Episode 155 - WWDC 24 Recap: Smooth As A Babies Bottom

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show where our show notes are written and not corrected by any A.I. Allison, Brian, and Jeanine get together to recap and give our thoughts on all the big announcements from WWDC 24.   We start off with a story about a phone booth, yes, a phone booth.   Elon Musk has gotten a remote tribe in the Amazon connected to the internet, and you would never guess what has happened!   We then discuss the pilot for a new sitcom called Don’t Look Now. This sitcom is all about the blind starring the blind, and produced by some of the blind. There will be a very private screening of the sitcom in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, July 6, 2024. If you would like to be invited to the VIP very important people, not visually impaired people please email us at [email protected] and we will work on getting you an invite to attend the premier event.   We then discuss the XR Access Conference that Brian just attended out on Roosevelt Island in New York City. This then leads us in to a conversation about the Meta Ray Ban Glasses.   We then dive in to our recap of this year’s WWDC. We start off discussing the newly announced Apple Intelligence. And after years of false promises will Siri finally get smarter? We discuss some of the things the new Siri will supposedly be able to do. And here is how Siri will work with ChatGPT in iOS 18. And there are a bunch of new writing tools that will be powered by A.I. We then discuss all the new A.I. features coming to mail.     The iPhone, iPad, and Mac will be getting a new Password Manager application. The app will also work on your Window devices.   In iOS 18 and iPad 18 customizing your Home Screen will be a lot easier. And thankfully the global issue of iOS not supporting RCS messaging will be over. Control Center will become a lot more useful. Image Playground is another new app coming to iPhones and Macs. And there is a massive redesign coming to the Photos app.   We then discuss all the new features coming to the iPad which are pretty much the same as the iPhone except you also get a calculator.   Tap to send cash will be a new feature in iOS 18.   Live phone recordings is a new feature that won’t end in spectacular disaster.   iOS 18 will now alert you when you are using a slow charger, but there is a catch.   We then discuss all the new features coming to Mac OS Sequoia. iPhone Mirroring is coming to the Mac, but will it be accessible? Safari is also getting a massive revamp with a ton of A.I. features.   Non-verbal gestures are coming to Air Pods near you.   There are a lot of new health and fitness features coming to the Apple Watch along with Live Activities. The translate app makes its way to the watch in Watch OS11.   AppleTV gets a feature called Insight also known on Amazon Prime as X-ray.   And Brian finally gets to find out if the Geek was back!   And of course it’s more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.
