I never hear him criticising Apple and everytime a new iPhone comes out he’s gushing. Yet iPhone sucks next to Android. I’d take a budget Android over iPhone any day.

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. There’s pros and cons to each platform.

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. There’s nothing else to implement. These phones are what we dreamed of back in 2010. Just all fucking screen and nothing else. Basically, the iPhone just “is”. And oh hey, here’s a bigger battery this year. Cool.

You don’t hear him criticising them because he got shadowbanned for doing it once. There were a couple reviews where he mentioned having to buy the devices himself.

As I said, there was a period when he kept saying. “I had to buy this myself” the source is his videos. Ask A.I. to squirrel them out.

There was another guy that broke down the experience of falling out of favour with Apple and I can’t for the life of me find
