    Benjamin and Chance prepare to have their jaw dropped in the run up to the September 9 Apple event where we expect to see iPhone 17, Apple Watch Series 11 and maybe AirPods Pro 3.

Also, Apple TV+ ups its monthly price by a hefty 30%. And in Happy Hour Plus, we reflect on the last fifteen years of Apple event slogans, and whether there’s a trend of decline.
