We start with Manton’s frustration with Apple platform development. Manton has been shifting away from macOS and iOS development, begrudging Apple’s outsized influence. Daniel and Manton talk about the broader issues of whether to accept closed platform restrictions after tasting the freedom of self-publishing. Then they wrap up with the Apple Vision Pro’s approach to privacy and whether a locked-down device can ever really replace the Mac.
