Podcasts about foldable

Apple finally gave the tech world its foldable iPhone, and the biggest question on AwesomeCast 796 isn't whether it looks impressive. It's whether anyone needs a $1,999 phone. Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar spend this week's episode looking at where Apple is going next, while also catching up on Nintendo, MapQuest, Pittsburgh technology and some unusually revealing internet analytics. Siri Gets Smarter — Eventually Dave upgraded to iOS 27 and came away impressed with its speed and stability, but the headline Siri AI features come with a catch: there's a waitlist. Apple's rollout includes a more capable Siri experience, improved Visual Intelligence and upgrades to Image Playground. Sorg, who had access earlier through the beta process, says Siri already appears better at understanding spoken requests and answering questions without immediately handing everything off elsewhere. More on the Siri AI rollout: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/09/15/ios-27-siri-ai-has-waitlist-how-to-join/ Apple's $1,999 Foldable Experiment Then there's the iPhone Duo. The foldable became one of the episode's biggest discussions after an unlikely piece of analytics showed just how much attention Apple's announcement received: Pornhub reported a significant traffic drop when Apple revealed the device. https://mashable.com/life/pornhub-apple-event-viewers-dropped-iphone-duo Beyond the jokes, there are intriguing ideas here. Apple is using matching aspect ratios between the outside and inside displays, potentially making life easier for developers. The larger format opens up interesting multitasking possibilities, and the crew sees potential for business users, presenters and some creators. The problem is impossible to ignore: $1,999 is a lot of money for a phone. Katie compares the experience to having a dual-monitor setup in your pocket but struggles to get past the cost. Sorg sees the Duo more as Apple's latest first-generation experiment — something that may eventually trickle down into less expensive devices after early adopters figure out what the form factor is actually good for. Apple Watch Solves the “What Did They Just Say?” Problem A smaller Apple announcement may prove more immediately useful. The crew discusses an Apple Watch listening feature that can help recover something you recently heard. The example involved replaying information like restaurant specials, but Sorg immediately saw a production use for it: remembering instructions received in a noisy event environment. Sometimes the best technology feature isn't spectacular. It simply fixes a small problem that happens constantly. Nintendo Looks Back — and Forward Chachi's Video Game Minute brings an update on the White House Tetris-style game, which has now been removed. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2026/09/08/white-house-removes-controversial-tetris-style-game-from-arcade-website/ Nintendo also showed gameplay for the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, scheduled for November 5. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-shares-the-first-gameplay-and-release-date-for-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake/ Sorg continues the Nintendo discussion with Mario Kart World's newly accessible recreations of classic Super Nintendo tracks and a new Metroid announcement. Mario Kart update: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1711610297636885&set=gm.2640543926409864&idorvanity=234524630345151 Nintendo Direct roundup: https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-direct-september-2026-live-report-all-the-announcements-as-they-happen?utm_source=campaigner&utm_campaign=NL_FIX_Sep_09_2026&cmp=1&utm_medium=email&Ictg=46311792229 The larger question is whether Nintendo is leaning too heavily on remakes — even as genuinely new games continue arriving beside them. MapQuest Wins With Whimsy MapQuest's unexpected comeback continues, powered partly by something its bigger competitors often lack: personality. Katie introduces two more Questies — Corgi and Black Cat — along with Rufus, the dog who inspired the Corgi design, and the upcoming Jimothy character. Future MapQuest updates are also expected to include CarPlay, Android Auto and transit improvements. Corgi and Black Cat: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdNtRdGFMqk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Rufus: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdP_UXVG4bp/?img_index=2 Jimothy: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdUwv6mp_yC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== It's a reminder that a challenger brand doesn't always have to beat Google on pure scale. Sometimes giving people a reason to care about the product is enough to get another look. From CAPTCHA to Duolingo For Hispanic Heritage Month, Dave's Awesome History segment highlights Luis von Ahn. Von Ahn came from Guatemala to Carnegie Mellon, became one of the researchers behind CAPTCHA and later co-founded Duolingo. The discussion expands into the importance of university research and how work that begins without an obvious commercial product can eventually become foundational technology. https://www.invent.org/inductees/luis-von-ahn Wrestling in a Military Hangar Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week comes from a very different kind of technology production. The Sidekick Media crew helped capture Prospect Pro Wrestling's “Banger in the Hangar” at the 911th Air Wing. Wrestlers entered through a huge cargo aircraft, Stormtroopers showed up, the Pirate Parrot got involved, and the production took place inside an enormous working hangar. Watch the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kqJY33amJ0 It is another episode that jumps from smartphones and video games to Pittsburgh production stories — exactly the kind of wonderfully strange technology mix AwesomeCast was built for.

