514: European Beard

Jason and Myke share their first thoughts about the iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Series 10, live and in person!

All of Apple's new operating systems are here, and we discuss our favorite new features--and acknowledge the elephant waiting in the wings. We also spend a little time celebrating the tenth birthday of both Upgrade and Six Colors.

From the iPhone 16 to the Apple Watch Series 10 to the AirPods 4 to the _other_ AirPods 4, and with the release of Apple Intelligence hanging over it all, we break down the announcements from the September Apple Event.

Jason and Myke preview what will happen at next week's Apple event. What new features will the new iPhones have? How will the Apple Watch transform? How will Apple Intelligence be featured? To the winner goes the glory.

We bring the Summer of Fun to a close with our opinionated rating of 60 different Apple app icons.

Fortnite and Epic return to the (not your) iPhone, Apple opens up NFC and enacts new restrictions on Patreon, Spotify posts a link, and we discuss what is and is not a 'Tabletop Robot.'

This episode has a lot of layers, as we discuss the Olympics, the Google antitrust ruling, Apple's new EU fee plan, a tiny new Mac mini, macOS dialog disasters, and the tech world of a decade ago.

Myke has a mostly positive Apple Intelligence experience (except for Siri), Apple results make us consider the power of Services, and the Color Czar may be up to their old tricks.

After recapping their excitement about the Relay 10 event in London, Jason and Myke discuss the arrival of Apple Intelligence in a surprising beta release and imagine some interesting new directions for the iPhone product line.

Jason and Myke interview the writers of "What If...? An Interactive Story" for Vision Pro about the challenges of writing something that's not quite a movie and not quite a video game for a brand-new platform. Also: hot dogs!
