Apple this week unveiled some new security changes for its iPhone devices. Specifically, if someone steals your iPhone, and has your password, they will no longer be able to change security settings without using Face ID. The Apple TV got a little redesign this week, as well, adding a new sidebar menu that should make it easier to navigate shows and channels in the app. Dave and I also talk about rumors of a new M3 MacBook Air and when we might see thos machines.
