Summary
In this episode of In Touch With iOS, host David Ginsburg gathers Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle, and Eric Bolden to explore Apple’s recent announcements and beta releases. The show opens with a detailed look at VisionOS 26 and the expanding role of the Vision Pro in both collaborative design and enterprise applications. A standout segment covers a new 3D workspace app called Analog Two, which enables immersive teamwork and spatial project management.
The panel goes deeper, discussing Vision Pro’s potential in medicine — including its application in improving colonoscopy procedures. With commentary from each guest, they explore how spatial computing could transform diagnostic and healthcare tools.
Shifting to iOS 26, the discussion critiques Apple’s recent features such as HomePod crossfade, noting a perceived lack of excitement. Chuck, Marty, and Guy also reflect on the ongoing transition away from Intel Macs and the support drop-off for older iPhones, prompting a nostalgic conversation on Apple’s hardware evolution.
Later, the Dave introduces Setapp — a software subscription platform that bundles a wide range of apps for Mac and iOS — and evaluates its value for productivity and power users. Dave shares his experience with T-Mobile’s home internet service, and a squirrel chewing on AT&T fiber cable knocking out his internet, while the group discusses the branding and industry reception of CarPlay Ultra.
The episode wraps up with a preview of Macstock 9 and a celebration of two decades of podcasting, reinforcing the show’s deep roots in the Apple community.
