120: Apple is Connecting Nowhere

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #120 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter. 

This week, Leonard, Rob, Bill, and Marc jump on a chat about a lot of stuff. We kick things off reminiscing about the 90s when Grunge just became a thing at a time when spandex and teased massive hair and heavy metal guitar ruled the day. Then came Britney Spears who ruined everything. We also chat about smart homes and why they don't matter despite Matter and it's inability to Thread the needle despite support from massive players like Apple. Speaking of Apple, we talk about the big announcement that was going to happen today with a lot of gossip and hype about some kind of satellite service, faster and better iPhone, new Apple Watch, and AirPods, and more, and the drama that is Arm suing Qualcomm. Of course, we were right about Apple, they had deal with Globalstar. It's real, not a rumor.
