Here are the biggest differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro.

     

    Apple announced a new Mag Safe charger, don’t buy it. Apple finally killed the lightning  cable for all new products.

     

    Apple announced the air Pod 4’s, making the Air Pod product line very confusing. The Air Pod Pro 2’s will be able to replace hearing aids for people with low to moderate hearing loss. Will Air Pods doubling as hearing aids challenge new social norms?

     

    We got the Apple Watch Series 10, and one of us already ordered one. Sleep Apnea detection comes to the new watches.

     

    We got a drop date for iOS 18 on Monday, September 16th, and fortunately Allison and Jeanine have been running the betas. Additionally, Mac OS Sequoia will also be dropping on Monday, but none of us have been beta testing it. Apple will actually allow users to stay on iOS 17 and still get security updates.

     

    And it’s more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

    It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show with the entire gang back together to recap the Apple Glow Time event in a way that only That Real Blind Tech Show can do.

     

    We kick the show off with an exciting upcoming trip by Ed, and as we stumble through our intro Jeanine fills us in on how Aira Audio Described the debate. We then discuss the breaking news right before we recorded of Jon Bon Jovi talking a jumper off of a bridge.

     

    Next we discuss the story of Gen-Z pissing everyone off with their new fad of filming their airport tray’s.  

     

     

    Brian then tells us all about this year’s 17th annual Laugh For Sight NYC at Gotham Comedy Club on Monday, October 28, 2024. For tickets go here. And one of our Hosts will soon have their own swag, hmm, who could it be?

    Not everyone was tuned in to the Apple event as Pornhub’s tracking metrics didn’t drop everywhere during the event.

     

    We then finally get around to discussing the apple Event It’s Glow time. We start off discussing if screen real estate makes a difference for gesture and braille with a lower case b input users. It was only quickly mentioned but could apple Visual Intelligence LookUp only available on the iPhone 16 Pro and up cause a lot of blind people to get new phones? We then discuss the new camera button coming to some of the phones. During the event apple kept pimping out the bigger battery life, so how much bigger is it? Here are the biggest differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro.

     

    Apple announced a new Mag Safe charger, don’t buy it. Apple finally killed the lightning  cable for all new products.

    Episode 161 - Doxing Season, Are You Ready For Some football

    It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show, The Boys style as Brian and Ed are joined by David Goldstein and Nick D’Ambrosio to discuss the fun of playing fantasy football, and offer some helpful hints to those people who have never played fantasy football before and are thinking about playing this upcoming season. We reflect a little on the All Blind Fantasy Football League Mini Documentary.

     

    We talk about yahoo Fantasy and their fantastic accessibility on iOS and Android.

     

    We then let Nick stick around as we discuss an article about cyber hacking and the all time greatest mispronunciation of a specific word that you will have to hear for your own to actually believe!

     

    Is Cable TV road Kill and on the way out?

     

    Will the U.S. government look to break up Google and what would it mean for the consumer? And is Apple next on the Justice Department’s list? We then briefly discuss Pixel phones.

     

    We then continue our conversation from our last episode about Apple Intelligence being more of a concept then a reality. The iPhone 16 is rumored to be getting a new button, why apple, why? Mac OS Sequoia will require regular permission checks when using certain apps. And the E.U. will be forcing Apple to have App Developers provide an address, phone number and email on all paid App Store pages.

     

    Sonos is considering relaunching their old app. On a some what related note, Sonos has laid off another 100 employees.
