Apple event preview, social media hearings, and monopoly week
This week on The Vergecast, Nilay, Paul, Russell, and Dieter dedicate half the show to The Verge’s monopoly week, which dives into the future of tech monopolies. They also discuss the social media hearings that happened on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
In the second half of the show, the crew updates us on what to expect for next week’s Apple event, from the mysterious third phone to the updated AirPods rumors.
There’s a whole lot in between that — like a whole section dedicated to Roombas — so listen to it all, and you’ll get it all.
01:33 - Trump says Amazon, Facebook, and Google represent a ‘very antitrust situation’
08:08 - The 7 biggest moments from Wednesday’s social media hearings
26:13 - This week in Elon Musk with Sean O’Kane
