John Ternus is now Apple’s CEO, and his first big move will be leading Apple’s announcement of the new iPhone on September 9th. We begin this week’s episode of the podcast by discussing what might change at Apple with Ternus in charge, as well as what Apple may announce on September 9th. We also talk about the advantages and compromises of the iPhone Air and the iPad mini, and how they offer some insight into the (expected) upcoming folding iPhone—which may or may not be called the iPhone Ultra. We also talk about some new features coming in iOS 27, putting a driver’s license in an OK Apple Wallet, wearable devices, and more.
In our In the Vision segment, we discuss Apple’s immersive baseball games and surgeons using the Apple Vision Pro.
In our In the Show segment, we discuss old and new movies that just came to Apple TV. (By the way, my son and I watched the new movie Mayday last night, and we both enjoyed it.)
In our In the Know segment, Brett shares a tip for bringing your computer or iPad back to the early 1990s, and I discuss music videos in Apple Music.

I have started to develop arthritis in my hands and when I used an iPhone Air (belonged to a good friend) it was delightful. Seemed to be much less pain associated with using the iPhone. I’d have an iPhone Air for daily use if I didn’t rely on the camera on my iPhone 16 ProMax so much including for work (attorney). I doubt Apple will ever market the iPhone as “good for arthritis” because it seems that would likely be turn off for a large segment of their customers.
How interesting, Trey! I haven’t heard anyone talk about that benefit before. Fascinating.

i find the weight of my iPhone 16 ProMax often causes pain in my hands when I’m using my thumbs to type or reach for an app. It seems to be a combination of the weight plus the hand and finger movement.
Just picking the iPhone up and manipulating it (for lack of a better word) frequently causes my hands to hurt. I did not notice pain when using the iPhone Air. Granted, I use my friend’s iPhone Air infrequently but the relief for my hands and fingers seems immediate.
