This is 7. Actually, this is episode 89. In a courageous move, we run through Tuesday's iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2 event. Please note that the high-gloss finish of this podcast is achieved through a precision nine-step recording process. Its content is equally enjoyable as other episodes, however, its high shine may cause fine micro-abrasions on your phone speakers after listening. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many headphones available that will not fit an iPhone 7 lightning port.

Plus: 1Password embracing subscription pricing, Eddy Cue's sock-less meeting dress code, and question of whether or not anybody cares that Instagram borrowed a third of Snapchat’s core app.

It's not so bad and it'll give them a chance to think about the out of control price inflation of IKEA furniture, what to make of the forthcoming iPhone 6S-S, the differences between two-step and two-factor authentication and a heck of a lot more.

Little known fact: we were going to call this show Any Given Wednesday but decided to go in a different direction at the last moment.

We discuss giving better time estimates, how not to jinx your favorite sports team, concerns and hopes for VR, gettin' swole with Xbox Fitness, cactus news, and much much more. ⌚️.

Good evening and welcome to the show. Would you like still or sparkling water with your podcast this evening?As with most things in life, it's never that simple.

Listen for the answer to these questions plus: the tyranny of alkaline watch batteries in 2016, Apple Watch follow-up, that NYT podcast article, Google Chirp and the Nexus Q that never had a chance to orb.
