Trying his favourite Apple accessories

[@macaddress]

Correction: at 7:56, it's stated that the 100W charger will charge any MacBook at the highest possible speed. This is true in almost all cases, unless you have a 16" MacBook Pro with a USB-C to MagSafe cable; this setup is capable of 140W charging. A standard USB-C to USB-C cable with this laptop will top out at 100W though, and any other MacBook model tops out below this regardless of the cable used. Would you put any of these 3rd party accessories in your idiot sandwi- I mean, tech bag? Let us know below!

[@Cirerin]

@@DT8888 Wrong, they are still using pinned corrections, they posted the levels of errors and how they correct them moving forward. Pinned comments is still one of them

[@OsaSoft]

Yeah... Kicking off after what happened with a video with a pinned correction isnt exactly great optics..... But all in all, great video, really enjoyed it!

[@rxpt0rs]

I don't see any problems here. The correction appears to be for a very minor error and I don't think this is going to significantly impact anyone's purchase decision. They've also made it clear that pinned comments are not going away but they will be more careful and use other, more obvious options for more severe errors. There are better things to worry about than an extremely minor inaccuracy. If you're concerned about this, I want to see the same level of concern in other channels.

[@arturia5976]

@@rxpt0rs More accurately I hope that @DT8888 have such perfect accuracy in whatever he/she does as from what I know even some of the best Subject Matter Experts I have worked with in my industry make mistakes every so often.

[@CateChapelle]

God this channel is so good. When I talked to Jonathan at LTX he said something along the lines of, “I just keep doing things and waiting for someone to tell me no,” and that absolutely shows here. I love that because Mac Address is somewhat separate from most other LMG channels it’s able to have totally unique video styles and formats. Keep up the good work, guys.

[@fluffmiceter1846]

"Yes Host" xD I love how accurate this is to Hell's Kitchen. MacAddress is my favorite Apple channel because of how unique the videos are, instead of just covering new iPhones and Macs all the time

[@arthuralford]

Well, "Yes, Chef" is the common way to address the head chef in a kitchen anyway. But changing it up to "Yes, Host" was funny

[@bandito241]

This is one of the reason this is the only Mac related channel I continually watch. They are not showcasing the new iPhone featured that was leaked today.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

this channel has been the gold standard for LTT videos for a while, a lot of care for that clean presentation & narrative flow that makes you interested in the subject, so i'm glad to see it return. also i love the goofyness of the Cooking Show spoofing

[@hazyproduct1692]

yes but bad information especially on find my

[@choahjinhuay]

The rest of LTT could learn much from MacAddress

[@hazyproduct1692]

Yes, they could learn about how to forget important information and fudge benchmark results. @@choahjinhuay

[@MrDevoro]

Even though the last time I've been an Apple user were the days of iPod touch gen 4, I really enjoy this channel. I love how different it is from the rest of the LMG channels, yet keeps the feeling of familiarity. Jonathan and Steven truly "think different" in the old school Apple meaning of those words! These guys really keep me interested about the products I'm not gonna use!

MACaddress was always a good model for what all LTT channels should be. They don’t upload daily, but when they do they are a hit on all marks.

Steven has brought the fun/ creativity this channel needed and now these are the videos I look forward to most from LMG. Love it.

This gameshow format is great, but there needs to be more than one contender! Add Dennis for just the giggles and would be perfect. :P

[@ijiikieru]

But it's not really about the format, it's about the products.

[@nickd7935]

Fantastic commitment to a great bit. While I generally enjoy MA's videos more than the rest of LMG, this one really stood out. The entire team that worked on this video should be proud of their work.

[@proximitea]

the editing on this video is randomly top notch and feels like a real professional tv station, unexpected!

[@nickkosareo56]

A+ commitment to the schtick, I was worried you would lean away from the bit after the opener but you really stuck with it. Absolutely the channel I was missing for last little bit. Glad to have it back.

