Two Blokes Talking Tech

Just two blokes missing each other:)

Apple has announced their September event, with an iPhone 13 due very soon. Trev got the date right, Stephen got the name right - that's the top line. Both blokes unpack what they expect from Apple next Wednesday Morning. On the other side of the fence the two blokes have published reviews of Samsung's Folding phones - what's the verdict? Foxtel gets streaming, with all live channels available on an iQ box ready to record. Optus has your back with reminders for your mates to check in on you, while Trev tries the Backbone One gaming controller for iPhone and Stephen has a bunch of Satechi gear for your work-from-home.

Just a couple of blokes locked down with nothing to do

Telstra updates their network logo on iPhone with a Vaccination plea, and offers rewards for Vaccinated Coverage. Meanwhile Vodafone goes Unlimited with an $85 max speed plan. Meanwhile Apple seems to be winning battles and legal stoushes with tweaks for smaller developers. Trev licks a battery - for testing purposes of course. Window 11 launch date is set, what is it and why. Trev tries out the new Jabra Elite 3 which are outstanding for the price and Stephen considers the online used car dealer Cars24.

Just gibberish.. as always

Managing your own and your family's screen addiction during lockdown is a challenge, with surveys showing addiction is more of a problem than ever. Plus the new Apple Watch - will it get an all-new look at the upcoming Apple iPhone event, or does it warrant an event of its own. Trev finds a simple but powerful smart connected photo frame, while Stephen explores Will Smith's fitness and new Fitbit partnership. New earphones that know your ear profile and tune to you, and the robust solid sound of the JBL Charge 5 speaker.

Thanks to Netgear & Arlo the Two Blokes Talking Tech are covering this week's tech news, starting off with all the news from Samsung this week. A new Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Flip3 5G are hitting the market in September and they come in with new features and dramatically reduced prices. Another streaming service? Did anyone ask for that? No. But Paramount+ has launched at $8.99 a month, so what's it about and what's it got? Plus the 140 inch screen in your glasses so only you see what you're watching, the thin Aussie portable display for your laptop or PC, and both Stephen and Trevor review the JBL Live Pro+ headphones.

Life in lockdown
