As we eagerly await the release of iOS 17.2, Brett and I begin this week’s In the News podcast by discussing a security update released by Apple this week. We then discuss all of the Apple year-end lists with the top apps, books, and podcasts. We also discuss how Apple Music and Spotify give you end-of-the-year looks at the music that you yourself listened to during the past year. We also discuss Apple’s satellite service, using an Apple Watch to help with insomnia, and how running Windows on an iPhone or iPad can be a real thing but something that looks almost exactly like an iPhone can be a fake thing.
In our In the Know segment, Brett explains why it is nice to use an Apple Watch as a wake-up alarm. I explain how you can get rid of annoying alerts in some apps that pop-up whenever you want to paste something.
