Mike Rundle and I are proud to announce In Depth, a podcast on design and technology. You may know Mike from one of his many projects, including Treeo, Filters, his iPhone development books, or perhaps from his unflinchingly honest Twitter antics.

We're starting scrappy, and jumping right in, to cover the recent September iPhone X event. And there was lots to talk about. We discuss the new iPhone's screens, hardware, sensors, and also the software, like animoji, Face ID, and most significantly of all, everyone's favorite notch.
