Podcasts about visionos

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we dive back into the Vision Pro. Apple's new Vision Pro headset features the M5 chip for better performance and efficiency, 10% more rendered pixels, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, longer battery life, and an all-new counterweighted Dual Knit headband with a focus on improved comfort. Arriving 20 months after the original model, the Vision Pro now runs visionOS 26 and offers widgets, hands-free scrolling, enhanced Mac Virtual Display mode, significantly improved Personas, a broader selection of immersive content, and more. We discuss how much better the new version really is and whether it's finally time to give Apple's spatial computing device another chance. Try Notion, now with Notion Agent, at notion.com/macrumors

Allora, oggi parliamo di Smoochie, quell'idea che mi si titilla in testa mentre faccio mille altre cose (e che non so se svilupperò mai, ma è divertente pensarci!).Io sono Alex Raccuglia e questo è The Morning Rat, il mio spettacolo in video (e in podcast su Techno Pillz) dove racconto la mia vita da produttore di spot e sviluppatore software audio-video. Un giorno vi racconterò perché si chiamano in modo diverso, ma intanto parliamo di questa roba qui!Tutto nasce da un problema 'automagico' che mi è capitato: un video a 30fps montato su una timeline a 25fps, con conseguenti drop frame e un gran mal di testa. Non c'è modo di migliorare questa cosa? La risposta, ovviamente, è sì!Ecco che entra in gioco Smoochie (o magari 'Frame Doctor', ci pensiamo!). L'idea è sfruttare un modello di intelligenza artificiale sviluppato da Apple, disponibile *for free* su iOS, macOS, VisionOS 26 e **solo per Apple Silicon** (mi spiace Intel, non è colpa mia!).Smoochie sarebbe pensato per fare lo *smoothing* del video, il *frame repair* (quante volte un frame è rovinato o mancante?) e in generale lavorare sui singoli fotogrammi. Parliamo di segmenti corti (10-20 secondi, non un'ora!), visualizzazione dei fotogrammi come 'piccoli rettangolini verticali', navigazione avanti/indietro.L'app ti permetterebbe di aggiungere frame mancanti (interpolati con l'AI tra il precedente e il successivo, fighissimo!) o rimuovere quelli duplicati (quel '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5' che tutti odiamo quando si cambia cadenza). E in esportazione? Decidi tu: mantieni il framerate originale allungando il video o mantieni la durata originale cambiando il framerate (o scegli tu, tipo 29.97 o 30, perché siamo liberi!)Ma non finisce qui! Il passo successivo è l'analisi *automagica* delle 'cadenze sbagliate'. Come? Sfruttando l'AI di Apple che calcola il *vettore di spostamento* tra i fotogrammi (tipo Global Motion Compensation, ma più furbo). E con l'aiuto di Claudio 4.5, ho scoperto che l'AI non solo ti dà il movimento, ma anche *rototraslazione e skew*! Questo ci permette di identificare frame ripetuti o 'spike' di movimento per suggerire aggiunte/rimozioni. Un vero 'dottore' per i tuoi video!Potrebbe essere utile anche per fare *slow motion* fuori da Final Cut o per *pipeline scriptate* di compositing. Non una cazzata, insomma! Dalla versione 1.0 (solo Frame Doctor) alla 1.2 (con analisi e cambio di cadenza), per me è fighissimo!Che ne pensate? È un'idea carina o no? Fammelo sapere nei commenti, iscrivetevi al canale, attivate la campanella per le notifiche! E se mi ascoltate in audio, venite nel gruppo Telegram: [telegram.me/technopillsriot](https://t.me/technopillsriot) (e un bel like non guasta mai!).Tra poco sentirete anche il commento di Shat GPT. È stato bello, ciao, che devo parcheggiare!#Smoochie #FrameDoctor #AlexRaccuglia #TheMorningRat #TechnoPillz #AppleSilicon #IntelligenzaArtificiale #AI #VideoEditing #FrameRate #SoftwareDevelopment #MacOS #iOS #VisionOS #GlobalMotionCompensation #Rototraslazione #VideoRepair[00:13:58] Spot[00:19:19] Il riassunto di Sciatta GPTTechnoPillzFlusso di coscienza digitale.Vieni a chiacchierare sul riot:https://t.me/TechnoPillzRiotSono su Mastodon: @shylock74@mastodon.unoI video di The Morning Rant sul canale YouTube di Runtime:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgGSK_Rq9Xdh1ojZ_Qi-rCwwae_n2LmztAscoltaci live tutti i giorni 24/7 su: http://runtimeradio.itScarica l'app per iOS: https://bit.ly/runtAppContribuisci alla Causa andando su:http://runtimeradio.it/ancheio/

