If there is a theme to this week’s episode of the In the News podcast, it is the future of the streaming video industry. We dig deep into the rumors that Apple might buy Disney. Yes, it’s crazy, and we ultimately don’t think it will happen, and yet just maybe it could for lots of different reasons. We also talk about why cutting the cord is not what it used to be anymore. And we talk about future Apple TV+ shows that may include a 3D component made especially for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro. We also take the time to say Happy Birthday to the iMac, which went on sale 25 years ago. Oh yeah, and it also helped to save Apple from destruction and led to the name for the iPhone. And we discuss other interesting topics such as the latest version of Goodnotes.
In this week’s Where Y’at? segment, we talk about how an AirPod will only help you to recover a stolen item if the thief doesn’t know about it.
