    Samsung’s S25 Ultra and the end of the flagship phone

    After almost exactly 18 years, you could make the argument that the tech industry has finally finished what the iPhone started. It’s not that there’s no innovation left in phones, or that there aren’t other big ideas to be had about the devices we carry around, but the specific thing the first iPhone was — a candy bar-shaped slab of glass in your pocket — might have reached its final form. Maybe there’s another reason that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup looks so familiar, and why it appears this year’s other flagship devices will too. But maybe it’s just that there’s not much left to do here.

    We also discuss the phones left to launch this year, and whether this might finally be the year a new phone shape — flipping, or folding, or maybe tri-folding? — hits the big time. We have some theories, and a lot of hope, but are mostly planning for another year of the same old candy bars.

    After that, we talk about China. Cooper Quintin, a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, joins the show to talk about all the privacy and security questions surrounding TikTok, RedNote, DeepSeek, and the other apps connected to China that are hitting it big in the US. Quintin explains how to think about those apps compared to what Meta and Google are doing, explains how to think about your own threat model, and makes the case that what we really need is a federal privacy law.
