    iOS 18.3 notification summary changes, iPhone 17 design rumors, iOS 19 Camera app

    Benjamin and Chance give their thoughts on Apple’s attempts to placate the BBC’s complaints about notification summaries with iOS 18.3. Also, the rumored iPhone 17 Air design has a divisive camera bar on the back, and this week also saw an intriguing leak showing apparent design changes for the iOS 19 Camera app.  And in Happy Hour Plus, Chance struggles to find new things to watch and — much to Benjamin’s delight — brings his own Apple TV app complaints to the table.

    Apple smart doorbell, next-gen CarPlay MIA, TV+ weekend promo

    Benjamin and Chance kick off the new year with a catch-up on Apple missing its deadline for next-gen CarPlay to be released in an actual vehicle, and assess the response to picking the Vision Pro as 9to5Mac’s Product of the Year. There’s also rumors of an Apple-branded smart doorbell to discuss, and TV+ tries a new marketing gimmick with a free weekend promotion.  And in Happy Hour Plus, the duo make some fun predictions about Apple-related news headlines that could happen sometime this year.  Sponsored by HelloFresh: America's #1 meal kit!
