Summary

Benjamin and Chance discuss the merits of Apple returning to the long-gestating idea of an Apple television set, in the context of its refocusing on smart home devices. Also, the second-generation AirTag is rumored to arrive in 2025 with some nice enhancements, and Apple’s original film division continues to waver on strategy.

And in Happy Hour Plus, Chance bemoans Apple’s abandonment of accessories like the MagSafe Battery Pack, and gives his thoughts on the new Belkin strap for Vision Pro. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.

0:00.0	So on Happy Hour Plus last week, Mayo, we talked about your brand new car now that you've got your driver's license.

0:07.6	You said you went on a little bit of a drive today, your first real long drive.
0:12.3	Any thoughts?
0:13.1	Yeah, I've like pitted about around my house and stuff.
0:15.6	But today I went to actually supermarket and did run some errands and stuff on what I would call a decently long drive.
