The show kicks off with discussion around Apple's latest beta releases for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, and tvOS. While the updates appear mostly focused on bug fixes and stability improvements, the panel speculates Apple may already be quietly laying groundwork for major WWDC announcements behind the scenes. Vision Pro continues to dominate conversation this week with the arrival of the native Steam Link app, giving users a new way to stream PC games directly into Apple's headset. The panel discusses the growing gaming possibilities for Vision Pro, including PS5 remote play support and whether Apple's expensive headset could eventually become a more serious entertainment and gaming platform. Leaked images of black Vision Pro components also spark speculation about possible future hardware revisions or prototype devices Apple may still be testing internally. Security and messaging updates are another major focus this week. The crew discusses Apple's expanded transparency around CVE security reporting, encrypted RCS messaging support in Messages, and how users can verify end-to-end encryption is active. The conversation quickly turns humorous as the group debates Apple's new alerts for users who max out blocked contacts, leading to stories about spam texts, political messages, and the endless battle against robocalls. On the Mac side, the panel covers the M5 MacBook Air reaching one of its lowest prices yet, making it an especially attractive option for Apple users looking to upgrade. Dave also shares excitement about the massive Virtual OS Museum project, which allows users to explore and run classic operating systems from decades past, including older versions of macOS, Windows, Linux, Atari, and more. The discussion then shifts into AI and Apple's future plans. OWC's upcoming Stack AI hardware generates interest as the panel explores how local AI processing and large language models may shape the future of Mac hardware. From there, the conversation moves into new rumors surrounding iOS 27, including reports of a redesigned Siri experience, a standalone chatbot-style Siri app, Dynamic Island integration ideas, and Apple's ongoing effort to compete in the rapidly evolving AI space. The panel debates whether Apple is truly behind competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini, or simply pursuing a more privacy-focused and ecosystem-driven approach. The crew also spends time discussing Apple's redesigned app icons and the growing confusion surrounding Creative Studio apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. Jeff Gamet passionately argues Apple has "completely lost the plot" with icon design, while Marty Jencius defends the idea of evolving aesthetics, leading to one of the funniest debates of the episode. Practical user tips round out the show, including how to customize CarPlay layouts, manage widgets and apps, enable 120Hz ProMotion refresh rates on iPhone, and use Apple Wallet driver's licenses in supported states. The panel shares real-world experiences using digital IDs and Apple Pay, including a hilarious story about a cashier insisting Apple Pay users still needed to "pay with money." Finally, the crew previews Macstock 2026 and Creator Camp, encouraging listeners to join the Apple community event this summer. With discussions covering Vision Pro gaming, Siri rumors, AI strategy, CarPlay, Mac hardware, Apple Wallet, and much more, Episode 425 delivers another packed week of Apple news, insight, and entertaining conversation from the In Touch With iOS team.

Two Hearts and One Braincell: Cassidy Carson & JT Hume Amateur Hour
Good day from the Worldwide Headquarters of the "CC&JT Amateur Hour" where "Production Values Go To Die." Today's podcast is the usual polyglot of subjects and happenings, notably about our outing to the Churchill County Library in Fallon, Nevada. Thank you to Magdalena and her great team for inviting us. We answered questions about our books, and I read chapter one of "A Sheriff of Nevada," and we had a great time!Here's CC's video of the big dork in the above picture talking about writing. Be kind.Speaking of "chapter one": In this podcast, I read chapter one from the draft of my latest SciFi novel that has neither a name or a cover, but those small details did not deter me. I believe in this book and will be marketing it to traditional publishers after creative editor Teri and the Betas are done tearing it apart. I answered CC's important question: what about this book had me feverishly finishing the first draft of 111K words in less than sixty days? The answer may surprise you, especially if you're a woman.Appearances:– I'm at Comma Coffee two or three times a week. Stop by and say hi.– June 6: We're setting up a booth at the Sierra Arts Foundation Bookfest.– June 12: We will be meeting and greeting at Bub's Bookstore‘s grand opening!– June 13: We will have a table at Nevada Pride via the Brewery Arts Center.– July 18: We may be back at the Reno Public Market.– August 25: CC will be doing an author talk at the Churchill County Library.– October: many events. More information as we get closer.Manuscript Status:– The sequel to #passionrestored is almost read for preorder. Release in June.– CC is also digging into Battle Born Bride. She talks about fast-drafting it.– The sequel to Finding Salvation is with me. Release date to be determined.A reminder: If you are adverse to big box websites (*cough* Amazon), we have a handy little online bookstore of our own.

Despite headlines suggesting Apple may be "giving up," the panel pushes back—highlighting real-world use cases in healthcare and filmmaking that suggest the opposite. A standout story includes Vision Pro being used in cataract surgery, enabling real-time collaboration and 3D visualization—showcasing its growing role in enterprise and medical environments. In parallel, Hollywood is embracing the device, with directors like Jon Favreau leveraging Vision Pro for immersive shot composition in virtual IMAX environments. The conversation shifts to Apple's broader ecosystem updates, including beta releases across iOS, macOS, and watchOS, which remain relatively quiet ahead of WWDC. Meanwhile, the MacBook Neo continues to generate buzz with strong demand and shipping delays, reinforcing its early success. AI continues to dominate discussion with tools like Perplexity's Comet browser, YouTube's conversational search experiments, and Google Photos' upcoming wardrobe AI feature. Apple also enhances iCloud with improved web-based search functionality—closing the gap with competitors. Additional topics include Apple Pay transit expansion, App Store subscription changes, MagSafe's uncertain future, and excitement around upcoming Apple TV+ content like Ted Lasso Season 4. The episode wraps with a preview of MacStock X, featuring appearances from industry voices including David Pogue and a special Ecamm Creator Camp.

