The Mac & Forth Show 266 - Here We Go Again
It’s a brand new year so Alan, Dean, and Karl look ahead to what the next twelve months might hold for us regarding Apple. Obviously there will be new iPhones, iPads, Macs and other items but what might feature in these new designs or devices. Well, once again, they have put together a list of what they hope to see and again we will hold ourselves accountable come the end of the year to see if we can compete with the many outstanding Apple analysts who are nearly always right…Oh, wait.
