Summary

You'd think that everything there was to know about the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and revised 16-inch MacBook Pro was already known, but then you don't have a secret laboratory. The AppleInsider podcast goes in deep on the details, and also examines when you should concentrate on specification details, and when you should not. There's a lot to discuss about just physically getting hold of a MacBook Pro, too, as online preorders keep slipping, yet certain models are tantalizingly in plentiful supply in Apple Stores. It's much the same with the Apple Watch Series 7, too, and we explain just why everything is so hard to find this year. Plus, you may not be all that fussed about the notch in the new MacBook Pro, but Apple knew some people would be very vocal about it. So they already added a workaround to macOS Monterey. Speaking of Apple adding things, it is surely now going to pick up more subscribers to it services. Apple Music is now on the Playstation 5, and Comcast is bringing Apple TV+ to its subscribers. That could just be enough, just about, to mean Apple isn't doomed. What with having only taken in a mere $83.4 billion in the September quarter and beaten all financial records. It's tough being Apple. If you have questions you’d like answered on the show, tweet at Stephen Robles and William Gallagher, or email us here.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to Apple Insider. This episode is brought to you by Coinbase.com.com.
0:09.3	It back up in VPLS and regular host Stephen Robles will tell you why throughout the show.
0:15.4	Now that will be because this is the show where Stephen takes a holiday and Apple does
0:20.7	not. As we recall this, Apple is giggling all the way to the bank, again, having broken
0:27.1	all of its earnings records. Let's just say they've taken in 83.4 billion dollars in
0:34.5	the September quarter and that's before they get to count all that you and I have spent
0:40.1	on the new MacBook Pro. Don't go there, don't think about that, move on. Hello, I'm William
0:45.7	Gallagher sitting in for Stephen and taking this chance to bring on someone I wanted to
0:51.6	question. I'd say interrogate, but he might hear me. So Mike Wertherley from Apple Insider.
0:57.8	Welcome to the podcast. Hello, this is my whopping second appearance on the Apple Insider
1:02.9	podcast since I've been here for five and a half years. Yeah, we'll let you back eventually.
1:09.9	I actually wanted to show you on this week for a really key reason. This episode is not
1:14.9	going to be all about the MacBook Pro, but it is now I'm going to start with the MacBook
1:19.6	Pro because of your review of it. I mean, I read everybody's review. Like everybody else,
1:26.9	I watched all the reviews, read all the videos, possibly the way around, followed everything.
1:32.3	Listen to podcasts of the lot and then I read your epic about it. I'm going through this
1:40.3	thinking, how did I not know this? How did he find out that? By the end, I'm starting
1:46.7	to think this man has a secret in the baritory somewhere. And then at the very end, you reveal,
1:52.4	yes, you did. It turns out I do, but we'll talk more about that at the end of talking about
1:57.3	the MacBook Pro. I have done, I want to say at this point, I've done 20 pieces of Apple
2:03.6	hardware reviews for Apple Insider. I've done a couple of MacBook Pros, done a bunch of
2:09.5	iPhones, done a bunch of iPads. And this one was honestly, I think was the hardest one
