Episode 34 - Apple’s surprise M2 Mac and HomePod Announcements

When you follow just about any industry long enough, things can get a bit… cyclical…

Tech is no different there, and possibly one of the leading offenders: CES happens every January, Samsung shows ever-larger phones early each year and folding-ones later that year, and the next thing we know it’s time for another Black Friday “sales” spectacular…

But, every so often… any one of these brands are poised to throw out a curve ball, and this week Apple pulled exactly that...

In a relative one-two-punch of announcements, we went from a perfectly normal post-CES kind of week to new entries in the laptop, desktop, and Smart Home space straight to your ears from the Cupertino space ship…
