MacBreak Weekly 530
Heterogeneous Ear Holes
Leaked MacBook Pro photos, Portrait mode arrives, Apple earnings beat the Street.
Records live every Tuesday at 2:00pm Eastern / 11:00am Pacific / 19:00 UTC.
Final predictions for Apple's "hello again" event this Thursday: New MacBooks and Macbook Pros - complete with a just-leaked photo of the new OLED function strip. Magic Strip? Magic Bar? Apple's Q4 earnings beat Wall Street estimates, Apple sues over counterfeit chargers sold on Amazon, and happy 15th birthday, iPod!
- iOS 10.1 is out. Rene thinks the new Portrait mode is flawed, but wonderfully so.
- The 32gb iPhone 7 has slower memory, but that doesn't matter. What might matter is the inferior Intel modem in the AT&T and T-Mobile version.
- Leo has the ultimate Christmas gift for the ham lover in your life.
