[1896.72 --> 1900.84] And I have even given some very positive iPhone reviews.
[1900.98 --> 1901.14] Yeah.
[1901.64 --> 1902.94] They just don't come out that often, right?
[1903.00 --> 1903.50] Yeah, there's that.
[1903.60 --> 1904.38] I mean, it's once a year.
[1904.44 --> 1910.38] And we don't like, we don't like hang on and do like iPhone video after iPhone video.
[1910.58 --> 1910.70] Yeah.
[1910.70 --> 1914.10] Like we'll kind of cover it at launch and then we consider that sort of good enough.
[1914.32 --> 1914.50] Yeah.
[1914.60 --> 1916.64] Just like, I mean, basically any other product.
[1916.78 --> 1917.34] But like.
[1917.34 --> 1922.22] I mean, we're not like an iPhone review channel, which is sort of a thing.
[1922.32 --> 1922.74] I don't know.
[1922.88 --> 1926.78] This has been a very frustrating thing for me over the last little while.
[1927.20 --> 1933.38] So I did that one video where I talked about all the things I didn't like about the iPhone XS and I still don't like them.
[1933.54 --> 1933.56] Yeah.
[1933.74 --> 1935.78] And I'm still not going to use it as my daily driver.
[1935.92 --> 1938.80] But it's not because I hate Apple or that I hate the iPhone XS.
[1938.88 --> 1940.40] It's just I don't think it's the best choice.
[1940.54 --> 1941.60] And I'm a tech reviewer.
[1941.64 --> 1943.32] I can use literally any device I want.
[1943.32 --> 1945.56] And if I can, then I will use something else.
[1945.56 --> 1948.56] But I also don't.
[1949.10 --> 1950.68] Did I say I don't hate them first?
[1950.74 --> 1951.06] Oh, right.
[1951.14 --> 1951.28] Yeah.
[1951.62 --> 1952.10] Oh, yeah.
[1952.22 --> 1952.44] Yeah.
[1952.44 --> 1953.16] This was bizarre.
[1953.44 --> 1962.50] So then because I did feel like that particular piece, like I think even if my personal preference is not to use an iPhone XS, it doesn't mean I hate it.
[1962.56 --> 1965.66] And I think my original piece was overly negative.
[1966.14 --> 1969.56] And so we were already planning to do a counterpoint piece.
[1970.48 --> 1972.28] Ten things that are great about the iPhone.
[1972.28 --> 1976.56] Which is a cool idea when both of those pieces are opinion pieces anyways.
[1976.72 --> 1977.26] They're not reviews.
[1977.66 --> 1978.04] Yeah.
[1978.14 --> 1980.08] Neither of them were reviews, to be very clear.
[1980.34 --> 1985.36] And it feels like our community was split in twain.
[1985.36 --> 1996.12] And, you know, half the comments on the initial piece are that I'm clearly paid off by Google or Samsung or whoever else the case may be because I'm just trashing the iPhone.
[1996.62 --> 2003.24] And then half the comments on the iPhone one are that Apple clearly sent a big bucket of money for us to say positive things out of the iPhone.
[2003.24 --> 2009.96] I'd like to set this clear once and for all so that it can never be forgotten or misunderstood again.
[2010.08 --> 2017.72] If we were paid for something, you would know because it would say sponsored by the name of whoever gave the money for it.
[2017.78 --> 2018.78] Been kind of doing it forever.
[2018.88 --> 2019.44] In the video.
[2019.62 --> 2020.34] It's happened a lot.
[2020.72 --> 2028.36] And we would say verbally sponsored by or thanks to or whatever it is to be very clear.
[2028.54 --> 2029.40] Is it also in the description?
[2029.80 --> 2030.20] Yeah.
[2030.20 --> 2033.14] So it's on screen, it's verbally said, and it's in the description.
