Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 20.402 Kim Komando

This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world.

If you have a more recent Apple iPhone that uses iOS 26, you have a brand new feature available. Get this, an executive assistant, one that's screening your calls and taking a lot of people off. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. AI is everywhere, and companies using it have the advantage. If your revenues exceed seven figures, get the free guide, Demystifying AI, at netsuite.com slash kim.

Okay, this new executive assistant screens your calls. Unknown callers are asked to identify themselves and say why they're calling before your iPhone rings. You can then decide right on the spot to take the call or pass it on as voicemail. Friends may seem a little put off. Spam usually goes away. You can fix this by adding friends to your contacts or disable the feature altogether.

But if you're like me, you no longer answer calls from unrecognized numbers. Still, once in a long while, the call may be important.

Chapter 2: What new feature does the latest iPhone offer for call screening?

70.954 - 81.591 Kim Komando

and now as promised a clip from my weekend show the kim commando show it's pretty much the best radio show in the world but i may be just a little biased sit back and enjoy all right let's talk about your apple watch here are some tricks number one you can turn your watch into a remote camera so if you're taking a group photo you can set up your iphone up across the room open the camera app on your watch and then you can see a preview and snap the photo right from your wrist no longer running back and forth back and forth back and forth

Your watch also monitors decibel levels around you. So the noise hit levels too high can cause damage. It'll tap your wrist to warn you. I actually had this happening in the car. You know how you turn on the music in the car?

I wear my earbuds and my phone constantly says turn them down because it's way too loud.

131.745 - 154.407 Kim Komando

Turn it down. Finally, there's a secret way to find your lost phone. I mean, everybody knows you can ping your iPhone from your watch to make it beep, but here's a trick that nobody else knows about except for you. You can press and hold that button and then it will flash the iPhone's camera light so you can spot it in the dark, under the couch, wherever it's hiding.

154.387 - 174.888 Kim Komando

I'm just sitting here, I'm thinking about this. We have an iPhone, we have an iPad. Imagine if they called it the iWatch. All the time. iWatch all the time, Kim Commando. That would be bad PR. A little creepy. So let's talk about the personalities of Jeff Bezos. And we've already talked about that.

Chapter 3: How does the call screening feature affect unknown callers?

174.908 - 199.566 Kim Komando

He loves to eat protein. So he eats octopus for breakfast. Ew. Okay. Here's a little fun fact for you. The average American earns about $63,800 a year. Higher than I would expect, okay. So let me just throw it out there. How long do you think it takes Jeff Bezos to make that $63,800 a year?

200.007 - 209.781 Unknown

Obviously, it's going to be a low number, but is it ridiculously low, like a tenth of a second? Every 28 seconds. 28?

Yes. He needs to step up his game. I thought he was richer. No, I'm sorry.

Chapter 5: Why do some users prefer not to answer unknown calls?

224.941 - 252.102 Unknown

Elon Musk was also in People Magazine. He was explaining the logic between his twin names. Strider Sekhar and Azur Astra. Sure. Okay.
