Apple’s foldable iPhone is finally here, but is a $1,999 phone actually useful enough to justify the price? Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar break down the iPhone Duo, iOS 27 and the Siri AI waitlist, Apple Watch listening features, rising storage prices and what Apple’s latest hardware could mean for creators.

Plus, Nintendo brings back more of its past with the Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake and classic Mario Kart tracks, MapQuest adds new Questies, Chachi reports on the disappearing White House Tetris clone, and Dave celebrates CAPTCHA and Duolingo co-founder Luis von Ahn for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Sorg also takes us behind the scenes of producing professional wrestling inside the 911th Air Wing’s massive hangar.

We talk with Po-Shen Loh, the founder of the Novid app. We talk about how Novid uses a network effect theory mixed with ultrasonic sound to communicate with other users to provide anonymous contact tracing for Covid-19 contact notifications. We talk about the technology as it compares to the Android and iOS Covid-19 API, new features to add points of relation to "forecast" Coronavirus outbreaks, and how the app may only need 10% adoption to be effective.
