Episode 15 of the In the News podcast is now available. After a short public service announcement (a warning to T-Mobile customers about a recent large data breach), Brett and I begin by discussing the use of the Find My app, AirTags, and the Apple Watch to protect yourself from thieves and burglars, as well as a recent case in New York in which the thieves themselves used this technology to steal from other criminals. Next, we discussed using Spatial Audio with videos to create a more immersive experience. After briefly discussing a new Apple Arcade game called Wurdweb, we then discuss the excellent PDF Expert app, including the update that I described a few days ago, and we also discuss a recipe app called Mela.
In this week’s In the Know segment, we provide tips related to photos and videos. Brett shares a tip for using shared albums on an iPhone so that multiple friends and family members can easily share pictures or videos that they take during a shared experience like a vacation. I recommend a product sold by Studio Neat, the Glif ($28 on Amazon), along with the excellent Hand Grip + Wrist Strap attachment (my review). When you want to record a video for more than a minute or two — such as when filming your child in a school performance, an athletic event, etc. — the Hand Grip with the Glif makes it so much easier to record with an iPhone for an extended period of time.
