The Dalrymple Report Podcast

I'm heading off to Miami this weekend to see the Formula 1 Grand Prix and take a tour of the pit lane. Dave tells us about his Formula 1 experience and his trip to Texas. We also talk about the rumored deal between Apple and Google to have Apple use Gemini in Apple Intelligence—this is probably the best news ever for Apple's AI efforts. If you haven't tried Gemini yet, you should—it's incredible. Apple is being forced to allow developers to get payment for their apps from outside the App Store, which means Apple doesn't get its 30% cut.

Dave has a few questions for our listeners about the difference in inexpensive dash cams compared to the more expensive models. Apple dropped the "Available Now" tagline from its Apple Intelligence page because... well, it's not available. A new survey suggests that people would be willing to pay up to $10 a month for Apple Intelligence.

The iPhone is as popular as ever among teens, according to a new study. That's important because as they grow up, they are the ones that will be buying new phones.
