About
Benjamin and Chance discuss Apple’s 50th anniversary celebrations, and the same-day news that the Studio Display XDR got $400 cheaper (kinda). Also, Chance reviews the AirPods Max 2, Apple formally discontinues the Mac Pro, and Mark Gurman teases us with even more iOS 27 Siri details.
And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin explores the latest in the third-party external display landscape. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