[@zxcool4410]

The "It was presented to me backwards" had me dying haha. Thats exactly how these judges act. Any minor inconvenience is a major flaw.

[@2nd-place]

My problem with the odd brands on Amazon is that many of them aren’t UL listed or even CE and have issues with randomly catching on fire. As someone who had an electrical fire catch their house on fire, I’m really picky about what accessories I choose to bring into my home and share space with my only wife and only children. For that reason I pay a premium for things that have been properly tested and have a good track record as a brand.

[@bandito241]

“My only wife and only children” Interesting choice of words.

[@reapermonk3y]

If LTT had an awards show I’d nominate this for video of the year - so good hahaha

[@The_Linux_User]

I prefer the Seinxon wallet finder over the Chipolo one. Yes, you have to order straight from China and it takes a while but the big advantage is that it is rechargable unlike the chipolo which is just e-waste after 2-3 years. It works really well for me and the battery last quite a long time. I don't have it for that long though (just a few months) so I can't say anything about lont term durability Edit: It's also a few bucks cheaper Edit2: It does also not have precision finding

[@ikennahurike]

The ESR MagSafe Wallet (HaloLock) Geo iPhone Wallet is a really good alternative to the Apple MagSafe Wallet, itis cheaper, works with Find My, has a speaker, a stand and of course is rechargeable (3 months between charges). Highly recommended.

[@NickBachicha]

This is amazing!! The wallet presented to me backwards and Steve’s reaction to it had me literally laughing out loud. Love the Mac Addict videos.

[@FrankWong-fv6bq]

So true lol

[@Niptin]

It’s a shame that LTT has (understandably) blocked out Anker for charging accessories. They’ve really got the best alternatives

[@MrAwesomeTony]

TBH this is by far the best side channel of LMG. Please keep it that way.

[@kayel7541]

The fourth wall but at the end was great! 😂

[@zjpeterson]

I want a bedside charger for iPhone, Watch, and AirPods with landscape MagSafe for the iOS 17 StandBy Mode.

[@DukieBrain]

This is actually a show I'd love to watch. Honestly produce this for real. Make more of these please

[@King0fHero]

I don't own an iPhone (in fact not any Apple product) but I like to watch these Mac Address videos anyway because they are so entertaining and have such a high production value and this video has reached new hights 👏🏼

[@mattsnyder4754]

Anker’s little charger/power bank combo is by far my favorite “off brand” accessory. It will charge everything I own, act as a battery bank, and is actually from a real brand. It’s so good for travel.

[@UnknowinglyDerpy]

Yeah but LMG as a whole not just MA pretty much have sworn off the Anker brand for the foreseeable future so you won’t be seeing any of their products being suggested here

[@Soupat2]

It’s a shame they won’t use anker anymore. They would make some nice dishes.

[@SteffenThole]

Whoever thought of this, thank you! And well done to everybody involved in the production of this video

[@NickHR]

The anker 3in1 MagSafe charging cube is so compact, high quality, and fast charges Apple Watch even though it doesn’t say it does. Underrated product

[@enderium9651]

I actually think that the anker 622 portable MagSafe but not really charger is extremely useful, I personally have one and it lasted me 3 years now and with 5000mAH it has more power than the apple's MagSafe charger, the only downside is that is has 7.5Watts which i think is a good trade for 40USD less

[@mib5633]

jonathan's hair is growing out so well!! such a handsome guy :)

[@itzante2148]

Steven even stuck to the voice intonations that you get from contestants on cooking shows. Love this!

[@Radi0he4d1]

My favorite third party over Apple accessory are the Logitech iPad keyboards. I love the luxury fabric feel, opposed to the OEM flimsy plasticky keyboards

[@quincyamberson5719]

The things that were missed were basically a annker accessory. They are a relatively reputable brand, and have some pretty useful features.

New Mac Address video and a new BFDI video in one day. This is truly the day ever.

