iPhone Duo strongly leads Apple’s new-product YouTube views; AirPods and Watches trail far behind

iPhone Duo strongly leads Apple’s new-product YouTube views; AirPods and Watches trail far behind
iPhone Duo strongly leads Apple’s new-product YouTube views; AirPods and Apple Watches trail far behind.

A day after Apple’s September 9 event, official videos on the company’s YouTube channel show a clear hierarchy of interest: the first foldable iPhone is pulling far ahead of everything else Apple announced.

The five products in the spotlight were the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5. View counts on Apple’s own “Introducing” and “Everything announced” videos, posted about a day ago, put them in this order from most watched to least:

1. iPhone Duo
The flagship “Introducing the new iPhone Duo” film has about 8.8 million views. A longer “Everything announced” explainer sits at about 1.7 million. No other new product is close. The foldable is the first major change to the iPhone’s shape in nearly two decades, and the numbers show that curiosity is concentrated there.

2. iPhone 18 Pro
“Introducing the new iPhone 18 Pro” has about 5.9 million views. The companion deep-dive video is at about 1.4 million. That is a strong showing for a conventional Pro refresh, but it is still millions behind the Duo. Camera, battery, and A20 Pro messaging are landing — just not as hard as a folding screen.

3. Apple Watch Series 12
The standalone Series 12 introduction video is at about 473,000 views. Interest is real, especially around heart-rate sensing, but it is an order of magnitude below the two iPhones.

4. Apple Watch Ultra 4
Apple bundled Ultra 4 with Series 12 in a combined “ultimate wearable” video that has about 441,000 views. There is no separate Ultra film matching the Duo or 18 Pro numbers. The rugged watch is part of the conversation, not the center of it.

5. AirPods 5
The main AirPods 5 video sits around 354,000 views. Open-ear design plus active noise cancellation is a notable change, but it is the least-watched of the five launches on Apple’s channel so far.

The full event stream, which covers every product at once, has tens of millions of views and is not a clean product-to-product comparison. The individual films are. They show a two-tier launch: iPhones, especially the Duo, are driving almost all of the official video traffic; watches and AirPods are clustering together far behind.

MacDailyNews Take: View counts move quickly in the first 48 hours, and Apple will keep posting follow-ups. As of now, the public signal on YouTube is unambiguous. People came for the foldable and to a lesser extent, the iPhone 18 Pro models. The rest of the new releases are watching from a distance.

YouTuber restaura iPhone 13 mini com bateria nova e 512GB de armazenamento

10 September 2026 at 21:05

Em tempos de anúncios de novas gerações dos iPhones, muitas pessoas fazem um balanço sobre o estado atual do seu próprio aparelho, avaliando se não é a hora de trocar de celular.

A crise de memória e os iminentes aumentos que decorrem dela são, no entanto, impeditivos razoáveis (desconsiderando a ausência de um “iPhone 18” no evento) para adquirir um modelo de última geração.

As duas alternativas restantes, portanto, envolvem pesquisar boas promoções ou restaurar o seu iPhone. A segunda opção foi a escolha de um inscrito do canal DirectorFeng, que enviou o seu iPhone 13 mini ao YouTuber, rendendo este vídeo em ASMR que detalha todo esse processo:

A restauração incluiu a substituição da bateria (que se encontrava com uma saúde de 77%, degradação suficiente para a Apple recomendar a troca) e a atualização do armazenamento interno (que foi dobrado, saltando de 256GB para 512GB).

Considerando que a memória NAND é soldada diretamente no iPhone, essa certamente foi uma das partes mais desafiadoras da restauração, junto com a organização na hora da desmontagem (que faz uso de uma série de ferramentas específicas para esse tipo de procedimento), a transferência de dados e a gravação de parâmetros no novo armazenamento do iPhone.

Pelo vídeo, o processo parece mais fácil do que ele realmente é, já que uma restauração como essa exige alguma familiaridade — inclusive com solda. A troca da bateria, entretanto, é um processo menos sofisticado, mas ainda demanda alguma atenção, e pode ser feito em todo caso com uma assistência da sua confiança.

