Engadget Podcast: The fallout from Apple's WWDC 2024 and Summer Game Fest

This week has felt like a month worth of news, now that we've wrapped up Apple's WWDC 2024 and Summer Game Fest in LA. In this episode, Cherlynn and Devindra discuss their final thoughts on Apple Intelligence and the company's upcoming software, and they chat about some of our coverage highlights from the pseudo-E3 Game Fest. Also, we dive into X making likes private (what is Elon hiding?!) and the news around Sony buying the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain. Listen below or subscribe on your podcast app of choice.

Summer Games Fest highlights: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, LEGO Horizon Adventures, and an Assassin's Creed finally set in Japan – 25:06 X makes users' likes private – 40:27 Devindra: We are back from Apple's WWDC, and we have thoughts. And I feel like, It's just one of those whirlwind things. Both Trillin and I got back in from California yesterday. After recording this, I still feel like my body doesn't know, like, where I'm in, Trillin, or what time zone. I don't know how you feel. Cherlynn: I went to the gym at 8 a. m. Devindra: I like how you fit in the humble brag there. We're also going to be talking about Summer Game Fest, folks. We weren't there for that and I was trying to get Jess Condit on, but she's super busy still writing up stuff from that. So we have got a lot of coverage around that and there's some stories I want to highlight that Engadget has done. Also some games that looks pretty cool. Also joining us this morning is podcast producer Ben Ellman, who I'm sure has thoughts on Apple and the game stuff.

It's just like about scheduling, but that's about the time you can carve out in your schedule for us. You could see us on video. Sometimes we'll demo gadgets and We'll just have a great Q and a session too. I do want to point out if you're just listening to this episode, we did do a bonus episode at Apple's campus and it actually turned out pretty well because for Lynn and I were like right outside the, was it the Mac cafe or cafe Mac? But we were outdoors surrounded by traffic and other noise, but it actually ended up sounding pretty good.
