We just finished a huge week of Apple hardware and software releases, which means that we are no longer just thinking about upcoming new features—we are now actually using the new software and hardware. As a result, Brett Burney I had lot of interesting things to discuss on this week’s episode of the In the News Podcast. We started by discussing some of the best new features of iOS 17 and the other new software releases. Next, we discuss the new iPhone 15 models, and the timing of this discussion in the episode could not have been better because my new iPhone 15 Pro Max arrived just as we were beginning that discussion. As a result, if you watch the version of this week’s episode on YouTube, you can see one of the few live unboxing videos that was in no way pre-planned! We also talk about our initial thoughts on the new features added to the AirPods Pro, as well as other recent changes to Apple products like the HomePod and Apple TV.
This episode is sponsored by SaneBox, and Brett and I both explained why the @SaneNews folder makes such a dramatic difference when you are reading your emails because everything is pre-sorted. Imagine having an assistant pre-sort your physical mail so that you can go through it more efficiently; that is the idea.

In our In the Know segment, Brett identifies some of the great new features in Safari in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17. I describe the level indicator in the Camera app in iOS 17 and how it makes it so incredibly easy to take perfectly level photos.
