LTP 148: December 2025

The show starts with a few followups to previously covered stories, followed by a rundown of Apple's interactions with regulators and the courts, before quickly summarising some developments in Apple's services and original content business. The three main stories are India's failed attempt to force-install a government app on all cellphones, an eventful month for apple's App Stores, and an even more eventful month for Apple's HR department. The show finishes with a quick rundown of a few other smaller stories that made the news in December. Listen, subscribe, and get the show notes at lets-talk.ie/lta148.
