John Ternus is now Apple CEO, last-minute iPhone event rumors, Apple TV price increase

Benjamin and Chance talk about John Ternus’s first week in the job as Apple CEO, and how much Tim Cook will still be involved. Also, it’s the last chance for iPhone event rumors, with details about some health updates for the Apple Watch Series 12 coming to the fore. And there was an Apple TV subscription price hike, for the second time in as many years. And in Happy Hour Plus, on the eve of iPhone 18 Pro, we reflect on our overall positive experiences using the iPhone Air for the entire year. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
