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.
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.
MKBHD has great editing but he’s not tech savy at all.
He has great presentation and videography but when it comes to actual knowledge it’s the blind leading the blind.
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.
He knows more than his audience but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
A prime example is when he kept asking for bigger batteries. After those arrived he suddenly realized that the phone becomes very heavy. Because the battery is one of the heaviest and most space using components.
This right to repair greenwashing too. Someone tells MKBHD a nice story and he laps it up. He just has a wishlist of features but there’s no technical background to understand the tradeoffs manufacturers are making.
I’m sure he understands them, but at the end of the day, his job is to get views. So he’s going to complain when the UX is bad, regardless of the technical motivations, because that’s what customers will notice.
No he doesn’t understand.
He does have a good eye for design. And he’s used a lot of phones so he certainly isn’t inexperienced. But he doesn’t understand what tradeoffs are made and why.
Such as bigger battery = heavy big phone. Or newer generation chips being more efficient with the same battery capacity. And recycled Aluminum being nothing special, as it’s one of the easiest materials to recycle but recycling it does consume a lot of energy.
Or in this case, repairability of the phone.
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).
