The Weeknd's 'Open Hearts' Immersive Music Experience Launches on Apple Vision Pro

Topics and Links

Summary

In this episode of In Touch with iOS, we dive into the latest developments in the Apple ecosystem, discussing exciting updates across various devices including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the new Vision Pro headset. I'm joined by Jill McKinley, Ben Roethig, and Marty Jencius, each bringing their unique insights as we navigate the tech landscape.

We kick off our conversation with the recent developments in the Apple Vision Pro, focusing on the second beta of Vision OS which has introduced the ultra-wide Mac virtual display feature. The team shares their experiences with the beta updates, highlighting the ease of installation and exploring new functionalities such as spatial editing in Final Cut Pro. Jill and Marty provide their thoughts on how these features can elevate video editing, particularly in the realm of spatial video.

Next, we turn our attention to Apple's latest immersive music experience featuring the artist The Weeknd. Jill shares her firsthand experience with spatial video concepts and how Apple's technology could revolutionize how we consume music content. The discussion shifts to the new features in Final Cut Pro and the potential implications for content creators, especially with the introduction of AI-driven tools for video manipulation.

As we transition to the upcoming iOS 18.2 and its beta versions, we discuss several new features that aim to enhance user experience. The ability to share AirTag locations with trusted contacts, improvements in battery management, and the more powerful capabilities for AirPods are among the highlights. I express enthusiasm about Apple's commitment to accessibility and user empowerment through technology, such as the integration of ChatGPT functionality into AirPods.

The conversation also includes speculation about the next generation of Vision Pro headsets, potential releases in the smart home space, and Apple's dedication to privacy and security. As we discuss Apple's approach to self-repair programs and the implications for user experience, it becomes clear that while DIY repairs might not be for everyone, the availability of genuine parts is a significant step towards consumer empowerment.

We conclude the episode with reflections on the implications of recent news in the streaming landscape, such as Amazon's decision to shut down Freevi and integrate content into Prime Video. This leads to an engaging dialogue about how these changes are reflective of broader industry trends and consumer preferences.

visionOS 2.2 Beta Adds Wide and Ultrawide Modes to Mac Virtual Display

Topics with Links and Summary

In this episode of In Touch with iOS, we dive deep into the latest developments in Apple's ecosystem, guided by our host, Dave Ginsburg, alongside panelists Ben Roethig, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, and a surprise guest, Kelly Guimont. The discussion kicks off with the buzz surrounding the newly released Vision Pro’s Virtual Display features, including the recently added wide and ultra-wide options that have excited beta users. I share my first hands-on experiences with the new functionality, describing how it effectively allows the Vision Pro to function as an external display for Macs, simulating the feel of multiple 4K displays right in your workspace. The enthusiastic reactions from the team, especially those who have been actively testing the features, highlight the potential impact this will have on productivity.

As we transition to upcoming accessories, we explore Belkin's newly launched travel case for the Vision Pro. At a more accessible price point than Apple's offerings, the Belkin case has generated positive feedback for its quality and design. Marty shares personal insights on headset cases and which options he prefers for travel, suggesting practical solutions tailored to frequent travelers.

The conversation shifts gears as we touch on the recent changes in Apple’s retail strategy for the Vision Pro demo areas. In light of some reports suggesting a slowdown in sales, Apple appears to be consolidating display setups in local stores. We analyze the implications of such a shift, especially in busy urban markets versus smaller retail locations, and the overall customer engagement in-store.

Shifting our focus back to software, we discuss the features introduced with the iOS 18.2 beta, such as enhanced support for image manipulation with Genmoji and the integrations with ChatGPT. The initial impressions emerge—while amusing, these features still feel like they are in infancy, and genuine utility might take a while to be realized. We recount hilarious attempts at generating images and the peculiar outputs they yielded, underscoring the quirks of AI-driven technology.

The discussion spins back to hardware with news of the M4 Mac Minis hitting stores, and I share my excitement over my reservation for the M4 Pro variant. Together with insights from various team members who plan to upgrade their machines, we reflect on the remarkable performance benchmarks and versatility of these new devices. Marty enthusiastically details the specs of his new setup while also expressing the anticipation for the next level—potentially the M4 Ultra.

In light of Apple's recent shifts in trading values and end-of-life decisions surrounding older models, we also talk about ongoing debates regarding Apple Watch features and the return of key functionalities in newer models. As we explore the collaborative tension between Apple and companies like Masimo, we emphasize the urgent need for resolution so that consumers could benefit from fully functional devices.

A lively dialogue ensues about GM's controversial decision to phase out CarPlay in favor of its in-house software system. The panel fiercely debates the consumer implications of this move and stresses the importance of software integration in modern vehicles, highlighting that the prevailing consumer preference lies firmly with established ecosystems like Apple’s.

As we wrap up, I offer my thoughts on the evolving nature of streaming services and the industry's crackdown on password sharing, allowing insights into how that could shape user behaviors moving forward. The discussion ends with heartfelt nostalgia as we remember Elwood Edwards, the voice of AOL's iconic "You've Got Mail," highlighting the lasting impact of technology on our lives even as it evolves.

Vision Pro’s first scripted immersive film is coming this week, here’s the trailer

Summary

In this episode of In Touch with iOS, we delve into the latest developments in Apple technology, specifically focusing on the Vision Pro and the upcoming iOS updates. I’m joined by guests Guy Serle, Ben Roethig, and Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet and together we dissect the nuances and impacts of these updates.

We kick things off by discussing the recent release of Vision Pro 2.1, the fourth beta update for developers. Both Guy and I notice that the update seems to be lacking significant visible changes. We speculate on the upcoming Mac virtual display support for MLB and MLS games while also acknowledging the essential fixes that the update addresses. Eric, a fellow developer, has opted to roll back to the public beta due to personal usability concerns, exemplifying a trend amongst beta testers.

Next, we pivot to the implications of the recent release of Apple's first scripted immersive film, "The Submerged," which promises a unique storytelling experience leveraging the capabilities of the Vision Pro. Although none of us had the opportunity to experience it firsthand, we express excitement about its potential and the importance of regular content updates to retain user engagement.

As we transition into our discussion on iOS updates, we emphasize the need for listeners to update to iOS 18.0.1 due to critical bug fixes and security patches. Guy shares his experience with the touchscreen issues on the iPhone 16 models, while I confess my decision to remain on the beta track despite some drawbacks. Our conversation naturally evolves into the new features awaiting users in iOS 18.1, including enhancements to Siri's functionality and new tools for spell-checking and grammar.

We also dissect the introduction of wired Xbox controller support in the latest macOS and iOS versions, discussing its significance for gaming enthusiasts. From there, we explore Apple's move toward integrating Apple TV+ into the Amazon Prime Video ecosystem. This highlights Apple's strategy of reaching a broader audience and streamlining access to its content, a move that both Ben and I agree is vital for sustaining Apple TV+ growth.

The episode’s discourse doesn't shy away from the implications of new features such as satellite messaging capabilities in iOS 18, designed to enhance communication in remote areas. This feature, which allows users to send messages without a traditional cellular connection, sparks a thoughtful debate on the practical applications and potential overuse of such a technology during non-emergency situations.

In the latter half of the episode, we touch on the retirement of long-time Apple executive Dan Riccio, reflecting on his contributions and the future of Vision Pro development under Mike Rockwell's leadership. Our conversation culminates with a rundown of compelling Apple TV+ series, including the upcoming season of "Shrinking," and the ongoing impact of shows like "Ted Lasso" and "Slow Horses," highlighting how these productions may shape the conversation around Apple's television strategy.

