S1E244 - Essential Apple Podcast 244: Fix it yourself?

This week Simon and Nick discuss if Apple are planning their car to launch without a steering wheel or pedals in 2025. The surprise announcement you will be able to fix it yourself soon - if you really want. How Simon’s new iPhone 13 setup didn’t go smoothly. 50 years of chips, and more. GIVEAWAYS & OFFERS Steve at Geeks Corner has a podcast which is usually a 5-15 min show of his thoughts on tech. Also keep an eye on his site or follow him on Twitter @GeekCorner_uk to watch for regular giveaways. The next meeting of Suffolk Mac User Group is on Wednesday 24 November at 7.30pm GMT, when member Tony Bramley, professional photographer and Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, will be ripping the lid off DaVinci Resolve, and illustrating how easy it is to use. Amazingly, a free piece of software, way beyond iMovie and GarageBand and used quite often for high end work in Hollywood, DaVinci Resolve has incredible power that rivals Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier Pro.
