Episode 8 of the In the News podcast is now available. In this week's episode, Brett Burney and I begin by discussing the 14th anniversary of the iPhone going on sale and how much the iPhone was a major change, not only for smartphones but for many other aspects of life. Next, we discuss watch bands for the Apple Watch, including the new choices for the International Collection Sport Loop that Apple released this week. Then we talk about the Apple TV 4K and the public beta of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15.
Finally, in our In the Know segment, Brett recommends the free iExit app, a great road-trip companion because it tells you what’s coming up on the next exits on U.S. Interstate Highways. I recommend the free Google Voice app as a way to have an extra phone number that you can give to a store or organization when you don't want to give them your real phone number. By turning off notifications for that app, people can call or text you at that number and leave you messages without interrupting you.
