Episode notes

This chapter discusses the decline in anticipation and excitement surrounding new iPhone releases in recent years, as the latest iPhone 15 launch fails to make a significant impact. The chapter mentions advancements such as a new button, a USB-C charging port, and minor camera improvements, with the most notable development being the availability of a pink color option. It suggests that the lack of excitement is not due to a lack of attractive features, but rather a threat from another source.

It would not be the first time that a member of the government has gone missing, not even the first time this year. But what does this say about the leadership of the People’s Liberation Army? No one cares about Apple’s new iPhone, but the tech giant has more to worry about (09:24). And why an old-school motorbike is still driving new hype in India (16:00).