[2033.48 --> 2039.80] Apple has never paid us to do anything and they have never even accepted a phone call or an email.
[2040.78 --> 2042.34] So, no, that didn't happen.
[2042.82 --> 2046.94] What happened was that they're just products.
[2047.40 --> 2051.00] They're just phones and laptops and motherboards.
[2051.18 --> 2052.18] That's all they are.
[2052.60 --> 2056.92] There is no tribe that you join by buying a product.
[2056.92 --> 2064.22] I mean, okay, I shouldn't say that because there kind of is, but I reject that reality and I substitute my own because it's ridiculous.
[2064.56 --> 2064.98] I agree.
[2066.22 --> 2068.18] Someone in chat brought up a pretty good point, though.
[2068.18 --> 2068.32] Yeah.
[2068.62 --> 2070.12] You are paid off by BlackBerry.
[2070.52 --> 2071.08] I am?
[2071.34 --> 2072.20] Obviously, yeah.
[2072.56 --> 2075.16] Or else you wouldn't have the opinion of being against both sides.
[2075.16 --> 2077.18] We have figured out the conspiracy.
[2078.04 --> 2078.44] Ah.
[2079.92 --> 2081.40] Well, I don't have to be paid.
[2081.52 --> 2083.52] They're just my Canadian bro sort of now Chinese.
[2085.30 --> 2086.22] License to TCL.
[2086.38 --> 2089.48] When was the last time we covered a BlackBerry?
[2089.48 --> 2090.44] I reviewed the key, too.
[2090.78 --> 2091.02] Oh.
[2091.02 --> 2094.34] Yeah, like quite recently, actually, and it did not get a good review.
[2094.64 --> 2096.58] So, BlackBerry's paying me a bunch of money.
[2096.94 --> 2099.36] They are not getting a great value out of that.
[2100.82 --> 2108.24] You know, quite frankly, I think I am setting myself up for another wave of hate right now.
[2108.58 --> 2116.62] So, I just mostly finished, almost finished the script for my Pixel 3 XL review, and it is pretty negative.
[2118.08 --> 2118.32] Yeah.
[2118.32 --> 2120.98] Well, do you remember what I was talking about?
[2121.52 --> 2129.92] I said for months I was just going to buy a Pixel 3 when it came out, and I haven't yet, and I've still got my one, and it's feeling really old.
[2130.10 --> 2130.36] Sorry.
[2130.48 --> 2133.86] I have a Note 9 in my pocket right now because I just finished my script for the Pixel 3.
[2133.92 --> 2135.64] I forgot I'm not actually carrying it anymore.
[2136.32 --> 2140.28] But there's just a handful of things that are just shockingly stupid.
[2140.98 --> 2142.92] So, one, have you got the...
[2142.92 --> 2143.92] Have you got the...
[2143.92 --> 2145.48] Oh, man.
[2145.78 --> 2145.96] Pie?
[2146.08 --> 2146.38] Nougat.
[2146.46 --> 2146.90] Oreo pie.
[2147.00 --> 2147.40] Yeah, thanks.
[2147.40 --> 2148.70] Have you got the pie update yet?
[2148.80 --> 2148.98] Yes.
[2149.08 --> 2149.46] Yeah, okay.
[2149.62 --> 2154.64] Did you notice that when you are watching a video, for example, and you click the volume rocker?
[2155.16 --> 2156.70] Everything that did to volume is horrible.
[2157.42 --> 2157.86] Okay.
[2158.36 --> 2159.02] Just checking.
[2159.36 --> 2159.50] Yeah.
[2159.62 --> 2165.06] So, I have a whole, like, thing on audio management in Android Pie and how unbelievably...
[2165.64 --> 2166.38] Absolute garbage.

[1896.72 --> 1900.84] And I have even given some very positive iPhone reviews.

[1900.98 --> 1901.14] Yeah.

[2159.36 --> 2159.50] Yeah.

[2159.62 --> 2165.06] So, I have a whole, like, thing on audio management in Android Pie and how unbelievably...

[2165.64 --> 2166.38] Absolute garbage.
