[MacRumors]

Justine and Dan attended this week's event at Apple Park and were able to spend some time with the new devices. They talk us through how the new, contoured design and frosted glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus feel in the hand and look in-person, as well as just how much smaller and lighter the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max really feel due to their titanium design. We also discuss experiences of using the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button and Double Tap on the Apple Watch Series 9, the new selection of color options, some of our favorite new features, and more. See more of Justine's work over on her YouTube channel.

A rose between two thorns

Good stuff! That's a major guest to get - she has a massive following.

 

[abatabia]

Well I think I’ll skip this one.

 

[Kylo83]

Nah, she will always say everything is amazing and will never say the truth because she doesn’t want to get on their naughty list, she isn’t good because she thinks everything is amazing

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

She’s not getting her iPhone on a launch delivery day. 🫨

 

[macman01101]

Is she going carbon neutral?

 

[klky]

Just a shot in the dark…but I’m guessing she thinks everything is absolutely amazing.

 

[gugy]

I understand her appeal in a nerd world but her content is too weak to take her seriously. 😂😂

 

[CygnusTC]

Where is the carbon offset for this? Dan hasn't been too bad before but I think I will just stick with Marques Brownlee at this point.

 

[ghostface147]

So tapping your fingers to answer a call is a neat trick, but I guess you have to push the decline button. No gesture for that, at least not that I'm aware of.

 

[geotbozo]

We don't need to watch...we know she's going to scream about how amazing everything is...

I simply don’t believe that. She most certainly will have a phone on release day. She’s simply trying to placate to the masses after being called out for being an Apple simp, shill and tech snob. Makes her look more “down to Earth”.

I am almost certain she will find one for a release day pickup OR Apple will bend over backwards and make one available.

 

[killawat]

I am almost certain she will find one for a release day pickup OR Apple will bend over backwards and make one available.

yeah I could see someone in Apple being like "How could this happen to iJustine"

 

[TJ82]

Loving iJustine being on - awesome energy. So refreshing to have some positive vibes in a nerd scene where everyone still thinks it's clever to be miserable and critical (especially of women).

Hint: being snide just means you're deeply unhappy with yourself.

Apple PR must be slacking this year.

 

[Naraxus]

I've changed my thoughts on Justine. I actually like her alot. I used to think she was some vapid mouthpiece simping for Apple but after watching a number of her videos she's actually pretty knowledgeable on tech. Moreso than I gave her credit for.

Dude, I'm sure by this point she's probably got a pre-release review unit from Apple, which she will have to return hence why she has to buy her own

 

[Mr. Dee]

I watched her recap video where she claimed she was happy to catch up with her friend 'Tim Cook', talk about over reach.

Media that were invited to the event, like Justine, should all be going home with review devices direct from apple. They’ll have a few days to use and then upload their reviews when the embargo lifts, likely next Wednesday.

I would guess this is for her own personal device

 

[Mother Nature]

She might get a "review" unit, but her personal device could be delayed.

She's knowledgeable but most importantly, she's the only Tech YouTuber that can deliver the emotion someone (who is not a tech enthusiast) would show. I do believe she's genuinely impressed by many things just because she's not behind benchmarks, tech jargon and other stuff.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

I had no idea about double the storage, on the AW. 👍

I decline more calls than I take…

If only your sentiments were valid. The issue is her lack of sincerity. Go back and watch some of her videos, especially pre-Covid. She would steer you into a wall and show you no respite. Don’t conflate contrived enthusiasm with passion for technology.
