Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast this is your host Stephen Robles and joining me

0:08.9

this week is Wes Hilliard. Thanks for joining me again Wes.

0:11.8

Yeah good morning Stephen. Good morning. I'm going to be hitting this big article. We're going to talk about it later in the show. Obviously, we have an update on the Epic versus Apple Saga, and this article that compared, is Apple the new Facebook or is Apple like

0:24.6

Microsoft we definitely both have some thoughts on that we're gonna be covering that

0:27.8

later in the show but first let's jump on some news bits there's been some rumors

0:32.2

flying around about the release dates for the new Apple watch, iPad, and

because by the time they hear about it,

1:22.0

three more decisions have been made since.

1:23.7

Apple Watch and iPhones always released together, so the rumor that it was coming out, like next week in a press release,

1:29.6

always felt a little weird. I think next week's just going to be some iPads, you know, maybe a little

1:34.2

redesigned but nothing groundbreaking. So maybe Apple TV too. I know there's rumors that new Apple TV model with a

1:39.8

remote, a different style remote. Possible, that feels like a press release type product.

So another piece of news, Iowa 13.7 was released this past week,
