Sometimes our work gets in the way of other work and that's what happened last week with the Android Police podcast. But we promise this week will be a heckuva one with Apple bashing, Android smashing, and some ass kicking. Get out of our way. Or get in it. In your ears.

02:38 | Apple cores

• The Apple Watch Ultra is the rugged fitness watch Samsung should have made
• As Android wants to get rid of hole-punch cameras, Apple doubles down with Dynamic Island
• Google apps want in on iOS 16's lock screen widgets and we're not at all jealous or anything

17:54 | Google up

• Google could make the 256GB Pixel 7 more widely available than Pixel 6
• Google's next budget Chromecast shouldn't be prohibitively priced, after all
• These wild new Emoji Kitchen thumbs-up combos are pure nightmare fuel

31:25 | Google down

• Google cuts funding to Area 120, kills half of its projects prematurely
• Google is reportedly finished making Pixelbooks
• Google’s record Android EU fine won't be overturned, confirms court

41:39 | Why can't you two just get along?

• Tim Cook would rather sell you an iPhone than bring RCS to iMessage
• The sooner Android accepts RCS is dead, the sooner we can choose the next messaging platform that matters
• The iPhone 14 still can't perform a very simple task
