Episode notes

The action button is a great example of Apple discovering that buttons are useful. Having a clean appearance is one thing, but features pay dividends every single day. Can the iPhone support one more button? I believe it can. Like I don't think they're going to go hog wild with it. But still it's a big one, especially if they let us, you know, assign things to it for like what's single tap, double tap, triple tap, tap and hold.
