This week’s episode of the In the News podcast starts with a discussion of the very practical uses of AI: using it to fix items, thanks to the new app from iFixit, and Apple’s approach to AI which seems to be focused on the slow and steady as opposed to the announcement-of-the-day. Next, we talk about Apple Fitness+: why it it such a nice service, and how it is expanding. We also discuss about tweaking the Messages app, Anker batteries, vapor cooling the iPhone 17 Pro, and more.
In our In the Show segment, we discuss some of the great dramas on Apple, especially the fantastic show Pluribus.
In our In the Know segment, Brett shares a tip for reducing the size of a PDF file on the iPhone or iPad, and I discuss using HomeKit (or Matter) devices to control your holiday lights.
