Episode 163 - There is No Place like HomeKit - Past and Future

Adam Justice and Richard Gunther prepare for Apple's annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) with a review of the history and current state of HomeKit. How has it evolved over the five years (five years!) since it was first introduced, where can it stand to improve, and how do Adam and Richard think Apple will enhance it this year? Will we see state-of-the-art improvements to Siri? Will HomePod become more useful? Will Marzipan ruin Mac apps? These topics and other rumors make for some great discussion this week. But they'll also get the real scoop after the conference, when Adam and Richard follow up with the next episode, recorded on site at WWDC.
