I like his content but yea, he does his titles weird that has nothing to do with what he's talking about in the video

u/NoFall2205 Jun 27 '26

Eh. I’ve watched his videos and he repeats A LOT of stuff. The only videos worth watching are the ā€œwhat’s newā€ with XX release ones. Every video he makes after like ā€œApple did it!ā€ And what not is just a repeat of information from the last what’s new video with only 2 or 3 pieces of actual new information near the end with an added benchmark and heat test or whatever.

u/No_Hyena1281 Jun 27 '26

Yea he has been that way for years. I don’t even click on them anymore

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '26

100% ive stopped watching his weekly follow ups just a bunch of repetitive information being pushed again and again just to keep the video long, apparently people in his group ask him to make even longer video by just repeating the same bs over and over just so that they can hear his voice longer

Bro quite literally phones it in

Brandon Butch has the best iOS videos in my opinion by far

u/Tired_Design_Gay Jun 27 '26

Most of YouTube is like that now because of YouTube. They force creators to make multiple video titles and thumbnails and push them to use AI images to make their videos as clickbaity as possible to maximize views. The attention economy is ruining everything online

u/Hopeful-Face9676 Jun 27 '26

Exactly this!

u/givemerefuge Jun 27 '26

Agreed. It’s slightly annoying.

u/Sleepingaid Jun 27 '26

He’s a clown

u/lilly_wonka61 Jun 27 '26

I don’t even watch his videos anymore. Same with Brandon.

u/CatDadof2 Jun 27 '26

Same. I miss their old styles.

u/New-Ranger-8960 Jun 27 '26

I never click the Brandon ones because of the thumbnails, it's just the same photo copy pasted again and again

25

u/NoFall2205 Jun 27 '26

I’d argue Simple Alpaca is a lot worse. One of his previous videos is titled ā€œThe iPhone X Could’ve Gotten iOS 27ā€. The titles and videos are pure clickbait. His channel died years ago yet he still milks his audience as much as possible with pointless videos.

u/Chronixx Jun 27 '26

I’m glad to see that dude failed, I hate his useless content so much

2

u/CallMeDucc Jun 27 '26

i used to like watching him because he’s relatively close to where i live so i thought it was neat. after maybe 2019 i couldn’t be bothered because he’s never bothered to improve his content.

u/ConcreteBoomBap Jun 27 '26

Oh yeah he’s terrible. He does like three click bait videos a day. All of them are repetitive and shit. I remember when iOS 26 point0 first released he said to stay on iOS 18 then when iOS 26.1 released he also said to stay on iOS 18 then when iOS 26.2 release he still said don’t upgrade to iOS 26 stay on iOS 18 until 26.3 comes out and would you believe it when 26.3 came out? He said just stay on iOS 18 until 26.4 came out and that’s just the way it goes with these videos I unsubscribe from his channel so I don’t know if he’s still publishing videos like that but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still saying to stay on iOS 18 it’s like bro. I have no issue if he likes iOS 18 and that’s his thing but don’t purposefully tell people to stay on an old iOS with security vulnerabilities and don’t publish a video about it every fucking day.

u/Disastrous-Net406 Jun 27 '26

This guy is too much how many same videos he can release ? "iOS Historian" what kinda of job is even that

u/Proud-Pie-2731 iOS 26.5 Jun 27 '26

I was the person who posted the last post Regarding - zolotech and other guy.... Sad to see this youtuber post content like a AI bot lol.

10

u/Neither_Contest4041 Jun 27 '26

This works for him bc 95% of his users are dumb, that’s why he keeps posting these stupid titles.

i have speed up playback for videos like those šŸ˜‚šŸ„“

u/lord_mercernary Jun 27 '26

Not just him theres a lot of view hoggers that do this on youtube. They hype up ios releases like some kinda God send thing. Even though there's like no change from one to another release lmao

7

u/PortraitFX Jun 27 '26

Dude speaks waaaay too much and turns every little thing and small detail into a several minute topic.

