Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.
This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣
He knows more than his audience but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
A prime example is when he kept asking for bigger batteries. After those arrived he suddenly realized that the phone becomes very heavy. Because the battery is one of the heaviest and most space using components.
This right to repair greenwashing too. Someone tells MKBHD a nice story and he laps it up. He just has a wishlist of features but there’s no technical background to understand the tradeoffs manufacturers are making.
I’m sure he understands them, but at the end of the day, his job is to get views. So he’s going to complain when the UX is bad, regardless of the technical motivations, because that’s what customers will notice.
No he doesn’t understand.
He does have a good eye for design. And he’s used a lot of phones so he certainly isn’t inexperienced. But he doesn’t understand what tradeoffs are made and why.
Such as bigger battery = heavy big phone. Or newer generation chips being more efficient with the same battery capacity. And recycled Aluminum being nothing special, as it’s one of the easiest materials to recycle but recycling it does consume a lot of energy.
Or in this case, repairability of the phone.
