Real reviews

[MyAppleWorld]

When are we expecting a real hands on review to land? Not one with people at the event.

Alternatively which is the best one so far that actually shows someone using it

Probably early next week.

Remember, the social media influencers are just that - influencers.
They are not people that I would rely on their reviews.

Ever since the iPhone 17 Air came out and all the nasty remarks made by influencers - I have lost all credibility with their reviews.

I will leave the reviews with me and my use so next Wednesday when I pick up 2 Neos and put them thru their paces, will make up my mind.

BTW I love my iPhone 17 Air - it's perfect for ME.

All reviews from influencers should be taken with a grain of salt since while they may list some negativiey, their reviews will largely be bias towards positive to stay on Apple's good side. I would think if your reviews get down to even a 60/40 split of positive/negative, Apple would halt having you review devices.

While I can't stand most of the influencers, especially the bigger ones, I think it does say something that Linus from LLT daily drove an AIR for quite a few months, and MKBHD also prefered dailying the AIR for months.

I used the AIR for a month but had to give it up soley because of the loud speaker (or only speaker). Calls on Speaker were just too volume, and at first I thought my device was defective until others confirmed. Else I have zero complaints, love that phone. Google's Pixel 1 also had a single speaker and it was just as bad if not worse than the AIR's. I listen to podcasts often at work on speaker so it helps having a phone with somewhat decent speaker sound levels.
