Dan Moren returns to the show. Topics include Atlas, ChatGPT's new web browser (or anti-web browser) for the Mac; Apple's loss in a "landmark" regulatory lawsuit in the UK regarding App Store commission rates; multiple reports of poor sales for the iPhone Air; and Apple's M5 product announcements: MacBook Pro, iPads Pro, and Vision Pro.

ChatGPT Atlas: new Chromium browser for Mac:
- OpenAI’s announcement.
- Their promotion to get 7 days of higher ChatGPT usage if you make, and keep, Atlas as your default browser.

Dan’s review of the new Dual Knit Band for Vision Pro (which is now the only band included by default with the M5 models).
