Benjamin and Chance kick off the new year with a catch-up on Apple missing its deadline for next-gen CarPlay to be released in an actual vehicle, and assess the response to picking the Vision Pro as 9to5Mac’s Product of the Year. There’s also rumors of an Apple-branded smart doorbell to discuss, and TV+ tries a new marketing gimmick with a free weekend promotion. And in Happy Hour Plus, the duo make some fun predictions about Apple-related news headlines that could happen sometime this year. Sponsored by HelloFresh: America's #1 meal kit!
