Pickle is dead, the Nothing Phone 4b is real, and Meta is using your Instagram photos to train image generation without asking first. This Waveform episode with Marques Brownlee, Andrew Manganelli, and David Imel covers a dense stretch of consumer tech news across hardware, software, and platform policy.
The Nothing Phone 4b and Ear 3a get extended hands-on discussion, with the MKBHD review linked directly. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 and a Made by Google Pixel 11 event have both been announced, and the crew breaks down what to expect. Twitter has a new video editing tool, Meta dropped a new image model called Muse, and David spends 15 minutes on a rant about App Intents in iOS that is either going to make you angry or make you finally understand why cross-app functionality on Apple devices is still broken.
The App Intents segment alone is worth the full listen if you build, use, or cover iOS software. The Pickle refund discussion and Joanna Stern's Meta glasses reporting add context you will not get from a headline. Episode runs 1 hour 17 minutes.
