First up, Apple TV gives the boot to 'Central Park' and 'Swagger,' leaving us wondering if Apple's got a new trick up its sleeve or just a tighter belt.

This week, take a seat and tune in as Mark Chappell takes the reins as host, accompanied by the tech-savvy trio: Alan, Dean, Steve. Dive deep into the latest buzz surrounding Apple and the tech world. The new iPhone has hit the shelves, and as expected, the media is abuzz with tales of its durability (or the lack thereof), alleged overheating issues, and whispers about the FineWoven cases not living up to the hype. But wait, there's more! Apple seems to be turning a blind eye to it all. On a brighter note, gear up for some spine-chilling action as "Resident Evil Village" makes its way to the iPhone this Halloween, but brace yourself for that AAA price tag. In other news, iOS 17 is already rolling out another update, MacOS Sonoma has made its debut, and Apple Wallet is gearing up to display user account balances for select banks. All this and a sprinkle of extra insights await you in this week's episode. Don't miss out!

Well, there we have it! The dust from the Wonderlust event has settled, and we've got a few shiny new bits and bobs to discuss. Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl share their thoughts on Apple's latest presentation. We've got the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, as well as the new Apple Watch 9 and Ultra 2... and, erm, that's about the sum of it, really. Still, I'm certain the lads will unearth other intriguing facets of the event to natter about. Here's hoping, at any rate. All this, and perhaps a tad more, we trust, on this week's episode.

In this week's lively episode of the Mac & Forth Show Podcast, we are thrilled to welcome Steve Durbin from Geekscorner, as he joins our tech trio of hosts - Alan, Steve, and Karl. Gear up for another fresh week of Apple and tech-related news.

First up we have iOS 17's latest accessibility features set to transform user experience. Furthermore, we'll unpack Apple's exciting step into live music, featuring additions to their Maps and Music platforms.

Rejoice, our listeners down under! The SOS feature is finally live in your neck of the woods, coinciding with the launch of Apple's Tap to Pay.

Keeping no secrets this time, Apple finally unveiled their Beats Studio Buds+. We'll talk about what these new earbuds bring to the table.

Eyes are turning towards the upcoming WWDC and a mysterious 'Special Evening Activity' that has been scheduled. We speculate about what this might entail!

In the realm of television, the hit show 'Severance' is back in production. Will this news ease Alan's collywobbles? We'll find out!

Moving beyond Apple, the tech world is buzzing with the EU's approval of the Microsoft-Activision acquisition. Also, storage solutions provider Drobo seems to be facing a few hurdles.

In social media news, Twitter has a new captain at the helm. We'll delve into the potential shifts this leadership change might trigger.

So, strap in for another ride as we explore these stories, and a few more surprises, in this week's Mac & Forth Show Podcast.

This week Dean returns to join Alan, Steve, and Karl as they hack their way through the week’s Apple and tech-related news. Well, hold on to your hats, folks, because Apple just dropped a jaw-dropping surprise! Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are making their grand entrance to some iPads. Cha-ching! Apple's latest earnings rolled in, and guess what? They didn't stink as much as some naysayers predicted. In other news, keyboard maestro Brydge is bowing out. Apple Music Live is back in action, with Ed Sheeran strumming the first chords (groan, but hey, it's something). Uh-oh, Severance is in trouble again, so Alan's collywobbles will be staying a bit longer. Meanwhile, an iPhone takes a casual 14,000-foot nosedive and survives (cue applause), but still can't handle a two-foot one. And finally, you could be just a few clicks away from snagging that long-abandoned Twitter handle you've been eyeing. Fingers crossed! All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

After a week full of updates, Mark returns to join Alan, Steve, and Karl as they summarise the new releases and familiarise themselves with the latest OS’s. Plus, looks as if Apple isn’t done with raising prices as their subscription services also get a price hike. Apparently, the recent firmware update for AirPods did officially lower the effectiveness of ANC. Apple almost confirmed at a recent tech event that USB-C is coming to the next iPhone and look for more ads in the App Store from this week. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

