This MacVoices Live! discussion shifted to an examination of the possibility of Apple Hardware Subscriptions. The panel of David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Andrew Orr, and Frank Petrie discuss and debate the feasibility of the business model from both the consumer and Apple standpoints, identify some existing options that are almost like a subscription service, and some of the challenges of putting it all together. (Part 2 of 2)

The latest edition of MacVoices Live! marked our first dual stream to both Facebook and YouTube as the panel of David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Andrew Orr, and Frank Petrie provided some follow-up information from a viewer on our AirPods Max evaluation. The discussion then turned to an article by Andrew and the debate over why Google Chrome is slowing down some users’ computers, what Keystone is, and why it is even there.

Our MacVoices Live! panel of  Oliver Breidenbach, Frank Petrie, Kelly Guimont, Mark Fuccio, Guy Serle, and Brittany Smith wrap up their thoughts on Apple’s newly-announced AirPods Max, talk about the release of Fitness+, and accidentally start a conversation about Siri.
