This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: Nobody saw this coming! The iPhone Pocket is a bizarre Apple product, and the press release announcing its precious existence is one of the most pretentious we’ve ever seen.
Still, it might be big in Asia!
Also on The CultCast:
- Apple’s new Digital ID is based on your passport and paves the way for the wallet-free (and possibly surveillance-intensive) future. We discuss the pros and cons.
- Sounds like Tesla is finally buckling and plans to give iPhone users what they want. Victory!
- Griffin shows off a cool new three-way charger that’s fantastic for travel (although he likes it at home, too).
- And finally, we discuss Pluribus, the great new Apple TV show from Breaking Bad mastermind Vince Gilligan. Two episodes in and we’re hooked!
