Keeping Apple Fanboys Happy! The M4 Mac mini going Android Free & One UI 7 Beta | Ep. 75

The boys are joined by Patrick Rambles this week and kick off their chat to see if Daniel is any closer to switching to a Mac. Patrick, Alex & David all over Mac Mini insights to try and help the decision as they also compare the base model Mac Mini's to fully specced machines.

 

Alex updated us on how the No Android November challenge went and talked through the pain of switching ecosystems constantly, and diverted the chat to how he wants to use this as a showcase for future sponsor integrations.

 

Patrick also revealed his strategy of moving away from dedicated videos and trying and focus on core content for his channel as the focus of the pod switched to its usual look at YouTube and the business side of creating.

 

The chat couldn't be rounded up without a mention of the One UI 7 Beta at the end by Daniel, as he didn't want the pod to end without at least a chat about Samsung's latest software.

 

All that and more on this week's Minus Sixteen!
