After an era of stability, Apple may be about to mix things up with the iPhone, including a bunch of new models and even a change to the traditional fall roll-out cycle. And we end the Summer of Fun with a summery Ask Upgrade!

We imagine how Apple would tier list its own products, and discuss what kind of personality might work for a tabletop "robot" from Apple.

Blind ranking bad Apple products, hope for a cheaper MacBook, the perils of Siri automation, and apparently Tim Cook took a trip to Washington D.C. for some sort of meeting?

What's that jingling sound? It might be the cash in Apple's pockets after its record financial quarter. Also: Apple responds to the DoJ, and Tim Cook gives an AI pep talk.

It's Public Beta season and we've got thoughts about the good and bad in macOS Tahoe. Then Jason forces Myke to listen to some sounds of the summer, but probably not the ones you're thinking of.

Apple casts a chill over its employees (and the media?) by alleging a theft of trade secrets, the first folding iPhone really might only be a year away, and Myke forces Jason to rank some classic Apple products.

We discuss Apple's iOS design conundrum, why Apple and F1 are wrong for each other, why it's probably time for a changing of the guard at Apple, and some new and exciting Apple AI contretemps.

Fueled by charts, we compile our wish list for a new, low-cost Mac laptop. Will it be a recycled M1 Air or something new? And how disappointingly high will the price be? Also, Apple tries to balance product priorities with its internal teams.

Why the macOS Tahoe Menu Bar is the start of something big, Apple may lower the bar when it comes to an entry-level Mac laptop, and we try to parse the reasoning behind Apple's latest set of EU App Store rules and regulations.

Can Apple buy its way out of trouble? We discuss the promise and pitfalls of Apple acquiring an AI powerhouse... or literally anything else.
