| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for Thursday, August 21st, 2025. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.5 | We are sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:12.6 | Leading off today, Apple has released iOS 18.6.2 for iPhone users. |

| 1:34.5 | It's just always good to keep your devices updated and to update them right away. |
