Editor’s Desk: 27-inch iMac refresh, macOS Big Sur public beta & more

Apple this week updated the 27-inch iMac with better internals and no new design. Its rivals weren’t standing still either. Google took aim at the iPhone SE with a new, affordable Pixel 4a, while Samsung unleashed the new Galaxy S20 and other devices at is Unpacked event. As for the folks who like to live on the bleeding edge of technology, Apple kept them busy with the new iOS 14 and other developer betas, plus the first public beta of macOS Big Sur.

Welcome to a new installment of iDownloadBlog’s Editor’s Desk weekly column in which we round up everything that was published on iDownloadBlog.com from August 3 through 9.

Let’s Talk iOS: Don’t f**k with apps

In episode #355 of iDownloadBlog’s “Let’s Talk iOS” podcast, Cody and Sebastien discuss Apple’s massive June quarter earnings and Tim Cook’s antitrust hearing (of course, Sebastien has strong opinions about it all). It sounds boring, but they’re making it fun!
