How to Setup Your iPhone - So It Doesn't Ruin Your Life
This was VERY helpful! I’ve had my first pair of AirPods (AP2) since 2019 and it’s time to upgrade them 🤗.
I love my mini 2. Need nothing else
Same here! The best all rounder tbh
yeah i'm gonna upgrade. using the iphone 12 rn it's earpiece doesn't work properly and the battery is terrible.
It’s going to be a big jump I’m excited for you!
Should I buy airpods pro now or wait? I hope they dont release new airpods pro next week.
Hey - I think they are going to be releasing new AirPods so I’d hold off and see what they come out with. It’s only a few days at this point 😁
@@brandonkennedy thanks! I will wait then. Cheers!
@@gb649 No problem!
Nice video BK, im an apple nerd but you make sense. I may well keep my 15 pro for another year
Thanks Anthony and yeah your phone will be perfect for another year (and more) but iPhone 17 should be a decent upgrade so it’ll hopefully be worth the wait 😎
By your recommendations, I'm due an upgrade...sh*t 🤣Talking head scene looks really well!
Hahaha not at all! If it’s not broken don’t fix it - thanks man still some work to do but the new lighting should help 🙏🏻
Why does M3 air feel heavier than Acer Asus swift vivo books?
Are they an all metal build?
damn sir you're rich
@@shanedawson4277 I wish!
Too fast, too advanced for one who needs step by step!
What in particular do you need help with?
I will be doing MBA. Is 8GB Ram enough? Mostly MS office stuff like excel and PPT
Yep you should be fine!
@@brandonkennedy thanks!
Scann
$2097 for 16gb ram 😅 oh god
It ain’t cheap!
I am a student is it worth for me to get one?
It all depends, do you need it?
I am a programmer
I do not do that high of problems but I feel it is the most value for money
My Dell XPS 15 has 32GB RAM and it still sucks most of the time. How's compared to that? I'm planning to switch to a Mac, probably Mac Air 16/512 variant. I wish I could get a refurbished one in India.
what xps ??? what year --- dont be fooled 8gb of mac is not 16gb on windows.
As Rusty mentioned, RAM on a windows machine vs Mac are really not compatible, MacOS is far better optimised to use the RAM it has.
@@Rusty01 XPS 15 9510, 2023 It’s not that old but really sucks randomly on normal use. Sometimes it works just fine even with resource intensive work but not reliable I’d say.
I’m thinking of getting the 8 GB/256 GB variant and will be using it for normal tasks such as Word/Excel, browsing, research etc. Since I do research I will definitely have too many tabs open at once, although I won’t use Chrome considering how it much RAM it uses. I will also be using R on RStudio. Is the 8 GB option good enough? I need to save money but don’t want buy a Windows laptop
It should be fine, but if you want to future proof yourself the next model up (even just 16gb of ram) will be a massive help.
Sickkk EDC - don't go near the city centre with all that gear though... The Magbak gear looks brilliant - nice video Brandon!
Thanks a million man! Absolutely 😂
"as little items as possible" sb "as few"
I said items not words..😂!
Nothing beats a good watch. I want to invest in a good suit, shoes & feel like a true professional.
Completely agree, just be careful the world of watches are like a never ending money pit😂😁
@@brandonkennedy I bought a lovely gold watch from H. Samuel’s in the Blanch shopping centre. Only watch I own. I’m not at the stage where I can afford several watches. I’m a broke university student haha
@@Siopc very nice, ahhh that’s only for now, just remember it once you start earning 😄
One of these days I will cave and splash out on an omega, but for now it's all going into the freelance business haha, but sick video man!
Thanks man! I think it would suit you 😁😁 Best of luck with the business venture excited to see what you do 🙌🏻
What’s in your EDC?
I use a base 8gb Mac mini for a lot of professional video work and not once in the past year has it been an issue, it's weird to see people say the minimum you should get is 16 or even 24gb of ram, I think its overkill, but then again I don't have 50 things open while editing cause there's no point of that.
Yeah everyone’s use case is different, it’s a great machine though glad you’re enjoying yours!
Hi, for music recording like GarageBand. Does the performance very fast by only m2 chip (not pro) 8gb Ram?
It should be fine, but I’d recommend looking up videos tailored to that use case.
