<p>If there's one Apple World Today Deals Shop bundle that you should not miss, it's the <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/2016-pay-what-you-want-mac-bundle?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=2016-pay-what-you-want-mac-bundle_092816"><strong>Pay What You Want Mac Bundle!</strong></a> We do this a couple of times a year, each with a slightly different mix of apps that are designed to give you a spectrum of capabilities.   </p>

<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">Lots of nice Apple-related stories today on this beautiful Tuesday:</p><ul><li>FileMaker announces FileMaker Cloud, which -- as you'd surmise -- is a cloud solution for FileMaker databases</li><li>Fujitsu is warning users of any of its ScanSnap scanners to NOT use them with macOS Sierra. We tell you why.</li><li>The DarkSky iPhone app now has a website companion to increase its audience and usability</li><li>YouTube Go will help you watch more videos on the road without going over your data cap...but only in India for now</li></ul>

<p>iOS 10 has one feature that people have been asking for since 2007 when the first iPhone appeared on the scene -- a way to "delete" the apps that Apple automatically installs on each and every iPhone or iPad. You'll notice I'm using quotes around the word "delete", and that's because Apple doesn't really let you delete the apps to save storage space -- instead, you're now able to delete the app icon so it's not bothering you.</p>

<p>We nerds end up getting a <em>lot</em> of different devices, and sometimes it gets crazy if you want to use a Mac Bluetooth keyboard with one of them for a test. With many keyboards, you have to un-pair from the Mac, then pair with the new device. Want to type on your Mac again? Un-pair from the device, then pair with the Mac again. <a target="_blank" href="http://mac.eltima.com/mac-products.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eltima Software</a> has a great solution in the form of a free utility for Mac called <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/typeeto-remote-full-size-bluetooth/id970502923?mt=12" rel="noopener noreferrer">Typeeto</a> that makes it simple to pair a Mac keyboard with an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Android device, you name it.</p>

<p>Time flies. It seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that Apple held its Q3 earnings call, and now it has announced that the final earnings report of the 2016 Apple fiscal year will be released on October 27, 2016. </p>

<p>For most people shooting photos with a digital camera or iPhone, there's not a lot of thought put into what format the file is saved in. Back in the days when storage was limited both in SD cards and smartphones, files were always saved in JPEG format, meaning that they were compressed immediately to save space. But compression has an effect on the quality of digital photos, so professionals save in RAW, uncompressed format. iOS 10 now has the ability to work with RAW files, but the standard Camera app still resorts to JPEG. That's why apps like <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/obscura-camera/id915939220?mt=8" rel="noopener noreferrer">Obscura Camera</a> (US$4.99) are gaining popularity as a way to shoot RAW images with the iPhone or iPad.</p>

<p>Have you ever wished that you could make a standard weather app reflect your interests and lifestyle? That's the idea behind the new "Smart Forecasts" feature added today to the free <a href="http://Weather Underground: Forecasts, Interactive Radar, and Weather Alerts by Weather Underground, LLC https://appsto.re/us/4iI-C.i">Wunderground</a> app (in-app purchases available). Powered by the over 200,000 personal weather stations that are part of the Weather Underground network (both Marty Edwards and I run personal weather stations), Smart Forecasts provide hyperlocal forecasts tailored to a number of outdoor activities.   </p>

<p>If you were one of the lucky folks to get a brand new iPhone 7 during the last week -- especially that Jet Black model -- then you'll want to take note of today's AWT Deals Shop bargain. We've partnered with ZeroLemon for their <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/iphone-7-razor-armor-shockproof-scratch-resistant-case?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=iphone-7-razor-armor-shockproof-scratch-resistant-case_092316"><strong>iPhone 7 Razor Armor Shockproof & Scratch Resistant Case</strong></a> for just $21.99.   </p>

<p>One of the few home automation product categories that I find really useful is home robotics, particularly with robot vacuum cleaners. I've owned robot vacuums since the days of the first Roombas, and they're perfect for tidying up rooms while getting other work done. Pyle Audio is moving into this space today with the new $289.99 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pyleusa.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smart Robot Vacuum with Built-in Camera</a>, which features not only six different cleaning modes, but an HD camera that can show you -- via an iPhone app -- what just got cleaned up under that couch!</p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.960000038146973px">Today we take a quick look at a nifty new high-tech jacket from SCOTTeVEST, but most of the 6 minutes or so of this podcast is spent talking about what Steve thinks are some of <strong>the marquee features of macOS Sierra</strong>. If you haven't yet installed the latest version of the Mac operating system, you're in for a very nice surprise!</span></p>

<p>Apple's renovation of older Apple retail outlets continues at a fast pace, and this weekend will see the reopening of four US stores with the new Jony Ive/Angela Ahrendts design. </p>

<p>That didn't take long. </p><p>macOS Sierra just hit the streets yesterday and Apple has released the first developer beta for version 10.12.1. iOS 10.0, watch OS 3.0 and tvOS 10.0 all showed up on September 13, and they all have beta versions ready for testing by developers in the form of iOS 10.1, watchOS 3.1, and tvOS 10.0.1. iOS has already gone through one bug fix, with the current version number at 10.0.1.</p>

<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">After a delivery that was delayed because of a typhoon and an early, unannounced Saturday UPS visit, I finally got my hands on an <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/">iPhone 7 Plus</a>. It's a 128GB model (seriously, I don’t need 256GB…yet) in silver, unlocked, and on the AT&T network. </p>
