Essential Apple Podcast 92: Is the AR Future Here Yet?

Well this week it has a bit of an odd one, quite a few stories but not much of any great import. Rogue Amoeba bemoaned the state of Mac hardware, while John Martellaro thinks the omens are good for new hardware soon. Developer Harley Turan showed us some AR that looked like the sort of real world use we’ve imagined. Apple closed down the lightning port to increase customer security while GrayShift claim to have already bypassed this defence (but then again they would wouldn’t they). Karl Madden (@Claw0101) from the Mac & Forth Show joins me and we discuss all of it and more.

The Kelly Guimont Show No. 2

It is REALLY late – we are sorry, but Mark is still suffering with his health and although I took over mid-week I had a lot of other things going on…
This week Apple officially killed the Airport products. Intel delayed their next chips (probably meaning a 32GB MacBook Pro isn’t on the cards yet)… Rumours abound about poor iPhone sales, the projected death of Touch 3D, AR/VR headsets and more.
Whether or not we will get to talk about any of that is anyone’s guess as we are joined for a second time by the delightfully piquant Kelly Guimont.
