We cover business card scanning, MDM possibilities, and Apple's rumored move to in-house chips. We also cover Apple's new education-focused products and services.
We talk about Texture, Zinio, Readly, and Magzter and how they differ and how we think Apple can help solve the problem of getting access to niche magazines. Ian also fixed his iMac and iPhone, with little-known troubleshooting techniques for both iOS and macOS. Finally, Kirk discusses his decision to "rightsize" from a 27" iMac to a 21.5" iMac.
We talk about Apple's acquisition of Texture, Adobe tech support, Ian's phishing problem, and then conclude our discussion of the road ahead for 2018 and Apple.
We talk a bit about how we listen to music vs. how we used to, and how Apple Music and the HomePod change that. Then we start a discussion about where some of Apple's main product categories can go.
We talk about iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents synching, then discuss our further impressions of the HomePod, including sound variances. And of course, we discuss the "ring" issue.
We jump right into talking about our experiences with the HomePod: what we like, what we don't like, and what we don't understand.
We talk about Apple Music's current subscriber numbers, the concept of an "Apple Prime" bundle of services, then dive into some of the Apple Q1 2018 earnings results.
We talk about the HomePod, the Sonos One, iOS 11.3, and then launch into a discussion of device sleep, Power Nap, and how all of it frustrates us.
