This week on Connected:

The Big Tall Italian Boy is gone, but Stephen and Myke are together in person to review the iPhone XS on its way out the door, discuss reviews of the new iPhones and the Apple Watch Series 5. Then, they explore Apple Arcade and share what they’ve been playing.

I’m a little surprised at how much I like Apple Arcade.

My thanks to our sponsors for this jam-packed episode:

This week on MPU, David and I talked through the various ways one can backup their Apple devices:

If you aren’t backing up your data on a regular basis, this one is for you.
