Apple Intelligence Table Stakes: https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2026/06/apple-intelligence-table-stakes/

On this episode of Focused, I’m joined by Mike and our guest Stephen Robles, the new co-host of Mac Power Users who went fully independent last October.

It’s a feedback episode, which means Stephen and I finally crack open the mailbag that’s been piling up. I went hard at Apple Home since we last talked.
