Jason Is Cool GOTO 10
We're trying to puzzle through some strange rumors about next week's iPad launch event. Also, the EU brings the iPad into the DMA party, Apple locks the Apple IDs of many people (including Myke!), and we shout out the OG Knowledge Navigator.

Save the Fines
The world's foremost e-reader podcast returns, but we also take time to talk about the appeal of retro game emulators, iPad and iPhone rumors, and the possible end of Apple's leather replacement material.

You’re Judging It Wrong
Skepticism about the future of the Vision Pro and brutal reviews of the Humane Ai Pin make us discuss misguided expectations and the power of the smartphone duopoly. We also attempt to decode reports of new M4 Mac chips.

Differently Social
Casey Liss joins Myke to discuss Apple's new Spatial Personas for visionOS, and their thoughts on an immersive experience from... Gucci? Also, emulators are coming to the App Store, and Myke wants to check Casey's vibe.

Legacy When? Legacy Now?
We often cite anonymous reports about Apple's future, but where do those reports come from? We discuss of the value and ethics of Apple rumor coverage. Also, we've seen the latest Vision Pro immersive video and have strong opinions.

Customer Reviews
My favourite podcast
I look forward to this every week. I even pay to be a member so I can hear more.
A truly GREAT tech show, by two hosts consistently at the top of their game
Jason and Myke produce truly great work across many shows and crisp wordiage, and have done so consistently with Upgrade since 2014 - which is incredible tbh.
Really considered perspectives, from decades deep in media, tech and culture, and presented carefully, clearly AND personably, with appeal for newbies and experienced techies alike.
Upgrade and Sixcolors memberships are a bargain for the quality, and they deliver great extra value, and it feels good to $support their brilliant independent work in a small way.
Myke, if you’re reading this, thanks both for all your amazing work continuing. Jason, you said you don’t read them so he can tell you!
Fantastic and thoughtful tech show
Upgrade is the best combination of informed, insightful views on Apple and the tech industry with a dose of wit and silliness (especially in summer). Myke and Jason are thoughtful, considered and measured people who I love to listen to every week. Two fantastic human beings making a fantastically entertaining show!
