The CultCast

Send us a text!Back in September, popular Youtuber Lewis Hilsenteger released a hands-on video of what he believed to be the outer shell of the iPad 5. The video exploded on the internet, and 6 weeks later when Apple announced the iPad Air, it confirmed his video preview was spot on. So how does someone get their hands on the parts of one of Apple's most anticipated gadgets weeks before it’s announced? Our guest this episode is Lewis Hilsentenger, and he’s going to tell us exactly how he did it. Plus, sightings iPhone 6 parts are ramping up; iWatch might come in two sizes; the new Steve Jobs movie just hit a setback, but it's ok, because one of the best movies of all time is getting a sequel.
