It's early October, and that means there are a host of new Apple products to spend your money on. Kelly Guimont returns to the show to discuss why you probably don't need an iPhone 17. Yes, there is a great new camera. The iPhone Air might be of interest to some too, given the new form factor. However, for many people, the upgrades to the Pro and standar models are incremental, not game-changing.



There is a lot of love for the AirPods Pro 3. From new heartrate monitoring to improve noise cancellatin, they are quite simply the best audio product Apple has ever released.

Amir Mizroch has worked at The Jerusalem Post, The Wall Street Journal, among other high-profile gigs. He joins the show to discuss all things Israeli tech and media, as well as the reasoning behind his new publication Israel Tech Insider.



During the conversation, we dive into how the war against Hamas has affected coverage inside and outside of Israel as well its impact on the country's tech sector. There are now swathes of the industry that had to stop as people were sent to fight. We also wonder why nobody else is doing the in-depth journalism of this thriving space.

Signal is, for most of us, a perfectly secure messaging app. It is though not the tool senior government figures should use to plan imminent military action on their mobile phones. And they certainly should not add a journalist to the chat if they do so. Sometimes, the best scoops just pop up in your lap. That’s exactly what happened to The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. James Ball, author and political editor of The New European, joins host Charlotte Henry to discuss The Atlantic getting hold of attack plans from the Trump Administration and how Goldberg handled the story.
