AppleInsider podcast discusses Jony Ive, the latest from Oculus, and the idea of a foldable iPhone

In our latest episode, AppleInsider editors Neil Hughes and Victor Marks discuss:

• Oculus announces price changes and new head-mounted displays. This is the sort of thing that's necessary on the path to success for AR HMDs, but is it enough? Neil and Victor have thoughts.
• So does Tim Cook, who says that the technology isn't ready for an Apple AR HMD.
• Neil talks about what he learned from Jony Ive
• IKEA continues to let us down on HomeKit updates for the Tradfri lightbulbs
• Apple is finally getting the data center in Athenry, Ireland out of planning stages. Hold-ups have been people accusing them of not having plans for greenhouse gas amelioration and power grid demand planning. This is a little silly, in that every data center built so far has been carbon-neutral and grid independent.
• Apple applies for a patent on foldable displays, appears to be collaborating with LG
• Disney's Movies Anywhere service launches with 5 studios and support for Amazon, Google, iTunes, and VUDU.
• Surveys of 6,100 teenagers indicates that the majority have iOS devices and more want them. Neil questions the utility of these studies and provides one he thinks is more interesting.
• iPhone X took two years to develop.
• We talk about the Beats3 Wireless review briefly. Short summary: Apple's W1 chip is a good thing.
