We are almost a week away from Apple's September 9 new product announcements, so Brett and I begin this week's episode of the In the News podcast by discussing the speculation on what might be included in the 2024 version of the iPhone, including the rumor that there will be a dedicated hardware button for taking pictures. I'm enthusiastic about that possibility, but Brett is worried that it may be one button too many. We also discuss a possible update to the AirPods Max, new spatial videos coming out in just a few days for the Apple Vision Pro, the state of the Apple Books store, digital driver's licenses, and more.
In our Where Y'At? segment, we discuss how one person used an AirPod to track down her child when the school could not find him.
In our In the Know segment, Brett mentions a website that pokes fun at a decision that Apple made many years ago and we discuss why that decision seems to have made sense. I explain how to protect your privacy by limiting what the Lock Screen shows when you get a new email.
