\n\u2022 Mikah shares how the FTC is bringing Amazon to trial over allegations that the company misled users into signing up for Amazon Prime. However, Amazon has settled the matter for a cool $2.5 billion!
\n\u2022 And Liz Chamberlain, Director of Sustainability of iFixit, joins the show to discuss what has led to the iPhone 17 Pro showing more wear than the other models, the organization’s teardown of the iPhone Air, and how Apple’s TechWoven improves on some of the failures of the previous FineWoven material.<\/p>\n
