1) Apple's "Wonderlust" event highlights:

• A18 chip: 30% faster, key for AI on-device

• Apple Intelligence: Siri revamp after 13 years

• AirPods as hearing aids: $249 vs. $2-3k traditional

"Software talk dominated hardware - sign of Apple's services shift" - Trung


2) OnlyFans by the numbers:

•$6.3B revenue in 2023 (up from $300M in 2018)

• 80% creator payout (vs. 55% YouTube)

• More UK tax revenue than North Sea oil ($118M vs $69M)

• Only 42 employees

"They're bringing in money for the UK government more than oil in the North Sea" - Bilal


3) OnlyFans business model:

• Subscriptions + transactions for "extras"

• No app store = no 30% Apple tax

• Desktop/browser-only = massive user dedication

• Power law: Top creators earning "NBA money"


4) The rise of Apple as a healthcare company:

• AirPods as hearing aids

• Apple Watch health features (ECG, blood oxygen)

• Focus on preventative care and monitoring

"Apple doesn't come in with 'hey man, like a hearing aid, we're cheaper.' That's not their play." - Trung


5) Hip-hop drama: Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Announcement

• New Orleans upset over local artists exclusion

• Jay-Z's role in halftime show selection questioned


6) The future of content creation:

• AI-generated videos becoming indistinguishable

• Potential premium on "real" content

"The level of AI video is getting pretty insane." - Bilal
