50 Tech YouTube Shorts Ideas That Get Views (2026)

Tech Shorts work because people constantly want to learn new tricks for the devices and apps they already use. A quick "hidden iPhone feature" or "app you didn't know existed" provides instant value that viewers love to save and share.

Tech also commands premium RPMs ($10-20 per 1000 views) because advertisers in software, gadgets, and SaaS products pay top dollar. This makes tech one of the most profitable Shorts niches alongside finance.
