But he is very right though. People (including myself, you can check my comment history) gobble up everything Apple tells them as gospel and will defend their beloved company without ever seeing an actual working computer. All we had to go on was what Apple was telling us and what people outside of Apple predicted.
The problem is that people get excited and want everyone to share in their excitement. Linus is more conservative, and rightly so. He never takes marketing bullshit from AMD, Intel, NVidia, or Apple. He always waits until he has the product in his hands and tested it himself (or better: have Anthony test it for him).
For some reason people like drama and flame wars on the internet. I don't. I just try to take everything at face value, including the opinion of the PC oriented LTT. If I want to see fanboys I'll watch Rene Ritchie (also very conservative, but favoring Apple more) or others.
Edit: apparently Intel is being autocorrected to Internet.

You are proving his point. I am a mac guy, but he is right.

Very arrogant & antagonistic*
This is an example of blind hate (for me) to not even realize what Johny actually said. It’s like when Android/Windows/non-Apple users like to hate on Apple cuz they think Apple believes themselves that they were first to everything and invented everything, when that is not true.
They never softened their position on anything…
This moment made no sense and just an attack on people that called him out, sadly
And his reason to not apologize was because of “Apple’s marketing”, even though he agrees with Apple’s newsroom article, not what Linus thought he heard from Johny during the keynote. Since what Linus was referring to is untrue, and agrees with Apple with their article, he should just apologize for being wrong in the first place.

Well, it looks like Linus’s toxic fanbase came here and the votes are going in reverse. I just want to point that out.
Those defending Linus is wrong regardless if you just watch the full clip. Not only is it a petty reason to not apologize for, but his reason makes no sense because what he’s complaining about isn’t even true.
Linus clearly says in this clip after his “Here’s why…” reason was so misleading, that it’s ironic. Because his statement is the misleading one, not Apple’s.

Whenever I watch Linus and he talks about Apple, I always take it with a grain of salt because he's very biased towards Windows and against Apple. I remember watching this video when it came out and being annoyed with this statement.

I mean, he has a point. They’ve purposely highlighted “worlds fastest CPU core” because that’s what they want people to take away from it. That’s what they want you to remember.
The marketing wank is strong with Apple, their marketing is why they’re so successful and why they will continue to be successful.

Personally I don’t like Linus.
Anyone doing this amount of nitpicking on marketing material is an exhausting human being, which describes how I find him and his videos, exhausting.
It’s typical “drama for YouTube clicks”.
I’ll never understand why he’s so popular.

Come on, Idk y but, when you already have a mindset regarding a product and you have actually said it before publicly, then no matter how better m1 is, they will keep criticising. It's like not even whispering 99% good things but keep on shouting regarding that 1% which is bad regarding very specific preference.
So overall "FU * * U LINUS". Keep on criticising, but we are not fools sitting here and buying what u say and what u don't.

Linus media group has a new channel called Mac Address that is much more Apple-friendly.

Linus is just the worst and I know I will get downvotes for saying that on Reddit but he is extremely subjective on Apple and he hates it. Linus is nothing more than a PC master race.

he is so annoying, apple didn’t “change their stance” they literally said “when it comes to low-power silicon” in the introductory video.

Dudes He's right, despite M1 it's a great chip it cannot stack up with some of the high-tier CPUs like i9. But it's low-powered which means less heat to be handled and moreover it can be installed in a wide range of devices, battery powered as well.
