WWDC, Apple Ring, and five years of Apple TV+ on the AppleInsider Podcast

We come not to bury HomeKit Secure Routers, but to note that in the five years since this internet protection was announced, barely anything has happened with it. Whereas, also launched 2019, Apple TV+ is going from strength to strength.

The AppleInsider podcast always concentrates on the latest Apple News. However, if you're a subscriber, you get the longer and ad-free version, plus our exclusive new AppleInsider+ segment.

For all listeners, this week's AppleInsider podcast celebrates all that's great about Apple TV+, and all that's promising about a possible Apple Ring. Also the strange case of the HomeKit Secure Router and whatever happened to it.

Plus, the real odds of any hardware being released at WWDC, and host William Gallagher's adventures with an iPad Pro in London.
