Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Guy Serle, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, and Web Bixby take on a variety of topics, including OpenAI releasing a ChatGPT app for Mac, potential successors to Tim Cook at Apple and Apple securing the supply of TSMC’s two nanometer chips. On a broader topic basis, the panel looks at the U.S. House passing the Ticket Act, and the new SEC requirement for institutions to disclose security incidents within 30 days. Finally those lucky few panelists discussed their experiences with the new iPads, focusing on features like the OLED screen, Apple Pencil functionality, and performance.
