With Apple you can`t be honest. Their PR just cut you off. On that note, take iPhone reviews from your favourite YouTubers and outlets with a pinch of a salt.
Did they cut you off?
Why are you lying? Most big tech YouTubers criticise apple properly, you just trying to force a narrative.
Take all reviews from your favorite reviewers with a pinch of salt. Everyone has their own biases. I always watch 4-5 different reviews. Usually MKBHD, Mr Mobile, LTT, The Verge, and then maybe a couple more that pop in the recommendations.
Yeah i noticed this with ,his video on iPhone 13 he didnt criticised the phones that much? But he certainly did that to the s21 family when it came out. Its just sad
TBH, iPhone reviews can be summed up in one minute. We just need to say that "the new iPhone is same like everything that we got in last year`s iPhone plus the new features are XYZ"
Even MKBHD is sold out !!
You just jealous them
reminder that marques called doubling the price of the 16" mbp with the max cap ssd a "good price"
Never listen to reviews that drop around the same time as the phone. Never listen to reviews that include a giveaway of the product being reviewed. If you want a new phone, wait 2-3 months and then watch some comparison reviews free from PR influence/embargo rules
They`re a bit like the Chinese gov`t, very self-serving and unable to handle even honest criticism.
Tomi says this every September
You think any large company will be dead honest and not do their best to sneakily promote their product? Samsung are not clean either. Some celebrity endorsements gone wrong 95% of reviewers are a part of apple`s PR team.
They`re now a point where they just don`t care anymore about some creators as long as they have some "other" creators.
Wait you mean this isnt going to be the best ever ever created?!?
THIS!! All companies do this btw and it`s likely regional. Like Apple India or Apple china may be different. But in the US it looks like Apple want youtubers to join a cult or smth. When youtubers finally give the iphone a criticism, they would conclude by saying that it doesnt
I only watch a couple of tech influencersbut the big ones that I do watch do genuinely seem to give truthful reviews. and mainly.
MD5 + A singular salt.
Literally every tech youtuber I watch does express some critics about Apple. Mrwhostheboss, MKBHD, Jon Rettinger, Jon Morrison, Zollotech, Sara Dietchy.
Zoomers discovering the world.
Now I know why these guys like Marques and Arun always gives a pass on medicre stuff from Apple, and actually make excuses for it. While on other brands, like Samsung, they criticize it openly with conviction.
Apple giving out review units has been an extremely rare thing in the past. Only top publications and reviewers get them sometimes. If you notice, most if not all of the big tech YouTubers preordered their own phones yesterday and werent given review units. Ur statement is false
That is why had to beg Apple to start a dialogue for them getting review units, again, a while back. Hahaha.
I only trust reviewers who buy their own phones.
Wow, if they only want positive coverage, they should pay and the video should be labelled as sponsored. Huawei and others eerrhhmm..
They all are part of the marketing team now.. can`t trust a single reviewer
Wow not been my experience at all. In fact, one of the only tech brands that hasnt indirectly tried to influence content. Cant say that about many others. Also one of the reasons I dont cover all major smartphone manufacturers.
been waiting for iphone 13 hands on review but seems everyone has an embargo going on.
Ouch. Always thought this was the case. Considering many of those who are critical of Apple never get any samples. i.e: zoneoftech, snazzy labs.
Don`t know why people don`t know this. Like I`ve said, youtuber sells phones. Imagine if you all were actually honestly about 99% of your phone reviews, it would make the companies push harder to give us better products because they wouldn`t have a choice.
I`m glad you wrote this and I noticed both and mentioned this in a recent YouTube video too. It`s mad you can`t be impartial, even if it`s valid.
Took me a couple of times to read it and still didn`t notice the error
Lol whats happened have Apple John Wicked you
I think there`s an element of that with any product review sample. In the perfect world, all brands would want to see is a `fair` review. But what`s `good` and offers value for money is very subjective. Certainly buying them yourself does make you more impartial.
Get an Android instead. Specifically an LG if you can still find them.
Its clear why mrwhosetheboss didnt criticise apple about review embargoes but talked about Samsung and other brands. Look what happened to Lew after making the bendy iPhone vid, brother in the trenches rn.
In fairness you shouldnt take any you tubers who are given units from anybody free with any worth. Its the small channels who buy the devices is who you should listen to.the people who get free units are just going to tell you what those companies want you to say
Guessing you said something and now you`re cut off ?
is that why they never call me?