This episode is filled with engaging insights and practical advice on how listeners can leverage the latest Apple technologies while contemplating the future direction of the company and its myriad services. We finish by encouraging our audience to stay connected and share their thoughts as we navigate this expansive technological landscape together.

The team covers a plethora of topics ranging from the recent updates to various Apple devices, to explorations of beta software and new features introduced in iOS and watchOS.

Starting off, we discuss the latest updates regarding Vision Pro, including a minor software fix that addresses a Safari YouTube issue and other improvements aimed at enhancing the overall user experience.

How to Downgrade from iOS 18 Back to iOS 17

Summary

A portion of our discussion is dedicated to the Apple Vision Pro, as both Marty and I have recently acquired these headsets. We share anecdotes about learning their controls, particularly the elusive Control Center, and how our user experiences have evolved over the weeks. I touch upon the challenges I've faced with eye movement in navigation, and Marty echoes my sentiments, highlighting the adjustment process as we become more accustomed to the device's capabilities. We also compare impressions of the Vision OS beta updates, anticipating the evolution of features such as multi-view support and improved screen sharing.

Switching gears, we discuss iOS 18.0.1, which is currently in testing to address touchscreen issues experienced by some users, including both the iPhone 16 and older models. Personal anecdotes about issues with responsiveness lead to a broader conversation about the way major updates can impact the user experience, especially with updates introduced during peak device usage.

As we shift focus, we highlight the impressive advancements of the iPhone 16 lineup. With the Pro and Pro Max models offering a host of enhanced features, we delve into comparisons such as materials, screen sizes, and camera capabilities, emphasizing the increased value the Pro models bring, especially for photography enthusiasts. The camera control button is a standout feature; we share how it streamlines photography by providing immediate access to the camera app and controls.

We also celebrate the recent updates to AirPods, particularly the introduction of the AirPods 4, which feature sound isolation. Our excitement is palpable as we discuss their potential impact on daily life and how they complement the expanding ecosystem of Apple products. I share my anticipation of taking these on a flight soon to compare their performance against my Pro models.

Moving beyond hardware, we dive into Apple Music's classical update, which enriches the listening experience with detailed album booklets and artist biographies. The exclusion of a Mac app for this service reignites frustration, especially from those of us who routinely listen to classical music while working. We collectively ponder the necessity for Apple to enhance its offerings across platforms.

Lastly, we share a lighthearted moment while recounting Tim Cook’s recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where they discussed the new iPhone 16. The playful banter and Cook’s insights into Apple’s retail philosophy bring a fun closing to our tech-heavy episode.

As we wrap up, we invite listeners to share their experiences and thoughts on the products discussed. Overall, this episode encapsulates the thrill of the Apple community as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, reflecting on both personal experiences and broader industry trends.

iOS 18.1 Beta 4 Expands Phone Call Recording and Transcribing to Select Older iPhone Models

Summary

I dive deep into the updates and features of various Apple devices, focusing heavily on iOS 18 and the ongoing iOS beta releases. It’s great to have Guy Searle, Marty Gentius, and Jeff Gammon join me to discuss everything from the latest beta updates to the anticipated iPhone 16 releases.

We kick off the episode by discussing the release of iOS 18.1 beta 4 and MacOS Sequoia 15.1, which has many users excited about Apple intelligence features that were not included in the initial iOS 18 release. The anticipation for these AI-powered capabilities is palpable, especially among developers and enthusiasts who want to see how Apple will improve text handling and voice recognition through updates like the revamped Siri interface.

Marty shares his experiences with running the beta, highlighting some underwhelming aspects of Apple intelligence, while we all voice the consensus that some features still feel “early-stage.” We also discuss public access to the 18.1 beta and caution users against installing it on production devices, reminding listeners of the potential instability that often accompanies beta software. Of particular interest is the integration of AI features like improved spell-checking, grammar corrections, and enhanced user input methods.

Transitioning into discussions on Vision Pro, I share my experiences with the device over the last two weeks. We cover the recent updates to Vision OS 2, including enhanced response times and new guest modes for easier use by family and friends. Guy and Marty contribute insights about the evolving app landscape for Vision Pro, connecting it to broader trends in VR and AR technology, as well as user adoption challenges associated with high-cost devices.

From there, we dive into the excitement surrounding the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro's upcoming release. There’s an electric buzz in the conversation as we discuss the features of the new devices, especially the ease of repairs highlighted in Apple's communications. With the iPhone 16, we see a shift where repairability is finally being addressed, paving the way for sustainable practices in tech.

As we discuss some of the risks of being an early adopter, especially with iOS 18, I present a series of the most exciting new features we can expect to see with the OS, including the revamped Control Center, RCS support for smoother communication integration across devices, customizable home screen widgets, and enhancements to the calculator app. Each feature seems to represent a significant leap in usability and user experience.

Throughout the episode, we also touch on new security features, including the ability to lock apps and hide them for enhanced privacy, which is especially useful for sensitive applications. The Passwords app is also discussed, with a consensus that while it may not replace niche solutions like 1Password, it provides a solid and user-friendly option for the average person looking to manage their passwords effectively.

In a lighter vein, we wrap up our conversations about the sports app updates and the implications for streaming sports, discussing the rising costs and complications that often frustrate sports fans. Jeff vocalizes common grievances about the fragmentation of sports streaming services, while we all acknowledge the challenges ahead for sports enthusiasts trying to navigate this landscape.

As we conclude, we emphasize how each update and new feature ultimately aims to enhance user experiences across Apple’s ecosystem. It’s a thrilling time for tech enthusiasts, and we’re excited to see how these updates will transform the ways we interact with our devices.

Show Summary

In this episode of In Touch with iOS, we delve deep into the recent Apple event where key announcements regarding the iPhone 16 lineup and the latest Apple Watch were unveiled. Joined by regulars Guy Serle, Chuck Joiner, Jeff Gamet, and Marty Jencius, we interchange thoughts and opinions on the significant advancements and features introduced in Apple's latest hardware.

We kick off by discussing iOS 18 and the release candidates for both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, noting the upcoming launch despite having installed the beta versions. Marty shares insights from his early experience with the beta, describing some subtle changes he's noticed, while others like Jeff voice their skepticism about the beta program, encouraging users to approach beta software cautiously, particularly on primary devices. The conversation transitions into the newly announced iPhone 16 models, with both Guy and Chuck contemplating their upgrade options. Interesting features discussed include the new action button and advanced camera controls that come with the new models, as well as the impressive performance boost from the new A18 chip.

As we dive deeper into the iPhone 16 specifications, we explore the pros and cons of the Pro and Pro Max versions, particularly around the stunning new camera technology including improved sensor sizes and capabilities. Our group debates the practicalities and whether enhanced features justify the upgrades, especially contemplating if it’s worth moving from existing models like the iPhone 12 or 13.

The discussion then shifts to the Apple Watch, where we touch on the Series 10's new design, performance enhancements, and exciting battery improvements. The group reflects on whether Apple should have refreshed the Ultra and SE models or if this is a sign that they're taking a more focused marketing approach. The new Apple Watch’s features prompt discussions around personal lifestyle needs and preferences, and how the market has evolved since the Watch's inception.

