I like iJustine but not for her looks as my wife is fit and I don’t need an internet obsession lol, but seriously I like her enthusiasm and enjoy the lack of geekiness about her reviews. I like MKBHD too for the no nonsense straight to the point reviews in bullet point form almost. I get bored when reviewers go into too much depth about speeds and screen quality as it doesn’t overly interest me beyond the user experience.
 
MKBHD is the one i really take seriously, Dieter Bohn a close second. iJustine gets too excited and it can become tiring to watch. But i understand she's just 'nerding' out.
 
You are not alone. iJustine relies on her looks hoping you will ignore her poor reviews. Another reviewer I don't like is that Sara Peachy. The way she talks in that halting manor drives me insane. I ignore most youtuber reviews who are in apples back pocket. You will not get an honest review of the product from these people. Unfortunately, many people only wish to hear good things about apple products.
I’ve only seen one video by Sara Peachy but I didn’t really like her. She came across as quite smug and condescending. I do like ijustine though. She is so sweet and excitable. You can’t not like her.

And the point of that was......?????

I didn’t create this thread to discuss iJustine so don’t know why you posted the link?
Seems like quite a few posts started discussing that (which wasn't what this thread was about, as you yourself mentioned) so I provided a link to where that kind of discussion was already happening.

Make sure you visit St. Mark's Square in Venice before it sinks into the sea. It's a sea of tourists and a sea of pigeons all at once!

Hi from venice

Am I the only one that can’t stand Justine? Can’t watch more than 5 seconds into her videos.

I don’t really consider iJustine to be a viable YouTube reviewer for iPhones, she tends to be more partial to everything Apple and gushes more about the products then anything else. I think their a lot more well-balanced YouTubers than her, even though she does have a nice presentation with the XR, it just seems unbalanced because she is very biased towards Apple, which is perfectly fine, but I like to see both sides of use when it comes to Apple products, that means the ‘Good and bad’ with respect to the XR.

Not much substance at all. I get the enthusiasm but, I can’t watch her videos because of the main issue you spoke of. She is eye candy for the hormonal boys. I appreciate beauty but I need some geek too.
 
Here is a great one week review. The Xr portrait shots really don’t look very nice. They really exaggerate the image due to the lens used. This would be a no go for me. Posting for others thinking of buying. Get all the details to make an informed buy. If money is truly an issue, then this is the best phone hands down. I would pick one up.

 
The colors look really nice, definitely a premium phone. I couldn't do the bezels and screen, but I expect it's just fine for most. Apple should sell a ton of these.
