Main Show starts at 10:00

We discuss all the big announcements Apple made this week including the MacBook Nano, new M5 SoC, and iPad Air. Is Jack Dorsey right to get ahead of it and right when he says “most companies are late?” to replace people with AI tools, or is this a mistake? And we have a new Zillow Game. Can you guess the correct price for these stunning properties before the staff do?
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, Len Peralta, Nica Montford, Roger Chang, Joe.
