Phone has gone Pro — iPhone 11 Pro more specifically! — and I went hands-on with it to bring you back a first look and first impressions.

Android 10 — alas, no more desert names need apply, has begun rolling out, starting first with Google’s own Pixel phones. iOS 13 should be rolling out in about two weeks, just before Apple launches its next batch of iPhones. And as much as they’re completely different operating systems from different companies with different philosophies behind them, they’re doing some similar things this time around. To talk about all of that, I’ve got Android Central’s managing editor, Daniel Bader on the line.

I know some people are doom and gloom cynical, and all pre-bored about the iPhone 11 and all, and I’ve already done a whole video about why I think they’re wrong and how the new camera features alone have me pretty excited. But, there’s another reason I’m kinda hyped as well. Apple’s got a whole new Find My app shipping with iOS 13 and macOS Catalina. And, rumor has it, a whole new Find My accessory to go with it, maybe as soon as Apple’s iPhone 11 Event this coming Tuesday in Cupertino, California. And here's why that may just be AirPod-level exciting... SPONSOR: Eero: Go to https://eero.com/vector and enter code VECTOR at checkout to get FREE overnight shipping with your order!

iPhone prices — hell, flagship phone prices in general — have never been higher. At the same time, the carrier subsidies that used to cover up the costs have gone away and so the amped up prices are all amped up in our faces. Still, I know some people online — not just YouTubers and bloggers — who each year, every year, still always get the new iPhone. Now, I have to do that for my job, but I was curious why and how they did it. So, I asked. Why was easy. They always wanted the latest and the greatest. How was a lot more interesting: They’d mastered the art of selling their previous iPhone right before the next one was was announced and using the money they got to greatly — greatly — reduce the cost of upgrading.

Disney just held their annual D23 event, jam-packed with new programming and information about their upcoming Disney+ streaming service and Apple has released more trailers for the shows set to debut on their upcoming TV+ streaming service. But… one of these things is not like the other. So, what does it all mean for Disney, for Apple, and for us? Let’s figure it out.

Apple is expanding repair support for out-of-warranty iPhones beyond AppleCare, beyond Apple Stores, beyond even Apple Authorized Service Providers.

We’ve had a ton of leaks, a ton of spoilers, a bunch of renders on twitter and grafs in business pubs. But Apple hasn’t announced the iPhone 11 yet. Tim Cook hasn’t shown it off on stage. Phil Schiller hasn’t gone over all its feature slides. Oh yeah, It’s that time of year again. Apple’s annual iPhone event is only a couple of weeks away and we already have some people tripping all over themselves to tell you how boring and must-skippable it’s just gotta to be. And, while I’m going to focus on Apple and the upcoming iPhone 11 Pro for this, please feel free to extrapolate it out to the just-announced Galaxy Note 10 and still pending Google Pixel 4 as well. Now, I’m going to break this down into two parts — the phones and the market. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/vector and get 20% off their annual Premium subscription!

Wait, no, don’t hard quit the podcast! Don’t you do it! Yes, it’s enterprise. I know. But, just hold on a hot damn second. These new features for iOS 13, iPadOS, and macOS Catalina in enterprise are cool. Mostly because I kinda love what they just might be hinting at for the future of all of Apple’s operating systems… and for all of us.

Apple Watch Series 5. There’s been so little news about it this year, some people have started wondering out loud if there’d even be a new Apple Watch this year. But, well.. Series 4 was such a leap forward, the speculation is going, that Series 5 could take a year off and just kind of coast. You know, maybe price drop it and use that as a way to lower the entry point and put pressure on competitors instead. And you know, maybe. But… it just doesn’t click for me.

Mac Pro. MacBook Pro. iPad Pro. iMac Pro. Powerbeats Pro… iPhone Pro?   There’s a rumor going around that Apple might just call one or more of this fall’s iPhones… the iPhone Pro. Or maybe the iPhone 11 Pro. It’s unclear.   Also unclear: What, beyond just adding the label, Apple could do to make the iPhone really, truly worthy of the name ‘Pro’. That is, if the name ‘Pro” even means anything any more.   Curious, I asked all of you on Twitter what you thought… and wow did you respond.

Yeah, I’m just gonna lean right into Bettridge’s Law with this video title. Right on in. So, the story is this: A couple of days ago, Justin from TheArtofRepair YouTube channel discovered that, all of a sudden, swapping out the battery on an iPhone resulted in the newish battery health monitoring system turning off and popping up: "Important battery message: Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery. Health information not available for this battery" Since then, we’ve seen headlines like Vice’s “Apple Is Locking Batteries to Specific iPhones, a Nightmare for DIY Repair” and, of course, iFixit’s “Apple Is Locking iPhone Batteries to Discourage Repair” and just a ton more like them. Now, I’m going to push back kinda hard on using the term “locking” for any of this. Not because I’m an evil Apple apologist or defender, even though I can feel some of you just itching… itching to start typing that in the comments right now already. But because I think it’s just dumb and let’s Apple off the hook far t

It’s Samsung’s big Galaxy Note 10 day today and so I’ve got Daniel Bader, Managing Editor of Android Central, on the line with me to tell us all about it. Who is the Galaxy Note 10 for? Does it still cater to power users and nerds, even without a headphone jack? How does the camera compare to Huawei? How do the features compare to $500 and under phones? How will the Galaxy Note 10 hold up to the upcoming Apple iPhone 11 and Google Pixel 4? And do you even need to think about 5G now?
