  • I think you’d be surprised at how many people really obsess over having the best camera in their phone. Apple wouldn’t be spending the majority of their damn conferences talking about it now for nothing.

    I can also confirm this as I have family that is majority from Cali. All they do is take thousands of fucking photos on their iPhones and if my Mom upgrades, it’s usually because it “gets slow” or she wants the better camera.

    As a nerd it’s a shame, because if I could have a smartphone with no front facing camera and a shitty rear one, I would. But I’m in a minority.


  • He does review them at least from what I’ve seen recently…but yeah, he has been a lot more hands off over the last two years or so. I’m not sure what’s happened. He used to be the king of tech back in 2017-2018. I started watching him in 2014, as a teen. For a long time people loved him and he was great, but more and more people now seem to dislike him. To an extent I get it. Something has changed in his content over the last two to three years I think.


  • That’s your opinion.

    I don’t really give a damn about the Apple vs Android argument anymore. I was there when the first iPhone came out in 2007 and I’m over it. This flame war has gotten old.

    That being said, he has critiqued Apple many times in the past for specific things. Even said the dynamic island felt gimmicky at times and wasn’t sure how well it would hold up. Also shat on the Touchbar for being useless.

    So he has critiqued Apple. But let’s be real, what the fuck are you seriously going to critique on a modern iPhone? The modern smartphone has evolved so much that what else is there to add beside new hardware and sometimes gimmicky technology? You’d be hard pressed to find a “bad” phone now. I don’t get excited for iPhones anymore. Not because they’re bad. And yes you can critique the small things. But at the end of the day, an iPhone…is an iPhone. It’s not amazing or revolutionary anymore. It just “is”. And oh hey, here’s a bigger battery this year. Cool.