Moving on to other product updates, we discuss the refreshed AirPods 4, talking about the introduction of USB-C and the potential of the new hearing aid functions in the AirPods Pro 2. There's a shared sense of curiosity about how these features could disrupt the hearing aid market.

Additionally, the episode highlights some important news surrounding Goldman Sachs' collaboration with Apple regarding the Apple Card, with concerns surrounding their financial viability. The lengthy discussion about Apple Mail also sheds light on its perceived limitations and how even with new features in iOS 18, it might not sway users from better third-party email clients.

Finally,Dave now has a Vision Pro and gives his first impressions after 4 days of use. its exciting software updates, generating a tease of curiosity among the group about how this device may shape future interactions and integrations with existing Apple ecosystems. Overall, the episode is filled with insightful conversations and thoughtful reflections on how Apple's recent announcements may influence our tech lives going forward.

I'm joined by experts Kelly Guimpnt, Ben Roethjig, Jeff Gamet, and Marty Jencius, each bringing their insights and enthusiasm for all things Apple.

We kick off the episode by discussing the current state of beta testing for iOS 18, noting its progression towards completion and the anticipated launch at the close of the month. Each panelist shares their experiences with the latest beta features, from enhanced customization options to the joys and quirks of the Music app updates. Our resident beta tester offers valuable tips, emphasizing the importance of providing feedback to developers during testing to ensure a smooth final rollout.

As we transition into product speculation for the upcoming Apple event on September 9, we explore the likely unveilings, including the much-anticipated iPhone 16 lineup, Apple Watch updates, and possibly new AirPods. We engage in a lively discussion on what we hope to see from the Apple event, with varying opinions on whether the iPhone mini will be making a return and what exciting features the Apple Watch might include this year.

In addition to our product predictions, we also address the introduction of Bluetooth 6, discussing its potential impact on Apple's precision-finding capabilities and how it might revolutionize the way users interact with their devices. Kelly raises a crucial point about the slow adoption of new technologies and how it might affect users in the short term.

The episode takes a lighter turn when we explore a fascinating new use case for AirTags, where a California woman creatively employed the device to track down package thieves.

320 - You Cannot Procreate with AI on your iPad Aug 24, 2024

In this episode of *In Touch with iOS*, hosted by Dave Ginsburg, we dive deep into the latest developments in the Apple ecosystem with a riveting group of panelists, including Chuck Joiner, Ben Roethig, Marty Jencius, and Jeff Gamet. The discussion kicks off with a comprehensive overview of recent iOS betas and their features, particularly iOS 18 and its upcoming enhancements. As we navigate through the various beta updates, we share our experiences, dissecting significant improvements like the new phone call recording capabilities and the refined Apple Maps with hiking routes. We then shift our focus to exciting new services, such as the recently launched Apple Podcasts on the web, exploring its features and potential impacts on the podcasting community. Our panelists weigh in on the accessibility of podcasts without needing an app, acknowledging the service's significance in expanding Apple’s reach within the audio content space. This naturally leads to a discussion on the implications of features like transcripts, emphasizing their importance for accessibility in podcasting. A thought-provoking conversation emerges surrounding Procreate's decision to refrain from integrating generative AI into its illustration app. Jeff offers a passionate defense of this stance, arguing that while AI can serve valuable roles as an assistant in the creative process, it should not overshadow human artistry. This leads us to touch upon industry trends with generative AI, paralleling its use in creative tools versus its potential to diminish originality. As we meander through the information superhighway, we also address the ongoing conversation about Apple’s services landscape, with iCloud being named the most popular among users. The discussion delves into the transformative effect of services like AppleCare and their adoption, exploring the psychological factors that drive users to invest in Apple’s safeguard for their devices. Towards the end of the episode, we collectively lament the sometimes convoluted and glitch-prone firmware update experiences for both AirPods and Beats devices. We identify the disparity between user experiences on iOS versus Android, articulating a call for Apple to streamline processes to make things less opaque for users who might not share our technical savvy. This episode serves as both an educational session and an engaging dialogue for anyone interested in Apple technology's latest trends, updates, and debates. The camaraderie among the panelists sets a lively tone as we unpack each topic, making for a rich listening experience for our audience. Tune in for a deep dive into the evolving landscape of Apple technology and user experiences!

Everything New in iOS 18.1 Beta 2 and iOS 18 Beta 6

Topics and Summary

In this episode of In Touch With iOS, we dive deep into the latest advancements in Apple's ecosystem, with a focus on the recent beta releases of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1. I'm joined by guest Jill McKinley and Marty Jencius, along with Jeff Gamet. Together, we explore the new features, enhancements, and our experiences with Apple’s latest offerings.

We kick off our discussion by examining the newly seeded developer betas, which bring exciting updates for iPhone and iPad users. The introduction of Apple intelligence garners significant attention, and we all share our first impressions. Jill shares her experience with running the beta on her iPad, discussing features like photo customization and AI email summarization. Marty and I chime in, expressing our enthusiasm for the potential of Apple intelligence, albeit with the recognition that there’s still room for improvement.

The conversation then shifts to the upcoming Apple event, anticipated to showcase new products as well as the official release of iOS 18. We speculate on the timing of the event and the chances of seeing new MacBook Pros with M4 processors. We also touch on the beta features for macOS Sequoia, watchOS, and tvOS, reflecting on what they could mean for users interested in multi-device setups.

Next, we move into a topic that caught our interest: the ever-evolving world of VPNs on mobile devices. I share insights into the growing importance of VPN usage, especially when on public Wi-Fi networks. We break down some popular VPN options, discussing their differences and what makes them favorable for privacy-conscious users. Jill and Jeff contribute their thoughts on past experiences, while also emphasizing the need for reliability and security when browsing.

Shifting topics, we explore the surprising popularity of the Apple Watch Ultra among consumers and the intriguing statistics shared about its sales performance compared to the Apple Watch SE. As an avid Apple Watch user, I voice my own experiences and temptations to upgrade, while Jill and Jeff discuss their preferences and needs when it comes to wearable technology. We all agree that understanding user experiences will be critical as new models are introduced.

As we continue, we discuss Apple’s much-anticipated tabletop robotic home device rumored for a future release in 2026, which could revolutionize home automation. The idea of a device that combines functionalities of an iPad, video conferencing, and home management is captivating, though we collectively express skepticism about its necessity given current technology.

Finally, we cover Apple's recent move to open up Apple Maps for Firefox users, highlighting the importance of accessibility across various platforms. As we reflect on Apple's decisions surrounding these features, we conclude that their goal is to democratize access while maintaining quality.

Throughout the episode, we engage with listener comments and share additional insights, all while bringing in anecdotes and experiences that enrich our discussions. Whether discussing new technology, personal preferences, or industry trends, this episode is packed with valuable information and lively conversation. Don't miss our wrap-up, where we encourage everyone to join us live next week for more engaging discussions about Apple and its ecosystem.

I, for one, will miss the Apple Music voice plan. I drive around all day, and it fits my needs perfectly. What’s more, it’s less than half the price of the traditional Apple Music plan.I really enjoy your show. It’s especially nice when Jeff Gammon and Kelly Guimont are on. I used to listen to the daily show on TMO, until it was abruptly ended, so it’s particularly nice to hear their voices. One of these days I’ll listen to your show live.

