Essential Apple Podcast Extra: A Long Lost Show

Just after Christmas Simon, Nick and Jim got together and recorded a show, but because life and reasons it never got released… So here it is in all of its “glory”! Sound quality isn’t as good as usual because a) Simon had just moved and wasn’t properly set up, and b) this was recovered from the backup recordings… also for the same reason there aren’t any proper show notes, they got overwritten months ago – apologies (though being months out of date I don’t suppose that matters too much!)

Essential Apple Podcast 265: A late, late, late show…

Simon and Nick got together for a chat on what was a very, very, light news week and talked about a variety of stuff including the fact that Simon is on the move again (which of course accounts for the lateness of this show and the absence of any newer ones (as he is currently buried in boxes, and trying to arrange furniture etc., again!) We promise to try and get back on schedule as soon as possible. Sorry about that.

Essential Apple Podcast 259: Far Out – Man!

This one is ridiculously (Nay, obscenely) late -– sorry all, Obviously it is now out of date but you might still enjoy our guesses of what might have been in the Far Out event and some of the other stories. I can only apologise deeply for the delay.
Anyway, that aside, Nick and Simon are back again after their summer sojourn, I know we didn’t announce it – it just sort of happened because the news was so sparse…
Putting all that behiind us, we are hopefully back on the track and with the Apple circuit about to go into high gear as everyone looks forward to the Far Out event on 7th Sept and we look at a few stories from the last few weeks

iOS 16 Public Beta
Posted on

iOS 16 Public Beta 1 Release Date Announced

Historically, Apple has made the first beta available to developers on the same day as the announcement, which is of course, today. Apple wants to make sure that the update is in as good a place as it can be before making it available to the public, though, and that won’t happen until later this year – likely in or around September.

But those who are on the public beta program won’t need to wait quite so long – the first beta to be made available via that program will land next month in July.
