This week’s episode of the In the News podcast was recorded on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, so I share a few thoughts and stories about that to start us off, including some that are quite positive. Next, we look to the future. Specifically, September 9, when Apple will announce the 2025 version of the iPhone along with other new devices. We also discuss the history of Apple’s successful relationship with the advertising folks at TBWA, a reason that AppleCare One may not be for you, using the Invites app to count down the days to an event, a new camera app from Adobe, what to do about the increase in iPhones being inspected by customs agents when anyone enters the United States notwithstanding any confidential information that might be on that device, and how the shutdown of the TypePad service serves as a warning to all of us.
In our In the Show segment, we discuss Apple sharing the excellent show Trying with the BBC and the upcoming Apple TV+ limited series Savant.
In our In the Know segment, Brett shares a fun tip for changing the avatar when you are using the Google Maps app to navigate a route. And I explain what it means when you see a status icon at the top of your iPad that Apple doesn’t identify on its support page devoted to status icons.
