We watch the iPhone event every year and spend a considerable amount of time discussing it the next day, so we thought this time, we'd bring you along on a bonus episode of Two cents on Thursday. We hope you enjoy!
And if you haven't watched the event, we highly recommend it and we have 3 options based on the time you have on your hands
