20+ app updates on my Duo since my review already, and there’s a new section in the App Store for apps optimized for duo as preorders start to arrive. Developers are off to the races
For the first time in years, I was disappointed by your reviews. They felt a bit faded with no real talking points. It seemed unfair to quickly dismiss those apps for a product that hadn’t even launched yet.
But you're human before all.
We knew this was going to happen. Your review before phone release was deliberately misleading people to believe nothing would be optimized by launch. We expect more mkbhd!
To be honest I think your review about that was stupid. Yes it’s worth noting. But it’s like using a beta version and complaining of apps not working. You had it early and developers still had time to work on it before general release. 6 months after release sure complain about it.
So your review is discredited then already in regards to criticisms about the lack of app optimisation despite the phone not even being out the public yet?
honestly your review wasn’t upto standards this time, the criticism was unnecessary, the phone hadn’t even released yet, and you were blaming the apps not being optimised.
One more for the list: MoneyCoach. Unfold the Duo and your bank accounts turn into cards in a 3D leather wallet that follows the hinge and catches the light. Built it in 20 days and sleepless nights, mostly in the simulator 😅
Your review of this was the worst one. Every other creator put out a much more nuanced review of it without blowing the app compatibility out of proportion. Seems like you are flexing your influence weirdly.
After the strong criticism.. Bro is doing damage control 😅😅
I get it, you don’t want to risk not getting invited to the next Apple Event 😅
But hey! you’re for the consumers right?
Dude just retire. Your reviews are wack. There is a new sheriff in town. You literally hate technology and your reviews shows that. Gg brother, its time to look for a new gig.
Love your videos but developers couldn’t push app updates until the GM software released just a few days ago. The app experience in your review will not be what most users get
Did you not think they wouldn’t be optimized? It’s crazy to think or to even complain about apps not being optimized for the Duo when it wasn’t even released yet lol. Developers and such will need time.
Will you make a followup video to your review? You spent a lot of time talking about un-optimized apps for a device that was not released. Since then a ton of apps have been updated, just in time for when the device released.
Ngl you and other tech reviewers should have made a full disclosure that the units you were reviewing were essentially beta units and that countless more apps would be optimized day 1
Reviews for phones should be based on what customers can expect to receive. Reviewing a phone and basing it so heavily on apps that haven’t even had a chance to be optimized is disappointing. High production value, but now low trust.
99% of reviews criticised the device for not having app support before it had even been released. Didn't hurt sales clearly but follow ups are definitely required.
You are the best reviewer in the YouTube space, hands down…yet in your review you acted as if you didn’t know THIS would happen? Why was the app experience even a talking point?! Marques, you’ve been doing this for more than a decade!! You are the GOAT, cmon!
These Apple fanboys shedding tears in the comments, though...
Y'all should be thanking him for giving viewers the true picture so that their buying decision is informed by facts and not mollycoddling to fanboyism!
Fantastic to see Toastie here, a fun little game we made to turn iPhone Duo into the world’s most expensive toaster 🥪
Have you given it a shot Marques?
