Welcome to In The News for May 29th, 2026.

I am Brett Burney from appsinlaw.com.

And this is Jeff Richardson from iPhone JD.

Hello from the beach, Brett.

No, you're Jeff Richardson from a beach.

Look at that behind you.

It looks beautiful.

I wish we could be there in person to record with you because,

well,

I just,

I have,

actually,

it's a pretty nice day in Ohio too, but I'm not at a beach.

We've had a great week for my family today.

It's actually good that there's not much going on in the world of Apple this

week as people get ready for WWDC because we had a big week in our family.

My daughter graduated from high school.

We had all sorts of events for that.

And then we're taking a family beach vacation right here.

So as you can see, we are in Orange Beach, Alabama,

with the beautiful beach behind me.

Hopefully if you're watching the video version on YouTube,

you can see that.

And if you're not, maybe you can hear the waves,

But it is just gorgeous weather out here.

I was not at all sure that we would be able to record a podcast on the beach.

In fact, we're recording on Saturday.

We normally record on Fridays,

of course.

Right.

And yesterday,

apparently there was a power outage in Orange Beach that, like, caused all sorts of issues here.

And one of the effects was that even after the power came back up,

it apparently knocked out some of the routers for the Internet service provider.

And it took them, like, all day to fix it.

And, like, plumbing wasn't – there were all sorts of things.

You know, whatever.

the modern society we live in, we just take it for granted that we have electricity and water

and internet and those things go away.

But everything appears to be up and running today,

fingers crossed.

And I can hear you,

Brett, you can hear me.

So hopefully this will all record

fine. It's quite a setup we got going here.

You're living the dream. You're literally working

while sitting on a beach.

I mean, we'll tell people, I mean, because you're right,

you and I were texting back and forth yesterday. We couldn't get it up. We couldn't have the

reliable internet,

but you're not in your usual office,

which means you don't have access to

your usual computer and setup.

Can we just briefly tell everybody this amazing little setup that you've

got sitting on the,

with a beach behind you?

I'm sort of amazed that this even works.

So we've got,

there you go.

We've got my iPhone,

which has connected to it. One of these road wireless

mics and the things on my shirt here.

So hopefully I hope it does. I want to see how this one here is,

but hopefully we have better quality audio than just the regular built-in microphone and the iPhone.

And then the iPhone is, I've got a glyph on it.

A glyph is one of these things that connect to an iPhone that you can connect it to like a tripod.

So I've got a little portable tripod,

and that wasn't quite high enough.

So I have it sitting on top of, let's see, Monopoly.

I think it's a puzzle and Quirkle.

And Quirkle, exactly.

So three games that we'll be playing with as a family while we're here at the beach.

But the thing is to have my iPhone looking at me,

I would not be able to see you while we're recording.

And so I have also connected to this Zoom video conference two ways, not only through my iPhone,

but also through my iPad.

I guess that works.

Look at that.

And as you can see,

so I've got my iPad.

And then I'm using the, you know, I'm in the mode of the iPad where you have multiple windows multitasking.

And so at the top, normally when I multitask, I have one thing on the left and one thing on the right.

But right now,

it just makes more sense to have the top part zoom so I can see the screen that you'll be showing in the video version of the podcast.

And then at the bottom part, I've got our show notes so I can see what we're talking about.

So I don't know.

There's a whole lot of, you know,

a whole lot of Band-Aids and things going on.

We will see if this records.

But if it does, it's actually pretty cool because, like,

I had my iPhone with me anyway.

I had my iPad with me anyway.

I mean,

add on a couple of things like a tiny little tripod and suddenly you're recording and we're at the beach with the beautiful sun and sand behind me.

So anyway,

pretty cool.

Thank you to the first responders and the technicians at Orange Beach,

Alabama,

for getting the Internet back up and going.

That's pretty amazing that we can still talk.

And that's fun because just barely a week away now,

we are looking forward to the Worldwide Developers Conference hosted by Apple.

This is their annual event that they host for all the developers,

app developers.

That's typically held in person at their Spaceship Campus in Cupertino,

but they've got it all virtual now.

There's many, many sessions throughout the week.

But we are always interested,

which is going to be the week of June 8th.

We are always interested in the kickoff presentation,

typically known as the keynote,

right?

This is going to be one of,

well,

apparently Tim Cook's last keynote as CEO of Apple.

We'll see how the rest of the year goes.

But we always look forward to this because typically this is where we get a lot of tidbits about what's coming into the next version of iOS and macOS and watchOS.

They show off a lot of more software type of stuff as opposed to the hardware presentations.

Although once in a while, we get some nice little surprises that are thrown in there.

But it's really going to be interesting.

I think a lot more eyes are going to be on this than typically like you and me, Jeff, just because what in the world is Apple going to be doing with AI these days?

And that's what a lot of people are asking.

That's right.

There's a couple of times during the calendar year that are sort of like,

you know, Christmas and Christmas Eve for people that love Apple motor product,

Apple mobile products.

One time, of course, is in the fall when Apple comes out with the new iPhones and things.

And that's always fun because,

you know, what's the next iPhone going to be?

I love learning about that.

Although sometimes with the hardware products,

there's more likely to be a leak beforehand as things get very close to production.

But what I love about WWDC is that because it's so focused on software,

that's the stuff that Apple typically keeps very close to the vest.

And so you normally don't have a lot of leaks.

There's usually tons of announcements, and so we can pour over it for months.

The only downside about WWDC is unlike Christmas Eve where you get the presents the next day,

We're seeing in early June what's going to be coming out in the OS in the fall.

Now, you can install the beta versions and get previews of it.

But it's going to be so wide-ranging.

I mean, there's going to be, like you see, the big marquee items,

which we presume is going to be what they're doing with AI.

As we've talked about two years ago, Apple made a lot of AI announcements they did not deliver on.

Last year, they were very cautious about it.

Now they have this relationship with Google Gemini.

I'm thinking that there's going to be some pretty major important AI announcements in just literally a week.

But there's going to be all sorts of other things, too.

There's going to be little features of the camera and of the built-in apps and third-party stuff.

And there's just going to be a ton.

Because as you said, Brett, there is the keynote address,

which is going to be great.

That I'm sure will be an hour and a half or so of Apple announcements.

But then after that, they have a second one called the State of the Union address,

which is really just for developers,

although anybody can watch it.

And that's the really geeky stuff.

