08/22/24 • 75 min

On this week’s episode of The Mac & Forth Show, Alan, Dean Steve, and Karl dive into the latest Apple-related news on their final episode for the foreseeable future. First, they debunk a recent iPhone 16 event invite hoax, then discuss Apple's re-release of iOS 17.6.1 along with updates for watchOS and tvOS, and the UK’s decision to close its antitrust investigation into Apple. They also explore how a victim of mail theft used an AirTag to track down the criminals and discuss the new ability to access Apple Podcasts directly through the web. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all our listeners for their support over the years. All this, and slightly more on this week’s episode.
