So it’s my job to help @iyaz.bsky.social this week understand what Apple users want from the Google-Apple partnership. We also trash AI assistants while drawing each other.

It’s a tricky PR moment as Apple also launched two new products. I unpack it all in this week’s One More Thing video: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/can-apples-new-airtag-track-how-many-fans-tim-cook-just-lost/30 Jan 2026 17:05 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdnry6ya2s2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3md2secowpc2fMy husband doesn’t like updating his iPhone. But Apple can be sneaky. It updated overnight. He’s assaulted with Liquid Glass, complex screenshots, pointless dizzying animations. I try to help, try to calm and coach him. But I can’t ease his pain. One week in and he is sending me… Android fan memes.23 Jan 2026 03:52 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3md2secowpc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3mbz2c64vnc2jHeading back home after covering another exciting CES exploring future tech, meeting awesome people, and working with the best crew in the biz. ❤️ @cnet #ces2026 #bestofces09 Jan 2026 17:43 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbz2c64vnc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3m5mqt5vbvs2uBehind the scenes of my @cnet.com video shoot today.

But Tim Cook doesn’t seem worried. If you look at where Apple is heading, the next stage of AI will still help the iPhone and Apple thrive (even if Siri needs more time): https://www.cnet.com/tech/apples-rivals-are-betting-big-on-ai-but-tim-cook-doesnt-need-to-worry/08 Aug 2025 14:04 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvvgbnlxr22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3lslux6ft3k2hApple’s recently pulled down video (the parent presentation) is part of a pattern of problematic marketing from Apple, and it got me thinking about what is different now compared to the iconic “cool Apple” ads of the past: https://www.cnet.com/tech/apple-ads-arent-cool-anymore-heres-what-i-think-changed/27 Jun 2025 14:45 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lslux6ft3k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3lqfovjjmfs2nUniversal patented new tech to pull off wild animatronics at Epic Universe — and it’s amazing how robots interact with guests (Toothless is wild).

We call it Tech Therapy. This week’s episode is impressive just from how many times we say “slop.” 🫠 [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Mar 2025 03:12 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll6cgcgfq22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/bridgetcarey.bsky.social/post/3lkdqpfng4s2tThere’s much rage about Siri’s Intelligence being delayed. It’s bad marketing to boast about unfinished magic. But Apple isn’t the only guilty party. Now Apple is delaying to get it right. That’s better than treating us like guiena pigs with our most personal info. My take on the drama this week: https://youtu.be/AQwuv2XT8Qg14 Mar 2025 13:46 +0000at://did:plc:jcan7js5xytl2o7b7w4vggqu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkdqpfng4s2t