And a lot of that stuff goes way over my head because I'm not a computer programmer.

But some parts of it will be cool technologies that developers will be able to play with this summer,

incorporate into their apps.

And so next fall,

not only will the Apple apps be new and improved,

but the third party developer ones will too. So it's just an exciting time of the year.

I really can't wait to find out. It's going to be awesome.

The only story you linked to yesterday on your post on Friday was specifically what people are going to be looking for from iPadOS.

I thought this was actually a great article.

This is Riley Hill from SlatePad.

And I pretty much agree with, I think, everything that Riley says here.

It's like I still want to see some nice improvements into the iPadOS, including even just little things like tabs in the files app.

I just I love these little tiny things that to me,

again,

continue the iPad seeming trajectory to be in more like using a Mac almost.

Yeah. Riley is more of a high end iPad user.

He uses it for lots of stuff.

And so he has like and it makes sense because,

you know,

Apple has done a lot with the iPad over the years.

Some years they do more,

some years less.

I love the multitasking.

And as we just discussed, I'm using it right now.

I've got multiple windows on my screen right now on my iPad,

which works great.

But it would be great to have one more, like, just to pick one that he has is, you know how on a computer,

whether it's a Mac or a PC,

you often do the control tab or the command tab to switch between different.

I use that,

you know,

every day.

I'm sure most of us use it every day.

If you have a keyboard connected to an iPad,

like right now my iPad is in my Magic Keyboard,

I can do a command tab.

And when you do the command tab,

it brings up like a little list of, you're showing on the screen right now, it brings up a list of apps that you can switch to.

But have you noticed this before, Brett,

that sometimes the app you want to switch to is not one of the eight that's on the screen?

And I don't know how it is.

It's like,

you know,

first of all,

show me all of them.

Second of all,

even if you're not going to show me all of them,

like sometimes it doesn't even show one that I feel like I used pretty recently.

The iOS and the iPadOS are often smart enough to give you exactly the app that you want.

You know,

if I swipe down from the top of my screen on my iPhone to launch an app, it will often show me like four apps that it thinks there's a good chance I want to use.

And it's usually pretty good about it.

You know,

like I often will like work out on my treadmill the same time every weekend.

And I often listen to an audio book.

And I've noticed that when I swipe down before I even search for the Audible app,

it's already showing me, do you want to launch Audible?

I'm like, yes, I do.

So the phone and iPad are smart enough on apps.

But when it comes to that little switching thing,

it doesn't seem like it's smart enough.

Again, I think that these are just Riley's wish list.

I don't think he has any little birdies whispering to him.

These are just like kind of and he's got some other high end things, too, like the tabs you talked about.

It's a great list and it's things I would never have thought about.

And then after I saw him mentioned that, I'm like,

oh,

yeah,

I would I would use most of these.

Exactly.

And I feel like the iPad is OS is mature enough of the current version of it.

but sure enough that Apple could start to do just these little bitty edge things to make some of the power users happy.

This is what WWDC often has.

So whether these particular things are implemented or not,

it still makes me excited about like what little tiny little features around the edges are we going to get that make the iPhone and the iPad better?

You know, quickly on this command tab thing with the iPad,

I run into this quite a bit because,

A, the iPad now is so powerful from a hardware perspective

that I can have upwards of 25,

30 apps

that have been running into the background

that I've either launched,

that I haven't closed out.

And so they're there,

they're running in there.

And I know that, yeah,

I might want to switch back to my reader app or so,

but I haven't used it maybe in a couple of days,

but I know it's still open.

If I swipe up from the bottom

and look at all of the apps that are open,

I can see reader.

But if I do command tab,

it's not in that list.

And that's so frustrating

because I want to go to reader.

I know it's open and it's available.

And so if I do command tab and it's not there, then I have to swipe up from the bottom.

I have to see all of my open apps, and then I have to go and slap it.

And I know people are thinking, hey,

that's not that big of a deal, not too much extra work.

But it's like,

yeah, I know, but that's not logical.

It doesn't seem like it works.

If you're making the iPad powerful enough that it can have all of these apps open right now,

because in the past,

we didn't really have this because,

A,

it wasn't as powerful,

and B,

you can only have one app running really at a time.

I mean, full screen,

that is.

But now that you're putting forth the iPad as this powerful and almost comparable to what the Mac can do,

then you've got to make sure that you give us those professional capabilities on there.

And,

you know, again, I know this is just a small percentage of people that this could affect.

But you're right.

That hit a flag, obviously,

in my mind as well when I saw that because I'm like, yeah,

yeah, I do run into this a lot.

And it's extra time and it's more frustration that I just don't need.

Like, you don't need to have that in there.

The iPad can certainly handle that.

And you might as well make sure that it does.

okay now that i'll get off my high horse on that we are excited about wwdc that is june 8th now

uh we'll just let everybody know first of all uh you'll be home from the beach by that time

second of all we we think we're going to record a special um our impressions on what is that

wednesday june 10th so that'll be a couple of days after have you know give us a little time

to percolate on some of those announcements after the keynote presentation well there's going to be

more coming out a lot more people have the impressions but uh you're going to be out next

friday yeah so the our next podcast will be normal time but the one after that will be a very special

that's right coming out early yeah right right right so i'm just letting people know that we're

going to have that and so you can be on on the lookout for that and we are going to be talking

about ai when it comes out uh because we know apple is going to be addressing that we're probably not

going to have pope leo on stage with him yeah when is he going to be our special guest that week

brett he might be we'll see i mean you know hey pope leo has been in the news for some all kinds

of fun reasons he's doing six seven with the kids he's got he's talking about ai anyway i saw this

a lot of people covered the story that um what is this a magnifica humanitas this was a special

thing apparently the pope uh post through the years will uh release some kind of an announcement

on certain topics that are you know hot and heavy for a lot of people in the world and this past

year i mean it was just this past week i think he released this where he was covering his little

manifesto on the use of ai or what it could look forward to and obviously you know there's the

technology pool there it's like we don't talk about pope leo just a whole a whole lot unless

maybe you know he's caught wearing a white puffer coat or something but it's like it's just

interesting that he's addressing this at the same time that all of these crazy stories are coming

out about ai not just from apple but you know anthropic being so big and huge open ai and google

Gemini and Facebook meta.

There's so much going on in this area right now. And it's just neat that

we had somebody like Pope Leo kind of address this.

