This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Our first glimpse at Apple’s AI-powered robotic lamp makes us giddy with hope for the secret iPad-on-a-stick project we’ve been skeptical about in the past. The surprisingly lifelike Apple robo-lamp looks just like Pixar’s Luxo Jr. How cute is that?!?
Join us for the conversation about the future of Apple robotics. (We really want the lamp.)
Also on The CultCast:
- Apple’s M5 chip is coming soon. How good will it be? And what product will it appear in first?
- Griffin tells us all about Apple’s new Invites app, which makes party planning simple and elegant.
- Erfon provides an update on his recent MacBook Pro and iPad Pro purchases. The 14-day return window is about to slam shut — and he’s not sure he’s keeping either of them! He explains why.
- We weren’t sure we could top the Andy Warhol banana iPhone case, but Zugu’s iPad case with a built-in dead man’s switch is right up there on the “crazy products we love” list.
