The Apple rumors were true, once again. This week, the company announced that Tim Cook will be stepping down from his CEO role on September 1. Replacing him will be John Ternus, who currently serves as Apple's SVP of hardware engineering. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget's Nathan Ingraham discuss Cook's legacy as Apple's CEO, and pontificate about how Ternus may change things. We're going from Apple being led by a logistics guru, to Apple being driven by a product and engineering wizard. Surely, that will have some impact on future products.

DeepSeek has released its latest AI models, the V4 Pro and Flash versions, a bit over a year after it went viral and became the top rated free app on Apple's App Store in the US. �Welcome to the era of cost-effective 1 million context length,� DeepSeek said in its announcement. Context length is what you call the maximum number of tokens that an AI model can remember, so the bigger it is, the more coherent and consistent an AI is when it comes to extended conversations. OpenAI�s recently announced GPT�5.5 has a context window ranging from 400,000 to 1 million, for instance.
The new model is still open-source, allowing users to download its code and modify it if they want. DeepSeek says V4 Pro has enhanced agentic capabilities and claims that it rivals top closed-source models when it comes to reasoning. It also says that it trails only Gemini-3.1-Pro in rich world knowledge. Meanwhile, V4 Flash isn�t quite as powerful as the V4 Pro, but it has faster response times. Still, its reasoning abilities closely approach V4 Pro, DeepSeek says, and it performs on par with with the Pro version on simple Agent tasks.
Shortly after DeepSeek topped the App Store charts, it was banned for use by US federal agencies and on government-owned devices. Authorities believed it was a national security risk and posed a threat to US AI stocks. South Korea also paused downloads of its app over privacy concerns.
� DeepSeek-V4 Preview is officially live & open-sourced! Welcome to the era of cost-effective 1M context length.

WATCH: Pete Hegseth takes aim at 'free riding' Europe in direct swipe - 'Much more their fight than ours!'
April 23 | 2026
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has hit out at Europe in a direct swipe amid America's efforts in Iran.Addressing a press conference at The Pentagon, Mr Hegseth said: "Europe and Asia have benefited from our protection for decades, but the time for free riding is over."America and the free world deserve allies who are capable, who are loyal, and who understand that being an ally is not a one way street. It's a two way street. "We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat."This is much more their fight than ours."WATCH ABOVE.
