Welcome to a nearly TRIPLE-SIZED episode of 30 Minute Apple! Why’s it so long? Because of the big big iPhone 7 announcement just the other day! We, Natasha and Eric, cover all the major points with commentary and appropriate punditry.

Welcome to a special edition of 30 Minute Apple where Natasha and Eric discuss the biggest issue to issue since there were issues: The removal of the headphone jack from iPhone 7.
And it’s just a rumor! Granted, the rumor is very strong, but it has electrified tech punditry and it’s all everyone can talk about—even us!
Then it’s all about iOS 10 beta 1 impressions. What thing do we both think is the bestest ever? What’re the rough spots? And, yes, there’s something we plain don’t like!
iOS 10 official preview that Eric mentioned.
HUGE HUGE episode! Five times the advertised length!
But we had to, you see! There was so very much to talk about! This WWDC was really jammed with all sorts of new features—and we covered them all, including but not limited to:
watchOS—new faces, SOS, Breathe, Scribble, and much more.
tvOS—Search, Single sign-on, Sketch Party, and more.
macOS—Siri, Auto Unlock, universal clipboard, Apple Pay, and more.
iOS10—Lock screen, Control Center, Siri, Quick Type, Photos, Maps!, Music, News, Home Kit, Phone, and the biggest feature (for us) of all: Messages!
And finally: Swift!
My goodness, there’s really so very much.
PLUS Eric explains why he’s using Maps instead of Waze from now on.
All of our devices are haunted—and we have proof! In that things that’ve happened to us since last episode are a bit…crazy!
BUT FIRST—A FIRST for the podcast! We have just a few interview questions from a 14-year-old relative of Natasha’s who just purchased an iPhone SE with her own money. Why did she do that? What does she think of it? We have the answers!
Now then, here are the links we mentioned during the podcast…

Meanwhile, enjoy episode 21! We did!
Natasha and Eric discuss drawing art on the rumored new iPad Pro 2 (iPad Pro Mini?) or whatever it’s going to be called—if there’s even going to be one a’tall—that may or may not debut at an Apple event on either the 15th or 21st of March, 2016. (And Eric rather talks himself into buying one of them…)
And, of course, there is much discussion about the ongoing FBI brouhaha and its implications for future Apple products.
Plus, some Apple Watch talk, and more!
