28. Bring back the touchbar

Our first podcast of the year is here, and boy, has it been worth the wait! It has been a mighty busy old time over the past few days.   Alex and I give our thoughts on the slew of new MacBook Pros, and the Mac mini, and even the brand new HomePod. We cover rumours about the release of the AR/VR headset, and the stories about touchable Macs. Its all here.    Grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy!   Alex on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexGTech The Tube Life Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-tube-life-podcast/id1595881790 Alex on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexGTech1 Alex Reaction video: https://youtu.be/jMkBk5L6RxM Mac Pro video: https://youtu.be/QZ4r-EgEx3s   READ ME I publish weekly on Medium and you can find my blogs here https://medium.com/@Davidtalkingtech/membership   READ ALEX https://medium.com/@alexgearandtech   GET IN TOUCH  [email protected]   CATCH ME ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/Dtalkingtech   00:00 Intro 01:15 The missing event 03:30 Who are the new Macs for? 10:15 M1 vs. M2 - the benefits and the M2 MacBook Air 19:30 New HomePod 25:00 15” MacBook Air rumours & touchscreen Macs 29:00 Apple Headset & glasses latest 34:35 Apple Books and AI 40:00 The YouTube algorithm & getting clickbaity 42:00 What’s left for the rest of the year - Mac Pro? 45:00 Samsung Unpacked 55:00 Periscope lens, and Titanium iPhone 15 57:30 Wrapping up
