With Apple Watch Series 4, that big, black ring around the bezel will finally be filled and the display will go edge-to-edge, iPhone X style. But that simply scratches the surface of Apple's next-generation watch. There'll be a new System-in-Package (SIP) too, sure. Maybe some new radio tech. Potentially better sensors. But will Apple Watch go round? Will it go Android the way iPod went Windows? And what about the band situation? Watch is Apple's most important device — and here's where it may just be going next!

5G is being touted as the latest wireless technology to revolutionize the world. But that's what they said about 'fake' 4G and even 'real' LTE... So, to find out what's really going on with millimeter waves, small cells, massive MIMO, beam-forming, and full duplex, when we can realistically expect 'real' 5G and not just LTE add-ons, how long deployment will take by carriers, and what the next-generation services might look like, I got Daniel Bader, executive editor of Android Central, on the line, and... well... hit play!

If you’re being given free drinks, it’s because somebody wants you drunk. Wait, what? A week or so ago, a paper was published outlining just how much — and how frequently — Google collects our personal data through devices running Android and Chrome. It was written by Douglas C. Schmidt, Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, who my colleague, Jerry Hildenbrand of Android Central said is, and I quote, “very well-versed in Android” Here's what it says... and what it means for all of us.

What concerns you more, a drive failing or the contents of that drive getting out? If someone broke into your house, are the physical items and files they could steal more valuable and sensitive than what's on your computer? If someone got a hold of your backups, is what they'd find there relationship or career ending? These are the questions you need to ask yourself before deciding on whether or not to encrypt your backups. Fail safe vs. fail secure. I used to just assume you should encrypt, especially in today's climate, and especially after talking to information security people. But, after talking to backup and information technology people, I discovered there's a lot more to it than I imagined. And, I think you will too.

Every September, all the attention in the tech world tractor-beams into the Bay Area of California for Apple’s annual iPhone event.

Today’s show all about what iPhone X Plus could learn from Galaxy Note 9. Yeah, you read that right. Apple has made the iPhone Plus line its own with features like multi-column layouts in landscape mode.

Apple Podcasts, one of the largest and most popular podcast directory service on the planet, has de-listed four out of five of Alex Jones’s Infowars shows — not just specific episodes but the entire shows — for violating the terms of service against hate speech. Why did Apple — and fast followers Google, Facebook, and Spotify — hit the delete key? Does it have anything to do with content policies, freedom of speech, censorship, companies vs. governments, or are these companies so big and powerful they're indistinguishable from governments?

On Tuesday, Apple announced its best June quarter ever, with services revenue of $9.55 billion — up 31% year over year. And a large part of that is App Store revenue. On Wednesday, Apple announced an end to its App Store affiliate program, which paid a small commission for links that resulted in the purchase of an app. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to http://brilliant.org/vector and sign up for free.

There’s a new book coming out called Creative Selection about how Apple makes insanely great products. Now, this isn’t a promo. Ken’s not a sponsor. I got a review copy of the book early and I’ve read it twice already. It’s just that damn good. The first part deals with how Apple made the Safari web browser and WebKit from KHTML. And how the singular focus was — fast. Nothing. No code. No feature. Could be checked in if it slowed Safari down one bit. Zero regression, that was their holy Fremen war. And it got me thinking just how fast you make Safari on iPhone and iPad today. Not just in terms of raw speed but convenience as well. And since I’ve been getting a bunch of requests for more tips videos as well, sharing made the kind of sense that does. So, a few basics to start off with and make sure everyone, new and ninja, are up to speed, then some iOS 12 Shortcuts magic to bring us home.
