205: iPhone SE 2
December 14, 2018 18:45 - 12 minutes - 6.24 MBWhen Apple introduced the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, the original iPhone SE had to die. But there have been rumors Apple was making a new, entry-level iPhone SE for first-time buyers and emerging markets, something that was essentially an updated iPhone SE with slightly better specs but the same low, low price. Then, rumors that Apple was making a new, modern iPhone SE with and edge-to-edge display, camera notch and all, for people who want a fancy new iPhone but not one even...
204: Best FREE Apple stuff: #HourOfCode Edition!
December 12, 2018 18:03 - 6 minutes - 3.42 MBGoogle gets a lot of attention and even affection for giving away free services in exchange for our personal, private data. Apple doesn’t want any of that. When you buy something from Apple, just like stickers and cables come in the box, hundreds of millions of dollars of educational programing and probably billions in free apps and services, everything you need to start exploring code and photography and video and music and much, much, more also comes invisibly in that box. If you think A...
203: MacBook vs. Air vs. Pro: The one you should get!
December 11, 2018 17:59 - 9 minutes - 4.83 MBThe old Steve Jobs product grid is gone. The old grid is dead. But I’d argue there’s a new, almost as simple grid that’s taken its place and can help you whittle down to your ideal MacBook pretty quick. With the new Air and old, the low end and high end 12-inch, and the 13-inch no Touch Bar to 15-inch Vega MacBook Pro, with lots of room to fuss with exact processor, memory, and storage options in between, there's a lot of choice in Apple's current notebook lineup. Which is why grids only...
Bonus: Running an Elephant in a Steeplechase w/ Don Melton
December 10, 2018 19:22 - 1 hour - 31 MBGramps may not beta, but he does return to Vector for a Holiday chat with Rene! They talk about the Microsoft Edge transition to Chromium, and taking the blame (and earning praise) for decisions at Apple. They also discuss Marvel shows getting canceled by Netflix and the content siloing of video streaming services. Plus, the pros and cons of hardware vs. software transcoding, and a ton more!

