While Marques is on the other side of the world competing in the World Ultimate Championships, Andrew and David talk about the latest iPhone rumors and discuss what they’re expecting from the September iPhone event. Or at least, that’s how this episode starts before we surprise Andrew by bringing back David Pierce for an update on how Andrew’s productivity app journey has been going! After that, it’s gadget time and we talk about the new Garmin Fenix 8 and a pair of truly open-back headphones before we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

It's the weekend finally in the UK, guys. We start it, of course, with the Waveform podcast. Let's go!!
Need a Capacities update from David P since the pod is live now!
Friday releaes is the best
I love David’s shirt.
The way I compartmentalise and decide whether something is a Note, Reminder or Calendar entry is: Notes and Reminders I primarily use for tasks/items that only involve and impact me i.e. no other people/third-parties are involved directly in the thing I'm capturing. Calendar entries I use when I have something that involves or directly impacts other people/third-parties. Apples suite of productivity apps is great because it also allows you to drag and drop notes and email into reminders and vice versa, so everything can talk to each other (and links back to the source via a clickable icon), if you and when you need them to. Its definitely a perk of being in the Apple ecosystem,
Isn't the Google Tasks/Keep distinction the same as Apple Reminders/Notes?
at first I didn’t get how come my usual Friday tech podcast rundown got mixed into one video 😜
literally the Vergecast is usually next on the list (sorry Nilay yeah I watch Waveform first and I also can’t sponsor the lightning round)
I got the Fenix 8. It's awesome. The large orange piece protects the mic.
Why can't I like this more than once
No timestamps?
Thanks! Made me feel better about not finishing all my reminders daily lol
Is David okay he looks so stressed today
arsenal rep shoutout!
You cannot demand laughs. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Haha, I love how Fridays are for chillin' with the Waveform crew! 🎉 And those productivity app updates got me thinking… maybe I should give mine a good spring cleaning too! Can't wait for the iPhone event, I'm always here for the hype! 📱✨
yooo again 60 hz display in non pro model.
no reason to for me to upgrade from iphone xs .
my iphone xs from 6 year ago still almost as same as iphone 16 now 😅😅😅
36:43 Google Keep task integration should be implemented before the end of the year
i use apple notes👍
I started using Google Tasks the day after the last productivity episode and use it every day, same set up as Andrew on my pixel, calendar and task widgets, honestly changed my life and love it.
David wishes he sounds like Marques lol
I'm 100% David. I just remember and I don't use a lot of apps because I'm afraid I will start to forget things.
I feel like the iCloud suite is being slept on for productivity. I just recently moved from the gsuite to iCloud and haven’t looked back.
My problem is not remembering to do stuff, it's wanting to do it.
Is there an app that will make me want to do the dishes?
@mkbhd will you be able to use Apple intelligence as an assistant and task manager?
If it can’t, what would be possible to achieve this ? maybe creating one note titled personal and Apple Intelligence could log my questions there or my reminders on my task whatever it is to help me prioritize or assist?
Am I making any sense?
David always makes the joke, but I don’t really feel like they sound the same. David talks faster.
hoping for another full episode of Marques nerding out about productivity apps 😆
The iPhone haven’t changed since the 12 😢
I love the episode guys!
Love to last season's jersey and Alex, thanks for making us proud Alex

No Marques for the productivity sequel‽‽‽‽
I’VE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THIS EPISODE
By now Andrew’s realized the Alarm app is actually better than Google Tasks 😅
I hate so much that the assistant and tasks don't use location based reminders for people that have flexible days. It makes productivity so much harder
The jetlag Marques will have on that Monday!! He will be living the day twice, right? Flying back in time to have the same day 😮
