Macrumors has very little " news" to report on. They have to over play 100% of what apple does to drive views. This yellow iphone is ugly as sin. It looks like an old banana laffy taffy. How did this make it through marketing.

I've watched these Macrumors Shows for a while now and no offence but I have to say: stop this right now and rethink the format!
Maybe its my European view in television productions, but if MR really wants a TV news show it should not be like all the other Youtube "talking heads" shows in which one tiny bit of news is overstretched for an hour. It would be better to keep it monthly so that there's is really one or two stories to tell. And certainly not constantly having to look at 3 rambling "journalists" in vertical video.
