We dive into whether Apple should be scared now that Samsung's got this momentum (15:35) and if the Note7 is worth the $850 price (15:45).

We then shift gears to talk about the latest iPhone 7 (17:15) and Apple Watch 2 rumors. With only a few weeks left to go before Apple is expected to announce the new iPhones, we're still wondering what the deal will be with the headphone jack and the two screen sizes (20:01). 。

Bloomberg's
。Mark Gurman also dropped a new report on the next-gen Apple Watch, claiming it won't come with built-in cellular connectivity, but will sport an integrated GPS and better health-tracking features (22:57).。

Finally, we chat a little about the always-hot topic of autonomous cars. Earlier this week, Ford announced plans to deliver a driverless car without a steering wheel or pedals in 2021 (28:20).。

Uber then announced it's ready to roll out its own driverless cars later this month in Pittsburgh. 。

One one side, Pete firmly believes autonomous cars will be a thing by 2021 and on the other side Lance disputes it, citing legislative barriers and safety stigma as reasons why it'll be decades before it's a meaningful part of our lives (36:00).。 Listen to the episode on 。Listen to the episode on。 iTunes 。or on。 Stitcher。.
