The Mac & Forth Show 365 - Extra Large Napoleon

On this week's episode of The Mac & Forth Show, join Alan, Dean, Steve, and Karl, as they discuss Apple's iOS 16.7.1 update addressing security vulnerabilities for older devices and the new AirPods Pro 2 firmware update aimed at bug fixes. They also delve into the financial ties between Apple and Google, with Google's payment to Apple for being the default search engine on iOS now ranging between $18 to $20 billion. The hosts touch on Tim Cook defending Apple against greenwashing accusations, Ridley Scott's 4-hour director's cut of 'Napoleon' for Apple TV+, and a nostalgic revelation about Steve Jobs wanting the Macintosh design to embody the early Beatles' energy.
