Incredible. I'll be visiting this island eventually

[@sonyoledtv]

Hi Marques

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

Interesting, I literally just watched your iPhone 14 video about 8 minutes ago.. are you following me sir?

[@nafisfuadarafat8667]

Waiting for your turn brother 💚💚💚🇧🇩

[@yigite]

ayoo

[@soberanisfam1323]

GIMMICK iLAND

[@Ucfahmad]

Gotta say, of the old-timer historic newspaper companies, WSJ makes the least cringey non-news youtube content. I hope they recognize and reward Joanna’s value and contribution - she could easily go solo and compete with the big tech channels

[@benjamino5]

The WSJ should just have Joanna Stern review *everything*: tech products, non-tech products, bagels at random delis, anything. I guess what I'm saying is, more Joanna Stern videos, please! ;)

[@Catzanova]

I agree 100%. And, she should bring that crab with her - amazing comedian timing for a crustacean

[@billyponsonby]

Yes, yes, yes

[@mbuguz555]

More Joanna Stern more......

[@Haseeb2k08]

Joanna always makes some of the uniquest videos in tech genre

[@cheese9812]

i'm a fan of joanna's quirky videos. they're also informative without being overloaded with too much info. easy to understand for laymen people. very good job!

[@evanle24]

These are the kinds of reviews that make Joanna such an iconic reviewer 😤

[@Senor0Droolcup]

Joanna this was very helpful and very funny. Comedy is hard and can be dangerous to attempt but you always do it very well. Thanks for showing me the differences between the new iPhone 14 models.

[@kamilarmacki3497]

I screamed with laughter at the" Welcome to non-dynamic island" 🤣

[@drew4678]

No you didn’t.

[@steveaffinito50]

iPhone 14 is $799, not $699.

[@yashwardhansingh498]

Every year Joanna comes out with innovative way (Review video) for I phone. Its funny and very unique way of presenting and i just love her work.

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

Me TOO!

[@Naviss]

Great review! Always a joy seeing what Joanna does next to review tech!

[@deloliilol]

I'm always waiting for Joanna's reviews. They're the most original and funny to watch, she doesn't just read a spec sheet ☺

[@bpatel]

Very nicely done, Joanna. WSJ should give Joanna more funds to do more of these reviews, out in the field !

[@Caicorre]

I love Joanna Stern's reviews, but I just don't get why they're all in 1080. It's 2022, most cellphones already film in 4K come onnn

[@kevinabernardo]

Agreed!

[@2A4ever]

I always look forward to your videos Joanna haha you’re one of the most creative and fun reviewers out there!

[@geraltofrivian516]

Joanna’s reviews are always top notch

[@edwinbrace4681]

I see what you did there, the dreaded notch

[@mrpeterpumpkin48]

Pleasant, fun, direct, and brief(!) Thank you. Love your work. Will they add a second Dynamic Island when they finally add a second timer??

[@salperezate]

Joanna's reviews rule!!! Love it

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome island. Very nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@damnhockey]

wow excellent review, you made the presentation to be a lot of fun. thanks

[@realityos]

This is always the highlight of iPhone review videos!

[@sikachu]

I think you've nailed it again this time. Thanks for an awesome review and a good laugh!

[@evergrandebestrealestate4854]

Thank you ma'am. Do you think the Deep Purple is a good color? Or should I just go for the Space Black?

[@Maxyy40]

She in incredibly quirky and I can’t stop watching her videos. Funny yet so relatable.

[@krisalcocer]

Great video! 👏🏼 although I believe during the editing processes the iPhone 14 Pro’s camera lenses were outlined incorrectly. I had to google search it myself to make sure 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Nespalvotas]

Quality review, love this!

[@pascalkhazzoum]

Good job in this review. Really cool

[@matthewthesecond]

MKBHD, The Verge, and WSJ are the GOATs of KZbin iPhone reviews.

[@AbidBakhtiyar]

I feel like I look forward to Joanna’s review of the iPhone more than the iPhone itself at this point

[@JakeSDN]

Joanna Stern does such a good job at presenting & discussing topics.

[@dcny69]

You’re so NY crazy! I love your videos and I like how you’re a regular person. Every tech KZbinr seems medicated

[@aquarius418]

I love this review.

[@StickDriftDaddy]

Really well produced video.

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

She’s funny. I love the humor she brings to her reviews.

[@adinnugroho6544]

This Lady is the reason I always happy when comes to Gadgets. Her Review is just Great. Simple and just Straightforward

[@XBOXonPC]

Awesome video👍

[@liamnac779]

Really fun video

[@niranjan4231]

This is a king of review I would always be looking for in youtube instead of those tech savvy reviews.

[@wesmathur]

this is such an entertaining journalist to watch honestly

[@billyponsonby]

Joanna on everything WSJ tech please

[@AmazinMusicNYC]

With the iPhone 14 pro Can you see the screen in heavy sunlight ?

[@antoncarroll4]

Love this video. The way she broke down the island 🏝️ concept 🫡

[@calvintruong1516]

Best Apple reviews on KZbin tbh

[@sokram1]

Joanna is the best reviewer...hands down.

[@honey4xi]

Apple camera app has no audio meter when you capture the audio and video. It is so weird that we do not know how quiet, loud, or no sound at all when you're recordng the audio. Many customers have requested Apple to add the audio meter for iphone camera app for years, but Apple has been silent.

[@kelvin4833]

Great video, great software

[@grodrigo8575]

Joanna is my favortie tech person ever

[@HuevoDuro702]

She’s a gem she gotta be protected at all times

[@kerry4493]

YOU....are funny JS! Love the review!

