This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Who cranked up production in the Apple rumor mill? We talk through the latest ones on this week’s show, and some of them sound pretty wild. Fresh details about the iPhone 16 Pro’s new camera button make it sound very cool. A rumored bigger iMac sounds very exciting. And an Apple skunkworks project — a $1,000-plus device that puts an iPad on a rotating robotic arm — sounds absolutely bizarre.
Also on The CultCast:
- What’s new in the latest iOS 18 beta.
- What to expect from upcoming iPads.
- Apple gets greedy with Patreon, and creators aren’t happy.
- And Erfon gives us a surprising update on his inexplicably water-damaged iPhone 15 Pro Max.
