Apple was forced to release its newest update over the weekend due to an issue with phones crashing and rebooting. Sean Aune, Editor-in-Chief of Techno Buffalo, and Michael Simon, Staff Writer for PCWorld, join Cheddar to discuss the root of Apple's problem.
Both say it had something to do with particular app technology, not the phone itself. However, this forced Apple to release the 11.2 beta 6 update prior to the scheduled launch date. Simon and Aune discuss whether or not all these updates will discourage people from buying the iPhone.
Plus, the newly released upgrade introduces Apple Pay Cash. This will allow funds to be drawn from a linked credit or debit card and sent in the form of a 'cash card.' Aune & Simon talk about the compeitition with Venmo and Square.
