This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Apple’s roadmap for future AirPods looks ambitious. The company wants them to take your temperature to see if you’re feverish, test your ears to see if you’re hard of hearing, substitute for hearing aids, and charge using the one cable to rule them all … USB-C!
It’s all music to our ears.
Also on The CultCast:
- An Apple monitor that works even when your Mac is turned off sounds perfect for some people and situations.
- Shocker! Apple’s Vision Pro headset might be in incredibly short supply at launch.
- Threads, the new “Twitter killer” from Meta, doesn’t seem like that much of a threat. However, it might play nice with Mastodon. (Griffin is optimistic!)
- Suddenly, Apple TV+ seems like a streaming contender.
- Erfon is pretty, pretty, pretty pleased with Apple’s stock price.
