Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.

This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣

    I lost interest in that guy on the left the minute he reviewed one of the iPhone’s for the first time, and gave the feature-poor handset this insanely positive review.

    He’s a shill. He does great videos, but he’s a shill.

      He does great videos

      Mbkhd’s studio, talking/narrating skills, editing skills, and skills in explaining tech in simple terms are extremely high quality. He just needs to be more honest about famous companies.

        Yup, I agree. That’s a really big “just”, though. I’d rather watch a poorly edited video that’s honest, than a high end video that glosses over major defects and difficiencies. I mean, let’s call it what it is, Marques makes ads.

          Idk, I think his tech knowledge is fine. He knows far more about cameras than I ever will (largely because I don’t care), and I honestly haven’t seen anything where he’s lacking on the tech knowledge front. His reviews, when critical, are usually quite comprehensive. For his audience and the products he reviews, he’s plenty tech savvy and probably more tech savvy than most of his audience. He just doesn’t put that on display unless it’s relevant to the video.

          His channel is all about “hey, check out this cool tech gadget,” and not “let’s deep dive into this particular tech niche.” Do you want to know how a given EV is to drive? MKBHD got you. Are you trying to decide between EVs? Comparing MKBHD’s videos may help narrow it down, but probably isn’t sufficient. Do you want a teardown of an EV to repair something? Look elsewhere.

          I occasionally watch his videos, but not enough to sub. I like his presentation style and his critical videos are generally pretty insightful.

          His channel is mainly reviews. He isn’t running a “makers” channel or even one like GamersNexus (explaining things in depth) or LTT (covers broad range of topics and demonstrations).
