The DAD's are back, all three of them are together, even after a dicey cyclone in Australia that threatened to keep Daniel away, it cleared just in time for the boys to record.
Alex kicks off the chats this week with a close look and discussion at the Oppo Find N5, which then brought about a broader discussion about the state of the foldable market and whether Apple will ever dip their toes in the water with one of their own.
David then brings up the state of Apple marketing and how they don't seem to have any cohesion, especially in the light of the Apple Intelligence delay and how they promoted that VERY heavily during the iPhone 16 launch.
Chat then turns to YouTube and how changes with ad placement have caused a stir in the creator community recently. Daniel found a tweet that breaks it down and the boys discuss what it might mean.
YouTube also seemed to test a new shorts feed that had the boys confused.
Bots are watching videos, brands are paying for them and Newcastle will beat Liverpool on Sunday at Wembley, all that and more on this week’s Minus Sixteen!
