Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast

Google I/O: Oops, All Gemini!

The gang is all back together! We start things off with a generational rant from David about the state of smartphone photography before going deep into everything announced at Google I/O. Spoiler alert: it's AI. Then we wrap it all up with a new camera, marble racing, and of course trivia. Enjoy!