“Honestly, the USB-C connector should have been introduced to the iPhone with the iPhone X. Apple having basically different connectors that do the same thing on the iPhone and Mac for almost a decade is kinda strange. It also would have allowed Apple to dictate cable standards like they're doing with wireless charging with Magsafe forming the basis for Qi 2”

The first iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007. We discuss this anniversary and what the future holds for iPhone.

Lets see what ChatGPT says about this anniversary. This highly anticipated device, developed by Apple Inc., revolutionized the mobile phone industry and set a new standard for smartphones. The release of the original iPhone marked the beginning of a new era in mobile technology, combining a sleek design with a multi-touch interface and introducing the concept of mobile applications. With its groundbreaking features, such as web browsing, email functionality, and a built-in iPod, the iPhone quickly captured the imagination of consumers worldwide. The launch of the first iPhone paved the way for subsequent generations of smartphones, fundamentally changing the way people communicate, access information, and interact with technology.

Is this a new way to use satellite SOS? The Motorola Defy Satellite Link is a keychain sized device that provides Satellite connectivity plus SOS. SOS in the iPhone is only available in emergencies; this can give you connections for text and check-ins.

208 - Stage Manager for iPad Is Not for Everyone - With Guest Guy Serle Jun 18, 2022

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave and Warren they are joined by guest Guy Serle. Stage Manager is a great new feature for multitasking on the iPad in iPadOS 16 it won’t work on any iPad below M1 processor so 2 year old iPads will not get full experience and many are unhappy. The EU wants to force USB-C on all mobile devices and Apple may need to retire the lightning connector which is over 10 years old. tvOS actually has some new features which Apple rarely offers. Sherlocked apps are a thing and Reincubate makers of Camo Studio using iPhone as webcam add some great new features with overlays and lower thirds. Plus much more.

Beta this week. iOS 15.6 Beta 3 was released. Apple Seeds Third Betas of iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 to Developers

We are on week 2 of Beta iOS 16 for developers. Also HomePod Software 16 will be available to public beta users for the first time there are some new features in iOS 16 that I was pleasantly surprised to find. When you type a temperature in Celsius it will automatically bring up a conversion to fahrenheit and kelvin. This was in the messages app it should apply to other apps. Same applies to time zones type in a time with a time zone in messages it will give you the local time for the recipient.

We talk about more WWDC 22 announcements and items that were not reviewed during the event and other topics this week.

Stage Manager controversy won’t go away: A lot of people with slightly older, non-M1 iPad are NOT happy that Stage Manager is limited to M1 iPads. Apple claims that older models (non M1 iPads) won’t be able to offer the “Full Experience” for a variety of reasons like faster internal storage and more RAM. Some fire back,“ then make it less capable for older iPads” which is not something Apple is likely to do.

With this we are starting to see cracks in the Intel/M-Series Processor divide with some features now pretty much M-series only, leaving still quite capable Macs in the rear view mirror. Live Captions in FaceTime, Sidecar with Reference mode only for M-series Macs and M1 iPads, and Emoji Support in Dictation Mode

Stage Manager controversy won't go away, and Apple can still fix it

iPadOS 16 code confirms Apple has internal mode to enable Stage Manager on older iPads

The European Union will be mandating that all devices must have USB-C as their connector. Our friend Andrew Orr did a piece on Lightning versus USB-C: Pros and cons for the iPhone

Sherlocked apps will they recover? Dave reached out to Reincubate the makers of Camo Studio and the current iOS app was crashing on iOS 16. Happy to report that Camo now with version 1.6.6 fixes some bugs but best of all it doesn’t crash on iOS 16 anymore. But then they have a plan to stay relevant as do other apps. https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/16/sherlocked-apps/

Drag Apps From Spotlight to Home Screen

Save Multiple Web Images to Your Photo Album

In ‌iOS 15‌, Apple gives users the ability to drag and drop images, text, files, and more across apps on ‌iPhone‌. In many apps, you can drag a single item with one finger, and while dragging, select additional items by tapping them with another finger. The selected items move together and appear stacked beneath the finger that's dragging the original item. You can then drag the items as a group and drop them into another app.

Disable Badge App Notifications

App badge notifications can be disabled when users are in Do Not Disturb or "Focus" mode. Go to Settings -> Focus, and choose either Do Not Disturb or any of the other Focus modes listed. Then under "Options," select ‌Home Screen‌ and turn on the switch next to Hide Notification Badges.

Tips

Here are some iOS15 tips this week,

Custom Text Size Per App

Make sure to add text size to the Control center. Settings > Control Center and add Text size.

To set the text size in each app individually or all apps, open an app like Notes and goto the Control Center open Text Size and you can set the size to the individual app.

Copy Links from a Tab Group

in Safari and paste in Notes and other documents. Open the Tabs groups tap Edit on top left. Tap the ellipse next to the group you want to send and select copy. You can then paste it in an email, document, or wherever you want to send this to. I find notes is a good place to create that list of linked tabs.

Text Selection Magnifier

This feature was removed in iOS14 and now its back. Tap anywhere that text appears in emails, messages, notes, to move your cursor. The magnifier pops up with the cursor to see the text and assists you in placing the cursor in position.

Find Your Turned Off iPhone

In the Settings app, tap your ‌Apple ID‌ banner at the top, then select Find My. Make sure the switches next to Find My iPhone and Find My network are turned on. That way, you'll be able to find your ‌iPhone‌ in the Find My app under the Devices tab, even if your ‌iPhone‌ has run out of battery or is turned off.

You know this Message feature you send to your loved ones or friends when you can’t take their call. You can send a message on your iPhone to avoid using the “Sorry, I can’t talk right now”? Go to Settings > Phone, and Respond With Text, then replace one of the existing messages with your own.

Dave is one to listen to news, music, or a podcast as you drift off to sleep? I know I am not alone. Did you know you can have your iPhone stop playing music after a certain time - just set a Timer, choose how long you want your timer to last for, and before you complete, press ‘When Timer Ends’. You can then scroll down to the bottom and select ‘Stop Playing’.

Camera tricks. In iOS 14 Apple changed the camera app where you were able to press and hold the shutter button to take burst shots. Launch the camera app, swipe (do not press) the shutter button to the left and hold and it will take burst shots as many as you want. You can also start a video from the shutter button. Launch the camera app position the iPhone in landscape mode a must for videos and swipe (do not press) the shutter button up or down (or right in portrait position) depending on its position and it records video. Swipe the shutter back and it stops.

Find the Code Reader App. You can search on home screen for it or you can add it to the control center.

Tips

Changing your photo default settings from HEIC to most compatible. Settings > Camera > Formats. Set it to Most Compatible to favor .jpg files. Set it to High Efficiency to favor .heic files. .heic is a new file format for images that is much better in every way than the old .jpg format: it’s smaller, and produces better compression with fewer artifacts. The only reason you might not want to use it is that it hasn’t been implemented by every single service yet, so some places don’t like it and when you find such a place and want to upload a photo there, you’ll have to convert the .heic to a .jpg before you upload.

Dave reviews the GoDonut universal stands for any tablet or smartphone. It works really well with the iPhone and iPad in different positions keeps it upright depending on your needs and gives you a great way to view your device on a desk or any table or maybe while you are cooking. It comes in fun colors and also they offer a 360 degree model that lets you spin in 360 for different positions. It doesn’t support the larger iPad Pro 12.9 model but supports the smaller 11” and smaller models as its not stable with the larger sizes. Although you can use 2 GoDonuts to stand it up. Here are some photos.

