Jun 28, 2017

Roman and Glenn reminisce over the iPhone's introduction 10 years ago, and discuss Roman's review of the new iMac. We also advise not installing iOS 11's public beta quite yet—for most people—and look at Virgin Mobile's iPhone-only plan, as well as go googly eyes over augmented reality examples with ARKit. Finally, we're heading out on hiatus for retooling, and Glenn says, "Thank you, everyone, and see you on the interwebs!"

Jun 21, 2017

A potpourri of news this week, from Tim Cook urging that schools teach coding to every student, Scott Forstall's interview about the creation of the iPhone, and new iOS 11 features, including object recognition and augmented reality (AR), that will bump up camera and other third-party apps' capabilities. Roman also critiques the new MacBook Pro models, which have a lot to offer.

Jun 14, 2017

Apple confirms its working on autonomous automobiles, but is it making a car or a component? Roman and Glenn discuss Apple's new podcast analytics, and then go through the large number of improvements scheduled for iOS 11, announced last week at WWDC. It's going to feel like a very different system—for the better.

Jun 7, 2017

Apple unloaded a pile of information at its WWDC keynote this week: the long-awaited and awkwardly named HomePod, a new iPad Pro model, upgraded Mac laptops and iMacs, and details about three of its four OSes—tvOS didn't get much love. Roman and Glenn focus on the bigger picture of this packed keynote and go in depth on the HomePod, as well as a brief discussion of Macs and macOS. Next week, we dig into the iPad Pro and iOS, and everything else learned at WWDC.

May 31, 2017

Apple has four OSes and we should hear about them all at the Worldwide Developers Conference starting next week. Roman and Glenn preview their fervent wishes, especially about the underdeveloped Apple TV and tvOS. They also talk about the Galaxy S8 camera compared to the iPhone 7s, Google Photos versus iCloud Photo Library, and how Thunderbolt 3 won the interface war.

May 24, 2017

Could a non-invasive wearable blood-glucose monitor that links to an Apple Watch help change people's lives and lead to better avoidance of diabetes onset? Roman and Glenn discuss this, along with the potential of new laptops at WWDC, Today at Apple, and the odd introduction of an Android switcher campaign when new phones are just a few months away.

May 17, 2017

Apple invests $200 million into Corning for advanced glass manufacture in the U.S., WannaCrypt hit Windows users (but also could affect Macs with Boot Camp or virtual machines), and Siri gets crowded by Alexa and Google Assistant. Susie and Glenn talk that plus research showing an Apple Watch can detect irregular heartbeats 97 percent as well as dedicated medical equipment.

May 10, 2017

Apple could spend a billion dollars on break room snacks and not feel a pinch, but the company is instead digging deep to seed an investment fund for advanced U.S. manufacturing. Which is pretty tasty too.

May 4, 2017

Glenn and Susie discuss how a focus on improving Siri could benefit all of Apple's platforms, and help them blend together better too.

Apr 26, 2017

Uber got in some hot water with Apple, but it was all handled behind the scenes, while Glenn thinks that users should have been alerted.

Apr 19, 2017

We're going to be sick of the next iPhone before it's even formally announced, aren't we? Well, there's always the parlor game of trying to figure out how the Mac Pro lost its way. Join us, won't you?

Apr 12, 2017

If preferring the new iPad to the iPad Pro makes Susie an amateur, she can live with that.

Apr 5, 2017

If you're a Mac pro who needs a Mac Pro, Apple has good news and bad news.

Mar 29, 2017

Apple releases iOS 10.3, a major and minor release, which adds a lot of little features, and macOS 10.12.4, which brings Night Shift to the Mac. Glenn Fleishman and Leah Yamshon talk about new features, follow-up security and conflict minerals stories, and explain how an iCloud breach is almost certainly not that on this week’s episode.

Mar 22, 2017

Apple announced a new, cheaper iPad, as well as a red iPhone 7 and more. That Clips app sounds cool too, like a crossover between Vine and Snapchat.

Mar 15, 2017

A great article by David Pogue has us thinking about accessibility, and the iPad rumors won't quit.

Mar 8, 2017

WikiLeaks says that the CIA can crack pretty much anything, and that's not the only security-related story to talk about.

Mar 1, 2017

Look, getting rid of Lightning for USB-C in the next iPhone just makes sense, even though the timing is awkward. And Glenn knows an astonishing amount of useful information about surge protectors.

Feb 22, 2017

Apple's developers conference is moving back to San Jose, but before that happens, we might see a March event with new iPads and even a red iPhone.