202: iPhone XR Review: One month later
December 06, 2018 19:51 - 12 minutes - 6.24 MBiPhone XR has been out for just over a month, and I’ve been using it, sometimes side by side with an iPhone XS, often times on its own, and for the last few days side by side with an iPhone 6s. Why a 6s? Because I wanted to get a sense not just of how cool the new colors are, though they are, or whether the display and camera system were dealbreakers compared to the iPhone XS, which really depends on the individual, but how much of a difference the upgrade will make to a real person in the r...
Bonus: James Cuda and Procreate
December 03, 2018 19:58 - 46 minutes - 21.6 MBJames Cuda, is the creator of Procreate along with being the co-founder and CEO of its development studio, Savage Interactive. It's an astonishing tool that allows artists to sketch, paint, and create richly detailed illustrations. It's a killer app of iPad — one that soundly disproves the notion of tablets as "consumption devices" and "not for real work". James joins Rene to discuss the immense power and potential of the latest iPad Pro models, and to examine the ways artists today make u...
201: Apple Watch 4 Review: 2 Months Later (Hermès)
November 28, 2018 21:30 - 11 minutes - 5.67 MBI’ve been wearing an Apple Watch Series 4 with watchOS 5 for just over 10 weeks now, including a couple weeks with the aluminum, gold steel, Nike+, and now, for the last month, Hermès. So, over 2 months later and almost 4 years in, which new features have flourished for me and which ones have failed? Has it been worth the upgrade or would an older Apple Watch still be just fine? Hit play and let's re-review this! SPONSOR: Simple Contacts: Get $20 off your first Simple Contacts order j...
200: Where is AirPower?
November 28, 2018 19:05 - 10 minutes - 5.38 MBAirPower was announced alongside the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X at Apple’s September event… in 2017. It was a preview, not a release, and Apple said it would only be available in 2018. Since then, the iPhone X has come and gone and another September event along with it. Now it’s November 2018 — late November — and AirPower is still nowhere to be found. Apple has launched products in December before. AirPods, of course, in 2016, and the Smart Battery Case for iPhone 6s in 2015. But it’s...
199: The Touch Screen Mac
November 27, 2018 17:12 - 17 minutes - 8.54 MBIt’s 2018. Why don’t we have multitouch screen Macs? The company line is that it’s not ergonomic — that having to reach up and across to touch the screen of a Mac to get things done is inefficient and that trying to make the Mac interface work for mouse and for fingers would require too many compromises. But adding multitouch to the Mac doesn’t remove the existing keyboard or mouse controls any more than making the Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro removed the taps and swipes. So, for real, ...
198: Trackpad Mode and more iPhone & iPad keyboard tips
November 25, 2018 03:06 - 9 minutes - 4.57 MBJust this last week where, following the launch of the iPad Pro, even basic typing tricks like trackpad mode and cursor movement spread through Twitter with viral shock and delight. Years old, many people still simply didn’t know. Well, let’s fix that now. I’m not going to go over basics like the magnifier and copy and paste, which I think are pretty well known to most of you by now. But, if you’re not familiar with them, just drop me a line in the comments and I’ll happily help you out....
Bonus: Pro work on iPad Pro, with artist Rob McCallum
November 24, 2018 20:16 - 44 minutes - 20.8 MBToronto-based concept art and storyboard artist Rob McCallum has been using iPad Pro for all of his work since 2015. And his body of work is extraordinarily impressive, with a resumé that includes: Pacific Rim, RoboCop, Total Recall, It, Suicide Squad, and most recently, Star Trek: Discovery. Armed with the new 2018 model and his go to drawing app of choice, Procreate, he shares his experiences in being able to push the creativity and complexity of his work even further than before. He a...
197: The Apple TV... Dongle?!
November 24, 2018 15:44 - 6 minutes - 3.34 MBI’ve been thinking about an Apple TV streaming stick for the last couple years but now it looks like the next couple of years could make it a reality. Currently, Apple’s only answer to television is a starting at $179 box that runs apps and plays up to 4K HDR. But what if there was something else? Something smaller that, instead of sitting beside any tv, could plug right into the back. Something that gave you all the power of Apple’s TV app, but could go with you in a pocket… or maybe was ...
196: Black Friday 2018: What I'm Getting... and Giving!
November 21, 2018 19:46 - 7 minutes - 3.89 MBThese are the actual gifts I’m giving this year. And I can’t think of a higher personal recommendation than that. You can’t escape holiday gift giving — and receiving — at least entirely. So, when I shop for others and myself, I try really hard to only buy only a few, well made things. Things that give value. Things that will last. It can make Black Friday — or Blackvember Fest as I called it in my video last week — trickier to navigate. Like HALO jumping into a brand new massively onlin...
195: iPad Pro (2018) Review: Two weeks later!
November 19, 2018 20:13 - 14 minutes - 6.91 MBI received a lot of great feedback on my iPad Pro (2018) review and I appreciate it. But, I also got some criticism and I think it was valid and fair. I didn’t have as many negatives on my list as some other reviewers because I reviewed the new hardware and most of the negatives deemed directed at the not so new software. Also, I didn’t address the iPad Pros ability to replace a laptop, which is something almost every other review focused on extensively. So, after spending two weeks now wi...
194: The MacBook ARM
November 16, 2018 19:16 - 19 minutes - 9.54 MBRumors have been percolating for years already about a third great Apple silicon transition, this time to ARM. By many accounts, Apple has had MacBooks on ARM, running both iOS and macOS since, well, there was any ARM to run them on. As Apple’s chipset prowess has grown and Intel’s fortunes have faltered, the buzz has gotten louder. Not around an iOS clamshell or desktop box, mind you, interesting as both those products might be. But proper macOS running on proper Apple silicon. And sinc...

192: The Lost Episode: Hands-on Supercut
November 14, 2018 16:04 - 15 minutes - 7.51 MBSo here's the thing. We weren't able to publish audio versions of our hands-on videos that were made following Apple's event on October 30, 2018. These three videos about the 2018 versions of iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini represent Rene's initial impressions of the devices. Full reviews have since been published — but in the interest of making the Vector audio podcast a complete chronicle of happenings in the Apple-verse, we present them now. Enjoy!

