Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. I am your host, Wesley Hilliard, and I'm joined once again by William Gallagher.

This week, our sponsors are Insta 360 and Square. If you subscribe to Apple Insider Plus, you're not going to be hearing about that.

Today we're going to be discussing, well, some Apple stuff.

We'll talk a little bit more about Apple Insider Plus later, I think.

But don't worry, we got some good topics picked out for this week.

But first, we have so much to get into.

It is Apple Christmas.

All of the goodies have been delivered by Tim Cook to our doorsteps. And I think

William got nothing, but that's only because he's had such a bad mean year, writing so

many mean things about Apple. How could you... No.

But, of course, William didn't order anything this year.

But, yeah, we're going to discuss some of these first impressions.

We're going to talk about the devices, how they've been getting on, and how the world's reacting to them.

So, William, how are things over there?

Is the fear of missing out creeping in?

It actually was, would you believe? Last weekend, I went to an Apple store and on the way,

I was pretty sure I was going to buy an iPhone air. And then I didn't. Can we just stop there

for a moment, make that ominous sounding like something?

Actually, I set off alarms in the Apple store, would you believe?

So there was drama and excitement, but that's not what I didn't think.

You're the one scratching all the iPhones in the Apple store.

Okay, harsh.
