Coming this weekend…

Today, Primary Tech Daily hit 100 episodes! Our deepest thanks to those who support the podcast, and we're just getting started 🎙️

Really excited about a Shortcuts video going out this weekend...this fit the vibe or too much?? 😅

📺 My longtime favorite MagSafe battery, the Anker Ultra Slim, has been dethroned! There's a new charging king, and it's *fast*. Watch my review here! youtu.be/Ih57CoBU46Y

🚨 Massive Primary Tech Show is out! Sora iPhone video app may be a dystopian nightmare, Amazon + Google's AI smart home plays, and iPadOS 26...windowing is meh Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/1vWb9Q9... YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqHS...

📺 After seeing Skylight calendar everywhere, I wanted to see if it could really help organize the family. So I reached out and they agreed to sponsor today's video, but I also think it's a great tool especially with kids! Watch it here: youtu.be/vCFI8A6Axec?...

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like windowing on iPadOS 26…I’d take back traditional Split View any day.

Looks like it's time for another smart lock review!

As I've been testing new MagSafe batteries I've been watching like a hawk for it to reach certain charge levels for comparison 🫠 how did I not think of making this Shortcut automation sooner

I was tempted to find an invite code for the new Sora app, but then realized I could spend that time making actual videos about Shortcuts! Did that instead.

Frame grab from my iPhone 17 Pro Max review…coming very soon!

Woah, shooting LOG on iPhone 17 Pro means 20min video = 100GB 😬

My favorite MagSafe battery may have finally been dethroned! Need to do a couple more tests but these Qi2 25W power backs are the real deal

Yesterday I returned iPhone Air and stuck with my 17 Pro Max…but now I'm wondering how crazy it would be to have a weekend iPhone

I got 100 of these…now to disperse

Ok ok, I'll update this one too

iOS 26.0.1 is out! Hoping for some major bug fixes

Inadvertently did a drop test on iPhone 17 Pro last night 😬 slipped out of my pocket, bounced once, and landed face down. Nomad's leather case took a hit, but the screen looks pristine! Ceramic Shield 2 at work here.

Begun, the Qi2/25W charger wars have

Listen, I can explain…

📺 3 years running, here is my annual iPhone leather case review! Brands made some interesting decisions this year… youtu.be/QLDrhLQfjLo?...

📺 My iPhone Air review is out! I honestly think it's the fourth time iPhone has taken a giant leap forward. Now up on the channel, and let me know which thumbnail YouTube serves you - trying something new 😉 youtu.be/B8JwFWaDadU

My annual iPhone leather case roundup is coming soon! And there are some big changes to some of my favorite brands (for better and worse)…

At the end of day 3, iPhone Air died around 7:40pm. 12 hours after coming off the charger at 100% It even charged a little midday as I imported video clips! Meanwhile, 17 Pro Max on its first day, which should “indexing etc etc” is at 67%

iPhone Air, taken with iPhone 17 Pro Max 4x lens ProRAW. No edits.

Yes, iPhone 17 Pro Max is thick, heavy, and a brute compared to iPhone Air…but honestly, I love it

📺 AirPods Pro 3 are a massive upgrade, and I tested *everything.* From ANC to live translation and heart tracking, plus, how good are those new tips?? Watch and share here! youtu.be/XpJjkIpFIAI

The most in-depth review of AirPods Pro 3 dropping in 20 minutes...

A/B Title testing on YouTube is pretty wild. For my last Shortcuts video, the "Mind Blowing" superlative won out 🤔

Want to know if you can live with 1x camera on iPhone Air? Create a new Smart Album in Mac Photos app, add these two filters for focal length and you'll see all the photos you've taken with the Telephoto and Ultra Wide lenses on 15 + 16 Pro Max It's over 1,000 photos + videos for me

iPhone Air Day 2: Battery certainly did better, going from 100% at 7:50am to 17% at 5:25pm with 3.5 hours screen on usage. Will continue testing for another day, but it’s clear on heavy usage Air needs a MagSafe battery or midday charge. Would really struggle at conferences or during travel.

Ok let's do it, join me to chat iPhone Air right here and now: youtube.com/live/aGEi28n...

Think I might live stream at 12pm ET with some early thoughts on iPhone Air vs Pro Max...stay tuned 👀

AirPods Pro 3 are a massive upgrade, from noise cancelling to sound quality, and live translation is wild. Full review coming *very soon*

Uh oh…I’ve been using iPhone Air pretty heavily, but down 50% battery in THREE HOURS?? Ooph

iPhone Air: Apple still got it

Just got back from a road trip and had a few packages. You guys heard of these?

One of the best features on iPhone got even better with iOS 26. Now, when you get 2FA codes in third party apps (like WhatsApp and Google Voice), you can paste them with a single tap. Not just the ones that deliver via SMS:

One of the best new iOS 26 features: AirPods low battery / fully charged notifications

Happy belated iPhone day! Mine arrived at home (Air and Pro Max), along with AirPods Pro 3 and Watch Ultra 3, but I’m actually traveling on a college visit with the fam. Won’t see any photos or video from me over the weekend, but will take some time to review and post a bunch of stuff soon💪🏼

Brother-in-law STILL rocking iPhone X…battery health is wild

Real talk, feeling serious FOMO not getting the iPhones 17 early, and won't have AirPods Pro 3 in time to do a full review before launch day. But I know if I put in the work and get creative, I can make reviews I'm proud of. Gonna take it all to the next level, stay tuned 📺

People are getting my Andar Hunter Green case!! So fun seeing it in the wild.

Actually on a road trip today, so will have lots of iOS 26 CarPlay thoughts tomorrow 👀
