CLIPS CHANNEL! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt53CkmnlJDSPE3gJNFTHjQ
Jon Prosser and Sam Kohl are deeply concerned about the future of iOS...and the fact that iOS 16 is rumored to NOT have a redesign (even after all this time). The good news is they talk about this! The bad news is that this is essentially ALL the news that they discuss. This may or may not be due to an informal powerpoint presentation by Sam about his past week went. Oh, and they answer your voicemails!
