Greg joins the show for the third time, where we talk about his experiences with his new 12.9″iPad Pro these last couple of months, alongside looking to where the device can fit into a ‘Marzipan‘ world.
It’s always a good chat when Greg is around, and the same occurs here, where we talk about some great points we’d like to see from iOS for iPad, from the minimal to the glaringly obvious.
And just what does ‘A refreshed home screen‘ mean? We try to decipher it.
Siri Shortcuts had its beginnings as ‘Workflow‘, before being acquired by Apple last year in March. It lets you create workflows by commands and different apps, and you can also activate them from Siri itself. Up until its release, I wasn’t convinced. After its release, I was, and I’ve been wanting to learn more about it ever since.
Which is why this week I’m joined by an ex-Workflow member and now freelancer, Matt Cassinelli, where we talk about how Siri Shortcuts fits on his iPad, our wishes for Version 3.0, alongside him trying to convince me to pre-order an iPhone XR.
He also completely destroys a feature that has been a staple of the show for the last few months!
Nothing breaks the ice better than the Spice Girls.
Carrie has been a freelance writer for the last twenty years, where her first byline was .net in 1998, and since its gone to magazines, sites, and has even written a book. She is also a regular host on a variety of shows on BBC Radio Scotland as the ‘tech guru’.
This was recorded at the end of August, and so we talk about my first steps into my now-current freelance career, where Carrie gives her stories about taking her steps into the field twenty years ago, with a lot of great advice given.
We also go into our thoughts about the Apple of 2018, alongside iOS 12 and much more.
But first of all, a quick update on things since this episode was recorded, and a thank you.
Jim Dalrymple has been a writer of Apple since 1994. He is the Editor-in-Chief of The Loop; a site of all things Apple, an insight into tech in general, and music.
We had a great chat that spanned from how his ‘Loop Bash‘ at WWDC week went this year, alongside our history with Apple, the Mac, and a pit stop to talk about The Loop Magazine.
We then went into Jim’s history with iPad and how he uses it, alongside how the Apple Watch has benefited him so much.
Jeff is someone I’ve only come across in the last couple of months, but already him and his co-host of their ‘Slab of Glass’ podcast have made it something you should be listening to.
Hence why Jeff is on this weeks episode!
We go into detail of our workflow with our iPads, alongside our love for keyboards, and where we see iPads fitting in a Marzipan, FaceID world.
