Welcome to Digitec's new special podcast. It's all about Apple products and services. From rumour talk to technical deep dives - Samuel and Flo report once a month from the garden of the brand with the taken a Byte.

The time has come: "Take a Byte", our podcast on the topic of Apple, is born. We - Samuel and Flo - have a cracker for you for the first episode. One week after the keynote in Cupertino, we talk about the iPhone 15 series. Revolution, iteration or something in between?

We tested the new smartphones for almost a week (without a case) and draw our first conclusions. Is the titanium frame really more robust? Are the new cameras noticeably better? Is the hype surrounding USB-C justified? Which model is the best deal this year? We categorise and provide answers - albeit not always the same ones.

Topics:

  • [00:00] Intro
  • [01:18] Who are we?
  • [04:30] Design: no shell thanks to titanium?
  • [20:45] USB-C: surprisingly uncomplicated
  • [29:10] Camera: The Pro deserves the name
  • [40:30] Conclusion: Which iPhone for whom?

Snapping and climbing. This aptly describes Samuel. His heart beats for photography, whether analogue or with an overpriced Hasselblad, at the price of which others buy a car. The cameras are used when travelling or on rock faces at dizzying heights. Naturally, he edits the images on a Mac. Because whether it's his headphones, smartphone or laptop, Samuel is deeply rooted in the garden of the nibbled apple.

Data protection and audio issues are two of Florian's favourite topics. Whether it's cyberattacks, phishing emails or browser malware - Flo knows every recipe. His favourite way to prepare his meals is on his trusty MacBook. He doesn't get lost in the Windows jungle that often any more. Except when he wants to game "Counter-Strike". But even then, thanks to the Parallels software, he remains loyal to the bitten apple world. He also sometimes has a gripe about the performance of his football club. Because despite his adopted home of Winterthur, his heart still beats red and blue.

I've been tinkering with digital networks ever since I found out how to activate both telephone channels on the ISDN card for greater bandwidth. As for the analogue variety, I've been doing that since I learned to talk. Though Winterthur is my adoptive home city, my heart still bleeds red and blue.
