Great piece by SGG here. The iPhone Air is quite literally Apple's corporate greed reified. You get the privilege of paying $200 MORE than the standard iPhone 17 for fewer cameras, a significantly smaller battery and the option of shelling out an additional $100 to Apple for a MagSafe battery pack

Apple executives have long discussed how to slow innovation, or outright regress features, to get their customers to pay more less. The iPhone Air is the realization of that greed. somegadgetguy.com/2025/09/10/t... #tech #apple #iphone #technews #gadgets #geek

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Tech giants have spent more than $100 billion on data center construction just this summer in the name of “progress”- but this new report from @mediajustice.bsky.social reveals just how much the opposite of that is happening in Southern communities: mediajustice.org/resource/the...

Aw man! Went the whole show this week and forgot to show off the new shirt my Mom sent me!

This comment on my India cloud computing video broke my brain. Do I spend six hours in a random spot and THEN ten minutes after six hours I'll get it? Do I plan to stay for six hours, but I'll get it in ten minutes, and then I need to waste five hours and fifty minutes? I'm so confused...

Had a lovely nerdy chat on the AtypicalDoctor podcast! atypicaldoctor.com/2025/09/12/s... We ran long, so this is just part one, but we cover a lot of tech ground. Some chatter about Android, how influencers review tech, and a little tech politics.

Apple Execs quoted in a DOJ filing: “I think going forward we need to set a stake in the ground for what features we think are ‘good enough’ for the consumer." "...we find it very hard to regress our product features YOY [year over year].” The iPhone 17 Air regresses features YOY.

Course 2 of our Pro Repair Academy will cover subjects such as microsoldering, microscope fundamentals, electrical theory, schematics, board diagnostics, and more. Each module is built to equip repair professionals with the tools to take on today’s complex board-level challenges. bit.ly/4mZqIXX

Of course Phone specs still matter. It’s silly to argue otherwise. somegadgetguy.com/2025/09/09/o... From a hardcore mobile junky, there's a LOT of information consumers are missing on their mobile devices, and it's probably costing them a lot in the long run... #tech #gadgets #android #smartphone

It's clear YouTube has been reworking algorithms to devalue the relationship between creators and audiences. They want the same mindless open scrolling that TikTok has. ANOTHER YT channel discussing this openly... www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5-b...

Did a live chat with some pals on Discord. My takeaway from the Apple event. I like new batteries in airpods. I like the new iPhone Pro got SOME nudged up specs, though a lot still falls behind what I like on Xiaomi and Vivo camera phones.

Dear iQOO, You never should have abandoned this design. This is one of the prettiest phones you've ever made, and now both Samsung and Apple are going to be cribbing this look. You were ahead of the game here. Love, Juan #android #tech #geek #gadgets

For ANY and EVERY phone, but of course this is always most precious to say immediately after an Apple/Google/Samsung launch.

Before you pre-order a new Apple device, consider repairing your current one. You can make it feel like new, save money, and keep another device from becoming e-waste. #AppleEvent #RighttoRepair

I can not stress enough, this is NOT a review, because it's stupid and irresponsible to post a phone "review" in week one of launch. youtu.be/TXYtqsgaTcg?... The experience I'm having so far on the Pixel 10 Pro is poor for this HIGH of a price. Now we wait to see how Google polishes this phone up.

There are a lot of 'influencers' or reviewers who just shill stuff like a QVC presenter. @somegadgetguy.com is not one of them. Another solid no nonsense overview of a phone, this time the Pixel 10: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXYt...
