Tammy Coron is joined by Josh Hrach and Peter Witham to discuss the recent Apple iPhone event. They discuss the newly announced iPhone 18 Pro, AirPods 5, Apple Watch Series 12, Watch Ultra 4, and the much anticipated iPhone Duo. They were provided with notes, but didn’t refer to them until late in the episode.

Ten Years ago we recorded this episode at Indie Devstock September 2016 in Nashville. Not much has changed, except Twitter.

In this special live episode Tammy Coron, Greg Heo and Joe Cieplinski join Jaime Lopez and Tim Mitra. We discuss whether to refactor your old code. We also sticker packs for the Messages API. Joe has produced Leo Collection stickers. We discuss diversity challenges at conferences with Tammy and Joe. We also send Tammy Inside the Chaotic Studios.
