In today’s episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive into some of the most frustrating tech quirks, including why turning off an iPhone is so complicated and a Mac VoiceOver bug that traps users in the Dock.

They also discuss blind driving events in Quebec, an honest review of the AwareWolf Gear Urban Xplorer cane, and why Apple’s latest iPhone 16E naming is causing confusion.

Plus, we cover AI scams, voice cloning dangers, and a clever way to stay safe from fraud.
Listeners also share their thoughts on the Oko app’s subscription model, Thunderbird as an Outlook alternative, and a hilarious discussion on cane maintenance (yes, really).
