In this episode of Geared Up, Andru Edwards and I discuss the FaceTime bug that allowed iPhone users to eavesdrop on the person they called, reports of a new gaming subscription service from Apple, the minimalist phone trend, signs of new iPads and a seventh-generation iPod touch, and a foldable phone from Samsung.
Plus, if you’re doing some last-minute TV shopping ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, Andru has some recommendations for you.
