Watching this all in video format for once made up for the lack of the live show in Discord! ❤️ (though it’s weird to have to commit to a single coloured heart instead of :sixheart:!) And I love how you released the “Jason-cut” of the theme tune! 😄
I can’t think of any two guests more perfectly suited to this episode in different ways, and they both excelled 🤩 This was a triumph; I’m making a note here: huge success! 👏

Federico is the PERFECT guest for an episode like this. Love seeing him on video too, I always have to envision his voice on AppStories+. My fav upgrade episode in quite a while

I bought the iPad Pro 11 inch with the OLED display arrived on May 15 used it for 2 days then sent it back to Apple on the 17th and and here’s the reasons why.
I compared it side-by-side to my retina display 10.5 inch iPad Pro that is seven 7 years old purchased for $800 November 2017. I have perfect, 2020 vision, and after using both of them side-by-side for 2 days indoors and outside in bright sunlight, I could not tell any difference. In fact, I even looked at the box initially to make sure it was the OLED model. here is a few questions you experts should ask your Apple buddies next time you see them.
1: Why do all the iPads including the $1,800 model have the same exact 12 megapixel camera that I have in my 7 year old iPad ?
2: Why can’t you unlock any of the iPads with the Apple Watch like a MacBook?
3: How come no 120 Hz promotion in the new Apple Air iPads like my 7 year old 10.5 inch iPad Pro with the A10X Processor has?
4 : If you’re a cutting edge company like you claim, why did it take so long to finally add a row of function keys to the to the Magic Keyboard that the $139 logictech iPad keyboard case had 7 years ago? How come no edge protection like logictech has for the over $1000 iPad ?
5: You should have told the customers in your glossy advertising that the Apple Pencil works only on Bluetooth so the find me option is good for about 30 feet if it’s not under a cushion or with something else blocking the Signal.
6 : Why not 4 speakers on the iPad Air like my 7 year old iPad Pro has?
7 : Tell people the truth liquid retina is a marketing ploy all it means is round corners on the display.
8 : Finally why can’t the geniuses in California. focus on making an iPad native calculator as much as they do making gay watch bands, and wallpaper’s ? 🤷‍♂️