[@billybadass8690]

Joanna is great, more Joanna pls

[@snoochpounder]

The satellite feature is the biggest one for me but the island looks kinda neat too

[@chengyiq3066]

I wonder if the Dynamic island works with KZbin videos

[@user-fg3xv8yi7i]

please approve I want to ask you, with which lens did Apple photograph the moon and set it as wallpaper for iOS 16 phones

[@vmorgs1]

Well done. Different from the rest with a slice of fun.

[@Howtofarmandgarden]

Great Phone. Have you tried attaching it to a Eclipse Rover? Amazing!

[@craig42069]

For new tech I always count on dave2d unbox therapy and JS ❤

[@Zax0422]

What a fun way to learn about the iPhone 14 😺

[@frankdavis7978]

I love your videos 🥰

[@paragjyotideka1246]

I love your videos so much that really want a subscribe to playlist feature on KZbin just so I can get notified when your new video comes out.

[@pattycarljackson]

The always on display on the iPhone is different then android phones like apps on iPhone having an always on option like in maps or voice memos.

[@kevindiaz7584]

Hilarious! I love your videos. WSJ keep increasing Joanna's budget to make this videos.

[@bostar7770]

You are too funny🤣🤣🤣. Love your review 😁✌️

[@matthew3603]

Joanna is the best

[@BinarySmurf]

I hope Apple adds a toggle in the Camera app for 12 48MP. Having to do it in Settings is an annoyance.

[@rolins3279]

Honestly, the Dynamic Island even if it is not vital, is really very well thought out and fun, use a weakness (pill 💊) to make it a strength 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. But, it also highlights this aspect of Android manufacturers (in this case LG) who are very creative but never go after their ideas 🤦🏽‍♂️. On the other hand, it also highlights this aspect of Apple which always restricts new software features to new iPhones by wanting you to believe that it is related to hardware 🤧. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

[@lukepruscino5101]

Joanna please do a day in the life with the Apple Watch Ultra when that comes out I miss those videos 😂

[@SahedX]

yo why is this comedy so good .

[@koalafishmutantbird4682]

I walked into a Verizon store earlier today and told them I wanted to pay full retail for a 14 Pro and use it with my prepay account. They told me I couldn’t. Since when is this no longer possible?

[@jaywhite1141]

I’m getting the iPhone 14 pro max deep purple 512GB in late November I’m so excited 😆📱

[@zohairua]

this was hilariously good😆

[@ervin9805]

wow the compression and bitrate on this video is just sad

[@ajay_Gunn]

The intro was epic. 😂

[@ikephipps2696]

Lol @ the crab "please leave"

[@elteacher6410]

WSJ has always been a synonym of excellence and professionalism, but ... fun? This video was FUN watch. FUN, FUN, FUN!

[@markbrito21]

The always on display on apple phone is totally different than the ones of android. Way different!

[@bjs2022]

Sassy Joanna is the best thing about the Wall Street Journal. They are lucky to have her.

[@stickman_fam]

Greatest reporter of all time.

[@Ucfahmad]

I want more crank phone calls in my smartphone review videos. 😹

[@FassEddie]

That statue is of William Tell, y’all. The original is in Switzerland. This is a polyester copy.

[@NielsonLucas]

Apple should have let its consumers take 48MP photos without ProRAW (in JPEG/HEIC format) with an optional setting on the Settings menu -> Camera.

[@just_in_key]

0:31 is that an isopod? lol

[@andikappradana]

Aah, so that's the place where Apple came up with the name "dynamic island"

[@jonathanllamas2423]

Joanna completely missed the infamous jack sparrow run with that audio. 😭

[@NatureLover-vv5cp]

The horseshoe crab 😭

[@maptrking]

If you are iPhone 13 - wait for the 15.

[@mc88dx]

I wish the static island would go away.

[@AbeZchannel]

2:27 I saw that reference.

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

Island in the sun

[@a1x_vs]

I LOVE YOU JOANNA

[@issiewizzie]

Joanna should be on SNL

[@issawrapppp]

Uploading in 1080p in 2022

[@MiguelAguirre-om6em]

Dynamic Island, Dynamic Island, Dynamic Island, Dynamic Island, Dynamic Island haahhahah!! best review !!

[@builtbypi2276]

TYPO FOUND 1:13 base iPhone 14 starts at 799 not 699

[@vladimir_nj697]

Just gotta watch,bcz I can’t afford it😢

[@sealove79able]

Unlike the Apple the Ruger has got the Mini14.

[@timoedsel]

Disappointed with the cameras. They said there's a lot of improvement compared to the 13s, but it appears that there are none.

[@superiortoall22]

MrWhosetheBoss does a great camera comparison with the 14 Pro Max, there’s a decent size difference

[@937553]

I don't like calling it a dynamic island or a pill cut-out.

[@hakavillon]

Joanna can you create your own special channel in some subcontent of WSJ. This convinced me to not waste my money on frivilous Apple things... Who am I kidding you convinced me to totally waste money on an upgrade.

[@nafisfuadarafat8667]

I'll get the pro 1Tb¹ 😎.

[@banderson1979]

Quit triggering my HomePods with your Siri comment at the end of the video. Don’t you tech reporters know this?!

[@PM2024-]

wow. I love apple. I’ve upgraded every year to the new phone. but, without the SIM card slot, this new iPhone is useless. I frequently travel internationally; smaller countries in Africa, Middle East & Asia simply do not have Esims. yes, some do but only for annual in-country plans - not for prepaid. And it’s essential to have a local number in the those places to call an Uber or have food delivered. Also, prices for international roaming from AT&T, Verizon, t-mobile are prohibitively expensive ⛔️
