iPhones and AirPods and Watches, Oh My!
There are a ton of gadgets to talk about this week! First, there is new pair of Spectacles made just for AR developers and it somehow turns into a whole conversation about Snapchat as a company.

Marques, Andrew, and David give their thoughts on the new iPhone 16, AirPods 4th gen, and the new Apple Watch Series 10. Then we play a small game where we quickly discuss a handful of news topics that range from the new YouTube Hype feature to Flappy Bird, and we try to decide whether they matter or not. It's a (long) fun one! Enjoy!