What happens when Apple makes a $2,000 foldable phone that apparently hates left-handed people?You get 43 minutes of The Rizzuto Show doing what it does best: taking one mildly ridiculous topic and driving it directly into left-handed presidents, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, creepy horror movies, celebrity gossip and an AI-generated Eminem song that fools 100,000 people.Just another productive morning.Episode 32 begins with the show discussing reports and early reviews of Apple's foldable “iPhone Duo,” including complaints that its design is much friendlier to right-handed users. The hinge, rounded edges and relocated controls supposedly create an awkward experience if you insist on holding the phone with your left hand.Moon's response?The world is built for right-handed people. Get over it.And with that, our comedy show launches into an investigation of whether left-handed people might actually have the better deal everywhere else.Rizz runs through supposed advantages for lefties in baseball, tennis, boxing, fencing, complex math, art, music and even language recovery after certain brain injuries. The crew gets into famous lefties like Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Bill Gates and Oprah, along with the surprisingly large number of left-handed presidents.This also gives Lern an opportunity to provide several historical theories that absolutely nobody should put on an exam.Her future college course already has a name: “Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.Then the episode turns into movie-review central when Lern reports back from Practical Magic 2.She and her mom went to the theater dressed as witches, expecting to find an entire coven waiting for them.There was no coven.They were the witches.Fortunately, midnight margaritas were involved, so dignity was never really part of the evening.Lern gives the movie an 8 out of 10 and talks about its humor, heart, nostalgia and emotional moments. She admits she may either be entering a sentimental phase of life or becoming clinically depressed, which seems like a perfectly reasonable way to review a movie.Then we discover Rafe also saw Practical Magic 2.Alone.Rafe explains that he wanted to support Sandra Bullock and help the movie succeed despite the rough critical reviews. He liked the movie, enjoyed the mother-daughter energy in the theater and gave it roughly a B.Of course, the crew is much more interested in the visual of one lone man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters watching Practical Magic 2.Especially once imaginary witch hats and the phrase “Bangers Only” enter the conversation.Moon has the male-nostalgia counterpart ready: Mortal Kombat 2.For him, it scratches the exact same itch. It doesn't need to reinvent cinema. It just needs to make him feel like the kid who went to see Mortal Kombat repeatedly in the '90s. Karl Urban shows up as Johnny Cage, the cheese level rises appropriately, and Moon happily returns to being a Mortal Kombat nerd.Then everybody puts on their extremely unofficial film-critic hats for Obsession and Backrooms.The crew discusses Obsession and its wonderfully simple premise: a guy uses a magical “One Wish Willow” to wish that a woman would love him more than anything else in the world.Great idea.Surely nothing horrifying could happen there.Moon likes how the movie plays with recognizable feelings of love and infatuation before pushing them into increasingly disturbing territory, while Rafe appreciates the simplicity of the magical object that kicks everything off.Then Moon describes Backrooms as this generation's The Blair Witch Project — built around internet lore, liminal spaces, camcorder-style filmmaking, anticipation and the jump-scare language younger audiences grew up with through games like Five Nights at Freddy's.Rizz also squeezes in the Mr. T documentary because apparently we're running a multiplex now.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and this comedy show somehow gets even busier.The transcript gets into Lady Gaga reportedly appearing with a newborn alongside fiancé Michael Polansky, possible new music from My Chemical Romance, Oasis teasing an announcement, and the show's ongoing investment in whether Ella Langley can knock Mariah Carey off a chart record.Naturally, the crew's proposed strategy is simply to play “Choosin' Texas” continuously until Mariah's Christmas empire collapses.We also get entertainment talk involving The Odyssey, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren embracing AI for quick medical questions, and the wonderfully specific revelation that Mirren once lamented Kurt Cobain never getting to experience GPS.Forget the music he never made.The man never got turn-by-turn directions.That's apparently the tragedy.Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating rumors send Rafe into emotional distress because he has had enough of MGK getting involved with attractive women. A resurfaced Dustin Hoffman interview sparks a much more serious discussion about consent and past allegations surrounding the actor. Courteney Cox talks about potentially directing a future Scream, and the crew immediately starts constructing an increasingly ridiculous meta-Scream movie that eventually involves Jennifer Aniston.There's also news of another Family Stone movie, giving Lern yet another sequel to something she loves and another opportunity for the entertainment industry to weaponize nostalgia against her.Finally, AI comes for Eminem.An AI-generated track presented like a new Eminem song reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens to part of it and is less than convinced.Where's the variation?Where's the real Eminem energy?Most importantly: where's the reference to his mom?If artificial intelligence wants to replace Slim Shady, apparently it needs to study harder.By the time celebrity birthdays arrive, Episode 32 has traveled from a foldable phone to left-handed supremacy, presidential handedness, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, horror movies, Mortal Kombat, Mr. T, celebrity relationships, AI medicine and fake Eminem.Which is exactly how a comedy show should operate: start with a phone and end somewhere nobody could possibly have predicted.Come for the foldable iPhone controversy.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#221 "Author, Podcaster, Game Designer" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-12-26   Quick Summary  Tim walks in barely held together and introduces himself as author, podcaster, and game designer — because he just dropped a playable HTML prototype of his Color Clash-inspired dual-grid RTS into the Fork Discord. The ring actually lands on Life first: Nate's kids demand VR mid-show, California is an air fryer, lane-splitters want six inches of courtesy, and both households are eating unexpected bills. Then the game firehose opens — Sony tells a courtroom that reasonable consumers know they don't own digital games, Xbox Cloud gets a 15-hour Ultimate cap, Nintendo dumps a Zelda 40th and a second Direct in two days, Ocarina of Time remake looks like a stop-motion maquette, Metroid Ravenous is metal as hell, and Kojima's canceled Sony IP is now an Xbox game. Entertainment is Coyote vs. Acme beating Warner Bros. at its own gag, Chad Powers season two sneaking back from the dead, Spider-Noir winning Emmys then getting canceled, and Nick Offerman as Big the Cat. Tech is Mac Studio M5 Max sticker shock, Apple's September event, the iPhone Duo foldable, and John Ternus's first week as CEO. Classic four-and-a-half-hour Fork: family chaos, Sony fumbles, Nintendo cooking, and Tim finally putting a game on the table.   Detailed Show Notes

Group Chat News is back with a midweek episode because there was too much news to wait. Apple finally dropped the foldable. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, preorders open October 16 and it ships October 23. The guys get into whether a folding phone is actually worth two grand or whether it's pure novelty, why the phone might be the most valuable object you own even at that price, and what happens now that Tim Cook is out and John Ternus is running the company. The read on the new guy is that he's a gunslinger who takes big swings, and that the stock gets a lot more volatile from here. Then Meta. Everybody counted Zuck out on AI and this week he dropped Muse, a consumer agent that connects to WhatsApp, your email, your calendar and your payments and actually does things instead of just talking to you. The stock jumped 7% on a $1.5 trillion company. The conversation goes into why Meta might be the only company that can connect all your worlds without a privacy fight, why consumer AI still feels boring compared to what businesses are doing with it, and the theory that most of this technology was built months ago and is being released slowly on purpose. That leads into the resignation post that got 104 million views. A former AI lab employee walked out and torched the whole industry