The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

The panel dives into the launch of the Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and 14-inch MacBook Pro M5, exploring how Apple's latest chip is showing up everywhere—from spatial computing to creative workflows. Marty admits to pre-ordering the new Vision Pro while having blood drawn, leading to the episode's funniest moment (“They took my blood, I gave Apple my money”). Jeff immediately volunteers to be Marty's “no-good son” to inherit the old headset, sparking laughter about “device reallocation” policies. Discussion turns to the Vision Pro's new dual-knit band and Hover headset accessory, which redistributes weight to the crown of the head. Dave likens it to “flipping up granny sunglasses,” while Ben compares it to wearing “night-vision goggles.” Chuck's wise counsel: “Wait for the M5 Pro—patience beats payment.” MacBook Pro M5 specs are examined in detail—10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24-hour battery life (cue the joke: “if you never touch it”), and no Wi-Fi 7 support. Marty shares his “trade-up philosophy” while Jeff laments his $800 trade-in offer: “It lost that much value that fast?” Chuck recommends Apple's refurb store, calling it “the best deal Apple doesn't advertise.” The crew also explores the iPad Pro M5, agreeing that performance gains are meaningful but most users won't need to upgrade. Jill admits her iPad mostly serves as a “sleep-aid game console,” while Eric says Vision Pro has cut into his tablet use entirely. Other highlights:     •    Vision Pro M5's 120 Hz refresh rate and better cooling.     •    No Wi-Fi 6E bump—for $3,500, that drew audible groans.     •    AI readiness of the M5 chip sparks debate on whether Apple even has an “AI strategy.”     •    Apple TV's rebranding from “TV+” to “Apple TV,” which the panel calls “peak confusion.”     •    AirPods Pro 3 flight test: Marty's seal so tight it caused ear “pop-pop-pop” moments, while Dave says noise-canceling on planes “kills all sound, including your will to chat.”   Topics and Links Breaking News  Apple Debuts New iPad Pro With M5 Chip, Faster Charging, and More Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support Here's Everything Apple Announced Today  In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support

¡Explosión de novedades desde Cupertino! En este episodio cargado de humor, anécdotas y análisis techie, el equipo del Garaje de Cupertino se sumerge en los lanzamientos más esperados de Apple: el iPad Pro con chip M5, el renovado MacBook Pro de 14 pulgadas, y las Vision Pro mejoradas, todo con un enfoque premium que redefine el ecosistema Apple.Pero la sorpresa no acaba ahí: Apple sacude el mundo del streaming eliminando el “Plus” y rebautizando su plataforma como simplemente Apple TV, con una experiencia más intuitiva y promesas de contenido exclusivo. Y hablando de inmersión, la NBA llega a Vision Pro en 3D con estadísticas en tiempo real. Una revolución visual que apunta directamente al corazón de los fans del deporte.Además, se asoma un futuro con gafas inteligentes con IA y sistema visionOS que podrían cambiar por completo cómo interactuamos con la tecnología. ¿Estamos ante el principio del fin del smartphone?Entre risas, predicciones locas, recomendaciones de grabación con iPhone (¡y un disco de 1TB!), y una visita especial de AliBlueBox hablando de accesibilidad, el equipo reflexiona sobre cómo la tecnología puede —y debe— ser para todos.

