Special Report: Apple’s New (Old) Gizmos

Special Report: Apple’s New (Old) Gizmos

We have a special bonus If Then! On Wednesday afternoon Apple held its big annual event full of new and expensive gadgets. We wanted to help you make sense of what happened, and what it means. Host Will Oremus is joined by journalist and Slate contributor Christina Bonnington, who covers emerging technology and consumer technology. They talk through new phones, new watches, and all the things Apple is taking away from their original products.

Stories discussed on the show:

Slate: Why Apple’s Not Giving Us Another Small iPhone Anytime Soon

Slate: Everything We Know About The Three New iPhones

Slate: Apple’s Devices Are Pulling Us Into Our Own Personal Clouds

Podcast production by Max Jacobs
