Welcome everybody, if you don't know this is kind of the weekly show and if you're new to this show where we kind of fill you in on all the latest Apple news, what is happening that matters?

And we did a show earlier on Tuesday, I was gone on vacation all of last week.

So what we're going to do this episode, I got a special guest because I think it's time that we start doing some of these lookbacks of the year.

Now I'm going to do what Apple did right and what Apple did wrong in 2022 with my friend of the show in versus Ray Wong.

I feel like he's been on the show at least four or five times this year so we're going to go back and forth and it's going to be a lot of fun.

I have no idea what he thinks he has no idea what I think so we're just going to go along and just let it ride.

But first, this show is brought to you by you Patreon.com slash Brian Tongue is how you support my content and many of you have done it from the very beginning and all through this year.
