Someone has to pay for all this AI, nothing is foolproof, and Apple's lawsuit with OpenAI is only just beginning, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.
As Wesley briefly covered on the previous episode, artificial intelligence is costing companies billions with very little return. Every new tool comes with a new cost, sometimes money, sometimes privacy.
It's a grab bag of topics with people putting iPhones in freezers, getting Uber email scams, and Google Health gaining Apple Health syncing capabilities. There's also talk about Apple's lawsuit with OpenAI, which doesn't seem to be going well for OpenAI even though court hasn't even convened yet.
Your hosts discuss what's expected for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold, which should be announced in just under six weeks. The event itself could be announced at any time, but it most certainly won't be live.
BONUS: Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear AppleInsider+, the extended edition. This time, speaking of payments, the discussion is on technology and money, specifically how we need to manage our finances and how options like Apple Card can usually help.
