  • I am really looking forward to the new Apple software. I think I will use the walkie-talkie feature of the Apple Watch a lot. Yeah, I know you can text or call but just pushing the “talk” button and being in instant communication is way cool.

    Grace pretty much has gotten the garden in. We had a funny moment as we were a pair of draft horses hauling a bag of lime and couple bags of compost up to the garden. It would have been funny to watch as these two old foggies struggled to haul the cart up the hill and then just as we hit the garden the entire floor of the garden cart gave up the ghost and gave way. I guess I’ll have some rebuilding on my schedule with a few sheets of plywood.

  • Dear Friends,

    I almost hopped into the car and started driving back to Key West when the high temperature here in Vermont was in the 40s this week! I think we will see some return to normal June temperatures by this weekend, but it certainly was an unexpected thrill to search for long sleeved shirts.

    Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference was this week and, as usual, software and operating systems were the focus of this gathering of software developers. We have a comprehensive run-down of what you will be seeing this fall from Apple for Mac, iOS, Watch and Apple TV operating systems in this week’s edition.

    One interesting tidbit that most reports are not talking about is that Apple’s AirPods will gain the “Live Listen” feature that heretofore has been only available with some of the MFI Hearing Aids. This enables you to place your iPhone in the middle of the conference table or even at the lectern in a big hall and have the audio streamed to your hearing aids or, in this case, to Apple AirPods. How long before Apple gets into the hearing aid business?

    This week’s Kibbles & Bytes Exclusive features the 9.7-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage, Wi-Fi and Cellular. I have two units in Gold and one in Rose Gold. These are brand new and come with Apple’s 1-year warranty. They are a discontinued product but can be a powerful navigation tool or production iPad. They regularly sold for over $800 but for these three units you can snag a brand new iPad Pro for only $649!
