  • Why WeWork?

    Normally love this show, but why Podcast from a WeWork

    from the latest episode as opposed to your hotel room? The echo was unlistenable.

  • They’ve Ruined the Show with DAI and No Chapters

    This show has gone down the drain. They start the show with an ad. They talk for three minutes, and then there’s another ad. Oh, and by the way, their production is so terrible, the ads interrupt the hosts while they’re in the middle of sentences. And now they’ve removed chapters or at least timeline marks within the show notes. This podcast is terrible. I used to be able to tolerate Hartley’s whininess, but I just can’t now given how bad the ads, ad insertion, and removal of features are.

  • All the ads

    For a running time of 40 to 45 minutes, these guys shove a ton of ads into the show. Two minutes at the start, two minutes at the end, and a bunch randomly inserted with no thought to placement or if it’s breaking up the flow. Love the site, but the show is basically unlistenable.

  • 40% ads *update*

    Just to get the 1 star fresh. There are so many offensively annoying that play immediately when the episode starts, no intro, no what’s on this episode just ads that are so low quality that local radio stations charge less than $200 for spots every 15 minutes. Not only that these play every few minutes and just interrupts mid word. This is the most amateur apple related podcast, scratch that one of the most amateur overall podcast. This is a crowded space and this show adds nothing but regurgita... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

192: Your Tech Questions Answered
Q: Will there be a new Vision Pro variant in a year or two?
I genuinely don't think there will be another Vision Pro variant in the next year or two; updates will likely be iterative with small quality-of-life improvements rather than a completely new generation.
192: Your Tech Questions Answered
Q: do you guys think theoretically iPhone Air 2 could be the first Apple product to use a silicon carbon battery? If the technology is in the company's roadmap for the near future or do you think Apple will forgo any real battery improvements for the sake of adding a second camera lens and or speaker?
I think that it will be too soon with the iPhone Air 2 to see that kind of battery innovation. It's certainly that kind of device would be a good contender because I imagine that when we do see new battery technology, it's not going to come to all of the new iPhones at once, probably just one.
169: Apple's iPhone Air Is in Trouble
Q: How do you feel about the iPhone Air potentially being on the chopping block?
The hosts feel sad about the potential discontinuation of the iPhone Air and discuss its overall positive attributes despite its struggles in sales.
164: iOS 26 Is Finally Here!
Q: What has been your favorite thing about iOS 26 besides the design?
Hartley highlights the redesign itself as the biggest feature, mentioning that the apps feel quite different to use and that this change has refreshed the experience of using the device.
164: iOS 26 Is Finally Here!
Q: What are your thoughts now that we're in the official release?
Hartley expresses that he really likes the new design and that it has grown on him as he uses it more, despite initial uncertainty from others in the tech community.
