We are only a month away from a brand new iPhone model and the new iOS 17, so Brett and I spend much of this week’s episode of the In the News podcast talking about that. We also discuss why you should not trust companies that purport to list the top apps in the App Store, the new Callsheet app that you can use to look up information about actors, movies, and shows, the bizarre temperatures that some folks are seeking when then use Foreca as a weather source, and more.
In this week’s Where Y’at? segment, we talk about using an iPhone to escape from the fire in Hawaii and using an AirTag to track down luggage lost by an airline.

In our In the Know segment, Brett discussed why you may or may not want to use the Offload Unused Apps function. And I explained why you should be using the Shortcuts app on the iPhone.
