What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on Elon Musk’s courtroom loss as a judge rules the X boycott is perfectly legal, EU broadcasters pushing for Apple TV and Siri to be regulated as gatekeepers, and Flighty’s clever new ‘Airport Intelligence’ feature. In the news, the UK has reversed its position on AI copyright following a backlash, Apple has officially announced WWDC26, and the latest iOS update brings age checks to the UK. There is also a look at a new macOS feature that could help your MacBook charge faster, a potential standalone app for Siri in iOS 27, and a major US government ban on consumer routers made abroad. The main show takes a look at the end of an era as Apple discontinues the Mac Pro, tracing its lineage from the PowerMac and the G5 right through to the thermal challenges of the "trashcan" and the final Apple Silicon models.
