iOS 26.1, iOS 18.7.2, and Whether You Should Update (Ep. 1)

iPhone Pocket?, Is Tesla Adding CarPlay Support & The iPhone Air Fallout (The Tech Desk Weekly | Ep. 2)

In Episode 2 of The Tech Desk Weekly, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on in the Apple world right now — the now sold-out iPhone Pocket, Tesla possibly adding Apple CarPlay, and the iPhone Air fallout. I also explain why this episode had to change, because realistically Apple is done releasing products for the year. Shorter episodes for now, but as I get more comfortable with the podcast format, they’ll get a bit longer. Watch the full video episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

iOS 26.1, iOS 18.7.2, and Whether You Should Update (Ep. 1)

In this episode of The Tech Desk Weekly, I break down Apple’s latest updates: iOS 26.1 and iOS 18.7.2. These are two very different updates: one brings a few refinements and new features for newer iPhones, and the other focuses on security for devices that aren’t ready for iOS 26 yet. I’ll talk about: * What’s new in iOS 26.1 * Why iOS 18.7.2 matters for older iPhones * Battery drain myths * Why headlines exaggerate update issues * My experience running iOS 26.1 on 3 iPhones If you enjoy the show, follow The Tech Desk Weekly and subscribe on YouTube for more Apple updates every week.