191: Black Friday Tips: Score deals on Apple iPhone, iTunes Cards, Amazon, more!
November 13, 2018 19:41 - 9 minutes - 5 MBYou can save $100 on a HomePod. And 20% on iTunes Cards. And get $300 back on an iPhone. And... Now, it’s no secret Apple gear is priced at a premium. And that can make it expensive to get what you want, especially everything you want. But, the Black Friday and Holiday Sales can give you a very real break. So, if you’ve been looking to get a new iPhone or Mac or Home automation, to save some cash on games or movies or a new subscription, now’s the time to do it, and all you and I need to...
190: Mac mini (2018) Review
November 08, 2018 20:34 - 11 minutes - 5.59 MBMaybe Apple always intended to update the Mac mini but got distracted by more urgent projects? Maybe Apple was waiting to do something... different with the mini, but it was taking too long? Or maybe Apple never meant to update the mini at all but changed its mind after seeing just how much its customers missed the littlest Mac? I don’t know. But I do know this: After four long, fallow years, Apple has finally updated the Mac mini. So, is this the Mac mini we’ve all been waiting for? Yes...
189: MacBook Air (2018) Review
November 07, 2018 17:29 - 19 minutes - 9.27 MB“Just slap a Retina display in the MacBook Air and ship it!” is what a lot of people have been clamoring for Apple to do for a long, long time. This isn't that. On one extreme, you have the 12-inch MacBook for those who want ultimate portability and are willing to pay a premium for it. On the other extreme, the MacBook Pro for those who want ultimate power and are likely willing to pay for it. In the middle, the broad middle, you have the new Air for those who want a balance of portabili...
188: iPad Pro (2018) Review
November 05, 2018 19:25 - 28 minutes - 13.4 MBHear that? That was the sound of Apple snapping its fingers and killing half the bezels in its product universe. iPhone went first. Then Apple Watch. Then MacBook Air. Now, iPad Pro. (Somewhere out there, iMac is whispering, “I don’t feel so go…”) Edge-to-curved-edge Liquid Retina display in 12.5- or 11-inches, Face ID and True Depth Camera, A12X Bionic notebook-crushing processor, new Apple Pencil, and new Smart Keyboard Folio — this is the new iPad Pro. But is it any good? SPONSOR: ...
187: The Mac, with Apple's Tom Boger
November 02, 2018 10:07 - 36 minutes - 51.6 MBTom Boger is Sr. Director of Mac Product Marketing at Apple. He's worked on projects including the original iMac. Earlier this week, he took to the Apple keynote stage to introduce the new Mac mini. The following day he sat down with me to talk about that new Mac mini as well as the new MacBook Air and Apple's complete current line-up of Macs: What the design goals are, how to choose the right Mac for you, and how Apple sees the Mac now and into the future. Links Mac mini at Apple MacBo...
186: Apple October Event: Last-Minute Predictions
October 29, 2018 14:00 - 11 minutes - 5.52 MBThe invitations have gone out — 370 odd unique invitations, actually, as it seems like Apple has sent custom art out to everyone invited. In a myriad of styles, from abstract to pop — and the event date is set: October 30, 2018, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Howard Gilman Opera House. So, what does art and music have to do with iPads and Macs? New iPads Pro, maybe a new iPad mini, new Mac mini, new entry-level MacBook Air replacement, maybe new AirPods and... AirPower. It's all com...
185: iPhone XR vs. XS Display: OLED Worth an Extra $250?
