No he doesn’t understand.
He does have a good eye for design. And he’s used a lot of phones so he certainly isn’t inexperienced. But he doesn’t understand what tradeoffs are made and why.
Such as bigger battery = heavy big phone. Or newer generation chips being more efficient with the same battery capacity. And recycled Aluminum being nothing special, as it’s one of the easiest materials to recycle but recycling it does consume a lot of energy.
Or in this case, repairability of the phone.
He knows more than his audience but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
A prime example is when he kept asking for bigger batteries. After those arrived he suddenly realized that the phone becomes very heavy. Because the battery is one of the heaviest and most space using components.
This right to repair greenwashing too. Someone tells MKBHD a nice story and he laps it up. He just has a wishlist of features but there’s no technical background to understand the tradeoffs manufacturers are making.
Mark Rober is a massive fraud. Recently he started selling out to the military industrial complex too.
MKBHD has great editing but he’s not tech savy at all.
He has great presentation and videography but when it comes to actual knowledge it’s the blind leading the blind.
People critical of Apple get put on the Apple media blacklist.
MKBHD sucks up to Apple so he keeps getting early access to their events because Apple = Views.
MKBHD is still responsible for spreading advertorials.

To be fair it’s great value hardware if you don’t care about privacy.
Man’s in need of that Apartheid transplant
Their mini OLED screen is an absolute gamechanger but damn that thing must be expensive.
Also if the battery is already external I don’t see why they didn’t put the processing off the headset too. The thing is way too heavy.
At the point you want to upgrade this chip swapping out the entire SOC including the RAM is likely a better option.
The current iterations have far more potential than the past.
But the hardware is stil too power inefficiënt and the display pixel density is expensive to produce.
And they will be sure to make every “mistake” people warned them about in stage 2 when they reach stage 5.
The Pi4 had a good price on release. Then Covid hit.
With the Pi5 the Pi foundation is just milking it. Overpriced chip on an inefficient outdated 28nm process node.
Oh I didn’t know that. I was familiar with Scifive for higher end RiscV stuff, and MilkV for the cheaper and midrange boards.
You’re forgetting to include the Pi heatsink, the Pi power supply and the Pi enclosure.
The Pi5 is already a shitshow with crazy power usage requiring a special power supply instead of a normal USB C phone charger.
The non-profit could sell the for-profit, or it would inherit the debt of the for-profit if it didn’t bankrupt it.
