Episode 1003: iPhone 18 Pro review

So before iPhone, before iPhone 18, let's take a moment because yesterday, October 5th, was the 15-year anniversary of Steve Jobs' death.

which just seems crazy to me.

Like it's somehow both too long and too short because like so much has happened since he passed away.

I mean, obviously Tim Cook's entire tenure came and went now and we got AirPods and we got Apple watch.

I mean, there are things that didn't exist while he was alive.

But it also seems like he was doing keynotes like last year because he's such a memorable figure in the Apple universe.

To me, I don't feel that way.

I feel like it's been so divorced from him for so long.

And it's partly because he died.

He didn't just... quit or get ousted or any of that other stuff.

And he, and there's no new Steve jobs quotes.

Like there's no new, he's not doing interviews.

There's none of that.

So he kind of only lives on in everybody's, what would Steve do mentality about Apple, which as time goes on becomes less and less useful because we don't know what Steve would have

done,

you know, or, or, or, That's also not necessarily the yardstick to use.

He made bad decisions too at times.

To me, it feels like Apple's been Steve Jobs-less for so long now.

It almost feels like That's just this whole other era.

It's almost like thinking about car companies like in the 80s or something like

it just.

Yeah, I hear what you're

saying.

It's just that his shadow looms so large over everything Apple does, like even with the duo.

like the first thing people said was, Oh, Steve jobs wouldn't allow the stylist to be supported on, on a, on an iPhone.
