Jacobi Anstruther and Tom Darnell
Jacobi Anstruther, founder and chief executive officer of Iris, and Tom Darnell, its chief commercial officer, join the show to talk about making digital sound come alive.
We then look into some news that would have come out of Mobile World Congress had it taken place, as we discuss Huawei and Google parting ways on the Honor 9 phone.
Nibler speaks with Greg Marsh, founder and CEO of KeyMe, about how it is putting up to 10,000 do-it-yourself key duplication kiosks around the country.
There’s a whole world of livestreaming cameras out there, and in this segment we plunge Nibler smack dab into the middle of one. Can he guess where in the world it is via clues, or will he drown in defeat?
Taking a look at smart homes, we discuss why home security cameras should have shutters in order to keep hackers at bay.
Finally, we speak with Brad Hunstable, CEO of Linear Labs, about the new Hunstable Electric Turbine motor, which produces twice the torque of currentelectric vehicleV motors.
We shouldn’t fall into the easy trap of passing the new MagSafe for iPhone technology off as merely a branding exercise dripping in nostalgia to titillate long-term Mac fans. There are two reasons why. First, it may become one of the most interesting and innovative “Made for iPhone” official accessory ranges we’ve seen since the beginning of the program itself.
Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
