Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider podcast.

This is your host, Wesley Hilliard speaking.

Williams away for a couple weeks, so this week I am joined by my editor, Mike Worthily.

I'd like to thank our sponsors this week, Masterclass and Nord Security. If you're

an Apple Insider Plus member, you're not going to have to worry about ads. It's an ad-free show.

You'll get Apple Insider Plus after the show, the extended discussion. And this week, it's just me.

Mike's a little bit too busy to stick around for that. But I will be discussing a little bit of what we've

covered before in the show, social media, its place in our lives today, Apple's place in that,

and how I'd like to see it evolve in the future, especially around micro social networks

and how Apple could maybe make those better for us. So if you want to hear about that,

you have to join Apple Insider Plus.

You can do that through Patreon.

You can get the show maybe a little early sometimes.

If I'm editing, I publish later on Thursdays after we recorded.

Everyone else, if you subscribe through Apple Podcasts,

you'll get the ad-free show in Apple Insider Plus.

And of course, that's on Friday early.

So here's Mike Worthley in our discussion of the news of the week.

All right, Mike, how are you doing today?

I'm okay.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone listening after the fact.

Of course, it is Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 942 Eastern Time,
