WWDC 2023, Apple Music Classical review, AR Headset in doubt

WWDC 2023 kicks off on June 5th, there are some questions about the launch of the rumored AR headset, Apple Music Classical is officially available, and more, all on this week's episode of the AppleInsider Podcast.

Your hosts discuss WWDC 2023 and what may or may not be announced. The Apple AR headset was all but confirmed until it wasn't, and rumors suggest internal sentiment about the product is quite negative.

Apple Music Classical is here, and Stephen's excitement was palpable as he jumped into a review of the initial release. There are some odd features missing, and Wesley is desperate for control over his Music algorithm, but this is just the start.

Apple Pay Later is rolling out to users, and your hosts discuss what this means for Apple as a company handling customer debt. It launched alongside iOS 16.4, which may have finally solved everyone's HomeKit issues.
