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!
