Abrar Al-Heeti is joining Mikah Sargent this week! Abrar is excited about one of the new features Apple announced for iOS 26 that could be important for a rumored device next. Would you be willing to be matched with others based on your search history? Some of the new things discovered in the teardown of the Nintendo Switch 2. And Meta is in hot water again over AI chatbots posing as licensed therapists.

Abrar talks about the new Adaptive Power feature Apple unveiled at WWDC this past week and how this new feature could be necessary for the rumored iPhone 17 Air that Apple could release sometime next year.
Mikah shares about a new experimental platform called Browser Dating that matches users based on their previous internet search history.
Liz Chamberlain of iFixit joins the show to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2's teardown, the updated Joy-Con controllers, and how aspects of the console are much harder to repair than their predecessor.
And 404 Media's Sam Cole stops by to discuss Meta's AI Studio chatbots, which are posing as real therapists with fake licenses and credentials.

Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Abrar Al-Heeti
