Audio Pizza

Two out of three of the team hit the Apple Store, and all three have opinions about iOS 27. Siri AI turns out to be properly useful, VoiceOver keeps dropping out when AirPods are in, and somewhere in between there's a cross body strap, a burgundy iPhone and a campaign to bring back "struth".

Apple dropped new Macs with no fanfare, finally shipped a folding phone, and
let Tim Cook actually walk out the door — and somehow the biggest fight of
the episode is whether you can run a decent AI model in your spare room.

Everyone's seen the demos. but we wanted to know  whats under the shell. So Scott,
Shaun and Garth sat down with Glidance founder Amos Miller and went straight into
the tech stack — cameras, cost maps, three motors, the lot.
What comes out is a much better story than "AI mobility device". It's a story
about deliberately NOT using AI where thirty years of boring, reliable robotics
already works, and saving the clever stuff for the one problem it's actually
good at.

The conventions handed us nothing, so the lads do what the title says. A grumble about iOS 26 turns into a proper scrap over whether reporting bugs to Apple is worth the breath — then Shaun, dumped by a taxi at the wrong address, gets walked past a pavement full of cafe tables by an Aira agent. Also: foldables nobody can justify, a $4,485 domain, and AI built into an email client and ripped straight back out.

This episode of Audio Pizza covers Apple's recent price increases across several devices, early impressions of the iOS 27 developer beta , and hands-on testing of Apple Intelligence and Siri. The hosts also discuss FlowType, a new accessible typing keyboard, and share several examples of using AI coding tools to build accessible alternatives to mainstream software, including Stream Deck, WhatsApp, and audio mixer controls.
