| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. This is your host, Stephen Robles. And today we're |
| 0:08.0 | going to talk about iPhone and passcode security. It was a new video from Joanna Stern, |
| 0:11.6 | really want to get into it. I message is coming to Windows PCs. Believe it or not, iOS 16.4 |
| 0:17.4 | beta 2 is out with some interesting features and stuff in the code. And the Mac Pro may |
| 0:21.8 | finally be getting Apple Silicon after all. This episode is brought to you by Notion, |
| 0:26.1 | actually very excited for that new sponsor, because I've used Notion for a long time. |
| 0:29.6 | And our friends at Collide and joining me to discuss all about the clean energy charging |
| 0:34.1 | initiative is West Ilya. That's Golden West. Just a second, Stephen, I'm changing my device |

| 1:19.2 | and I, we really harped on. If you don't listen at 1x, you're not a human, but I just want |
| 1:23.1 | to clarify for everyone, I do think it depends on who you're listening to and what the content |
| 1:28.3 | is. If it's this podcast, it should be 1x and you should just save her every moment. |
| 1:32.2 | But no, I'm just kidding. Yeah, smart, smart speeds really handy. And a few apps have |
| 1:36.1 | an something like this that removes the silences. Yes. And I love that overcast tells you how |
| 1:40.4 | many hours you've saved basically by having smart speed on and it gets up to the thousands |
