I see. I think this is a distinction without a difference, but I'll let it slide.

AirPods 4 listening time. Also, breaking news, we're being told in the chat that the embargo has dropped on AirPods 4, perhaps AirPods Pro. No, I think it's AirPods 4. We haven't obviously had the chance to read any of them. But with regard to listening time.

Fair question. Reference acknowledged. I think it might be both. But in any case, we have some listening time updates. This is from the AirPods 4 specs page, which we will link in the show notes. You get up to five hours of listening time on a single charge or four hours of listening time on a single charge with ANC enabled on these AirPods.

This is in comparison to AirPods 3, which gets six hours of listening time with a single charge and five hours with personalized spatial audio enabled. So it's a decrease of one hour. It's not a direct apples to apples comparison, but effectively a decrease of one hour in each department.

All right. Steve Stutz writes in with regard to the 16 versus 16 Pro. Steve writes, could you go in a little more detail about why none of you would get the non-Pro iPhone 16, even though all of you seem very impressed with it? What is it lacking that makes it a no-go? For me, this is one very simple answer. 5X. I want that deep, deep zoom.

I will do what it takes, as you see from this year, or in the year of iPhones that's now ending. I got the big phone because I really wanted that 5X. And that was all it was for me. That being said, those colors are so... I know we talked about this. The colors are so good on the non-pros that it really made me think. And as we talked about last week, they really are so good.

But I desperately want that 5X. Even though I know it's not the best fidelity in the world... having the ability to have some pretty strong and deep reach with my phone optical reach, that is worth the price of admission for me in every sense of the word. Marco, what was your excuse on this one?

Apple's new phones are going to charge faster, which is exciting. So I believe this is a report from Verge, but the entire iPhone 16 lineup can now charge at up to 45 watts, which is up from 29 watts. The 45 watt max of the iPhone 16 easily bests the Google Pixel 9's 27 watts or 37 watts for the Pixel 9 Pro XL. and is on par with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

But these all fall significantly short of the 240 watt, my word, plus fast charging capabilities of some Chinese phones. But still, that's pretty cool. I don't fast charge my phone often, but hoo boy, when you need to top up in a hurry with quickness, it is so genuinely convenient to have that as an option. And I'm really glad to hear that
