Two guys who like to talk tech and ramble about anything but mostly technology related. We love hearing from listeners about new episodes or those who want to hear our opinions. We want to create an engaged community where people interact, get to know us, and help us improve the podcast! We aim to post at least one episode weekly but when feeling rambunctious we will crank it to two-three!
In this episode, we discuss the potential rumors of the Apple March event. Potential colors schemes with the rumors of new iMacs and the final send off of the iMac Pro. We consider what might be coming down the pipeline as the new M1 chips should make an appearance in the iMac lineup.
We also take a look at productivity in the MacBook and iPad line and our thoughts surrounding the use of a dedicated machine. We both agree that bigger is better in iPad land but 13” seems to be the sweet spot for laptops with the knee test.
We finish up discussing what needs to be fixed with Apple TV hardware as the most recent iteration is almost 3 years old with no updates, and losing app support from major streaming services but continues to have a spot at WWDC regarding new features almost every year. Not right in our books.
As always, be sure to follow, like, and let us know your thoughts!

The Old Grey iMac, She Ain't What She Used To Be
This week we ramble on about Nintendo and upcoming games we are expecting down the road. We are hopeful that Mario Golf Super Rush is not a let down as other Mario titles have not measured up in the last few iterations namely Mario Tennis, Super Mario Party, and Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
In the second half, we talk about the potential color scheme of new iMacs coming down the line and how this might make home computing fun again just as with the original iMac.
The influence of Apple Express stores might contribute to the increased SKU count for the new colors in terms of storage and distribution plans.
Premium Audio streaming has its ups and downs and Dakota and Chris are both skeptical on its real world use as music streaming is already compressed in its current state.

The One Where Auto Play Does Not Work
This week Chris and Dakota discuss content on Apple TV+. We also discuss NBC's streaming service Peacock. Chris has some complaints and Dakota does not think he can justify the price but is working though the ad version. Speaking of price justification, Apple Arcade is the final topic. Chris and Dakota both agree that this service could have been so much more if it was released in when the App Store made the Freemium transition. This would have been a game changer. Instead, it is a arguably weak service in our opinion and does not have a place as a standalone service in 2021.
