On this week&#39;s episode, I talk about DXOMARK, what they do, what their smartphone camera rankings actually mean, and what I think about them!Forgive the audio quality on this one since it was probably the quickest episode I made from idea to audio file. I also used ChatGPT as a tool to make the research part quicker.SHOW NOTES: <a href="https://utterlytechie.com/techiespeak-episode-23-dxomark-info-opinions/" rel="nofollow">https://utterlytechie.com/techiespeak-episode-23-dxomark-info-opinions/</a>Follow techieSpeak on: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-apple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>

We pick up where we left off from last week! While I said my problems with 17 smartphone brands* last week, I mention the good things about those same brands this week!Some of those good things are fairly minor (and is borderline good, to be honest). There are good things that are legitimately good and need to be recognized. This is what this episode is all about.*Disclaimer: It&#39;s every smartphone brand I could think of at the time. Hehe.SHOW NOTES: <a href="https://utterlytechie.com/techiespeak-episode-22-good-things-this-time/" rel="nofollow">https://utterlytechie.com/techiespeak-episode-22-good-things-this-time/</a>﻿Follow techieSpeak on: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-apple" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>

On this episode, I get more honest with my feelings......towards EVERY smartphone brand*!Yes, I dedicated this episode to sharing my problems with each of the smartphone brands that I managed to mention when preparing the script for this. Some of them are fairly minor, while others are basically the reasons why I would personally be discouraged from using the brands.*Disclaimer: It&#39;s every smartphone brand I could think of at the time.

This episode is a special one as I have a special guest! I invited Charm de Leon, a personal finance content creator, to the podcast so that I wouldn&#39;t be alone in sharing experiences about using an iPhone.We recorded this back in February, but I feel like it&#39;s really relevant now as next week&#39;s Apple event is coming up. Charm and I talk about how we first got iPhones, what our upgrade paths were, and a lot of aspects about owning an iPhone in the Philippines in terms of tech and even some personal finance mixed in!Check out Charm&#39;s YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/CharmdeLeon" rel="nofollow">youtube.com/c/CharmdeLeon</a>Follow the podcast on Spotify: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify" rel="nofollow">bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify</a>Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-apple" rel="nofollow">bit.ly/techiespeak-apple</a>Let me know on <a href="https://facebook.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>, or <a href="https://twitter.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> (@utterlytechie) as to what topics I should cover!

techieSpeak is BACK! And yes, I&#39;m putting out two episodes back-to-back this week!Since Apple&#39;s gonna hold its annual September event on September 7, 10AM Pacific Time, (that&#39;s September 8, 1AM Philippine time) I&#39;m gonna talk about something that always gets brought up when talking about iPhones.This episode focuses on why people say that iPhones are boring and why I personally don&#39;t care that it is and why you should probably care less than the haters do.Follow the podcast on Spotify: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify" rel="nofollow">bit.ly/techiespeak-spotify</a>Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://bit.ly/techiespeak-apple" rel="nofollow">bit.ly/techiespeak-apple</a>Let me know on <a href="https://facebook.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>, or <a href="https://twitter.com/utterlytechie" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> (@utterlytechie) as to what topics I should cover!

techieSpeak IS BACK!A lot has happened since I last did this podcast, but now is a good time as any to get back into it.
