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!

@@DT8888 Bet you're really fun at parties....

[@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.

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.

[@wobblysauce]

Good to be different

[@undefinedbackslasher]

That's what keeps me coming back.

[@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.

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.

[@ReluctantSpirit]

& also less obnoxious than LTT

[@Naviss]

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

[@Scoop9599]

Yeah, as executed it was slightly off putting, though not enough to stop watching. But I prefer Jonathan’s normal format.

[@LangleyNA]

I agree. I feel this is a one-off. Bi-annually, maybe.@@Scoop9599

[@ijiikieru]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@OsaSoft]

Absolutely loved this one. The parody format was so good 😂 great job

[@SANSd20]

On top of that, they took this bit seriously. That added to the quality of the bit.

[@Conz_duh]

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

[@ervin9805]

[@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.

[@kayel7541]

This is my favorite LTT channel! I love the style of your content.

[@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.

[@PAPO1990]

The format was fun, but would be VERY tiresome if used with any regularity, Great video, loved it, maybe every one and then we'll see parodies of OTHER reality shows ;)

[@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.

[@itzante2148]

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

[@mateus_bandeira]

This video is delightful to watch. Whoever came up with the concept deserves a raise. Everyone involved in this video should be proud!

[@ervin9805]

cringed so hard watching this

[@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.

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

[@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

Just bought the Chipolo Card Spot Wallet Finder from Amazon, looking forward to using it. Hopefully it fits my wallet well enough.

[@chiptunememories5717]

I get LTT not wanting to work with Anker anymore, but you can't pretend they don't exist like this entire video did. Their magsafe battery deserved a spot here.

[@blackfistdeath1]

What happened between LTT and Anker?

[@GianniLeonhart]

Agree! personally I have not problem with them showing the products from Anker and then stating their views on the company and why they do not endorse them That way you show the audience a product that possibly benefits them and at the same time you spread the word on Anker's not so good practices, I see that as a win-win

[@jsupensky]

I am shocked that anker products are not in there... Wonder of they'll address it? 🤔

[@MikeBeauchamp]

Guess I missed the falling out with Anker. I thought they were still a sponsor. They’re the best aftermarket for anything power-related.. and arguably better than first-party Apple in many cases. An obvious omission that calls into question the credibility of the rest of the recommendations. You’re telling me a fat, thick, heavy, YSR or ESR or whatever it was called is better than the Anker MagGo? Not a chance.

[@KirbyNPenguins]

Great video! Only problem I have with the products shown is the one from Mophie; it unfortunately does not charge as fast as other portable wireless charging solutions. The high price tag is not particularly worth.

[@qwer1234564]

I have to say that I really appreciate the content and style of these videos. These are well done.

[@jordanbark5682]

Guys, this video is hilarious. Good job! it's not even over yet. I don't think i've ever laughed at one of your videos before. It feels good. Great job!

[@Rithari]

Important note on the Mophie Travel Charger, the Apple Watch charger does not support the faster charging introduced with the series 7.

[@andrewthebner2210]

I love the green phone case he has. What is it?

[@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

[@Forcemaster104]

Absolutely amazing video, loved every second of it! The creativity and artistry behind these Mac Address videos is insane!

[@th3d471]

What about the status audio 3anc earbuds. Given their claims would love an LMG vid on them.

[@acegreatprank]

The "ad breaks" really committed to the bit! Hilarious and brilliant

[@crt5866]

this channel always has such a fun different vibe from all the other ltt channels

[@KingindaNorth]

There is literally an Anker variant of this at similar price point. The magsafe powerbank. Granted its only 5000mah its still solid

[@Humanjerky88]

This video earned you a new sub! Great stuff dude keep up the good work, this was highly entertaining 😂

[@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

[@abhishekpr2935]

Great content and analogy 😂 love u guys ❤

[@DukieBrain]

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

[@Cookienose]

anyone else notice that at 9:40 10,000mah sounds dubbed over. New error checkers working?

To be honest I'm not a huge Apple fan, don't like the iPhone and IOS but had to try the M1 MacBook. When I wanted to buy one I checked Out your videos and even though I'm not really interested in anything I still love the way you present it. From location to Skript I'm just hooked.

How about the Anker MagSafe PowerBank with a kickstand?

[@jaysonesguerra]

The commercial break moment at 11:42 was so perfect

[@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

[@StrivingForPerfection]

ESR makes an amazing transparent case that has a kickstand built into the camera bump surround. I have it for my 14 pro. It does yellow but it’s cheap enough to just replace when it does.

[@Metroidam11]

[@o.b.a6035]

I like that this channel has such a variety of video styles so today was kinda reality show audition and it was parodic, funny, and enjoyable😄 I can't wait for the 2nd half of this episode🤩

I loved the humorous way this video was shot to mimic the cooking shows on TV. Great idea, really well executed, and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.

[@harrisonmudge]

The way this was presented really grew on me. The disappointment of the phone case with card space made chuckle 😂

[@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

[@psphacker57]

Lmao the Hell’s Kitchen intro was amazing, thumbs up from me!
