In this week's episode of the In the News podcast, Brett Burney and I start with our Where Y'at? segment. We begin in New Orleans to discuss and show pictures of the historic snow that fell this past Tuesday. Then, the location shifts to Colorado to discuss a program initiated by a police department to give out free AirTags—and related stickers to place on vehicles—in an effort to deter vehicle theft.
We expect to see iOS 18.3 in just a few days, so we next discuss the changes that will bring to your iPhone. Then, we discuss some iPhone time-saving tips, the Vitals app, the future of CarPlay, the future of the Matter and Thread standards, the latest music video from the band OK Go, and more.
In our In the Know segment, Brett discusses the fantastic Modular Ultra watch face that is only available for the Apple Watch Ultra, including the Training Bezel complication. I discuss iPhone battery life in extreme weather, such as when it is really cold.
