This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Apple’s invite for the September 12 “Wonderlust” event offers potential clues about what to expect. Mostly it makes us wonder: Will Apple ever release an iPhone in a truly bold, lust-worthy color?
The main thing we can agree on is that it looks like the iPhone 15 colors might be more boring than usual.
Also on The CultCast:
- We’ll miss Apple’s leather cases if the company really does pull the plug.
- 3D printing with metal could be a game-changer for the manufacturing process. If anyone can do it, Apple can.
- AirPods might receive the USB-C upgrade they deserve next month.
