If Tim has the guts, he should be interviewed by independent journalist that will make the hard questions for example: What the future holds for Apple beyond camera, CPU/GPU and display improvements in the iPhone?
 


Following the announcement of the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and the new sixth-generation iPad mini, Apple gave YouTuber iJustine a chance to talk to Apple CEO Tim Cook about the new announcements, including some tidbits about Fitness+.


In the nearly 15 minutes' long interview, Cook describes the new camera features of the iPhone 13, specifically Cinematic Mode, as a "mindblowing" addition to the iPhone that places it on par with professional high-end video equipment. The interview doesn't heavily touch on the new Apple Watch Series 7, but Cook notes how the device has become an integral part of his workout routine thanks to its integration with Fitness+.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are incremental upgrades compared to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, featuring a smaller notch, improved performance thanks to the A15 Bionic, new camera features, and more. Catch up on everything Apple announced yesterday using our event recap.

I can’t take anything from her seriously.

Guts? Really?

Why in the world would he do that on the day of product launches, revealing future plans that Apple doesn't want to reveal to competitors?

iJustine is way too cringewortthy to watch, just sad actually to see the fake over hype attitude and strange excitement over a bland product launch.

Does she get this excited about annual refrigerators or washing machine releases? Smartphones today are just another type of appliance in our life. Nothing worth getting this excited over.

Calm the F down lady. It's just a phone.
Talking about Apple tech is only a fraction of what she does. She does comedy and funny lifestyle videos, often with her sisters. She even did a couple of Weird Al style music videos and an Animal Crossing video. She’s always super peppy about everything. She drinks a lot of coffee so I’m not shocked. My family and I find her entertaining but I can see how she’s not going to appeal to everyone. Her sisters are more low key and I suspect her real off camera personality is, as well. It actually takes a lot of intelligence and training to keep her channel going for as long and successfully as it has. She’s actually very informative when it comes to showing us what the camera phones can do. Videography is her thing.

Finally, someone who gets what she does, and why she's so successful. And no doubt making a great living ($$$$$$$). I suspect she worked pretty hard to get to where she is. Which is probably why many are upset with her.
 
Typically, when learning why a "too big to fail" entity eventually failed we are forced to wait for the post mortem because people don't see it happening.

You're seeing it.

It won't be tomorrow, or next year, or probably even the next five. It takes a LONG time to burn through that much cash. But after yesterday's announcement and the cradle to grave disaster the CSAM mess was, and puff pieces like this?

We've reached "peak Apple" folks. Unless someone spectacular comes along and drastically changes direction in ways we never thought possible.

No self reflection (as a company, AKA hubris).

A lack of, or diminishing flexibility and innovation in the marketplace.

A large, overly lumbering corporate structure that feeds upon itself.
 
It’s a bit like saying a Ford Capri having a steering wheel puts it on par with a modern f1 car
 
Wouldn't be surprised if iJ was a creation of Apple or at least bankrolled. Noone can get that over excited over often bland products and there is no bite or criticism, even when warranted. Not a fan.

she does always complain about the missing USB-C or TouchID on iPhone beforehand but as soon as a new product is actually announced, it’s the best thing eveeeeeeer. So excited. Oh my god! SO EXCITED

And likely so rich because she knows her audience and consistently delivers what they want.

Good video. Spoiler alert, iJustine is an Apple fan.

Some MacRumers posters are watching the video with a magnifying lens. Cook is not “shaking” in this video. It all looks normal.
 
I can’t take anything from her seriously.
Why? Because she shows so much optimism about Apple products and then she actually conveys her thoughts about why she actually likes the latest Product? just because you can’t take her seriously, doesn’t mean that she’s not a reputable ‘tech reviewer’ in this industry. She’s influenced plenty of people from her viewpoints, both critical and supportive.
 
To think, this all started when she got an insanely large bill from AT&T on the original iPhone.

I KNEW the pink iPhone was iJustine fan service.

I believe a tech reviewer should be able to perform critical appraisal of a company and product, both positive and negative.

She however is basically an extension of Apple's marketing team. The only thing critical she will ever likely say in regards to Apple is that there aren't enough words in a dictionary for her to be able to describe how awesome they and their products are.

What she does is obviously the only way she will get such "interviews", but by watching her stuff people are basically watching a 15 minute commercial.

So much hate for iJustine… gosh… I’d love to see you guys in her position, you’d probably be doing the same thing but only worse cause then we’d have to stare at your ugly a** neckbeard.

She’s an independent woman that found a way to squeeze $$$$ from her YouTube videos 13 years ago when no one else was doing this. She’s made a career out of this and is chilling in her 2 million dollar home in Santa Monica while you guys are at work in some sh*tty office typing this on last years hardware (that you had to pay for btw).

And let’s be honest here, if Apple agrees to do an interview then it’s obvious you’re going to say yes and do the interview on their terms. These are videos that have a guaranteed audience of at least 400,000 viewers, which basically means $$$$.

So excuse her for trying to make a living out of something you could never do.

I really can’t believe grown a** men are wasting their time here commenting about how much they hate her and how phony she is and bla bla… it’s really pathetic and says a lot about you.

Now go back to your lame 9-5.

I think she’s an Apple fan with a YouTube channel, just like for example a sports team fan with a YouTube channel. I mean, just look at her name. So I don’t expect her to criticize and ask hard hitting questions. I expect that of journalists, which she is not (and I don’t believe she’s claimed to be?). It’s fine to not be a fan of hers but I think people here put unreasonable expectations on her.

He does not need to reveal anything, but share his view about the future of technology and where Apple goes. From the iPhone announcement one can think that we are all movie directors spending our day taking videos and photos.

Well, I'd better have one "lame" street sanitiser than 100 iJustines around. At least a street sanitiser does something useful, even is he earns a lot less money.

No one’s said anything about usefulness and one could apply that same example to all of Hollywood. It’s the entertainment industry, they’re not freaking doctors.

This is about attacking an individual based on their views and attitude towards something. If you don’t like iJustine then great! Don’t subscribe to her content. But don’t come on here attacking a woman because you have some underlying, untreated issue and just feel the need to project hate towards something.
