The Tailoring Talk Magazine episodes

  • Apple’s New Siri, EVs, BMW’s Electric M3 And The Future Of Cars

    Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, starting with the strange feeling of swapping an Apple Watch for a proper Omega Seamaster at dinner and what that says about style, habits and dressing like a grown up.


    From there, the conversation moves into Apple’s latest software betas, the promise of a genuinely useful Siri AI, whether Apple could replace paid AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for everyday users, and why privacy, on-device processing and private cloud compute could make Apple’s approach especially interesting for work, productivity and personal organisation.


    The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on cars and the future of the motoring industry. Roberto and Jon discuss the first images of BMW’s upcoming electric M3, the changing design language of EVs, why battery range and software may matter more than old-fashioned badge prestige, and how Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda could reshape the car market in the UK.


    They also get into used Porsche Taycan values, Hyundai’s Ioniq 9, the rise of chunky EV design, whether premium brands still have real badge power, and why the next generation of car buyers may judge vehicles very differently to those of us who grew up with petrol engines, Sunday drives and poster cars.


    A wide-ranging conversation covering watches, style, Apple, AI, EVs, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, Chinese car brands, car finance, software, batteries and why the whole car industry might be entering its biggest shift in decades.

  • WWDC 2026: Apple Intelligence, New Siri & Real-World Upgrades Explained

    Tim Cook has said his final “Good morning” and WWDC 2026 is underway – so Roberto and Jon are here to walk you through what Apple actually announced and what it will mean for your everyday tech life.


    This keynote felt very different: Apple grouped features across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS and visionOS instead of the usual OS‑by‑OS tour, and the focus was firmly on real users rather than developers. Roberto and Jon start with the “Golden Gate” opening skit and the handover to John Ternus before diving into the big story of the event: Apple Intelligence and the complete rebuild of Siri on a brand‑new foundation.


    You’ll hear how Apple has made Siri far more conversational, better at understanding what’s on your screen and in your apps, and more capable of using your personal context – all while keeping processing on‑device where possible and leaning on private cloud compute when it can’t. They talk through practical examples, like asking Siri to find an address buried in a text, plan a night out from your calendar and messages, or fix hundreds of weak passwords automatically so you actually get around to updating them.


    Roberto and Jon also break down device support and caveats. iPhone 11 and newer will benefit, but the most advanced Apple Intelligence features and custom Siri voices are limited to the latest devices, selected M‑series Macs, recent Apple TV 4K models and newer Apple Watch Ultras. They discuss what that means if you’re trying to decide whether to upgrade hardware or let your existing iPhone get a new lease of life in September.


    Beyond AI, they highlight the quality‑of‑life improvements that might matter even more day to day: faster app launches and AirDrop, seamless Wi‑Fi to 5G hand‑off so you’re not constantly toggling radios, better search in Mail, more inclusive shared photo libraries with non‑Apple users, and custom EQ for the latest AirPods. Vision Pro owners get special attention too, with the ability to turn spatial photos into full environments and new ways Roberto can virtually “re‑fit” clients from his workshop images.


    There’s also a quick look at enhanced parental controls and child‑safety tools, plus Apple’s new Image Playground and spatial reframing features – including the big question of what happens to “truth” in photography when AI can subtly re‑angle and clean up your memories. Finally, they consider how Apple One and iCloud+ tiers might gate some Apple Intelligence capabilities, and whether either of them will still need third‑party AI subscriptions like ChatGPT once all this ships.


    If you’re wondering whether to install the betas, budget for new hardware, or simply wait for the public release, this episode will help you work out your next move after WWDC 2026.

  • The Omega 007 First Light: A Tailor’s Honest Take on the Bond Watch That Came From a Video Game

    Somebody just paid the best part of eight grand for a James Bond watch that was designed for a video game before it was ever designed for a human wrist. And I’m genuinely tempted to be one of those somebodies.


    In this episode I read you my full, honest write-up of Omega’s new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light”, the first-ever James Bond chronograph, and give you a take you won’t get from any of the watch blogs, because I’m a tailor before I’m a watch person, and a lot of my clients are serious watch enthusiasts.


    I get into:

    •Why there’s a Bond watch coming from a video game and not a film, and why that’s cleverer than it sounds

    •The full specs, and why that 17.2mm thickness is the most controversial thing about it

    •Where it sits among the great Bond Omegas, from my own Casino Royale to the SPECTRE

    •The catch nobody mentions: it’s not a limited edition

    •The tailor’s angle: why this watch will not sit under a proper shirt cuff, and why that’s actually perfect for the story it’s telling

    •Whether it’s a future classic or a future footnote, and whether you should buy one

  • WWDC26 Preview: iPhone Air, Siri, AI and Ferrari Luce

    Bobby and Jon are back with a pre-WWDC catch-up recorded the day before Apple’s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference.


