Hello, welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. I'm William Gallagher. Our sponsor this week is Masterclass, actually a particular favourite of mine. Details about that later. And I'm joined by Wesley Hilliard, who this week has, what I think is a particularly good topic

for Apple Insider Plus, the extended edition of the podcast for paid subscribers.

Now, Wes, hello, but you suggested this while I was eating a biscuit.

So frankly, I could just nod so enthusiasm that crumbs flew everywhere.

It was horrible.

If anybody listening could just put down their biscuits for a moment what's the topic so this week we want to talk about what

companies or apps anyway we would like to see apple purchase in the future i think that would be

a very fun topic considering the news that we'll get to later yeah but. But yeah, I have a couple in mind that I wouldn't mind seeing fall into Apple's purview anyway.

If you haven't already, you can get Apple Insider Plus by subscribing either to our Patreon or via Apple podcast subscriptions.

Links to both are in the show notes and it would be just be good to have you

with us. And if you have already subscribed, thank you. Now, news this week, slightly dominated

by something that happened over there in America. Wes, you're kind of closer to me.

What's the Apple relevance to what's been going on? Yes, no need to get into anything crazy here.

We're not that kind of show, but if you'd like to talk to us about it, you can always send

us an email.

That's fine.

Tim Cook and many tech CEOs did reach out to the winner of the presidential election and congratulated him, which honestly is normal.

I think it's pretty funny, actually, every time this happens, everyone's shocked.

They're all like, oh, they're bootlickers or they're laying the groundwork for a deal.

It's just like it's the president.

We elected them.

It doesn't matter if you like him or not.
