| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Tuesday, July 8th, 2025. |
| 0:07.1 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by Robo Rock. |
| 0:12.2 | Leading off today, we have a few new rumors about the iPhone 17 lineup. |
| 0:16.5 | A new supply chain report suggests that the iPhone 17E will launch next spring. It doesn't |
| 0:22.9 | sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today's report indicating that it will |
| 0:27.7 | be the exact same display as the iPhone 16E. One big question when Apple replaced the iPhone |
| 0:34.2 | SE with the iPhone 16E was whether that new naming scheme pointed to an annual |
| 0:39.6 | update. The iPhone SE series had been updated at random intervals, but at least based on this |

| 1:27.2 | option. This is described as a very quote unquote barely blue color option. |
| 1:28.2 | This is described as a very light blue that will be hard to even tell if it's blue in certain lighting conditions. |
| 1:35.7 | It sounds very similar to the shade of blue we've seen on other Apple products over the years. |
| 1:40.8 | Most recently, the sky blue color of the MacBook Air. At this point, it's unclear |
| 1:45.8 | what other colors the iPhone 17 Air will be available in, but if Apple replicates the MacBook |
| 1:51.7 | Air colors across the board, we can expect sky blue, midnight, starlight, and silver. In other news today, |
