This week, we’re diving into a cornucopia of topics, from an exciting new Copilot app for macOS to Microsoft finally giving Skype the boot.

• Segment 1: Copilot App for macOS Kareem and David unwrap the newest kid on the macOS block—the Copilot app. Is it the productivity miracle we’ve all been waiting for, or just another app to clutter your desktop? Spoiler alert: It’s smarter than your average bear!

• Segment 2: Microsoft Cancels Data Center Leases Microsoft is playing real-life Monopoly and calling it quits on some data center leases. What’s the strategy here?

• Segment 3: Office 365 Free with Limits The words “free” and “Microsoft Office” usually don’t mix, but there’s a catch—limits. Kareem and David delve into what this means for students, freelancers, and anyone who loves the word “free” but hates the word “limits.”

• Segment 5: New Photoshop App for iOS Photoshop is hitting the iOS stage with a new app that’s bound to make mobile artists swoon. David, a self-proclaimed Photoshop wizard, gives us the lowdown while Kareem tries not to ask too many questions about ‘layers’ and ‘magic wands.’

• Segment 6: Marc Benioff’s Comments on Microsoft’s AI Spending Salesforce’s Marc Benioff recently threw some shade at Microsoft’s AI spending. Is it an observation, a critique, or just some friendly rivalry banter? Kareem and David analyze Benioff’s remarks and what they mean for the tech titans.

• Segment 7: Microsoft Bids Farewell to Skype After years of ups and downs, Microsoft’s finally pulling the plug on Skype. Our hosts reminisce about the good, the bad, and the pixelated video calls that made Skype a household name before Teams came along.

EP:052 – Apple's port less iPhone, Gemini leading Copilot, and Microsoft's Dubious partners – MSFT Unboxed

Welcome to another electrifying episode of the Unboxed Pod with your favorite tech aficionados, Kareem and David! This week, we’re diving into a whirlwind of tech revelations, corporate gambles, and futuristic innovations. Buckle up as we unbox the latest and greatest in the tech universe—where the only thing port less is our patience for bad design choices.Topics Covered: 1. Apple’s Zero-Port iPhone 17 Air Apple is reportedly testing the waters with its boldest design yet—a completely port less iPhone 17 Air. This futuristic device ditches physical charging ports in favor of wireless charging and cloud-based data syncing. While it’s a sleek move, it’s also stirring debates about practicality, especially for users reliant on wired CarPlay and efficient charging. 2. Microsoft’s New Features for Notepad, Paint, and Snipping Tool Microsoft is rolling out AI-powered upgrades for its classic apps—Notepad, Paint, and Snipping Tool—to all Windows Insider channels. These updates promise enhanced functionality and a sprinkle of AI magic, making these tools more versatile and user-friendly. 3. Xbox Weekend Free-Play Days: New Games Gamers, rejoice! This weekend’s Free-Play Days lineup includes exciting titles like Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Bassmaster Fishing, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, and Thief Simulator. Whether you’re into RPGs, fishing, or tactical combat, there’s something for everyone. 4. EU’s New Orders for Google and Apple The European Union is cracking down on Big Tech with fresh directives under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple is being pushed to open its ecosystem for better third-party integration, while Google faces scrutiny for favoring its own services. The EU’s proactive stance highlights its commitment to fair competition in digital markets. 5. Microsoft Teases New Xbox UI with Steam Support A leaked mockup of Microsoft’s new Xbox UI has sparked excitement, showing a potential Steam integration. This feature could allow gamers to access their Steam library directly on Xbox consoles, blurring the lines between PC and console gaming. 6. Google Gemini’s Canvas and Audio Overviews Google’s Gemini AI gets a major upgrade with two innovative features: Canvas, an interactive space for document and code refinement, and Audio Overviews, which transform documents into podcast-style audio discussions. These features aim to redefine productivity and accessibility. 7. Microsoft’s $30B Data Center Gamble with Musk and BlackRock Microsoft is spearheading a $30 billion data center project in collaboration with Elon Musk’s xAI, BlackRock, and UAE-based MGX. Dubbed the AI Infrastructure Partnership, this ambitious venture aims to dominate the AI infrastructure race but raises ethical and environmental concerns.Closing Note: That’s a wrap for this week’s Unboxed Pod!
