Mike Wuerthele
This week on the AppleInsider podcast, Mike and a special guest discuss the three-pronged attack against modern CPUs, continues the iPhone battery debacle debate, delves into the $16 billion Spotify copyright lawsuit, and talks about the iMac Pro.
Over the course of an hour, AppleInsider editor Mike Wuerthele and special guest Charles Martin discusses:
- As expected, Intel, and ARM's CPU flaw debacle leads the show. Both Mike and Charles expect that this will be a long-term problem, with no good solution for older hardware.
- It turns out that Apple does have architects that understand Chicago winters, but perhaps not proper software settings to engage a fancy roof heating system.
- Spotify might be in deep trouble, with a management company seeking $1.6 billion to right past wrongs.
- Apple's battery saga appears to be winding down a bit, with the early start of $29 replacements for the iPhone 6 and newer — and a discussion on how the batteries work.
- ... and if you want a battery regardless of how the diagnostics go, Apple will replace it anyway! Just be sure to make an appointment.
- The iMac Pro is a gorgeous machine, with performance to boot. Mike talks about his brief hands on with a unit in an undisclosed Washington DC location.
- Like winter, CES is coming. Prepare yourself.

Coconut battery? In the mac app store? Where?
Apple can't impact the battery material supply like they do with other phone companies. Tesla's Model 3 production ramp is already doing that. 1 Tesla is equivalent to about 15,000 iPhones.
