Apple has four OSes and we should hear about them all at the Worldwide Developers Conference starting next week. Roman and Glenn preview their fervent wishes, especially about the underdeveloped Apple TV and tvOS. They also talk about the Galaxy S8 camera compared to the iPhone 7s, Google Photos versus iCloud Photo Library, and how Thunderbolt 3 won the interface war.

Could a non-invasive wearable blood-glucose monitor that links to an Apple Watch help change people's lives and lead to better avoidance of diabetes onset? Roman and Glenn discuss this, along with the potential of new laptops at WWDC, Today at Apple, and the odd introduction of an Android switcher campaign when new phones are just a few months away.

Apple invests $200 million into Corning for advanced glass manufacture in the U.S., WannaCrypt hit Windows users (but also could affect Macs with Boot Camp or virtual machines), and Siri gets crowded by Alexa and Google Assistant. Susie and Glenn talk that plus research showing an Apple Watch can detect irregular heartbeats 97 percent as well as dedicated medical equipment.

Apple could spend a billion dollars on break room snacks and not feel a pinch, but the company is instead digging deep to seed an investment fund for advanced U.S. manufacturing. Which is pretty tasty too.

Glenn and Susie discuss how a focus on improving Siri could benefit all of Apple's platforms, and help them blend together better too.

Uber got in some hot water with Apple, but it was all handled behind the scenes, while Glenn thinks that users should have been alerted.

We're going to be sick of the next iPhone before it's even formally announced, aren't we? Well, there's always the parlor game of trying to figure out how the Mac Pro lost its way. Join us, won't you?

If preferring the new iPad to the iPad Pro makes Susie an amateur, she can live with that.

If you're a Mac pro who needs a Mac Pro, Apple has good news and bad news.

Apple releases iOS 10.3, a major and minor release, which adds a lot of little features, and macOS 10.12.4, which brings Night Shift to the Mac. Glenn Fleishman and Leah Yamshon talk about new features, follow-up security and conflict minerals stories, and explain how an iCloud breach is almost certainly not that on this week’s episode.

Apple announced a new, cheaper iPad, as well as a red iPhone 7 and more. That Clips app sounds cool too, like a crossover between Vine and Snapchat.

A great article by David Pogue has us thinking about accessibility, and the iPad rumors won't quit.

WikiLeaks says that the CIA can crack pretty much anything, and that's not the only security-related story to talk about.

Look, getting rid of Lightning for USB-C in the next iPhone just makes sense, even though the timing is awkward. And Glenn knows an astonishing amount of useful information about surge protectors.

Apple's developers conference is moving back to San Jose, but before that happens, we might see a March event with new iPads and even a red iPhone.

Tim Cook can't stop hinting about AR, and Susie's theory is that he's really talking about Project Titan.

We did extensive testing on the new MacBook Pro's so-called battery problems and discuss what you should do when a battery goes bad.

Tim Cook reminded Apple employees as well as the Trump administration that the company wouldn't exist without immigration.

After a security-focused podcast last week, we turn to...more security stories, like the so-called backdoor in WhatsApp and how to keep those communications safe.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the world with an electronic device right now who isn't concerned about a combination of criminal, troll, and overreaching government trying to crack their security and vacuum up their data. For some practical advice, host Glenn Fleishman is joined by Jonathan Zdziarski, an iPhone forensics expert with extensive experience working with law enforcement, who is also the developer of the file-access-monitoring app, Little Flocker.
