502: Overcome by the Thinness

Apple unveiled a new iPad mini this week... But how new is it really? Also, is Myke living in an Apple commercial, and did Ticci go too far?

Federico and Myke are joined by Jason Snell to discuss Apple hardware in unexpected places, their dream peripherals, and how they are (or not) using their Vision Pros.

The guys discuss a new app called Croissant, iOS 18 bugs, showering with the Apple Watch, and Meta's recent unveiling of Orion. Then Stephen says goodbye for a little while.

The original Connected crew is reunited just in time to share their initial impressions of the Apple Watch Series 10 and iPhone 16 Pro. They also discuss Apple's definition of a photo and how they should introduce one another.

This week, a new Connected lineup thanks the previous hosts for their service, then moves on to discuss their latest tech purchases and iOS 18. Somehow, they also fix gaming at Apple.

The guys score their picks regarding Apple's "It's Glowtime" event.

It's Glowtime! Apple's annual iPhone keynote is September 9, so Federico, Myke, and Stephen peered into a crystal ball and have returned with a range of predictions for the event.

Federico tried an iPhone screen protector, Stephen remembered some dates, and Myke interrupted the first St. Jude read of the year. Lastly, Apple has an upcoming event, so the guys take some time to reevaluate the Bill of Rickies.

It's a busy week on the show. The guys cover some iPhone rumors, changes at Apple Podcasts, the announcement of Monument Valley 3, and iOS 18's final days in beta, all before discussing the idea of the "Apple cult" starting to fade.

This week, Google unveiled the Pixel 9 line, Apple turned its eye toward Patreon, and many anniversaries arrived.
