The days when people can go into an Apple store and pick out exactly what they want are long over. Nowadays, many new tech companies are emerging, and it gets hard to pick out what people exactly want. From the Nothing phone 2a to the iPhone 16e, and even from the Pulsar X2 to the Ninjutso Sora v2, people can not afford the time and money to test each product, and it gets hard to decide what to buy when they eventually need to upgrade. However, what they can decide on is which tech influencer they watch to get their reviews. Here are some of the greatest black tech influencers to follow:
Marques Brownlee

A YouTuber with over 19.8 million subscribers, Marques Brownlee, or MKBHD, is the guy who people always look for when they are in need of a review. MKBHD reviews a plethora of tech categories ranging from phones to headphones to laptops to cars to watches. Anything that is not niche, this man has the people covered. His combination of smooth animations and breathtaking cinematography has every video editor drooling and viewers demanding more content, even when they have finished researching their product.
His latest review, titled “iPhone 16e Review: Who Are You,” has generated over 6.3 million views and pokes fun of Apple and their impressively out of touch pricing through a little skit he does at the intro. Nevertheless, whether you’re an Apple fanboy or an Apple hater, you will be hooked on the non-niche reviews that MKBHD puts out.

Cars with Miles

Miles Somerville, or Cars with Miles, is what happens when someone combines the wit of Marques Brownlee with cars. Cars with Miles is a YouTuber with over 354 thousand subscribers and is the guy to check out if one seeks the satisfying B-rolls of MKBHD but desires an auto focused channel. The eye-catching color grading, the breathtaking presentation of cars, and the enthusiasm that Miles displays when talking specs, can have viewers scrolling through every single one of his videos even if that car costs as much as a 3-story house.
Even someone who is not familiar with the auto industry can become mesmerized once they come in contact with Miles’s hilariously relatable jokes that he manages to incorporate seamlessly with the topic of cars. His latest review, titled “The 12 Cilindri Spider is Ferrari’s Best Car… For Now,” begins with an incredible cinematic shot of the Ferrari Spider cruising through a lush green road with its V12 engine massaging the viewer’s ears. This addicting portrayal of cars will leave viewers with a newfound hobby and possibly tens of thousands of dollars down.

Judner Aura, or UrAvgConsumer focuses on non-niche products but with a side of gaming. A YouTuber with over 3.29 million subscribers, UrAvgConsumer reviews tech in an unique way that is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. While Judner does incorporate breathtaking animations, his reviews are not filled to the brim with all the bells and whistles of fancy B-rolls or cinematic shots like Miles and Marques. Instead, he reviews tech in a more organic way as if he were a friend showing off his brand new Steam Deck. The way he talks more to the viewer than about the product gives off a friendly and chill mood to all of his reviews. Despite being the main figure in UrAvgConsumer, Judner also encourages his team to take part in his reviews, akin to how a friend might encourage the viewer to try out his new Steam Deck.
His review titled, “The REAL Steam Deck Replacement Is Here,” shows off his Legion Go S in a mellow way, with his voice almost tucking the viewer in bed. These warm and seemingly person-to-person reviews will certainly leave the audience eager to hear more about Judner’s next video.
CarterPCs

Fresh out of high school, CarterPCs, or Carter Smith, is the talk among young tech enthusiasts. Carter is a TikToker with over 5.7 million followers who rides the waves of whatever tech is popular. From gaming PCs to IEMs, from AI to graphics cards, Carter is the definition of a tech lover. Like every young creator on TikTok, Carter displays a strong sense of humor and his chaotic nature will keep the viewer glued to his short formed reviews, dying of laughter. Unlike tech influencers on YouTube who cater towards a more mature audience, Carter relies on his fun and approachable personality to grab the short attention span of teenagers who depend on Subway Surfer footage.
For example, in his short titled “Well Mr.___ thanks for watching I guess,” Carter reveals how his teacher had been secretly watching all his shorts on AI and his disbelieving face has viewers both laughing and in realization that their own teachers might know about all the techniques they use.
In another example, titled “Apple it’s not too late to invite me,” Carter sneaks around Apple Park in an attempt to get the latest info about an event after Apple banned him from the reviewers list due to his clumsy way of handling review products. The hilarious act of wearing binoculars to peek inside in order to get the latest scoop had viewers eagerly waiting to see the outcome of this suspenseful journey.
As Carter transitions from high school to the adult world, he continues to cater towards the audience he grew up with. Instead of talking about AI and the different ways to “get around it,” Carter is beginning to review more mature products such as his Tesla. Nevertheless, whether someone is a teenager or young adult, Carter’s relatability and his chaotic spin on reviews will keep them hooked even without Subway Surfers.
Flossy Carter

A YouTuber with 2.04 million subscribers, Flossy Carter, or Ahmad Malik, is a Brooklynite who mainly reviews an assortment of phones and audio gear. His down-to-earth and no nonsense approach have made him a fan favorite among tech enthusiasts. He reviews every product with his true thoughts and is brutally honest about any product that he deems is not worth the time of his viewers.
In his review of the iPhone 16e, titled “iPhone 16E – The Best Phone of 2025,” Flossy Carter drags his viewers into a state of confusion by telling them that the iPhone 16e is the best phone to buy in 2025. However, he abruptly ends that state of confusion when he follows up with “- if you’re a banana head,” and proceeds to dunk on every aspect of the phone. He even goes as far as to reply to those who comment that the phone is perfect for the kids with “yeah if you hate your kids” and “they are gonna get cooked. They are gonna get roasted.”
Flossy Carter’s brutal and relatable personality combined with his hilarious jokes can get viewers rolling around, laughing non-stop. On more positive reviews like his “Sony WH-1000XM5 – The New King of Noise Canceling Headphones,” Flossy Carter shares exceptionally insightful thoughts on the XM5s while still incorporating his hysterical jokes smoothly. Although Flossy Carter might not have all the fancy B-rolls and cinematic shots, his comical jokes, the best in the world, paired with the constant interruptions of White Shoes, his cute cat, will have viewers dying for more fun from his reviews.
