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.

Un episodio muy de barra y tornillo: risas, confesiones y un repaso a la semana Apple con tono cercano y sin dogmas. Arrancan recordando que el podcast es entretenimiento tech (no una clase magistral) y se nota: iPhone 17 Pro Max que casi cae en la reserva, AirPods Pro 3 agotadísimos, bromas con India/China y fabricación, y el eterno “¿seguimos siendo el target de Apple?” mientras la alternativa tampoco enamora.En clave software, comentan el empujón de Apple a la IA (ese Foundation Models Framework para integrarla en apps), el salto forzado a Xcode 26, y las actualizaciones iOS/iPadOS 26.0.1 y watchOS para arreglar Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, fotos y VoiceOver: conclusión práctica—actualiza, insensato. También hubo caída de servicios (iCloud, Apple Music…), ya resuelta.En noticias y cultura pop: el troleo de KitKat al iPhone 17 Pro arrasa en redes; tráiler de “Down 70 Road” (Apple TV+) supera el millón de views; y se cita la cancelación de “Savant” con Jessica Chastain. Todo sazonado con la DMA de la UE, que abre pagos alternativos y obliga a cambios en App Store antes de fin de año. Hardware a la vista: rumores de nuevos monitores mini-LED (90/120 Hz) y repaso express de precios de Studio Display y Pro Display XDR. Entre herramientas, tips que valen oro: cómo escanear documentos con Notas (menú contextual, recorte, filtros y exportar a PDF) y el eterno debate Notas vs Notion vs Ulysses (más Omnifocus para GTD). Además, jugueteo con Raspberry Pi Zero para proyectos DIY de radio y hogar.Cierre con autocrítica y comunidad: agradecen feedback (incluida una reseña dura) y proponen encuesta en Telegram para orientar próximos monográficos (p. ej., Notas vs Notion). Espíritu de garaje, cero dogmas y muchas ganas de pasar un buen rato.Palabras clave (SEO): Apple, iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods Pro 3, iOS 26.0.1, Xcode 26, Foundation Models Framework, Apple TV+, Down 70 Road, Savant, DMA Unión Europea, App Store pagos alternativos, Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, monitores mini-LED, Notas de Apple, escanear documentos iPhone, Notion, Ulysses, Omnifocus, Raspberry Pi Zero.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

Sorg shares stories from producing Defy Wrestling in Seattle, including packing $30K worth of video gear and dealing with TSA “love letters.” Dave brings real-world testing of the iPhone 17 Pro Max camera with stunning 8x zoom shots.

Meta heeft zijn nieuwste brillen onthuld en positioneert zich als koploper in de slimme brillen-race. Over slim gesproken: je Apple-apparaten worden binnenkort ook slimmer want Apple Intelligence spreekt eindelijk Nederlands. Verder in deze aflevering: hoe steden experimenteren met flexibelere laadplekken, waarom bakfietsfabrikant Urban Arrow nu óók een longtailmaakt, zorgen over de krasgevoelige iPhone 17 Pro, en de eerste trailer van The Mandalorian and Grogu. Tips uit deze aflevering: Apple Watch: Een nieuw gebaar voor de Apple Watch in watchOS 26. Je kan voortaan je pols van je af draaien om timers, oproepen of andere meldingen te beëindigen. Werkt vanaf de Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Ultra 2 en alle nieuwe Apple Watches. Serie: Dexter: Resurrection is eindelijk weer ouderwetse Dexter. Het gaat verder waar het nogal matige, Dexter: New Blood gebleven was. Daar werd Dexter aan het eind nogal fataal neergeschoten maar de titel van dit seizoen zegt het al: toch niet. Na een coma gaat hij verder waar hij gebleven is, en komen ook een hoop oude personages uit eerdere seizoenen weer terug. Dexter: Resurrection balanceert mooi tussen een nieuw verhaal maar wel dat hele bekende Dexter-gevoel. Dat is ook te zien in de waarderingen: het vorige seizoen kreeg vrij matige cijfers van het publiek, bijna elke aflevering van dit seizoen scoort gemiddeld een 9+. In Nederland te zien op SkyShowtime, met elke vrijdag een nieuwe aflevering – er staan er nu al drie op. Series: Slow Horses S5 is begonnen op Apple TV+, evenals The Morning Show S4. Op Prime is Gen V S2 begonnen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Überfordert Apple seine Kunden mit dem Redesign? Was taugen die Neuerungen? Hat Apple Intelligence dazugelernt? Das treibt uns in Episode 105 um.

In the latest Mobile Views podcast, Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discuss Apple's recent product announcements, focusing more on software than hardware. They note that the new operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, are where users will see the most significant changes, with updates scheduled to be released on September 15th. The new operating systems have a "liquid glass" design, which changes the overall look and navigation. They also touch on the new iPhone "Air," which they theorize may be a precursor to a foldable phone, as it is a result of Apple's research and development for foldable technology.   They also share their thoughts on other new products and features. Ogasawara and Westfall express disappointment that the new AirPods Pro did not include an LCD display case or a thermometer, features they were hoping for. Ogasawara also discusses his experience with the Google Pixel 10 Pro's AI features, including the built-in thermometer. They also talk about the new sleep score feature on watchOS 26 and the upcoming hypertension detection. Finally, they express their frustration with the lack of progress in phone technology, reminiscing about a time when new features like GPS and Wi-Fi were added every year, and they suggest that people who upgrade every two or three years will find the changes more exciting than those who upgrade annually.

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 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.

The episode transitions to the Vision Pro and its VisionOS 26 beta 6 release, noting a lack of major changes but reflecting on the broader developer beta process and the excitement or skepticism within the community, especially over anticipated new environments and hardware rumors like a possible M5 chip in future Vision Pro models.
