583: In the Car, With My AirPods

Rumors of a foldable iPad, spatial computing on the Mac, how often we use Street View-like features, and the iOS 18 features we've turned off.

Our interest in current smart glasses, the smart tech we use to monitor our homes and pets, our thoughts on iOS 18.2 features like Genmoji and Image Playground, and how we organize and manage holiday gift-giving lists for ideas and tracking.

Our family tech support travails, tech gift recommendations under $50, smart home decorations, and seasonal music recommendations.

Our tech use with family and friends during the holidays; gadgets we'd bring for a long, power-limited day trip like attending a Supreme Court rally; seeking or avoiding Black Friday tech deals; and the apps we use for recipe discovery and management.

How we deal with physical media, the most tech heavy restaurants we've patronized, tech that ended up disappointing us, and the social media networks of yesteryear that we'd bring back.

How we read (with or without tech), our favorite pet tech, whether we'd get a HomePod with a screen, and the small cute tech we like.

Our default apps on iOS, how we feel about Genmoji, our favorite end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms, and whether we use Live Activities for news and sports.

Our use of tech in Halloween celebrations; the smallest tech we regularly use and the small gadget that wowed us; which Apple Intelligence features we're using and looking forward to next; and the one item we'd give up this week, tech or non-tech.

All the Apple devices we use, the risks of switching to the Apple Password app, the games we play on our phones, and whether tech plays a part in our hobbies.

Our experiences with Passkeys and thoughts on their upcoming portability, opinions on Threads showing online status by default, views on Amazon's new Kindle lineup including the color model, and our preferred methods and platforms for consuming news.
