In this 50th anniversary spectacular episode, there was a surprise event on December 8th where Apple released the highly anticipated AirPods Max. This may have been a quiet release but may not be quiet in the music and audio community. On paper, is is difficult to justify the $549 price tag but as many Apple products have shown us in the past, these might be worth the price of admission.

In the next segment, we examine Apple’s “environmental” approach in doing away with including chargers with new iPhone purchases. This grinds our gears as to trying get the advertised price of 15w charging, you need to spend an additional $60 to your brand new iPhone 12. This is not even solved by purchasing the MagSafe Duo charger and 30W adaptor which really does not make any sense in our book. Dakota retorts that his wireless charging experience has never been about speed but segues into the new generation of phones which may not have any ports at all. If Apple removes all ports in future phone, they should ethically include a charging adaptor as there is no other way to charge the phone otherwise.
