Let's fix things 16 - Her is coming
b'
Fresh back from vacation Joe and Guus hold a longer discussion on recent Apple events. This includes a breakdown between Apple and Amazon within their voice services for controlling connected devices. Joe goes over follow up from the last show looking at banking companies advertising "smart" home features to assist in home sales and the idea of smart homes assisting the elderly. Guus reviews his updates on the Raft \'aio\' bot, which is being created to control the Raft office including devices and simple tasks.
Joe discusses why removing the headphone jack in the new iPhone is fine, and a smart business move for Apple. This leads into the main topic of Apple and Amazon voice services. The discussion looks at four areas of comparison (Coverage, Commands, Clarity, Access) to assess how each company is progressing in handling control of connected devices and how each company is currently positioned in the question to reach the "Her" event horizon.