Recentemente, fizemos a troca de bateria de um iPhone 15 Pro Max que apresentava um nível de degradação semelhante, tudo utilizando o kit de bateria da iFixit. Vale a pena conferir!

E você, é do time que arriscaria uma restauração dessas, ou normalmente opta por adquirir um iPhone novo?

Confira os vídeos da keynote de lançamento dos novos iPhones, Apple Watches e AirPods

9 September 2026 at 22:41

Como de costume, depois do evento especial “Surprise and shine”, no qual a Apple apresentou seus novos iPhones, Apple Watches e AirPods, a empresa disponibilizou em seu canal do YouTube alguns vídeos destacando os principais anúncios da keynote.

Para quem busca uma rápida passada pelos produtos apresentados durante o evento, o vídeo de recapitulação abaixo pincela os principais destaques de cada um dos dispositivos revelados hoje, indo e voltando na apresentação oficial em um tom bastante irreverente (e frenético).

iPhones 18 Pro

O vídeo de apresentação do iPhone 18 Pro deu destaque ao chip A20 Pro, à Siri AI e suas capacidades, à gestão térmica com a nova versão da câmara de vapor (tornando a dissipação de calor ainda mais eficiente) e ao novo sistema de câmeras (que introduziu a abertura variável para ajuste da entrada de luz no sensor).

Já esse vídeo recapitula alguns dos principais destaques do iPhone 18 Pro ao contrapor esses elementos-chave com os tradicionais closeups cinematográficos dos comerciais da Apple.

Ele dá destaque ao novo sistema de resfriamento, à abertura variável de câmera (o que inclui melhorias em cenários de baixa luminosidade, profundidade de campo e controles mais customizáveis), às novas cores e ao chip A20 Pro, além das frases “Projetado para performances extremas”, “Câmara de vapor de última geração” e a menção à autonomia de reprodução de vídeo no iPhone 18 Pro Max (que é de 45 horas).

Para fechar a tríade de vídeos do iPhone 18 Pro, a Apple publicou um recorte da keynote com a apresentação completa desses aparelhos.

iPhone Duo

O vídeo de apresentação do primeiro dobrável da Apple destaca a versatilidade de uso do novo design, que inclui a maior tela já vista em um iPhone, num aparelho que é também o mais fino já feito pela Apple, bem como um iOS completamente repaginado para embarcar essa nova experiência.

O render cinematográfico do iPhone Duo dá destaque à tela maior e seus múltiplos usos em multitarefa, aos diferentes modos de câmera (incluindo o recurso Duo Preview), além de mencionar o sistema de resfriamento, o chip A20 Pro e a construção em titânio, com Ceramic Shield nas duas partes externas. Outro detalhe é a menção ao fato de que o aparelho é “o iPhone mais fino da história”, superando a marca do iPhone Air.

Como o título induz, neste vídeo temos tudo que foi mostrado do iPhone Duo durante o evento. Assim como esse vídeo, já entramos em detalhes sobre o que foi apresentado do iPhone Duo aqui no MacMagazine.

Apple Watches Series 12 e Ultra 4

A apresentação inicial do novo Apple Watch deu destaque ao seu novo sensor de frequência cardíaca, descrito como “o mais preciso de um dispositivo vestível”. O restante do vídeo traz destaque os diferentes cenários onde essa precisão faz diferença no cotidiano dos usuários.

Já esse vídeo alterna entre a exibição do design do Apple Watch Series 12 e as suas novidades, como o monitoramento da variação de frequência cardíaca e insights de saúde mais sofisticados, mapeamento dos ciclos de sono, além, claro, de mencionar os recursos da Siri AI e da Apple Intelligence que estão presentes no dispositivo (como o Audio Intelligence), junto com a bateria de 24 horas e o carregamento rápido.

Também foi disponibilizado na íntegra a parte da keynote dedicada aos novos relógios. Esses detalhes também estão presentes em nossa cobertura desses produtos.

AirPods 5

Apesar do título, temos aqui um vídeo comercial condensando os recursos dos novos AirPods, como o Cancelamento Ativo de Ruído aprimorado, a clareza do som com o Modo Ambiente e a personalização do Áudio Espacial, dentre outras funcionalidades.