Dave also reviews the Ampridge Bluetooth MightyMic for iPhone or iPad. It has Bluetooth 5.0 support and is the size of a thumb drive. I played a demo recording I thought the sound was good. It also supports external mics I tested it with a lapel mic and works really well. The only negative is you cannot use it with the core apps like camera and audio recording but does work as a mic of the phone. The video app Filmic Pro works very well with this mic.

Topics

A side note our discussion on the AirPods Pro Max from last week: here is more info and a comparison to high end headphones from a MacVoices viewer describing comparisons to high end.

Who are the AirPods Max aimed towards? It's the same market or type of consumer that these wireless headphones are aimed at; Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless Copper ($699) DALI‌ IO-6 ($499) Sennheiser RS 195 ($449) Master & Dynamic MW65 ($499) Focal Listen Bluetooth Wireless ($490) With the exception of noise cancellation, what the AirPods Pro Max brings to the table that these other brands don't is the following;

Spatial Audio
Atmos, 7.1 support
Active Noise Cancellation
Transparency mode
Adaptive EQ using mics and sensors
Ear and neck detection
Multiple SoC for extended battery life and computation audio processing
Apple grade pairing
lagless wireless audio, auto switching
the ability to add features, over time, via software updates
So if you're someone that appreciates high-end audio AND tight-integration with the Apple ecosystem, there's a good chance these headphones are for you. As well as there's the fashion angle.

File Management - does the new Files App meet the needs
External Storage is a big plus now that iPad Pro has USB-C port

Beta time Apple released iOS 13.5 beta 2 yesterday it doesn’t seem like there is any real changes and its probably going to be released soon. BTF: last release before iOS14?

Apple announced the iPhone SE yesterday and we discuss our initial thoughts, and where we thing Apple is going with this new mode. AppleCare will be only $79 and we look at comparing with the other models. This is not the SE model of old. BTF: great specs, great price. Still lacking on some of the internals of other iPhones, but a great device to recommend if you prefer TouchID/smaller devices.

Barry has the new 12.9” 2020 iPad Pro and he gives us a review and how he likes it so far.

BTF: key strengths: cursor/trackpad control - for editing documents it has been really handy, especially when using documents in programs such as Pages or Word.

It will become more valuable when I don’t have to take my hand off the keyboard and can ‘thumb’ the trackpad similar to the MacBook Pros. Still, some keyboard commands may be preferred, but having the option makes it all the more powerful.

The AR features are not something that I use too much, but with the AR features on Apple’s websites, it seems much more stable than previous models.

The “measure” app is also more solid.

Dave was lucky enough to receive a Sonos Move speaker for his work anniversary. He has had it a few weeks and is going to give his review.

The Music app added some great new features in iOS 13.1.2 including radio stations and lyrics.

Radio Stations - Apple partnered with the 3 big audio content audio content providers and they have added a number of radio stations around the world with many more added. It works very well with Siri on all devices including HomePod. How does it compare to the Amazon Echo?

Able to stream radio stations from all over the world. This may be more of a general Siri enhancement that is implemented on your Mac and HomePod, but also works in Apple Music on your iOS device.

Lyrics in Apple Music have been vastly improved its Karaoke on Mac and AppleTV too. We talk about this. Karaoke 3rd party app in Apple TV?

Duplicates in Playlists are a thing of the past. Apple Music will tell you if there are dupes in your Playlists and will warn you if you are adding one to a Playlist.

Shuffle and Repeat controls have moved yet again. To find them you have to be on the Now Playing page and in the Up Next section you’ll see the controls for those functions.

Tips and new features in iOS13

One of my favourite features: Files.app

Tap and hold feature in the Mail app. Formatting emails have become so much easier.

Airpods you can now have 2 airpods connected at the same time! Those days of getting a Y adapter connecting them to a headphone jack are over.

Apple TV has some great updates.

Last week, Dave attended the Jamf Nation User Conference where they introduced an amazing, portable classroom called the MATTER Innovation Hub and he got to tour it. Jamf had this converted shipping container sent to Hope School in Haiti where they have no electricity. The classroom is solar-powered and the teachers are able to educate underprivileged students about coding and technology using iPads.

Ohio State University is now issuing iPads to all incoming Freshmen using jamf to set them up.

We are recording from Minneapolis, MN at The Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) which is a user conference mostly for IT professionals in the enterprise, education, and healthcare industries and we are attending as IT pros. But we do talk about their product Jamf Now that can be used by consumers and small business that manages your iOS devices so you have control what happens to them.

Brian has been an Apple guy for a very long time and has owned most of the iPhone models. Upon urging from his son (Also an Apple guy) he decided to buy the Google Pixel 3. Dave discusses with him to find out what his thoughts are about the phone and would he really switch from an iPhone. The answers are going to be surprising. Would you switch? We also talk about WhatsApp a messaging app that helps merge the ease of using messaging between Android and imessage. The link is below in the Apps section.

iPhone Xr review - we discuss the review from the Verge the $250 difference between the new iPhone XR and Apple’s top-of-the-line iPhone XS. It’s the price difference between the XR’s 6.1-inch “Liquid Retina” LCD screen and the 5.8-inch OLED screen on the XS. Apart from the display, the XR and XS are far more similar than not: they share the same A12 Bionic processors, main cameras with Smart HDR, iOS 12, gesture controls, wireless charging capabilities, and even the forthcoming dual-SIM support.

034 Apple Watch and iPhones in September Sep 13, 2018

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Well, you will because that’s when new iPhones will be available! Apple Watch aims to help us when we’ve fallen down and can’t get up. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com  

Recap of Apple Event Announcements from September 12th Apple eats a bit of “humble pie” in the opening film to their “Gather Round” event which is a spoof on Mission Impossible. They know they haven’t been able to keep their product announcements so secret anymore, so they made it look as though there was going to be some really extra special super secret product in a briefcase and it turned out to be...well, you can watch it here: September Keynote 2018 — Opening Film and view all of the announcements here.

This keynote was especially polished. The opening graphic as Tim Cook walked out on stage was that of a rose gold circle to represent the architectural design of their new digs. Throughout the event, you see that circle design prominently featured on product close-ups like the back of the new Apple Watch and on the single camera of the iPhone XR. They’re really emphasizing soft and curvy edges.

Apple Watch Series 4 was announced first with even more health features including the built-in ability to take an ECG (electrocardiogram) and Fall Detection. The digital crown now has haptic feedback when turned and the surface of it is a sensor where you place your finger to take an ECG. The speakers have been improved and the microphone was moved to the other side to make using Siri more effective. There are two hardware configurations available in two sizes. The entry-level aluminum 40mm GPS model starts at $399. For an additional $100 you can get the GPS + Cellular model and leave your iPhone at home. Add on $30 more for an additional 4 mm of watch to get the 44mm if you like to live large. Upgrading the bands or case material to stainless steel adds to the price and overall fashion statement you can make with an Apple Watch. It should be noted that you will be able to use all of your existing bands with the new hardware. Here is a link to Apple’s shopping page where you can experiment with combinations to find the right Apple Watch for you or someone special. You can also still get Apple Watch Series 3 which is now down to $279 for the base aluminum GPS model. Adding cellular costs $100 more plus whatever your carrier charges you per month for that ability.

Earth Wind and Fire Watch Faces In addition to Earth, we’ll now have “Wind” (in the form of “vapor” and “breathe”) and Fire watch faces from which to choose.

