techieSpeak: Recent Episodes
Jullian Sibi
This is an Utterly Techie podcast where Jullian Sibi speaks his mind on various tech topics for techies and non-techies alike.
New episodes pop up every Saturday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen to podcasts!
On this week'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.

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's every smartphone brand I could think of at the time. Hehe.

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.

I got to talk to two of the guys that usually talk about the new realme products during launches. They are Anthony and Jimm from the realme Philippines team!
We talk about their MWC 2023 experience, the recently-launched realme GT3, and a lot of tech stuff in between!
I would like to thank realme Philippines for the opportunity!

Hello guys! Jullian here.
Been a while since I recorded a podcast! Just wanted to give you guys an update on why I haven't been doing any podcasting lately.
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR: I AM COMING BACK TO PODCASTING.
It just took me so long to even start planning, let alone record. I'm moving techieSpeak to Fridays while my new podcast will take up the Saturday slot. New episodes are coming soon, so stay tuned!
Until then...
Enjoy your tech, enjoy your coffee, enjoy life!
On this special episode of techieSpeak, I got to talk to Alma Alvarez, Director of Global Threat Response of Trend Micro.
We talked about how cybersecurity has changed as we enter the new normal, whether future technologies like AR and VR will make that even more complicated, and a lot more in between!

On this week's episode, I give my thoughts on whether Apple is pricing out its customers or not. We've been seeing price hikes for Apple products around the world (except in US and China) and I wanted to find out if there's more to this than just corporate greed.

Hello! Jullian here!
I just wanted to leave an update on the state of the techieSpeak podcast. It's been a really tough time for me to balance between the increasing workload in my day job AND the review backlogs I have.
Hope you understand and I'll be back with new episodes starting...
...later today! See you then!

This week's episode is all about my raw reactions to the Apple event! I recorded this right after said event and I gave my first thoughts about everything the company announced including the new Apple Watches, the iPhone 14 lineup, and the NEW AirPods Pro. (Low-key excited for that last one!)

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't be alone in sharing experiences about using an iPhone.
We recorded this back in February, but I feel like it's really relevant now as next week'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!

techieSpeak is BACK! And yes, I'm putting out two episodesback-to-back this week!
Since Apple's gonna hold its annual September event on September 7, 10AM Pacific Time, (that's September 8, 1AM Philippine time) I'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't care that it is and why you should probably care less than the haters do.

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. In this episode, I talk about OnePlus now having an official presence in the Philippines and how it isn't the OnePlus I wanted to see.
From its "Never Settle" origins to being absorbed into OPPO, I talk about the good and bad that entails. I also give my thoughts on my "cautious optimism" of OnePlus being officially present in the country.

Hello! Happy 2022!
It's been almost 2 months since the last episode. I wish this update was a more upbeat one, but I can't really bring myself to do that. Due to the aftermath of Typhoon Odette (Rai) to our place, plans for the future of this podcast has changed.
techieSpeak WILL BE BACK! It'll just take longer for me to start back up than expected. Hope you guys understand!

I'm taking a break from the usual episodes to feature some episodes of my other podcast, The Creator Life, featuring tech content creators!
First up is Mary Bautista, one of the biggest tech YouTubers today with over 1.6 million subscribers!
I got to talk to her on the podcast in November 2019 about her journey to where she is today. From her start on YouTube to now focusing on tech and collaborating with the TechMob, we talked about a lot of interesting topics regarding tech and being a content creator.

On this week's episode, I FINALLY talk about 5G! Or at the very least, whether you should get a 5G phone right now or not.
I talk about what 5G is, which telcos in the Philippines have it, the pros and cons of getting a 5G phone now, and tips on what to do before getting a 5G phone.

The three telcos in the Philippines will finally roll out the Mobile Number Portability service in the country. This is in response to Republic Act 11202, also called the Mobile Number Portability Act.
What is mobile number portability? And how does this help mobile phone users in the country? All that and more on this week's techieSpeak episode!

Disruption is a word not to be taken lightly. We see it a lot in the tech industry that we're not even sure if it is truly a big change from what we're used to.
Today, realme just launched the realme GT Master Edition and the realme Book in the Philippines and I didn't wanna talk about these new devices alone. I have Dom Nacorda, PR Manager, Anthony So, Content Manager, Jarrell Lim, Product Marketing Officer - AIOT, and Jimm Gayo, Product Marketing Officer - Smartphone of realme Philippines to come along for the ride!
I'm glad to have these four to talk about these disruptive new devices and what we can expect from them.
Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we had fun recording it! Special thanks to Dom for helping me set this interview up!

Inspired by the recent release of the Xiaomi 11T Pro with its 120W Xiaomi HyperCharge, this week's episode is about fast charging!
My first experience with it was through VOOC Flash Charge on the OPPO F9. I'm gonna talk about why there's a need for fast charging, and the different ways phone makers implement the feature.

The California Streaming Apple event has come and gone. I didn't want to wait until Saturday to post my raw reactions to the event, so here's a special episode!
I recorded this right after the Apple event so my thoughts on the new products are raw. I'm really excited for a certain product here, but you'll have to listen to find out which one!

We finally got the invites to the Apple event!
On this episode, I share my expectations for this "California streaming" event. These include the obvious ones like the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7. I'll be sorting them from the most likely to least likely.

This wasn't supposed to be the topic this week, but recent events just made it so.
I was inspired by two YouTube videos to talk about embargos. Did you ever wonder why a lot of videos pop up when a phone gets launched? That's because they were under an embargo and it just got lifted!
Know more about how embargoes work in the tech industry, my experience about that, and more!

Welcome to techieSpeak!
It only took me three years since starting The Creator Life, but I'm finally doing a tech podcast!
Since tech itself is really HUGE, I can't possibly check out every single aspect of it. This is why I'm sharing my specific passions in tech on the first episode. This one will give you some idea as to what kinds of topics I would probably talk about on techieSpeak.
Hope you enjoy this first episode!