Summary In Episode 390 of In Touch With iOS, host Dave Ginsburg is joined by Jill McKinley, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Ben Roethig to tackle Apple's latest updates with a mix of analysis and humor. The panel begins with VisionOS 26.1 beta 2, highlighting improved game controller responsiveness and Apple's new immersive films—from Hawaii's volcanoes to Maine's autumn colors. Marty jokes Apple just used the Photos app's magic wand to turn summer into fall, while the group teases about running out of U.S. states to film. They also discuss the quirky Hover strap accessory that “flips up like old-man sunglasses” with ad copy quoting “When a problem comes along, you must flip it.” iOS 26.1 beta 2 gets attention for bigger alarm buttons, a snooze/stop redesign, and expanded Apple Intelligence languages. On iPad, the return of Slide Over sparks relief, while microphone gain control earns praise for podcasters. Apple's Fitness app adds custom workouts, and AirPods Pro 3 receive a firmware update. Marty shares a hilarious inflight story: the new seal was so tight his ears went “poppity, poppity, poppity” during descent. The crew explores iPhone 17's USB-C capabilities—charging AirPods, external displays, Ethernet, even other iPhones. Jeff jokes about using USB-C mics for bird-watching apps, while Eric tests charging his Apple Watch directly from the iPhone. Other highlights: Amazon Prime splurges (camera arms, Stream Decks, car jumpers, and audio gear). Tag Heuer's $1,600 Connected E5 smartwatch, now iPhone-certified—“a $1,600 dongle for your wrist.” Apple's Colorado outdoor influencer event (hiking + AirPods demos). Cosmic Orange skins from Dbrand, prompting jokes about spray-tanning MacBooks or eating Cheetos near your iPhone. Liquid Glass design spreading to more Apple apps. CarPlay tensions: Rivian's refusal, Aston Martin as the lone CarPlay Ultra supporter, and frustration over automakers backtracking. Jeff warns CarPlay Ultra might never gain widespread adoption unless Apple compromises. The panel closes with laughs about hidden iPhone call history (“your spouse's attorney already knows”), cosmic orange hunting gear, and CarPlay Ultra being more elusive than a lottery win.

The conversation dives into Vision Pro updates and Apple's latest security patches, including a quirky “malicious font” bug. From there, the panel dissects an FCC leak that revealed a refreshed Vision Pro with an M5 chip—sparking jokes about the government “protecting secrets by giving them away.” Debate follows on whether Apple's reported pivot to AI-powered smart glasses is a strategic win or just creepy. Jason Snell's VisionOS review gets praise as thoughtful and balanced, while the panel adds their own takes on environments, widgets, and gaming controller support. iOS 26.0.1 and watchOS 26.0.2 are unpacked, addressing iPhone 17 connectivity and battery bugs, while macOS Tahoe gets flak for lingering Electron app slowdowns. Jeff delivers a mini public service announcement about Slack, Discord, and Trello devouring system memory. The panel shifts gears to Wallet app delivery tracking, which impresses some while frustrating others with inaccurate status updates. A lighter segment celebrates Apple finally adding seven new ringtones, prompting stories: Marty blasting Brick House in a faculty meeting, Jill rocking '80s ringtones, and Jeff's Futurama theme drawing smiles in public. Other highlights include:     •    CarPlay Ultra controversy — Ford pushes back, Jill's Subaru story about passengers killing her map, and Chuck's take on carmakers clinging to “unique” interfaces.     •    Privacy screen protectors — Jill recalls spying underwear ad designs on a plane, Jeff insists “just don't show sensitive info in public,” and Marty questions if this “solution” solves a problem at all.     •    Market trends — iPhone 17 Pro demand surges while the iPhone Air lags, with trade-in deals and China demand influencing sales.

I did an interview with Rebecker Specialties' founder Matt Hargett at Meta Connect 2025 about alternative open source and open standards, JavaScript-based pipelines for developing XR applications that he's been working on including React Native for VisionOS, as well as working with NativeScript for VisionOS, and also working to bringing Node API support for React Native. Also be sure to check out his git visualizer Factotum, which is an app that is using some of these alternative production pipelines. Hargett also mentions a couple of recent React Universe Conf talks covering this work including Hermes + Node API: A Match Made in Heaven and Bringing Node-API to React Native.