October 26, 2018 21:24 - 14 minutes - 6.95 MBiPhone XR starts at $749. That's $250 less than XS and $350 less than XS Max. And one of the biggest reasons for the difference is the 326ppi LCD display instead of the 458ppi OLED.. So, is that worth the $250 or $350 — or more, depending on the storage — price tag difference? The bottom line for me is this: Once you dive deep into display nerdery, things like “1080p in 2018” just sound utterly uninformed. It’s a factor, sure, but it’s not even close to the top of the list of what makes ...
184: iPhone XR vs. XS Camera: Is this difference worth $250+?
October 24, 2018 19:01 - 14 minutes - 7.07 MBiPhone XR starts at $749. That's $250 less than XS and $350 less than XS Max. And one of the biggest reasons for the difference is the camera system. The front-facing TrueDepth camera is the same but the back facing camera on iPhone XS and XS Max is a dual system with one wide angle and one telephoto. XR only has the wide angle. So, does that worth the $250 or $350 — or more, depending on the storage — price tag difference? I asked professional photographer and YouTuber Tyler Stalman t...
183: iPhone XR Review
October 23, 2018 16:19 - 27 minutes - 12.8 MBIf you want a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone but you don't want to pay a thousand or more bucks for it, you want an XR. iPhone XR — never mind what the R means, it's just a new letter for Apple, one before S, "racing" if you're into cars, "reflex" if you're into cameras, cool-sounding either way. It's everything you need in a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone, minus some bells and whistles... and the higher price tag. LCD instead of OLED display. Single instead of dual camera system. Haptic...
182: New Mac mini (2018) Preview
October 19, 2018 19:41 - 8 minutes - 4.17 MBApple's last event of the year is set for October 30, 2018, in Brooklyn New York, and one of the biggest — er, smallest! — rumors is the return of the Mac mini! The Mac mini was the original switcher machine. It was announced back in 2005 as a small, inexpensive way for you to swap out a Windows PC for a Mac. But now the switchers have switched and the Mac mini appeals more to pros who want to rack mount it in server rooms or hook it up to media centers or production pipelines. So, what ...
181: Even Linus doesn't care about his iPhone XS review?
October 19, 2018 02:16 - 14 minutes - 7.09 MBI wasn't going to post a show today. I've been traveling — three cities in three days — and I'm under the weather, and I'm working on a big video for tomorrow, but then I saw Linus... And it looked like he needed help to better understand and enjoy his iPhone XS. Since helping people understand and enjoy their technology, primarily Apple technology, is literally what I do, I dove in and tried to provide the absolute best answers, and sometimes sympathy, I could to his questions and concerns.
180: Apple Watch Controlled AI Selfie Drone!
October 17, 2018 18:23 - 4 minutes - 2.69 MBDrones are good. Drones are great. Drones are fantastic. But they have one huge problem: Humans. Humans that crash their drones so goddam always. Especially on YouTube. Now, if only there was a way around that. A way to get all the good, great, and fantastic without having to worry about humans getting in the way. Well, now there is. And all you need is a Skydio R1, an Apple Watch, and a dream. The Skydio R1 , which the company refers to as a self-driving camera, isn’t new. It’s been...
179: Pixel 3 vs. iPhone XS: Which is *really* the Best Google Phone?
October 16, 2018 15:38 - 7 minutes - 3.86 MBIf you want to, you can legitimately turn the iPhone into one of the best Google phones in the world. Especially if your definition of “best” includes a heavy focus on privacy and security. Android is all about choice and, because of that, not using Android has to be a valid choice as well. Not for everyone, of course, but for those of you who were either so disappointed in the latest Pixels or so concerned with Google’s current direction that you want to explore a change.

