This week, we finally talk about Apple getting sued by the Department of Justice in the United States, but only after talking about Threads finally federating (kinda). We also discuss the upcoming developer conferences that were announced by both Google and Apple and talk about what we expect to see. Lastly, we talk about Full Self Driving and break down what exactly you get with each tier of Tesla autopilot. Of course, we wrap it all up with a little trivia. Enjoy!

    my favourite crazy frog lyric is 'dum dum dumda dum dum dum' - i think theres a lotta depth to this one
  • @sandrinjoy
    apple during WWDC: saying "AI" ❌❌, saying "Absolutely Incredible" ✅✅.
  • @rubenbest1
    The best waveform podcasts are when it goes off the rails.
  • For God's sake can we two separate mics for Adam and Ellis! Please and Thank you.
  • @roland.boyden
    Ellis: "I would argue if you're the CEO of a trillion dollar company you lose your joking privileges" is one of the greatest quotes I've ever heard on youtube. Great episode! So much thoughtful back and forth. Love it.

    It's Waveform then.. it's Saturday, Sunday, what 🙌🏾
  • @Negative_NBG
    I really appreciate Marques' ability to say "this sounds stupid" without actually saying it lol
  • @jedimmj11
    Where I live (Victoria, Australia) , you can only tap to pay for public transport with Android phones, not iPhone, because the government on principle refuses to give a cut of the fees to Apple
  • @stanleyomar
    From what I understand, the complaint regarding "super apps" is that Apple's practices hurt the potential development of new super apps in the US, not that App Store rules are preventing users from paying their phone bills in China via the WeChat app. In fact, I think all of the DoJ's points relate to Apple's practices stifling growth and innovation, not just that they want to protect their walled garden. In that sense, the emails may sound juicy, but the question is whether Apple's desire and efforts to keep its users, a common sense move by any company, is actually hindering potential advancements.
  • @tedzards509
    52:45 The lawsuit complains about Apple blocking new (US America based) Superapps from the Appstore, which some companies developing such apps showed. Wechat being on the Appstore is not contradictory to this. In my opinion its more of a symptom of how hard Apple is trying to secure the Chinese market.

    David got that Valley Girl voice when his pitch goes up at the end of his sentences 😂
  • @conzure
    the crazy frog bit near the end of this is an all time waveform highlight
  • @midnight_yota
    I know it makes for longer episodes and sometimes there’s time constraints and such but usually my favorite podcast episodes are the ones where they’re just unhinged and we get to hear peoples rabbit holes
  • @JoJoEdits
    “I got up to an A plus” had me rolling 🤣🤣
  • @FrikyMediaLP
    I think the segment of confusion about FSD and Autopilot is EXACTLY the reason they are now starting to promote it more ... people are just not aware / confused about what it can do and how good it currently can be!
  • @tonytesla2985
    Yes! A video explaining the wall garden would be killer! I would share that like crazy.
  • I love how Marqez favoured with apple's pov about taking some features away from other watches but when he heard from Andrew, he understood
  • @jayshukla7866
    About the NFC chip thing, I have no idea how that works in US, but here in India, we have multiple fintech Start ups competing against each other, which leads to a good rewards system. I did not know that I cannot use a NFC card thing on an iPhone, without using Apple Pay, because you actually want a specific app to use your card from so you get rewards that cater to your requirements.
  • @emgee531
    The Apple watch notification restriction is a Garmin choice. I just got an Amazfit (with an iPhone) that lets you choose which apps to allow them.
