Anyone know when an influencer will be unboxing the AVP before launch day ?
Don’t know about “unboxing” given that Apple seems to go down the route of a hands-on “demo” and proper fitting.
According to the article from yesterday we should expect more reviews tomorrow.

Wow, never saw so much negativity on that thread.

Will be waiting to see how the YT influencers find the AVP.

yea, the negativity on VPro is just out of this world ...
I will attempt to get a demo at the Apple Store after Feb 2, though I'm quite uncertain that I can justify $4k (to myself and the boss), but who knows ;)
 
If historical data is any indication, we should probably start seeing some initial impressions reviews soon after pre-orders open up. Then they typically release more in depth reviews a couple days before release. That being said, they might not treat this as BAU for this product, but time will tell.

I was hoping for prior to pre-order morning as I want to convince myself that spending $3500 is a worthwhile device purchase...

Think that would be historically unprecedented, but I guess we will see or not tomorrow. Why not just pre-order and cancel if you choose not to go through with it?

Yes, that's my plan if nothing is reviewed before Friday.
 
My guess is initial reviews on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest and in depth reviews on launch day, Friday.

I hope iJustine gets to do an extensive testing when the embargo lifts.

So far, the last video iJustine posted with limited testing seems promising...

 
I would guess the reviews will be all over the place. In the past with new products Apple is careful to guide such reviewers on what to expect, tentpoles, etc.
