MacVoices #21247: The Top Stories of 2021 with Ken Ray (1)

Ken Ray of macOSKen helps us take a look at some of the top Apple and tech-related stories of 2021. Ken and Chuck start out with the obvious choice: COVID-19 and what it meant for Apple at all levels. Then, they each pick an “imaginary” product that impacted things this year. That discussion starts with Apple Car and continues with the enthusiasm over the metaverse concept. (Part 1) This edition of MacVoices is supported by Coinbase.

A slightly skewed, sometimes cynical, obsessive look at Apple news, five-days-a-week.