    The episode begins with Bobby calling Jon from his new iPhone Air, having just switched away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That leads into a wider conversation about why “less is more” might be exactly what Apple needs right now, whether the iPhone Air is the perfect antidote to oversized phones and why the Apple ecosystem has started to feel more complicated than it used to.


    From there, Bobby and Jon preview WWDC26, looking at what Apple may announce across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision OS, Siri and Apple Intelligence. They discuss whether Siri can finally become genuinely useful, whether Apple’s cautious approach to AI is actually a strength and why the company needs to balance intelligence, privacy, safety and simplicity.


    The conversation also takes a more serious turn into AI trust, generative AI, chatbot dependency, Silicon Valley’s disconnect from the real world and the dangers of releasing powerful technology before it’s properly ready.


    Then the episode swerves into motoring, with Bobby and Jon debating the new Ferrari Luce, its controversial design, whether it really feels like a Ferrari and whether Jony Ive’s involvement makes the whole thing more interesting. Jon also confirms he has ordered the Kia EV3 and gives an update on the long-running Nissan saga.


    Also covered: Apple TV, CarPlay, Vision Pro, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, proper cameras, camping gear and why watching an Apple keynote with a beer and Notes app open is apparently a perfectly normal hobby.

  • Are Suits Coming Back in 2026? Why Smart Dressing Never Really Left

    Are suits really coming back in 2026, or did they never truly go away?


    In this audio version of Roberto’s recent article, he looks at the shift happening across offices, boardrooms and professional life as more men start moving back towards smarter dressing. After years of relaxed dress codes, working from home and “dress for your day” ambiguity, many professionals are realising that a well-cut suit still does something casual clothing often can’t: it creates clarity, confidence and presence.


    Roberto explores why smart casual has become such a minefield for so many men, why younger professionals are using tailoring to stand out and why senior clients in finance, law, property and consulting are quietly rebuilding their suit wardrobes again.


    This isn’t really about nostalgia or forcing everyone back into stiff corporate uniforms. It’s about the modern suit as a practical tool: tailored but comfortable, elegant without being restrictive and still one of the easiest ways to look prepared, competent and intentional.


    Because maybe the real question isn’t whether suits are coming back.


    Maybe it’s whether we ever stopped needing what they represent.


    Based on Roberto’s article published on 25 May 2026.

  • 007 First Light, the Bond Seamaster & the Screen-Fatigue Watch Debate

    No Bond film in cinemas? No problem. Roberto and Jon get their first taste of 007 First Light, and discover the game comes with a brand-new Omega Seamaster that has every Bond fan reaching for their wallet.


    In this candid, unscripted episode, the pair wander from an unexpected burst of AI enthusiasm to the new Bond origin game, the watch debate it has triggered, and a genuinely thoughtful conversation about screen fatigue and stripping life back to basics. Along the way: the audio show officially hits its monetisation threshold (thank you, listeners), what really makes Bond a hero, and whether Roberto should finally retire his Apple Watch in favour of the Seamaster he worked years to earn.

  • The £8k Omega & the Bond Game | 007 First Light

    The postman finally turns up, Roberto rips open the package convinced it's the new 007 First Light game... and it's a sample of curtain track. From there it only gets better.


    This is a totally candid, unfiltered weekend catch-up between Roberto and his Tailoring Talk Magazine co-host Jon Evans, recorded in one take, warts and all. Jon's been playing IO Interactive's new James Bond game 007 First Light for three days. Roberto's still waiting for his copy. So instead they get stuck into the thing that's actually turned Roberto's head: the watch.


    Omega has released the first-ever James Bond chronograph, the Seamaster Diver 300M "007 First Light", a real watch you can buy for just shy of £8,000, designed from the ground up for the game. In this bonus episode the two of them get into:

    • Why a Bond watch is coming from a video game and not a film
    • How the watch works as an actual gadget inside the game, and the Q Branch scene where you choose your own
    • Whether it's a cynical cash grab or a genuinely clever bit of Omega marketing
    • The big problem: it's NOT a limited edition, unlike Roberto's Casino Royale (1 of 10,007) and the SPECTRE (1 of 7,007)
    • Whether it'll still become a collector's piece, and Jon's bold claim that the game itself belongs in the Bond canon alongside the films
    • Roberto's "biggish birthday" and the portrait in the attic


    Roberto's full written review and the companion YouTube video will go deeper on the specs, the heritage, and whether it's a future classic. Subscribe here and on YouTube so you don't miss it!

  • WWDC26: Apple’s AI Reckoning

    Jon Evans takes the mic for a solo Tailoring Talk Magazine tech episode, looking ahead to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026 and asking the big question: can Apple finally make Siri matter again?


