MacVoices #21077: MacVoices Live! - Apple's Spring Loaded Event Sprung (1)

MacVoices Live! went online just hours after Apple wrapped up their intense Spring Loaded event where a host of new products were announced. In the first part of our analysis, the panel of Jeff Gamet, David Ginsburg, Jim Rea, Frank Petrie, Kelly Guimont, Brittany Smith and Kelly Guimont go deep on the AirTags since they are the first new product that can be purchased, talking about what they liked and what they didn't. Then, the new iPad Pro takes center stage as the panel who it is and isn't for. (Part 1)
