Summary

Joe Cieplinski from Release Notes joins the podcast to talk about Apple's FaceTime bug and how big of a deal it really is. They've disabled it for now, but after all their mishaps in the past year is it time for Apple to take a more humble approach instead of acting like they're still an invincible company.
