Technically Correct

After (unsuccessfully) trying to justify buying Retina iMacs, Ryan and Carlos discuss Ryan’s first week with his new car, the appeal of “new,” Amazon Prime day, Apple’s new third party accessory packaging standards, and the pros and cons of the iPhone 6 Plus. They also provide more thoughts on Apple Music and check-ins on their MacBook Pros and Carlos’s iPad Air 2.

In a show dedicated to first impressions and hot takes (as Carlos would say), this week’s episode covers Apple Music, Carlos’s review of the Pizza Hut Hot Dog Bites Pizza, and Ryan’s new car. Other topics include Instagram, the iPhone turning 8 years old, and whether it makes sense to buy a standalone camera anymore. 

Now that Taylor Swift has saved Apple Music, what else should she fix in the Apple ecosystem? Ryan and Carlos discuss that and more, including the continuing decline of optical media, the future of movie theaters and new release movies, how big a role technology should play in a car buying decision, Windows 10 upgrade eligibility, iPad Pro and stylus rumors, improvement in the iOS upgrade process, and Fracture.

It’s simple. After discussing LeBron James’s self-aggrandizing press conference and the Warriors winning the NBA title, Ryan and Carlos discuss Apple Music, using Reminders in iOS, various E3 topics (the Xbox One Elite Controller and backwards compatibility, Microsoft’s and Sony’s press conferences, how much graphical improvements matter in games, the Oculus Rift, and Hololens), the challenge with archiving and sharing podcasts, Ryan’s new car plans, and Samsung’s 6>6 marketing campaign.

Where else on the internet can you go for a discussion of Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Bites Crust Pizza and a comprehensive recap of WWDC? Tune in for this and more on the latest episode of Technically Correct.

With WWDC less than a week away, Ryan and Carlos discuss the latest rumors. Other topics include their iOS 9 wish list, Apple Watch (defending positive reviews, the utility of third party apps, and the compelling nature of the activity tracker), SYNC 3 on the 2016 Ford Escape, whether the quality of digital music makes a difference, and how to get started with Omnifocus.

This week’s show is big there isn’t any room for a witty summary. Topics include big egos in professional sports, kids at the podium after games, WWDC speculation, customization on iOS vs. Android, iPad software and hardware rumors, the demise of Gene Munster’s Apple TV, Marco Arment’s review of the new Macbook, Apple prioritizing thinness over functionality, iMessages on OS X, digital crown behavior on Apple Watch, updates to the 15” Macbook Pro and 5K iMac, picks and tips of the week, and the last episode of Mad Men.

After talking about their favorite regional sports advertisers, ice cream flavors, and chip varieties, Ryan and Carlos discuss Bill Simmons leaving ESPN, Uber driver compensation, their impressions of Apple Watch after a week of use, and the rumored relaunch of Beats.

Two words. Apple Watch. Ryan and Carlos both have theirs in this week’s episode, and there’s lots to talk about.

In another dramatic plot twist, Carlos reveals to Ryan that he pre-ordered and received an Apple Watch. Other topics include how much they would pay to have dinner with Steve Ballmer, Coin, UberEATs, and favorite food items from Trader Joes.
