iPhone 15 rumors, iOS 17 beta 4, and MacBook Air struggles on the AppleInsider podcast

We won't know until all of Apple's Back to School promotions are over, but so far there is word that the 15-inch MacBook Air isn't selling half as well as Apple expected. Or to be more accurate, it is selling half as well — one report says sales are 50% below predictions.

Then Apple could be facing lower sales for the iPhone 15 range if rumors of the cost going up are true. But fortunately there's also good news for the base models of the iPhone 15, as they are now expected to get 48mp cameras.

It's also time to see what's new in iOS 14 beta 4, and someone has some things to say about docks.
