The Samsung S25 Edge, CarPlay Ultra and WWDC were all up for discussion on this episode…

Will there be a shift in smartphone design, as the era of thin phones comes back, and will they challenge the foldables? We’ve asked for change, and now we are finally seeing it, but what’s the Samsung Edge been like to live with? Daniel tells us firsthand.

Apple finally unveiled CarPlay Ultra, so David takes a deep look into that and gives us his thoughts on why car makers have been so reluctant to adopt to using it. And what’s coming at WWDC…we’ll cover that properly next time, but we have some early thoughts and predictions.

While Alex was on holiday, it gave him time to reflect on the phones he uses every day and what features make him decide what phone to reach for.

And what is happening with YouTube and views? They seem all over the place - has something changed, and what makes a video pop and take off?

We also discuss the balance between work and enjoyment while travelling, the significance of pushing creative boundaries, and the joy of connecting with viewers through our content.
