Then, they debate whether the iPhone 18 deserves your money and take on Apple’s influencer machine: Is the company trading tough questions for guaranteed applause? Plus, Mark answers your questions about the upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro and whether John Ternus will ever ditch the prerecorded presentation and deliver a live keynote.
