Episode 45: Apple Watch in 2020 with Ian Blackburn

Aug 19, 2020

Time out of mind.

Friend of the show Ian Blackburn returns to talk all things Apple Watch! WatchOS 7, Series 6 rumors, our thoughts on fitness and apps. The ZX Spectrum Next makes an appearance, and once again Apple’s app store policies are in the news, making for an interesting Fortnight (Fortnite?) in Mac. Plus, there’s new iMacs to discuss, and Phil Schiller’s transition to Apple Fellow. Stick around for all the details.

Originally recorded on August 15, 2020
