Like many of you, Brett Burney and I are wondering what Apple will announce on Tuesday. As we look for hidden meaning in Apple’s invitation to that event, we look at prior invitations and the hidden messages that were sometimes contained in them. After that vigorous Kremlinology, we discuss ways that the upcoming iOS 26 can protect your privacy, the new iPad app from Instagram that was 15 years in the making, the new app from I’m-not-practicing-law-anymore-and-the-rest-of-us-are-a-little-jealous David Sparks, AirPods and Find My, spreadsheets, internet outages, taking a break from the iPhone, Apple Arcade, and more. We also discuss the Apple Vision Pro, CarPlay Ultra, and the upcoming new season of Slow Horses.
In our In the Know segment, Brett talks about installing and uninstalling iOS betas. I provide tips for coming up with good names for the objects in your home–at least, the ones that are connected to smart home devices. If you want to give cute names to any other objects, you are on your own.
