Redesigned MacBook Pros & New iPad Pros Incoming!
Apple just launched the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and Apple Watch Series 5 - but the company isn’t done with 2019 releases! We talk about the upcoming Pro device event which should be taking place in October where we will see the debut of a newly-redesigned MacBook Pro, faster iPad Pros with a triple-camera system, and complete details on the Mac Pro. We discuss phone carriers, which ones we both use, and who we are thinking of switching to. Finally, we also give our thoughts on the best features of iOS 13, and who should upgrade to the iPhone 11 vs who should get the iPhone 11 Pro.

Hands-on with iPhone 11 & iPhone 11 Pro, but What Does Pro Mean?
In this episode, we go over all the big announcements from Apple’s iPhone 11 launch event. Andru was in Cupertino for the event and gives his hands-on impressions of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, and we discuss the meaning of the “Pro” naming scheme for the iPhone and tech products in general.
There’s also a new Apple Watch Series 5 (finally sporting an always-on display!) and a couple of new finishes, and Apple has seemingly set up Apple TV+ to become the number one streaming video service in the world in the next 12 months - we show you the math!

In this episode we take a look at the entire history of Apple’s “One More Thing” announcements, starting from the first one in 1999 all the way to the latest in 2017. Which ones were worthy of being a “One More Thing,” and which were a bust? We give you our opinion!
We also give our predictions for what the “One More Thing” might be at next week’s Apple Event. The Samsung Galaxy Fold is back, and we talk about how Samsung addressed all the issues. Finally, we talk about the new Porsche Taycan, Andru's Tesla Model 3, and Jon’s next car!
