The truly bezel-less iPhone, rumored AirPods roadmap, WWDC invites go out

WWDC invites have gone out, and Chance will be there in person. The pair discuss the narrative of indifference that hangs over WWDC at the moment, as the tech industry is currently dominated by daily onslaught of AI news. And while the rumors about the AirPods roadmap are a little bleak, Apple is rumored to be shipping a truly all-screen bezel-less iPhone in a couple of years time — an exciting prospect indeed.

And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin has spilt tea on his Magic Keyboard, which leads into a bigger topic of the pair talking about what sits on their desk. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
