#1428: Apple posts record Q3 profits, Apple terminates app affiliates, USB Restricted Mode explained, Siri relationship tips

Apple had a busy week. The company posted record revenues and profits for its third fiscal quarter and then terminated affiliate fees for Mac and iOS app sales. Adam Engst sees this move as unnecessary, mean-spirited, and harmful. Also this week, Josh Centers shares tips about how to teach Siri about the people in your life and explores what the new USB Restricted Mode in iOS 11.4.1 means for you. Notable Mac app releases this week include Bookends 13.1.2, Cardhop 1.1.3, and ScreenFlow 8.0.