The panel kicks off with VisionOS 26.1, noting Apple's suspicious lack of release notes and testing new immersive films like the MotoGP documentary, Red Bull's skiing adventures, and even a BBC Proms experience. Dave also demos guest mode for Vision Pro with a co-worker, who was blown away by a Metallica immersive video. Next, they dive into iOS 26.1, iPadOS, and macOS Tahoe updates, highlighting live translation in AirPods Pro 3, Safari tweaks, and the long-awaited digital passport in Wallet—sparking a hilarious debate about whether TSA, Minnesota, or cable companies would ever accept it. The group then compares the Apple Watch Series 11 and SE3, praising brighter screens, sleep tracking, and health sensors, while joking that “Series 0 was basically an hourglass.” Marty even admits wearing his watch to bed for the first time. Conversation shifts to the iPhone 17's 18MP front camera, with its auto-rotate and zoom selfie features. Jill cracks that selfies are how people “die of bear attacks,” while Eric recalls tugging on demo phones in Apple Stores until the security cords screamed. Other highlights include:     •    AirPods Pro 3 fit battles (with Marty suggesting ear reshaping via screwdriver)     •    Repairability improvements spotted in iFixit teardowns     •    CarPlay connectivity bugs (solved with wired connections, or defended as “protection from the Cylon invasion”)     •    NCAA teams adopting iPads over Surface Pros (“Surface: best used as a coffee stand”)     •    Disney Plus price hikes and streaming bundle frustrations The episode wraps with speculation about Apple's ecosystem direction and plenty of laughs, blending serious tech analysis with classic panel humor.

The panel shares excitement over their own incoming devices, including cosmic orange iPhone Pro models that sparked plenty of laughs and debate. Attention then turns to VisionOS 26, with deeper looks at new features such as persistent widgets, spatial browsing in Safari, and improved Personas. The panel debates whether Apple Vision Pro is truly lagging in consumer adoption or simply carving out a business-focused niche with use cases like Lowe's immersive design demos. From there, it's on to iOS 26 and its bold new Liquid Glass aesthetic, sparking spirited discussion around usability in apps like Messages, Safari, Photos, and CarPlay. Panelists share personal struggles, tips, and workarounds while reflecting on how “change is hard” — especially when muscle memory is involved. The group also covers watchOS 26 enhancements (sleep scores, workout buddy, hypertension alerts), tvOS improvements (better dark-scene rendering), and macOS Tahoe quirks (installation issues on M3 Ultra). Jeff even jokes about calling it “macOS Donner Party,” sending the panel into laughter. The episode also highlights AirPods Pro 3's new tricks — including live translation, sleep detection, and camera control gestures — and acknowledges early iPhone 17 software bugs like the infamous “white squigglies” camera glitch, which Apple is already patching. Wrapping up, the panel shares their new hardware purchases and charging accessories while keeping the mood lively with running jokes about Real Housewives, pumpkin spice, and cosmic orange cases.

On this episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through iOS 26 and Apple's other major software updates, which officially launched this week. ‌iOS 26‌ introduces a major visual overhaul with "Liquid Glass," making system elements more translucent and fluid. There are a series of new communication features, such as backgrounds in Messages and Call Screening. The Lock Screen can adapt dynamically to photo subjects, while Photos gains a new Library and Collections layout and spatial 3D effects for favorites. Apple also added a new Games app that combines a user's game library with Game Center content. iPadOS 26 focuses on transforming multitasking by replacing Split View and Slide Over with a full window management system. Users can freely resize app windows, minimize or maximize them with macOS-style traffic-light controls, and use a menu bar across apps. A new Mac-style toolbar and a redesigned cursor are also present. macOS 26 brings Liquid Glass to the desktop for a refreshed aesthetic. Spotlight is overhauled with new search categories and quick keys, Control Center is more customizable with new menu bar options, and iPhone Live Activities can now be viewed directly on the Mac. watchOS 26 brings improvements to the Control Center and Smart Stack, and brings Notes to the Apple Watch for the first time. New health features include hypertension notifications and Sleep Score, while fitness gains an AI-powered "Workout Buddy" for personalized guidance. A new wrist flick gesture lets users dismiss calls or alarms more intuitively. Having tested the updates for several months, we take an overall look at the updates. We discuss polarized reaction to Liquid Glass, and Apple's controversial decision to remove the iPad's Split View and Slide Over. We also talk through enhancements to Apple Intelligence, such as improved Visual Intelligence and the ability to access Apple's on-device foundation models directly in Shortcuts. ‌iOS 26‌, ‌iPadOS 26‌, ‌watchOS 26‌, macOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 are available now.

