#SGGQA 223: No iPhone 14 Rumors! No Galaxy S22 Leaks! But I Pre-ordered a Surface Duo 2!

2 hours 35 minutes

Facebook is pausing their Instagram kids app. Democrats are pressing President Biden to make Jessica Rosenworcel the permanent head of the FCC. Apple’s privacy features on the iPhone might just be placebos.

Let’s get our tech week started right!
