Megan Morrone is a technology podcaster, and a writer, she is a co-host of TWiT online programs Tech News Weekly, iOS Today, and Triangulation.
Megan Morrone joins us today. Megan is the host of iOS Today with Leo LaPorte and host of Tech News Today with Jason Howell on the TWiT network. She's got the new, shiny iPhone 8 Plus so I asked her on to tell us what she thinks about it. Megan talks about how the glass back feels, the fun she's been having with Portrait lighting and how she hasn't even tried the 4K 60fps video yet. She give us a tip for wireless charging - the Seneo Qi Wireless Charging Stand. iMore has a link to a code to get it down to only $13.
Megan talks about her identical twin sons and their plans to mess with Leo's iPhone X when he gets it. She talks about the significant speed bump she noticed with the new A11 bionic chip. Megan brought an interesting perspective to the iPhone price points; talking about how you can get a good iPhone for only $350 (the SE) and a good iPad for only $329.

This week's Chit Chat Across the Pond was so much fun. Megan Morrone and Jason Howell co-host Tech News Today on the TWiT network together. Megan co-hosts iOS Today while Jason co-hosts All About Android. For an entire month, Megan and Jason swapped phones. They're here to tell us what they liked, what they didn't like and answer tough questions like, "Did your children mock you?" I know I say this often, but this truly was one of the most enjoyable episodes of Chit Chat Across the Pond. They're both so entertaining and delightful and we even had some great technical conversations too.
