Desktop AI is becoming a reality, and Apple wants the Mac sitting on your desk to replace at least some of the AI compute happening in massive data centers today. On this episode of What's Next Wall Street, we break down Apple's new Mac Mini and Mac Studio, escalating US-Canada tariffs, the campaign against Iran's oil exports, Callaway Golf's controversial Good Good Golf ad, and a potential multibillion-dollar sleep-tech IPO. First, the US-Canada trade fight is escalating. Canada is imposing 50% tariffs on more than 700 US goods as well as steel and aluminum, while President Trump is planning 50% tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, and auto parts by January. Greg Krause looks at who actually gets hurt, including Ford, GM, Stellantis, Canadian companies, and railroads, and why the broader impact on US GDP and inflation may be relatively small. His view: tariffs work best as protection, not manipulation. Next, Washington's campaign against Iran's oil exports is being described as an "economic D-Day." The Treasury wants to isolate Iran financially and target countries helping it sell oil, including China and Russia. Greg explains the important difference between sanctions and a blockade and puts the US military presence in the region into perspective. We also look at whether disrupting Iranian oil really threatens global markets or whether buyers and producers will simply adapt. Then comes Apple. The new Mac Mini starts at $899 with Apple's M6 chip, built on a 2nm process with a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU, and 16 dual-core Neural Engine. Apple says it can deliver up to 4x the performance of the M4 and process AI prompts up to 4.8x faster. More importantly, Apple is positioning the Mac Mini as an "always-on machine for AI agents." Instead of sending every prompt, document, or inference job to a cloud data center, developers can run LLMs locally using tools such as LM Studio and Krystallize.ai. The Mac Studio takes that idea much further. Starting at $2,499 with M5 Max and around $5,000 with M5 Ultra, configurations reach up to a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU, 512GB of unified memory, and 1.2TB/s of memory bandwidth. Apple says M5 Ultra delivers 4.3x the AI compute performance of M3 Ultra and 10x that of M1 Ultra. Thunderbolt 5 and RDMA also make it possible to cluster Macs together. Apple says a four-system configuration can deliver roughly 3x the inference performance of a single Mac Studio. That's potentially a major shift: powerful AI models running locally, privately, and without a recurring cloud GPU bill. We also examine Callaway Golf's apology over a Good Good Golf ad in which an influencer knocks a woman down while going after a driver. Does controversy like this actually affect a public company's stock, or does Wall Street ignore it unless the company's core customers care? Finally, Aura Health, maker of smart sleep-tracking rings, is reportedly considering a roughly $3 billion IPO at a $16 billion valuation after generating about $1 billion in revenue last year. Greg looks at the opportunity and the challenge of competing with Apple Watch, Withings, and an increasingly crowded health-tracking market.
