Apple is expecting big iPhone 16 sales, at least based on the number of chips its ordering for the upcoming device. Dave has some questions about the new iPhone that will determine which one he buys. Apple is getting an OpenAI Board Observer Role as part of its deal with OpenAI and Netflix is phasing out its cheapest ad-free plan.

This week, Dave and I talk more about AI, including some thoughts from Dave on improvements to make Siri work better for everyday tasks. We also look at rumors Amazon will charge for the AI version of Alexa. There is an ongoing debate on how much RAM the new Apple Silicon Macs need to run all of its tasks, and a new iCloud option allows users to keep certain files allows downloaded to their devices.

Apple rolled out its AI strategy at WWDC this month. Dave and I take a look at that, as well as, a look at what Siri will be able to do, and what it won't do at launch. There are rumors of a new M4 MacBook Pro, which makes sense since Apple just released an iPad with the same chip. The requirements for Apple's new AI strategy calls for an iPhone 15 Pro, which leaves a lot of older iPhone users out in the cold.

Dave and I talk about his upcoming eye surgery that just scares the hell out of me. We also talk about Dave's trip to an Apple Store to try out the new iPad Pro M4. Dave even figured out something the Apple employees didn't know how to do—I'm not surprised, he's a very smart man. Then we look at some of the rumors coming out about Apple's iOS 18 surrounding AI features and Siri.
