Gobble gobble yaaa’aall! Ever wonder what a Thanksgiving meal with Tim Cook might be like? Ok, maybe not, but come imagine it with us anyway. Then: why Apple quietly included 4K support in iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2; and Amazon is building an ad-supported Netflix streaming competitor.
Plus stayed tuned for the CultCast gift guide! We’ll talk about the products we’d love to get as gifts this year.
Thanks to Fracture for supporting this episode! Fracture is pretty neat. They print your photos directly onto glass so they really pop. And they come ready to hang on a wall or sit on your desk. They’re great gifts too for your family or significant other.
Check them out at Fracture.me and save 15% off any order with code CultCast.
We also want to give Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com a huge thanks for all the great music you hear in today's show.

This week: more rumored details of the 12-inch "iPad Pro”; 755 more Emojis coming soon to your iDevices; with Christian Bale out, we make our list of the actors that definitely *shouldn’t* replace him in the Sorkin-penned Jobs movie; and finally… nude or not? Do you keep your iDevices bare or covered up in a case? We ponder the pros and cons and ask the question: why are so many iPhone and iPad cases horrid pieces of garbage? We’ll pitch some of our faves, too.
