Hey folks, back with another episode of the Tech Informist and are glad to have you along for the ride.

This week Kevin & Brad open the show talking about the upcoming Chevrolet Bolt electric car that looks to be a great option for people who are not fans of the looks of the Toyota Prius or other electric & hybrid cars you see on the road currently.

The Bolt not only looks nice, but also can get you approximately 238 miles on a single charge. Not bad General Motors, not bad at all.

Also, Kevin's iPhone 7 Plus is on a UPS truck somewhere yet to be delivered at the time of recording. But fear not, he will share all his thoughts on it on the next episode.

 

Other topics discussed include:

• Only about 130,000 Galaxy Note 7 devices have been returned in the US so far
  • Recall is official by the way

• Microsoft rebrands the Microsoft Health app to be called the Microsoft Band app
  • Even though there are rumblings there may be no Band 3

• Looks like a new Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the Xiaomi Mi 5S

• iOS upgrade issues (happens EVERY year, stop being surprised)
  • T-Mobile warns users to wait
  • But it's OK now

• Nice camera comparison between the iPhone 7 Plus and original iPhone
