My iPhone SE broke... so did Instagram (with TheUnlockr)
EWe get TheUnlockr on the podcast to talk about the iPhone SE, the Moto Edge+, and a new video creation toy that he's super excited to start using!

Does the iPhone SE (2020) change everything? (with TK Bay)
EThe iPhone SE is finally in our hands -- well, in JV's hands, anyway, because guest TK Bay was still waiting for his to arrive -- and it's time to react to this throwback of a phone that is surprisingly affordable! Content on the iPhone SE will be coming fast and hard over the next few days so here is your taste of what JV and TK Bay think of Apple's market-changing (but maybe not really) device.

ETK Bay and JV catch up for a bit while lamenting over some iOS troubles, despite how impressed they are by the cameras. But it is just an appetizer to the main course of this episode, which is the upcoming Google Pixel 4!

S1 Ep 375Can the Mate 30 Pro survive without Google apps?
EThunder E of Booredatwork returns to the show after an incredibly busy week - we had the iPhone 11 line dropping and then Huawei making headlines with their latest smartphones that are now lacking in one major aspect. After giving some impressions on the iPhones, we give our thoughts on whether or not Huawei will remain as successful as ever despite the loss of important and essential Google Apps like Maps. While there might be some relief for users who are open to sideloading and modding their Mate 30 Pro phones, what does this mean for the millions of other users who don't frequent XDA Developers?Enjoy a video version of the show in our YouTube version and keep the discussion going by answering our question in the comments section!

EThe latest Apple keynote has come and gone, but was there enough to really get people excited about the company's latest products? Are larger, bug-eye cameras enough to excuse the design? Is a telephoto lens really a 'Pro' feature? Will a lower price on the iPhone 11 actually make people consider upgrading or jumping ship from other smartphones?

S1 Ep 371Where is Huawei now?
EGuest TK Bay has returned from a long trip beyond the Great Firewall, getting to know more about a company that is in a midst of a global crisis. Or, at least that is what it seems until Huawei themselves say otherwise. Sure enough, TK has a lot to share from his time in China with the massive company, who shared more about their company culture, revealed Harmony OS, and gave everyone another look at the much anticipated but currently nebulous Mate X.

S1 Ep 364When Facebook and Instagram go down... | #364
EA significant shift occurred this past week, and we're not talking about the earthquakes in Southern California. Facebook went down, taking with it services like Instagram and Whatsapp. It led many of our team to explore other messaging applications, as well as ponder how often these outages have been occurring lately. In other news, Huawei made it back into the news by getting off the blacklist... only they're not being treated as such. And Samsung officially put out invitations for their next event, which we are looking forward to attending!

EA trip to Tokyo, Japan brings our hosts together to talk about Oppo and their latest phone, the Reno 10x Zoom.

EOur hosts come from international locales to bring you this week's episode of the Weekly! Internet speeds be damned, a one day delay ended up benefiting the show because one of the year's biggest leaks occurred: the Google Pixel 4 is basically official.

EWe were actually pleasantly surprised at the substantial announcements made at WWDC, both in hardware and software. The beastly Mac Pro (and its insane companion monitor) aside, we got some awesome updates to iOS 13 and the iPad Pro, now a viable secondary display for Macbooks!

S1 Ep 360Huawei's BACKUP PLAN | #360
EHuawei has had one hell of a last couple of weeks. After getting banned in the United States, high profile companies have been distancing themselves from the Chinese giant. We've already discussed what that could mean for the millions and millions of Huawei users around the world, but the news just keeps on coming - in one case, from the CEO himself! Huawei's leadership has stated that the company would protest a retaliating Chinese ban on Apple products. But in the days since then, a backup plan has emerged.
