Engadget Podcast: iPhone 16e review and Amazon's AI-powered Alexa+
The keyword for the iPhone 16e seems to be "compromise." In this episode, Devindra chats with Cherlynn about her iPhone 16e review and try to figure out who this phone is actually for. Also, they dive into Amazon's Alexa+ event, where we finally learned more about the company's AI-powered voice assistant. Alexa+ seems useful, but can we trust it?

Engadget Podcast: Volvo Group's CTO on his vision for zero-emission trucks
This week, Devindra chats with Volvo Group CTO Lars Stenqvist about the company's progress developing zero emissions trucks, both of the electric variety and experimental hydrogen options. While it's a completely different company from Volvo Cars, Volvo Group still impacts consumers as one of the largest producers of heavy trucks. Stenqvist dives into how Volvo is thinking about new technology, and we chat a bit about how it's approaching completely autonomous vehicles. (Note: This interview was recorded in early January, so we didn't have a chance to talk about this week's partnership between Volvo and the self-driving truck startup Waabi.)
