Apple Black Friday, AirDrop on Android, macOS Tahoe thoughts 

Benjamin and Chance give their opinion on the 2025 Apple holiday ad ‘A Critter Carol’, and talk about some of the Apple tech deals they’ve found this Black Friday. Also, there’s more clarity on the Apple Watch WiFi sync changes coming to the EU next month, and Google pulls off an impressive stunt to make AirDrop work on Android. Finally, Benjamin installed macOS Tahoe for the first time and has some thoughts to share. And in Happy Hour Plus, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman delivers the first details about what to expect from iOS 27.
