This week, Marques, Andrew, and David were hoping for a nice, easy week of news. But they were wrong! A lot is happening, including Apple not being allowed to sell certain Apple Watches anymore, Google paying $700 million after being sued by all 50 states, Threads joining the Fediverse, and a ton of EV news as well! Plus, they talk about the 2023 smartphone awards video that just dropped over on the main MKBHD YouTube channel!