Arrancamos con el “día grande” de actualizaciones: iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26 y visionOS 26 llegan a la vez, y contamos primeras impresiones reales (sin betas): qué cambia, qué merece la pena activar hoy y qué pulirán con el tiempo. Lo más vistoso es el rediseño Liquid Glass y la Apple Intelligence, con Live Translation, inteligencia visual para leer capturas y la fiebre de Image Playground/Jemoji para fondos y mensajes. Además, probamos truquitos útiles: Call Screening (pide a desconocidos que digan por qué llaman), Asistente de espera para esas llamadas eternas, y el efecto “escena espacial” de los fondos que crea un 3D sorprendente. Todo, con ejemplos y anécdotas de la instalación en varios dispositivos.En iPadOS 26 hay salto “pro”: ventanas redimensionables, atajos tipo Mac, nueva barra de menú y apps nativas (Vista Previa, Journal, Archivos mejorado), además de funciones para creadores como render en segundo plano y capturas locales de audio/vídeo.En watchOS 26 debuta Workout Body (coach con voz generativa y feedback contextual), Sleep Core con puntuación del sueño y alertas de hipertensión; también llegan gestos y Notas en el reloj.Debatamos del “elefante” europeo (cómo ciertas funciones podrían retrasarse o no llegar por requisitos de apertura) y de la nueva segmentación del iPhone 17: Pro (robusto, cámaras top, vibe aventurero), Air (ultrafino/“ejecutivo”) y 17 (equilibrio total). Comparamos en caliente 17 vs 16e y precios en España. También, la curiosidad del naranja Pro gemelo al del botón del Ultra… y, sí, a la bombona de butano. Cierra el equipo con recordatorio de directos y suscripciones.Palabras clave (SEO): iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, Liquid Glass, Apple Intelligence, Live Translation, Call Screening, Asistente de espera, Image Playground, Jemoji, iPad ventanas, Workout Body, Sleep Core, hipertensión Apple Watch, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, UE Apple.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Guy Serle, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius. The panel unpacks Apple's latest event: the iPhone 17 lineup, the sleek new iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3 with heart-rate and live translation, and the Apple Watch Series 11 with new health features. Are these upgrades worth it—or just iterative polish?

The discussion covers the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Pro and Pro Max models powered by the A19 Pro chip, upgraded camera systems, and improved thermal cooling. Panelists debate upgrade cycles, storage needs, and even whether “pumpkin spice” (aka orange) should count as a phone color. We also break down the debut of the iPhone Air, Apple's thinnest iPhone yet, with its titanium build, new C1X modem, and unique design choices (including that hump). Is it just a super-thin marvel—or half of a future foldable iPhone? Opinions differ! Next up, the AirPods Pro 3 bring stronger noise cancellation, a heart rate sensor, and game-changing live translation features. The crew weighs whether these are must-have upgrades or evolutionary refinements. Finally, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 take center stage, with blood pressure monitoring, sleep score features, and battery improvements sparking debate about health tracking and who benefits most from the new models. Throughout the episode, the panel reflects on how Apple's hardware has entered an iterative phase—solid and polished, but less revolutionary. Still, with new colors, health sensors, and smarter features, there's plenty to discuss, speculate, and laugh about in this jam-packed post-event recap .

