That's her. She's ALWAYS been like that. That being said, I personally think she is authentically excited about Apple products. Nothing wrong with that.
Unbox Therapy is cancelled for me. His channel is like an echo chamber of disgruntled Android users who only looks at price point and spec sheets. Might as well be hell.
I appreciate this camera review. She hit the points I was concerned with and she did it real time. It wasn’t the typical run down of the specs behind a table while holding the phone. I can go grab specs from Apple’s site. Even with my understanding of the specs and tech, I like seeing how it all translates to the user experience.
I hate I watched her Watch review. Now I really want my Watch sooner than later. I may hunt for it on launch day now. It’s so beautiful!
I've seen her videos years ago. Not for me... unless they've drastically changed I'd hardly consider them "reviews".
That doesn't changed the reality that she gets a lot of views and views sell product. It's the way the world works.

YouTube has taught me that there are a lot of people out there with the minds of children that are way too easily amused. Hell, even the children's "programming" is absolute rubbish. As long as there's money to be made, I'm unsure anyone making said money really cares lol.

You answered your own question though lol. They sit right with Apple. A phone that costs Apple something like $400 to produce is absolute peanuts compared to the views she's going to get. They're not going to be able to run an ad that that many people see fornthat kind of money.

I watch unbox therapy every once in a while, he even mentioned the other day in a video that Apple is still mad at him for bendgate (he admits to starting it, and that it's the main reason Apple won't talk to him)
When he's doing non apple stuff, I don't mind him. But as soon as it's Apple... or he mentions Apple in his video, it's "Apple=Bad"
Every Android he reviews, "oh look a headphone jack, APPLE!"
Apple does in fact hold a grudge.. Unbox Therapy and Gizmodo, both prime examples. Oh, don't forget ifixit either.

Yes but that is factually incorrect. Ppi and resolution are not interchangeable metrics.
The xr doesn’t have the same resolution as the iPhone 4 it has the same ppi. If it had the same resolution as the iPhone 4 it would have a much lower ppi.
He also went on a rant about playing hd, but in his video he shows options on YouTube for both 1080p hd and 720p HD.
The iPhone xr will be able to play 720p HD.
So that’s 2 points he is either intentionally misrepresenting.
So again does he not know the difference between resolution and ppi? Or is he just an idiot, because as a mobile phone reviewer he should know better.
His credibility is now called in to question.
Or to put it in another way... #credibiltyshot
He is noticeably enraged. Another clown.
I’m surprised no one else has picked up on this.
She acts like she's having multiple orgasms every time she unboxes an Apple product.
Everythingapplepro also presents good reviews and has 6 million subscribers. His leaks video are on spot probably thats why apple does not send him one
[doublepost=1537425574][/doublepost]
what about Everythingapplepro should he get it or no?
Because she is fun and quirky. Just because you don't like her, doesn't mean that she is irrelevant. She regularly gets > a million views whenever she does a iPhone Unboxing.
For me Unbox Therapy for example is not a channel I would watch. I am not a fan of his videos, and that is just because everyone has different preferences. And trust me, any Influncer that makes a video titled "Don't buy the iPhone X" will never get a review unit from Apple.

No, he clearly doesn’t want one.
I 100% agree.
On Unbox Therapy they criticize Apple all the time. Meanwhile they are not happy that they don’t get press units. You can’t eat cookie and have cookie.
iJustine is perfect target for Apple - she has nice personality, good quality videos and her public is mostly young.
Out of all mentioned here I prefer the DetroitBORG. He sticks to the unboxing/review and mostly uses his voice instead of his image. He's also pretty neutral. That's what I'm looking for, not some spoiled brat showing off their lifestyle in LA.
She has a lot of subscribers and she's extremely passionate. Her videos aren't to my personal taste as I'd rather go deep into the technical stuff and leave out all the hype and excitement but she certainly has an audience and seems to be doing very well. More power to her.
But he didn’t say that, did he?
Your saying that.
720p is still HD,according to google, isn’t it?
He claimed it couldn’t do HD and the resolution was the same as the iPhone 4, both factually incorrect.
He is also using ppi and resolution interchangeably, which is categorically false.
Does he not know the difference, as a tech reviewer that’s just embarrassing.
Doesn’t matter if your a fan or not but your defensive none the less. And no misinformation is never warranted.
Yup he's a complete moron and will say anything he can to discredit Apple whether stretching the truth or not for views.
First, its not 720p; its somewhere between 720 and 1080; "828p" And comparing an iphone 4 makes you look retarded. The iphone 4 was 960x640 and XR is 1792x828, HUGE difference. Plus LCD screen tech is SUBSTANTIALLY better in 8 years.
And how many hundreds of millions of 326ppi devices were sold even in the last 2-3-4 years and no one said man I wish it just had some "MO PPI!!"
PPI is simply how many dots per inch, that's all it means. It means nothing to overall quality or resolution of the display.
Considering full 1080 is all of 75 more pixels per inch (401 on Plus vs 326); anyone claiming they can see those missing 75 is full of it.
I bet they don't - they give her free stuff, invite her to the events, and she generates revenue from Youtube. They help her make money but I doubt they give her money directly.
So she should MOVE to suit you? Wow. Part of the review process is showing how the phone and cameras work in a multitude of environments, even outside. Her "outside" happens to be in LA.
That is not true, you will be able to play 1080p content just as well as in the older non Plus sized phones (iPhone 6, 7 and 8). He really got his facts wrong but went on this rant and still doesn't correct it.
You seem to get it.
It’s embarrassing for someone working in tech to not be able to distinguish between two distinct metrics, such as ppi and screen resolution.
For a board full of self proclaimed tech enthusiast, it’s surprising that no one else has noticed or raised this issue, rather than blatantly defending him.