on the way, and the guys spend a while on why anyone would do that two weeks before an IPO. The theories get out of hand fast and it's the funniest stretch of the episode. Plus the argument that we have no idea what's already been built, and why prosperity might solve more problems than regulation ever will. On the money side, gambling. Polymarket lets you sell your position mid game and the guys explain why that changes everything. LeBron signed a reported eight figure deal to be the face of it and is getting roasted. Bank of America data shows the average online bettor has 41% less in their bank account than someone who doesn't bet. The pitch here is simple: forget AI regulation, cap gambling at 10% of your income. Plus LIV Golf files for bankruptcy, Saudi money is drying up, and everything available is flowing into AI. Then Ryan Tierney from Lo Siento joins to talk about what's actually happening in bars across the country. Whether Gen Z really stopped drinking, why a drink costs $30 in LA and $3.50 in Chicago, why wine is getting crushed while ready to drink cans are exploding, and how you build a tequila brand into 40 states in 60 days. And football is back. Group Chat News, every week. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple or Spotify. It helps more than you know.

In a major product event, Apple's new leader, John Ternus, introduced the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable smartphone which features a tablet-sized internal display and Apple Pencil support. Retailing at a premium price of $1,999, the device is part of a broader refresh that includes the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12, and updated AirPods with enhanced noise cancellation. Industry experts and tech enthusiasts are debating whether this expensive new form factor can expand the currently small foldable market or if it will remain a luxury niche. Key technical highlights from the launch include the powerful A20 Pro chip, advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, and sophisticated new health-tracking sensors. While some praise the hardware's multitasking potential and design, others express concern over the high cost and how the cameras compare to non-folding flagship models. Combined, these announcements signal Apple's strategic shift toward a more interconnected and intelligent ecosystem centered on personal hardware.

Apple atraviesa uno de sus momentos más contradictorios: mientras sigue ganando terreno en un mercado de smartphones en caída, toma decisiones internas que podrían cambiar para siempre el futuro de Siri, Vision Pro y sus próximos dispositivos.En este APPLEaks analizamos los posibles cambios globales en las políticas de rastreo de aplicaciones tras el conflicto con la Unión Europea, el legado de Tim Cook después de 15 años al frente de Apple y el crecimiento de la compañía frente a sus competidores.También hablamos de las filtraciones encontradas en macOS 27, los rumores sobre nuevos AirPods con cámaras e inteligencia artificial y la preocupante reestructuración que afectaría a equipos de Vision Pro, video inmersivo y Siri. ¿Apple está abandonando proyectos clave para concentrarse en sus próximos anteojos inteligentes?Además, repasamos los productos que podrían llegar próximamente: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, el posible iPhone Ultra plegable, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra de cuarta generación, nuevos HomePod y Apple TV.El iPhone 18 Pro sería uno de los grandes protagonistas, con chip A20 Pro de 2 nanómetros, pantalla de hasta 3600 nits, una batería que podría alcanzar los 5500 mAh, conectividad satelital 5G, Dynamic Island más pequeña y una esperada cámara con apertura variable. Sin embargo, esta última función podría resultar verdaderamente útil solo para quienes utilizan controles manuales, filtros ND y configuraciones avanzadas de fotografía.¿Estamos ante una nueva etapa de innovación o Apple está sacrificando talento y productos para proteger su enorme negocio?

Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 17 did better than expectations, but Windows Central's Daniel Rubino tells investors not to expect many changes for iPhone 18. The biggest change: foldable phone, which he sees facing some challenges as that corner of the market has plenty of new and established competitors. Daniel turns to longer-term headwinds he sees mounting against Apple, from supply constraints to China. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
