It was a headlines in a hat week because there was just so much to talk about! First, we get into the new Galaxy XR headset from Samsung and Google before talking about why some iPhones 17 Pro are turning pink. We also talked about the new Liquid Glass beta, the ChatGPT Atlas browser, and the AWS outage before getting into trivia. Enjoy!
