Now, Tech Talk with Alan Perry on the IHeart Radio Talk Network.

Welcome to the BC Long Weekend edition of Tech Talk for August 2nd and 3rd of 2025.

Filling in for Alan Perry, I'm Kyle Wilson, a Calwood-Base IT specialist and a tech contributor for Business Insider.

Alan is off still in Europe visiting homestay students, and I'm joined today by...

Charles Martin, the program director for VMug, the Victoria Mac and iOS user group.

I am also a London drug's in-home tech specialist, and I'm the weekend editor for Apple Insider.com. Wait a minute. I'm away from my job to do this. So there you go. And today we're produced by... Oh, yeah, and I'm Josh Holden. You're a C-Fax 1070 Tech Talk producer for today. Great to be here with you guys. Thank you very much. We're live on Saturday morning, August 16th. At least that's what it says there, but it's

actually the second. Yes, it is. Yes. And we're also on Colonna's AM 1150 in the Okinawagon Valley.

We're across Canada on the IHeart Radio Network and worldwide on streaming apps like Radio Garden.

If you're listening to us on Sunday afternoon, on the 3rd of August on C-Fax 1070, you're hearing a rebroadcast from yesterday, which is actually today.

If you can't catch all of the show on the air, I'll upload a podcast once the program is over, a little after 12 o'clock today.

And if it's Saturday morning, though, we do invite you to call and text. Please, please call

and text. We're at plus 1.2503861161. If you text us, please include your first name, either at the

beginning or the end of your text. It really does help us out. And if you'd like to email us, our email address is Tech Talk, two words, a no space,

And also, if you want to check out the show notes, it's at Tech-Hifentoc.ca.

And that's sort of the general thing that'sike Talk is the nursery. Indeed. That's the program that comes on after this one. Yeah. Tite Talks. We've got a lot to cover today. There's been a lot of news out there, especially on the Apple front, hasn't there, Charles? My goodness, yes. It's completely ridiculous. But one of the big things that we want to call your attention to right away is that Apple has updated their operating system, iOS 18.6, and

Mac OS, and, you know, iPad OSOS and all their other little OS's to 18.6.

They're now, this is going to be, they're now going to, they've changed their mind and they're now just going to call it everything 26.

So they've changed from these numbers that we can never keep track of to what year is it?

So from now on, the next Mac operating system would be MacOS 26, iOS 26, iPads 26, iPadOS 26, and so on.

But it's coming out in 2025.

You'll never guess, yeah, late 2025, but you'll never guess what happens next year.
