BTTR Roundup #56: Apple vs Samsung (September 2025 Invite edition)
Apple and Samsung events, new vacuum cleaners launching and DJI's latest wireless microphone: It's a big week for tech in this week's BTTR Roundup.

Apple sent out invites to its "Awe-dropping" September event this week, which means we're getting set for the pointy end of the year where iPhones and Pixels and Galaxies collide. To prove my point, Samsung followed with invites to its own event, while embargoes lifted on reviews of the latest Pixel phones.
The next few months are set to be full of bold claims and dramatic headlines as brands try to capture your attention (and money) in the lead-up to sale season and Christmas.
As always, I'll be trying to break through the marketing speak to identify the good and the bad of products and deals, and I'd love your support to do that.
If you can, consider becoming a paid subscriber. You'll get complete access to all premium content and an ad-free web experience.
But even if you can't justify subscribing, I'd still love your support. Tell your friends and family about BTTR, and follow BTTR across social media.
Are you thinking about upgrading to this year's iPhone models? Let me know in the comments below!
It's been a big week for me, so rather than deep dive on a tech issue, I'm going to compare the actual invites from Apple and Samsung. I'm also opening up the this week's Roundup experience for all members. Let me know what you think.
Until next week
