iOS 18.1 will be available in just a few days, so Brett and I begin this week’s episode of the In the News podcast talking about what you should look out for when you install the update. For example, if you have an AirPods Pro 2, you can use the hearing test and hearing aid feature. If you have a modern iPhone or iPad, you can use the first few features that are a part of Apple Intelligence to do things like proofread your writing, remove unwanted things from a picture, use descriptive words to search for photos or create a Memory Movie, improve your notifications, and more. We also discuss initial reviews of the iPad mini, an interesting interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook, nostalgic picture and immersive movies on the Apple Vision Pro, and more.
In our Where Y’at? segment, we discuss (another) example of catching a campaign sign thief using an AirTag.
In our In the Know segment, Brett shares a tip for changing the noise cancellation mode of AirPods, and I explain how you can fix problems with the YouTube app on an Apple TV by updating the software.
