This week, the boys were joined by YouTuber Andrew Clare. Andrew is an Apple-focused YouTube channel from the states, and he joins us to talk about his experience, but also the latest iPhone 16e.   The chat starts with the aforementioned iPhone 16e and David does our first live pod unboxing. The product’s value is brought into question as well as the positive coverage of the phone as opposed to a real critique.   The chat then moves onto Galaxy S25 and Andrew shares his experience as a lifelong Apple user and how Samsung has changed since his last experience with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.   YouTube chat begins with talk about a recent video by a YouTube employee on their personal channel critiquing the current state of tech reviews.   Alex rallies the group to, instead of criticising the space, offering advice from the boy’s experiences that can help someone looking for inspiration.   Alex has an SD card nightmare, MKBHD's reviews are questioned and much more on this week's Minus Sixteen!   Get in touch: david@talkingtechandaudio.com   #apple #samsung #samsunggalaxy #iphone16e #iphonese #iphone   00:00 Intro 01:43 Unboxing the iPhone 16e 04:19 The C1 modem - the real key part to the 16e 06:25 Who is the 16e for? 09:06 The iPhone 16e price point 13:13 The name - what does it mean? 15:05 The foldables market - does it interest Apple? 19:19 The Beats PowerBeats AirPods 20:32 Andrew and his phone choice 24:42 The WhatsApp conundrum 27:26 Why did FaceTime never catch on? 28:10 A quick Ted Lasso & Apple TV interlude 31:00 What’s new from Samsung? 40:00 Our thoughts and advice for if you’re starting a channel 52:39 Have the larger channels lost their passion? 58:23 The tech creator space 64:00 YouTube’s new approach to ad placement 68:00 YouTube Premium 71:00 The SD card story