This week Dean joins Alan, Steve, and Karl as they celebrate Mac & Forth’s 9th anniversary. Bugs continue to be reported, looks like this time the Apple Watch 8 is in-line for some pesky infections. Another bug got many excited about a possible new feature, but then hopes were dashed. Europe has passed its bill making USB-C a legal requirement from 2024. YouTube seems desperate to boost its paying subscribers and Elon is about to own Twitter. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

After hosting last week, Mark returns to join Alan, Steve and Karl to speculate about what Apple might announce next week. Obviously, there will be iPhones and Apple Watches, but what else might make the mix? AirPods Pro 2, iPad Pro M2, HomePod 2…basically many things with a 2 in them? Well, only a few more days until we know, until then let the speculation run riot. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

Once again Mark slides into the hosting chair and is joined by Alan, Steve and Barry. Apple has announced their next ‘Far Out’ event coming next month so that gives us something to look forward to, as well as our upcoming London meet-up. Alan is a little concerned about his battery readings. Apple plans to add more ads, apparently, they now think they are Google. TikTok is spying on your keystrokes, who would have thought it and, thank heavens there’s a Ming-Chi Kuo rumour. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

This week, Mark returns to join Alan, Steve and Karl to poke around the week’s Apple-related news, what there is of it, before the next big event. Karl has decided his monitor should match his stature and well as finally released a new YouTube video. Alan’s beta curse raises its head again and he’s also gone a little old school with his music. Mark appears to be fighting password requests and Steve has probably just been going to work, then back home again. Also, the iMac turns 24, an Apple engineer is in trouble for helping a customer, AirTags help catch a crock and Apple patches a zero-day exploit. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

This week Mark hops into the hosting seat and is joined by Alan and Dean to discuss the stories of the week. iOS16 gives the AirPods Max an audio update. Rumours of the AirPods Pro case could be fantastic if true. Sticking with AirPods a TV presenter swallows one thinking it was a vitamin… says so much about our presenters and it looks like there is a new way to buy Apple Gift Cards in Europe. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

It’s our 300th episode, but we aren’t doing anything special as Alan, Steve and Karl don’t wish to dwell on how long they have been talking nonsense about Apple over the years. However, there is news that the iPod is no more, AirPods got an update, AirTags saved someone $7000, a parent is angry and an Apple employee has a huff. Plus this week we are joined by Mark Chappell to go over all of that, and slightly more.

This week Mark Chappel joins Alan, Steve and Karl to share their views and opinions on the recent raft of updates for our favourite iOS devices. What do they make of the changes and what are their favourite new features? Spotify say they are aware that their app is a bit of a drain, on your battery that is. Apple have flexed their pricing muscles and upped the price of the Flex Headphones and there may be an issue with the Express Transit feature if tied to your Visa card, or there may not be. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

This week Alan, Dean and Karl return to discuss the week's Apple and tech-related news. As Karl predicted, Apple made their announcement of their announcement, it might have been pretty obvious but still, we’re counting it as a win. So what may next week’s presentation hold for us all? Well, again it’s probably pretty obvious but we’re still going to speculate, so there. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

Once again Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to discuss the week's Apple and tech-related news. Karl gets a new tech toy and it’s not even Apple related. Looks like some changes are afoot in the App Store, some by Apple, some forced on Apple. Today at Apple sessions return to UK stores. James Bond comes to Apple TV, kinda and Apple makes a classical move. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

Back once again, Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to discuss the week's Apple and tech-related news. Tim Cook has been steering Apple for ten years, we reflect on his time as CEO. Apparently someone thinks if Apple doesn’t produce a folding iPhone this year then Apple is screwed…alrighty then. Google pays big once again to remain the default search option on Safari, luckily it’s easy to change and OnlyFans manage to annoy their creators and users but luckily there may be a happy ending.