Este acima se difere um pouco em conteúdo; aqui, em vez de algo mais curto e comercial, temos tudo que foi revelado sobre os AirPods 5.

Keynote completa

O evento também pode ser conferido na íntegra, com pouco mais de 1 hora e 17 minutos de duração:

Rise of Chicken Shop Date highlights how YouTube turned the tables on TV

Amelia Dimoldenberg says publicists ignored her interview show for years but she can now be picky over A-list guests

Just a decade ago, Amelia Dimoldenberg found it impossible to drum up any mainstream celebrities to come on her mock date YouTube show, in which she chats awkwardly with guests over chicken and chips.

Even persuading a local actor connected with her London youth club to come on took years of prodding. Managers of A-listers with movies or albums to push instead battled to claim a spot on the hallowed cushions of the primetime TV chatshow sofa.

Indie Podcast Apps Not Growing

28 August 2026 at 19:47

Dustin Bluck:

Independent podcast apps are not growing as a category. This is not a particular secret, but perhaps you haven’t seen it stated explicitly. It’s the sort of thing that has to be inferred, but there’s plenty of available data if you look for it. While the podcasting sector has seen growth, this has occurred almost entirely on platforms like YouTube, and the independent podcast app userbase has mostly just stood still.

[…]

I’m sure somewhere out there a 21-year-old just downloaded Castro or Pocket Casts for the first time and thinks RSS feeds are awesome (if you are this person, please email me). But every number I can see indicates the userbase is both static and aging. Every new customer I talk to has used some combination of Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Castro for at least the last 5 years if not the last 10.

[…]

Perhaps there are healthy businesses that get very few new users but instead gracefully age with the ones they have. Ferrari maybe? Buddy, smartphone apps are not one of those businesses.

[…]

I would rather work on flashy features to capture new users, but, reality being what it is, I have to think about things in terms of both the health of the ecosystem and what will actually help retain existing podcast app users.

Nick Heer:

Anil Dash wrote, in 2014, that the simple phrase wherever you get your podcasts is a “radical statement”:

[…] Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that’s supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that’s not owned by any one company, that can’t be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

Video podcasting changes that. In its simplest form, it is just a YouTube channel, which means it is siloed and controlled by Google. Spotify also supports video but only in its app.

Ilya Birman:

So Marco described a problem. What if someone manually asks to download an episode when they already have three downloaded? You can’t just immediately delete it to keep things tidy. So what do you do? Marco added a special hidden “episode downloaded manually” flag to the database, so those episodes would not count towards the limit.

This is one more example of how even the most seemingly trivial features require thinking through and accounting for different cases that may not be obvious at first glance. Every user interface designer and product designer should collect and absorb examples like this.

[…]

Finally, Marco’s wife Tiff suggests a solution to all the problems: just don’t let users download more episodes, she said, and show them a message, roughly: “Your episode limit is three, but this would be the fourth, denied”.

Marco liked the solution. I didn’t. Sure, it solves Marco’s problems, but not the user’s.

Marcin Wichary:

Birman presents this as “Let me click,” but I wanted to offer two alternative/​complementary principles that helped me before:

  • Let me do things in any order. Here’s Google Home app, where I can change the temperature and the time for holding – but if I change the time first, it frustratingly resets when I subsequently change the temperature. It forces one specific order in an interface that suggests any order is okay[…]
  • The current action has the most momentum. The user is right there, active, tapping on things, wanting to get stuff done. If Overcast indeed throws a “your episode limit is three” message, then it forces the user to remember how to get to the settings and change it. The momentum is lost. The decisions of past me should not be as important as the decisions of present me.

Marco Arment:

FWIW, the entire strict-limit feature is gone in the pending update (awaiting App Store review). EVERYONE hated it.

Now I’m just displaying the added-manually status in the UI and allowing it to be toggled manually in the “…” menu.

Marco Arment:

I’ve needed to evolve my expectations for what my role in Overcast is.

After building up a large, passionate userbase over a very long time, it’s not really entirely mine anymore. I can’t just do whatever I want with it.

And the growth era of open/RSS/indie/whatever podcast apps is over. The business is now about serving and retaining my existing customers for as long as possible.

So I can add things here and there, very carefully, but I can’t really change anything significant.
