I’m blind, so piercing noises are very annoying to me. This might work for others, but I’m not a fan.

  @Ner6y_Le9Vo Yeah, I get this question a lot, lol. But I don’t mind telling people, over and over again, that I use screen reader software. Specifically: Apple BoiceOver. I think it’s important to be a “willing ambassador” when addressing questions from people who genuinely don’t understand.

I NEED the Starburst iPhone. This thing looks terrible out of the box (me and the other shoppers at Best Buy all said the same thing!), but this? This looks great.

Normally I try not to say anything negative about presentation style, but constructively I have to say I’m not a huge fan of CNET trying to lean into (what someone thinks is) Tiktok-style content.

Short form is fine, but the annoying sounds/music thing feels like a try-hard move from an aging tech brand. Expertise has universal appeal, so I would focus on shoring up that, not trying to meme the place up.

Stop, don’t clean it with bleach and hydrogen peroxide, it might lose colors, instead you should use alcohol then wipe it then clean your fingers then avoid using it in sunny days
