Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it’s a status symbol.
On the topic of Marques though - I haven’t watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I’ve had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That’s not unbiased journalism at all.
Not to defend him (can’t really stand his videos at all) but he’s not a journalist. He’s just a freelance spokesman for products that will sponsor him.
MKBHD the tech reviewer and Louis Rossmann the tech repairer get the tech at different points in their life cycles. Does anyone expect MKBHD to open up a MacBook and start probing motherboard components? He reviews the form and function of new tech when they’re polished and running at their peak. Louis sees them when something has gone wrong
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).
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.

This is true of apple as reviewers critical of them are never invited for their events.
Being honest isn’t where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles
