v43.1 - iPhone 17 Event Review

Feature Release

Video of this episode is up on YouTube:

It's an emergency bonus edition of Breaking Change as I take the covers off yet another show-within-a-show. I call it Feature Release, and its job is to fill in that middle number in our semantically versioned series of conversations together. No pun, no news, just some timely content wrapped up in a name, logo, and jingle package that still has that new podcast smell.

It's a 1-hour review of the Airpods, Apple Watch, and iPhone updates Apple announced today. You can see the full event video on YouTube. The Verge has a 17 minute abridged version if you just want the synopsis.

Please enjoy this episode of Feature Release! It may be the only one. Write into podcast@searls.co with your feedback!
