This week’s show includes our takeaways from the September 12 Apple event. We dive deep on the new hardware, and I give Katie a hard time about buying a new iPhone. We also start discussing the features available in iOS 11, which will ship in just a few days. I’ve spent a lot of time using this beta software and have some thoughts and ideas on what works and what doesn’t and how to get the most out of it.
