iJustine is barf flaky/fake too, cant stand more than 10 seconds of listening to her. MKBHD is typically pretty fair, I do sub to him. He actually seems to enjoy tech at least. Flossy Carter is pretty fair overall and very entertaining to watch; he's the make tech fun for average people type.
I've stopped watching a ton of tech Youtube because it's just clickbait fanboy crap on one side or the other. It's just pandering to their fan bases for that click revenue now.
If Android got OS updates and wasn't so insecure/privacy creepy (not just Google services, but that recent Google can remote access your device and change settings in Android P; truly creepy they can access your device contents without permission) I may consider it. Android offers a lot and Apple seems reluctant to advance their OS (maybe iOS13 overhaul?). I not loyal to any product.
Unbox is on the same truly lame clickbait level as that EverythingApplePro guy who very clearly are only in it for the view $$$.
About 1 in 10 times I plug mine in and it takes 20-30 seconds to start charging. I doubt this is a hardware issues and more of a handshaking issue. The next update can’t come soon enough with all these issues.
It must be a bug in iOS 12 since I've noticed that exact behavior with my 8 Plus two or three times since iOS 12.
I wondered about the missing "bling" sound when plugging it in (the original 5W brick), so I unlocked it and... "bling" ... it started charging. I didn't really care about since I stubled across the news about charging issues.

This is on a mass scale. I was shocked that there were at least 6 Apple diehards at my office that are having this issue. But as I've said many times before, many diehard Apple fans won't come out in the open to admit their precious Apple device is having issues. Instead, they'll try to protect Apple's image by secretly going to the Apple Store and try to get it resolved. And that is exactly what 4 of them did. Only one was given a new phone, and still has the issue with the new phone. The others left with no resolution. They're all still really p'd off. The fact that this is happening with so many people who are running the same software as other people who are not having an issue, tells you this is most likely due to extremely poor quality control on the production line. Apple needs to come out and admit they have a problem and give full refunds if the customers want a refund.

MKBHD and Flossy Carter are 2 of my faves, but iJustine and her sister OMG. There voices and some of the iSheep things they do. Linus I can’t get into him and Austin Evans I can’t get over his “Hey guys, This is Austin. Lol.
EverythingApplePro used to be much better then he is now. Now he does too much clickbait stuff just to get views.
One person I hardly ever think of, but for the most part he seems ok is Johnathan Morrison. Idk why I forget about him.
Seems we both agree on Unbox Therapy, iJustine and EverythingApplePro lol.
I know most of this is seriously OT, but it did start out with a YouTube video LOL

Hey, UK fan!!! You in Kentucky??
How many YouTubers do you know who aren’t only in it for the view $$$?
I can probably count the number I know on one hand.

They're all in it for the money. What's worse is, people actually think they're professionals. Really? Professionals? Professional what? There's no qualifications to be a Youtuber. It's a complete joke. The only thing they're good for is to see hands on videos of things you don't have access to at the moment.

Well true. I mean more that some actually making interesting content not pandering to the clicks. But most of those people already have money or another job and the ad revenue is meaningless.
Like Adam Savage from Mythbusters; fascinating channel he runs of intelligent content and clearly doesn't need the ad revenue with his background.
It's sad some are making tens of thousand per month and most are millennials with no other life skills and the vast majority would be homeless if Youtube shut down tomorrow. Meanwhile, we pay cops, EMT, and teachers who contribute to society's benefit rather poorly.
I do miss the old YouTube reviewers like Noah Kravitz and Aaron Baker from Phonedog as well as Rafe Blandford and Steve Litchfield from All About Symbian, those guys did it for the passion.
Oh yes. I do miss them. Then they did it because they loved tech.
Nowadays I think the only one that passionately loves tech is MKBHD. He does a good job.
Most are all for the $$$!
Have you checked to make sure settings - faceID - "usb accessories" is turned on?
its SUPPOSED to work like this if its turned OFF, Any response here that does not specify that the setting is ON does not shed any light on this situation
