ConnectED

This week, the boys turn to a 12-sided die to shape the order of the show. Topics on the dodecahedron include follow-up, the 10th anniversary of Steve Jobs' death, tables coming to Craft and Amazon's recent announcements.

The guys all have new iPhones and talk about their migration experiences and initial impressions of the new devices. Then, Myke and Stephen tell Federico what he already knew — that the new iPad mini is fantastic.

iOS and iPadOS 15 are out, as are reviews for the new iPhones and iPads. This week, Federico tells Stephen and Myke what the new iPad mini is like and what Safari extensions they should check out. Mood boards were created along the way.

The dust has settled from Apple's iPhone 13 event and a Chairman has emerged from the haze.

Apple will be California Streaming, so the Connected guys are dreaming of sweet, sweet victories in the September '21 Rickies.

September is here, and that means iPhone and Apple Watch rumors are heating up. Stephen and Myke go through what's new on that front, cover some cool new Mac accessories, share regrets about Nest and kick off National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Myke and Federico pick Connected's weirdest listener, look back at Tim Cook's ten years as CEO of Apple, and talk about Federico's new CMS.

The guys mark Relay's 7th birthday by launching the annual Relay FM for St. Jude fundraiser! Then, discussions about Safari 15, 1Password and Federico's switch to Android.

Instead of just texting him, Myke directs much of his follow-up directly an absent Federico. Then, he and Stephen talk about the latest iPhone 13 rumors and roast each other's Docks.

Myke is away, so Stephen talks about the Mac Pro and Federico talks about emulating old video games. Also: MagSafe PopSockets, shipping challenges and the future of the Jeremies.

Myke received his mascot and Federico found another Magsafe wallet. There are even more iPad Mini rumors, and Beta 4 has brought a whole new set of changes to Safari. But don't worry, the Europeans also want to share some things they love right now.

Myke has questions about the Apple Watch, Stephen holds an unboxing and Federico has a new computer. Then, judging others based on the menu bar of their Mac.

Stephen has to whisper with an accent and Apple has to keep re-thinking Safari 15. Meanwhile, Myke still isn't using MagSafe and Federico's text editor has gone global.

A ceramic Apple Watch. A calendar Kickstarter. A review update. A ceramic Apple Watch. A calendar Kickstarter. A review update. An Apple Watch. A Kickstarter. An update. This is not three episodes of Connected. It's one episode, and we call it 88XX BANE.

This week, the guys talk about the Big Mail and Mimestream email clients, then move on to the topics of broken Apple Watches, Safari 15 and Apple's new Public Betas.

Myke is pondering emails apps and Federico is not happy with Safari. Also, Day One has been acquired, development continues on Dark Sky, and the boys are excited about Live Text.

This week, Myke, Stephen and Federico gather from across the globe to discuss iPadOS 15 multitasking and some sad Mac news.

WWDC 2021 is underway, and picks made last week must be judged. There will be a winner, a loser and probably some changes to the rules of the game.

WWDC is next week, so the boys have gathered their picks for The Rickies, which are now tracked on some amazing websites. As for the picks themselves ... well, buckle up, because things get passionate.

Myke (AKA the tvOS Guy) has a review of the new Apple TV remote and Federico has been pontificating about a new iPod touch. Then, with WWDC fast approaching, the Europeans pick a couple more features they want to see Apple announce. Stephen got stuck with the edit.

The M1 iPad Pro is here, and Federico walks Stephen and Myke through his review and thoughts on the new device. Then, a lecture on high-resolution audio in light of the recent Apple Music news. It's Federico Mania!

Federico is attempting to live that Thunderbolt life as Myke starts reviewing apps. Meanwhile, Stephen is the worst. Then, with WWDC a month away, the guys introduce a new segment.

There are some amazing websites on the Internet, but nothing can ease the pain brought by iPad mini rumors. Stephen knows about sound, Myke has a new keychain and Federico has a story to tell about Obsidian.

Myke explains what admiration means, then the guys talk about what's new in iOS 14.5 before getting into what's going on at Basecamp. Then in a radical change of gears, Federico has to name some emoji and Stephen surprises the guys with some news.

Apple's Spring Event has come and gone, and now the picks must be graded. Will Stephen remain in power as the Keynote Chairman? Can Myke gain access to both Twitter accounts, or is Federico poised for a comeback?

Apple is holding an event next week, so the guys have gathered their picks and are entering the Battlefield of the Ricky. The Keynote Chairman title is on the line.