Yeah, I mean, there's, you know,

there's

some things that, you know, this particular Pope or any Popes might say that I disagree with,

and some things I agree with.

But the one thing that you can say is many times a person that is

the Pope is going to be a very careful thinker. And I think Pope Leo clearly is,

you know,

not many of the things that he've said about what's going events going on in the world today,

I do find myself agreeing with him more than I would have thought.

But this was interesting.

I

it's not an encyclical letter

which apparently is a way that that hopes you provide information to to the

bishops and every car railed all the way down to individual priests but it's just

his and it's it's thousands and thousands of words on i did not read the whole

thing but i did read the summaries of an i read bits and pieces of it um... but

it's it's a lot of careful analysis from him on a i and there's so many points in

there and i certainly don't mean to summarize it but the one that did jump

out at me because because this speaks to me

uh... as an attorney that uses a i but also sort of into the bigger a i think

in general is that AI can be useful because it can do tasks that normally it would take a person

a long time.

Wow, that's cool. Those birds just flew right behind my head.

It can handle tasks in a fraction of the time.

I think I was just talking last week about how I've

been working on a big appeal and it was reading through thousands of pages in an appeal record

in record time. And that's just because that's just so many hours that why would I want to build

that time to my client when the AI can do it so much more efficiently.

But then the danger that

you always think about is not only the obvious things of attorneys,

you know, you know,

many

attorneys ask the AI to do their work for them and the AI hallucinates cases that don't even exist.

It cites the Smith versus Jones decision from the Alabama Supreme Court, but there was no such

decision and they get themselves into trouble.

But even the less obvious examples than that

is it sometimes it's easy to just have an AI draft something,

you know, it can draft full

paragraphs,

it can draft full documents,

and you can just copy and paste and just use that at your

own.

And I think it takes away something of the human value of it.

And so that's why when Pope

Leo was talking about, you know, use AI positively,

but don't allow it to dehumanize.

And I think he

was thinking of it and more in the,

he certainly wasn't thinking as a lawyer,

I think he was

thinking of it more in the context of like,

you know, making decisions,

using it for war and those

sorts of things.

But I do think it's an interesting point is AI is so powerful and it can do so much

that sometimes it's seductive and just like, well, let it do all of it.

And that is our task,

whether you are a lawyer or a doctor or a computer programmer,

whoever you are that's using AI,

is to know when to use it appropriately and when to not go there.

And we've all seen this. I mean,

Microsoft Word, for example,

has had grammar checkers in it for a long time.

And those grammar

checkers are great because it will often catch if you have like, you know,

there,

there,

there,

you know, those sorts of things.

But sometimes a grammar checker will flag something for me in a

document that I'm like,

okay, well,

maybe this isn't the king's English,

but it's just my style.

It's the way that I'm describing something.

It's what makes the brief coming from me as a person.

And there's nothing grammatically incorrect about it.

You know, for example,

sometimes I begin my

sentences with the word, but because I know I'm doing it for a specific reason and it's okay if I

do that.

And AI is sort of that to many levels above,

that if you allow it to take over too much,

then everything sounds the same. And we see this in everyday life.

Many times,

I hear this,

you must hear this too, Brad. Sometimes you'll see something in writing and you're like, you know

what, that almost reads like an AI wrote it.

You know,

it's just, there's just something about it

that's, it's a little impersonal and it's, it's, it's quote unquote well written,

but it just

doesn't seem like a real person.

And I think we're going to see this more and more.

And again,

for people that are not natural writers it's a fantastic tool if you're trying to write something

in english and english is not your first language how wonderful that the ai can help you with that

uh and goodness knows if i was trying to write something in french because my french skills are

very very very limited from when i was in middle school um you know i i want the computers to help

me with that to sound better but you just got to be you know there there's a back and forth so

that's why you know there's there's a lot in there in here but i think i think he has i think the

hope has a point. I guess that's what I'm saying.

Yeah.

If I'm mistaken, I think there was some

executive,

AI company executive that joined him on stage.

Yeah. Somebody from Anthropic did,

right. Right. Okay.

Okay. So it wasn't like the CEO,

but it was one of the executives. I mean,

it was not Tim Cook from Apple,

but you know, I will say just knowing Apple's approach,

I wonder,

I wonder if at some point in that presentation on June 8th, that,

that,

you know, Tim,

Tim Cook

might reference this, you know, or just call this into,

I mean,

I feel like a lot of some of what

little summaries that I had read about the Pope's letter here is could be a principle that maybe

Apple will embody,

you know, just from an ethical framework kind of a thing.

Anyway, I don't, I have

no idea if they'll reference that or not,

but it wouldn't surprise me. And I think it would be a

nice nod to say like, Hey, we at Apple recognize,

you know, that there are some guardrails that need

to be put up around some of this.

Yeah.

Some, some ethical implications of it and everything else.

Yeah,

it's it's it's interesting. I mean, AI has huge issues on individual privacy and everything else.

And exactly like with everything you do,

you have to,

you know, what's the line from from the Jurassic Park?

You know, just because,

you know, we forgot just because we could do something doesn't mean we should or whatever that line.

Yeah.

And it's that same concept. So it's nothing new to us.

It's just because AI can do so much so incredibly fast and in some ways so incredibly well,

it does.

You know, we don't want the computers taking over everything.

There's a few more stories that you covered.

We can probably breeze through a lot of these pretty quickly,

but they're neat.

We have long enjoyed the MagSafe battery that came out.

This is the little battery pack that would basically, I don't have mine right now,

but it would just magnetize onto the back of my iPhone and charge it up.

Apple had this MagSafe battery for a long time.

They have since discontinued it,

which leaves a little bit of a sliver of a door opening for some other companies such as Belkin.

I was actually pretty excited to see this Belkin 5K MagSafe battery bank that even includes a cute little kickstand in it.

Yeah.

You know, I was thinking about this just this week because my aforementioned daughter,

who just graduated,

when she saw me, I was using my iPhone.

It was at her graduation.

And, you know, I was recording lots of video and stuff like that.

So even though my iPhone 17 Pro has got a pretty good battery in it, I wanted to have, like, this external battery with me.

So I took that Apple MagSafe battery just to give it a little bit more oomph.

And she saw it, and she's like, oh, like, I want one of those.

That thing is so slim and small.

She's like, how come the external battery that you gave me is so big and clunky?

And it made me think, oh,

maybe a good present for college.

