We’re back with a recap of Apple’s iPhone Duo launch event! In this episode, Devindra and Engadget Senior Reporter Karissa Bell break down their thoughts on Apple’s first foldable, and how the company is building on a form factor that Samsung pioneered.

It&#39;s rare for tech companies to get a second chance at life, but that&#39;s the story of the VR exercise platform Supernatural. After Meta announced that it planned to shut down the exercise app, Supernatural revealed that it will be relaunching later this year as an independent company. To figure out what&#39;s next for Supernatural, we talked with one of its founding coaches and Head of Fitness, Leanne Pedante.

Apple finally launched the public betas for iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate and all of its other new software this week. In this episode, Devindra and Nathan Ingraham dive into their thoughts around Siri AI, as well as the performance improvements in these new releases. Siri AI seems genuinely useful, and potentially less annoying to consumers than Microsoft’s Copilot. Also, we try to figure out what the hell is up with OpenAI’s rumored robotic AI speaker. iOS 27 and macOS 27 Previews - 2:44OpenAI’s First Gadget Is Reportedly A “Humanlike” Portable Speaker - 21:22Apple Calls OpenAI’s Hardware Business “Rotten To The Core” + OpenAI Pushes Back - 29:01Reviews Around Engadget - 34:36Engadget Pop Culture Picks - 40:32 Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Microsoft made its Xbox layoffs official this week, and they’re absolutely brutal. The company plans to lay off 3,200 employees, or 20 percent of its workforce, over the next year. 1,600 were immediately let go this week. To help us understand Xbox&#39;s strategy (if there’s any), we chatted with Mike Futter, co-host of the Virtual Economy Podcast and Director of Ops and Publishing at Causeway Studios. Once again, we chart Xbox’s sad decline to the inauspicious debut of the Xbox One in 2013.

Valve’s Steam Machine is finally here! But while it lives up to much of the hype, its high price makes us wonder who it’s really for. In this episode, Senior Writer Jessica Conditt joins to talk about her experience with the Steam Machine and how it compares to consoles (which have also gotten very expensive). Also, we discuss Sony’s bombshell announcement about killing physical PlayStation discs in 2028 and Xbox’s confusing array of layoffs.

With SpaceX planning to go public on June 12th, we brought on Slate’s Nitish Pahwa to dive into what it all means. How can an unprofitable company justify an IPO, and what does it plan to do with all that money? And how can we square the tech and finance world’s excitement over this IPO when Elon Musk spent this week <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2191553/after-belfast-riots-uk-reminds-social-platforms-theyre-obligated-to-remove-hateful-content/" rel="nofollow">inciting the Belfast race riots</a>? ﻿SpaceX may have the largest IPO ever, how will it change the tech investment landscape? – 1:13A few stray thoughts on WWDC 2026 – 38:33 Meta silently adds, then deletes facial recognition code from its smart glasses – 44:08Anthropic’s Fable AI brings Mythos’ coding power to consumers – 45:47 Around Engadget: Rivian R2 first drive and a review of the Logitech Mobi Fold – 51:50Pop culture picks – 52:20 Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Between Computex and Microsoft Build, it’s been a pretty busy week. In this episode, Senior Editor Daniel Cooper joins to discuss NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark chip, which will power a new generation of Windows laptop.

This week, Cherlynn dives into her review of the new screen-less FitbIt Air, Google&#39;s new wearable meant to take on Whoop&#39;s popular bands. Also, we dive into Pope Leo&#39;s first Encyclical, which is focused on reining in AI and Big Tech&#39;s dominance and prioritizing humanity instead. We also chat with &#34;Padre&#34; Fr.

It’s a good weekend to think about buying a new TV! In this episode, Devindra is joined by Dipin Sehdev, the founder of CECritic, to discuss the new RGB TVs and how they compare to OLED, the previous high-end TV technology of choice.

As usual, Google delivered much of its consumer-focused news this week during the Android Show, ahead of its I/O developer conference next week. We&#39;ve gotten a closer look at Android 17, which will sport a slew of new Gemini AI integrations, including some new agentic upgrades. The company also officially announced Googlebooks, its latest line of laptops built around AI features and Android interoperability. It looks like a major evolution on the concept of Chromebooks, though Google says those won&#39;t be going anywhere.  What’s new at The Android Show: Googlebooks, Gemini Intelligence, and file sharing with iOS – 1:25eBay rejects Gamestop’s offer as “not credible or attractive” – 32:18 U.S. cell carriers form a joint venture to fix service dead spots – 33:41 OpenAI sued by spouse of FSU shooting victim, who used ChatGPT to plan shooting spree – 38:44Apple is making the iOS Camera app more customizable – 44:06 RIP Rufus, we hardly knew ye: Amazon dubs Alexa its new shopping assistant – 44:58Around Engadget – 47:14 Working on – 49:26 Pop culture picks – 51:15 Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Can a meme stock buy a real company? This week, Gamestop proposed a $56 billion takeover of eBay, despite seemingly not being able to afford such a deal. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget&#39;s Daniel Cooper discuss what the heck is going on (and why this deal most likely won&#39;t happen).

The Apple rumors were true, once again. This week, the company announced that Tim Cook will be stepping down from his CEO role on September 1. Replacing him will be John Ternus, who currently serves as Apple&#39;s SVP of hardware engineering. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget&#39;s Nathan Ingraham discuss Cook&#39;s legacy as Apple&#39;s CEO, and pontificate about how Ternus may change things. We&#39;re going from Apple being led by a logistics guru, to Apple being driven by a product and engineering wizard. Surely, that will have some impact on future products.
