    This week Apple held it’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) where it announced the new features coming this fall to macOS, iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. The Mac got the biggest redesign in 20 years, and Apple officially announced that it’s going to transition the Mac away from Intel chips to its own in-house designed Apple Silicon processors. I break all this down plus give my thoughts on the questions that seemingly will not die: Will Apple merge macOS and iOS? And will the Mac get a touch screen? Listen for all that and more.

    20 years on the Mac, transitioning the Mac to ARM processors, and Apple’s upcoming film release

    This month marks 20 years since I bought my first Macintosh computer. I look back on those 20 years of Apple fandom and the two things that made me fall in love with Apple and changed the course of my life. Also in this episode I discuss the rumored upcoming transition away from Intel chips in the Mac and over to ARM-based chips. I have three important questions about how this will affect users and developers. And finally, we now know when and how Apple will be bringing Greyhound (the new WWII naval drama from Tom Hanks) to Apple TV+.
