Apple has marked its 50th anniversary, although arguably a year too soon but we'll get into that, plus there's good news for users of the Apple Vision Pro, hopeful news about Siri, and bad news for certain vibe coders, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.
The fiftieth anniversary celebrations are, quite reasonably, marking the half century since the partnership of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, was founded on April 1, 1976. But the Apple we know today, the corporation, was created in 1977.
It seems unlikely that Apple will do another round of parties and events, but we'd be up for it if they did.
At least one of your hosts is also very much up for the news that racing simulators are being made for the Apple Vision Pro. At least one host is grumpy about how bad Siri continues to be.
But then both are thoughts about vibe coding and in particular whether Apple is right to more constraints on this type of app. There's a solid line back to the earliest days of the App Store and its preponderance of fart apps, too.
