WWDC is just around the corner. Wouldn’t it be nice if Apple used the occasion to introduce uniformity in the way it numbers its operating systems for different platforms? That is the first topic that Brett Burney and I discuss in this week’s episode of the In the News podcast. We also discuss the very difficult job that Apple—and Tim Cook in particular—has working with an administration that threatens to make iPhones more expensive for consumers if Apple doesn’t do something that is impossible. We also have a follow-up discussion on the new venture between Jony Ive and Sam Altman and discuss some great hidden Apple Watch tips, a great app for folks with multiple Apple Watch bands, Instagram, and more.
In our In the Show segment, we discuss the fascinating new Apple TV+ show featuring Bono and the fan favorite Severance.
In our In the Know segment, Brett shares an Apple Watch tip, and I explain why anyone who enjoys watching TV and movies should check out the Callsheet app.
Finally, a quick programming note: there will be no podcast next week due to vacation schedules, but we will be back in two weeks—on Friday the 13th of June—to discuss everything announced at WWDC during our 200th episode.
