| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast. I'm William Gallagher. This week's episode is brought |
| 0:10.0 | to you by Notion and more about them later later but for now I'm going to admit to you that I am feeling |
| 0:16.8 | blue about the Apple car being cancelled forever. |
| 0:21.4 | Joining me though is Wes Hiliadu. |
| 0:24.0 | Am I right, Wes, are you less sad about the car going? |
| 0:28.0 | Well, it's complicated because we all know if Apple car ever came to be it would be at least |
| 0:35.4 | a hundred thousand dollars if not more uh... i mean it could have been a fifty sixty thousand |
| 0:40.3 | thousand dollar car but who are we kidding here? It was just one of those products that Apple could |
| 0:48.5 | have been working on, definitely a lot of signs, a lot of patents, a lot of internal build-up, a lot of signs, a lot of patents, a lot of internal buildup, a lot of rumors, but is it truly |

| 1:13.8 | project to other systems. But for now there is no Apple car coming. That's weird |
| 1:20.7 | though when you said that about the price I suddenly thought oh if it actually |
| 1:24.7 | launched I could see me talking to you about will there be an Apple car SE at some point and I got |
| 1:31.2 | interested again then and then I remembered it's all. |
| 1:35.0 | Do you think it would be called car? |
| 1:38.0 | Just Apple logo car? |
| 1:40.0 | Okay, I'm such the idea. |
| 1:44.0 | Well, yeah, I mean, is that better than I-car, which it would have been... |
