Right? I'm still mad that they call their streaming services Apple TV and Apple Music. It's like, hello!! You guys didn't create music OR tv.

/massive sarcasm
They should be paying Gene Park royalties given how much he pushed for an Apple TV.
 
Marques actually asked good questions. I’m a bit disappointed he let Tim off the hook about playing the ranking game properly. For the iPhone, it was funny that Tim mostly talked about the App Store and how it created an economic miracle “for people” 😏.

Personal opinion. Tech creators have lost all credibility. While I thoroughly enjoyed all three interviews talking about Apple intelligence, they continue to neglect some of the questions & concerns many of Apple users have been scratching their head. One being iPadOS

Not so much iJustine, as there are zero videos talking about it, but MKBHD has 7 videos since 2018, SuperSaf has 3+.

While every section of WWDC was absolute S-tier, [including Apple intelligence] the one category that receives an F is iPadOS. If your going to make videos every year talking about your disappointments and are blessed to be able to interview not only the CEO, but other top execs AND failing to even mention it.

if your going to complain about a product while having the ability make change, but fail to. Everything you say goes "In one ear, out the other."
 
I see a lot of hate for iJustine here and I get it. But I don't understand why people think MKBHD has anything worthwhile to say either. I know I'm in the minority saying that, but the dude is, aside from his production skills, mediocre at best.

It's because they're the ones gifted the ability to sit down with the top dogs. There are hundreds of tech creators [MaxTech, Everyday Dad, Fernando form 9to5, BooredAtWork, YourAverageConsumer...etc] but none of them come close to landing these types of interviews.

People watching iJustine for credibility or strong opinions are watching the wrong person. Real iJustine appreciators watch for her positivity and excitement for tech. She's my pick for the next Apple CEO.

MKBHD, idk.

Does anyone have a link to the Apple discussion that Justine moderated? I couldn't find the video anywhere.

I don't find anything of value in iJustine's reviews (they're kinda vapid), but I do find that Marques will point out what he doesn't like, what doesn't work as it should, and what he wants differently. Like with the new Sonos headphones.

I'm not asking that these people be super in-depth and technical, but at least have an opinion other than "this is the greatest product ever!"
 
This is all nice in principle… but he should be talking to others in the industry. I have nothing against the people he gave interviews to, but there are some heavyweights out there that would ask the tough questions and I’m sure if prepped well, Tim could answer those questions well. That would be far more impressive and useful.

I don’t know, I like some of these people’s videos but they go far far too easy on Apple. And I’m sure we all know why that is… and here we are.
Very well stated.

I suspect he was handcuffed on what he could ask about on camera. He certainly thinks until the software is opened up, iPadOS is not utilizing the hardware available with the Mx chipsets, so the only possible reason I can think of is he signed something in order to get the camera time with him. That's really unfortunate. I remember the old days where there'd be a crowd Q&A after a keynote with the occasional scoff from the crowd about price, or no ogg vorbis implementation on iPod... -generally not much chance for follow up questions, but certainly opportunity to openly put the CEO on the spot for a minute.
 
Seriously, I wonder why Anandtech doesn’t get any love. Doesn't Anand himself still work at Apple? Brian as well?

I know they disappeared into the veil of Apple secrecy and Anandtech doesn't have the clout it once did, but their hardware analysis is still excellent. You can basically tell what Apple will be doing six months out just by reading their TSMC coverage.

iJustine has 7 million followers on Youtube alone. Anand has... 23k?

I don't think a 15 minute interview with Tim was the place to grill him about iPadOS. As much as it is an annoyance within Apple world, it is also (objectively) one of the least important things to talk about after the keynote.

On the other hand, I hope that Gruber pressed Craig on this issue during the live Talk Show. Looking forward to the release of that.
 
Opened YouTube as soon as I saw the name MKBHD lol. Legitimately stopped everything I was doing and started watching it. I already know it's going to be a banger
I usually like MKBHD but when he asked Tim Cook about the Magic Mouse…dude, seriously? You have the opportunity to interview the CEO of Apple and you’re asking him about a mouse?
 
What a waste to talk with Justine. Tim should have spent time with Anandtech or Geekerwan.
Why? She has millions of subscribers and they trust her not to push questions that can’t be answered yet. It’s safe media
 
The ego to call it Apple Intelligence...
It's called Marketing and registering a valuable trademark. Apple (probably) wants to distinguish how they do AI (privacy concerns, end of the world, etc.) from everyone else - especially since they are likely to add other third parties who can process off-device queries.

Given Elon's reaction to Apple's AI announcement, it's not a bad move IF they don't fumble it.
