Not PC with Mark and Rob

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!
