This MacVoices Live! session starts out as we remember Charles Edge’s contributions to the Mac community. Two members of the MacVoices Live! panel have started a new Apple Vision Pro podcast; they talk about why, and what they have planned. Then, the full panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, and Eric Bolden speculate on what we may see at Apple’s upcoming event, and then discuss the inconveniences of Apple ID resets and reconfigurations. Despite frustrations, we share insights on managing password-related disruptions within the Apple ecosystem.

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, Eric Bolden, Jim Rea, and Mark Fuccio  delves into the challenges of installing third-party app stores and game emulators on iPhones. We discuss the complexities and friction involved, touching on jailbreaking and the accessibility of apps through these stores. The recent allowance of game emulators on the App Store globally is explored, considering implications such as pirated software and fair use. We debate Apple's motivations behind these changes and the impact on users, including notarization for apps. Perspectives vary on Apple's control over installations, user choice, security, and compliance with regulations.
