Tailosive Tech Podcast

Tailosive Tech Podcast is an Apple show in the loosest sense. The rumors, product cycles and software updates are all there, but they arrive through three regulars, Mike, Randy and Drew, who put as much energy into teasing each other as into the news. That balance is the point. Predictions are where the show is boldest. In one conversation, a voice argues that Apple has gone long enough without a price increase that a jump is coming, possibly a folding iPhone at fifteen hundred, seventeen hundred or even two thousand dollars, pitched at the same buyers who choose the Pro Max. A guess that the Pro Max itself gets phased out draws a pained objection that it is the best seller. The E model, one of them suggests, simply comes and goes as it pleases. The show looks backward too. A round on Apple's flops names Ping, Apple Music Connect and MobileMe, while the 2015 to 2019 MacBooks prompt a back-and-forth over whether they simply flopped or arrived about ten years too early. Newer hardware gets the same bluntness: the Air prompts a debate over whether YouTubers who praise it are fair judges when they carry more than one phone, and the Vision Pro comes up as a test of how far into Apple someone really is. Even version numbers are fair game, with nobody quite sure whether 26.2 refers to iOS or macOS. Plenty sits outside Apple entirely. Rivian's R3 comes up, along with how far below the R2 it might land on price, and one sign-off praises the Steam Machine's design before congratulating Blue Origin, prompting a reminder that those are two different companies. There is a stretch on Mr Beast, charity and how chasing views can outrun good intentions. Life tangents fill the gaps: a chainsaw in need of cleaning, a back sore enough to call for a muscle relaxer, a double USB-C brick left behind as a parting gift. The comedy carries much of the weight. Randy's Trump impression is popular enough that one of the others blames the commenters for encouraging it, and an 'I said, wow' refrain turns up in more than one episode. The lineup is not fixed, either; one episode calls it musical chairs, with Drew absent and Mike dragged back in, and audio listeners get told who is missing. The show is candid about its own stop-start history as well. It mentions last year's travel-driven hiatuses, holds a funeral for Series 8 in 'Ep. 293 - Series 8 Finale', comes back after most of a year away in 'Ep. 294 - The Return', and announces a break in 'Ep. 297 - Fin'. For Apple speculation with the rough edges left on, it is an easy recommendation.
