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. 😂 🫣

    Probably has to suck-up inorder to get products early so his reviews can be viewed first. I wish all of these reviewers would be honest as Steve Burke (GamersNexus).

      Being honest isn’t where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles

        This guy has 3M subs and doesn’t take free samples for reviews. I think he’s doing OK, and damn, if you want a detailed comparison of something, he’s the guy. He’s branched away from the mainly mechanic oriented stuff recently, but still staying unbought.

      No. Apple and most major tech companies are pretty good about giving reviewer samples to anyone with a large enough audience. The only thing that gets you disqualified is breaking the moratorium and releasing your review early.

      What conducting softball interviews gets you is more interviews.

        That isn’t true, for example LTT doesn’t get seeded Apple products anymore because of what they have said about Apple. NVidia has also been caught revoking early access to products to some outlets because they were unhappy about reporting as well.

        As @reddit_sux@lemmy.world stated there are more perks than just earlier reviews.

        Sometimes a large company will stop assisting you if you go against their talking points. For example Hardware Unboxed got in trouble for saying, raytracing isn’t as big of a deal as Nvidia is making it and it will remain that way for at least the next few years. Thanks to influence of several big Youtubers (like Steve Burke and Linus Sebastien), Nvidia changed their minds.

        Are you assuming this simply because apple doesn’t state the reason they end a relationship? Access journalism isn’t new or unique to apple.