178: Siri Shortcuts: From the Experts!
October 12, 2018 17:52 - 13 minutes - 6.48 MBShortcuts is the most important addition to iOS since Extensibility in 8. With it, you can not only set up convenient voice commands to perform any action, you can create actions that are combined into powerful workflows without sacrificing any of that convenience. Thanks to a bunch of product launches — and some controversies — I haven't had as much time to deep dive into Shortcuts as I'd like so, for this video, I asked some friends to help me out!

177: iPad Pro X (2018) Preview
October 11, 2018 16:36 - 13 minutes - 6.84 MBThe minute we saw iPhone X kick bezels and home buttons to the curb, iPad was put on notice. It had a year, maybe more or maybe less, before Apple’s new “modern” design language came looking for it. Now, based on all the rumors to date, modern has come, modern has found it, and a lot more has come with it. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to http://brilliant.org/vector and sign up for free.

October 05, 2018 15:53 - 15 minutes - 7.63 MBIn 10 years of covering Apple, I've never seen anything like this. Bloomberg Businessweek has dropped a bombshell: Chinese intelligence — agents of the People’s Liberation Army — forced factories in China to add tiny spy chips to server boards being manufactured for industry-leading Super Micro, to be sold to industry giants like Apple and Amazon. Their boards and servers literally provide the hearts and minds for many of the world’s data centers, large and small. And, the report says, the...
173: Apple 2018 October Event Preview
October 04, 2018 16:27 - 8 minutes - 4.3 MBApple doesn’t always host October events. But, when Apple wants to show off new designs and highlight new technology — when it wants to go into the holidays with an extra bang — it’s with an October event. So, assuming there is an October Event, and not just a PR drop or bevy of briefings, what could we see? If past is prolog, new iPads Pro and bunch of new Macs. Let's take a look!

October 02, 2018 18:49 - 10 minutes - 5.12 MBSpoiler Alert: Apple isn’t applying a beauty filter to your iPhone XS selfies. I’ve covered this in both my initial review and my 3-weeks-later review, but that particularly bad bit of intel just keeps making the rounds, so I wanted to do proper video and a real explainer to lay it to rest once and for all.

171: iPhone XS + Max Review: 3 Weeks Later
October 01, 2018 15:06 - 9 minutes - 4.93 MBI’ve been using an iPhone XS going on 3 weeks now. Ever since just after the Apple Event at the Steve Jobs Theater. In that time I used to as my main driver. For communication, photography, videography, travel, reading, listening, watching, writing… pretty much everything I do everyday. For the first week, that was all on the 5.8-inch iPhone XS proper. For the last two weeks, I’ve been alternating between the XS and the 6.5-inch XS Max. It’s a big phone. But, wow, is it a big phone.

167: OMG the iPhone XR Display is...?!
September 25, 2018 16:24 - 12 minutes - 6.16 MBSo, there’s been some confusion over the last few days about iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR specs. Part of that is Apple’s fault because, unlike screen density and storage capacity, they don’t list RAM and battery capacity. And part of it is the fault of broken-internet, which, like broken telephone, passes along information often without context or clarity, resulting in it getting warped and distorted in a way that’s significantly less than helpful. Let's clear that up. SPONS...
166: iPhone XS + Max Review
September 21, 2018 15:03 - 26 minutes - 12.5 MBiPhone XS isn't an all-new iPhone. It's a new iPhone X. So, what does that mean? I don't think Apple intends iPhone X owners to rush out and upgrade to iPhone XS, industry insiders, tech enthusiasts, and those on yearly programs, will of course do just that. Rather, I think Apple intends these new models to appeal to those who didn't yet make the leap to an all-new iPhone. Those who always avoid rev. A boards, or who stuck with Android or with the Home button, or who were simply waiting on...

September 19, 2018 17:18 - 23 minutes - 11.4 MBApple Watch is the most important product Apple has ever made and Series 4 is the most important Apple Watch to date. Is Apple Watch Series 4 perfect? No, of course not. It's still missing core features like always-on time, sleep tracking, and a way for me to make a damn Super-Man Photo face with enough complications to actually be useful. It also starts at $399 — or $499 if you want it with cellular networking — which is still a good chunk of change for what for most people remains a tert...

This means we can now calibrate a repaired iPhone by simply connecting the device to [redacted] running our calibration and diagnostics, without the need to run it through a ...

September 13, 2018 19:07 - 3 minutes - 1.98 MBApple has just announced the iPhone XR, which offers much of the same user experience of the iPhone X, but with some notable departures. The phone is larger than the iPhone X, with a 6.1-inch LCD display. It retains the TrueDepth camera that first launched on the 2017 iPhone X, and says goodbye to the Home button.
