Apple has been busy. Mark and Rob are here to assess which of the new devices look exciting, which might run into some teething issues and which they've actually bought. Is the iPhone Air's battery going to be a major problem? Will that fancy new orange iPhone 17 Pro Max be as eye-catching in real life? And is the Apple Watch SE 3 worth it if it can't save your life on the side of a mountain? All questions answered in this episode!

Mark and Rob are joined by Ben from Lover of Tech this week where he lifts the lid on how he shoots his brutal battery drain tests, why that remains a huge part of what makes or breaks a phone and the lengths creators go to stand out in a crowded market.

We also dive into Samsung’s continued stubbornness when it comes to innovating with battery tech and the rather interesting gold statue gifted by Apple to Donald Trump.

In this episode, Mark, Rob, and special guest Alex from Alex Gear & Tech discuss Apple’s potential move to buy an AI company and the future of foldable phones. They also dive into Tim Cook’s legacy as Apple’s CEO and the ongoing challenges with Apple’s Vision Pro. Plus, they dive into Alex's experience of being a content creator on YouTube, including his creative process and the constraints of playing to metrics like views and watch time.
