Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, July 14th, 2025.

I'm your host, Chance Miller.

We are sponsored this week by OnePassword.

Leading off today, as is tradition, Apple CEO Tim Cook was in attendance at the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho last week.

The event commonly referred to as a summer camp for billionaires

attracts executives across media, tech, politics, and many other sectors.

The conference has taken place in Sun Valley, Idaho for one week in July since 1983.

This year, Cook is in attendance alongside Apple's services boss,

Eddie Q. Cook is a regular at the Allen Company Sun Valley Conference, attending many times over the last

two decades. The conference is notoriously secretive, and we rarely learn anything about what goes on behind

closed doors. It has, however,

been the place where many of the biggest tech and media acquisitions have been brokered over the years.

That includes Verizon's acquisition of Yahoo, Jeff Bezos acquiring the Washington Post,

and Disney's purchase of ABC.

This year, Cook was pictured mingling with Jeffrey Katzenberg, the media mogul who previously served as chairman of Walt Disney Studios and co-founded DreamWorks Pictures.

His most recent venture, however, was Quibi, the short form video streaming service that imploded six months after launch.

Katzenberg is also a major player in the Democratic Party, serving as the co-chair of Joe Biden's

2024 campaign and subsequently Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign.

Other notable attendees at Sun Valley this year include OpenAIs Sam Altman, Google's Sundar Pichai,

Spotify's Daniel Eck, Disney's Bob Iger, Amazon's Andy Jassy, Rivian's RJ Scorange,

Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Netflix's, Ted Sarandos, and many, many more. Again, don't expect to learn much at all about

what happens at Sun Valley, but you can hit the link in the show notes for a gallery of images
