This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Looks like we have a date for the next big Apple event: Mark your calendars for September 7! We’re expecting iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 — which both sound awfully familiar — and hoping for something surprising.
Also on The CultCast:
- Kim Kardashian’s “neutral colors” for Beats Fit Pro actually look pretty enticing. Who woulda guessed?
- An Apple stock update from Erfon might leave you jealous if you sold in a panic.
- Let’s drag Mark Zuckerberg for his pathetic metaverse avatar. Everyone else is!