I am praying about starting a church, and initially I’m looking for something that I can study on, make notes and print off documents for sermons. Later if it grows possible slides and perhaps some video/sound usage. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Do you believe the baseline mini would suffice for me? Or should I save up more and go with one with more processing power? The mini would initially be used in my apartment and possibly used as a home church computer. What do you think the life would be?
Go for the mini with M2 16gb ram and 512gb. This should be enough for you. 8gb would be enough too but it's always best to keep the future in mind as you might be doing other things with this machine
Base model will be fine but as mentioned if you’re thinking about future proofing it’s always best to go for the additional ram.
@@brandonkennedy I’ve settled on the base model but with 16 gigs unified memory. It’s gonna be a powerhouse!
is the macbook pro m3 14 inch 16gb ram good for carrying around in my backpack or would it be too heavy? I like how it has a good screen so I can do homework outside and the 16gb for future proof. The 16 inch might be good cuz if a bigger size right but then I feel it would be too heavy since the pros are heavy the airs. I found an open box pro m3 14 inch 16gb ram 512 gb for $1,413, and I paid $1,400 for the same version except 16gb. So I was thinking about getting the 16gb since its pretty much the same price. Also, since the pro has an HDMI port I can connect it to my tv right?
I am looking to buy m3 macbook but can't decide whether to get 8gb ram or 16gb ram. I will use it for school purposes (studying) which include browsing, word/excel and other school related tasks. Which ram do you suggest to get?
Just bought, 4-6 tabs of chrome, emails… 10 gb already used of 16
Guess I will get the 16gb ram
Really informative Brandon! I definitely would love to see a full build guide for your upcoming build!
Thanks Seamus! Leave it with me 🫡
First
Ayyy howdy!
people tank on these but i deadass love these airpods
Agreed man! Great piece of tech.
Right. People always talk junk about the sound quality. It’s great.
Can you run dual monitors on the mini?
Yes you just need an hdmi adaptor for one of them. That's my set up.
You can indeed! One USB-C and one HDMI
Thanks for the reply 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your video. Very professional and informative.
Thanks a million for the feedback. I hope it helped 🙏🏻
I bought the M2 Pro Mac Mini with the 16GB ram and 512GB SSD. It's only $1099 if you buy refurbished from Apple and $1299.99 if you buy brand new. However after 3 months I sold it. I really started to look at things over the last 2 weeks on my Dell inspiron now. A big comparison here. Overall Windows PCs are a lot better. Here's a list of why. #1. The taskbar combines the menu bar and dock together with time, wifi, notices, volume, applications, all into one bar on Windows. #2. The dock is annoying in Mac as it doesn't cover all the way to the left and right and leaves open space not covered by anything. #3. Windows has over 500,000 games on Steam, Gog, EA, and Epic game launchers. #4. Apple doesn't allow any upgrades on there macs anymore, it's all system on a chip. No upgrades at all! #5. Only USB-C inputs. Some have thunderbolt 4 which is USB-C combatable. Some have 2 and some have 4. Only Mac Mini has 2 USB 3 inputs. #6. Mac requires a cell phone for sign in. Windows never does! #7. To quit an app on Mac, you must go to the menu bar, name of app, close program. In Windows it's easier with just X. #8. Mac doesn't have Window snaping to left, right, corners, and specific fit ways now in Windows 11. #9. Windows has the best graphics available and better frame rate than console games. #10. You get more inputs on Windows PCs. #11. Windows PCs cost less. #12. In Windows, documents, pictures, music, and videos files are already there by default in the file explorer. But in the Finder on Mac you have to enable these with settings in the menu bar. A big reason why Windows is better and easier to use and cheaper. #13. You can upgrade a Windows PC, you can't upgrade a Mac at all anymore. A big reason why Windows PCs are better.
Lots of good reasons in there, but windows simply can’t compete when it comes to ecosystem and how all the products work together.
im going to be starting university soon for cyber security, i think the 16gb variant is worth it, especially since I want the macbook air lasting atleast 4 5 years
Completely agree, best of luck with cyber security 🙌🏻
The 120hz is a huge selling point to me. For something that you use every day, you'd want it to feel butter smooth. I just can't justify buying a new iPhone right now as my iPhone 12 is working fine (most of the time). Maybe when the iPhone 17 drops👀
Completely agree, it really makes it feel even more premium. I definitely would struggle going back to the non pro models now. That’s the right approach to tech, if it’s not broken don’t fix it!
omg.... wish I had seen this video before buying air m3 with 8 gb ram. Im really bad at laptop specs, so asked shop assistant help me with the choice. He said 16 and 8gd have no differences in performance, so i went with the cheaper option.... Maybe il try trade in and get even m2 with 16gb
Don’t worry you still have a very capable laptop. What kind of work do you do on it?
