New iPhone 17 case materials, Apple Watch chip leaks, Ask9to5Mac

Benjamin and Chance discuss the supposed new ‘TechWoven’ cases coming from Apple for the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple reportedly exits the MLB streaming partnership, and iOS 26 beta 7 shows we are close to launch on Apple’s next bumper product cycle. Also, they tackle some listener questions in another installment of Ask9to5Mac. And in Happy Hour Plus, after Chance already beat Benjamin on the annual predictions made in January, the pair craft up another three picks for the rest of 2025. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
