Guy English joins Dan and Moltz this week as Lex is away. The new Porsche 911 only has CarPlay: http://www.motortrend.com/features/mt_hot_list/13_cool_facts_about_the_2017_porsche_911/ Late-breaking FU, Google says it's not asking for what Motor Trend said it was asking for: https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/651698998693220352 Microsoft made a Surface that "will replace your laptop":

Are you sticking with Apple Music? http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/09/apple-music-to-renew-or-not-to-renew/ Dan reminisces about the first iPod ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS8iHrNpc2I Dan finds an Apple support document that explains everything haha not really: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204962 Some crazy person put the 6s and 6s+ in water for an hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_HbztTpL08 The iPhone 6s isn't waterproof but it's more water resistant:

While Dan is busy touching these devices, Lex and Moltz discuss the new iPad Pro (http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/), new Apple TV (http://www.apple.com/tv/), and the new iPhones (http://www.apple.com/iphone/). You can read some stuff about them on Six Colors (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/09/notebook-apples-newest-product-announcements/). Moltz wrote a thing about round watch faces versus square watch faces (http://verynicewebsite.net/2015/09/the-watch-face-wars/). Lex has some thoughts about Product

Guy English joins Dan and Moltz to talk about what Apple might announce next week. Probably an Apple TV and probably not a 4-inch iPhone: http://9to5mac.com/2015/08/30/apple-tv-4-200-october/ In talking about what the new remote for the Apple TV might be like, Guy fondly remembers the Open Office mouse: http://www.wired.com/2009/11/18-button-open-office-mouse-makes-a-keyboard-look-minimal/ Second generation Apple TVs go for a decent amount on eBay because they can be hacked:

Apple avoided having its stock drop by having Tim Cook send an email to Jim Cramer and Lex believes Cook is going to jail: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-ceo-tim-cook-may-have-violated-sec-rules-with-jim-cramer-email-2015-08-24?link=MW_home_latest_news Is Apple renting out extra space for the iPhone event: http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/08/24/rumor-apple-to-rent-out-new-san-francisco-space-for-iphone-event The Best Buy CEO says Apple Watch sales are "so good", whatever that means:

Windows 10 is a privacy-stealing machine: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/07/30/windows-10-privacy-settings/ Needless to say, Cory Doctorow doesn't like that: http://boingboing.net/2015/08/03/windows-10-defaults-to-keylogg.html And even when you turn it off, it still sends stuff back to Microsoft: http://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/ APPLE BUILDING SELF-DRIVING CAR OR MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE:

LEX HAS A NEW IPHONE! Thanks to T-Mobile, who are not advertisers on this podcast (http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/iphone-offer-music-freedom-amped.htm). Craig Hockenberry had his credit card compromised, but saw no interruption of his Apple Pay enjoyment: http://www.imore.com/apple-pay-rescue Dan weighed in on the possibility of Apple making its own MVNO back in May: http://www.macworld.com/article/2919139/could-apple-become-its-own-cellular-carrier.html Apple is denying it's

Lex is back! Remember Lex? You probably read this, but Jim Dalrymple went off on Apple Music: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/22/apple-music-is-a-nightmare-and-im-done-with-it/ But then he got his music back. All he had to do is go to Cupertino: http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/07/24/i-got-my-music-back-at-least-most-of-it/ Jason Snell likes Apple Music in his library: http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/07/in-praise-of-apple-music-in-my-itunes-library/ T-Mobile added Apple Music to its Freedom Plan:

Recurring special guest Guy English joins us as Lex is out striking important business deals (http://www.midroll.com/pr/). We recorded this before Apple's results were announced (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/07/appleq3results/) but as Apple was having some uptime issues with its online services (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/). People may really like their Apple Watches, if you believe surveys (https://techpinions.com/the-state-of-apple-watch-satisfaction/41126). Does the iPhone

PRIME DAY? http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=11448061011 Lex and Dan talk about their Echoes but I'm tired of linking to that. You can find it. Walt Mossberg has some tips and tricks for the Echo, which I hate: http://recode.net/2015/07/07/the-amazon-echo-everything-you-might-not-know/ Like Dan in this article, we

No Lex this week, which is sad because he had so many opinions about Taylor Swift. Here's a synopsis of what happened over the weekend if you were off the grid: http://recode.net/2015/06/21/apple-says-it-will-pay-taylor-swift-for-free-streams-after-all/ Dan has some thoughts of his own here: http://sixcolors.com/link/2015/06/apples-reversal-on-paying-artists-during-the-apple-music-trial-period/ Swift does not consider her stance on photographs of her in concert the same thing

Phil Schiller finds Moltz funny (http://www.imore.com/gruber-and-schiller-our-full-transcript-talk-show-wwdc). Marco Arment thinks Schiller's appearance on The Talk Show (http://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2015/06/09/ep-123) shows he's one of us (http://www.marco.org/2015/06/11/live-with-phil).

We, of course, discuss the WWDC Keynote (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/06/wwdc-2015-keynote-the-fine-print/). We were not fans of the Apple Music introduction (http://leancrew.com/all-this/2015/06/facing-the-music/). Apple removed the lube from the Cleveland Indians ransom note and then, ugh, gave a bunch of free stuff to rich sports stars

This week we talk about Google Photos (https://photos.google.com/) which, of course, prompts us to talk about the business model differences between Apple and Google (http://www.marco.org/2015/05/29/why-not-google). Moltz mentions Edward Snowden and gets his name wrong but he's apparently not the only one who does that (https://twitter.com/charlesarthur/status/606483046745964544). We talk about Photos features

No Dan Moren this week as he was on an "aeroplane". So, Lex and Moltz talk about their experiences with their Sonos... uh, Sonoses? (http://www.sonos.com/) Right now you can get two Sonos Play speaker units for $349 (they are not an advertiser). Lex has several swear words for Chris Breen (https://twitter.com/bodyofbreen) who suggested he get the Sonos, even though he and Moltz actually like them. Lex finds the Sonos works well if you have a Rhapsody account (http://www.rhapsody.com). Again, not an
