Chance and Zac discuss the changes on Apple’s leadership website and what that means for the future. They also focus on two new Bloomberg reports about Apple’s delayed Siri smart display product and provide information about the upcoming iPhone Fold's software interface. Finally, they conduct an in-depth review of the MacBook Neo, discussing Chance’s review and answering some Ask9to5Mac questions.
