editor and writer answer listener emails and discuss:
- Apple announced a lot of refreshed products, including William's favorite: the iMac. But William does mention that there's a sort of blurring of the lines, and it's not always easy to know which to buy when choosing a new machine
- Victor likes the idea of AirPods that have "Hey Siri" functionality always on. This is a game-changer for Voice First interfaces.
- Apple's news service looks like it's getting ready to launch, and Victor isn't as excited about the subscription model as he is about being able to unsubscribe easily.
- AirPower seems imminent. In a year's time we went from, it's impossible, to Apple hiding all mention of it, to it looking like an inevitability. There are clues that AirPower support is in the iOS beta.
- Goldman Sachs's CEO may be in the audience at the March 25th event, another clue that the financial product for Apple Wallet could be happening.
