Ijustine

Regardless of what he says about iPhones I find his videos very irritating due to the fact he shouts and over dramatises everything he says. I appreciate he’s popular but I tend to watch the first 30 seconds of his videos and decide it’s time to search again.

For me, Lou speaks the truth. As much as I love my apple products, we apple fans get hosed many times from apple, and Lou is not afraid to call it like it is. If that means no invite to apple's party, so be it. Another reviewer in the same vein is Chris Perillo.

They are both over dramatic. I mean I understand that Chris doesn’t like the notch and doesn’t like the aesthetics of iOS 7 onwards but does he really need to keep making vomiting guestures all the the time.

Watch review is up

Can that really be called a "review"?

And this is why Apple only sends certain people their products.

He’s just some winging idiot who hasn’t grown up beyond school pupil age yet...
His style is total shock and awe and to slander and create flame wars as much as possible, shame as his early videos weren’t too bad, but now unless it’s cheap and Android, he’ll slag it off..
[doublepost=1537389522][/doublepost]I like Mobile Tech Review. Lisa actually uses the products, she also isn’t afraid to be negative, she openly stated she went back to her ore USB C MB Pro because of dongle hell! A real person who doesn’t sell out.

Lou sold out?

 

[Sylon]

I don’t watch iJ for informative, in-depth tech reviews because chances are I’m already well informed about whatever she’s talking about. I watch her because she’s entertaining and her videos are actually well done. Doesn’t hurt that she’s pretty either.

Why is he confusing ppi with screen resolution

They are not same. Shouldn’t he know the difference?

Not only that but Lisa actually is fairly credentialed. For a YouTuber, she has real gravitas.

I watch Justines video’s for many years. It all started with that phonebill video and ever since then I followed her.

To be honest, I think Justine is very entertaining. I like that she thinks out of the box. It’s not a review, but she shows what it would be to use the device as an average user.

And I like her enthusiasm. I’d love to have someone who’s so positive and hyped as a friend. Yes, I am a man, but I don’t like blondes so much. So it’s not for the looks

 

[apolloa]

Lou sold out?

He seems to have done so to every manufacture of cheap Android phones these days.

Another thing I find just plain stupid with You Tubers, is when they spend over 100 grand on a camera! I am of course talking of those like MKBHD who BUY Red cameras and equipment, for You Tube.. only for You Tube to downsample their videos a lot!
All I hope is they actually put the same equipment directors use to make films like The Avengers to proper use, not just their You Tube videos for which a 500 dollar camera would produce the same quality!

That idiot Linus Tech Tips is another one, I think he spent over 130 grand in RED kit? Why?..

It’s not a review. It’s an unboxing video.

Damn he’s so annoying.

 

[Bako-MacAddict]

I been following her for years already. She just a gal that loves apple products. She gets excited over them lol. I just finished watching her latest video, was pretty entertaining. She made me laugh a couple times actually.

I understand she might be too much for some people. Let her be her, then again, her eyes hypnotise me

 

[MacOSphere]

To the last poster's point, I mean she's all in Apple (not a bad thing). She's like Tailosive Tech but tolerable for longer than 15 seconds but maybe not longer than a few minutes.

That's fair, right?

 

[Skeptical.me]

I think there's a difference between being able to memorize a spec sheet and actually being learned about technology. There are a lot of 'glorified unboxers' on YouTube, not mentioning anyone specifically.

Two specific individuals that I think make a true concerted effort to do thoughtful reviews about products and are not really too concerned about having their videos up first, before everyone else, are MrMobile [Michael Fisher] and MobileTechReview [Lisa Gade].

Its a fine balance between technological knowledge, entertainment, and effectively showing the devices capabilities on camera. Most unboxers on Youtube don't achieve that that I've seen.

 

[applewatch]

Why make this thread? She is popular, an influencer, and has long had fun videos about Apple

Ahh, that memorable AT&T phone bill in a box!

 

[swarlos]

Damn he’s so annoying.

Haha seriously was just going to make a thread about this video. He annoys me so much when he does videos about the iPhone because he just doesn’t get it.

We don’t care if the Poco phone or the one plus 6 or whatever all have higher PPI it’s all about the software cause Android sucks!

 

[ForumChick]

I was wondering why do Apple bother sending her a iPhone X to unbox or review? You might as well ask the cat.

You have other good youtubers like unbox therapy and others who don’t get a review version yet ijustine somehow manages to get one when she’s irrelevant when it comes to talking tech or reviewing it.

What kind of sexist nonsense is?

Haha yup! And wtf is a poco phone?!

Apple never forgave him for igniting bendgate.

Did you really think Apple would send someone who hates Apple products a phone to review?

 

[swarlos]

They are not same. Shouldn’t he know the difference?

Because the only point he made is that the iPhone XR still has the same resolution as the 8 year old iPhone 4.

But doesn’t mention that the new iPhone has a higher resolution, is all screen except for the notch, has a very powerful chip and awesome battery life.

No he can’t say that because he’s jealous and mad about not getting any of the new phones for free like ijustine, Jon Morrison, mkbhd.

"Hey, we just dumped a massive amount of time, money, and resources into our brand new product...could you please crap all over it?"

 

[Nanotyrns]

Ok everythingapplepro then?

Surely he can’t hate Apple. Unboxtherapy is usually critical of everything. Which is refreshing then listening to yes people like MKHD and ijustine. I rather listen to someone who is saying what they truly feel then someone just hyping it up. If you tell someone to review the product they need to be honest about it.

Apple drew criticism for having her and other fashion oriented bloggers review the iPhone X last year but really it's brilliant. They love to appeal to people that just use their phones. Especially since it's camera focused this year and they would love to tap into the crowd that posts endless selfies across social media through influencers (yes, I hate that word too) and popular YouTubers.

We here love knowing every single new feature and how it was implemented and the tech behind it and it's development but we're far outnumbered by people that just use their phones and those fun features and dig pretty accessories and stuff. Apple wants to sell phones and doesn't want to miss an opportunity by appearing to only appeal to hardcore tech dudes.
