Hello and welcome back to another episode of App Stories.

Today's episode is brought to you by Claude from Anthropic.

I'm John Voorhees and with me is Federico Vittici. Hi, Federico.

Hello, John. Hello. How are you? Good, good. The thunderstorms have just finished here,

so we're recording at the right time of day. It was really kind of wild here in the morning,

but it's quieted down. Okay. It's a nice day here. Nice. Yeah, yeah. Did you want to talk about very quickly the AirPods Max 2?

I do.

I do.

We're going to talk about folding phones today.

But I, you know, as we record this, we're recording quite early in the week.

Apple surprisingly announced the AirPods Max 2, which I would say the main feature here is the H2 chip and the fact

that what that enables is basically all the features that the AirPods Pro have gotten over the last

whatever couple of years or so. You know, you've got improved, improved spatial audio.

You've got, you've got all kinds of things like shaking your head for say no to Syria or not in your head.

You've got better ANC.

There's a bunch of different, oh, there's live translation.

There's a laundry list of features that have been added

to these things, which I think is great because those are all, those are all features that the

AirPods Pro were able to do and the AirPods Max didn't. I mean, I think, I'm not sure the AirPods

Macs, people necessarily buy them for a lot of those features. They do for the sound quality.

So having all of the various audio features that Apple has added over the years,

added to these most expensive ones that they sell is a good thing.
