This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: iOS 16.4 doesn’t look earth-shattering or anything, but there are some cool new features coming.
Also on The CultCast:
- You need to toggle this switch on your iPhone ASAP so thieves don’t ruin your life.
- Working for Apple’s secret Exploratory Design Group sounds like a dream job.
- We’re giving away a very fancy backpack from Harber London.
- Erfon put his new HomePod stereo pair to the test in a head-to-head audio smackdown with the originals. The results are … disappointing.
- Windows users get a little taste of iMessage goodness. But just a taste!
