SyrupCast Podcast Ep. 136: AR wars and the battle of the phablets

ARKit

This week on the SyrupCast, Igor Bonifacic, Rose Behar, Ted Kritsonis, and Patrick O’Rourke dig into the pending rivalry between Google and Apple’s AR offerings.

WWDC this year brought us ARKit from Apple, but there is now another option for developers — ARCore from Google. As the consumer version of iOS 11 is hitting phones in a few weeks, this arms race is bound to continue heating up.

With the Samsung Note series back in action and the LG V30 recently revealed, the SyrupCast is comparing and contrasting flagship phones. Ted and Patrick were both at the release events and give their thoughts on what both phones have to offer.

Tune in to hear the SyrupCast team’s thoughts.
