iJustine: “Very nice document”. Are you kidding. How can you really get a true review. You can send her a ton of bricks with an Apple logo on it and she will go nuts in happiness.

I was on the bench but I ordered one. I still have my old one but it’s so slow that it’s almost unusable.
It seems like the perfect size for on-the-go note taking. I can picture this being a staple for many industries.
 
IJustine. Oi.
“Pink is my favorite color.” Opens pink iPad to reveal it looks silver. “It’s subtle.” Compares it to iPad Pro…”I guess this isn’t pink either.”

They all feel phoned in, but her unboxing might have been the most forced.

I won't bother watching any of the videos...I'm sure they all just think they're great! Time saved.

EDIT: Even though I loathe her, I had to watch iJustine deal with a silver "pink" iPad Mini. Hilarious!

Thank you, I took a look, like 10 seconds. Reminds me of "The Funniest Joke in the World" from Monty Python. This over-excitement hurts :eek:

She comes across as the female they use on the TV adverts for car insurance who, when asked what car it is, replies "It's a blue one"

I honestly don’t understand the views and attention she gets. She’s literally one of apple’s PR people. its always better to watch the smaller channels that don’t get early access to apple products for reviews.

I’m sorry— is the launch not Friday 9/24 anymore? Or you are talking online orders?

I’m on the fence about getting one— and figured I’d let luck dictate. If it’s in stock next week when I visit my Apple store, I will maybe grab one.

She is honest about how silly charging the original Apple Pencil and having to flip over the mouse to charge. Apple PR would never mention those things. Her videos are light-hearted fun reviews.

You’re telling me about her criticism of the original Apple Pencil that came out in 2015!? Lol. What are her current criticisms? And she was still probably not big enough back then to where she felt she could sometimes be honest.

Ill admit I don’t watch her regularly, but I thought she started to criticize the first gen pencil after the second one came out.
 
Oh how I wish mine would arrive before I leave on a trip. It arrives same day sadly about an hour after I'll be at the airport.
 
Still showing 'Preparing to ship'. They must have a stash state-side. Hmm. Sneaky.

I was looking forward to the whole tracking your shipment component of the ordering and receiving bit. It's almost better than actually receiving it... *sigh* (In search of a thrill now...)
