Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast

The Apple Release Tier List

A lot happened this week! First, the crew falls down a rabbit hole discussing the Subaru UI and volume knobs before jumping right into all of the new Apple devices that were released. Then they talk about the Honor robot phone, Ray-Ban Meta privacy issues, and Google's 30% Play Store tax. They wrap it up by explaining the Bam Adebayo record breaking performance in tech terms.

Nothing Like a New MacBook!

I Refuse to Share my Location, AITA?

A few months ago, MKBHD producer Harper Makowsky had an idea. What if we did a bonus episode using the "Am I the A$$hole" format from the popular subreddit and made it all about tech? So here we are! Marques, Andrew, and David discuss everything from sharing your location with your partner to using mechanical keyboards. We'll be back later this week with your regularly scheduled episode. P.S - This is our first explicit episode so if you usually listen with children nearby you have been warned!