Jan 18, 2017

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the world with an electronic device right now who isn't concerned about a combination of criminal, troll, and overreaching government trying to crack their security and vacuum up their data. For some practical advice, host Glenn Fleishman is joined by Jonathan Zdziarski, an iPhone forensics expert with extensive experience working with law enforcement, who is also the developer of the file-access-monitoring app, Little Flocker.

Jan 11, 2017

Susie and Glenn reminisce about the very first iPhone, geek out over new iPad rumors, and revisit the weirdest Consumer Reports review ever.

Jan 4, 2017

It's 2017, and we're happy to be alive...but. Troubling news abounds with weird MacBook Pro battery tests, underwhelming Apple Watch rumors, and a lot of concern over whether Apple's losing its touch.

Dec 21, 2016

The AirPods work like a charm, but unfortunately, highlight the divide between first- and third-party apps. Tim Cook says Apple still loves the Mac but a Bloomberg report tells another story. And Apple owns the smartwatch category, but is it enough of a category?

Dec 14, 2016

AirPods are finally out, Apple is pulling the battery-remaining estimate from macOS 10.12.2, the new emoji are uncannily beautiful, and the I'm a Mac ads are 10 years old.

A convenience store where you just walk in and take things sounds pretty futuristic and cool—unless you're already sick of being watched the entire time you shop.

Nov 10, 2016

Nov 3, 2016

This week, Glenn and Susie discuss their hopes and dreams for the new TV app coming to the Apple TV and iOS this December, plus more thoughts on the new MacBook Pros.

Oct 28, 2016

Glenn and Roman talk about the MacBook Pro--is it enough to satisfy professional Mac users, former MacBook Air owners, and most importantly, you?

Oct 19, 2016

Reports that Apple is refocusing Project Titan on software rather than a car have us wondering. Maybe the key to everything is AI and augmented reality.

Oct 15, 2016

While we wait forever for new Macs, Apple is headed to the Supreme Court. The FBI needs to crack more iPhones, but at least none of them have caught on fire yet, unlike some other phones we could mention.

Oct 7, 2016

Glenn and Kirk talk about iTunes and Apple Music, then Glenn and Susie heap praise upon the iPhone 7 Plus and its dual-lens wonder camera.

Sep 29, 2016

The iPhone 7 Plus is charming Glenn and Susie, but they have some issues with how Photos treats all the beautiful images the phone's dual camera setup takes.

Sep 21, 2016

macOS Sierra has hit the scene, so Glenn and Susie take a break from talking about the iPhone and iOS 10 for an hour to talk about it.

Apple unleashed details about the Series 2 Watch, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, iOS 10 and watchOS 3’s shipping date, and…iWork real-time collaboration. John Moltz joins Glenn Fleishman to discuss.

Jul 13, 2016

Glenn and Susie talk about the iOS 10 beta, macOS Sierra beta, new Mac malware, and whaaaaat is the deal with Pokémon Go.

Jul 6, 2016

Susie and Caitlin have a lot of feelings about the loss of Paper, which has been like rocks and scissors to our souls.

What's up with the headphone jack obsession with the upcoming iPhone 7 models? Also: iPhone 7 rumors, the end of Apple's sales of the Thunderbolt Display, whether new AirPort base stations are coming, and more.

Jun 22, 2016

We're back for more followup from Apple's WWDC keynote and all the cool software that will come out in the next few months.

Jun 15, 2016

Glenn and Susie are joined by Macworld Staff Writer Caitlin McGarry to unpack all of Apple's WWDC 2016 keynote announcements. Or most of them, anyway!

Jun 8, 2016

Glenn and Susie handicap the WWDC rumors, hope for some fun surprises, and praise the Apple TV for coming so far since launch.

Jun 1, 2016

It's a smorgasbord of topics as we head into WWDC, from ticks and tocks to crowdfunding to cancer rats. But the thing we're most excited about is the rumored demise of the 16GB iPhone.

May 25, 2016

Google I/O is over, and WWDC is about to happen—it's the perfect time to compare Google's approach to Apple's, and wonder what will happen if we move from a mobile-first world to an AI-first one.

May 18, 2016

Glenn and Susie are joined by The iTunes Guy, Kirk McElhearn, for a rousing discussion on why iTunes gives us so much trouble, as well as whether Apple Pay really is faster than those poky chip-and-sign readers.

May 11, 2016

Apple Music doesn't just delete files willy-nilly, but it's way too easy to delete them by mistake—and if Connect goes away, will anyone notice?

