Dive into the latest tech buzz with our video on iPhone 17 Rumours, and is YouTube finally cracking down on clickbait?

 

In this episode, we explore the most exciting whispers about the upcoming iPhone 17 and look back at our tech highlights of 2025. Plus, we delve into the ongoing debate: which is best, external storage or NAS - very relevant if you’re just about to buy an M4 Mac mini

 

But that's not all! There’s plenty of YouTube news, too. We look at achieving sustainable growth as your channel becomes larger & we discuss YouTube's new A/B title testing feature and also how they are going to attempt to crack down on clickbait videos. And - invalid traffic is back…and it’s worse than ever! Is working for free sometimes a good idea, and what value does a manager bring to creators?
