A delightful intro by Merlin Mann and Adam Lisagor, the first appearance of an Apple executive on an independent podcast, and insightful discussions on software stability, iOS 9, privacy, the 16GB storage size, the tradeoffs associated with device thinness, the MacBook’s single USB port, and more. Phil spoke very candidly in this interview and was willing to answer any question thrown at him, even the ones that you wouldn’t expect him to. If you only listen to one podcast episode today it should be this one, it’s an absolute must-listen.

Update: John has also published a video edition of the episode on Vimeo.
