Hi!
This week I’m highlighting the latest Apple releases: HomeView and the long-awaited updates to Apple TV 4K and HomePod. But instead of reviewing the hardware, which you can easily find online, I focused on the small upgrades in the background that will make a real difference in everyday life for Apple users.
I’m also sharing a big list of Siri AI commands, so you can see how far you can take it. And there’s a very interesting interview with a classic iPad-only user about how he runs his business on an iPad.
