Every Mistake I Made in 2025

MKBHD audits every factual error from his 2025 tech reviews, finding ~15 mistakes across specs, claims, and benchmarks despite a dedicated fact-checking stage.

• MKBHD added a formal fact-checking stage to his production process in early 2025 but still found ~15 errors across 50+ long-form videos.
• Nothing Phone 3’s official reviewer guide listed 2160Hz PWM dimming; a pre-release firmware update changed it to 960Hz the day before embargo.
• In the Xiaomi SU7 review, he used yuan-converted pricing for Xiaomi but US list price for Tesla, creating a ~$9K apples-to-oranges gap.
• Cross-platform AnTuTu scores between Android and iPhone are not comparable; he used them anyway to argue Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 rivaled Apple Silicon.
• Samsung engineered a thinner, wider vapor chamber that fits inside the S25 Edge; MKBHD incorrectly said the phone sacrificed the vapor chamber entirely.
• Beats told MKBHD in a pre-release briefing that Power Beats Pro were the world’s best-selling headphones; they meant best-selling within the Beats lineup.
• He wrongly stated the iPhone 17 base lacked mmWave 5G; caught it post-upload and removed the line using YouTube’s built-in video editor.
• Inspired by Tom Scott’s 2023 error-audit video; cites Hanlon’s razor to rebut conspiracy claims that errors are deliberate engagement bait.
