About
Benjamin and Chance follow up with increasingly worsening availability of Mac mini and Mac Studio, as well as some interesting iOS 27 tidbits and the first feature updates to the Creator Studio suite. Also, Bloomberg reports on the design of the upcoming Apple smart glasses, and Apple shutters three retail stores.
