- The rumored iPhones in question
- Apple's acquisition of Akios, an AR holographic lens company

Hi - I really enjoyed the interview with Mr Kocienda and I hope you told him off-air what the specific issues you daughter was having with predictive text. He sounded v worried about that and it would have been good to have him explain or give his point of view.
Thank you
Ps I've enjoyed all these interviews you've done (especially the audio/music related ones but all).
