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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Topics and Summary
In this episode, we delve into the latest and greatest in Apple's ecosystem, covering everything from iOS updates to exciting new product predictions ahead of the upcoming Apple event. 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. This leads to an in-depth conversation on the innovative ways users are harnessing technology to tackle everyday problems, as we reminisce about similar past endeavors that blend technology with a bit of humor and cleverness.
As we wrap up, the camaraderie and shared excitement for what's to come in Apple's world shine through. We encourage listeners to stay tuned for more detailed analyses of the Apple event and the impact of new technology on our daily lives in future episodes.
