I published a new episode of Cortex today: Myke talks to Casey Newton about his workflow for running Platformer, from idea capture to writing and publishing, and how he balances reporting with access to some of the most powerful people in tech. Casey is one of my favourite reporters in

After yesterday’s Apple event, I came away feeling this may have been one of the most solid overall lineups in a very long time. Each of the models has a compelling set of features, and I think this is a strong upgrade year — even if you’re coming from
We’re in it now, folks — it’s well and truly iPhone season. I’m really looking forward to the keynote event on Tuesday. With rumours of a refreshed design for the Pro phones, new AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the iPhone 17 Air, it feels like we’
