Episode 60 - Microsoft’s 2023 Surface Event and iPhone 15 Pro Max Review

This week on Solid State, things are definitely a little more… laid back. You see, every so often, you just believe with all of your heart that a company is going to surprise you… that everything won’t be exactly the way the leaks, predictions, and outright guesses said they would… 

Other times though… well that’s just what happens and what-we-said-is-what-we-got!

With no more beating around the bush, Microsoft had an event to basically refresh some devices… we’d already seen… announce some services… we’d already used… and update us on their roadmap… while saying nothing at all. 

I don’t want to cast stones at Microsoft specifically, they’re hardly alone in the who’s who of major companies that just couldn’t pull the “big show” together… but on the heels of massive layoffs earlier in the year and the sudden departure of one of its best, brightest, and most renowned… things just might not be business-as-usual in Redmond these days. 

Now, that all hardly sounds like a good sales pitch for 45-or-so minutes of your listening attention, but don’t worry, it IS us after all! We dive deep on not just the “what” but the “WHY” with so much of Microsoft’s current moment. 

And, to sweeten things up, we round out the episode with our first hands-on time with none other than the iPhone 15 Pro Max…

So toggle that Action Button, because it’s time to go full yin-and-yang and talk Microsoft’s 2023 Surface Event AND Apple’s iPhone 15 debut…
