2019-08-29 · How to Film YouTube Videos on Your Phone — Ali's point: to start a YouTube channel or start filming you do not need to wait for a fancy camera or save up for gear; an iPhone or Android phone is all you need. — 00:00:00

2019-10-01 · iPhone 11 vs iPhone 7/8/X/XR/XS - Real world camera comparison — Ali says upgrading an iPhone makes sense if you want something specific, such as the ultra wide lens for landscapes and architecture or portrait mode, but whether a purchase is worth it depends on many factors: your circumstances, budget and what you want from it. — 00:13:46

2019-11-06 ·  iPhone 11 & 11 Pro - Review — Ali: By the idea of measure, Ali says, an iPhone used hundreds of times a day is a very high-measure item, so even a one per cent improvement might be worth upgrading for. (hedged) — 00:09:30

2018

2018-05-29 · Live Stream - Hangout — Ali was anti-Apple until he could afford it, seeing no point in a £1,500 MacBook when Windows gave the same specs for under half; after his mother gave him a MacBook Air at university, he found its user experience worth the price, at least when Windows was not that good, and premium Apple products worth it for him. — 00:24:39
2018-07-23 · A year on YouTube - Channel / life update — announcement: Ali wants to tie education in with tech after his iPad note-taking video did well, maybe with videos on the productivity apps he uses on his iPhone, iPad and MacBook; he calls himself a big Apple fanboy. (hedged) — 00:04:00
2018-08-30 · Monthly Favourites #6 - Ali Abdaal — recommendation: Ali wears his Powerbeats3 earphones, which pair automatically with the iPhone, at the gym and on his commute; however he shakes his head, they do not fall off. — 00:10:05
2018-08-30 · Monthly Favourites #6 - Ali Abdaal — recommendation: Ali: For anyone with an iPhone and the budget, Ali's pick among wireless earphones is the AirPods, because their link with the iPhone is incredibly convenient. — 00:12:51

2018-10-25 · iPhone XS Max Review - Is it worth it? — recommendation: Ali: Someone upgrading from a really slow phone such as an iPhone 5C should get the best iPhone, Ali says: it will last ages, and a fast phone instead of a slow one is likely to make them happier. — 00:06:46

2018-11-19 · iPad Pro 2018 Review - Should you buy it? — Ali finds the 2018 iPad Pro's design very industrial, like a stretched-out iPhone 5, and really thin, though it shows fingerprints. — 00:00:37
