#181 - Where Power Resides




More Than Just Code podcast - iOS and Swift development, news and advice show

Summary: We start the episode with a brief look at Reporter and looking at unwind segues with modal view controllers. We also follow up on unconventional parking with self driving cars. We follow up on using Face ID to authorize purchases with iTunes family purchases in iOS 11. You can now use the Square Cash app to purchase bitcoin. We discuss Apple's plan to postpone some new features to focus on performance and quality. It's time for the annual "Apple is doomed" discussion as pundits warn of iPhone X sales slowing down. Tim's iPhone X suffers from a "green line" OLED defect, which turns out to be a common problem on iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S7.