But even though Apple doesn't make that product anymore for the iPhone 17 Pro,

no, they do make it for the iPhone Air,

if you have an iPhone Air.

But unfortunately,

if you buy the one that Apple's currently selling,

the size of it does not fit on the back of the other iPhones except for the Air.

I don't know why.

But if Apple's not going to do it, it's a perfect third-party opportunity.

And so what I think I'm,

you know,

hopefully she doesn't hear me because she's not too far from me right now,

is I want to get her a thin battery that she can slap on the back, connect via MagSafe,

and it would give her that extra oomph.

But, you know, just you're going out at night and you forgot to charge your iPhone during the day,

but I don't want her to be completely without an iPhone,

like in case you have to call an Uber or something like that or a Lyft.

And so I know a number of companies make ones like this.

Anker does as well.

This Belkin one, like you say, it's sort of cool because it's got the kickstand on it,

And that might be sort of useful for like, you know, FaceTime calls or, you know, watching TikTok or whatever else that she does.

So I'm looking at these products.

You will probably see me post more in this category between now and when she goes to college this fall.

Because you'll be thinking about it.

Yeah, because I'll be thinking about these things.

Because it is right.

I mean, you have one too.

Having something super small that you can throw it in your pocket, you don't even feel it.

And yet it can give you like that extra two hours of battery power.

Like that is a useful product category.

Can I just also say, we've talked about this little warning now, but I see more and more like airlines talking about the fact that now they may restrict you having battery in your carry-on luggage.

And just be aware, $55 for a little MagSafe battery may sound like a lot,

but I got to tell you, I'm still on this bandwagon, Jeff,

of saying that this is from Belkin.

It is a trusted name brand,

and this is something that I wouldn't hesitate to maybe put in my carry-on or maybe discuss with the airline if they're asking.

This is something that I would trust more than sort of like those gibberish kind of names that you see on Amazon a lot of times,

or Kimu or somewhere else,

where they're selling similar type of batteries,

but they might be a fraction of the cost.

I mean, they may even be like $18 or something.

And it's like, well,

hey, why would I spend $55 when I could spend $18 and get something similar?

But it ain't the similar.

And I would just say,

again, I know it's a lot more money,

but at this point,

you're getting what you pay for here.

And a lot of that is you're paying for the confidence of knowing that this is going to be something that probably is going to have a much, much, much, much less chance of exploding on you in the air.

So just wanted to throw that in there again.

Last week, we talked about Major League Soccer.

And I think there was a game that was either going to be, we talked about immersive video,

but we talked about a major league soccer game that was going to be shot with iPhones.

Like, in other words, they were going to be using iPhones and Daring Fireball,

John Gruba at Daring Fireball talked about this a little bit,

including a little video.

And he did this.

He talked about going to this video,

going to like the 40 minute mark,

and you could actually see an image of,

I could tell where the iPhone was,

But there was so much other equipment around this iPhone in a long,

huge lens that was on it, Jeff.

I could still tell it was an iPhone in there.

But it was kind of interesting because I remember us talking about this last week.

Like, how is this going to look?

Are they just going to be,

you know, walking around the field holding up an iPhone?

No, it was a little bit more equipment than that.

Yeah, I didn't watch the game live.

I'm not a huge soccer fan,

but I was intrigued from a technology standpoint.

And so I'm glad that this link from John Gruber,

he gives you it's like a highlight video.

but he tells you what point of the highlight video to jump to that you can see a couple of minutes

from this particular game.

Not only at one point can you actually see the rig where they have the

iPhone inside of one of these things that like, it's like a gimbal that holds the camera and,

you know, connects all the video.

Um,

although at the core,

it's just the same iPhone that 17 pro

that, that many of us use is,

you know, it's, it's an orange iPhone 17 pros. I, I see exactly.

I think you have the orange one too. So many people have those orange ones.

Um,

and, um,

but then they also had tons of them. So they were all over the place and I've read, I,

I've watched some of the video clips myself.

I've read some of the commentary.

One or two people I've read have said, oh,

well,

it was great for close-up shots.

Everybody agrees with that.

Some people have said that for the faraway shots,

they felt like the quality wasn't as good,

which would make sense to me.

But then I've heard other people say that watch soccer all the time,

like, you know, seriously,

it's actually very,

very close to the quality of cameras.

I heard Jason Snell say in a podcast this week that one of the tells will be if we start to see more and more mainstream broadcasters,

You know, the people that don't care about the technology trick,

they just want to use the best tech for whatever they're doing.

And if they decide that instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on professional cameras,

we can spend fifteen hundred dollars on an iPhone and then put it in one of these rigs and we'll be able to afford two or three cameras instead of one, which gives us more different camera angles.

Amazing.

You know, that'll be the real tell.

So I feel like originally I thought Apple was doing this as a little bit of a stunt for us users,

for us to think,

hey,

my iPhone is so powerful that it could actually record a professional sports again.

But the more I think about it, I actually think that the intended audience was maybe not you and me,

but was the video industry, like the broadcast industry,

so that they could see,

wow, this actually could work.

And,

you know, of course, you wouldn't have to record whatever your event using all iPhones.

You could have some, you know, high-end cameras, but make the rest iPhones and, you know, have them because Apple's done that before,

too.

And I'm thinking that maybe that was the target audience is Apple was trying to show the broadcast world.

It's OK to use an iPhone.

They are powerful enough.

Yeah, I can't show this video here,

but I will tell you the little bit that I was watching on there.

It looked really good.

I mean,

you know,

to me,

just being a normal person watching sports, I'm like,

what's wrong with that?

Like, I can't really tell.

Like I'm not looking for,

you know,

incredible detail of looking at all of the,

you know, individual blades of grass, but it looked really good.

And like, I don't know, that's an interesting perspective on it there, Jeff.

And I bet you're right to a lot of extent.

Anyway,

you can make sure the links in the show notes.

If you wanted to go look and see the picture,

I can't show it on the screen here, but it is interesting just to see.

It's like they really are using iPhones there for recording professional sports.

That's great.

Let's talk some tips.

She had a couple of links in yesterday's post.

One was this.

I don't know how many tips that anchor thinker from I download blog had in

here,

but there are some good ones. I like this.

It's some iPhones and then we'll go to Glenn Fleischman who had a really nifty

little article on using emojis on your iPhone.

Yeah. The one I download blog had,

yeah,

it had a bunch of some tips.

