Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

I need a favor for a story: I want to know about software you built, just for you. Not to sell, not to raise capital for, just for you and you alone. Vibe coding, hand-coding, whatever works. If you've done this, email me (david at the verge dot com) or DM me — I want to hear all the stories!

Last year, Apple sued YouTuber Jon Prosser after he shared three videos leaking details of Liquid Glass. ​Apple usually doesn't acknowledge leaks. But this time, it decided to pick a fight in public. My report, including new statements from Prosser: www.theverge.com/tech/908….

Apple hates leaks. Apple really hates leaks.

The season 3 finale of Version History is an absolute banger, and yes, it's about rotary telephones. It's also about patent drama and AT&T's monopoly and how one company can come to rule just about everything www.theverge.com/podcast/….

For a year, @vicmsong.bsky.social tested and researched continuous glucose monitors to find out what they could actually do for non-diabetics. Why MAHA is obsessed with CGMs, why doctors are confused, and why too much data made Vee spiral:

Apple at 50: the good and the bad | The Vergecast

It's Apple 50 week, so we've got an Apple-filled podcast. First, longtime Apple journalist Jason Snell joins the show to talk about the state of the company as a hardware maker, a software maker, a force for good in the world, and more. Then, blogger and entrepreneur Anil Dash explains why he's worried about the rise of video podcasts, and the role Apple could play to make it better. Finally, The Verge's Allison Johnson helps answer a question on the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email ⁠[email protected]⁠!) about swapping your phone for a watch. And a tablet. And some other things. 00:00 Intro 01:23 Today’s Apple-Focused Lineup 04:22 Apple Hardware Report Card 08:41 Apple Software Growing Pains 15:48 Design Innovation and Risk 23:22 Walled Garden Ecosystem 29:19 Brand Values 37:29 Next CEO and What’s Next 44:21 Open Podcast Promise 48:04 Why Podcasts Stayed Open 52:05 Why Video Got Platformized 55:10 Apple Video Podcast Shift 58:02 Risks of Approved Providers 01:02:36 Algorithms Versus Discovery 01:05:01 Keeping Video Podcasts Open 01:09:36 Hope for Open Media 01:15:06 Hotline: Watch Only Life 01:19:59 Apple Watch Limits 01:23:18 Foldables as the Fix 01:26:27 Wrap Up Version History now has its own channel!