Another week has passed so Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to discuss the week's Apple and tech-related news. Apple has caused a bit of a stir regarding the privacy of photos in iOS15, but is it as problematic as some are making it out to be? Spotify has cancelled Airplay 2, or has it? Apple Arcade now boasts 200 games, and we ‘hopefully’ clear up something that has been confusing one of our listeners. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

This week Alan, Dean, Steve are joined by guest host for the show, Mark Chappel, to discuss the week's Apple and tech-related news. YouTube and Spotify look to be adding cheaper subscriptions for their services. You can now get a separate Touch-ID keyboard but it’s not cheap. Apple Store App Clips make it easier than ever to walk out of a store and look like you’re a thief, plus we finally discover the truth about the Ted Lasso curry scene. All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.

Time for Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl to assemble once again to look over the week’s Apple-related news. The HomePod has been discontinued much to the surprise of some of the panel.

This week Alan and Karl are joined by Simon from The Essential Apple Podcast to pour over the week's Apple-related news. Apple looks to update its subscription payment policy to reduce egregious charges. Final Cut Pro may get its own subscription service. M1 Macs may be burning through the life of their SSD’s, or maybe not. A mysterious malware has been discovered but no one seems to know what it's doing. iOS update will make it harder to exploit zero-click attacks…Oh, and we find out approximately when Ted Lasso shall return. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Alan, Dean, Steve, and Karl spend some time on the current Apple-related news, such as Intel taking some shots at the M1, Apple offering free Watch repairs, Google finally updates its apps, and the Foundation TV show might run for eight seasons. Eventually, they turn their attention to way back when some of today's most loathed tech platforms were welcomed as innovative and exciting, how times can charge. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Alan, Dean, Steve, and Karl are back once again to face the week’s Apple-related news and offer their never sort-out opinions. Following the iOS updates last week it’s the turn for MacOS this week. Apple also drops iOS14.5 beta and gives us a sneak look at what will be coming soon. The new ‘nutrition labels’ for apps might be fibbing to us. Facebook hopes their new page prompt will fend off users blocking their tracking and the Weather app starts to let the UK when it is about to rain…when doesn’t it though?

The ‘other’ half of the G-Men, GazMaz, from the MyMac Podcast joins Alan, Dean and Karl this week, to sort through the recent Apple-related news. Apple TV+ adds old, and new, Fraggle Rock episodes to its library, with one big missing character if you’re an older UK viewer. MacOS Catalina 10.15.5 arrives, time for a restart. YouTube Kids arrives on AppleTV, which should please many harassed parents. What was with that huge influx of updates this week? Some EU states are still not happy with Apple/Google’s tracing efforts and the brother of a Columbian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar is suing Apple, so that should go well.

An iOS developer gets locked out of the developer account but is it a conspiracy or incompetence? Apple announces a December event, but why? One of Apple’s first movies runs into problems and Germany takes issues with Apple’s NFC chip. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Apple has finally revealed their oft rumoured new MacBook Pro allowing Alan, Steve and Karl to drool while checking their bank balances before coming to the realisation that they probably won’t be using one any time soon. We now have a narrower window for the release of the powerful Mac Pro, something else they probably won’t get to use any time soon, plus more rumours of Apple’s AR Glasses…which, probably, no-one is going to be able to use anytime soon….so, that’s all good then. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

AppleTV+ is about to launch and some of the TV reviews have not been kind, plus the rumoured Apple Tile might have a new name. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

Just after last week’s show was when news of Sir Jony Ive leaving Apple dropped, so we are probably among the last to discuss it but that won’t stop Alan, Dean and Karl from sharing their thoughts on what this might mean moving forward. They also share some of this favourite Ive designs as well as some that left them wanting. SIRI discovers live radio, OpenID has a few words about Sign In with Apple, Apple+ won’t be Netflix and we learn the latest number of users on Apple Music…because we all want to know that. All this and slightly more on this week’s episode.

WE’RE BACK!

After a short break Alan, Dean, Steve and Karl return to their podcasting duties. Following a rather exciting WWDC keynote, they discuss some of the features that will be coming to iOS, WatchOS, TVOS, MacOS and now iPadOS later this year. Well, except for Dean who has jumped into beta-country with both feet on virtually all of his devices. All this and a new Mac Pro to discuss. Someone had better break out the ‘FanBoy Alert’ siren.
