Federico and John wrap up 2018 with a look back at the past year, the apps the team covered in December, and ahead to how they plan to spend their holiday break.

In this special Club MacStories members-only episode of AppStories Unplugged, Federico and John discuss the different approach Federico took to his iOS 12 review this year along with his research and writing process, the tools he used, and the automation that saved him countless hours. Federico and John also discuss the philosophy behind Club MacStories and what it means to the MacStories Team.

Federico and John talk about their daily schedules and how they are changing, John's RSS system, their work setups, WiFi mesh networks, their personal tech wishes for 2018, and the differences between Apple Music and Spotify.

Federico and John kick off a Club MacStories members-only edition of AppStories with a wide ranging discussion of our favorite iOS 11 apps and life at MacStories during the summer iOS review season.
