iPhone 17 Marques recommends iPhone 17 instead of Pro?

[Le_Chiffre]

So they counted the Pro and Pro Max separately but put the base iPhone and plus models together, I think that's unlikely!

Back before the plus models were even released the base model was still the best selling iPhone yearly so it's not surprising it still is now.

I said I don’t know, but it is strange that counterpoint makes no mention of the plus models. Not even to disparage it as a failure due to low sales.

It is possible they counted plus and base models as one, and it is possible they have not. We don’t know because counterpoint makes no reference to the plus models whatsoever, which in itself is bizarre. 😂

For all the people attacking marques for his points of view and his opinions on the matter, the amount of views and clicks his content generates paints a rather different picture. A lot of people are interested in what he has to say.

No one is attacking him, merely pointing out that views and clicks does not translate into sales of mobile phones. Hence his opinion doesn’t really matter when it comes to smartphone sales.

Case in point his opinion on one plus phones;

One plus is pretty much dead as an Android brand. Bbk is pulling it from the market as we speak. 🪦

Glad I never decided to buy a One Plus phone, it seems that they are pretty much going to be extinct soon.

Oh, I have UAG Civilian too, didn’t really like it though because it’s kinda plasticky and not like my old Civilian case for 11 Pro, but smh it seems like it actually didn’t heat phone as much. Will probably switch back to it and test, maybe silicone case is the issue.

I mean it is not really overheating but becomes unpleasantly warm to touch, something like 42-45° Celsius in the body and maybe up to 47° in plateau (where all main internals are). So it never shows me the messages like “let the phone cool down” but I’ve had it drop the brightness to minimum a few times.

Well, gotta test more!

I prefer the TechWoven case over my UAG one based on appearance, but the UAG case is really grippy. I used to drop my 17 Pro at least once a week with my TechWoven case, but I have probably dropped it once in four months with the UAG.

I purchased my 17 Pro on 9th October and the battery health is still at 100% 9 months later. I use the Apple MagSafe charging puck to recharge my device wirelessly.

They weren't mentioned because they didn't sell enough to make the list of best selling phones!

Why is it strange that a list of top selling devices doesn't mention one with poor sales?

How can he recommend the 17 instead of the 17 pro

The guy is a fraud. He thinks we’re all his mark.

 

[triumvirate]

Why would you trust what he says? He makes videos to sell things and generate revenue.

marques is a useless reviewer tbh. i even get my info off the tech chap, max tech, 9-5mac, macrumors as examples they go more into depth into why you want that phone over this etc and do brutal tech reviews... he just say whatever pleases everyone... and people drink that which i don't

 

[TracerAnalog]

He gets a lot of views but no one really listens to him or takes his opinions seriously.

I certainly didn’t.

I don't take any 'influencer' seriously. They are entertainers and I find Marques entertaining so I watch him regularly.

Funny how you mention Max Tech, one of the most derided channels here on MacRumors. I don't like his style of videos, but still check it out now and then.
