Episode notes
Staggered Releases With Hands-On Demos
- Apple may avoid a big streamed keynote by using staggered press releases paired with in-person hands-on sessions.
- John Gruber and Ken Ray both think Apple will announce products via newsroom posts and then offer station-style demos in select cities.
Minor Apple Trim By Berkshire Hathaway
- Berkshire Hathaway trimmed about 4% of its Apple stake in the December quarter, despite Apple remaining its largest holding.
- The sale was small relative to Berkshire's size, leaving roughly $62 billion in Apple shares on the books.
AirPlay Video Hidden In CarPlay Beta
- iOS 26.4 beta includes code that could enable AirPlay video playback in CarPlay when the car is stationary.
- The feature is hidden and clunky in the simulator, so it may ship later or be refined in iOS 26.5.
