Apple and now many others are beginning to rethink this strategy and have begun diversifying their manufacturing to other countries in the region as well.</p> <figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="http://www.mymac.com/podcast/mymac922.mp3"></audio></figure> <p></p> <p><iframe style="width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px; background: transparent;" src="https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mymac-com-podcast/id74170128?itsct=podcast_box&itscg=30200" height="450px" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation">

MyMac Podcast 919: MyMac-Mus Eve

Posted on December 24, 2022 by Tim Robertson

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the podcast, not a creature was stirring but you know it won’t last. Gaz and Guy have family coming from afar. Through wind, snow, and rain, but quite comfy in their car. You heard them exclaim as the present wrappings flew, “You didn’t get Apple Care? You fool you fool!”

MyMac Podcast 918: 13th day of Christmas

Posted on December 18, 2022 by Tim Robertson

Two weeks away and the GMen are getting into the spirit of the season! That season being “Why the heck is it so cold and windy?” Also, it’s looking more and more like Apple is going to be forced in the EU to allow 3rd party app stores and other alternative means to procuring and installing iOS/iPadOS apps outside of Apple’s own app store.

Posted on November 27, 2022 by Tim Robertson

We have just jumped into the holiday season with black Friday and all kinds of deals that really aren’t all that impressive. However, Guy has scoured the internet (at least 25 minutes of hard core searching!) and found a bunch of deals that REALLY made him want to buy stuff….but he didn’t

MyMac Podcast 916: Did you tweet you twit?

Posted on November 22, 2022 by Tim Robertson

There seems to be little common ground around Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. It’s either the greatest thing EVAH (freedom fries for murica) or a house burning down around an oven with a chicken left in at 300 celsius. What actually is happening is mostly up for debate and your opinion is just as valid as someone else. Even if those two opinions are 180 degrees out of sync.

MyMac Podcast 903: Same old, Same old

Posted on August 22, 2022 by Tim Robertson

It’s being said that the iPhone 14 will have the same look and processor as its predecessor and in order to get the best full featured specs, you’ll need to jump to the 14 Pro. If this is true, is there really a need for iPhone 12 or 13 users to jump to a new phone?

MyMac Podcast 902: Who’s NeXT?

Posted on August 8, 2022 by Tim Robertson

While Tim Cook (Mr. Excitement) has been the CEO of Apple for over 10 years, he’s now getting closer to mid-60s and is probably looking past where he’ll be running things. His legacy is pretty firmly set and there’s not much more at this point he could do, so who will be next in line to run Apple? We’ll look at some of the likely candidates in the second section.

MyMac Podcast 898: Get New Stuff

Posted on June 19, 2022 by Tim Robertson

Neither Guy nor Gaz are made out of money which is a good thing since random pieces of coloured paper can’t do podcasts, but we can afford a few luxuries or items to replace current luxuries. So in the section part 2 we’re going to talk about what we have, what we’d replace it with, and why.

MyMac Podcast 897: WWD SO Wrong

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Tim Robertson

We made a lot of predictions for the keynote of WWDC, and I’m proud to say that we got everything right…which is a lie. Other than the date, not too much was correct.

MyMac Podcast 896: DaDub DaDub Devy’s Comf

Posted on June 6, 2022 by Tim Robertson

So many sales going on right now on Apple products from Walmart with its Walmart + Weekend sales or Amazon’s Amazon Prime Day events with HUGE discounts off Apple Products. Many pendants are saying, “Hey Apple, why don’t YOU do some of those discounts and get those shoppers on YOUR website!”. Except they’ve forgotten one important fact. Both Amazon and Walmart are still buying those products from Apple so without even cutting margins to near nothing, Apple still gets paid. Also apparently there’s a developer’s conference or something on Monday which I guess the GMen will talk about. Lastly, it’s the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!
