Waiting For Review

A slight drama this week, where Dave Wood gets hit by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake as we discuss Dave Nott's new toaster, how retail is pivoting in today's environment, and of course, the massive leak / rumor of the upcoming AR glasses.

The 13" MacBook Pro serves to confuse us, more so when we consider the recent MacBook Air refresh. Are these machines the last of their kind? Will this year be the year we get "the talk" from Apple at WWDC about an ARM transition?

We discuss what that could look like, and how things might shake out.

Dave Nott mulls a mesh wifi network to improve his home connectivity. Meanwhile, Dave Wood has pushed a big button to leave behind a web host he's used for years, and taken his sites to Linode.

Dave Nott faces a sudden lack of motivation to work on iOS side projects. We discuss how the current climate may be having an impact, and what can be done to rebuild motivation when it vanishes.

After a bumpy start, Dave Nott has his new iPad. One problem, he doesn't really know what to do with it...

How we identify and avoid getting sucked into time sinks and rabbit holes. A timely episode as this week, Dave Nott has managed to (almost) dodge one while designing his new iOS app.

Special Guest: Monty.

Dave Nott has taken an iOS dev hiatus these last few weeks, whilst completing a Raspberry Pi based Arcade Machine.

He's had time to consider his motivations for making apps at all and wonders what will become of his next iOS app once it's complete. Set up an indie-ios-shop again, or keep it as a portfolio piece to land a jobby-job?

Special Guest: Monty.

We’ve started diving deeper into our on demand tv services. We discuss our respective experiences of Apple TV and the news of tighter integration of Amazon’s Prime video to the platform.

With both of us in lockdown on our respective sides of the globe, we discuss how we're adjusting, keeping up with our development projects and think about what lasting good could potentially come from this terribly sad situation.

We hope you're all staying safe and well. With everything going on right now, we decided to take some comfort in the shiney new Apple toys that landed recently, and to indulge ourselves in the details of it all.
