If Apple Made a Camera, It’d be the Sigma BF

It's bonus episode time! Marques, Andrew, and David took the stage at SXSW 2025 this past Saturday to live in front of an audience for the first time! They started with the news that Apple Intelligence is getting delayed (again) before talking a bit about Digg making a comeback. If you don't know what Digg is, don't worry Andrew explains it. Then they took a bunch of questions from audience members with topics ranging from podcasting to AI and health tech. It was super fun to do our first live show and thank you do much to everyone that came to check it out! We had a blast and can't wait to do another one.

This week, Marques and Andrew kicked things off by trying to explain to David the absurdity of the Luka Doncic trade in tech terms that he would understand.

They wrap it all up talking about Meta trying to make the Metaverse happen, YouTube experimenting with 4x speed, and Andrew ranting about streaming services. There was a surprising amount of news to go over despite not having any new gadgets to discuss. Enjoy!

This week, Ellis sits down with Andrew and David to discuss everything Apple Vision Pro! It has been almost exactly one year since the Apple Vision Pro was first released, so we thought it'd be a good idea to talk with actual developers about what they like and don't like about building apps for Apple's new device. Enjoy! P.S - Thanks so much to Grégoire Lemoulant and Cihat Gündüz for taking the time to speak with us!

This week, Marques is out filming a top secret video but we still have Andrew and David (and even Ellis for a little) stepping up to hold down the pod. First, they talk about everything that happened last week from the TikTok chaos to the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement before getting into the new Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. Even Marques drops in via pre-recorded video to give his thoughts. Then we finish it up by recommending a few of our favorite apps we've been enjoying. It's a chaotic one, but enjoy!
