We are sponsored this week by Factor. So I'm sure you've probably heard of Factor before, and you've probably heard of other meal services where they send you a whole bunch of ingredients that you have to spend a whole bunch of time to put together and make a meal. That's not what Factor is. Factor is different.

So Factor, the way that works is they have chef-made gourmet meals that they send to your door. But what I mean by that is they arrive fresh, and here's the kicker, fast. Fully prepared. So you've got this entire meal ready to rock. All you got to do is throw it in the microwave for under five minutes and you've got a meal ready to go.

You've got 40 options across eight dietary preferences on the menu each week. So it's easy to pick meals tailored to your goals. You can choose from preferences like calorie smart, protein plus or keto. And you can do all that. And you can also add add-ons because they also offer smoothies, breakfast, grab-and-go snacks, and more as add-ons.

And so Factor was kind enough to send me a whole bunch of stuff. They sent me a whole bunch of meals that I've been eating over the last week. And I wanted to call out the stroganoff-style beef burger with Parmesan green beans and roasted mushrooms. Here's the interesting thing about this meal. It was all tasty. It really was. But the Parmesan green beans were just particularly delicious.

And in my personal opinion, if you can get a side item that's that tasty... you know that these people know what they're doing. So I really enjoyed it. They can't pay me to say that. I really did like it. So what can you do? You can eat smart with Factor.

All right, so earlier today as we record, Apple announced the final entry in the iPhone 16 family, the iPhone 16E, which was a name I did not expect. I suppose you don't read the rumors.

Apple today announced iPhone 16E, a new addition to the iPhone 16 lineup that offers powerful capabilities at a more affordable price, kind of. iPhone 16E delivers fast, smooth performance and breakthrough battery life thanks to the industry-leading efficiency of the A18 chip and the new Apple C1, the first cellular modem designed by Apple. That was from the newsroom post.

They did a, what was it, like a 10-ish minute intro video, which was great. Good. No particular complaints about it. So let's talk specs, I guess. So it's got an A18, as I just mentioned, with a four-core GPU. One core is disabled. That's not one of the four.

It has 8 gigs of RAM, as all phones seem to want to have these days, on account of Apple intelligence. This was, I guess, confirmed by Mac rumors via some Xcode spelunking. And then the C1. This is the most power-efficient modem ever in an iPhone, according to Apple, about a chip that Apple designed and built and put into Apple's iPhone. But here we are.

Yeah, I mean, I actually have been thinking about this, whether or not I would miss millimeter wave. And when it was rumored to be falling off of the iPhone 16 Pro before the 16 Pro was announced, I was pretty upset about it. But to be honest with you, I haven't been to my beloved picnic table in...