I knew some I didn't know,

or maybe I forgot about,

you know,

long favorite ones that one one i'm looking at here is the universal clipboard i tell you brett i use

this all the time like i'm on my iphone and i copy something maybe it's some text or maybe it's a it's

a website or something like that and then i'm like you know what i actually i want to do this on my

ipad and i love that i can just copy from my iphone and paste on my ipad and i don't use a mac as much

as you do i use it at home but you can do sometimes you use with my mac too and like that is such a

useful feature that universal clipboard to copy back and forth. I use that one all the time.

The there was one more that he said,

oh, of course, using live text to copy text from images.

I use

that all the time.

You know, you just kind of you see something and you either take a picture from

it or you do a live version of it and I copy the text and like I don't want a picture.

I just want

those words that I'm looking at so that I can then do something with them, maybe look them up on the

Internet or copy and paste them.

But there's a bunch of other tips here that again, many of them

we've talked about before but i always i always think it's useful to look at those tips i like

this one i didn't realize you could put daily app limits on certain apps i've heard people do that

yeah i've never done it before it's it's especially popular with social media apps people like i don't

i don't want to spend this much time on tiktok so like limit me to no more than 20 or 30 minutes of

tiktok a day um and i have to admit he says go ahead he's addicted to x um but you could put it

on anything like Facebook,

Netflix.

So he says to make me feel guilty of using X for a long time,

I've set a daily app limit of two hours. So when the time is up,

the iPhone blocks the app,

but

he can bypass that. You can always bypass it if you want to, but the app limit reminder does make

me aware that I should go probably touch some grass right now,

which I like,

but I I've heard

about this and I knew that this was in here, but I just hadn't thought about it. Like you're right.

It's because a lot of times you don't realize how much time you are spending on an app,

especially

with some of these,

you know, I mean,

when I start getting into YouTube shorts, I mean,

I'm like,

did I just spend an hour doing this? And it was good. I mean, there's some good that comes

from just zoning out like that for a little bit,

but I didn't realize I was going for an hour for

crying out loud and having these app limits might be just a good way to remind yourself of something

like that.

As we switch over to that Glenn Fleischman article,

I see on the reflection

behind me that I think there's a parasailor coming behind me. I don't know if that's in the video,

but you're going to see a parasailor behind my head in a second, if you're watching the video.

So keep an eye out for that.

Your appointment's later,

right?

You're going to be up there a little bit later?

Oh, exactly.

Later on today, I'll be up in the sky.

I was going to record from the parasail, but I decided instead I'll do it from the balcony.

That would be amazing.

I mean, we're almost there.

It's just a little bit.

You'll just have the iPad.

You'll have a rig.

We'll get one of those rigs from the soccer stadium.

It'll be great.

The Glenn Fleischman article on emoji,

he has a lot of good tips for – I mean, I use emoji sometimes when I text people.

I use it sometimes with you.

But there's one tip that he had in here that I knew I had known about in the past and I forgot about it.

And it's this.

Let's say you type a message like,

hey, Brett, would you like to go get some pizza?

What you can do is if you just type your words and then after you've typed your words,

if you then tap on the emoji button,

some of the words will change color.

I think to orange or something like that.

That's right.

And it means that if you tap on those words, like if I tap on that word pizza,

I can choose to replace that with like a little pizza emoji.

And many times I'm typing something and like, I know I want to put an emoji in there,

but like I pause in the middle of my sentence to then go to the emoji picker and find the pizza icon.

But Glenn reminded, and again, I guess I knew this, but I forgot about it,

that I can just type my words and then hit the emoji icon button and then replace one or two words just to be like a little more silly.

I don't know.

Maybe you know this all the time, Brett.

I had totally forgotten that that's how that feature worked.

And I'm like, oh, thank you, Glenn.

That's a cool feature.

I see this all the time, Jeff,

but I just don't even think about it.

Like I see it, I tap the emoji and I already know that I'm going to go and put an emoji at the end of my text message.

And so I see when I tap the emoji,

certain words turn orange.

But in my mind, I'm just I'm focused on like, no, I've got to go find this emoji and I'm not looking at it.

But you're right.

It's just the way that Clint Fleischman, he goes,

slap me with the fish and call me Terry.

He had no idea that this feature was available,

but it is nifty.

I got to say,

though, most of the time,

I don't necessarily want to replace a whole word with an emoji.

I mean, I know that's how the kids talk and everything, but I'm almost like if I wanted to do that,

I would just put,

you know, insert an emoji as I'm typing.

Now, the only difference here, I will say,

is that I will typically dictate a message,

right?

So then it transcribes everything.

Fair point, fair point.

And then when I tap the emoji button, then I can see the orange buttons.

And, yeah, in some cases, I'm like, that's exactly what I wanted.

Thank you.

But I find that that's quicker to me than maybe typing it all.

If I'm going to take the time to type pizza,

I want it to say the word pizza.

I don't want it to be replaced with an emoji.

But to Glenn's point here, it's just good to know that that is available and why some of those words turns orange.

That's what I think is the thrust with his article here.

It's not just that one.

If you read his article, he's got all sorts of other emoji tips in there.

That's just the one that I'm pulling out of it.

So if you want to up your emoji game, check out his article.

If you are thinking about trading in an Apple device,

let's say an iPhone or an old Mac,

good news, you might be eligible for a little bit more money.

I thought this was great.

I've always felt like Apple has been fair with their trade-in values,

but sometimes you could get a little bit more depending on if you went to a third party.

I typically like to stay with Apple if I possibly can.

Mac mini increased from $35 more,

which I think is great.

I mean, again,

now to get the full amount, you have a recent device.

It's got to be in good condition,

no screen cracks or anything.

They test all of that out.

But I do find that Apple typically has,

at least from the acceptability standpoint,

they've been very fair.

They've almost taken,

I think I've gotten every time that I've done a trade-in, I've gotten the maximum that they would have allowed,

which in some cases may have been only $50 because it was an older device.

But I'm glad to know that some of these values have gone up a little bit.

I was just talking to somebody the other day, Brett, who was telling me that he needs a new iPhone.

And, you know, we're now on sort of like it's about to be June.

We're not going to have new iPhones till September,

maybe October.

So, like, I don't know.

If you need an iPhone now, you probably don't want to wait that many months.

Now, come August or certainly September,

I would wait for the new models.

But right now, if you know that you need one.