@@brandonkennedy I wanna try myself in video editing, but mostly I’m gonna use it for studying
@@oleksiytsabun8985 Try out some video editing and see how it goes - it may be fine depending on how complex you go!
The Mac Mini is a great computer. My M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of ram holds up quite well today. I love the machine!!
I’m glad to hear it! It really is a powerhouse 😁
Using a non pro iphone is genuinely insane to me
Use pro one it is infinity
How so?
Great video
Thanks Anthony 🙏🏻
Love the rainy shots Brandon - I'd love a newer pro model coming from a base 12 with constant full storage but I can't justify dropping the dolla
Thanks Seamus, putting the IP rating to the test😂 Completely see your point - I think your phone would have to explode and you get a good deal on a new one to go for it.
I feel like flagships are not worth the cost at all. Too many people are attached to the brand i.e. Apple/Samsung rather than the product itself. There are other companies out there that are overlooked, but still have incredible stuff! Personally I have the SE 2020 version, which is essentially a slightly better iPhone 8. I will never consider a phone that costs €1000+. Hell. No.
Very good point. People are buying the brand and what it projects rather than the product itself - I think that’s definitely true with the likes of the iPad too. Yeah the cost is insane, especially over here it’s even worse 🤯
Heck yeah!
🙌
Answer yes: the base model is great! I love it!
Glad to hear it!
Please help me out here! I am confused between M3 Air 16gb and M3 Pro 8gb I am going for a masters in AI so it would include a lot of coding as well, i dont game or video edit at all.
You need RAN not fan
Air 100% - the RAM is most important.
Bro the Number plate
I own the iPad (2019) and this thing is still a beast. I don't see myself upgrading to a newer generation since iPadOS simply cannot compete with MacOS and it never will. The M4 chip on the latest iPad is complete overkill for a device that can only run app store applications. Great video man! Will you consider upgrading at some point?
Exactly, my iPad is an even earlier model than yours and is still going strong - unless Apple want to send me an iPad Pro and convince me that it's worth the price tag I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon!
Does bringing your mini outside and getting it some fresh air improve its performance? Does it double as a household pet?
Believe it or not it's recommended to take your mini for a walk every other week, I recommend getting the optional 'mac mini leash' and you can take it for walks and not have to worry about it running off!
I think this is a very specific Problem. When you want to be creative on an Ipad / MacBook. Most people in my view just want to watch there Fav Series on Netflix or Disney but for people who want to Edit Videos, Photos etc your absolutly right. If i would be an Student or Creative Person i would prefer the MacBook over an Ipad.
Agreed - you are right, I think the frustrating part is they have 'iPad Pro' with crazy specs and insane prices when in reality 99% of the use case is going to be as you mentioned some sort of media consumption.. just seems a bit mad, and a waste of money.
I have both an iPad and a MacBook Pro. The only reason I still have the laptop is because of MacOS. File management is just so bad on the iPad. Unzipping files, formatting drives, etc. It's worth the couple thousand every 5-10 years. Great video, you earned a sub. The algorithm seems to be picking you up
I'm the exact same, in an ideal world, I love the idea of picking up one machine and have it do everything I need and be the best of both worlds.. sadly I'm not sure we'll ever get to a place where Apple allows it. Thanks for the feedback Ryan, welcome aboard and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Maybe there is a way to install MacOS on the iPad through 3rd party apps? Because Apple promised they would allow that right? I really wish that was a thing, and im hoping you could swap between iPadOS and MacOS when you wanted to.
Yeah I'm sure there is with a 3rd party. I agree with you that it definitely should be a thing!
It' literally THE chopper. When people think of a helicopter, they think of a Jet Ranger.
Couldn’t agree more
Stage Manager on Pro line works pretty well, but I suppose the main draw is the OLED screen
That’s for sure, the OLED is amazing for all your media consumption needs
