Episode 153: Tech Summer

And I want to start today by talking about the iPhone 18, because you know what? I don't think we actually have said a single word about it.

that's

fair i don't know i feel like we're always talking about the the airs and the pros but we you know maybe we don't give the the base models the love that it

that it deserves not even the base model i don't even think we've really talked about the rumors for this year's upcoming iphones we've talked a lot about the previous stuff but we haven't i don't even think we've really dived into like the iphone fold is coming out i don't think we've talked about that That's true, and I

think – I guess part of it was – well, and this is part of what we'll talk about, the sort of split launch that we're expecting some things in the fall and some things next spring that's kind of got me a little bit confused.

But that's true.

I feel like we haven't focused on the iPhone too much yet.

Yeah, and I think – so the big question – You mentioned the split launch.

I think that's the weirdest part about this whole scenario.

And specifically, it seems like it's going to be iPhone Pro and iPhone Fold in September and then the iPhone 18 and Air 2 in the spring.

And that begs the question, as a fellow iPhone Air user, and look, I promise we're not going to do another rabbit hole on the iPhone Air.

We've done like three entire episodes on that.

But... as iPhone Air users, what are we going to do? What are you going to do in September?

It's a good question.

My thing is like, you know, on the last episode, we talked about how the battery life is getting kind of bad, which we're not going to talk about again.

I don't know if you saw, but remember Sam was watching that episode and then he tweeted in the middle of our episode, some iPhone users are reporting that the iPhone Air battery is dying.

going and he basically oh yeah basically you know what's it called subtweeted us or whatever i thought that was that was very funny um you could also say that we created the news that's we are some iphone users that have reported battery life issues so it's you know in a way we're media famous now Well, in more than one way.

I mean, we're news creators now.

This is, I mean, frankly, I think this is a big moment for us.

Absolutely.

Thank you for that, Sam.

But to the point, you know, I think if the iPhone Air 2 were coming out in the fall, it would be a pretty easy decision.

It seems like it's going to be a decent upgrade.

I like the Air that I have right now.

But given that it's not, my thought is basically I don't want to go with the Pro.