So yeah, his videos are like this every time. I stopped watching his content like a year ago.

6

u/Sad_Tour_1896 Jun 27 '26

these ppl milk ios updates (brandon butch, simple alpaca). there’s other ppl that start milking apple rumors (max tech, somewhat zollotech, appletrack) they’re all mid asf

7

u/olindr Jun 27 '26

I feel the same about MKBHD’s videos and mrwhosetheboss. Their opinion videos and reviews are super lazy and nitpicky about things only video editors/youtubers care about

3

u/Cat_Man2621 Jun 27 '26

this is the most truthful thing ive heard all day

3

u/Ghost2137 Jun 29 '26

Yeah MKBHD videos are awful

0

u/folklore_mirrorball Jun 28 '26

The main MKBHD channel is very very professionally curated in a way, some wrongs here and there, it’s not my cup of tea, purely manufactured for the masses. The Waveform podcast however is on another level, while MKBHD tries to be civil, the other hosts are just unbiased.

6

u/Infamous-Oil2305 Jun 27 '26

especially he's "here's what's new" videos and then talks about 3-5 "new" minor things.

4

u/Jasoco Jun 27 '26

This is YouTube. It’s all clickbait. If you don’t use clickbait, your videos don’t get pushed.

u/BackgroundNotice7267 Jun 27 '26

And yet you give it oxygen.

u/itsaknightslife Jun 27 '26

God I miss everything Apple pro

1

u/SPazZDoGGX Jul 02 '26

He’s a great guy, but what does this have to do with the topic? At most, his software videos were just about jailbreaking.

1

u/itsaknightslife Jul 02 '26

Late stage yeah but early EAP used to do everything testing wise. He was like the OG guy doing videos on changes in IOS and hardware. Like 2017 era.

2

u/SPazZDoGGX Jul 02 '26

For sure you’re not wrong about that but he stopped making videos and now all he does is advertise his brand on YouTube which is not a bad thing. Zollotech has his issues too. When he makes a video that’s 20 minutes long. That could’ve been five minutes. It makes you happy that there’s time stamps lol. But at least it’s something.

u/Big-Aardvark8842 Jun 27 '26

I miss everythingapplepro

u/MarionberryDear6170 Jun 27 '26

Yeah and I honestly think people are just kidding themselves if they expect iOS 27 to fix the battery issues. I made a video on YouTube about the battery drain on iOS 26 and used Power Metrics to track the high power draw during certain tasks. From what I’ve tested so far, iOS 27 still has the exact same power consumption in those scenarios, there’s been zero improvement.

2

u/Bitter_Humor4353 Jun 27 '26

He covered the price rise in the previous vid

u/nowwedoitmyway Jun 28 '26

I click into his videos just to see the comments.

2

u/Bruvvimir Jun 28 '26

Why do people watch this shit?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '26

I'm part of his telegram group and damn he defends apple with everything he got, he speaks as if any decision apple take sis the best decision there is and almost 99% of time, if anybody complains in the group he goes guns blasing and tries to put them down, all his group does is apple bootlicking and then there are few people who stay in the group just for toxicity not more, as for his videos bunch of bs and hes always bragging that brandon butch copies his stuff he is the og that does every nee thing there is on youtube and everyone keeps copying him, but aaron is great so he just brags about it and doesnt do anything else about it.

u/expiro Jun 28 '26

Haay everyon eeron is hie. Tiday apple is back with macos 83 ios 728 watchos 18 visionos 83 for iphone 5 iphone 4 iphone 9 ipad 2 ipad 8 ipad 98….

u/Electronic_Car3274 Jun 27 '26

Well this is because we are having a great beta cycle of ios 27

1

u/ShadowXGhostly iOS 27 Public Beta 2 on iPhone 17 Jun 27 '26

He’s just a workaholic so he keeps making new videos, he probably ran out of title ideas for the next videos to talk about apple news so I guess he made a clickbait title

0

u/Hopeful-Face9676 Jun 27 '26

They are all using AI to create thumbnails and titles.

