| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for Wednesday, November 12, 2025. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.1 | We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:12.3 | Leading off today, Apple TV is about to wrap up its best year ever, and its executives, |
| 0:17.4 | Eddie Q, and others have recently sat down with Screen International to talk more |
| 0:23.0 | about Apple TV's pipeline, ad-supported plans, and more. This has undoubtedly been a breakout |

| 1:29.0 | hours in the past year than ever before. Finally, Apple wouldn't commit to releasing more films |
| 1:34.5 | in theaters. Instead, its executives emphasize that it plans to evaluate each movie's release |
| 1:40.3 | strategy on a case-by-case basis. The full interview is well worth a read and can be found |
| 1:45.6 | at the link in the show notes. Next up today, a new report from Bloomberg has details on when |
| 1:50.6 | to expect the launch of new M5 versions of the Mac Mini and the Mac Studio. We were already expecting |
