| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025. |
| 0:06.7 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by Bitwarden. |
| 0:13.3 | Leading off today, we've talked to some about the rumored color lineup for the iPhone 17 coming later this fall, |
| 0:19.2 | and a new report offers confirmation and additional |
| 0:22.3 | details on what to expect. For the base iPhone 17, we're expecting black and white, two |
| 0:30.3 | colors that are the same as the iPhone 16, alongside a new steel gray, a green, a purple, and a light blue. |

| 1:29.6 | This could be a small enough difference that most people don't even notice, but if anyone |
| 1:33.9 | does care about that level of detail, it's Apple. Next up today, watchOS 26 is coming this fall, |
| 1:40.5 | and it's full of new features. But unlike previous watchOS releases, there are several |
| 1:46.6 | tent pole features that will only be available on very recent Apple Watch models. If you're |
| 1:53.8 | looking forward to getting liquid glass on your Apple Watch and other new watchOS 26 features, |
