Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into a week of tech talk, laughter, and some surprising new purchases. From cooking adventures to hands-on impressions of the iPhone Air, Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2, and the hunt for AirPods Pro 3, this episode explores accessibility, battery life, and whether the latest gadgets are really worth the upgrade.

Expanded Summary
It’s been a busy and entertaining week for the Double Tap crew. Kicking off with a cooking session inspired by accessible kitchen tips, Shaun shares his triumph (and shortcuts) in making a chicken casserole on a tricky gas hob. Steven reflects on how fear and excuses can hold back blind cooks, while laughing at Shaun’s culinary bravery.

The conversation shifts to tech as Steven breaks down his experience with the new iPhone Air. He covers design, weight, battery performance, camera myths, and whether voiceover users truly need the Pro models. The duo examine audio quirks, speaker quality, and the reality of day-to-day functionality for blind users.

Later, Steven reveals his latest splurges: Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses and the elusive AirPods Pro 3. They discuss audio quality, battery life, camera performance with Be My Eyes, and whether upgrading from Gen 1 is worth it. With humour, honesty, and hands-on insights, this episode blends practical advice with gadget geekery.
