My daily driver is the iPhone 13 Pro. I’ve been an iPhone guy since 2015. Because I’m so entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever switch away from iPhone unless there’s a new Android that’s so compelling that it’s worth leaving behind the synergy between devices (iMessage, Airdrop, Apple TV integration, and a dozen other things).
Update (August 2022) – I’ve just bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro to test out as a “work phone”. I’m currently struggling with some level of work-life separation, so I thought I’d dabble with an Android device to see how it feels for some parts of my life.
Despite being a proponent of mostly digital apps, I do regularly use my favourite notebook, the Leuchterm 1917 along with the Uniball Air (and Uniball Air Micro ) , to jot down various thoughts and to-do lists. As it so happens, I have two videos where I talk more in-depth about why this pen and notebook are so amazing. Part of it has to do with delight, an idea that stands behind many of my purchases.
2022 Update – In addition to the Uniball Air, I’ve also now started using the Lamy Swift rollerball pen and the Lamy Safari fountain pen. I change it up depending on how I’m feeling, and carry both in my bag at all times.
One of the questions I get asked most in my comment sections are “What keyboard is that?”. Apparently this piece of kit is a hit with many viewers.
Here’s a full review of my favourite keyboard, the IQUnix F96 Coral.
In the keyboard department, I also own multiple copies of the Apple Magic Keyboard. I carry one in my bag at all times (for my Portable Productivity Desk Setup), and have one at home, while the F96 lives in the studio.
The 12.9 inch iPad Pro (with the delightful Magic Keyboard) is my daily driver, which I use to get most of my work and writing done. At this point I could honestly say I couldn’t live without it. However, the 12.9 inch version might not be for everyone, which is why I have a selection of videos covering anything and everything iPad for every budget range.
For any budding YouTuber, it’s always important to have a certain standard of quality. Phones nowadays are capable of some amazing feats of cinematography but nothing beats an old-school camera and my daily workhorse is the Sony A7 III. Works great with a Sony 24mm F/1.4 G-Master.
