In today's episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun uncover the mystery behind the Hable One's secret evolution into the Hable Easy—a smartphone navigation device that’s been flying under the radar for a year. They share real-world use cases, highlight its accessibility benefits, and question why no one—including them—knew about this sooner.

The hosts also dive deep into Apple's current AI ambitions and ask the hard question: Is Apple too late to the AI race? With mounting rumors of internal chaos and a Siri rebuild, Steven doesn’t hold back on his frustrations.

Other hot topics include:

The confusing cable requirements for AirPods Max's new “lossless” upgrade
Amazon’s Lady A Plus and which devices will (or won’t) support it
Quebec’s tough new language law that's paused OtterBox shipments
Rivo 2 keyboard struggles

Stay tuned for Steven’s candid take on Apple's AI mess, new accessibility gear, and why the team’s AirPods Max might be dog-approved… literally.
