It's the Apple Glowtime event recap! Jeff and Tom are joined by Joe Moyer from 24Letters.net to recap all of the announcements at Apple's recent annual iPhone event. Is it a September to remember?

Join us as we breakdown the new AirPods and hearing related features for AirPods Pro 2, the Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2 in Satin Black. The new iPhone 16 looks excellent, and the iPhone 16 Pro lineup is more "pro" even with its boring colors.

Plus, macOS Sequoia, iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, visionOS 2, and tvOS 18 are all being released on September 16th!

Jeff and Tom have a delightful conversation with Marc Palmer, developer of the Shareshot app! We learn how Marc got started with computers and developing software, other apps he's made and works on, the story behind the creation of Shareshot, and the challenges faced today by developers with regards to pricing strategies. To wrap things up, we have a quick roundtable discussion on the upcoming Apple iPhone Event!

Jeff and Tom discuss new apps and a return to an old writing companion, as well as update their experience with iPad screen covers.

• NotchNook: Making the most of your Mac's notch, even if it doesn't have one!
• Shareshot: An easy way to share screenshots with style. Fantastic utility!
• Tom revisits his note-taking journey and explains why Craft is again becoming his go-to app despite Bear's simplicity. The discussion touches on the practical reasons for his switch, from a seamless organization with subpages to a better writing experience with Apple Pencil.
• Months after trying out Rock Paper Pencil, Jeff and Tom share their long-term impressions. Has the friction-style writing experience held up?
