And you thought Apple had the most expensive product announced this week. Not so fast, how about an app to help you sleep for the low low price of $899? Apple updates their website to place more of a focus on people with disabilities but what about fixing iCloud.com for VoiceOver users? Could Apple be moving to a hardware subscription model? A recent survey discovered it is not just VoiceOver users that want Touch ID back. Amazon Sidewalk is coming and we are not sure it is a good thing. The AirPod Max have been announced for the low low price of $549. No you did not read that price incorrectly. We are stunned at this. Apple released their apps of 2020, but what about Brian and Ed’s favorite apps of 2020. Brian’s HomePod Mini finally arrived, and we get his thoughts of it. No time like the present to go over those monthly and yearly subscription services, you may be surprised what they add up to. Procter and Gamble makes a plea for more Audio Description for the blind. Then of course it is more of What’s Pissing Off Brian and Whatcha Streaming Whatcha Reading.
