MacBook Neo review, Apple leadership changes, iPhone Fold rumors

Chance and Zac talk through changes to Apple’s leadership website and what they signal for the future. There’s also a pair of new Bloomberg reports focused on Apple’s delayed Siri smart display product, plus the looming iPhone Fold’s software interface. Finally, they go in-depth on MacBook Neo, discussing Chance’s review and answering some Ask9to5Mac questions.  

And in Happy Hour Plus, the pair do a check-in on Apple Vision Pro and whether there's about to a big boom in gaming. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
