This week’s episode of the In the News podcast showed up in your podcast player a few hours late due to Brett’s busy travel schedule, but to make up for it, we have a jam-packed episode given all of the news of note this past week. We start with a very brief discussion of the so-called red version of Apple’s Solo Loop band for the Apple Watch, and then we then discuss what Apple will include in the next generation of the iPhone SE, which we expect Apple to announce in just a few days. We then discuss the reports of a truly inane decision by a part of the UK government that would help the bad guys and decrease security and privacy for everyone else; hopefully, sanity will prevail, but that cannot be taken for granted in today’s world. We also discuss T-Mobile’s new program for getting the internet on your iPhone using satellites, my recent review of the Kodak Slide N Scan, the brand new Powerbeats Pro 2 (which looks to be a worthy alternative to the AirPods Pro 2), the new Apple Health Study and what it might mean for future Apple products, a new way to deal with having two Apple Accounts when you really want to have just one, an unexpected place to wear an Apple Watch and the relatively new Titanium Milanese Apple Watch Band, and more.
In our In the Show segment, we discuss the fantastic Apple TV+ show Severance and the new Apple TV+ app for Android.
In our In the Know segment, we provide tips for helping a friend or family member with their iPhone when they are not in the same room as you. Brett discusses the numerous features you can use in FaceTime screen sharing, and I provide a tip for sending someone an annotated screenshot.
