21: Hashtag embrace the notch

We managed to overcome personal family health issues, and Jewish holidays to record this episode, in which Greg reveals his Apple purchases which bring him one step closer to his Tim Cook badge.

Also, we discuss Apple's silicon power with the A11 Bionic, The iPhone X's notch iconic meaning, the iPhone 8/Plus reviews and who are those devices for, and we finish off with Google acqui-hiring HTC's 2000 engineers.
