iPhone 17, Apple Earnings, Epic Games, and a portable Mac mini on the AppleInsider Podcast...
As Apple again earns more in a quarter than predicted, it's also been hit by a punishing legal ruling. There are also new iPhone 17 dummies, and a "portable" Mac mini, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.

Apple did reveal that it's earned more in the last quarter than expected, though Tim Cook is a little inconsistent over whether there was any affect from how buyers then expected tariffs that were due to be a little steep. He also did not say directly that the tariffs turned out to be calamitously high, but he has predicted a $900 million cost to the company in the next quarter.
While that's more money than you earn in a dozen lifetimes, it's not going to put Apple out of business. Nor will the firm be finished after it took its near total victory over Epic Games and this week found a new way to lose anyway.
But then in more positive news, there's the slew of probable iPhone 17 dummy models that show just how the new design should look. There's a lot of internal moves at Apple that should be good for Siri and Apple Intelligence. Plus there's a treat of a so-called portable Mac mini, and a glacial new website from Apple.
