There is so much to love about this new iMac. Apple today introduced an all-new iMac featuring a much more compact and remarkably thin design, enabled by the M1 chip. The new iMac also includes a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, … Continued

Apple on Tuesday sent out invites for a special event dubbed “Spring Loaded,” for April 20, 2021. As with all events in the past year, this one will be held online. You can watch the event on any Apple device from Apple’s web site or on your Apple TV. […]

This week Dave and I talk about how fake apps on the App Store scam users. Some people think Apple is ignoring the problem, but I’m willing to bet that there is a lot going on behind the scenes to fix it. We also discuss Tim Cook’s interview with Kara Swisher.

At the 27th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, actor Jason Sudeikis won a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for his leading role as the eponymous English soccer coach in Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso.”

Turns out, Ted Lasso is Apple’s premiere show. Who knew.

LG Electronics Inc. (LG) announced that it is closing its mobile business unit. The decision was approved by its board of directors earlier today.

LG’s strategic decision to exit the incredibly competitive mobile phone sector will enable the company to focus resources in growth areas such as electric vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services.

I really like LG as a company. I have several LG TVs and they make quality products, but the smartphone business is dominated by Apple and Samsung. It makes sense for LG to focus its efforts in places it can have a larger impact.

Apple today announced it is introducing two entirely new game categories and adding more than 30 incredible titles to Apple Arcade, its popular gaming subscription service for players of all ages. Apple Arcade offers breakthrough, unique benefits players love: no ads, no in-app purchases, support for Apple’s high user privacy standards, and one all-inclusive subscription offer with access for up to six family members. In addition to new exclusive Arcade Originals, including “NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition,” “Star Trek: Legends,” and “The Oregon Trail,” the service is introducing two new game categories, Timeless Classics and App Store Greats. Arcade Originals are playable across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Timeless Classics and App Store Greats are available on iPhone and iPad.

With the new categories Apple’s catalog now has 180 games for its users.

Dave bought a new car, so we talk about his first experience using CarPlay. Apple recently released new Siri voices that allows users to choose a wider variety of voices from around the world. There are more rumors about an a new Apple TV remote.

Apple, the University of South Carolina, and Benedict College announced a partnership on Tuesday that will see eight Apple computer labs built statewide. Funding for the project comes from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief, which awarded $6 million to the school.

Apple is clamping down on product security, a move the company hopes will stop leaks about its future products. A brother and sister stole millions of dollars of MacBooks from Stanford, and got caught, of course. A cool video takes us down memory lane with some old Apple products.

Apple discontinued the original HomePod this week. It’s a product I absolutely love and use every day, but I understand the move. Also, Intel debuted some new ads with Justin Long, who Apple used in its “I’m a Mac” ad campaign. These new ads aren’t nearly as good.

Apple today updated Apple Maps with COVID-19 vaccination locations from VaccineFinder, a free, online service developed by Boston Children’s Hospital that provides the latest vaccine availability for those eligible at providers and pharmacies throughout the US. Users can find nearby COVID-19 vaccination locations from the Search bar in Apple Maps by selecting COVID-19 Vaccines in the Find Nearby menu or by asking Siri, “Where can I get a COVID vaccination?”

The Apple Maps placecard for each vaccine site will include the operating hours, address, phone numbers, and a link to the provider’s website, where Maps users can learn more about available vaccines and book appointments. The initial rollout includes more than 20,000 locations, with Apple adding more sites in the coming weeks.

Apple is also allowing local businesses to update their placecards to display COVID information, like shopping hours. Incredibly helpful information all within Maps.

Apparently the Space Gray HomePod is in short supply in the U.S. Dave and I talk about that before moving on to a Safari message that people sometimes get alerting of them of tabs using significant memory. Dave also explains how a piece of digital art sold for $69 million.
