133: MacBook Pro 2018
12/07/2018 Duration: 08minThe new MacBooks Pro are here and I’m super excited about them, especially the new 15-inch model (which I promised to not even jokingly refer to as an iMacBook Pro!) I got to spend a couple of hours talking to real pro photographers, scientists, video editors, music producers, and developers who have been living on these new machines for a week or couple already. I got to see live demos, and hear all about if and how the new hardware had changed or improved their very demanding, very high profile workflows. Here’s what I learned!

132: What everyone got wrong about the App Store
10/07/2018 Duration: 10min10 years ago today, Apple launched the App Store, and it’s not hyperbole to say, since then, nothing has been the same. Not for apps, which went from being scarce, niche products to part of popular culture like movies and music. And not for app development, which went from being something only a relatively few people did to something available and accessible to almost everyone. But, there's been a lot of urban myth and misunderstandings about the origin and goals of the App Store, about how it got from where it was to where it is today, and about where it's going next. So, let's fix that! Sponsors: Go to Dashlane and use code YouTube2018 to get 10% off Dashlane Premium.

131: Why Apple is rebooting Maps
03/07/2018 Duration: 07minApple is hitting restart in Maps, starting this week in the California Bay Area. The new Maps will be better detailed, more accurate, more relevant, and eventually more feature rich. At least that's the promise... The data for the new Apple Maps is being collected in three primary ways: From high-resolution satellite imaging, from specially outfitted Apple Maps vans that have been driving international roadways for years already, and from the billion odd iPhones that all of us carry every day as we drive, ride, and walk our way through the world.

130: macOS Mojave: The DEEP DIVE!
29/06/2018 Duration: 28minmacOS Mojave has just gone into public beta. This is my preview, where I go over all the new features, how they're holding up, and how they fit into the bigger picture. There's a new Dark Mode, new dynamic desktop and stacks to keep it neat and tidy, a new Gallery Mode in finder with actions built into it and Quick View. FaceTime Group calls. There's a new Mac App Store and one of the biggest developments in the history of the Mac: UIKit (iOS Apps) on Mac. Yeah. All that and more! It's all part of a multi-year project intent on taking the decades-old UNIX and NextStep foundations and making them new and relevant again for modern, increasingly mobile and mainstream customers, while not leaving the creatives and pros behind.

123: WWDC 2018 Aftermath: The year of FINALLY and why!
09/06/2018 Duration: 13minFinally! That’s what I found myself almost yelling out — over and over again during WWDC 2018. It was one of those years where it felt like Apple worked its way down my wishlist, crossing things off one after the other. Better third-party Siri integration. Finally. CarPlay with Google Maps and Waze. Finally. Grouped Notifications. Finally. App limits for kids. Finally. Group FaceTime. Finally. Activity Challenges. Finally WebKit views on Watch. Finally. Podcast app and background audio for Watch. Finally. Dolby Atmos for Apple TV. Finally. Dark mode for Mac. Finally. Screen recording integrated with screenshots. Finally. News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home for Mac. Finally. Mac App Store redesign. Finally. It was the biggest finally fest since... I don’t know... iOS 4? But beyond the finally, there was a lot that happened that I think will either make lives better today or prove critical tomorrow. Here's what... and why!
