The Artemis Accords have been unveiled, but will their adoption be hurt by their rollout? Could Starship be more useful as a refueling station than a lander? Jason and Stephen get into these questions and more this fortnight.

From iCloud to Apple TV+, Apple’s range of services is broader then ever, but how do they all stack up? Is this shift to services changed how users should view the company?

AppStories #162: Federico Interviews Craig Federighi⇢

On this week’s episode of AppStories, Federico spoke with Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi about iPadOS and its new cursor support. I’m only a few minutes into the episode, but it’s already super interesting.
