Happy iPhone season! Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't -- if JV has any say about it, the new iPhone 14 lineup is fine from most standpoints, but a whole new paradigm is starting with the introduction of fully eSIM units in the US. JV and Nick debate the pros and cons of this change before getting into the general announcements, followed by a pretty quick synopsis of IFA, which Nick did actually attend. Follow our guests!

And we're back! Thank you so much for your patience as I, JV, get back in the saddle to host the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast. I never closed the door on hosting this long running show, but I did find that I had to take care of my own stuff, personal and professional, as I juggled so many different projects at any given time. I want to give thanks to the Pocketnow team for always being understanding and patient with me, not to mention them giving me the space to do everything I do in whatever manner that keeps me healthy in body and spirit. That being said, I had a great opportunity to bring back the podcast because some of our friends were together with me on a wonderful trip -- the Sony Kando Trip. Made primarily as a way for photographer and Sony Alpha camera enthusiasts and influencers to get together, the small core group of tech friends were also in attendance and I got two of them -- Thunder E of Booredatwork and David Cogen, TheUnlockr -- to join me as we talked about the entire lovely week and the Sony Xperia 5 IV. Look forward to future episodes and I'll do my best to bring them out on a consistent basis -- but do bear with me as I get my feet wet again as the host of the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast!

Google I/O has come and gone, but there were so many great announcements made that JV and Nick Gray have to make a chunky episode talking about everything that they were excited about. Google wasn't the only one that had a great week though -- Sony with their Xperia 1 IV and the WH1000xM5 headphones made quite the splash too, and the two talk through them before the I/O craziness.

Google I/O is on the horizon, and there are a few hardware announcements that JV and Nick are really excited for: the Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds Pro. Of course, that doesn't mean we're really going to be seeing them in a few days, but it's still fun to speculate! Before that though, JV wanted to just put forth a bit of appreciation for pieces of tech that have gotten smaller, more powerful, and more efficient. Also, Amazon Fresh. Follow our guests!

JV and Nick Gray get through a few main stories from this past week, including the release of a couple of software betas: the Nothing Launcher and Android 13 ahead of Google I/O! After that, JV wonders why we even need the Snap Pixy selfie drone, even if he admits that he will get one to try out regardless. Follow our guests!

Nick is back on the show -- well, you might have expected that, but he was actually down with COVID over the last week. Nick Gray of Phandroid recounts his experience of being locked up with all of his tech while JV expresses all the gratitude he can that everyone is okay. After that, the two talk through the OnePlus 10 Pro and why it's so hard to wrap their heads around. Follow our guests!

JV and Nick talk about the announcement that actually shared... Nothing. The enigmatic Carl Pei brought very few details about the smartphone that will be developed and released by his much hyped company, Nothing. The two speculate about the upcoming smartphone and JV praises the Nothing ear(1) as a good faith look into what might be in store. Before that, a live unboxing on the podcast of the newly available Moto edge+ and some last thoughts on the iPhone SE and the iPad Air with the M1 chip. Follow our guests!

We're back! Not that we were trying to be totally gone -- JV and Nick Gray of Phandroid return to talk about the week's mobile tech news which include the recent Apple event! Do you really need an M1 Ultra in a Mac Studio? No, but you really want one, don't you? Also, Nick is fresh off the first international trip most of us have had in a long time, as he recounts the announcements and experiences from MWC 2022. Follow our guests!

JV and Nick Gray are back from CES 2022 -- well, they've been back for a while, but are just now getting to recount their experience at one of the most unique shows ever. From Samsung announcements including the Galaxy S21 FE to wireless Android Auto courtesy of Motorola, the two run down a lot of what they enjoyed at the show. Follow our guests!

On this episode, Jaime Rivera sat down with the folks from John Deere, who had a notable presence at CES 2022 -- JV and Jaime both got a great look at the tech that power their autonomous combines and tractors. With autonomous driving all the rage both on and off the roads, Jaime learns what makes John Deere's technology so effective -- and where it might lead us.

Just days before the turn of the new year, Nick Gray and JV come together to celebrate some of the best items from 2021, courtesy of the Phandroid list.

David Imel is back and joins JV during the Qualcomm Tech Summit!

At the Mediatek Summit Jaime Rivera and JV were able to sit down with a couple of people from the company to talk the new announcements: Dr. Finbarr Moynihan, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, and Alfred Chan, the Vice President of Product Marketing of TV. They all go through the exciting 7nm processor announcement for smart TVs in the Pentonic 2000, and then open. up the discussion to the Dimensity 9000, the latest in a line of SoCs that is already making higher end smartphone experiences more accessible.

It's Thanksgiving! Even if you are currently not recovering from a gravy-induced food coma, come chill with JV and Nick Gray as they give some thanks for this year's developments, both in and out of tech.

JV and Nick saw each other just a couple days ago, but they link up for this episode of the podcast before meeting up again next week! Tech news will ramp up in the coming days with the Mediatek Summit and the Qualcomm Tech Summit, two events that the two are really looking forward to because the chipset market has really ramped up recently with Apple silicon and Google Tensor. Before all that, JV reveals a customization he didn't think he'd have to make to the Google Pixel 6 Pro... Follow our guests!

