Both Glenn and Susie use their Apple TVs every single day. So we’re excited about the prospect of a hardware refresh—which, let’s face it, is long overdue, especially if Apple TV is destined to be a HomeKit hub, and to get advanced features like Siri. We’ve got some ideas for the rumored Apple streaming TV service too.
Later, we turn to the topic of what Nintendo’s move into mobile gaming means for Nintendo fans, as well as people who haven’t bought a Nintendo product in years. And it seems like iOS 8.3 will be out very soon, so we recap what we’re expecting there, and the iOS 8 bugs that still, well, bug us.
