I was wrong about how much I'd like the Galaxy Z Flip 5MKBHD Merch: http://shop.MKBHD.comGet a dbrand skin for the Z Flip 5 at https://dbrand.com/shop/flip5 ...
No he’s fucking not. He’s always liked Apple, just didn’t really get into them until the 5S. Been watching him since 2014, and even then he still said recently on the waveform podcast he prefers Android.
Plenty of things to critique Marques over. This ain’t one.
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.
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.
This is literally like the meme I just posted where it basically said, you can appreciate something and not agree with it. You think Apple shill because he has to play by their rules, yet objectively speaking, he’s always saying things like “incremental update” and “they say blah, but I haven’t seen that yet”. When it comes to Apple, it’s very read between the lines.
Yeah, he’s become a total Apple shill

That’s your opinion.

Got a source for this? Pretty avid MKBHD watcher and I’ve never heard of this happen to him.
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
How so?

Thanks.
