You know the quarantine procedures. 24 hours for decontamination.
Welcome to Primary Technology, the show about the tech news that matters. Special show this week, we're gonna talk about Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, all the new folds and flips. OpenAI actually had a breaking containment situation with one of their models. We'll get into that. Chinese models are getting really good. Apple might come out with a leasing type deal for their devices and a ton more. This episode is brought to you by Claude, NordLayer, and you, members who support us directly. I'm one of your hosts, Stephen Robles, joining us for the first time in a very special episode. Special guest, Lexy Savvides. How's it going, Lexy?

**Lexy Savvides** (0:34)
Hi, Stephen. I'm doing great. What an honor. Thank you for inviting me on the show. And I know we've been trying to do this for many, many moons, as they say. And I am so excited. I'm so excited to finally be here and make this happen. So I'm stoked.

**Stephen Robles** (0:48)
Awesome. Well, thanks so much for being here. I'm excited because you have the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 That's the name, right?

**Lexy Savvides** (0:54)
Yes. That is the name. I do have it right here.

**Stephen Robles** (0:58)
On the wrist. And you really do some great work with fitness trackers and watches. And so we'll get into that in a bit. And you have last year's Fold, is that right? You have that as well.

**Lexy Savvides** (1:08)
Yes. I've got that as well. Unfortunately, not the new one, but I don't know if even on camera, definitely not on audio podcast, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

**Stephen Robles** (1:17)
That's the thing. But I do want to get your take on just Folds in general, because it seems like this is going to pave the way for maybe the iPhone Fold this September. And how useful Folds are, I want to get your take on that. So we'll do it. A quick five-star review, shout-outs. Thank you for all those who did that. Dane Zero from the USA says we're the new Fave Podcast. Doesn't know anyone in Antarctica, and that's fine. Lexy, do you know or have you ever been to Antarctica by chance?

**Lexy Savvides** (1:42)
No, but I did have the opportunity once to do fly over flight of Antarctica. I wasn't able to actually go on it, but I was invited on it. Does that count? I could have seen it.

**Stephen Robles** (1:51)
That counts very much so.
That's all. That's way closer than I've been. We're on a quest to get our pin for Primary Technology, which is a medieval knight riding a polar bear. We're on a quest to get it on every continent, and Antarctica is the last one to conquer. I'll send you some pins just for fun, but if you ever go again, I might know someone going on a research trip there.

**Lexy Savvides** (2:14)
So maybe I could send it to Australia and then they could potentially take. I'm not sure if it's happening, but maybe we can try. We'll see how we go.

**Stephen Robles** (2:23)
I will send. Listen, I literally have bags of pins. I will send as many as it takes, so we'll send them a bunch. That would be awesome.
Okay, a couple others. Anthion from the USA loves the show, says Stephen is the optimist, Jason is the realist. That's our typical chemistry on this show. Orion, the Crucine from the USA, thank you for that. And Josh sent me an email, and I'm on the iOS 27 beta. Are you on the betas, by the way? Do you have iOS devices?

**Lexy Savvides** (2:48)
I do, I do. And I'm running it on the primary iPhone that I have. And I'm just, you know, normally I don't do that. And I wouldn't recommend that for most people. But this year I just thought, hey, I'll look, I'm just going to fly by the seat of my pants and do it and see what happens. And it's actually been fine, like really fine compared to iOS 26

**Stephen Robles** (3:10)
It was really fine. I was getting a ton of springboard crashes over the weekend after, for some reason, like beta 3 was fine. And then all of a sudden, it would just, I would swipe a couple of times. I had to reset my iPhone or restart it multiple times a day. But beta 4 came out this past Monday. It is great. And Josh pointed out, if you use Apple Mail, which I do, the Remind Me feature, which came out one or two years ago, you can set an email and say, remind me later. But it would not leave your inbox. It wasn't really an official snooze feature. But now it does. There is a setting. If you go to Settings, Apps, Mail, and you can say, move remind me messages to the remind me inbox, and it will leave your inbox until the time that you set to be reminded. So it's an official, legitimate snooze feature in Apple Mail.
