Benjamin and Chance react to the disappointing news shared by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that the new Siri features are facing even more delays. In happier news, a bunch of iPhones, iPads, and Macs are due for an imminent refresh. Meanwhile, Tim Cook reminisces ahead of Apple’s 50th birthday.

[And in **Happy Hour Plus**](https://9to5mac.com/join/), we discuss the design of the Ferrari Luce and Jony Ive’s sniping comments about his former employer.
