Apple Robots, Apple anniversaries, plus Spatial Video pros & cons, on the AppleInsider Podcast

By William Gallagher

On this week's episode of the AppleInsider Podcast, your hosts discuss the new Apple Robot rumors, reminisce about Apple's founding and the 14th anniversary of the iPad, and so much more!

As well as that 48th anniversary of Apple itself, this week also marks the 14th year since the unveiling of the iPad. That was the last product that Steve Jobs launched, and after all these years, no rival has managed to make a true iPad killer.

As much fun as there is in Apple's history, it is also a company with a complicated future. This week we learned that since abandoning the Apple Car, the company has begun looking in earnest at robots.

It may be hard right now to imagine Tim Cook stepping out on stage at a WWDC with some Space Gray version of C3PO at his side. But then Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak probably didn't spend a lot of time in their garage imagining making television drama and trying to make sports spatial videos.

Subscriber Bonus: This week's extra AppleInsider+ for subscribers is about Apple Services and how so many going down this week just highlights the fact that they've become vital to us.
