I loved recording this week’s episode of the In the News podcast, and I highly encourage you to check it out. In fact, you should consider watching at least the first few minutes on YouTube so that you can see the fantastic pictures and video of the eclipse that we discuss in our first segment. We also talk about the Apple Vision Pro and the brutal reviews of the Humane AI pin along with the fact that there are some interesting ideas in there. We then discuss security threats for the iPhone: the incentive for hackers to come up with ways to make you unsafe, and Apple’s recent alert telling some specific users that they had been the target of a sophisticated hacker campaign. Yikes.
In light of those last few stories, our tips of the week are focused on security. I explain Lockdown Mode and who should use it, Brett discusses locking down your iPhone screen, and as a bonus tip we discuss Apple’s safety check feature.
