Summary

Benjamin and Chance get excited for iOS 19, off the back of WWDC 2025 being officially announced this week. Also, Siri fallout continues with newly announced leadership changes, with Vision Pro lead Mike Rockwell taking over the voice assistant. We debate whether that’s a good thing. Also, AirPods Max gets a software update out-of-the-blue, and Bloomberg reports Apple is considering adding a camera to the Apple Watch.

And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin gets his first real experience with electric car ownership, and the quirks of the cables and charging apps that it entails. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
