Beyond Devices Podcast

This week, our News Roundup covers Apple's response to beta users' feedback on iPad Pro Pencil navigation support in iOS 9.3, smartphone announcements from Mobile World Congress, and Fitbit's earnings. Our Question of the Week is "What's the state of the global smartphone market?", which Jan addresses. We talk about whether the smartphone market is growing, and where, which players are growing (and which aren't), we talk about the fact that iOS/Android and Apple/Google are no longer the most interesting competitive dynamics, and offer some predictions for the future. Our final topic is a sequel to last week's discussion about Apple and the FBI, given all the new information that's emerged since our earlier discussion. We wrap up with our Weekly Pick, as usual, which this week is a website recommendation from Aaron. As usual, you’ll find some links to related content as well as other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.
