The Apple Worm

So the year has come and gone! I hope you have already heard the second to last episode of The Apple Worm Podcast on Soundcloud or Apple Podcast App ! Every year I do two final podcast and blog episodes: the first is on tech and the second on movies, so here we go. First, a small but important piece about my thoughts on what I believe happened and was most relevant to MY tech year and hopefully yours too: 1. The cheap-but-awesome smartphone market went from good to great! Phones like the Pocophone by XiaoMi and the One Plus 6T proved to the world that they can play in a price range that Apple does not and dominate enough to impress anyone who has a budget and still wants to get a flagship quality phone. 2. Smart speakers and machine learning technology is the NOW. If anyone ever wondered which technology would be more relevant between Augmented and Virtual Reality, well 2018 really settled that debate. Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, whoever you have in your life nowad
