In this week’s episode, we discuss the upcoming developments of the HomeKit Insider podcast with guest Brian Tong and what we expect to see at Apple’s special March 4th experience.
This week’s host is Brian Tong again. Brian is a content creator who has covered the tech space for years, including hosting high-quality interviews with Apple executives and co-hosting CES.
At the beginning of this episode, your host talks about the future of podcasting. This will officially be the last episodeHomeKit Insider.
However, the news from the smart home does not stop there, as the show goes into rebranding HomeKit Insider on Smart Home Insider. The new name ditches the “HomeKit” moniker, which Apple has also largely abandoned in favor of “Apple Home,” while broadening the appeal.
Smart Home Insider otherwise, it will be the same show you’ve grown to love with a variety of rotating guest hosts. We’ve already booked industry experts, content creators and executives to share their thoughts on the smart home.
As always, the show will cover a wide range of smart home news, with the Apple user at the center of our coverage, as well as in-depth interviews and reviews.
This week’s news is otherwise light, with most of the episode focusing on Apple rumors and updates. The conversation is driven by Apple’s March 4 “experience” and the absence of a new generation of Siri.
Finally, the topic turns to Apple’s fresh beta cycle 26.4. Even without updates, Siri still has a number of relevant changes for smart home users, such as the addition of Apple TV to CarPlay and a fix for tvOS.
Finally, we’ll dive into a recent rumor about Apple’s work on wearables with artificial intelligence. While wearables are the main item, other Apple Home devices are also being developed.
The episode comes to a close with Brian sharing the details of his personal smart home. Although he is an Apple fan, his home is diverse with Alexa, Nest and Siri devices.
