Daniel skips off to England, while Manton tends to a server meltdown. The pair talk of Manton putting the iOS 10 beta on his iPad, and Daniel laments the eternal lack of ability to install multiple OS on one device. Finally, they discuss the rumored iPhone “7” and the purported removal of its headphone jack.

Daniel and Manton recap the hijinx of recording in hotels during WWDC, compare notes on experiences with Apple’s beta software releases, and talk about strategies for using Xcode 7 and 8 in parallel. They also talk more about Manton’s coworking space, and the perennial attraction of full-time employment to Daniel.

Manton and Daniel react to the 2016 WWDC keynote. The first part of the recording was lost because of a technical glitch: celebrating Apple Watch performance improvements, and taking in changes to support tabbed windows on macOS. But we talked more about iMessage and Siri extensibility, Continuity improvements, Apple Pay for the web, Apple’s keynote diversity, and more.
