Apple Year in review. What was the best or worse for 2021?

HomePod Mini they still need to expand the need for more support with the smart home. they did add colors. What about maybe a HomePod Max bring a big one back?

AitTag was introduced this year and they have room for improvement. Security concerns with rogue tags being placed in cars and other places. Could they start integrating them into devices down the road? We give thoughts on how they are working so far.

iPhone 13 was a great upgrade? We discussed was there really anything special with this year?

iPad Pro 2021 was there a big upgrade from previous models? The M1 processor was the big addition but not a big upgrade.

iPad Mini 6th Gen

iPad 9th Gen

Apple Watch Series 7 added a slightly larger display and battery life but was it worth the upgrade? Dave did give in with a gift card and trade in value.

AirPods 3rd Gen

Crazy item released this year is the Polishing Cloth. They give it away with a $5k monitor but not a MacBook Pro and others?

Items discontinued in 2021 HomePod and iPhone XR

What are our expectations in 2022 with Apple? Will the lightning connector go away to USB-C or will they go all wireless?
