Summary

In this episode of In Touch With iOS, host David Ginsburg is joined by Jill McKinley, Marty Jencius, Chuck Joiner, and Eric Bolden to unpack Apple’s post-WWDC 2025 news. The conversation starts with Vision Pro and VisionOS beta capabilities, including spatial widgets and immersive media viewing in a VR environment. Marty details how he’s placing widgets in his virtual space, while Eric highlights improvements in gaze-based navigation.

The discussion moves to iOS 26 and its public beta (18.6), spotlighting updates focused on battery life and Apple’s AI features — particularly how regulatory hurdles are shaping rollouts in international markets like China.

macOS 26, codenamed “Tahoe,” gets praise for its sleek new “liquid glass” UI and personalization upgrades, including a theming engine that enhances accessibility. The team reflects on UI changes and how they affect daily workflows.

Chuck shares insights from Apple leadership on multitasking in iPadOS, while Jill recounts using her iPad in the wild to stay productive. The group continues by reviewing Apple Watch’s new accessibility tools and watch faces, before diving into improved Reminders functionality and syncing.

Also on the docket: Meta’s adoption of Passkeys, a new Google ad taking aim at iOS features, Adobe’s Firefly AI toolset, Apple’s Back to School promotion, and new Logitech gear built for Vision Pro. The episode wraps with a preview of Macstock 2024 and closing thoughts from the panel.
