Episode 26: The 2019 16 Inch MacBook Pro
Bye Bye, Little Butterfly
For our twenty-sixth regular show, we spend some time taking a look at the recently announced (and released) 2019 16-Inch MacBook Pro. Is the keyboard finally fixed? We talk specs, first impressions and whether this is the MacBook Pro for all the professionals out there, and speculate on when we might get these changes in a smaller form factor. In the HomeKit Chronicles, one of the biggest promised of iOS 13 becomes a reality as Logitech adds HomeKit Secure Video to its Circle 2 camera, and Jake finds a light at the end of the tunnel for his longstanding issue getting military card support on his iPad Pro.