Marty gives a rundown of the new Jupiter environment including the options for interacting with the environment. MacRumors — visionOS 26 RC Features New Jupiter Environment for Vision Prohttps://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/10/visionos-26-new-jupiter-environment/Apple Day (repost of MacRumors piece) — visionOS 26 RC Features New Jupiter Environment for Vision Prohttps://appleday.org/visionos-26-new-jupiter-environment/MARS Magazine — Apple Gives Vision Pro Users a Big Update, But Not the One They Really Wantedhttps://www.marsmag.com/2025/09/09/apple-gives-vision-pro-users-a-big-update-but-not-the-one-they-really-wanted/What's new- Jupiter replaces Morning Light as the latest Environment in visionOS 26 RC. You download it the first time you use it.- It's interactive: use the new Explore Jupiter controls to choose Dawn, Sunrise, Afternoon, Sunset, Night and scrub time with a slider. You can also speed up Jupiter's rotation to watch storms and light shift in real time.- Your vantage point is Amalthea, one of Jupiter's inner moons, with accurate celestial motion around you.- Apple used NASA imagery for authenticity; the Great Red Spot is visible as you linger.- Public release of visionOS 26 is slated for Monday, September 15, 2025 (per current reporting).Why it matters- First Vision Pro Environment that invites active exploration (not just a static backdrop), hinting at richer, science-infused immersive scenes to come.- Ideal ambiance for space cinema sessions — think Apple TV+ sci-fi — with controllable lighting and planetary motion for vibe-matching.How to try it (quick steps)1. Update to visionOS 26 RC on Vision Pro.2. Open Control Center → Environments.3. Select Jupiter (first run will download assets).4. Tap Explore Jupiter to choose time-of-day presets or scrub time; try rotation speed-up to accentuate banding and storms.Pro tips for a great session- For movie night, set Sunset or Night to darken ambient light before pressing play.- After you've watched Jupiter for a bit at normal speed, look for the Great Red Spot creeping along the horizon — it's subtle and satisfying.- Look opposite Jupiter occasionally; you'll notice stars and other moons tracking realistically as Amalthea “turns.”Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher service Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com Website: ThePodTalk.Net

The panel kicks off with reactions to the iOS 26 Beta 9 and visionOS Beta 9 releases, highlighting improvements like 3D charting support for developers, enhanced accessibility ratings in the App Store, and visual refinements such as the updated liquid glass interface. While some bugs remain, overall performance feels crisper and more polished. Looking ahead to the event, the conversation centers on the iPhone 17 lineup — including rumors of a lighter iPhone 17 Air, spatial photography integration for Vision Pro, and whether the upgrades justify an annual refresh. Opinions are divided: some are eager to upgrade, while others remain skeptical about how compelling the changes will be. The panel also dives into expected updates for the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, including a possible return of blood oxygen monitoring and other health features. Other Apple ecosystem topics include: Apple Wallet enhancements — digital boarding passes with live activities, airport maps, luggage tracking, and U.S. passport support. AirPods Pro 3 rumors — improved noise cancellation, redesigned stems, and heart rate monitoring integration. HomePod and AirTag updates — hopes for better battery life and a more seamless user experience. Apple TV speculation — possible Wi-Fi 7 support and potential gaming opportunities. In a lighter segment, the group discusses Astropad's new anti-reflective “Fresh Coat” screen protector, designed to reduce glare by 75% on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models. They also dive into Opera's revamped tab management on iOS, debating its potential to rival Safari and Chrome. Finally, the episode touches on Apple's AI ambitions, exploring reports of a planned answer engine integrated with Siri, leveraging deals with OpenAI, Perplexity, or even Google Gemini. While Apple's AI strategy sparks mixed opinions, the panel agrees that user privacy and energy efficiency will likely remain top priorities. This episode serves as the perfect primer before Apple's big event, balancing news, rumors, personal insights, and witty banter to prepare listeners for what's next in the Apple ecosystem.

(Heads-up: immersive video can still trap the UI—force-quit if it happens.)Search crash fix rolled out via OTA; EyeSight reliably shows content again.AirDrop videos now open in Files; Messages gets a handful of small polish fixes.Known issue: Spotlight may show blank app icons in Siri Suggestions.Dev bits On-device AI hooks: apps can tap Apple's model directly; faster first responses = snappier features without the cloud.3D charts land in Swift Charts → expect true 3D data views in visionOS apps.Security tightening: default TLS 1.2+ for new builds; very old servers may break.

