Thanks to Paul Lawler and Ryan Ozawa for co-hosting the past two podcasts (the last two of 2021)! In this first MobileViews Podcast of 2022, Jon and I discuss:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Jon was continues to be very impressed by the iPhone 13 Pro&#8217;s low light photo capabilities (see example photo)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/12\/31\/22861141\/blackberry-legacy-devices-dead-lose-functionality-january-4th\">BlackBerry will die on January 4th \u00e2\u20ac\u201d for real this time<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Apple wants to remind us how easy it is to use their products to save your life. Not your typical Apple Ad. Makes you wonder: Does this make LTE AW just make sense?<\/li>\n<li>Jon made it for 10 days with just his iPhone and iPad Mini &#8211; no laptop \/ no iPad Pro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>Apple Dual charger is great, just expensive, for travel.<\/li>\n<li>Oura ring records more sleep tracking data than AW, so ditch the AW on nights I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need an alarm. But when you need an alarm, AW is so much nicer than the iPhone blaring at you (A friend disagrees).<\/li>\n<li>VNC &#038; VPS\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are a nice thing to have in the back pocket when you are visiting people and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to drag out a laptop \/ bigger iPad. Manage most of the world through your iPhone. &#8211; Screens 4 for iOS<\/li>\n<li>Apple MagSafe charging pack came in handy a few times for top-offs, but way too small of a capacity.<br \/>\nAlmost convinced that I have the perfect travel bag &#8211; the eBags <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebags.com\/backpacks\/travel-backpacks\/pro-slim-weekender\/117783XXXX.html\">Pro Slim Weekender<\/a><\/li>\n<li>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a Swiss Army knife kinda person, definitely get their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Victorinox-43323-VN43323-Hunting-Camping\/dp\/B000AR7AKG\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QD4ULAVDF13M&#038;keywords=swiss+army+sharpener&#038;qid=1641150609&#038;sprefix=swiss+army+sharpener%2Caps%2C125&#038;sr=8-1>sharpener&#8221;><\/a>. Or something similar while traveling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<li>Jon bought the latest Twelve South BookBook for iPhone &#8211; combining it with Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own Magsafe wallet is actually a great idea &#8211; since the BookBook phone case is MagSafe compatible now, if you need the wallet space you can have it. If you just need 2-3 cards, you can get away with Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wallet case on the back of your BookBook. Suppose you could actually add the Apple Wallet on the back of the BookBook to get 2-3 more card slots.<\/li>\n<li>Jon bought the upgrade to a product he used years ago: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tapforms.com\/\">TapForms<\/a>. Reminder that this is about the closest you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll come to MS Access on Mac\/iPhone.