Here are four new watch faces coming to existing Apple Watches with watchOS 5 — 9 to 5 Mac watchOS 5 is coming to an Apple Watch near you on September 17th and it’s available on all models except the “Series 0.” Here is Apple’s complete watchOS Feature Availability listing.

Good Things Come in Threes Including New iPhones There are now three new iPhone offerings in addition to all the previous models still available. There’s now more choice than ever before with a price point and form factor for just about anyone. Despite all the hardware offerings available, by making iOS 12 available on 28 models of iPhone and iPad going back the span of FIVE years, we still can’t really call Apple’s device lineup “fragmented” because of how they are managed and updated so elegantly. Each base price begins at the 64GB size which has become the sweet spot of hard drive sizes for the budget-minded and storage-conservative users. Even the beloved iPhone SE is still available in 32GB for $349 at authorized resellers for comparison on the low-end and even more budget-friendly.

iPhone XS 5.8 inch display $999 and iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch display $1099 — both are available in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold finishes.

iPhone XR 6.1 inch display $749 is the “budget” model of this year’s lineup. It’s a vast improvement on the iPhone 5c from the last time they designed a “fun” phone. (Preordering begins October 19th at 12:01 PDT) It is available in White, (PRODUCT)RED, Coral, Yellow, Blue, and Black finishes. We Spent Some Time With Apple’s Colorful iPhone XR. Here’s What You Should Know — Time

Melissa’s Budgeting Breakdown When iPhone 8 Plus came out, it was $799 which is $50 more than what iPhone XR costs now. If you’re in need of an upgrade and are on the fence between the now $699 iPhone 8 Plus yet really want the iPhone X experience, consider that for $50 more, iPhone XR has a faster chip and Face ID. It’s also a smaller, more pocketable form factor with a slightly larger display so there’s no sacrifice there. While it only has a single camera system, it’s still capable of snapping pictures that feature Portrait mode and Depth Control. You’d be sacrificing telephoto and wide-angle capabilities of iPhone XS, so if you’re a traveler or birdwatcher, you may not want to lose out on those features. There is no 3D Touch, but many would argue it’s an underused and underappreciated feature that may end up being replaced with Haptic touch in the future anyhow. There’s also no need to be concerned about picking out a black or white front with that edge to edge screen. If you’re trying to decide between iPhone XR and iPhone XS, an extra $250 ($999 iPhone XS compared to $749 iPhone XR) will get you:

Best camera to date: wide angle and telephoto vs single camera
Best display to date: 6.5 inch Super Retina HD (OLED) vs 6.1 inch Liquid Retina HD (LED)
One additional meter of water resistance depth (2m vs 1m)
Even longer battery life
3D Touch vs Haptic touch

It’s like buying a really good phone but then paying an extra $250 for the luxury and convenience of not also needing to carry a bulkier DSLR camera. You’re actually buying a camera that makes phone calls and enables you to have a mobile office. You have to ask yourself what you want and need in a pocket supercomputer capable of performing actual work tasks vs a camera that makes phone calls vs a phone that takes decent pictures.

$569 iPhone 7 Plus 32GB is still available through Apple unlocked. $349.99 iPhone SE is the lowest priced iPhone at the smallest size of 32 GB. Apple is no longer selling it unlocked from their site so you’ll need to purchase from an authorized reseller now like your cell carrier and know that this model is no longer being manufactured.

I love this reference sketch of different iPhone sizes posted on Twitter by Kate Matthews The Green Report Lisa Jackson’s report on all Apple is doing for the environment and introduces Daisy the Recycling Robot. Apple makes products that last.

Why it’s a big deal that Lisa Jackson spoke at Apple’s iPhone XS event — Cult of Mac

Apple’s new recycling robot Daisy will rip apart iPhones — Cult of Mac HomePod update: Stereo pairing is now available. AirPlay 2 now makes it possible for you to: search for your favorite songs by lyrics, create multiple timers (a long-awaited feature), and make and receive phone calls right from your HomePod. You can now use HomePod to ping your devices to help locate them using Find My iPhone just like you can from your Apple Watch. Siri shortcuts will provide flexibility to more apps coming to the HomePod in the future. AppleCare+ now adds loss and theft prevention

029 WWDC18 Recap Jun 08, 2018

Apple announced many new features during their WWDC18 keynote from this past week. We discuss those and more of what you may want to consider when it’s time to apply the upgrades to iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The upgrades will be released sometime in the coming months, but we want you to be prepared. Tune in for a great discount on a ticket to Macstock 2018! Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com

WWDC Review for iOS 12

iOS 12 Preview — Apple

Apple unveils iOS 12 for iPhone and iPad — 9to5Mac

Performance - Apple said that iOS 12 doubles down on performance. CPU performance now ramps up ‘instantly’ when needed, apps launch 40% faster, keyboard appears 50% sooner and slide to take photo is 70% quicker.
Siri shortcuts & lock-screen suggestions - Apple has long struggled with how to make Siri smarter without storing lots of personal data. Its new approach is to allow us to create our own Siri shortcuts, to access other apps, and to have Siri make proactive suggestions on the lockscreen, for example when it detects that you have started a workout.
Measure app and AR experiences - Almost as soon as ARKit was available, there were a bunch of third-party augmented reality tape measurement apps. Apple has now created its own, able to quickly and easily provide 3D measurements of objects seen by the camera.
Improvements to stock apps - Apple announced improvements to Apple Books, Apple News, Stocks and Voice Memos. Stocks and Voice Memos are also coming to iPad for the first time. The biggest overhaul is to the Books app (renamed from iBooks).
Third-party maps now available in CarPlay - If you prefer Google Maps or Waze to Apple Maps, you can now use those in CarPlay.
Three ways to tackle smartphone addiction - There’s been much talk of smartphone addiction over the past year or so, and Apple has responded with three ways to reduce the temptation to pick up your phone too frequently.1. A Do Not Disturb at Bedtime feature winds down notifications at night.2. Grouped notifications pull together all notifications from each app (for example, all Messages appear together).3. Screen Time allows adults to monitor their phone usage, and parents to set limits for kids.
Memoji personalized avatars - In addition to several new Animoji characters, Apple now allows you to create your own. Known as Memoji, the idea is that you can use a range of facial features – from hairstyle to glasses – to create an Animoji that looks something like you.
iPhone X gestures on iPad - Almost certainly in preparation for a new iPad with reduced bezels and an iPhone X style notch, iOS 12 now allows you to use iPhone X style gestures: swipe-up to return to the home screen, and swipe-down from top-right to open control center.
Face ID now recognizes two faces - While most iPhone X users say they would never want to switch back from Face ID to Touch ID, one complaint is that you can’t register more that one face. That will be even more important when the iPad adopts the technology, so Face ID can now recognize two faces.
Auto-fill of two-factor authentication texts - It’s currently a pain when you get a login code texted and have to exit the app, read the text, memorize or copy the code and then return to the app to type or paste it. iOS 12 spots when a text code has arrived and offers it as an autofill option with no need to exit the app.
Automatic iOS updates - It’s not yet 100% clear how this would work, but a toggle in Settings suggests that you’ll be able to configure your iPhone and iPad to automatically install iOS updates.
Closing iOS apps now easier on the iPhone X - iPhone X users can now quit apps in the same way as on earlier models. Once you’re in the app card view, you can simply swipe up on each app to close it, without the long-press required by iOS 11 on the iPhone X.