[@dharikw602]

Love this new format the stakes feel high while the editing/audio is so engaging and most humor and jokes land a truly master piece

[@URSet2Fail]

Glad to see you guys back after the LMG hiatus. I’m sure this video was waiting in the wings, but I hope your working environment has been improved as well. As far as better than Apple accessories, I’d say number one with a BULLET is Logitech’s keyboard for the 10th gen iPad. Because it is literally the same product but $100 cheaper, a place to hold the Apple Pencil and keyboard backlighting lol

[@Mister0Eel]

Even though I was not a fan of this video style, it does show perfectly why I love this channel: it does its own thing and does it well

[@arthuralford]

Once again Johnathan and Steven think out of the box, off the table, and over somewhere near the kitchen. A great homage to cooking shows, and as always the production, writing, and presentation are above the usual LMG product. And, I'd love to see Johnathan do like a guest host gig on Chopped, as he gives off wonderful Ted vibes

[@Paulkjoss]

Canadians do this kind of parody so well… Subtle, not overcooked, tongue quietly in cheek - classy 😊

[@jasonpoler]

Surprised not to see any Magsafe charging docks/stands since Apple is adding the docking feature.

[@rockaturbo]

That was really well crafted, I especially liked the apprentices cut aways commenting. Spot on to the "original" show. Very enjoyable :)

[@jessicawilson8240]

Idk how widely available it is but I bought and LOVE the terminal 2 MagSafe 3 in 1 wireless charger for $99.95 AUD - the Apple MagSafe duo is around $150 AUD and has one less wireless charging spot. This one has one MagSafe, one Apple Watch charger and one normal wireless charging spot so you can do iPhone Apple Watch and AirPods all at once. If has an extreme simple form factor and design to the Apple version and frankly convinced me against buying the Apple one.

[@P_Jason]

I'm not even an apple fan and I still think this channel has the best content of all the LMG channels.

[@BooleanDev]

my favorite accessories are: dbrand's Grip Case Ugreen 3 in 1 Charger (Mag Safe charging, any qi compatible earbuds, and apple watch) Ugreen's Mag Safe battery and for gamers, Flydigi Vader 3 Pro with the phone clip (would be cool if they made one for magsafe)

[@patrickperez1688]

The only channel that could convince me to watch anything Apple related

[@Fernando-ek8jp]

This was a very fun video. I knew the chef thing was just a bit, but the acting was good enough for me to forget that he wasn't actually competing with something on this video. It was, however, a very good way of introducing a possible host in a way that (at least for me), would make it easier to handle a change

[@ConcreteAdvisory]

You could have just made a simpler concept but the Master Chief mimic makes it so much funnier. And you seriously did it well lol ! GGs

[@Likeomgitznich]

Steven lucky he’s adorable because if anyone else said “host” that many times in a single video I’d do something really imaginative

[@UnluckyJellyfish]

I like this channel because it’s not about analytics or number. It’s just personalities

[@LievenHanssen]

These videos are the best of the entire LMG empire. I want to get as far away as possible from the Apple ecosystem, but still I keep on watching this channel.

[@mikefung9145]

Amid the whole LTT inaccuracy situation, This is the only LMG channel that has the best baseline

This is, I think, the best LMG video I’ve seen since I discovered LTT years ago! So creative and high quality!!!

[@Olfan]

For our veritable host of lightning-powered devices we use magnetic charging cables inspired by the old MagSafe. You plug a tiny mag dongle in once and just permanently leave it inside the charging port, prolonging its life exponentially while keeping it from accumulating dirt. To charge, you just mag-snap a cable on it, and when you're done, yank it off. They come very cheap so we've been distributing them all over the place to charge our family's worth of iPhones and iPads. (These cables will not transmit data, they're just for charging.)

[@adrianwillis2874]

For the MagSafe wallet I would have recommend the ESR MagSafe Wallet Geo with find my device built in. It also plays sound which the Apple MagSafe wallet does not. It also has an adjustable kickstand and strap to run your finger through. Plus it has stronger magnets. All for $45
