iPhone Fold visualized, HomeKit Adaptive Temperature, MacBook Neo shortages

Benjamin and Chance analyze the form factor of the iPhone Fold with dummy units start surfacing, and investigate why so many of Apple’s Macs are severely backordered right now. Also, NASA takes the iPhone into space, Aqara launches the first thermostat with support for HomeKit’s new Adaptive Temperature feature, and Chance is mad at the MLB app.