May 4, 2016

While Susie Ochs is off on assignment in the fens around Boston, regular host Glenn Fleishman is joined by frequent Macworld contributor John Moltz, who also writes at his Web site, Very Nice Web Site, and co-hosts The Rebound tech podcast and [Turning This Car Around dadcast. Glenn and John talk about the last week's reception to Apple's earnings, walk through Tim Cook's appearance on Jim Cramer's show, and explain that the company is doomed. Doomed, we tells ya! Or, more accurately, how Apple is navigating the aftermath of one great year while growth tapers and the Chinese economy shudders. John has an iPhone SE and he loves it. Courts can order you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, so perhaps you need to re-consider Touch ID. And Dish Networks will come to your house and fix your iPhone—you might even want this!

Apr 27, 2016

Glenn and Susie discuss Macworld's review of the new MacBook, people dissing the Apple Watch on its anniversary, the missing iPhone SE, and if Apple's services can save it.

Apr 20, 2016

Well, "newish" MacBooks anyway. They still only have one port, and it's USB-C, not Thunderbolt 3. But the battery life is improved, the chipset is faster, and Glenn is still satisfied with his first-gen MacBook after a year of heavy use.

Apr 13, 2016

As Glenn and Susie were recording this week, the news broke that TextExpander was responding to feedback by lowering the subscription price for existing users. Unfortunately, that's not our only problem with the service.

Apr 6, 2016

This week, Glenn interviews three people in vastly different professions who have brought the 12-inch iPad Pro into their work lives in a big way.

Apr 1, 2016

Sorry for the delay on getting this podcast to you. Glenn and Susie have a lot to say, and a few things cropped up at the last minute. Anyway, here we go.

Mar 30, 2016

What. Just. Happened. Security expert Jonathan Zdziarski helps us unpack the FBI's sudden 180 in the San Bernardino case. How did they get into the phone? Will they tell Apple? Is this even over? Oh, and Susie got the iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro too.

Mar 23, 2016

The Macworld podcast celebrates its 500th episode! 11 years ago, this podcast started humbly as an experiment by a Macworld intern turned staffer recorded partly in a conference room with a nerdy guest.

Mar 16, 2016

Aside from our regular discussion of the FBI kerfuffle and this week's side trip to Austin for SXSW Interactive, we wonder about how the rumored 4-inch iPhone will fit into Apple's world.

Mar 9, 2016

Nothing, it's not a real thing. Really.

Mar 2, 2016

Glenn and Susie are back on the FBI's case, discussing the All Writs Act, whether software is speech, and more. Plus, we have big hopes for the smaller iPhone SE.

Feb 24, 2016

Glenn and Susie are joined by Rich Mogull, and everyone is angry.

Feb 17, 2016

Don't set your iPhone to before 1970, don't update your Creative Cloud, and don't expect Apple executives to openly admit iTunes is awful.

Feb 10, 2016

Humans need more than a two-digit number when their iPhones go completely dead.

Feb 3, 2016

To some people, it doesn't matter how many millions of something Apple can sell, or how happy the customers are with them. It's only growth, and that's too bad, because it seems like Apple is working on some great stuff.

Jan 27, 2016

Security researcher Rich Mogull joins us to talk about security when traveling to countries where you might have a very good reason to be paranoid.

Jan 13, 2016

It's a grab-bag week of topics, from where we read news on our phones to how CES provides a glimpse into Apple's future products.

Jan 6, 2016

Magnets? How do they work? Also, the latest security-reporting follies, more Apple TV thoughts, and bringing civility to commenting.

Dec 23, 2015

It's our last podcast of 2015, and we've got some Festivus grievances to air, as well as a few requests for the year to come.

Dec 16, 2015

Apple Music meets its #squadgoals, MacKeeper is hacked, and we gush about an app every TV and movie junkie must have.

Dec 9, 2015

Holiday shopping can be stressful, but we've got great gift ideas and some helpful tips too.

Dec 2, 2015

Oct 21, 2015

This week we have a grab bag of topics, from Apple's new Magic accessories (or "meh-gic" if you're unimpressed) to updated iWork and Yahoo Mail ditching passwords.

Oct 14, 2015

Laugh all you want, but buying an iPhone this year is so much harder than it used to be. Dan Frakes from the Wirecutter stops by to share his insight. We also discuss the new movie Steve Jobs with Macworld staff writers Caitlin McGarry and Oscar Raymundo.

Oct 7, 2015

Glenn sold his Apple Watch, and Susie bought a new iPhone. Time to talk about what a weird process that's becoming. Elsewhere, Amazon and Microsoft mess up, and content blocking gets messy.
