674: Champing at the Bit for iOS 27 and Ghostly Hackers
/The hosts discuss Jerry installing iOS 27 beta on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and watch, reporting strong stability, snappy performance, and minor reported edge-case crashes, while noting Siri AI requires newer hardware due to RAM constraints and that others find the new Siri improved. Joe shares a fresh issue deploying an MDM configuration profile to disable Siri: users still received “unable to use Siri” prompts because “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” could remain enabled, requiring removing the profile, turning it off locally, and reapplying; Apple Intelligence also wasn’t fully disabled. Sam describes improving client offboarding by building a monday.com form that feeds Zendesk tickets, and the group compares running lean teams, using subcontractors and Foundation as pay-as-you-go helpdesk support (including an optional branded phone line). They also cover business uncertainty, tax-law changes affecting S-corps, and handling time-consuming “I’ve been hacked” client calls.
