Since the MacBook Pro was redesigned nearly two years ago, there have been concerns over the quality and dependability of the keyboards in those models. Apple addressed those concerns for the first time the other day. Listen for more info.

A recent blog post from software developer entitled “On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware has been making the rounds on social media. While it makes some valid pints it’s also rife with “sky is falling” melodrama. I push back in this week’s episode.

I just got back from a summer vacation and wanted to share exactly how I use Apple products and services to enhance my travel.

I’ve seen a few people mocking Apple’s emphatic “No! We’re not merging iOS and macOS.” I think some of the snark I’ve seen really misses the point Apple was trying to make and in this episode I share my thoughts on that.

Tim Cook and other Apple execs took the stage today to kick of Apple’s annual developer-focused conference and spent over two hours going over lots of new features coming later this year to iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. John Sherrod breaks down all of today’s most important announcements.

What will Apple announce next week at its annual WWDC event? I dive into that, plus some additional thoughts on my new AirPods and a couple of long awaited features that finally shipped this week in iOS 11.4.

As of today OS X had existed for the same length of time as the classic Mac OS did up until the release of OS X. John Sherrod reflects on that plus has some follow up about AirPods.

Which is right for you? I’ve owned both the AirPods and the BeatsX and have some thoughts on the pros and cons of each.

Ben Clymer of Hodinkee recently sat down with Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive to discuss Apple Watch. I talk about the article and my two big tale-always from it.

In this episode I look back at the introduction of the iMac, how it’s evolved over two decades, and how it’s largely responsible for the career I’ve had.
