Listener Feedback
I actually really like Dan, he just sounds like he’s talking through his laptop microphone, other than that no complaints
iPad vs. Mac Debate
Some of us don’t want the iPad to be more like the Mac. We want iPad to be its own device and play to its strengths. I have both an iPad Air and a MacBook Air and use the iPad way more. I think it’s important to remember that iPads are not designed for high-end users (I am not a high-end user anymore). There are a few programs that I enjoy but can’t run on the iPad; but, I choose to not use them anymore.
Sounds like Hartley’s option of two different versions of iOS (“…a pro mode”) means iPads should be more like the iPhone series where the iPad Pro has more features like iPhone pro and pro max, and base iPad should be like base iPhone. That’s probably a good idea.
Fan Appreciation
I really enjoy hearing from people who are super into Apple. Keep up the great work! I’m 14, and I’m saving up for the Midnight color MacBook Air with 24 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage. I really appreciate all you do. Keep up the great work!
P.S. I used some writing tools to make this sound better. I also have an iPhone 16 in black.
Critique and Suggestions
Two people with relatively low emotional intelligence arguing for 40 minutes about whether or not Apple should have announced/advertised Apple Intelligence is not an enjoyable listening experience… you two need to listen back to this episode and see how stubborn, repetitive, and obstinate you both sound. Exhausting. Not constructive in any way.
