Not PC with Mark and Rob

This week, Mark and Rob are joined by Daniel from the ZoneOfTech YouTube channel. They discuss Daniel's ordeal with the Samsung Galaxy Ring, whether anyone can realistically stick with the iPhone Air over the Pro Max and the allure of tri-folding phones.

This week, Mark and Rob are joined by YouTuber Pete Matheson to discuss the latest tech news, including the announcement that Android is coming to PC and there are new iPads on the way in October! Plus, Pete gives some insight into his creative process, the need to offload extra work to prevent burnout and how he has wrestled with titling YouTube videos over the years.

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.

There's a lot to catch up on as we launch Not PC, our new tech podcast now with added guests! This week, alongside Patrick Rambles of YouTube fame, we're digging into Samsung's Z Fold7 and Flip7, the Nothing Phone 3's disputed flagship status, a 'new' Commodore 64 and the logistics of a press trip to New York City!
