What gives with Joanna Stern? She will find even the smallest negative and blow it out of proportion.
From her review video:
Seriously?! Does she realize how ridiculous this sounds?
She then goes on to describe every new feature in the 6S and focuses on any negative aspect it might have, no matter how slight. On the camera she spent more time talking about how much more space the photos will take up, but of course failed to put that into context by not pointing out that photos from other phones will take up even more space.
On 3D touch she got some random dude in Times Square to say "I wish that you could touch the screen a bit harder." She then says:
The entire review paints the new features as unimpressive and insignificant, and that the only thing that matters is battery life. I get that more battery would be nice, but dismissing everything else is doing her readers a major disservice.
She clearly is missing the point on all of this stuff. She's had an anti-Apple bias ever since her days at Engadget, and I don't understand why Apple keeps sending her review units. There are other columnists at The Wall Street Journal that have demonstrated that they are perfectly capable of providing unbiased reviews.
