The boys are on fire this week. Discussion begins with iPhone 17 rumours and whether Apple are playing it too safe with their lineup of phones for 2025. This leads onto a conversation about how Apple have a hold over consumers and don't really have to push smartphone technology far anymore due to the fact that people just blindly buy them anyway.

But with Samsung's new foldable lineup out, the boys chat about how this is the first time a foldable can be recommended to the general consumer and beyond the tech bubble. The sleeker design, more natural cover screen ratio and improved main camera all lend themselves to being the perfect phone for Apple users to switch to.

Alex got a new M4 MacBook Air and spoke of how the M4 chip really surprised him in the lightweight package, and the boys generally discuss how Apple's computers over some of the best value for money to performance ratio of any laptops out there.

Leak culture was up next, and the boys weigh in on Apple vs Jon Prosser and how leak culture has influenced content creation in general. David takes a dig at how no one actually cares about Samsung to leak, Daniel loves his MacBook Pro, and Alex tells Samsung how to fix the Fold 8.

All that and more on this week’s Minus Sixteen!