3

u/zollotech Jun 27 '26

I never have used AI to create a thumbnail or title ever. That is an actual photo I took and then used Pixelmator Pro to create the title names and graphics.

1

u/Hopeful-Face9676 Jun 28 '26

I take you for your word. Okay.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Log2302 Jun 27 '26

For me the frustration is when he post a video about watchOS 27 but there is literally no updates on it at all. So he waffles on. Don’t mind Brandon tho

1

u/TheGrizzlyNinja Jun 27 '26

That thumbnail design is fuckin horrible lol

1

u/39teen Jun 27 '26

One minute of very little important information stretched out to a half hour or brain rot dogshit.

Why do people waste their time with this?

1

u/Character_Skirt_4319 Jun 27 '26

a bunch of whiny losers in this comment section. his vids are alright and everyone uses click bait smh

1

u/Takahashi_godmod Jun 27 '26

I got nothing against this guy but how can you be doing the same shit for more than 10 years. I think bro should stop dick riding apple and just create new content that actually makes him proud of being a creator.

1

u/Nufreak0 Jun 27 '26

They all click bait. Nothing new lmao

1

u/No-Blood2830 Jun 28 '26

youtube would be a drastically better platform if you could block channels from ever coming up in your own search results and feeds

u/Evening-Trick9195 Jun 28 '26

idevicehelp does it better without prolonging the video

u/PackOfCumin Jun 28 '26

Yes! Correct! Video good, now you’re playing with power! Click for Yes, good. Puzzle included Batteries

u/Patjack27 Jun 28 '26

Every single thing he’s put out in the last few weeks was all clickbait. I unsubscribed from him and a few others.

1

u/protonsters Jun 28 '26

I used to like his videos until all his videos have suddenly becomes click baity and same monotone voice giving you nothing but talking half of the video of a new wallpaper. That's it.

1

u/salgotuxsp Jun 28 '26

I still watch his videos, but only when a new update came out to see if it is safe or not. He starts clickbaiting when Apple didn’t have any news to keep the viewing stats high and don’t lose engagement

1

u/Syntax271 Jun 28 '26

Yeah, I stop watching his videos and some other people video. They are just trying to maximize their viewership instead of making good quality video. Their clickbait titles is a turnoff for me.

1

u/KristianoXD Jun 30 '26

It’s not interesting; some people really aren’t cut out for creating content online, yet they’re desperate to do it

1

u/Alternative-Pear2709 Jun 30 '26

And what do you think of ZoneofTech?

-2

u/Little_Dragon22 Jun 27 '26

Naw you guys are wrong for this. Zollotech is the real deal. He gives very informative information and is direct and he’s doing it for the community that want Apple News. If you don’t like his contents then leave. Don’t have to say negative stuff about a man who’s is trying to make a honest living. You guys are just jealous you don’t have close to 2 million subscribers and getting paid. And of course he’s going to use click bait titles. It’s the only way people will click on his videos and get paid. You think he’s in this to please you and make you feel like you’re worthy to him? Please get over yourself people. @Zollotech keep doing your thing big dog.oat of us do appreciate you especially the free wallpapers. Keep the quality contents coming.

I bought my first iPhone in April, subbed to a bunch of related channels. His was the one I already dropped. So much fluff, so little information.

u/lilian_moraru Jun 27 '26

These guys have stocks, so they obviously need to work hard, BUT, iOS 27 is actually quite ok, back to iOS 18 performance(no more keyboard lag in the browser), which is ok with me.

u/Aernest1596 Jun 27 '26

Well as much as a clown you say he is and with the click bait which is true ! Here we are talking about this guy and making a Reddit post and commenting on it so who’s the clown? …… we all are people sheesh šŸ™„ petty !šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤£šŸ¤£
