One year later, I think Apple TV+ is doing something novel and interesting — massive international rollout with a slate of original, non-franchise content reminiscent of the HBO days of yore. Christina Warren, former USA Today, Mashable, Gizmodo — thinks, after The Mandalorian 2, we’re going to find Disney+ and their massive brands are now fully operational. 

So, we’re going to argue about, and we’re going to do it right now.

Where are the specs?!! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie

In this video, I’m going to explain to you why Apple absolutely will not tell you how much RAM is in an iPhone. Why they will hide how many milliamp hours the battery is. Why even the clock speed of their custom chipsets isn’t listed on the spec sheet. And why you can’t even turn your own AirPods on or off your own self. 

And I’m going to so it — right now!

iPhone 12 mini reality check! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie

*That’s according to some research and analysis companies conducting a soft target search of every carrier store, rep, web search, back-of-house, henhouse, outhouse and presumably doghouse in a 5-mile radius. And saying "the iPhone 12 mini might not be a big hit."

But with Apple releasing an unprecedented 5 new phones this year, including not just a smaller, less expensive SE but splitting the market between a smaller mini and a less expensive SE, what is consumer demand really showing us to date?

To find out, I called up one of the best and brightest industry analysts in the business, Creative Strategies’ own Carolina Milanesi.

AirPods, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more! But first, get $25 off your cell phone bill at http://rene.ting.com !

Everyone always talks about the Apple Ecosystem. That it is. How it is. But I’m going to do you one better — I’m going to tell you why it is. And how it works. Just works. Sometimes.

How Apple gets you hooked and, most importantly how each product you buy makes all the other products you own just that much more valuable.

And I’m going to do… it right now.

Touch ID Returns?! But first, get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie

The iPhone X ditched Touch ID for Face ID. Now… the iPhone 13 just might be bringing Touch ID back. But.. Probably not in the way you expect and… probably not for the reasons you think.

Get ProRAW ready! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie

iOS 14.3 is here and Apple ProRAW for the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max is here with it. And to talk all about it, I’ve got Austin Mann on the line, who’s taken just a few minutes off from what I can only imagine must be filming the Yo-Yo Ma performing a pop-up concert for elephants in Gauteng, or writing up the next definitive iPhone camera review, to chat just all about it.

Multitouch Macs?! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie

I think Apple should bring multitouch, capacitive touch screens to the Mac and that, post-iPhone, any screen that doesn’t respond to touch is just going to feel broken. John Gruber of Daring Fireball and The Talk Show fame thinks macOS and Mac hardware just aren’t optimized for touch and adding it would only make the Mac worse.

So, we’re going to argue about it. From macOS Big Sur to iOS apps on the Mac to Apple Pencil support. For you. Right now.

Google Chrome might just be thrashing performance on your Mac. And I’m going to explain why, how, and most importantly — what you can do about it. And I’m going to do it, right now.

Because… this is a breaking controversy, with some people ready throw Chrome in a burning trash fire and others saying there’s no proof, and even talking about it is reckless and shameful.

Apple is taking AirPods… to the Max. The over-the-ear, full-on-headphone, full-on can, Max. Computational. Spatial. Noise Canceling. Silicon powered Max.
