Bryan Chaffin makes up for lost time with discussions of what the new MacBook Pro does and doesn’t offer, and the need for Force Touch/3D Touch, Touch ID and the Touch Bar to be consistent across Apple products. Tim Cook’s performance as Apple CEO, Apple product placement in the media, the demand for the new MacBook Pro and the need for Macintosh refreshes across the line are among the topics Bryan touches on.
