About this Episode

In our thirty-first show we chat about Apple's very recent 'Gather Round' event which unveiled the Apple Watch Series 4, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. We talk about Tim's tweet, Jeff's sullen tones, Kevin's warping, and the inevitably undesirable third party demos. We also reveal what we're purchasing and give our top tips for pre-order day (although it's a bit late now).
