Welcome to episode 5 of the Neowin Podcast, the show where Rich Woods and João Carrasqueira talk about all the big news from the past week.
June kicks off with Apple"s WWDC developer event, and with it comes a ton of news for all of the company"s operating systems. tvOS 13 is getting support for gaming controllers, watchOS 6 has its own App Store, iOS 13 finally has a dark mode, and there"s even the (kind of) new iPadOS. Aside from Apple stuff, we also heard some more details about Google"s Stadia service, which we found somewhat underwhelming.
