Gather back around! Again! The big trucks have dropped off boxes with a bunch of apples in them. It\\u2019s ripe season for those new iPhones and Apple Watches -- and we\\u2019re about to take our first bite.

But before dessert, we\\u2019ve got dinner. A smorgasbord: Amazon\\u2019s new Echo speakers and\\u2026 an Alexa-powered microwave. A OnePlus television set. A bixby key that will never NOT work. And the Galaxy Note 9 that has that key\\u2026 and a problem with temperature. Oh. A Note up in smoke... Here we go again... it\'s the Pocketnow Weekly!

Watch the YouTube video recorded at 2:00pm Eastern on September 21st or check out the high-quality audio version right here or through Apple, Google, our RSS and wherever you get your podcasts. Talk back live while you\\u2019re watching the show on Twitter with #PNWeekly and shoot feedback to the hosts at podcast@pocketnow.com!
