Updates, updates, and more updates! Brett and I begin this week's action-packed episode of the In the News podcast by discussing Apple's numerous latest updates to the operating systems for just about all of its products. Even if you don't live in the EU, there are lots of changes on the iPhone, including Apple's impressive and helpful feature in the Apple Podcasts app that lets you work with (and search) a transcript of a podcast. Plus, there are new Emoji including the 🍋🟩 lime Emjoi (which will look like a lemon + green square if you haven't updated yet).
The Vision Pro operating system was updated to version 1.1, and one of the new features is improvements to Persona. If you are wearing your Vision Pro during a videoconference, the avatar version of you looks a little more like the real you than it did before. This is tough to describe in an audio podcast, but if you watch the video of this week's podcast on YouTube (which is embedded below) and jump to the chapter called "Jeff's Improved Vision Pro Persona," you can see a comparison of the prior version and this new update thanks to Brett doing such a good job in creating this week's video.
But that's not all. We also discuss a fun new version of the Apple Pencil, tips for taking panoramic photos, new movies on Apple TV+, new videos created by Apple, and more.
Brett's tip of the week involves the always helpful ESC key. My tip of the week is to check out a weather app called Weather Up, not because of the app itself, but instead because of the amazing widget and Apple Watch complication.
