Dangerous Phone Wallpapers, the Oft-Delayed Pixel 4a, & an iPad-Designed iMac?

With David on vacation this week, Marques and Andrew are confined to the producers table and Ellis and Adam run the show. We talk about a ton of small news from this week and last week. What starts as a discussion about Apple Vision Pro accessories and a new Garmin watch quickly turns into messaging app update madness, a rant about Reddit, and Apple introducing new features and dropping a brand new app. Plus, Marques and Andrew try to get some trivia revenge. It's a fun one, hope you enjoy!

This week, Marques, Andrew, and David discuss everything from the rebranding of Google Bard to the Cybertruck.

It's Apple Vision Pro week! Marques sits down with Andrew and David to answer all their questions and even a few that we scraped from the YouTube comments of the videos we put out this week. If you want to know whether or not you can use the Apple Vision Pro with a Windows computer or if you can hot swap the battery, this is the episode for you. Afterwards, we talk about how the new App store rules in the EU before wrapping it all up with trivia.

This week, we have another bonus episode! Adam sat down with David Eriksson of Teenage Engineering to chat about the EP-133 K.O. II sampler. It was a great chat and we figured it would be a good opportunity to peel back the curtain on how some of these conversations go with people from certain companies. Hope you enjoy!

This week, we bring back Headlines in a Hat! So much happened that we figured it was easier to just pick them all out of a hat one at a time. Topics range from a new calendar app Marques is trying to the OnePlus 12 and the new mint green Pixel phone! Of course, we wrap it all up with some trivia at the end so stick around for the answers.
