Apple's AR headset & 15-inch MacBook Air rumors, macOS disrupts Dropbox

Apple's potential 15-inch MacBook Air

The rumored 15-inch MacBook Pro could be right around the corner, and it could radically change the Mac lineup. Apple may finally reveal its mixed reality headset during WWDC, but it isn't clear if this is going to be the consumer-friendly model, or a stepping stone to Apple Glass.

Next, it's time to dive into Apple fintech and what it might mean for the future of services. Savings accounts, iPhone leases, and "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) schemes seem to walk a fine line between useful and predatory.

Also, Apple has changed how third-party cloud providers are able to interact with macOS — and Dropbox will soon change its app for the worse. Finally, your hosts discuss mechanical keyboards and how Stephen might finally learn how to use one.
