This week on Connected:

A day after Apple’s event, the boys come up for air long enough to talk about the most recent firmware leak, the dedication of Steve Jobs Theatre, the iPhone 8 — of course — the iPhone X.

We were so worked up over new phones and leaks, we didn’t even get to the Apple Watch and Apple TV. STAY TUNED.
