MacVoices #13178: A TidBITS MacJury Discusses The iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s

After a long, hard day of journalistic effort, we corralled part of the TidBITS brain trust to analyze Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. The topics ranged from the art-deco colors of the 5c to the A7 chip that powers the 5s. Along the way, the panel had strong opinions about slo-mo video, the improvements to the camera in the 5s, the security and convenience aspects of the new Touch ID scanner, and more. You won’t find a panel of experts with better commentary or more laughs than this MacJury of Josh Centers, Michael E. Cohen,  Adam Engst, Tonya Engst, Joe Kissell and host Chuck Joiner.