Jaime comes back to the show to talk about the MacBook Pro updates -- in fact, both he and JV recorded this episode using the MacBook Pro 14, which is definitely shaping up to be the go-to everyday laptop. The two talk through the changes with laptop and what they are most stoked about -- and why JV is feeling more in the walled garden than ever before. But before it became an all Apple show, JV and Jaime touch base on the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, phones with incredible cameras but questionable software (at least to Jaime).

Newcomer to the show but veteran of the game, Mark Linsangan, brings his stylish creator ways to the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast and talks with JV about the Pixel 6 Pro, which we can finally officially talk about! They also talk a little more about the behind the scenes aspects of being a tech pundit, which came to the forefront as the Pixels were arriving over the last week. And finally, Mark tries to convince JV to get one of the new Macbook Pros with the M1 Pro or M1 Max. Follow our guests!

JV and Isa catch up with Nick Gray to talk about some of the devices that he currently has on hand, including the Honor 50 and the Realme GT Neo2. But that's all just on top of what will be a really busy week that includes the arrival (finally!) of the new Pixels, just in time to snatch JV out of the Apple walled garden after weeks of iPhone coverage.

And we're back! We took a little bit of time off -- somewhat deliberately -- because there just has been so much work to be done! And part of the reason for that comes down to 4 new iPhones, the new iPad, and the refreshed iPad Mini. JV and Jaime go through most of the new devices, talking through certain details like Cinematic Mode in the phones and the 5G network capabilities of the updated iPad Mini. Follow our guests!

JV and Jaime are joined by Ziad Asghar from Qualcomm to talk about artificial intelligence and how it enhances our everyday tech. They dive into the role of AI in multiple areas that many people might not realize benefit from the technology -- from camera quality to even media consumption. The three then field questions from the Snapdragon Insiders community after giving thoughts on tech's past, present, and future. [This episode is sponsored by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Jaime Rivera returns to the show with a ton of thoughts on the new Matrix Resurrections trailer -- so many, in fact, that he wrote an editorial on how it shines a (black) mirror up to our current state of ubiquitous tech. That editorial is linked below and serves as a great companion to this discussion which included Isa Rodriguez sharing the mic with JV -- while wearing the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses that were made in collaboration with... wait for the irony...

JV and Isa are fresh off a trip to NEW YORRRRRRRRK -- where Qualcomm invited media and fans alike to enjoy a concert by Steve Aoki. There was a tech angle, of course, with Snapdragon Sound getting updated with a new aptX codec: aptX Lossless. The two talk about their travel to the event before JV gives Isa a long primer on audio codecs. Audiophile or not, it seems the evolution of aptX is just meant to benefit everyone! Follow our guests!

What phone would you want to have the most on a vacation? The Pixel 5a might fit the bill -- the term Pixel still translates to 'photo taking beast,' but even better is the lower price tag. JV and Isa both have Pixels on a holiday they took to Hawaii last week, but they also have the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy Z Fold on hand! While they might need to protect the foldables from the sand and saltwater, opinions are already being formed in the early days of use. Follow our guests!

Look who's back on the show! JV welcomes his partner, Isa of Isa does tech, back to the Pocketnow Weekly Podcast. She provides some thoughts on her long travel given current times, thoughts on using the LG Puricare HEPA filter smart mask on the flight, and then the two get into the releases of the past couple weeks. No Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3 in their hands yet, but maybe they're actually more excited for the upcoming flagship-level Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Follow our guests!

In this very special episode, we have a returning guest: Hassan Anjum, Director and Head of Product for New Computing at Samsung! It's been a year since we had him on the show, so Jaime and JV catch up with Hassan to talk about everything computing and tablets. After all, we have a special new product on hand in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE! The three talk about the tablet's great specs for an even better price, ponder the meaning of the term 'Fan Edition,' and then share what their ideal device might be -- the answers might surprise you!

Jaime and JV get to catch up face-to-face to talk about... tractors? Jaime just got back from a trip with John Deere to see their -- perhaps surprisingly -- high tech self-driving solutions for farming and agriculture. After that, they bring it back to smartphones with the announcement of the OnePlus Nord 2. All recorded on the Rode Wireless Go 2, which might be the way we get easy podcasts done on location, like at trade shows! Follow our guests!

Nick is back from another vacation and we already have quite a bit to talk about. Xiaomi surpasses Apple, JV finally got to attend a tech event (sort of), and the Steam Deck reservation system is a mess for everyone else! Follow our guests!

Ricky Villacrez from GSMArena is back! After a quick catch up with JV, the two talk about the Pixel Buds A-Series that Ricky just got done reviewing, followed by some reactions to the Nintendo Switch OLED announcement. What happened to the Switch Pro? Is it even needed? And on that note, is the "phone for Snapdragon Insiders" needed? Ricky and JV talk through what can only really be described as Qualcomm's version of merch. Follow our guests!

We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! JV gets TK back on the show to start off the work week -- mostly to talk about phones that JV has yet to get his hands on: the Realme GT in that great black and yellow colorway, and the Sony Xperia 1 iii! All of that comes after some talk regarding Cyberpunk 2077, which Josh finally returned to as a way to decompress during the July 4 weekend. Follow our guests!