The show begins with Vision Pro, including the latest visionOS 26.5 beta, which brings incremental improvements, and a key development: Apple Business Essentials now supports Vision Pro. This signals Apple's growing push into enterprise and device management for spatial computing. A major highlight is the release of a $30,000 immersive camera designed for Vision Pro content creation. While clearly aimed at professionals, it underscores Apple's long-term commitment to immersive media and high-end production workflows. The discussion turns serious with news of a tragic accident during the filming of an immersive video project. The panel reflects on the risks involved in high-intensity filming and the broader implications for this emerging medium. On the Mac side, the MacBook Neo continues to dominate conversation. Demand has exceeded expectations, prompting Apple to significantly increase production. The panel explores how the Neo is disrupting the market, especially as competitors like Microsoft raise prices on their Surface lineup. There's also discussion around AI workloads driving demand for Apple silicon devices like the Mac mini. Google enters the mix with the release of its Gemini app for macOS, completing the trio of major AI platforms with native Mac apps. The panel discusses usability, competition, and privacy concerns tied to AI adoption. Regulatory confusion around a proposed U.S. router ban sparks debate, with questions about security, transparency, and how these decisions are communicated. Additional topics include a new event-focused music app called Wedding Player, improvements to Apple Watch repair processes in stores, and a redesigned YouTube Music interface. The episode wraps with excitement around Macstock 2026, including expanded programming and special guest appearances.

He is the CEO and founder of Prime Guidance. Steve developed well-rounded expertise working for multi-billion dollar fortune 500 retailers such as Amazon, Dick's Sporting Goods and eBay enterprise prior to founding Prime guidance in all industry consulting. With 30 years experience in retail management and 23 years experience in e-commerce. Steve and his team provide companies with strategic advice and innovative solutions that are based on real life experience working for industry leading retailers. He helps companies grow faster, smarter and more profitably by providing advice, mentoring and coaching for today's busy executives. So welcome to the podcast, Steve.Steven 00:00:46 Thank you. Josh. Thanks for having me.Josh 00:00:48 One of the first questions I want to ask, just kind of selfishly for myself, because we're looking to expand onto different channels right now with our business. We've grown to eight figures just on Amazon alone. But we're we are looking to, you know, is it time to explore or double down more on Walmart eBay, Wayfair? Do we try to get into target? Do we go international right and start shipping stuff into Canada, Mexico, the UK, etc.? So my question to you here, Steve, is what kind of sales lift do you see from those different marketplaces? Right.Josh 00:01:28 Like what do you estimate as hey you go to Walmart it best case scenario, you're probably looking at a 10% lift eBay. Maybe it's a 2%, you know, so on and so forth.Steven 00:01:39 Yeah. So it's a very tricky question because I've seen it wildly different. So interesting. I had to if I had to, to put a rough assumption across a lot of different categories and product lines, I would say Walmart is the very next marketplace you're going to want to focus on outside of Amazon. And by the way, don't do it until you're what I like to say 80 to 90% optimized on Amazon. Don't spend your time on these smaller marketplaces, because that's oftentimes the shiny object that gets you in trouble when you're doing a whole bunch of different things, you're not doing any of them well. You've got to you've got to be really well positioned on Amazon. And when I say 80 to 90%, I don't mean of your total opportunity for growth. But if you've identified all these levers you need to pull on Amazon, you need to have a good storefront.Steven 00:02:26 You need to have A+ content. I need to have all of these different components pulled together. Do you feel good about how well optimized they are, and are they in place 80 to 90% of where they should be before you, you know, start migrating to another marketplace? Because if you don't, you're essentially lifting and shifting a catalog that's not optimized to another marketplace. And now all of your optimization efforts are going to be that much harder because you're doing full optimizations across a whole bunch of marketplaces. That's a that's always a risk. I would say Walmart is probably, in the number of 10 to 20% of the Amazon business, and eBay is probably the neighborhood of 10%, maybe 5 to 10% of the, of the Amazon business. but it really does differ quite a bit. I've seen some I've seen some people that actually sell more on Etsy than they do on Amazon because their product is sold out after on that website. I've seen people that do phenomenal on eBay, even though eBay is, you know, not not growing.Steven 00:03:32 It's. Yeah, it's it just so happens that their customers there and that's why I go goes back to, analyzing where your customers spend their time and money and make sure you're present there, do it in the right order. But ultimately make sure you're you're present there. And where you go next is not a cookie cutter answer just because everybody else goes to this next Walmart, you know, Walmart next or eBay after that or whatever, doesn't mean that's...

Part 2 of our wide-ranging discussion with Glenn Fleishman covers maintaining Take Control books, the ripple effects of Liquid Glass, and why public betas shape perceptions. He digs into iOS safety features like Check In, iPadOS windowed apps, and the iPhone 17 Pro's camera vs. "Visual Intelligence." Glenn is skeptical of foldables, explains the Phone app on iPad/Mac, and shares his Six Colors column plus print-history projects, from comics production to type history.

In the past few years, videos from a new kind of camp have begun circulating the internet. They feature men participating in a variety of bizarre activities: from aggressively digging holes under floodlights, to collectively wailing in a pool of water. These are man camps, where men can pay up to $18,000 to undergo extreme boot-camp-like conditioning in the name of reclaiming their masculinity. This week on Endless Thread, host Ben Brock Johnson and senior producer Dean Russell, dive into the past, present and future of man camps. Show notes: Learning 'how to be a man' in the Californian desert: Man Camp (The Guardian)