How to See Where Apple Tracks You on Your iPhone and iPad — Macobserver

Contacts App Tips: • Begin at: Settings > Contacts

• Enable Siri & Search even if you turn off Siri for voice search because it’s really useful for looking people up on your iPhone to call them just by pulling down on the home screen

• Sort Order & Display Order: pick something and stick to it then change it on all your devices for consistency

• Short Name - helpful if you’re the type of person who uses a lot of nicknames

• My Info - very important to make sure this is set up properly; I see people adding a second contact card for themselves and making a mess of duplicates because of it; setting this up properly with all fields filled out helps to make filling out online forms less of a chore

• Default Account - this means when you create a new card, it will go to this account if you do not specify otherwise

• Another note on importing, iMazing is a handy app to have for importing contacts from an iOS device so you can better organize them on your Mac if you’re helping a family member, friend or colleague to get set up with their first iOS device PSA: Lots of seniors are getting Bluetooth Hearing Aids and some are feeling really disturbed by the phone ringing in their ears. Help your loved ones out with this if it’s become an issue. Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing and make the necessary adjustments.

Tips: Swiping left to delete a conversation or text from your listing of text messages in the Messages app now shows a confirmation message asking, “Would you like to delete this conversation?” and then shows the word Delete in red. This can be annoying for some despite it being there as a feature to protect people from accidentally deleting messages by swiping too quickly. We hope Apple will make this customizable in the future because now it’s just as easy to accidentally mute or “Hide” alerts from people when you didn’t mean to! This Apple Communities discussion explains it in more detail.

It’s not that common, but if ever you have the need to remove all the photos from your iOS device in a snap, The Mac Observer has a handy tutorial here: iOS: How to Quickly Delete All iOS Photos and Videos

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary
This is handy if you’re experiencing an odd problem with the capitalization of wrong words as you type. It could be looking for names in your contacts list that are also words causing them to become automatically capitalized where it should not occur.

Introduction to Contacts app on iOSSettings > Accounts & Passwords

You can have multiple accounts that populate your Contacts listing. Be aware of which have been enabled because it could contribute to duplicates.
Create a separate Apple ID for the sole purpose of sharing a contact list with a partner, family member, or spouse. This way, you can use your main iCloud account for your own professional and personal contacts that are kept separate. Select contacts on a separate iCloud account can be shared and synchronized with those who access that designated account on their devices to collaborate with you. For example, family members will all have the same contact cards for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close friends. If someone changes their address, one family member can edit the card and it will synchronize with everyone else.
Use the right tool for the job. A contact list is not the right tool for managing passwords. Do not store passwords or any important information in your contacts list notes because other apps you use may require access to your contacts database and will upload that information to their servers where a data breach could occur exposing that sensitive information. Use a dedicated password manager instead.
Instead of adding ICE (In Case of Emergency) to names, use the Medical ID feature in the Health app to add emergency contacts. First Responders know how to access the Medical ID from locked iPhones. Teach young children how to access this screen from a locked phone as well. It’s also how they’ll learn where they can dial the local emergency code (9-1-1 in the U.S.)
Use the Favorites list in the Phone app for an easily accessible list of numbers you call most frequently

025 Navigating Safari Apr 20, 2018

Apple's iPhone 'Do Not Disturb While Driving' feature helping to reduce dangerous habits — appleinsider

Messages in iCloud is still slated for a future release. It will likely show up as one of the apps you can toggle on or off in your iCloud settings.

Settings > Safari:

Autofill: We recommend using a password manager and doing the little bit of extra work required to interact with websites that require you to log in. Saving passwords in Safari on iOS is technically secure, but it enables complacency which can lead to insecure human behavior that hackers bank on.

Block Pop-ups: We do not recommend enabling this especially if you log into banking or medical website portals regularly. It has been known to cause those sites to malfunction. If you feel safer with it enabled, be sure you know how to disable it when a website does not respond.

Reading List > Automatically Save Offline: We recommend enabling this feature as it is really useful. If your device is older and has a small hard drive, know that this feature can eat up space over time.

These are some of the Safari tips we discussed: • What is a tab?

• How do you close tabs?

• How do you close multiple tabs at once?

• Can you reorder the tabs into a different sequence?

• Can tabs be searched?

• How to load the desktop version of a website

• Should you use an ad blocker?

• What is Private mode?

• How do you switch between Private mode and “regular” mode?

• How to use Reader View — TheMacMommy

• Customizing the share sheet: We recommend moving 1Password (or your password manager app of choice) to the first spot.

• Find on Page

• Bookmarks vs Reading List and the case for each

• Reading List for articles and saving them for offline access

Wearable Devices

• Use the built-in Now Playing screen on Apple Watch to control playback while listening to podcasts

• Melissa has an iPhone hack for connecting a lanyard to an iPhone case.

Thread a lanyard through the speaker cut-outs on the bottom of an iPhone case so that the iPhone hangs upside down with the glass facing outward. This way, it will be in the correct orientation when you pick up the phone to view the screen or snap a photo.

• Outcast app on your Apple Watch makes it easy to listen to podcasts with just a Bluetooth headset while leaving your iPhone parked somewhere else.

Plan for reduced Apple Watch battery life by downloading podcast episodes ahead of time then charging your watch before leaving to use it. If you don’t have Apple AirPods, the cheaper counterparts are not as easy to pair, so plan on having a set of Bluetooth earpieces that remain paired to your Apple Watch and keep them charged up. Plan on downloading your podcast episodes when you have time to devote to keeping the Apple Watch screen awake. The investment of time needed for getting the podcast episodes to your watch is worth it for how liberating it feels to not have to carry your iPhone around.

• Bluetooth earpiece recommendations:

022 Five Days with HomePod Feb 22, 2018

Dave took one for the team and got himself a HomePod, so we dig deep and discuss why it should or should not be your personal assistant. We discuss apps for managing podcasts, third-party keyboards, spam caller blocking, and camera tweaks. We also cover apps that repurpose your devices in fun ways.

Repurpose Your Old Phone into a Security Camera - The Digital Story

Dave concludes that HomePod is great for those who live fairly exclusively in the Apple ecosystem. If you are an Apple user with a discerning taste for sound, and this will be your first speaker, then go for it! The sound is amazing and the internal microphone recognition is uncontested. Unfortunately, there were more downsides than value for Dave to keep the HomePod. It could not compete with other devices that already suit Dave’s personal assistant needs. There is no Spotify or SiriusXM — it’s Apple Music all the way and will likely remain that way. You can’t make phone calls or manage your calendar from HomePod. As Melissa points out, it really doesn’t seem like it’s a family-friendly product at this time as there are no distinguished voices. While it may currently disappoint on features, the hardware is impeccably crafted giving it great potential to be more than just another assistant in a can. We think HomePod can only get better and we look forward to future iterations.

Melissa discusses her recent presentation at her local Mac Users’ Group on the topic of podcatchers. We will keep evaluating these apps for you, our dear listeners, and report our observations so you can make informed choices.

021 A Little Assistance Please Feb 07, 2018

Home Pod is finally coming to an Apple place near you, but neither Dave nor Melissa plans on getting one anytime soon. That won’t stop us from having some fun with all the virtual assistants we already know and love! We’ll give you some fun ideas to try out when training for your very own virtually assisted lifestyle. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com

Current Software Versions: iOS 11.2.5, watchOS 4.2.2, tvOS 11.2.5 for 4th Gen and later, macOS 10.13.3; Apple TV 3rd Gen is current at 7.2.2. It looks like Apple is still supporting this model somewhat because they pushed the Amazon video app to it.

