It’s the end of an era as famed head of industrial design at Apple, Jony Ive, is leaving the company. In this episode I break down two Apple products I believe embody Jony’s formidable design leadership and which truly set the stage for both Apple’s preset and future: iOS 7 and iPad Pro. I also get to touch on a couple of odd Apple-related news items as well as the new streaming service from WarnerMedia to rival Netflix.

Stay cool out there folks! It’s going to be a hot summer.

Well this is something I’ve never done before! My video show “Essential Life with Jared” and my podcast “The Jared White Show” have joined forces today to bring you a special video edition of the podcast!

Also, why use Vimeo instead of YouTube? Quick answer: OWN YOUR OWN PLATFORM. (Long answer: I like paying for ad-free hosting services built specifically to cater to creators. That’s not what YouTube is.)

Anyway, whether you consume the audio podcast or video format of the show, I hope you enjoy it!

It’s that time of year again, when the wizards of Cupertino descend upon San Jose, CA with their magic potions, and spellbind us all with their latest and greatest. Of personal interest is the laser-focused and very welcome attention Apple paid to the unique role of the iPad and its place in the broader world of computerdom, leading to the the rip-roaring announcement of iPadOS. Let’s dive right in.

It’s the 1-year anniversary of The Jared White Show! We’ll be celebrating today by a look back at Steve Jobs’ fascinating perspective on the future of the open web and the dangers of proprietary runtimes like Java and Flash, how old tech can be repurposed for new uses in fun ways, WebGL fluid simulations, the joys of seeing your kids get hooked on games YOU loved as a kid, and a whole lot more.

Spring fashion is all around us, and this podcast is no exception! The Jared White Show and JaredWhite.com have a fresh, funky new design for spring, and it all started…because of an Apple Watch band. Also a throwback to the internet of 1996, depressed superheroes, and gender-swapping cosplay. Never a dull moment!

Ol’ Vladimir is up to his tricks again over in Mother Russia, but that won’t stop us from talking about the open web and geek culture—from Avengers: Endgame to Veronica Mars to the website typography choices of candidates running for President of these United States. I also play jungle music and read toots. You just can’t get this kind of content anywhere else, folks.

A deep dive into the greatest aspects of Instagram and what alternative services will need to build in order to provide compelling experiences. Also: is 2019 going to be The Year of the iPad Pro? Will iOS 13 push the envelope of what’s possible in iPad software? And, of course, the Pasta PC. You’re welcome.

There’s been a ton of news in the world of media & entertainment, and Jared is here to dive right in. Also: trolls, awesome people, a book on Cook, working in Portland, and a whole lot more.

In this episode, Jared gives a detailed rundown of all of the big commercial internet services he’s replaced with open source, self-hosted software that he controls himself. Why would anyone want to do this? Three words: privacy, security, and network health. Just as biologists know that an ecosystem with a large amount of organism diversity is more resilient to environmental pressures, the internet is more resilient to negative forces when software and content is distributed and spread across the network (instead of consolidated under the thumb of a few big corporations or governments). Save the open web by switching to your own “personal cloud.”

The first 1 hour long episode of The Jared White Show ever! From computer meltdowns to Dongletown, from dreaming of WWDC 2019 goodies to pontificating on the coming iOS app invasion for the Mac, this is one Apple extravaganza you won’t want to miss. Oh so much good stuff inside, so pour yourself a cuppa and let’s get started.
