I'm hoping we can move on from this MacBook Pro
Mac Address - S1 - E20
We're looking forward to the possibility that Apple's going to announce their brand new ARM powered 2021 MacBook Pro on Monday. There's a lot of the excitement, and we think it's due in part to what the outgoing MacBook Pro generation was missing. So let's look back at the last five years of MacBook to understand why we're so eagerly anticipating the new one.
Mac Address: Season 1 - 26 Episode s

April 16, 2021
Managing passwords is a royal pain. Apple has made it more convenient for their users to surf cross-platform, but is it enough?
1x2 - These were unexpected! - Apple's "Spring Loaded" Event
April 21, 2021
This wasn't exactly what we expected, but hey, it's a welcome addition! A new iMac, iPad Pro update, Air Tags, a splash of color, and more! We cover what was announced and a few of my thoughts.
1x3 - The dock that makes the iPad an iMac - Kensington StudioDock Review
April 28, 2021
We’ve seen the iPad evolve into something more computer-like over the years. But does it fit in the sort of place the Kensington StudioDock puts it in?
1x4 - Apple should make an actual Television
May 5, 2021
I always wonder why Apple never made an actual TV (not the streaming device), but if it did, what would it look like? I decided to take a shot and come up with something they would make.
1x5 - I left my backpack on the train - Apple AirTags Review
May 13, 2021
The point of Apple’s new AirTags is to help you find your lost items. So we set up the ultimate test, leaving an AirTagged backpack on public transport to see how easy it is to get it back.
1x6 - Why Touch-Screen MacBooks are a Bad Idea
May 20, 2021
People have been asking Apple to put a touchscreen on their Macs, but there might a very valid reason why they haven't done it. So we decided to make one ourselves and see how it goes.
1x7 - I love it - Apple iMac (2021) Review
June 2, 2021
When you only need a computer for basic day to day tasks it opens up an opportunity for a radically different design. And that’s what Apple has done with the new iMac, much to the affection of Jonathan.

June 24, 2021
The “Pro” in iPad Pro implies the device is designed for professionals. Now with the M1 chip and a bright Liquid Retina XDR display it certainly has the goods, but is it really ready for professionals?
1x11 - Have you ever dropped your phone into a lake?
July 10, 2021
I'm sure you've felt a pang of anxiety when holding your phone on a boat or dock; that when you drop it, it's over. But we discovered that there might be some hope. A Vancouver woman's iPhone was rescued 6 months after it plunged into Harrison Lake. All thanks to a local diver and improved ingress protection standards.
1x12 - Your AirPods Aren't Actually Broken
July 22, 2021
People don’t talk about this, but AirPods do attract and trap ear wax. The headphones are disposable enough, so we try to see if we can figure out a way to clean them out and give them new life.

August 17, 2021

This leads to many open questions about their vision for Pro products. Jonathan is excited but he hopes Apple keeps some traditional computer paradigms alive.
1x15 - Why do they make this so difficult?
August 28, 2021
If you have an Apple device you will have received the " your iCloud is full" notification if you're not paying for extra storage. It's really annoying, so we show you what's filling that small amount of space and how to organize it.

October 30, 2021

November 25, 2021
It’s very easy to be skeptical about the AirPods, and I was when Apple announced the third-generation models. But, all it took was to put them on to find out just what sets them apart from other headphones at the price. Because it's certainly a crowded market.
