The week we opted for some shore leave was a good one to skip, but now we're up to our astro-jockeys in hot new releases, cadets -- and Cap'n Mike didn't make the return shuttlecraft in time, meaning we brought back The Admiral to fill in! Charles and William check out the press on the new iPhones 11, get the lowdown on watchOS 6 and iOS 13, lampoon some silly lawsuits, mark the departures of Bob Iger and Steve Dowling from the mothership, and keep an eye on the evolving Apple Card, along with the first of its ... accessories?!

In an Apple-heavy week, there was also some non-Apple news in the form of NBC's new streaming service, but Apple pounced back into the news with a scandal about the weight of titanium, an Emmy win for the most unlikely of things, and a quietly-announced mindblower of renewable AppleCare+, the arrival of Apple Arcade on the iPhone, Mexico's first flagship Apple Store, and as the subject of a particularly dumb bit of pundit hyperbole. Tune in for the classiest cheap laffs and tech talk on the astro-waves, cadets -- we promise it hasn't been a "slowfie" news week!
