We start this week’s episode of the In the News podcast by turning back the clock to the day when the iPhone was first named. And to really to do that, you need to turn back the clock all the way to the 1990s when the decision was made to use the word “iMac” for Apple’s first self-contained computer aimed at getting on the Internet. We then turn the clock forward to the future to analyze whether people will pay more for an ultra-premium iPhone that Apple is rumored to be working on. Perhaps it makes sense considering that the current iPad Pro is really just an ultra-premium iPad. We also discuss new immersive content for the Apple Vision Pro, updates to Shazam!, the past and future of Atari and Intellivision, and much more.
In our In the Know segment, Brett and I each pick one of the great tips in a recent Wirecutter article on top iPhone tips. Brett discusses using the Files app to remove a background from a photo, and I share a tip for taking photos in Burst mode that had been right there in the Camera app for who knows how long but I never saw it.