But the reason I say this is because he was telling me that, like,

whatever he was going to trade in,

he thought he could get like $500 or $600 for it or something.

Like that's real money,

you know, that you can actually –

That makes a big difference because he was telling me not only does he have that,

but he also has an Apple card, that credit card that you and I have.

And he's like, I have some money on that.

And the thing is, you know, iPhones are expensive.

But if you can get some money from a trade-in,

now even more, if Apple's giving you more,

and if you've got some money on the Apple card,

I mean, the next thing you know,

the cost of the iPhone,

it's – especially if you consider that you're going to spread it over like a year or two in your brain,

even if you pay it all at once,

it makes an expensive product a lot more affordable.

And I've had good success.

I know that I could probably make a little bit more money if I tried to sell my old Apple products on eBay.

But it's just so much hassle.

It's just so much easier to just give them to Apple.

And they usually give you, like you say, a fair price.

And now it's even better.

So I've had a good experience.

And for me, it's not worth seeing if I can make an extra $25 by doing a lot more work.

Yeah.

And talk about avoiding the hassle.

What's great about Apple is this is the way I normally will get a new iPhone.

I'll trade in my old one because I typically have a case on it.

So it's always in very good condition the way that I keep them.

But they'll even give you the trade-in value right there.

Like when I go into the Apple Store app, not the App Store app, but the Apple Store app,

and I will put in the trade-in.

And they'll give me the value right there in the price even before I send it in because they usually send a trade-in kit, right?

And then I returned it.

And then they verify that everything is fine and everything after I've answered some questions.

But I just like the fact that even that is less of a hassle,

right, Jeff?

I mean, it just is almost immediate right there that I can get that satisfaction of knowing,

well, I've already taken care of this.

I'll wait for the trade-in.

And then, of course, when they send the new iPhone,

I still have the old one so I can make sure everything is switched over.

And then I can send in the trade-in.

That gives you like 14 days.

Exactly.

Which is great.

Now, I know you're getting ready for your parents'

sailing a little bit later today.

But next week,

specifically June 3rd,

Wednesday,

I'll make sure that you get to run your 5K.

Because apparently that is Global Running Day.

And Apple, I love these when they do.

I wish they would do more of these.

But they have a very special badge that you can earn if you run a 5K on Global Running Day.

And there's a little picture of it.

I've got several of these saved over the years.

Like sometimes it'll be like Thanksgiving Day.

You can do the Turkey Trot if you run three miles.

I've done that.

Yep.

And so I just love having these and I love to go in and look at my little badges.

It's so silly.

It's virtual badges,

but I enjoy them.

And I'm glad that they're going to do one again for next year,

next week.

Yeah,

I know they're silly.

I know that nobody knows about it except for me.

But many times I get these badges.

And so that's the reason I wanted to put it in the post is that, you know,

it's you want to make sure you know about it.

They'll give you alerts on your iPhone,

too,

and your Apple Watch.

They will.

But it's,

you know, it's just something fun.

And if it gives you an excuse to run a 5K that you normally would not have run on a Wednesday,

well, then, you know, there you go.

Why not? Why not do it?

So they also come with these.

I don't use these very much, but they have these animated stickers.

And I guess mostly you use these within the text messages app.

I don't know that I've ever done this other than when they come out that day of.

I might send one to my wife or my daughter just,

you know, to use it once.

This I do like this one, though.

Somebody is running in a blow up dinosaur costume,

which is fun.

Have you ever done one of these races before,

Brett, where people like dress up like they go to Disney and they run and they have the funny costumes?

I've never dressed up,

but I've been to some of them.

Yeah, they make you laugh.

I got to give them credit for doing that.

It's fun.

That would be good.

OK, that's next Wednesday,

June 3rd.

Good luck on your 5K,

everybody.

Let's do a quick in the show.

Talk about it.

You had a couple of links today.

I know one of your favorite series on Apple TV Plus is For All Mankind.

You've got to be equally excited about a spinoff from that show called Star City,

which I guess I'm just guessing from this is like the Soviet perspective versus the U.S. perspective.

That's exactly right.

And in fact, I had I assumed that by the time we did this podcast,

especially since we're doing it a day later,

I would have seen the finale of season five.

But I watched it with my son and he and I were doing different things last night and we didn't have a chance to watch it.

So I still haven't seen the ending of it,

but I'm looking forward to it.

And then also,

which came out this week,

is the first episode.

It starts, I think, in the 1960s.

It's basically just like,

you know, as I've heard it described, it's just like for all mankind,

but from the Soviet perspective.

I'm told that they do the thing where,

you know how,

like, did you see that show Chernobyl on HBO?

It was actually really good.

But they have everybody speak English.

Like, rather than speak Russian and have the subtitles,

let's just pretend everybody speaks English and that they're speaking Russian.

With a Russian accent,

right?

Right, with a Russian accent.

And in a way that makes the show more approachable.

So I'm not necessarily opposed to that from a realism standpoint,

but I'm looking forward to it.

So I cannot I thought I would be reporting on some of this.

I have not seen it yet,

but it is definitely on my list to watch maybe this weekend.

So when you're recuperating from your parasailing incident,

which I'm sure will happen when you're up there,

you talked about another.

This is a series called Protective Custody.

And what's interesting about it, it's got Ben Stiller is involved.

I don't know if he's going to appear,

but the reason that we all look up when we hear Ben Stiller these days is because of Severance, right?

He was like the executive producer or something similar on Severance.

But he's also, what is it, Mike Judge is going to be involved in this as well.

That's just pretty incredible power hitters here.

I mean, Apple has so many things in development for Apple TV that I don't link to many of them because there's just tons of them.

And things like this are not going to be out for years,

right?

But it just caught my eye because Ben Stiller,

who originally I always thought of as an actor, right?

He's done so many movies and, you know, the Fockers and stuff like that.

But then for Severance, he was always behind the camera.

And he's talked about that before,

that he thought about being a character on the show.

And he ultimately decided,

you know what, I'm just going to stay behind the camera on this one.

And part of me wondered,

does that mean that Ben Stiller,

you know, a lot of people that start as actors then turn into directors behind the scenes.

There's tons of examples of that.

And yet in this show, he's actually going to be starring in it.

So he has not given up acting,

and so he will be in the show.

And it's a comedy.

It's got Ben Stiller.

Mike Judge is always funny.

It's got some potential.

