ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 297: IPADS AND OTHER THINGS

Another week, another show, and Simon and Nick consider do iPad Pros need to do
more? Should Apple perhaps differentiate the Pros with their own OS? Also Apple
announce a slew of new accessibility features, and are sorry that the “Crush” ad
upset some people…

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 296: YEAH – M4 BABY!

So Apple had an event… and unsurprisingly it was about iPads, and how! Also the
rumoured M4 arrived (in a bit of a change of habit for Apple and how they
usually do these things). Nick and Simon take a look at what was what, and have
their tuppence worth of say (that’s 2c to those of you who don’t understand “old
money” LSD, that’s Pounds, Shillings and Pence people, not an hallucinogenic).

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 294: NEW IPADS INCOMING?

to do with Apple and the news stories when this was recorded…

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 293: WHERE GOES A.I.?

After a bit of a cock up last week which was completely Simon’s fault (and he’s
very very sorry about it) Simon does a solo show because Nick is otherwise
engaged… Simon has thoughts on AI after more adventures with generative tools,
fun tunes from Suno, some with lyrics by Simon, Copilot generated images (some
with AI weirdness) and a whip around some of the news stories…

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 290: SPATS, HACKS & A.I.

On the show this time, Nick got hacked! Apple and Epic get into another spat, in
which they both came off looking stupid, and childish… Simon and Nick have been
playing with A.I. image tools. Apple made modifications to its new EU rules, a
man has recovered over 200 Apple Watches from lakes in Illinois and Donny is
disappointed in his Zagg pencils for iPads, and of course some other stuff too!

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 289: SO LONG APPLE CAR… WE NEVER KNEW YOU AT ALL!

This week Simon has a new microphone so hopefully the sound will be a little
better. Meanwhile apparently the “Titan has Fallen”, the Apple car project is
“officially” dead, Vision Pro returns are no worse than any other Apple product,
there is new Post Quantum crytographic protection coming for iMessage, and more!
Simon and Nick set to and try to make sense of it all…

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 288: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE

This week Simon and Nick consider Steve’s birthday and, sadly, two years of war
in the Ukraine, plus Post Quantum Cryptography, Apple’s first folding device,
some Apple TV+, and an Apple Ring?
Apologies if the sound is still a little below par, Simon’s new mic didn’t
arrive in time for this recording, but hopefully all will be well by the next
show.

ESSENTIAL APPLE PODCAST 287: SMALL, NOT FAR AWAY…

Late yet again! However, this time Nick and Simon talk about the DMA (again),
the Vision Pro (again), Peleton backpedalling, and look at the award-winning,
world’s smallest humanoid robot ironically reported on by Giant Freakin Robot!
Also Simon’s microphone failed suddenly and unexpectedly with no apparent cause
just before the show… so sound quality isn’t quite as good as normal – sorry.
