Today’s episode dives into two massive power shifts in the tech world—both involving Apple, and both carrying ripple effects way beyond Silicon Valley.
First up: Tesla finally caved on Apple CarPlay. Yes, you heard that right. After years of Elon Musk saying “nope,” Tesla is rolling out a wireless, windowed version of CarPlay. It won’t replace the Tesla UI—because, let’s be honest, Elon’s never giving up that real estate—but Tesla owners have been begging for this forever.
And with sales softening, demand rising, and competitors offering full CarPlay integration, this move says more about the EV landscape than the software itself.
Then we head across the world to China, where Apple and Tencent just struck a deal that would’ve sounded impossible a year ago. For years, both companies were locked in a cold war over WeChat’s mini-games and in-app payments.
Now? Apple gets a cut—a reduced 15% commission, but a cut nonetheless—on one of the biggest digital ecosystems in Asia. It opens a massive new revenue stream for Apple and calms a long-simmering dispute in a market where Apple simply cannot afford to lose momentum.
Together, these stories paint a bigger picture:
Apple is moving differently. Smarter. Quieter. With more flexibility than we’ve seen in years. Whether it’s cars, apps, or global partnerships, they’re playing the long game… and it looks like they’re winning it.
