Introduction

After a day of contemplation and review of the details available, the MacVoices Live! panel of David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Jeff Gamet, Guy Serle, Jim Rea, Brittany Smith, and Kelly Guimont take on Apple’s “Unleashed” event. We start off with Chuck being corrected on one assumption about the Apple Music Voice Plan, mourn (more or less) the loss of the Touch Bar, and dig into some of the technical details of the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. (Part 1)
