The Dalrymple Report: Tim Cook, Siri, iPhone Pocket

There are rumors that Tim Cook is getting ready to retire from Apple as early as next year. Many think the leak was intentional to test the market to see what it thinks before making anything official. In Japan, users can replace Siri on their iPhones, something people in most countries would love to do. Apple’s newest product, the iPhone Pocket seems to be a success.

The Dalrymple Report: HomePod mini, AWS, Apple Shiny, and F1

My wife got me a pair of Meta Ray Ban sunglasses this week. I haven’t had a lot of time to work with them , but I talk about my first impressions. Amazon Web Services went down this week and it took some of the biggest tech companies along with it. So much money and expertise all taken out because of one simple mistake. Apple’s recently released products are availble for pickup now and there doesn’t seem to be shortages of anything. Apple has been moving into live sports over the past couple of years with MLS and MLB, but now Apple has it’s biggest one ever–F1. They will get the rights to F1 in the U.S. starting next year.
