| irstupid said: Defense of apple? Apple is the last company in the world you would need to write something in defense for. 90% of journalists already do that. If you don't, your labeled an apple hater an android lover. Just for reference, I watched a recent "cnet" i think video on the new headphones, cause when I saw them i thought they were stupid and thus curious about them. Otherwise don't care. Apple is not a company for me. I know that and thus ignore them mostly. But in the video, it basically confirmed 99% of my fears the entire time. He spent majority of the video dissing the headphones, from looking stupid in the ear, sounding the same bad quality, carrying case looking like dental floss, ear buds same as always, so if they fall out your ear (as they do mine) they still do. ect. Yet at the end, he then goes on to say, he loves them and can't wait till the future of them. Sad. He spends 5 minutes basically saying cons and yet at the end basically appeases to the millions of apple fans out there saying it's awesome. Guess CNET don't want to lose any followers by upsetting the apple cult |
I don't mean to defend Apple, a company I have plenty of problems with, but rather the iphone 7. I'd have to watch that video but I'm not sure what his issue is with the sound... I'm not sure how you'd improve it unless you're looking to blow out your ear drums. Perhaps my ears simply aren't trained enough.
It's normal for reviews to focus on the negatives as they should, as the positives are always advertised. If the negatives don't bother you, you generally know you'll probably like the product.
Otherwise, cnet are reliable reviewers (I believe that's who I rely on for tv reviews) and there's no conspiracy here; despite whatever cons he found, this is still a fantastic phone.
