Benjamin and Chance reflect on their tech support anecdotes during Thanksgiving, and also praise the new Apple ‘Heartstrings’ holiday ad. Meanwhile, Apple quietly dropped a few little features on the floor as we await the iOS 18.2 release candidate. In other news, Apple is rumored to be negotiating for rights to stream immersive content from the seat of a football stadium, in its latest Vision Pro content efforts.

And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin gets an 11-inch iPad Pro to review. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
