Apple has released a plethora of new updates for old versions of its operating systems. The new releases include:. As Apple is focused on getting the upcoming batch of its OSes (iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia) ready, and improving the current-gen (iOS 17.6, iPadOS 17.6, macOS 14.6 Sonoma), it comes as no surprise that the updates for older devices bring no new features.

Apple has finally launched the macOS Sequoia public beta, which means you can install macOS 15 now and mess around with all the cool new changes to come later in the year.

Benjamin and Chance spend most of the episode discussing iOS 18.1 with the debut of the first Apple Intelligence beta. That includes the new Writing Tools, notification summaries and Reduce Interruptions focus mode. It also features a new design for Siri, but lacks most of the new Siri functionality set to come later, which seems like an unenforced error.

The agency has received increasing reports of people being infected by worrying strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae—strains that can resist the last remaining antibiotics available against the bacteria and can severely sicken anyone.

Rich people have become obsessed with building new cities lately—an affliction that extends even to hip-hop and R&B singer Akon.

Akon promised that, soon, the African country would have “a futuristic city” on its hands, a “real-life Wakanda” that could act as a paragon for “how African society should become in the future.”
