Hello everyone in the podcast world, I’ve left a review before. This is an updated review. I have several questions and concerns. Maybe you guys can help discuss on your podcast.
The first thing is updates to the home and their new lineup of accessories. Where is HomeKit in all this? As of right now homekit is below par to say nicely! IT has been for years. Just like Siri get that working like it should before all these hardware updates. Is HomeKit going away now because of HomeView? If so... more
Wes, when William starts to speak, stop talking, that’s how a conversation works. I decided to give this podcast another chance, but I can’t listen to the Wes rambles on excessively and has no respect for William show.
I’m a kid who really loves Apple, and I listen to this podcast every week. It's fun and engaging, and very intersesting to hear the two hosts' opinions. they are both extremely kowledgeable and clearly have a deep understanding of the things they talk about. I listen every week to Power On with Mark Gurman, 9to5Mac Daily, 9to5Mac Happy Hour, Waveform, The Macrumors Show, and this podcast, and this one is by far the best.
I listen to this show every week, and both hosts do an incredible job breaking down information in a way that’s easy to understand. The content is always timely and relevant, and I really enjoy the chemistry between the hosts. They complement each other perfectly and strike a great balance between useful information and entertaining banter. Keep up the great work! I teach technology to a mature audience, and I can genuinely relate to and appreciate both hosts and the way they make tech approacha... more
Thank you Wesley and William, it’s a pleasure to listen to both of you each week and I love the variety of topics especially in the plus portion. Only nitpick, I thought the AirPods 5 details deserved more of a mention.
Update: thank you for addressing my nitpick on the show! This is a fantastic podcast.

Two longtime hosts deliver in-depth, opinionated discussions on Apple-focused news, rumors, and ecosystem dynamics, often pairing technical analysis with practical tips for users and developers. Episodes routinely cover product cadence, AI features, pricing, financing, and regulatory angles, with lively banter and strong viewpoints that appeal to listeners who want context beyond headlines. A standout trait is the balance between speculative rumors and concrete hardware/software updates, plus occasional deep dives into OS features and services, all delivered in a conversational, accessible style that rewards regular listening.
