9to5Mac Happy Hour 434: iOS 17 Accessibility features, Beats Studio Buds+, M3 Mac chip details

<p>Benjamin and Zac discuss the surprise announcement this week that Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are coming to iPad, with brand new UIs designed for touch input. Apple also unveiled the new Pride Band and watch face for 2023, and the EU is already warning Apple not to make the iPhone 15 USB-C port proprietary. Even bigger screen sizes are rumored for the iPhone 16, and Zac reveals that he has committed the cardinal sin of becoming a right Dock person.</p>

watchOS 10 redesign with widgets, universal AirTag detection, Siri bureaucracy

<p>Benjamin and Zac discuss the new iOS 17 rumors including Heath app coming to iPad, and a new Journals app. Some unidentified Mac model identifiers are revealed in Find My code, Bloomberg gives some more details on how the AR/VR headset is powered, and unsurprisingly Apple plans to restrict the upcoming iOS sideloading support to only markets where it is legally required to.</p>
