This week, we talk about some of the new technology that’s recently been released in the latest version of one of the most popular mobile phones available, some software that’s been scanning most people’s mobile media for years now, and some mobile phone alternatives people can look into if they’re opting for privacy above all else. As always, we encourage our listeners to do their own research and make their own decisions.
