Lots of tech news this week, as Telstra rolls out satellite support for recent iPhones and Samsung devices in rural areas. This means you can now use apps like WhatsApp, Apple Maps, and Google Maps via satellite connections. However, call quality can be patchy and depends on weather conditions.
Callers also called in with questions, including a listener asking about updating an old MacBook from 2013, and whether you can make them work, even with limited compatibility.
Lastly, we’ll dive into news about Samsung’s folding phones now coming in three styles: compact fold (flip phone), larger foldable devices, and a new style that is passport-sized and can expand into a tablet size.
Tune in to Melbourne Drive for August 4 with Charlie Pickering on ABC Melbourne to get the full story, kicking in from just after the 1 hour 32 minute mark (1.32.15 to be precise).