Marty talks about the recent list of best Apple Vision Pro apps of 2025  as suggested by PCMagazineThe Best Apple Vision Pro Apps for 2025https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-apple-vision-pro-appsWhat PCMag's list coversA spread across work/productivity, creativity & learning, entertainment, utilities, and games—with emphasis on apps that feel “native” in spatial computing. Work / ProductivityThings 3 (visionOS) — full task manager in floating windows; great with hand/eye input and multiple spaces. Zoom / Microsoft 365 / Box — core “office” stack is available on Vision Pro for meetings and docs (PCMag's earlier work-apps piece highlights these). Creativity & LearningNight Sky — astronomy in 3D space; spatial sky maps are a natural fit. Mindfulness (Apple) — breathing/reflect sessions as an ambient spatial experience; easy daily habit. Entertainment & MediaApple TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Crunchyroll — strongest “big screen” experiences today (some are iPad ports that still work well in an immersive theater). Note: Netflix still no app; use Safari as a fallback. YouTube native app is “on the roadmap.” GamesBlackbox (visionOS) — spatial puzzle design; Apple Design Award winner in Spatial Computing. Synth Riders — rhythm/fitness staple now on Vision Pro; good demo of full-body interaction. What the Golf? — playful physics/perspective gags translate well to big space. How to use the listPrioritize native visionOS apps first—they support depth, passthrough, and richer windowing. Then fill gaps with iPad ports you already love. Mix 2–3 apps per category to learn the UX: one work app (e.g., Things or Microsoft 365), one entertainment app (Apple TV/Disney+), one game (Synth Riders/Blackbox), and one wellness/learning app (Mindfulness/Night Sky). Quick takeawaysStart with one from each category to learn the platform's strengths.Prefer native visionOS versions for wow-factor and ergonomics.Expect a hybrid workflow until missing streaming apps arrive.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceEmail: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

The team also unpacks the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 betas, exploring performance, subtle refinements, and the heated debates around redesigned app icons — sparking an insightful conversation on usability, branding, and generational design preferences. A highlight of the episode is Apple's new AirPods feature that lets users remotely control the iPhone's camera via simple stem gestures. We explore its impact on photography, family shots, and even discuss the privacy implications this capability raises. Next, we shift to macOS Tahoe, including the much-anticipated addition of the Journal app to Mac, improvements in cross-device workflows, and Xcode's new AI integration, which now supports GPT-5 and Claude models. We discuss how Apple is quietly opening doors for developers while possibly sidestepping antitrust concerns. The conversation wraps with thoughts on the streaming landscape, including Apple TV+'s price increase, Apple Music's expansion to TuneIn, and the broader implications of rising subscription costs. As always, the panel shares candid takes, bold predictions, and personal workflows that Apple power users will find invaluable.

Eric, Dave, and Marty speak about the new VisionOS 26 developer beta, talk about a potential YouTube app, and review Gurman's AVP/Meta comparison. NEWS this week Beta 8 came out today:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notes What's new from beta 7 → beta 8Release/build only: Beta 8 arrived Aug 25, 2025 as 23M5332a (beta 7 was Aug 18 as 23M5328a). Apple doesn't list any additional new features, APIs, or headline-level changes for beta 8 beyond the build bump. Tooling: The latest posted tools are still Xcode 26 beta 6 (17A5305f) from Aug 18; no newer Xcode dropped alongside beta 8. Practical takeFor users: Treat beta 8 as a stability/bug-fix pass—no Apple-documented user-facing additions over beta 7. For developers: Re-run regressions on areas you touched for beta 7 (e.g., CompositorServices hover/immersion behavior, ARKit Accessory Tracking, RealityKit popover/presentation components, RemoteImmersiveSpace stability, StoreKit's new promo-offer APIs). Those were the substantive changes in beta 7 and remain the focus with beta 8.

