  • Unlistenable

    The content seems fab, the hosts are good, however the way they have implemented adds makes the podcast unlistenable as ever few minutes the podcast is interrupted by adverts. Clearly where I listen there are not enough adds so I get the same two or three adds played twice per advertising segment. This does not include the sponsee reads as part of the podcast. I am all for creators getting paid for their work although sponsee reads plus external advertising ever few minutes makes this podcast... more

  • Comments/Thoughts regarding 11/14/25 Episode

    The iPhone Air should be the base model. I know people who just want a simple phone and maybe a camera. This would also be a great option for young people and seniors who do not want or need a lot of fancy features - just a phone and maybe something to text. It should replace the iPhone E and the (regular) iPhone would be second, with the Pros rounding out the lineup.

    In regards to Apple Fitness +, I use it almost daily. I agree that I have my favorite trainers. I like Hartley’s thoughts in ... more

  • Egocentric At Best

    This podcast isn’t relatable. The host constantly brags about his Apple gear but can’t keep facts regarding features found in other Apple products correct. Today he claimed he confused his AirPods Pro with other models while leaving his home. The host regularly gets basic news and facts regarding Apple wrong.

    One episode a few months ago, the host completely misrepresented why Apple’s blood oxygen sensor wasn’t activated. Instead researching, the host claimed it lacked the blood oxygen feature... more

  • 40% ads *update*

    I was initially critical in my last review but that was after listening for a long time and seen a steady decline mainly based around the ads and yeah they really bad and incredibly frequent. In the latest episode it's gotten a lot better so my updated review reflects this.

    This podcast is very basic and pretty much a 3 minute ad interruption every 6 to 9 minutes. I say interruption because audio just stops mid word, not sentence or between topics but cuts off a word to push garbage ads. Soon... more

  • Mostly loud, screaming ads, placed at random

    What is wrong with the producers of this show?? Every five minutes, an ad cuts in, sometimes when a person is speaking mid-sentence. I’m a MacRumors regular reader, but the show is unlistenable. Dumbfoundingly bad and amateurish production from an otherwise respectable site.
