Have I Changed? Or Has Apple Changed?

Also, people tend to be less easily excited as they get older, I'm already starting to notice it in myself.

This video actually makes a really good 10 year anniversary video for this channel. If I recall correctly, you started this channel in 2014, at least according to the oldest public video available on this channel. So it was really interesting to acknowledge just how much you have changed over the past decade.

Honestly, the reason I keep coming back to this channel is because of your opinion and your vocalization of it. If you were just buying and reviewing tech like the 10, 000+ others out there, I certainly wouldn't still be around. You be you Drew.

Hey! I was the one that asked for this over twitter/X. Thank you for responding and happy Thanksgiving! Will be listening to this now

I miss the “this is your apple sheep here”

[dualnon]

I don’t really “miss” the older drew. I’ve been watching long enough that I’ve seen you evolve, and a lot of the ways you’ve grown and changed have been in parallel with me or even influenced me to think more wisely about tech purchases.

This is called maturing. Love it. Keep going.

The photos app is still annoying. I got so frustrated, I handed my phone to my wife and asked her to navigate.

It's kinda funny you mention this because while tech is definitely "matured" as a market, I am absolutely ASTONISHED at how awesome the M4 stuff is. I have a M4 iPad Pro 13 inch and a M4 Mini and they are just so incredible. Unfortunately I don't think content creators have much to say about them though; they're just... really, really REALLY good products, there isn't a ton to talk about on a video basis like there was years ago.

Nice to finally see a youtuber openly admit that the topic their channel is focused on is basically solved, and there’s not much to add to it.
I’ve seen so many channels scraping the bottom of the barrel, especially ones that cover a book/film/anime/TV/game series. Eventually, they all become fanfiction channels.

The amount of people spending $2000 on a ipad pro to get 16gbs and then flaming everyone on reddit for us reasonable humans who know the 8gb is all we will EVER need.

[Romafedorov]

You’re my go to creator for Apple stuff mainly because of your honesty. I hope you’ll never change that.

[heidibrowne]

Bravo. You have always been my favorite tech channel. 🙏🏻

[MrChannel]

I'm from France, French native speaking, very tech savvy.... and you are maybe my favorite tech reviewer, if not certainly top 3.
I agree with all you just said ; continue your good work please :)
I often wonder how is it that you don't have more subscribers

Drew you are not afraid to say what you really think. You’re not like the other tech bros or iJustines of YouTube who kiss Apples rear end just to have the chance of getting an Apple event invite. You are honest and not afraid to share your opinion, they may not be the most popular, but that’s why I watch your channel and listen to your podcast, you’re not only entertaining but you were the original Apple sheep and it’s great to see growth in a YouTuber. You’re not afraid to try something new like android, and giving your honest feedback. You helped me realise that I don’t need the latest tech all the time, I’m still rocking my 2018 15inch MacBook Pro, it still works, I got the battery replaced and it still is pretty quick. Sure I’d like an upgrade, but being in the same life stage as you Drew, I’m a young married man, with a wife and hopefully future children down the line, my financial goals are not what they used to be, I have responsibilities, and having costs to live, you can’t just spend willynilly. I personally can’t justify the upgrade to a new Mac, especially when I don’t have as much time as I used to, creating music and videos, due to my job. I got a family to provide for, so I get it. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re my favourite channel. Ps keep doing the skits!

[stevejohnson]

Somehow apple moved back into vertical integration. If you want upgrades, you have to buy from then. The company tested, and noticed that most customers will pay. I'm not one of those customers.

[haiiirookami]

I also like watching longterm reviews of older products or maybe a video where you explain which (apple) products you use for your dialy workflow/life and whether or not there are alternatives or whether youre thinking about upgrading them if a new product meets some key requirements :)

Keep up the good work, i really like watching your videos and takes :)

[DustyKing]

My favourite Tailosive Tech era was 2017-2019. Maybe because I was younger and miss those days. But those Attic and office space days were great. And I still watch 2017 Tailosive Tech videos.

[jmoney]

There have been way too many redesigns to the photo app in the past few years.

[kellygreenstudio]

You're doing great, Drew. I love Apple products and have since I was a teenager, but I have only owned a handful of Apple products since my mid-twenties. I personally don't need you to buy everything they release to talk about them. In general, their products are mostly just great and homogenous, and they either work for your needs or not. Right now their phones work for my needs but their computers don't; I currently don't have any Macs because my primary software is Windows-only and despite Parallels being great on Apple Silicon, running everything directly on a good Windows machine just gets work done with less hoop-jumping than when I had an M1. I have also found that I don't need tons of computers for every specific task. I come for your commentary, comedy, and outlook on these products that we love but that also frustrate us. Keep doing what you're doing while it keeps making sense/cents for you. We appreciate you.
