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.
