Yeah, fine, Apple’s probably not going to suddenly let you plug your phone into a monitor and use it like a MacBook. But with USB-C, it could, right? Sort of. There are a lot of “sort of” moments to come with USB-C iPhones, it appears. We tried to make sense of them all, and what they might mean for the iPhone 15. I’m not sure how far we got, but we had a good time.
Is the iPhone 15 going to blow your mind with its incredible new features? Probably not. But it might have a new port, a new material, and even a new name. And you better believe it’s going to have a Dynamic Island. Plus we have Chrome news, GoPro news, Sonos news, Disney news, and much more. Start working on your new YouTube face, friends!
It’s the last week before Labor Day in the US, which means it’s also the last week before Gadget Season begins again in earnest. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, Google, it seems like everybody’s got a product launch in the next six weeks. Today on the show we preview a bit of what’s to come, and dig into all the best stuff coming out of IFA this year. It’s the year of wireless charging, y’all!
Because I ... did not. Even now, I’m not 100 percent sure what it is. There’s a website called Bing Maps, okay, yes, but then the app really just wants to tell me about Microsoft Traffic. And now there’s a way to get Bing Maps info in the Microsoft Start app, which has a feature called Commute that is evidently powered by Bing Maps. Microsoft Start, of course, looks remarkably like the Bing app. Which has mapping stuff in it, but isn’t exactly a mapping app.
I don’t get it either. But you can download Microsoft Start with Commute now!
