Apple Watch Series 6 review, October 'iPhone 12' event, and iOS 14 tips on the AppleInsider podcast

We debate the new Apple Watch Series 6, discuss the Solo Loop bands debacle, cover October's rumored 'iPhone 12' event, and run down many tips and tricks for iOS 14.

Stephen's titanium Apple Watch Series 6 came early and we get to review the hardware performance, battery life, blood oxygen sensor and more. We also discuss the new Apple Watch bands and tips for sizing your wrist with Apple's tool and the difference between the Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop.

Leaker Jon Prosser now claims there will be an October 13 event to announce the upcoming "iPhone 12." This would be Apple's second event this Fall and could possibly include the AirPods Studio or the first Apple Silicon Mac.

After William gushes over his new 49-inch curved monitor, we go deep into many many tips and tricks buried in iOS 14 and highlight some new widgets from third-party apps.
