This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Leaked code indicates Apple is working on a new iMac Pro, years after the powerful all-in-one faded from the scene.
Does a new iMac Pro make sense in the Apple silicon era? And what price point would make it appealing? We discuss the possibilities.
Also on The CultCast:
- The 20th-anniversary iPhone sounds like a real cracker — if Apple can pull off the impossible.
- Another leak gives us a look at new features coming in iOS 26.4.
- Hate iOS 26’s Liquid Glass user interface? Griffin walks us through a weird hack that will keep your iPhone on iOS 18 forever.
- We wrap up the show with our new trivia segment, Apple Genius. Should we make it a regular addition to the podcast?