Welcome to Home Pod — Apple

$349.00 US; available February 9, 2018

Here are some obvious questions about the HomePod — The Verge

Can Apple's HomePod outdo Echo, Google Home? — CNet

David Pogue’s sneak preview of the Apple HomePod — Yahoo! Finance

Virtual Assistants: we can learn to use them better by practicing skills with some tools you may already have:

• Apple TV: practice using the voice search to watch TV

Set up iTunes and Home Sharing so you can use the iTunes Remote app to control sound in your home from different devices. This should hold you over until a Home Pod makes more sense in your home. Other devices that have the iTunes Remote app installed can control audio playback. You can stream audio to different speakers throughout your home when connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Practice and learn spoken commands for using Siri — click the link or just say “Hey Siri, help.” and a list will be presented on your screen with topics

AirPlay - what is it and how do you use it?

Use AirPlay or Screen Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — Apple

Get help with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — Apple

The Apple TV Remote app can be used to control one or more Apple TVs when both the devices and Apple TVs are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Multiple people in the same home and on the same network can control the Apple TV from their device. (You can set it to be locked with a code so that a local prankster can’t hijack the screen.)

Tips: Mirror your iPhone or iPad screen to your Apple TV to:

• share photos you took at an event with the family

• project online course material for a group Phonewise is a course Melissa and her family are currently taking. She shares her iPad screen to her Apple TV so the whole family can watch the videos and engage with the course content.

• use an app like Paper or My blackboard for sketching out your ideas for all to see

Use and customize Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch — Apple

Put a shortcut to the Apple TV remote on your iPhone in the Control Center: Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls > tap the + sign to add Apple TV Remote. (Note: this does not work for Apple TVs prior to the 4th Generation. For older Apple TVs you must still use the app.)

Use Guided Access to lock the user into a single app or for using an iOS device in a kiosk to perform a specific task.

Melissa uses Guided Access as a parenting tool for her young children. She likes the ReColor app as a go-to.

019 Happy New Gear Jan 12, 2018

Dave and Melissa catch up and ring in the new year with some new gear as well as updates to user experiences and operating systems. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com

Silk iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus Wallet Case - VAULT Protective Credit Card Grip Cover - "Wallet Slayer Vol.1"

Apple to Offer $29 iPhone Battery Replacements, More Battery Health Info in iOS — MacRumors 

Apple Releases iOS 11.2.2 With Security Fixes to Address Spectre Vulnerability — MacRumors

Melissa is loving her new iPhone 8 Plus and Portrait Mode in the new camera.

Dave covers High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) 

HEIF is the new image compression technique used by Apple in iOS 11 to reduce the size of photos you capture on your iPhone in a move to conserve storage space. Suppose you have a JPG photo with a 5 MB file size, it will be reduced to 2.6 – 3 MB, as a result of HEIF compression. With this technique, there’s no sacrifice on image quality at all, and that’s probably why Apple decided to implement this in the latest iOS version.

Melissa shares her experience and some considerations to be aware of with iCloud Family Sharing.

Apps & Gear: iMazing HEIC Converter A tiny and free desktop app for Mac and PC which lets you convert Apple's new iOS 11 photos from HEIC to JPG or PNG

018 Adventures in iCloud Dec 07, 2017

It’s been pretty smooth sailing for Dave and his iPhone X, but Melissa went on a fishing expedition with the whole family in iCloud and reeled in a Black Friday deal or two. Notch or no notch, Apple has kept us all very busy applying software patches and spackle across their product line. Lots of growing pains are being smoothed over, so don’t hesitate to apply the latest updates for iOS 11.2, watchOS 4.2, and tvOS 11.2, as well as several macOS updates. If you are curious about getting your whole family connected with iCloud this holiday season, have a listen to this deep dive for some ideas on what’s possible before you attempt to connect accounts or migrate data. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com

Dave has been consistently impressed by Face ID on the new iPhone X. Melissa had some questions last episode about how Face ID works in the dark and our friend Barry has some good resources for helping us all learn more about it:

Apple's New Face ID Biometric System Works in the Dark and When Your Face is Obscured by Hats and Beards — MacRumors

How to "see" the crazy dot map the iPhone X uses to scan your face — iMore

Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals of note were BestBuy’s 2017 iPad sale and Amazon’s digital $100.00 iTunes Gift Card deal. Keep checking your local listings because this is the time of year for those kinds of sales. iTunes Gift Card deals are the best way to reduce your costs on iCloud Storage Plans when you buy it at the yearly price in the form of iTunes credit. Apple will first charge your iTunes Gift Card credit before it charges your credit card on file, so keep it topped up and save with these annual sales.

Melissa’s new 2017 iPad was instrumental in helping to get iCloud Family Sharing set up because it runs iOS 11 which is required for administering a Family Sharing account. Some might view all she went through as a total nightmare, but she sees it as an opportunity to dissect how it all works and what might suit the needs of others.

Apple has a handy Apple Support app where you can get help from the comfort of your couch. They can run a remote diagnostic on your device and advise you on what steps to take in troubleshooting. Melissa recommends taking screenshots along the way to document the information.

017 Resistance is Futile Nov 20, 2017

Dave has an iPhone X and more iOS updates have been released. Melissa wants to know just how stealthy is an iPhone X? Dave demonstrates Animoji and hilarity ensues. It’s soon time for Thanksgiving in the US and that means lots of food followed by lots of shopping. We list apps and websites to check for scoping out the best deals on iOS gear and app sales. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com Direct Link to Audio

It just wouldn’t have been a successful iPhone X launch if Dave had not obtained one for himself on 11/03 so he gives us a full review on how it was purchased and set up. He discusses his change of heart from the iPhone 8 Plus and explains how it does take a little time getting used to no home button and swiping up to close apps. Melissa has lots of questions about the new gestures and the stealthiness of iPhone X as they discuss Face ID vs Touch ID and many other features and comparisons between the two iPhone models.

Animojis are so much fun! Link to Monkey Animoji • iOS 11.1.2 is out, go get it — 9to5 Mac Most fixes are for iPhone X, but it's an update to all devices running iOS

• Apple pushes HomePod release to early 2018 — TechCrunch

• “iPad Pro — What’s a computer?” — Apple

What deals are we hoping to find for Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

• Apple Store app sometimes has deals and give-aways so scroll all the way to the bottom of the Discover area to check them out

• App Store app will likely showcase lots of deals on apps – both reduced pricing and free so be sure to scope out the App Store after eating that big plate of food

• We like checking Amazon for deals on iOS gear

• Square Trade might offer deals on their device insurance plans that may compete with Apple’s AppleCare+

• B&H Photo has an Apple Buying Guide.

• Target has an app to help you scout out their deals on Apple gear

• App Advice is an app with a website for reviewing apps and their sales.

You may also want to check out their Daily App Advice app.

AppZapp Notify helps you find both iOS and Mac apps that have gone on sale or have been updated.

AppShopper.com is a good social sharing website. Their AppShopper Social app hasn’t been updated for iOS 11, but their email newsletter has been helpful.

Check out apps shared by Melissa by viewing her AppShopper user page.
