We're days away from the launch of the iPhone 16 range, but the question is whether Apple will make it to September 9 considering that it is -- yet again -- doomed. Before the company implodes, though, its AirTags have helped track down a missing child.

William Gallagher and Wesley Hilliard go in deep with Emergency SOS via satellite, then deeper with MLS football - which apparently we must all call "soccer" - and then really in depth with Apple TV+. It's become such a good service, and yet it's clearly not what Steve Jobs planned when he said he'd solved the problem of television.

It's hard to get away from the chaos happening with Twitter, but this week's AppleInsider podcast might be the distraction you need. That's because all of the great news this week seems to revolve around enjoying yourself on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

So co-host Wesley Hilliard has been going in deep with Apple Arcade games on the newly-updated Apple TV 4K. And co-host William Gallagher has been trying out the brand-new and yet oddly-familiar Freeform from the iPadOS developer beta.

Plus you can't talk about games this week without discussing what's going on with Nintendo's plans for games on the iPhone. That said, you can't mention the iPhone this week without briefly marvelling at the world's first-ever foldable iPhone -- even if it wasn't made by Apple.

Tim Cook says the Apple product lineup is set for the holidays, your hosts go in-depth on Stage Manager for iPad and Mac, initial reviews of the new Apple TV 4K are out, we highlight Halide’s iPhone 14 Pro camera review, and Elon Musk acquires Twitter on the AppleInsider podcast.
