Making, accessing and using versions of files is something that has been built into some iOS apps for a while now but few know how to access the feature.

In this episode, Fraser and Federico go into detail about how to access file versions in iCloud-backed apps like iWork. Federico then goes into the nuclear option and explains how he uses Working Copy and Git to maintain versions of the articles that end up on Macstories.net.

With iOS 11 released, apps are starting to receive updates to be compatible with features like the new Files app. In this episode, Fraser and Federico dig into what’s possible for cloud storage.

In this solo episode, Fraser shares information about iOS storage management, backup and OS updating in preparation for iOS 11.

When a major new iOS version lands, you’re going to want to update soon but do you have enough free space on your device and are you fully backed up? This episode will help you get ready on both counts.

This week Fraser and Federico take a look at the changes coming to one of the most-used applications in iOS: Apple Notes.

Apple Notes is now a seriously full-featured application, incorporating styled text, attachments and, in iOS 11, tables, inline sketches and a new Instant Notes feature. In this episode we look at many of the new features as well as a few old favourites (and old pain points!).

This week Fraser and Federico resolve their differences over another major iOS 11 feature: Multitasking.

The changes to Multitasking in iOS 11 are probably the most extensive re-working of any part of the iOS user experience in a long time. There’s a whole new set of behaviours for the Dock, Split Views and Slide Over. In this episode Fraser and Federico explore what they love (Federico) and hate (Fraser) about this new system.

In this episode, Fraser and Federico dive deep on the topic of Drag and Drop in iOS 11.

Drag and Drop is one of the cornerstone features of iOS 11, but how does it really work and how can you expect it to change your approach to working on iOS?

This week Fraser and Federico really explore the space looking at Mind Mapping tools on iOS.

As promised in Canvas 35 (Outlining), mind mapping is the other side of that coin. In this episode Federico talks us through some of the mind mapping tools that he uses when building his famous iOS review articles.

This week Fraser flies the show solo and brings an update on programming on iOS by going into detail on Apple’s Everyone Can Code initiative.

Everyone Can Code is Apple’s company-wide program for introducing coding techniques to interested students in schools and at home. Swift Playgrounds on iPad is one of the biggest features of this but there are other parts of the program too.

This week Fraser and Federico reflect on a couple of weeks of intensive use of iOS 11.

There is so much for iPad users to love in iOS 11. Files, drag and drop, multitasking, screen recording and the like. In this episode, Fraser and Federico dive into the excruciating detail of the impact on productivity of some of these changes. Sometimes they are much for the better but your hosts share their spidey-sense that some of this might not be fully baked just yet.

This week, we go in-depth on the iOS-related announcements from WWDC 2017.
