This week Dean returns to join Alan, Steve, and Karl as they hack their way through the week’s Apple and tech-related news. Well, hold on to your hats, folks, because Apple just dropped a jaw-dropping surprise! Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are making their grand entrance to some iPads. Cha-ching!

Apple Music Live is back in action, with Ed Sheeran strumming the first chords (groan, but hey, it's something). Uh-oh, Severance is in trouble again, so Alan's collywobbles will be staying a bit longer. Meanwhile, an iPhone takes a casual 14,000-foot nosedive and survives (cue applause), but still can't handle a two-foot one. And finally, you could be just a few clicks away from snagging that long-abandoned Twitter handle you've been eyeing. Fingers crossed! All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.
