A LOT of news this week. The FDA is allowing OTC sales of hearing aids! HBO Max is losing a TON of content. Snap is giving up on drones. Apple is still SUPER anti-environment.
There’s a HUGE new exploit for Apple products that might have been used in the wild.
And we should chat a bit about performance testing new phones!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
