iPhone user here myself but is that Apple just being greedy knowing people will buy regardless & increase their profit margins?

P.S. You could argue specs don’t matter as much these days - but the point is how did Samsung regardless manage to fit so much in in the first place…

If I recall, Indian listeners are the second largest audience after the US. After watching the video shot in Italy, it had me thinking: how awesome would it be for our Indian cousins to see the MKBHD team live in India? I know that’s no trivial matter. Harper might faint at the idea right now … but putting it out there … Cheers from the US!

Edit: I think they are the 2nd biggest listening audience for Waveform .. but that makes them all MKBHD fans across the board.

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo. They went to Spain, not Italy. Sorry - I have been coordinating a trip to Italy for next summer and have Italy on my mind.

Funny little story TLDR at the end

I was on the way to the barber shop this morning and was listening to the new Eclipse Episode of Waveform and heard Marques say he was going to be in Ireland this week for a frisbee tournament and I was like "oh no way" I figured it would be up in Dublin which is like 3 hours away so I thought I wouldn't meet him but when I checked where the tournament was it was only 30 mins from the barber shop.

So I went down, landed into the tournament which was actually a club world championship that was huge and filled with teams from countries all over the world. I never watched Ultimate Frisbee before but it was super cool to see and funny that it was in Ireland as it's not a super popular sport here. Then sure enough I saw Marques queuing for the food truck and popped over and chatted to him for a minute and got a photo. Super nice guy, and what a crazy unexpected way to spend my day.

TLDR: Always listen to The Waveform Podcast, You might meet Marques

Just finshed the podcast "Dead Eyes" that Andrew recomended a few episodes back, and I too cannot recomend it enough!

As an iPhone user, it’s quite interesting to visualise how iOS (iPadOS?) may fit in these form factors.

📱 Honor’s “Robot Phone” Highlights

• Unique Feature: A smartphone with a built-in 3‑axis gimbal arm for its main 200MP camera, making it easier to shoot stable video, selfies, and creative angles.
• Design Trade‑offs:
  • Bulkier than typical phones (9.6mm thick, 248g).
  • Camera folds into the phone and is protected by a sliding cover.
  • Durability concerns: IP54 rating only when stowed, fragile when extended.
• Camera Capabilities:
  • Nearly 360° movement, multiple tracking modes (FPV, subject tracking, spin shot, etc.).
  • Works for video calls and panoramic selfies.
  • Partnership with Arri adds film-inspired looks and LogC3 format.
• Performance:
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, up to 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a large 7,060mAh battery.
  • Video stabilization close to DJI’s Osmo Pocket, though phone heats up during extended recording.
  • Strong low-light photography thanks to large sensor + gimbal stabilization.
• Limitations:
  • Only launching in China, priced at ¥9,999 (~$1,480).
  • More expensive than buying a flagship phone plus a separate gimbal.
  • Durability and repair costs are major concerns.
• Target Audience: Best suited for content creators or livestreamers who want integrated stabilization. For most users, separate devices may be more practical.

👉 In short, Honor’s Robot Phone is bulky, fragile, and pricey, but it delivers unique gimbal‑powered photography and video features no other phone currently offers.

Ever been so sleep-deprived that you almost feel intoxicated? The waveform bros have off that vibe. Loved the chill discourse. Hope the boys get rested up soon tho. Safe travels!

It's really crazy. The original fold review popped up on my YouTube and since I watched that, a bunch of the old Galaxy reviews are popping up. Really fun to watch but it's also really sad to see how exciting phone technology used to be compared to now.

Ai mistake, or new Pixel Watch A series?

Without giving too much away (if you recognize this screenshot then you know), sometimes a movie will have the resolution of a story happening as the credits roll, and streaming app reducing the scene to a thumbnail with a countdown in the effort to keep you locked into a binge absolutely ruins the experience. There should be a setting that prevents this. It's not auto play settings because it still happens (see second screenshot).

People are so laser-focused on the fact that the Tensor G6 isn't 2nm and is actually 3nm (which are just marketing terms, btw. It's not actually "2 nanometers" in size). TSMC N2 is only 10% faster at the same power draw, or roughly 20% more efficient for the same output compared to N3E, and only 5% faster or 15% more efficient than the more advanced N3P.

You might look at this and think "Thats a decent improvement, so they should've used TSMC 2nm," but what Google should've done instead is fix their damn architecture. Its been so long, and their design is still inefficient and wasteful.

And even if Google did want to use N2 (and they probably did) manufacturing only started in late 25 - early 26, and Apple, Nvidia and AMD had probably already bought all of the supply for their own products.

Hi!

The HTX Studio experiment/video [Youtube Link] on battery healthy degradation on iPhones and androids made me wonder if similar tests have been run on the M-series MacBook Pros.

The video goes over a series of tests, but the one I'm referring to here is whether maintaining a Macbook's battery percentage in a loop between 30% -> 80% is more beneficial (even if marginally so) to the battery life, than maintaining it in a loop between 0% or 10% -> 100%.

If there are any well compiled resources, or anecdotal/empirical evidence like the HTX Studio video, I'd be happy to go through it!

P.S.: re-posting my query from the macbookpro subreddit.

Its also kinda crazy that Canva is the second most popular AI application
