Episode 43: Glorified Electric Typewriter Programs

The Icon Garden

iWorkin’ For A Living.

We take a surprisingly contentious topic and dive into the myriad options that exist and have existed for word processing on Apple platforms past and present. Where did we start? What do we do now? Is Word 5.1 still the one to beat? In the news, Apple wins in Europe tax battle, iOS 13.6 may be the final update for the 13 era, the Logitech Folio touch for the iPad pro launches, and are we finally getting braided cables? In the HomeKit Chronicles, we break from the rules slightly and look at the Eufy Doorbell, which might get HomeKit at some point. We hope you enjoy this wordy trip through the world of word processors!
