The boys are on fire this week with a lot to talk about.

Joined by fellow Australian Samuel Nam, they start to dissect the Apple launch event and each give their honest (and ranty) impressions about the new range. For the first time, Daniel talks about his intention to buy one and the reason why, whilst Samuel brings his insights into dailying an iPhone Air.

We chat briefly about YouTube, discussing the state of securing sponsors and working with brands, but the chat is swiftly brought back to Apple, and for good reason, as there is a lot to discuss.

David is adamant that Apple is back on track this year and is impressed by what he sees for a vision for the future, whilst Alex orders one of everything from the Apple menu.

Get out of the description and get watching - the boys rip in this week with passion, humour, and a fair bit of ranting.

S25 FE & Pixel 10 Pro chat, Google keeps Chrome and plenty more on this week's episode of Minus Sixteen!
