There are three missions bound for Mars launching this month, and Jason walks through them each. Then, Stephen gives a NASA budget update and the two get into some space law … and guidelines.
My thanks to our sponsors:
The market for note taking applications is huge. There are options that just deal in plain-text, apps that serve as “everything buckets,” and still others focused on automation. This week, David and Stephen cover some of the better options out there and share how they keep up with various bits of digital information in their lives.
My thanks to our sponsors:
With WWDC in the rearview mirror, Stephen and Myke shift their minds to the future and discuss rumors of the upcoming iPhone 12, changes coming with Apple Silicon Macs and macOS Big Sur.
On Connected Pro, we spoke about my 5th “indie anniversary,” a gift Myke was recently given, Twitter ads and more.
My thanks to our sponsors:
Today, David Sparks and I are thrilled to introduce More Power Users, a special dedicated feed for MPU members that includes ad-free episodes, as well as regular bonus segments, more focused on news or current happening in the Apple community. This is something we don’t get to do very often on MPU, and we’re excited to have this conversations together.
(For example, this week after our interview with David Smith, we talked for a while about the possibility of touchscreens coming to Macs.)
This week’s episode of Connected is a special one:
The guys talk with Jenny Chen, an Apple engineer who works on Apple Pencil software, and Stephen Tonna from Apple’s product marketing team about what’s new in iPad OS 14, including Scribble and the release’s updated design language. Then, Federico, Myke and Stephen discuss the future of both Apple Arcade and iPhone chargers.
I really enjoyed getting to chat with Jenny and Stephen. iPadOS 14 is seriously cool.
This week on Ungeniused: a PSA from me (and a begrudging Myke) about how the Winter Olympics are the coolest games in town.
It’s beta season, and David and Stephen have reported for duty with reports of new features and general thoughts on macOS Big Sur, iOS and iPadOS 14 as well as watchOS 7. Plus, a brief announcement about something coming in July.
Don’t be like David.
My thanks to our sponsors this week:
I chatted with my buddy Tyler Stalman the other night about all the changes coming for the Mac that were announced at WWDC. It was a fun conversation about the tool at the center of many professional workflows.
This week on a hectic episode of Connected:
WWDC 2020 is underway, so the time has come to judge The Rickies. After a new Chairman is crowned, the guys do a high-level pass on Apple’s OS announcements, as well as what’s new with Shortcuts.
It’s going to be a busy summer.
My thanks to our sponsors:
As well as our members, who can enjoy an ad-free, extra-long version of the show.
Recorded just a few hours after the WWDC keynote, Stephen and David share their reactions to iOS 14, macOS Big Sur, and the Mac’s transition to Apple-designed processors.
There’s so much to think about this year, but it was good to spend some time with David sorting through some of it.
My thanks to our sponsors this time:
This time on Flashback, with my buddy Quinn Nelson:
The smartwatch movement didn’t start with Apple or Google, but a little company named Pebble. Through a series of hugely successful Kickstarters, the company put out several well-reviewed products before being steamrolled by the platform-makers.
This concludes the first season of the show, but we’ll back in the fall, so stay subscribed to the feed! If you haven’t ever checked Flashback, the summer will be a great time to catch up one some real heart-breaking tech stories.
This time on a jam-packed episode of the show:
WWDC is next week, so it’s time for the boys’ annual picks. Will Stephen keep his title? Has Federico put too much hope in iPadOS improvements? Has Myke learned what it takes to be a winner? This and more, including the introduction of Connected Pro for Relay FM members.
What is Connected Pro you ask? It’s a new ad-free version of the show with pre- and post-show sections left in. This week, Federico attacks a clock and Myke asks about TikTok. Also, Jason won’t say “I love you” back. You can join at relay.fm/connected.
