On this episode of Not Another Mac Podcast, Mark is joined by Allister Jenks, Antonio Rosario, and Peter Bird to discuss everything from the iPod to Photography. This episode also features the World's Shortest Reviewcast by John Nemerovski. John reviews the Secūr Six-In-One Car Charger (Model Number: SP-4003). More information regarding discussed topics: iPod: Mark isn't entirely happy about the iPod updates as he rants about the colors, but more specifically that neither the iPod Shuffle or iPod nano recieved an update to support Apple Music. It just seems strange as the iPods are locked into Apple's walled garden anyway. Allister feels that no significant upgrade was released as it would have required a more significant upgrade to the inner workings of the devices. Although, Mark believes that 2GB of storage for the iPod Shuffle is just too low. Would you agree? Antonio also misses the former square iPod nano for the additional storage. You know the one. The one that we all used as a watch, prior to the Apple Watch. Whilst Mark likes the new iPod nano, he dislikes the fact that it can't be clipped to clothing, like the edition that Antonio mentions. Do you remember iPod cases? Mark does ponder why iPod cases are no longer made–certainly not many of them! Based on this bit of nostalgia, the round table digress to look at traditional technologies and how much the humble cellular phone has transformed since the introduction of the iPhone. Did you know there used to be iPod/Apple vending machines? Mark didn't, but Alister and Antonio seem to know much more about it. Riveting conversation, take a listen. Mark then asks the roundtable to ponder why the 32GB is still available for the iPod touch, along with 128GB, given it was completely removed in the iPhone lineup. Mark then discusses the significant cost differences between Apple products. Would you agree that some Apple products are priced significantly higher than they should be? Take a listen and let us know in the comments. More Flixibility For Testing Products At The Apple Store: Mark wonders if Apple should be more flexible with in-store testing of products so that consumers can see if a product best suits their needs. Would you agree? Let us know in the comments. Antonio believes it isn't possible due to overcrowding and criminal activity. Isn't it a shame that a few people, ruin it for everybody. 5K iMac: Peter got a new toy. A maxed out one at that. It is fair to say that Mark and the rest of the roundtable are somewhat jealous, but at the same time excited to hear about this new piece of kit. We discuss why Peter went with the iMac over the possibility of a Mac Pro and Antonio asks Peter how easy it is to calibrate that iMac display. Have you ever tried to calibrate the display of an iMac? If so, what was the process like? Mark asks how accurate Apple Displays are out of the box and Antonio offers some thoughts about it. Antonio does mention that it is disappointing that Apple no longer support matte screens for their lineup. Would you agree? Life After Aperture And Photography In General: Allister talks about his experience with Aperture and what he intends to do now and into the future with a library of approximately 30,000 photographs. Allister makes an interesting point regarding Photos for iOS and how you can't add keywords on the device. Maybe I am wrong in my thinking, but wasn't this feature previously available? If you know, can you please leave us a comment? It seems that the concensus is that anyone with large photo libraries will not be able to adequately use Photos, or the associated iCloud Photo service to manage all their collection. As Allister suggests, it seems that what Apple offers is perfect for individuals who use their iPhone as their main camera, but those who have dedicated cameras may not have a great experience despit
