008: We’re all playing in a giant sandbox
Darren, Jesse and Stuart return with the eighth episode of WTF Tech show. We discuss the the 10th birthday of the iPhone, WWDC and the vitally important (and incorrect, since it’s missing the 3 of us) “most influential people on the internet” (Recorded Thursday 29th June 2017).
Show notes:
Chitchat
* Crap movie reboots
10th Anniversary of the Apple iPhone
* What are our memories of the first iPhone?
* Did any of us have one?
* $499/$699 plus contract!
* Visual voicemail revolutionary
* ‘Had me at scrolling’
* BlackBerry/Treo/WinCE aside, it heralded in modern (and consumer driven) computing
Tech Nostalgia
What were our first smartphones?
Stuart: Series of Nokia featurephones (including the classic 6210/6310), then Windows Mobile on an Orange branded Huawei device. Had Nokia laptop-style phones, plus various Blackberries.
Darren: Samsung Windows flip, BlackBerry Bold
Jesse: Treo 650
WWDC
iMac Pro, actual VR support, and a general re-interest in the Mac
VR support is pure catch-up, but it’s a new area for them
Will they one day have a machine that can play video games?
Poor little Mac mini (SM: oh I love those machines!)
Will it be like the G4 Cube?
iOS
Big updates for the iPad Pro again
Huge focus on AR
HomePod
Terrible name?
Beginning of the end for Sonos?
Will Siri be good enough to compete against Echo and Google Home?
Yet Another Big Malware Strike
Second verse, same as the first
More damaging
Time Magazine’s “25 most influential people on the internet”
We’re not on it…..again
