I will do this from information provided from Apple and with the perspective of having nearly 40 years of service, both civilian and as an active duty service member. This is how Apple has made a difference to me since their very early beginnings. This episode is dedicated to honoring and helping fellow Veterans and their family members who use or have access to Apple products.

In this episode, we will bypass the speculation nonsense, other than making sure you know about the Tuesday, September 14 Apple Keynote. It’s at 10 am PDT streaming live, and will be available later. We are expecting to see several new models of the iPhone, an AppleWatch and other hardware and software announcements. There are plenty of stories already out there, but I’d rather spend the time on a topic more meaningful. We will save that coverage for a Tuesday evening special Mac Minutes Podcast when we know the facts. I’d encourage you to tune into the keynote and come back for our analysis. This week I want to talk about a major step forward for biking safety, especially for those of us who venture out alone.
