Chance is back again with a review of another new Apple product. This week, we dive into the HomeView, the app experiences, speaker quality, what it’s like to use Siri AI and more on Apple’s first smart display. Also, Apple releases its best holiday ad in years and the new Apple TV 4K also launches.
And in Happy Hour Plus, John Ternus apparently pressures Craig Federighi to move faster on AI. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
