Connected

Myke is on vacation, so Federico and Stephen are finally free to talk about the Mac and AirPower. Then, a Q&A session for the ages.

Federico and Myke are joined by alternating members of the Hackett family. Beats are reviewed and thanks are given.

(Please rate and review the show.)

There's a new version of iOS 15 right around the corner, Apple has announced a new self-service repair program and Twitter is up to ... stuff.

Everyone is bad at setting up their iPhones.

The guys are joined by One True John to talk about life midway through the Apple silicon transition, how Shortcuts for the Mac is shaping up and how our moms feel about our media appearances.

This week on the show: impressions of the AirPods 3 and new MacBook Pro, a review of macOS Monterey and a breakthrough new magnetic product for listeners to track the Connected Chairmen.

Myke, Federico and Stephen sit down to score their "Unleashed" picks ... and unbox something amazing. Then, a special bonus segment featuring some very surprising coin flips.

Apple has announced an October event, so the Passionate Ones have gathered to appoint a new Event Chairman through the making of Picks, both Regular and Risky.

This week, the boys turn to a 12-sided die to shape the order of the show. Topics on the dodecahedron include follow-up, the 10th anniversary of Steve Jobs' death, tables coming to Craft and Amazon's recent announcements.

The guys all have new iPhones and talk about their migration experiences and initial impressions of the new devices. Then, Myke and Stephen tell Federico what he already knew — that the new iPad mini is fantastic.
