    #222: That's Not a Plan

    December 3rd, 2018 · 108 minutes

    John Siracusa joins Jason to discuss the future of Apple's ARM processors and how they might change the Mac, Apple Music coming to the Amazon Echo and what that might mean about the future of Apple's forthcoming TV service, whether they're using their TiVos as much as they used to, and the prospects for an Apple-built external touchscreen display.

    Guest Starring: John Siracusa
