Summary
Benjamin and Chance react to Mark Zuckerberg’s recent comments about Apple having not done anything good recently … as we also look forward to everything Apple is set to announce this year. Apple gets in hot water about ‘Enhanced Visual Search’, and the iOS 18.3 beta cycle continues, if a little bare.
And in Happy Hour Plus, as Apple ramps up its marketing effort for Severance, Benjamin tries to convince Chance to give the show another chance. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.

| 0:00.0 | So here are some words I never thought I'd say on this podcast, Mayo. |
| 0:03.1 | Hit me. |
| 0:03.7 | Mark Zuckerberg. |
| 0:04.8 | Mark Zuckerberg joined the Joe Rogan Experience podcast last week. |
| 0:09.7 | And we're not going to talk about all the crazy stuff he said outside of the Apple World. |
| 0:14.0 | But he did say some... |
| 0:15.0 | What did I call those shows last week? |
| 0:16.8 | Alternative news podcast. |
| 0:18.1 | Alternative news podcast, yes. |

| 0:52.8 | the meta-ray bands integrate with the iPhone, |
| 0:56.5 | like Apple's AirPods, can integrate with the iPhone. |
| 1:00.0 | So this, of course, is really gotten under Zuck's skin, apparently, |
| 1:04.3 | and now he's going on Joe Rogan to complain about it. |
| 1:07.5 | The problem, I think, with Zuck's argument, though, |
| 1:10.3 | is that instead of just focusing on saying, like, hey, the DOJ has this lawsuit, there's stuff going on in the EU, I think Apple is not playing fair for reasons X, Y, and Z. |
