MashTalk

For the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, Mashable's Tech Team embarked on an ambitious project: to imagine what the iPhone of 2020 would look like. The idea wasn't to just throw out a bunch of futuristic ideas, but to look at recent rumors surrounding the iPhone 8, Apple's history with the iPhone, and current mobile trends to create a realistic portrayal of what the iPhone will look like three years from now. What we ended up with something that — while clearly a step beyond the smartphones of today — is unmistakably an iPhone. But an iPhone with an edge-to-edge screen, no home button, a more AI-driven version of iOS, and no ports whatsoever. After revealing our vision for iPhone 2020, we invited a panel of experts to dissect it — to tell us what we got right and what we got wrong. On this week's MashTalk, iMore Managing Editor Serenity Caldwell, Loup Ventures Managing Partner Gene Munster, and USA Today Tech Columnist Ed Baig join Pete and Mashable staffers Raymond Wong, Lance Ulanoff, and Sam Sheffer in a spirited discussion about the future of the iPhone. What will the iPhone really look like in the future? Check out our vision of iPhone 2020, and feel free to tell us what you think of it at @mash_talk. Follow Pete on Twitter.

Uber has been been having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. Co-founder Travis Kalanick was forced to resign as CEO after pressure from investors over recent scandals. But does the exit of Kalanick -- who had been on leave from the company and will remain on the board -- signal a new direction for Uber? This week Pete is joined by a panel of Uber experts, including Farhad Manjoo from The New York Times,JP Mangalindan from Yahoo Finance, and Kerry Flynn from Mashable's business team to answer that very question. Also up for discussion: What kind of person should lead the company next? What about the internal petition to reinstate him? Will Kalanick's downfall change Silicon Valley startup culture at all? And, if you're an Uber user, what should your takeaway be from all this? Follow MashTalk on Twitter.

The Microsoft Surface line has grown a lot in the five years since its debut. It now encompasses the Surface Pro tablet, Surface Book convertible, Surface Studio all-in-one, Surface Hub digital "whiteboard," and the brand-new Surface Laptop. With Microsoft device lead Panos Panay in the studio, Pete and Lance find out the inside story on how Microsoft built its own high-end hardware empire, and finally get him to explain why they don't just bundle the Surface Pro with a frickin' keyboard already.
