iOS 15 Public Betas are here! Should you download?

iOS 15, iPadOS 15, WatchOS 8 & TVOS public betas are live

2015 Vintage!
The original 12” MacBook with its Core M processor and famously popular Butterfly keyboard. 2016 & 2017 models still getting updates.

I'm Brandon Chapman, a composer/engineer/dozen other hats and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm 33 years old, been an Apple guy since my first Unibody Macbook Pro in 2008-2009, back when I was at university. Still have my 2012 Mac Pro that I no longer use. Currently rocking the 2013 Trashcan maxed out (factory max, not 128gb of ram or anything). 

Love your show! I started watching it daily for the past 5 months or so. 

If you wanna know the gear I've got, well it's a lot.

Juno 60 (1982)
Behringer MonoPoly
Moog Grandmother
Universal Audio Apollo 8p
Shadow Hills 500 series bus compressor
Martin Acoustic
Fender American Professional Jazz bass
PRS Semi-hollow electric guitar
TLM 103 condenser microphone

And just loads of VST's and plugins. Hey, if you ever need or want an audio guy for mixes or composition, I'm your guy, unless I'm not, in which case, very well. 

Reeeeaaal excited about the new macbooks as I believe the M1X should pack some serious power and more than enough for my needs (which can actually be pretty needy, 100-200 tracks of heavy VST instruments and audio plugins.) But yeah, I work full time for a marketing agency (7.5 years) and also do freelance after hours. I hate the agency so going to probably branch out and go freelance once I can get my hands on the new SoC and really finish my studio.

Thanks for reading my short story, and if you're curious about any work, just go here: www.vvade.com

#icaveanswers when do you see Apple discontinuing support for x86 architecture in MacOS?

#iCaveAnswers what 4K monitor and keyboard would you recommend assuming I’ll use it with the M1 Air or Mini now and the M1X MBP later? I do a mix of productivity, graphics and video editing. (Pro not student.)Thanks. ☺️

#icaveanswers what are your thoughts on Loki?

#iCaveAnswers What do you believe was the reason for apple keeping the 2017 21.5 inch non-retina iMac in production after introducing the apple silicon model.

#iCaveAnswers do You think Apple will ever expand to home devices such as AI vacuums etc? probably with 600 $ wheels :P

#icaveanswers at one point you mentioned dipping a toe into the HomeKit area, so I have a question. I thought “thread” was the new protocol to let all kinds of things talk to each other and the HomePod mini had thread built in too. But now I’m hearing of a different protocol (the name escapes me at the moment) that includes Apple, Google, etc… what’s the future on HomeKit communication? Thanks!

#iCaveAnswers Dave, in your opinion, which way do you think Apple will go with the following? The "new" upcoming MBA will have the same size chassis as the current one just with a larger screen, or, the same size screen as the current one but a smaller chassis? Thanks.
