The Mac & Forth Show

WWDC is almost here so Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl list some of the things they hope to see get announced on Monday before turning their attention to the week’s Apple-related news. Karl has continued to work on his video shed (Shederton Studios), but all is not going well. Facebook still doesn’t like Apple’s privacy policy. HomePods vanish from US Apple stores and rumours are abound. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

After their short holiday Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl turn their attention to the week's Apple-related news. Another round of updates dropped. Apple Music got a little more complicated. The Epic v Apple trial is over, now we await the judgement. Dean shares his thoughts on his new purchases and Woz is in a spot of bother. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Has it been a week already? Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl are back to look over the weeks Apple-related news. The guys wonder why the M1 iPad is so powerful? Looks like US users are opting out of tracking in their droves. Apple is facing another App Store lawsuits, this time in the UK. Matter wants to make smart-home devices smarter and AirTags have been providing some fun to researchers. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

The quartet of Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to peruse the week’s Apple-related news. Another series of updates hit our favourite devices. Facebook asks us not to disable tracking in their immutable way. The AirTag’s get subjected to all kinds of stories. Fortnight and Apple battle it out. The EU charged Apple and that Night Shift mode might be bunkum, who knew? All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Another week has passed so Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl assemble once more to peruse the week’s Apple-related news. iOS 14.5 was finally released and brings several new features, some big, some small, to our favourite devices. Updates for the macOS, WatchOS, tvOS, HomePodOS and AirPods also dropped. Apple’s App Tracking Transparency is also in effect but will it change users habits? Apple could be in trouble with the EU, again and a man sues Apple for the ‘Buy’ button. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

At last Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl have some real Apple news to dissect and discuss. Firstly we have the tantalising review of the £16 AirPod knock-offs Dean recently purchased. This is followed by the packed announcements from the Spring Loaded presentation. AirTags (finally), M1 iMacs, M1 iPads, A new Apple TV with a new remote, Podcast subscriptions, a Purple iPhone and, most importantly, the release date for the second season of Ted Lasso. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Once again Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to look over the week’s Apple-related news. FINALLY, Apple has announced their next event. What are we hoping to see? Plus iMessage, is it a lock-in for Apple users, Epic think it is? All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Following our short break Alan, Steve and Karl return to look over the week’s Apple-related news. Apple announced the date for WWDC 2021 but still no dates for any imminent events. Apple Arcade gets a big catalogue boost. ‘Find My’ gets an update allowing third-party devices. Mythic Quest set to return with another bonus episode and someone was brave enough to update their storage and RAM on an M1 MacBook. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

This week Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl are back to discuss the week's Apple-related news. Everyone’s favourite Apple TV+ show just can’t stop winning awards. After slating Apple’s M1 Macs they still want their business. Your HomePod Mini has a secret inside. Those butterfly keyboards might end up costing Apple more than just their reputation and the latest betas might offer some insight into Apple’s future hardware plans. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Time for Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl to assemble once again to look over the week’s Apple-related news. The HomePod has been discontinued much to the surprise of some of the panel. Look’s like Apple isn’t ready to give us a March event after all, despite what the rumours said. ‘I’m a Mac’ actor gets another gig. iPhone loyalty hits an all-time high and even tech employees think the tech giants have too much power. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.
