“What did one device say to the other?”/“Are you syncing what I’m syncing?”

A tech joke is:

Q: What did the iPad say to the iPhone?
A: “Are you syncing what I’m syncing?”

The pun on “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” was cited on Twitter on January 28, 2010.

Wikipedia: Sync
Sync and synch are abbreviations of synchronization, the coordination of events to keep them in time.
(...)
Computing and information technology
. Sync (Unix), a command and a system call for Unix-like operating systems
. Synchronization (computer science), relates to similar principles of synchronization of processes or data