Well,

again,

it'll probably be, what, 2028 before we're talking about this show.

But we will be talking about it at some point in the future.

I'm just guessing that after Severance, Apple is basically like, Ben,

whatever you want,

you just go with it.

Whatever show you want to do, whatever you do, you've got – we'll just back up the trucks of money.

And you just go right ahead.

Last week, I remember this story that we talked about this Hikawa grip and stand for iPhone.

Now,

yet another grip for an iPhone I don't think would be a story in and of itself.

But we talked about the fact that this was designed specifically for some accessibility aspects.

And it was hard,

you know, a little difficult for me and you to kind of describe it and talk about it.

It looks a little funky in the way that it's designed.

But you posted at the bottom of your post yesterday a story about how they actually designed this.

And I don't know.

I wouldn't call it a tearjerker,

but it's really a feel-good little video that I hope everybody gets a chance to watch because it just makes you think,

you know what?

I'm glad that there's people.

I'm sad that there's people that may have some accessibility issues.

I'm not really sad for them because I can tell most people that I know that have that.

They get over it, right?

They just continue on with their lives and they make do with what they have.

And that I admire.

But I'm very happy to know that there's other people out there that are doing what they can to make sure that they have access to the tools that they need,

including having a grip.

Like one of the quotes from this little video was,

you know,

not everybody holds their iPhone like this,

right?

It's like there are people out there that don't have the capability to hold their iPhone like what most people do.

And this little video, I thought just did a great job of showing them like why they designed this little Hakawa grip the way that they did and how it's helpful for so many people.

Yeah, I wish I had seen this video when you and I recorded last week because I was still trying to understand the video shortest.

I think it's like a minute.

And if you watch it like you will totally understand.

Oh, now I see why it's shaped the way it is.

And yet at the same time, it's an interest like it's got fun color.

So, I mean, it's not like some sterile medical device.

It's actually some things to add a little,

you know, pizzazz to your iPhone.

So once I saw that video,

I'm like,

yeah,

yeah, I get it.

And I have to admit,

Brett,

once I saw that video,

I'm like, maybe I want this because there might be times that it could be like a cool.

It looks like, I mean, it's a little clunky,

but it would be a nice and secure way to hold the iPhone.

I don't know. I don't need it.

But you look at the video, I'm like, oh, I can sort of, you know, that might be sort of fun to have.

So,

yeah.

If you're trying to understand it, you watch this for a minute,

you'll totally get it.

You're like, now I see why they have this product.

My focus was on that little hole in the middle, like, you know, for a finger or a digit or some kind, you know, to put in.

But in that video,

one of the – it's a gentleman that has – it's in a wheelchair.

And he props up the phone with this grip on.

You know, it's basically a MagSafe grip, right?

So it just kind of magnetizes to the back of the phone.

And I know I was asking last week,

like, is that strong enough?

And it is.

But he was using it from the fact that because of the material that the grip is made of, he would put it on his knee while he's sitting in the wheelchair and it just wouldn't move.

Like he wasn't even gripping it because I think he was using both hands to kind of interact with the phone.

And I just hadn't thought of it that way because I'm normally paying attention to the hole in the middle.

But just from the fact that it does good here,

this little picture here shows it.

It's a very stable way to pull up or kickstand your iPhone.

And I just thought that that was a good job that the video did on that as well.

In the know.

In the know.

I,

behind me,

have an image of somebody that we lost this past week,

Sonny Rollins.

Sonny Rollins was a tenor saxophonist,

very well known,

especially from some of my favorite Blue Note recordings of the 50s and the 60s and 70s.

Blue Note was a very, very popular, famous record label for jazz records.

Very iconic images and pictures on the front.

Sonny Rollins is known for several songs.

I mean, he was prolific even into his last days.

He would just amazing improvisation skills,

played with just about anybody and everybody you can imagine in the world of jazz.

Now, there's some very great recordings out there.

Saxophone Colossus was his one of his favorite albums.

But I wanted just to say thank you, Sonny, for all the years.

And one of my favorite records wasn't sort of his top recording,

but I've had this record for a long time called Sonny Side Up.

S-O-N-N-Y,

Sonny Rollins, Sonny Side Up.

It had Sonny Rollins on it playing tenor saxophone,

Sonny Stitt,

who plays alto saxophone.

And it also features Dizzy Gillespie,

which, of course, a lot of people know Dizzy Gillespie.

but there's only like four songs on this on this recording because sometimes you know they go a

little bit long with with improvising etc but the first track on here is called on the sunny side of

the street which a lot of people will recognize it's a song that's been out for many many many

years but they do i think a fantastic job on this on this recording and dizzy gillespie sings in it

as well i mean he plays obviously in trumpet but he sings on on the sunny side of the street and

it's just his intonation the way he the way he bends some of the words the the solos are fantastic

i think sonny rollins's solo on this is wonderful um another great recording is after hours that's

on site b if you have the lp but it's the third the third song uh on on there anyway just a great

to me i've always felt is this this record sort of flew under the radar some of the more popular

recordings that sonny rollins did but um if you've never listened to any sonny rollins and you just

to get a flavor of Sonny Rollins over this weekend,

to kind of respect his passing over this past week.

This, I feel like, is a very approachable song.

There's some stuff that Sonny does that people would just,

you know, my wife is like, what is going on?

I can't even understand what they're doing right now.

But if you wanted something approachable

on the Sonny side of the street from the record

Sonny Side Up with Dizzy Gillespie,

Sonny Rollins, and Sonny Stitt,

that's where I would recommend starting with.

Okay, I'm laughing because I had no idea

this was going to be your pick today.

And yesterday when I was sitting on the beach,

I was listening to this album because I had heard that he passed away.

This one?

Yeah, this very one.

And because I had heard that he passed away and I was actually listening to a podcast from our friend David Sparks.

And David Sparks, I mean, I live in New Orleans.

Of course, I love jazz music, right?

Yeah.

And David Sparks is really into jazz music.

David's a great pianist too.

Yeah.

And one of David's podcasts,

he had mentioned that he passed away.

And I was thinking about that.

And so, like, I'm sitting there.

I'm on the beach.

I'm watching the waves and I put on some of these songs, just sort of jazz and like, you know, improvisational jazz.

You know, it's like they start together.

Then one person will do his thing.

Another person does this thing.

And it was just sort of I was just relaxing on the beach.

Listen to that.

