In the most recent episode of In Touch With iOS hosted by Dave, he's joined by guests Mike Potter, Chuck Joiner, and Jeff Gamet.

To combat this, they explore the use of password managers, particularly their favorite one, 1Password. They also delve into the topic of Apple's Health VP, who discusses the future of Apple Watch and glucose monitoring.
