This week on the Cult of Mac podcast: The “special Apple Experience” planned for March 4 doesn’t sound like a typical Apple event. What could it be? And what new hardware will we see?
It definitely doesn’t look like Apple CEO Tim Cook will be hitting us with his standard “good mooooorning” … we go over the possibilities.
Also on the Cult of Mac podcast:
- Apple is ramping up its AI efforts with three interesting new products: smart glasses, a pendant/pin and AirPods with earcams. The devices all have one thing in common — and we should see at least one of them later this year!
- While iOS 26.3 was a total snoozefest, the first beta of iOS 26.4 brings some exciting new features.
- We try to wrap our minds around the strangest MacBook Air setup we’ve ever seen.
- And finally, Griffin gives us the scoop on an excellent, affordable iPhone game controller he reviewed.
