AWT News Update: September 8, 2016

While there’s not as much exciting news as in yesterday’s marathon podcast, today’s can be listened to in its entirety in just a little over four minutes. Here’s what we have for you today:

  • We take exception to a very clickbaitish article about AirPods on another website (we’re looking at you, Business Insider) <— don’t click that!
  • GeekBench 4 results show the iPhone 7 Plus to be a fast smartphone, even faster than the iPad Pro!
  • Some features “advertised” at WWDC for macOS Sierra and iOS 10 don’t appear to have made it to the first non-beta versions of the operating systems that shipped to developers and public beta testers today
  • The Taptic Engine in the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will start getting used more often for feedback now that Apple has announced that an API will be available for developers
