CES is happening this week, but in the first-ever virtual format, so everyone is figuring out to do what we used to do in person. NextBase was our first stop for an informal conversation with Jeff Chuh, VP of Marketing, about what their focus has been, and an overview of their top-of-the-line dash cam, which includes the ability to be expanded to a front- and rear-view camera, Alexa compatibility, and why that is important.
info_outline<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Britany Smith</strong>, <strong>Andrew Orr</strong>, <strong>Kelly</strong> Guimont, and <strong>Frank Petrie </strong>started out by discussing which iPhone 12 models they selected and their experiences with them. Some had them for a couple weeks, others only for a weekend, depending on the model. Was the iPhone 12 Pro Max too big? Was the iPhone 12 mini too small? How heavy is too heavy? Which one was just right? Find out in Part 1, and look for Part 2 where the discussion includes the HomePod mini. (Part 1 of 2)</p>