Stephen cleans out the Connected inbox, Federico questions the meaning of an idea and Myke checks out a new task manager. Then, a discussion about the ramifications of technology reminding us of painful past events or encounters.

After an explanation on how feedback is best sent, Federico and Myke discuss their thoughts on TickTick, the (potential) future of the music industry, the announcement of WWDC 2021, and whether Connected listeners prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode.

After follow-up about feelings, Ticci explains what's going on with links to previously-made Shortcuts and Stephen marks 20 years of OS X. Then, Myke leads a focus group about the future of Apple in the home and the guys all inspect a task manager that has recently popped up on one of their home screens.

Stephen is accused of flip-flopping, while Myke has updated some firmware. Federico has reviewed a new iPad desktop stand and then the three descend into a Round Robin of iPhone features that wouldn't exist if Apple was starting over in 2021.

What's follow-up and what's a topic? Why has Apple chickened out with a change in iOS 14.5? Who wants a new iPad Pro? How many secrets have been kept between the co-hosts? Is this an annoying way to write a show description?

Myke tries to get through some iPhone rumors but the others keep joking around about model names. Meanwhile, there's big news for a couple of iOS apps. Stephen needs to deal with the problem brewing in his photos library and Federico goes missing for a brief time.

This week, Federico gets what he wants, but also doesn't. Myke tries out Hey, but only kinda. Also, are there new apps anymore?

This week, Stephen refuses to be pigeonholed, Federico talks about how MagSafe could be used on new accessories and Myke doesn't want to talk about folding iPhones, but then does. Also on the list of topics: failing Apple watches, #GreenGate and blankets.

Everyone's a real Federico, but only Stephen could disrupt the show document in such a profoundly useless way. Myke takes on the form of those around him. Topics include MacBook Pro batteries, Spotify and Siri getting cozy, the iPhone 12 mini and more.

This week, the guys review CARROT Weather 5, dream up new health devices for Apple to make and dive into the new iOS 14.5 beta. Also: Myke won't wear an anklet, Federico has words for certain drivers and Stephen files feedback about the Reminders app.

This week, Myke has a theory, Stephen has a crush and Federico has opinions on olives. Also: a discussion about Tweetbot 6 and what makes app subscriptions worth it.

This week, the guys plan the WWDC Olympics, talk about what's inside the AirPods Max and what the future of the Mac Pro may look like. Lastly, a report about folding iPhones is considered.

This week, the guys gather to discuss Apple's new Racial Equity and Justice Initiatives, some things at CES that caught their eyes and how they feel about the Apple Watch.

2020 is over. Products have been released, notches have been measured and an Annual Chairman has been named. As if that wasn't enough, the 2021 Rickies have been etched into a Google Doc for all time.

This week, the guys walk down memory lane, re-visiting the top tech stories of 2020. It was ... quite the year.

The AirPods Max have arrived in Memphis, London and Rome, so the guys give their impressions of Apple's newest product after talking about iOS 14.3, the post office and more.

This week, Apple is handing out awards, Federico has a new iPhone charger on the way, Myke meant to try an app and Stephen tried reinstalling macOS. Oh, and Salesforce bought Slack.

There's a lot of follow-up this week, then conversations about company retreats, Mac OS 9, password management, MagSafe and the Mac App Store. Then, Federico talks through his new email system. Myke and Stephen have feelings about it.

It's a busy week on Connected. Stephen and Myke talk about their HomePod minis and M1 Macs, and Federico explains what's going on with iOS 14.3 and App Store revenue changes. Merri Hackett joins Federico and Myke to talk about her experience with the iPhone 12 mini, and they decide they'd rather Stephen just didn't come back. And Myke finally reviews tvOS 14.

Apple has announced the first batch of Macs running on its own silicon, so the boys are judging yet another set of Rickies. Will Federico's dual-title fall? Will Myke get his Ricky? Did Stephen make a mistake having six Flexies?

Stephen returns to his co-hosts to hold the third Apple Event Rickies in as many months. (If there's not Mac news next week, everyone is in trouble.)

Stephen is not here this week, but that doesn't stop the Europeans from discussing headphones, wireless charging, new app updates, and the iPhone 12 Pro.

Reviews have landed for the iPhone 12 and iPad Air. The trio talk through the coverage, including Federico's iPad Air article. Also: Stephen asks for help with a problem, and Myke is very excited about how gold phones are made.

The dust is settling from Apple's iPhone 12 event and out of the haze steps a Keynote Chairman. Also discussed: MagSafe's return and trustworthy friends.

In the blink of an eye, another round of Rickies is here, this time for Apple's October event.
