Intel do seem to like bashing Apple rather than talking about the benefits of their own product. In this episode, we discuss Intel’s “Breaking the Spell” video. Do they have any valid points? Are those really Apple fans in the video?

In this podcast episode we preview the Apple Mac event, which is widely expected to be the 12th October 2021 (at time of publishing). We're expecting new MacBook Pro 14" and MacBook Pro 16" models: what new features are we hoping for, and what are we expecting Apple to deliver. How much will these new models cost?

The Mac Event discussion begins at 19m 37s.

We're back from our break and talking about the new iPhone 13 Pro Max - specifically its cinematography features. There's a look a the new iPad Mini, complete with jelly scrolling, and we eat some humble pie when it comes to Apple Watch bands failing.

Do you remember when we used to get nice unexpected surprises at Apple Events...? Pete does, because he is old. In this episode we consider that question, look at some interesting tech news, and of course there's the Rumour Mill.

In this episode we round up the week's tech news and rumours, including satellite messaging on the iPhone 13 and the new Apple Watch 7.

Our main topics are: Intel's new Arc GPUs - will it bring competition for AMD and nVidia? and; we look at claims SSD manufacturers are switching cheaper components onto their drives once they've had favourable performance reviews.

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been looking into nVidia's proposed $40 billion acquisition of chip designer ARM. We discuss this and other tech news (including the Tesla Robot and some Apple rumours) in this week's podcast.

Apple's announcement that it will scan images on iPhones for matches with known child abuse images has been pretty polarising. Many view this is a fantastic step, and many think that it sets precedents for privacy issues. In this episode we discuss the issue from various angles and perspectives.

We also discuss vapourware and Pete tells some awful jokes...

In this episode we take a look at the forthcoming Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro featuring the new Google Tensor SoC - could it offer performance to beat Apple Silicon?

In this podcast we talk about the MacBook Pro 16", the new Steam Deck, and we consider some of the rumours about future Apple product releases.

In this episode we discuss what needs to happen in the PC hardware and software arena before PCs can compete on equal footing with Apple's M1 Macs (for power consumption, thermals, and all-round good performance). Will Qualcomm and Microsoft be able to work together to bring some competition to Apple Silicon?
