Benjamin and Chance react to the biggest news of the week and possibly the year. Tim Cook has officially announced plans to hand over the CEO position to John Ternus. A calm and orderly transition is right in line with Cook's playbook. Additionally, there are new leaks regarding iOS 27 and the colors of the iPhone 18 Pro.

In the Happy Hour Plus segment, Netflix has removed support for the system video player on tvOS. This has disappointed everyone who truly cares about the Apple TV box. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
