What The Click Podcast

We finally got our hands on Apple’s first-ever foldable, the mind-blowing iPhone Duo packing a 7.58-inch folding display and 2nm A20 Pro silicon - but does any phone truly justify an eye-watering RM9,499 starting price? Meanwhile, Nothing’s sub-brand CMF drops the quirky milk-carton Speaker S and M, bringing Bluetooth 6.0 Auracast, USB-C lossless audio, and full IP68 submersible waterproofing for just £59 (~RM259)! Plus, we dive into the absolute chaos of Malaysia banning Waze for civil servants in favor of TuJu, the highway directory app that immediately crashed into a national meme.