And and so I was listening to this album.

So it's a good one.

But I will tell you, here's my counter recommend,

not counter, but my supplemental reservation.

OK,

I think it's probably his his most famous song that he wrote is called St.

Thomas.

And if you're listening to this and you tell me,

you may say to yourself,

I don't know who Sonny Rollins is.

and I don't know the St.

Thomas song.

Trust me,

you do.

I'm sure you have heard this song in your life.

And so would you mind, Brett,

if I put the link in the show notes,

if you could put it in the podcast links,

I have a link to Apple Music on there.

If you listen to just the first 30 seconds of it,

you're like,

oh, I totally know this song.

And it's a great song.

And in the beginning, the refrains is very well known.

And then they all sort of go improvational from there.

So it's good, good jazz stuff.

So I just,

again,

I literally was listening to this album yesterday.

So I love the fact.

And,

of course, the reason I'm doing it is because he was on the news because he just passed away.

So thank you for my team.

Thanks, Sonny, for all the years,

for all the jazz.

Good stuff.

Okay.

Great tip.

So my tip today, it doesn't come from me.

Let me tell you how I came this tip.

Okay.

You know, we've talked about how David Pogue wrote his book about Apple 50 years,

right?

Right.

And so when he wrote his book, he also started to do a sub stack.

And in his sub stack,

like about once a week, he's writing little articles.

And you can get it in a newsletter or you can read it on the website.

And so he posted something a few weeks ago that you and I talked about on this podcast where he had some top Apple Watch tips.

And so after he posted that,

he said, if any of you have tips that you would like to share, let me know.

And lots and lots of people posted comments.

And he got so many comments that he put together the top eight,

what is this called?

The top eight Apple Watch tips that I did not know.

Now, some of these are Apple Watch tips that I actually know very well.

But regardless, we don't all know all of them.

But the number one that he has on here is something that I had never heard of before.

And I'm like,

this is totally ridiculous.

What is it?

And then I tried it and I'm like,

OK, this actually works.

So here's the thing.

I love the fact that the iPhone,

the current version of the iPhone, if you have the latest iPhone,

you know how it has this selfie feature that you can hold your iPhone in portrait orientation.

Right.

But the front-facing camera can actually do landscape because it's got a square lens on it.

And so that's nice because it allows you to just hold the iPhone in a comfortable position and you can still take a selfie picture of yourself or yourself and somebody else that is like that looks pretty good.

And this is great.

It works really, really well if you're in a well-lit location,

if you're outside,

blah, blah, blah.

But where it starts to fall down,

the camera on the front of the iPhone,

it's not as good as the cameras on the back of the iPhone.

And so if you're in a situation where,

for example,

it's dark,

like earlier this week, I was at like a graduation party with my daughter.

She was there, too.

And I took like a fun little selfie picture of this.

But because it was sort of a dark place,

it wasn't the best quality picture.

Believe me,

it was more than fine enough to just capture the moment.

But because that front-facing camera doesn't do as well in low light, it wasn't as good.

It doesn't have as much resolution,

et cetera.

And so here's the tip.

if you actually want to take a selfie using the camera on the back of the iPhone,

like how would you do that?

Because you can't see the screen if you're looking at the back of the iPhone.

But the tip was there's the app on the Apple Watch called Camera Remote.

And I often use the Camera Remote app that like I'm standing in a picture with a bunch of people,

my iPhone's on a tripod,

I press the button, we count to three, and it takes our pictures.

But the tip was,

and if you're watching the video on YouTube, you can see it.

If you take your Apple Watch and just sort of wrap it, especially if you have one of those Apple bands that you can sort of make different sizes.

If you wrap it around your iPhone and put it in the camera remote mode, remember, it only stays on for a certain amount of time.

Actually, I guess if it's in that mode, it'll stay on a little bit longer.

But that way you can hold your iPhone up and you can use your finger to press the button on the iPhone to take a picture using the cameras on the back of the iPhone,

which are the better quality with better quality cameras.

But you're using your Apple Watch, which you have wrapped around the iPhone itself instead of your wrist,

to use it as a review finder.

Look, don't get me wrong.

This is clunky.

I totally agree.

But I tried it.

I was actually on the beach the other night in an area that had – and I tried it,

and it totally worked.

And the quality of the picture of the selfie that I took was much better using the cameras on the back than it would have been used in the front.

So if you ever decide that you want to go through the trouble, I'm not saying you're going to do this very often.

But on those rare occasions where you want to take a selfie picture of yourself or maybe yourself and somebody else,

and you want to have a little bit higher quality,

and if you have an Apple Watch, there's a lot of ifs in there.

And if you don't mind doing something totally geeky, there's another big if.

You can actually take a selfie using the back cameras and your Apple Watch.

And you know what?

Much like David Pogue, I did not know this was something you could do,

and now I have learned something new.

So that's my tip.

Let's just say this is not good for spontaneous selfies,

right?

No, no,

no, no, no.

I mean,

because as soon as I see this, I'm like,

okay, first you have to take off your Apple Watch, strap it on the phone.

You've got to unlock the Apple Watch because at that point, when you take it off your wrist, it's going to be locked,

right?

So you have to unlock the Apple Watch.

You have to go and open the Camry remote app on the Apple Watch.

Make sure then that it connects to the phone, which it will be.

It'll probably once you unlock it.

But I do like the fact that it gives you that little tiny window as to make sure that you're centered correctly.

And I do know that it is better with those back cameras.

I mean, obviously it is.

It takes such good.

I mean, it's good enough for recording Major League Soccer football games at this point.

I mean, I know that those cameras are going to be good.

And sometimes I do like using that.

I mean, I've seen people that will flip it around and they'll just know where their finger is going to be.

Right.

So they're ready to tap the back of the phone because they want that better camera shooting at them.

But that is just so clunky and kind of risky.

This at least gives you an eyeball as to what you're going to do.

It's just you might want to put aside,

you know, five to ten minutes to set everything up first.

And then you want to take your spontaneous selfie.

That is really cool.

This is a great article.

I mean, I was looking through some of these other tips on here, too.

You're right. Some of these I do know myself.

But his original article was so good.

And I remember when we talked about it, I was telling you,

you should go read some of the comments.

Like there's so many people that are putting in other great tips in there.

And I'm glad that he picked out some of the best ones on there.

I'll make sure that we got those links in there for all of that.

Whoo.

Okay.
