This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: After eyeballing the latest iPhone 14 Pro renders from John Prosser and Ian Zelbo, we’re left with two big impressions. One, that iPhone looks awfully familiar. Two … purple? Really?!?

Also on The CultCast:

  • Please let the latest cryptic HomePod rumor be true.
  • Can your eyes handle the even-fancier Studio Display that’s supposedly coming soon? And can your wallet?
  • This week’s giveaway features a mophie 3-in-1 travel charger that makes us wish we could enter. (Don’t worry. You can, and we’ll try to hid our jealousy.)
  • Erfon’s got a bit of a crush on Soundcore Frames, the Bluetooth sunglasses you can hear.

Soundcore Frames

Erfon is really enjoying using Soundcore Frames when he walks around outside. If you like listening to podcasts while you’re on the move, these Bluetooth sunglasses with tiny speakers in the temples will win you over with their ethereal sound.

Soundcore offers several different sunglasses styles. And the fact that you can swap out the fronts so you can switch things up is icing on the cake. Prices start at $199.99.