The panel strongly recommends updating immediately to protect against potential exploits. Next, the group dives into the Apple vs. Masimo legal battle over blood oxygen sensing on the Apple Watch. Apple's clever workaround — shifting calculations to the iPhone — has sparked another lawsuit, leading to an animated discussion about patents, ethics, and industry strategy. Vision Pro takes center stage as the hosts explore immersive environments like Disney+'s Alien Earth and HBO's Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall, alongside the latest VisionOS betas. While some immersive features still haven't arrived, excitement is building as Vision Pro content grows. Additional highlights include: Apple Card promos: 5% cashback on gas and EV charging stations through Sept 15. Apple TV+ price hikes and the broader impact on streaming bundles.

Marty discusses changes and additions in the newly released mVisionOS26 developer beta 7Today's Pronote: visionOS 26 Beta 7 Release Noteshttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notesIf you were hoping for shiny new features… this one's about polish, not pop.For Vision Pro users, beta 7 doesn't add anything you'll immediately notice. Your day-to-day feels like beta 6. The same small quirks are still listed in the notes— occasional rough edges with Mac Virtual Display, and a few Safari oddities. Bottom line: if you're just looking to use the headset, this build is about stability, not new toys.No Jupiter environment and No curved panoramic Virtual displaysFor developers, there is one new callout: Apple flags a Memory Tools known issue where leak detectors can falsely report leaks in some Swift/Objective-C bridged cases. Translation: if your leak graph suddenly lights up after updating, take a breath—it might be the tools, not your app. Otherwise, the dev sections largely mirror beta 6—ARKIt, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI—steady as she goes.Users: install if you want polish; don't expect features.Devs: keep testing, but treat new “leaks” with suspicion and focus on regression passes.What's new for Vision Pro usersNo newly announced features or UI changes.Experience should feel the same as beta 6.A few small quirks still listed (e.g., occasional Mac Virtual Display edge artifacts; some Safari behavior).Practical tip: If you were happy on beta 6, beta 7 is safe for polish; don't install just to chase features.What's new for developersMemory Tools: Possible false leak positives after updating—validate before refactoring.Most framework notes (ARKit, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI) are effectively unchanged from beta 6.Good week for regression testing and performance measurements rather than API exploration.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net 

Marty talks about the latest Gurman opinion about the lackluster amount of spatial video available for the AVP and implications for the futureFollow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceToday's ProNote: Apple's Vision Pro Is Suffering From a Lack of Immersive Videohttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-08-17/why-doesn-t-the-vision-pro-have-more-immersive-video-apple-is-slow-rolling-it-mefmwpb1 ·   Core problem: Vision Pro remains niche due to the $3,499 price and a lack of must‑have features; visionOS 26 polish (e.g., widgets) hasn't shifted perception.·   Immersive video = killer app… but scarce: Apple has slow‑rolled releases—about 27 total—so owners often feel there's little to watch.·   Concrete gaps: still promoting NBA All‑Star 2024 while no 2025 immersive version exists months later; concerts are limited (Metallica, Bono; a short Weeknd clip).·   Series are thin: Wild Life (4 eps), Elevated (1), Boundless (2), Adventure (5), Prehistoric Planet (2), Concert for One (1).·   3D ≠ truly immersive: 3D Disney/Harry Potter/James Bond titles don't deliver the all‑around‑you feel of Apple's immersive videos.·   Why the drip‑feed: Apple shot a lot of immersive content, but production is expensive and resource‑intensive; with slow sales, Apple is metering releases to avoid draining the reserve.·   Catch‑22: Immersive video is what sells the headset, yet low sales make a big content push hard to justify—leading to a standstill.·   Retail angle: Apple leans on immersive video in store demos because it's the strongest “wow” moment.·   Sales reality: Estimates suggest well under 1M U.S. units since launch, weakening the case for heavy near‑term spend on programming.·   Roadmap tension: A faster‑chip refresh could land this year (incremental), while a cheaper, lighter model isn't expected until 2027—risking today's content feeling dated by the time mass adoption arrives.·   Third‑party pipeline: Apple released a Mac app for immersive production and partnered with Blackmagic; a racing doc is due next month—but partners likely won't bridge the gap if Apple doesn't go big.·   Bottom line: Vision Pro's best trick is immersive video, but until Apple expands the library, it remains an impressive demo more than a reason to buy.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net
