That Real Blind Tech Show

Episode 138 - A Different Kind of Apple Recap, Gender Neutral Dongles


Listen Later

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show where the entire gang is back together to discuss the Apple Wanderlust event, the products we have already ordered, and much more.

 

We start off discussing why we recorded this episode later than usual. Hey, like we have said before, we got busy lives.

 

Apple kicked off its Wanderlust event with a video of how Apple products have saved lives. Well let’s just say this gentleman did not make the video as his butt dial triggered the S.O.S. alert.

 

No, Mexico did not discover alien life!

 

 

And in the in you can’t make this shit up corner, a woman mistakenly swallowed an AirPod thinking it was a vitamin.

 

One of us picked the wrong week to join BetMGM.

 

We then discuss some disturbing trends going on with the tremendous Be My Eyes Virtual Volunteer. Thank you very little ChatGPT. After we recorded, Be My Eyes released the following statement about what has been going on with ChatGPT and photos with people in them.

 

We then discuss the chaos of what was Apple new product launch day.

 

Then one of us does a total about face about an Apple product they said they had no interest in. Hmm, wonder who the flip flopper could be?

 

We then dive in to the Apple event. Not to worry as we assume you have most of the details elsewhere so we go through everything only as That Real Blind Tech show can. We start off discussing all the new iPhone 15’s that were announced. We discuss the new action button coming to the Pro lineup and what its capabilities will be. We discuss the switch from lighting to USBc and how the port will be standard USBc. Relax everyone, it has been confirmed that the Apple cloth will work with all iPhone 15 models! The iPhone 15’s USBc will be capable of reverse charging for your other Apple USBc devices, and possibly non-Apple USBc devices. Apple in iOS 17 has introduced 20 new ringtones.

 

We then get to iOS 17 and the bugs we have been having. Since iOS 17 launched today, you may have already updated, but if you did a backup, you can probably still roll back to iOS 16 until Apple stops signing it which could be the end of the week. Remember, not everyone will have the same bugs. We discuss being able to invoke Siri without the Hey and using back to back commands.

 

Apple announced the new Apple Watch 9 and Ultra 2. The sighted community went all gaga over the new hand gesture feature announced, but is it really a new feature? On device Siri processing also comes to the new Apple Watches.

 

Apple introduced new Air Pods with a USBc case. Bad news if you only want the new case.

 

Mac OS Sonoma will drop on September 26th. Chrome on the Mac will soon get access to iCloud keychain.

 

While none of us have this product yet, it sounded to cool not to mention. The Flic Twist Button for all your smart home products.

 

And it’s more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.