    WWDC26 may not be about a shiny new Mac, headset or surprise hardware reveal. This year, the real story could be much bigger: whether Apple can turn Apple Intelligence into something people actually use every day.


    Jon breaks down the rumours around iOS 27, macOS 27, Watch OS 27, Vision OS 27 and the future of Siri, including reports of a dedicated Siri app, chat-style conversations, searchable history, favourites, Dynamic Island integration and a darker visual redesign.


    There’s also discussion of whether Apple could allow users to choose third-party AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as defaults for certain Apple Intelligence features, and why that would mark a fascinating shift for a company built around vertical integration.


    The episode also looks at Apple’s wider AI challenge. Apple has the hardware, software, chips, privacy story and ecosystem advantage, but Siri has spent years feeling behind the competition. If Apple can make Siri genuinely conversational, context-aware and useful across apps, Apple Intelligence suddenly starts to make sense. If not, WWDC26 could feel like another “wait until next year” moment.


    Also covered: iOS 27 refinements, Genmoji, Image Playground, AirPods settings, Google Cast in the EU, macOS productivity potential, Apple Watch health features, Vision Pro, Apple TV, the smart home and why new hardware may be minimal or absent at this year’s keynote.


    In this episode, Jon covers:


    • Apple WWDC26 and what to expect from the keynote
    • Why Siri may be the biggest story this year
    • Rumoured iOS 27 features and refinements
    • Apple Intelligence and third-party AI model choice
    • ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Apple’s AI position
    • macOS 27 and why AI may matter more on the Mac
    • Watch OS 27 and future health features
    • Vision OS 27 and the future of spatial computing
    • Apple TV, HomePod and smart home speculation
    • Why WWDC26 may be light on hardware
    • Whether Apple can make AI feel private, personal and useful

  • Bentley, AI and the Death of Dress Codes

    253 Bobby and Jon are back with another candid Tailoring Talk Magazine call, covering hot weather dressing, the return of office dress codes, Bobby’s Bentley factory visit, craftsmanship, AI fatigue, iPhone regrets, Apple rumours and why smartphones might be the root of all evil.


    The conversation begins with the practical problem of dressing well when it’s hot, including summer shorts, espadrilles, sliders, Jesus creepers and why office dress codes are starting to make a comeback after going too far the other way.


    That leads into a bigger discussion about dressing appropriately for your role, your environment and your audience, rather than simply defaulting to “wear a suit” or “wear whatever you like”. Bobby shares how he’s been helping companies think through modern dress codes in a more nuanced way, especially now that workplace expectations are shifting again.


    The main thread of the episode is Bobby’s recent private visit to the Bentley factory, where he hosted VIP clients and came away deeply inspired by the craftsmanship, process, detail and human skill behind each car. That sparks a wider conversation about why people value handmade things more once they understand what goes into them, and why showing the process behind bespoke tailoring could completely change how clients experience the workroom.


    From there, Bobby and Jon get into AI, authenticity and the likely return of appreciation for human-made work. They discuss whether AI is useful as a tool, where it becomes problematic, and why practical effects, handmade objects and real creative accidents still matter.


    As always, it’s candid, chaotic and only loosely on the rails.

  • Bond First Light, Project Hail Mary and EV Chaos

    252 Bobby and Jon are back for another candid, unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, this time covering Bond First Light, Project Hail Mary, electric cars, Apple rumours, Netflix recommendations, Dune, Bentley track days and the continuing saga of Jon’s broken Nissan.


    Bobby and Jon return with another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine ramble, beginning with the upcoming Bond First Light game and somehow ending up with Apple rumours, folding iPads, Bentley track days, Netflix spy dramas and a Nissan dealership fire.


    This episode starts with a proper Bond and gaming catch-up as Bobby and Jon talk about why gaming has become therapy, why First Light might be the closest thing to new Bond for a while and whether the new 007 game looks more like Hitman, Uncharted or something in between.


    From there, things move into Project Hail Mary, including Bobby and Carolina’s trip to see it at the BFI IMAX in 70mm, why the film has become such a rewatchable favourite and why some stories deserve to be seen on the biggest screen possible.


    There’s also a healthy dose of electric car chat, including Bobby’s early verdict on the new MINI, automatic parking, EV range anxiety, Jon’s Kia EV3 plans and the truly ridiculous latest chapter in his long-running Nissan saga.


    Also discussed: Apple Focus Modes, using tech to separate work and home life, the BFI cinema experience, Billie Eilish cinema chaos, Dune, Denis Villeneuve’s future Bond film, Netflix recommendations, The Boys, Daredevil Born Again, Bentley track days, Apple racing livery, the rumoured iPhone Fold and whether a folding iPad would actually make more sense.


    As always, it’s candid, chaotic and completely unscripted.
