This episode pulls back the curtain on the shocking breakup of Genius Bar, the podcast co-hosted by Sam Kohl and Jon Prosser. Sam joins Andru Edwards, host of Geared Up, to share for the first time what really happened behind the scenes. The honest, sometimes painful conversations and revelations that led to the end of his creative partnership and friendship with Jon Prosser. The discussion exposes how financial tension, personal disappointment, and broken trust can change everything, even after years of success together.

Then we dive straight into the drama swirling around Jon Prosser, as Apple files a lawsuit that has set the tech world buzzing. Sam and Andru unpack the legal allegations against Prosser, the mystery of the anonymous email tip, and what it’s like to find your name and former co-host splashed across headlines for all the wrong reasons. It’s a rare look at how quickly trust can unravel when big money and bigger risks collide in the YouTube ecosystem.

Then we take a deep dive into the next wave of iPhone rumors, with speculation and hot takes on the iPhone 17 lineup. Sam and Andru debate the real-world appeal of a super-thin iPhone 17 Air, two-tone design leaks of the 17 Pro, new camera systems, and even the possibility of reverse wireless charging.

The conversation shifts to Apple’s latest betas, including all the buzz around iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe updates - especially the new Liquid Glass interface. Hear first-hand impressions on how Liquid Glass has split the community, what’s actually better (and worse) about the new features, and why these subtle design changes are sparking heated debates among creators, power users, and everyday fans. From accessibility concerns to the future of Apple UI, nothing is off the table in this deep-dive on the software that shapes our devices.

Next, things get personal and surprisingly relatable as we trade stories about the realities of owning Teslas in 2025. From the headache of parking a Cybertruck in LA to the rush of chasing tax credits and timing new model releases, they unpack the true cost (and joy) of electric vehicles. The conversation gets into Tesla’s shifting lineup, what it’s really like to sell an EV in today’s market, and why even loyal Tesla fans are eyeing competitors like Rivian. The two also zoom out to speculate on where EV tech is heading, including bold predictions on humanoid robots and how AI could change our daily lives next.

This episode is a candid, wide-ranging look at what happens when friendship, business, technology, and ambition collide. If you want an inside view on the pressures of creating in public, the risks and rewards of the creator economy, and what it really takes to walk away from something you built, this is the conversation you can’t miss.

Jon's Controversial YouTube Move

This episode features special guest Michael Fisher (Mr. Mobile) and explores why foldable smartphones remain a niche, with less than 2 percent of buyers ever having used one. Major barriers include Android exclusivity, iPhone user lock-in, limited mainstream interest, and high prices. Apple’s reputation for turning obscure categories mainstream raises the question of whether a future iPhone Fold would legitimize the segment or simply reveal how little consumer appetite there really is for foldables.

Hosts:  @Andru  &  @jon4lakers  
Guest:  @TheMrMobile 

Apple’s arrival in any product category can rapidly shift consumer perception, lending instant credibility to what was once seen as a novelty. Despite six-plus years and multiple iterations from Samsung and others, foldables have struggled to gain widespread traction, even as innovation continues. Real-world statistics show that adoption is slow and interest is still tightly linked to brand loyalty and ecosystem lock-in, rather than just hardware features.

Hands-on experience with Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 highlights key improvements in ergonomics, camera systems, outer screen usability, and battery life. However, fast charging remains a notable weakness compared to competitors. Other technical debates include the ongoing value of S-Pen support, the importance of thinness versus durability, and how Chinese brands are advancing the market, though often at the cost of software polish or US market compatibility.

A major segment covers Apple’s lawsuit against Jon Prosser over leaked iOS 26 details and device trade secrets. The panel discusses the legal and ethical lines between tech journalism, leaks, and trade secret theft, contrasting the current case with past experiences and lawsuits in the industry. Topics include privacy expectations for employees, Apple’s approach to leaks, and the impact such lawsuits have on creators, reporters, and the broader tech community.

Apple’s AI ambitions hit a major speed bump at WWDC this year. From last-minute delays on Siri features to Mark Gurman’s revelations about internal alarm bells, this episode takes you behind the scenes of Apple’s AI crisis. We’ll break down how Craig Federighi’s hands-on testing exposed critical flaws and why Apple’s lean investment strategy may have backfired. 

The conversation reveals how internal decisions, such as delaying AI feature rollouts by a full year, signaled a broader leadership disconnect within the company. Federighi’s own tests showed a startling disparity between what was promised and what was actually working. That gap in execution has placed Apple behind rivals like Google and OpenAI.

What role does Tim Cook play in this? As the CEO, his direction - or lack thereof - has now come under scrutiny. The podcast unpacks how executive decisions from the top have rippled across departments, affecting everything from product timelines to public trust. Apple's frugal approach, while often seen as financially prudent, may have hindered critical innovation.

We also dive into what Apple’s AI roadmap must look like to stay competitive. From launching a working Siri upgrade to developing a true chatbot under the internal codename "Knowledge," Apple needs a foundational reboot in how it views and builds AI experiences. Failure to act swiftly could result in a loss of consumer and developer confidence.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, Apple watcher, or concerned investor, this episode sheds light on the high-stakes decisions shaping Apple’s future in AI. With clear takeaways and expert insights, it’s your best guide to understanding how Apple can, and must, course-correct.
