    If only the Samsung S25 Ultra were an iPhone! Ep. 79

    The boys are back together on their own this week. The conversation flowed seamlessly between product, business and upcoming events.   Starting with Galaxy S25 chat, Alex gave his view on the S25+ and the value it offers, and the boys discussed base model devices and how they are an excellent value choice for those who just want a dependable smartphone without the bells and whistles.   David was keen to discuss Daniel's video about the S25 Ultra and what would be the reaction if it were made by Apple instead. It's an interesting conversation because the narrative around the S25 Ultra hasn't been positive, especially by some of the bigger creators like MKBHD and publications like The Verge.   Business chat quickly took over, Alex talked about dealing with a sponsorship manager, and being organised and planned with content, David has updated his workflow to include a project management system to get on top of his sponsorship commitments, and Daniel spoke about how he intends to stay as a solo creator for now.   All that and more on this week’s Minus Sixteen!   Get in touch: david@talkingtechandaudio.com   #apple #samsung #samsunggalaxy #samsungmobile #iphone17 #samsungspen   David's latest video: https://youtu.be/mi_oJwSqsIw Alex's latest video: https://youtu.be/dnyWLMi0c2w?si=Vmohcyh33MY5Rwgu Daniel's latest video: https://youtu.be/Ee63sUtzSOI?si=dN7o-FI2--mDSE8H Kyle's latest video: https://youtu.be/Ee63sUtzSOI?si=dN7o-FI2--mDSE8H   00:00 Intro 02:45 Thoughts on  Samsung S25 Plus 08:16 Modem talk 09:05 Alex and his iPhone issues 13:10 If this were Apple…  18:22 The Verge and their Apple vs. Samsung views 22:36 If the S25 were and iPhone… 26:02 iOS Apps coming to Android…why? 29:30 MKBHD - has he lost his way? 32:38 Singing to Apple’s song 36:53 Productivity & quality standards 51:05 Bringing onboard an editor & staff 56:55 Auto Dubbing in YouTube Studio

    Keeping Apple Fanboys Happy! The M4 Mac mini going Android Free & One UI 7 Beta | Ep. 75

    The boys are joined by Patrick Rambles this week and kick off their chat to see if Daniel is any closer to switching to a Mac. Patrick, Alex & David all over Mac Mini insights to try and help the decision as they also compare the base model Mac Mini's to fully specced machines.   Alex updated us on how the No Android November challenge went and talked through the pain of switching ecosystems constantly, and diverted the chat to how he wants to use this as a showcase for future sponsor integrations.   Patrick also revealed his strategy of moving away from dedicated videos and trying and focus on core content for his channel as the focus of the pod switched to its usual look at YouTube and the business side of creating.   The chat couldn't be rounded up without a mention of the One UI 7 Beta at the end by Daniel, as he didn't want the pod to end without at least a chat about Samsung's latest software.   All that and more on this week's Minus Sixteen!     Get in touch: david@talkingtechandaudio.com   Daniel’s latest video: https://youtu.be/wLSmENZ-1mE?si=XOq0R8aFTw6Pg1GJ Alex’s latest video: https://youtu.be/mzJT46G70b0?si=QtDRGkPZQCQymdOR David’s latest video: https://youtu.be/09rxYRTvG8U Patrick's latest video: https://youtu.be/HUizYbqPUio?si=nPA0DQvmwL3pMl_U     00:00 Intro 02:00 Daniel’s M4 dilemma 06:10 Breaking out of an ecosystem 10:15 Patrick’s Mac of choice 12:00 The Mac mini - the perfect portable device - is Apple up to something? 17:55 Our OCD is happy! 18:10 Alex and his Android free life 23:15 Choosing brands for the business 26:55 Working with a manager 33:15 The balance of making dedicated videos 36:25 Apple fanboy videos 39:15 How much can you charge? 44:25 Should brands be more transparent? 47:25 Dealing with bad debts in the creator economy 52:55 The benefits of networking 56:00 One UI 7 Beta 59:10 Selling packages 60:00 Losing Twitter followers

    Will Daniel FINALLY switch to Apple silicon? Fold SE hands-on, Mac Mini & MKBHD dramas! | Ep. 74

    The boys lost Alex this week as his Jaguar got scared after the rebrand and needed repairs. David & Daniel started by discussing the positive side of tech YouTube and how they both intend to continue to be excited by tech rather than tired of it. This led to an early look into a fascinating new product from Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold SE. Along with the new design, it sparked a conversation about product launches and Samsung's haphazard release schedule. David then spoke about his massive Mac Mini video and what it taught him about creation and also the products he was testing, which then turned into a long, deep-dive discussion into the future of Daniel's editing set-up. He is currently in a mind melt about switching from his beloved, but flawed, Galaxy Book 4 Ultra to a Mac Mini or M1 Max Macbook Pro.  He takes us on a long, twisted journey about what he is grappling with and David tries to help him navigate through. But he needs your help, so when you've listened, comment below! The boys then discuss the hot YouTube news of the last 2 weeks, MKBHD. Rather than just straight up cancelling him, David & Daniel offer a balanced, fair analysis of the whole situation and try and offer perspective in the whole scenario.

    This week started with a bit of chaos as it looked like Daniel's tech troubles would strike again.   Alex & David started without him and got straight into NEW Mac Mini chat. The boys spoke about the new devices as well as the configurations they had purchased for themselves.   Daniel EVENTUALLY fixed his tech issues and joined as we got into Alex's No Android November challenge which prompted a great insight into daily drivers and what tech we rely on each day to support not only our businesses but also our lives.   We then diverted to YouTube and spoke about celebrating successful weeks on the platform with everyone hitting a 1/10 video, before discussing how we respond to comments and engage with our audience in unique ways.   We finished up with some new tech to look at, Daniel & Alex waxed lyrical over some DJI cameras before rounding off the episode.
