Waiting For Review

This week, we think about PC vs Mac pricing, and how Apple remain relevant and appealing in the face of such incredible value from the PC market. We also discuss how the move to Apple Silicon will play out for Apple, and the industry at large. And finally, Dave Nott built an app... !

Dave Nott can't enough of Big Sur (despite having installed it in the wrong way), and Dave Wood sets out on a big update to his app using SwiftUI Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

An eclectic episode this week as we discuss making an iCloud Drive based music player (and why it might not be a great idea!). This makes us wonder, when does a hobby become a business, and a business become a hobby? - it's a blurry line.

This week we discuss platforms. What makes one catch on, and what causes others to fail. We also touch upon the issues certain apps have had with a certain SDK, and Dave Wood catches up with his SwiftUI app architecture.

Dave Nott nearly sells his 16" MacBook Pro and Dave Wood falls down the rabbit hole (again!) of trying to find the perfect architecture for his SwiftUI projects.

After narrowly avoiding rushing into beta 1 of iOS 14, we take a dive into some of the new features and functionality that iOS 14 will bring us.

A huge week for the Mac. We start our WWDC coverage by breaking down whats coming for the Mac - both in terms of the operating system and the underlying silicon.

WWDC is almost upon us. From rumored ARM based Macs to a redesigned iMac, this WWDC could be shaping up to be one of the biggest yet.

Disillusioned with the modern web and with an urge to write, Dave Nott steps back into his web development past and sets out to find a suitable blogging platform.

A slight drama this week, where Dave Wood gets hit by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake as we discuss Dave Nott's new toaster, how retail is pivoting in today's environment, and of course, the massive leak / rumor of the upcoming AR glasses.

The 13" MacBook Pro serves to confuse us, more so when we consider the recent MacBook Air refresh. Are these machines the last of their kind? Will this year be the year we get "the talk" from Apple at WWDC about an ARM transition? We discuss what that could look like, and how things might shake out. * Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

Dave Nott mulls a mesh wifi network to improve his home connectivity. Meanwhile, Dave Wood has pushed a big button to leave behind a web host he's used for years, and taken his sites to Linode.

Dave Nott faces a sudden lack of motivation to work on iOS side projects. We discuss how the current climate may be having an impact, and what can be done to rebuild motivation when it vanishes.

After a bumpy start, Dave Nott has his new iPad. One problem, he doesn't really know what to do with it...

How we identify and avoid getting sucked into time sinks and rabbit holes. A timely episode as this week, Dave Nott has managed to (almost) dodge one while designing his new iOS app. * Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/) Special Guest: Monty.

Dave Nott has taken an iOS dev hiatus these last few weeks, whilst completing a Raspberry Pi based Arcade Machine. He's had time to consider his motivations for making apps at all and wonders what will become of his next iOS app once it's complete. Set up an indie-ios-shop again, or keep it as a portfolio piece to land a jobby-job?

We’ve started diving deeper into our on demand tv services. We discuss our respective experiences of Apple TV and the news of tighter integration of Amazon’s Prime video to the platform.

With both of us in lockdown on our respective sides of the globe, we discuss how we're adjusting, keeping up with our development projects and think about what lasting good could potentially come from this terribly sad situation.

We hope you're all staying safe and well. With everything going on right now, we decided to take some comfort in the shiney new Apple toys that landed recently, and to indulge ourselves in the details of it all.

Dave Wood returns to the show after taking some time out to recover from a bump to head. We catch up with how Dave is recovering, and how we sometimes need to pull various levers to keep things in check with our work and life balance.
