In a short and sharp chat this week, the boys begin their chat with some insights into how they got their iPhones on launch day and David recounts the hustle and bustle it took to get him his devices in time for videos.

David & Alex both give their accounts of using the iPhone in the first week and talk about how the camera control button is positioned wrong and lacks enough functionality right now.

The chat then turns to the newest Samsung devices and naturally, Daniel offers his guidance on what Samsung should've done instead.

After the product chat was done, Daniel talked about the origins of his beef with Quinn from Snazzy Labs and why creators should support each other instead of spreading hate and derision.

Finally, in a stacked chat, they finish with insights and thoughts on the controversy surrounding MKBHD and the Panels app that was launched last week.

It may have been shorter, but it is not short on topics, so grab your best snack and enjoy the latest episode of Minus Sixteen!

Another iPhone event is done and dusted, and the lads have some strong opinions on whether Apple has brought enough with their yearly showcase.

They break down the iPhone 16, Airpods 4 and a lazy update to the Watch Ultra 2 and AirPods Max.

David & Alex discuss what they ordered off the back of the event and the content they are planning.

When discussing YouTube, the lads discuss the thumbnail A/B testing again and revisit the hot issues of "buying views".

Finally, Alex discusses his recent travels to IFA in Berlin and how it had positive effects on networking in the creator Space.
