I’m not gonna lie I clicked on this video on a whim, but God knew I needed this. I’ve been going through my own health struggle since last year. Heavy pain all the doctors say there’s nothing wrong. Going all over my city trying to find something. Feeling like there’s no end and hopeless everyday. I use to dabble in TH-cam and I don’t cause I’m so shot. Doesn’t seem like it’ll end. My wife comforts me and a few friends but that’s it. I’m grateful and seeing you do this opens my eyes a bit. It’s a rough ride life is cruel but finding the little things turns into the big things. I doubt you’ll see this but thank you for the video. Gives me a little bit of hope. A little bit of gratitude.
Same thing, been years suffering of nerves inflamation, tendinitis, back and neck pain, dizziness and tinnitus, no one has given me a solution, or a real cause, i almost fell into depression, but hey you know what….just live your life whatever it is day by day, offer this suffering to God ….do sport, hit the gym, eat well, get rid of all sugar, soft drinks, carbs, pasta pizza bread, seed oils, eat well! I found that when i changed my diet things improved , still no pain free, but better!! You have a choice, to let things put you down or to decide to do something about it. If you can’t change something embrace it
@@wakeupcall2665 I have tried many of those things. I’ve had stomach issues since I was 4. In and out of the hospitals. Pills I don’t wanna be on to function. Just the last 2 years I’ve been in and out of the hospital no solution just trying not to give up but it’s hard. I appreciate tho. I’ll keep trying some of these things you said.
@@dottorcarlone we’ll said man. I appreciate that a lot. It’s been hard. I’m in the same boat. I’m super depressed and everything gets to me because it all gets worse. I’ve been in and out of the ER like crazy in the last 2 years to the point that the ER doctors ignore me cause I’ve been there so much. Some even say I’m making it up and it makes it worse. I’ve been seeking treatment and trying to do my own things. I am close giving up and I have limited or eliminated things out of my life to help but it’s hard. I have my wife and family. They are the only ones keeping me going rn. I pray every night but it’s hard. I do hope you find answers and get better tho. I truly do.
@@josephpisciotta6022 it is hard but you’re not alone, even if you feel alone cause these things only you know in reality what you’re experiencing and going through, but you’re not alone, there are lot of people out there battling with things we don’t even know while pretending to be ok. It’s life, don’t be depressed, depression is lack of hope, you have your family that loves you, there are people that don’t even have that. Start from the things you can control, like your family’s love, yourself, your thoughts and attitude, live in the present, not in the past or future! Problems or not, good health or not, we’re only temporary into this world. I found that suffering without faith is pure darkness and despair, but if you believe in God and offer your pain you become co- redeemer with Christ on the cross, through your offered pain, God can save people of your family or a friend or someone you don’t even know, because everything is a balance…it took the sacrifice of a God to offset the sins of the world, Saint Padre Pio said “if people would get to understand the true meaning of sufference they would pray to suffer” pray the Rosary every day, and i promise you, you’ll find comfort, peace, and strength…. The best advice i can give you is to pray the rosary.
You can feel so much love oozing out of that man you ended up filming with. It’s amazing when vulnerability is met with genuine love for a neighbor, someone like oneself. The way he was looking at you seemed to me as if he saw an aspect of himself in you, maybe when he also went through a hard time in the past, but saw that you can make it through. Thank you for sharing such a blessing!
I feel that after the various controversies that have arisen after the launch, this video motivated me to change to the 16 Pro max, now I just have to look for its accessories
The TH-cam algorithm and subscribe all didn’t surface this when it came out, but the may be my favorite 16 Pro Max review yet. Nobody had hit on the video aspects like you did, which is one of the things I care about. I didn’t pick-up a 15 series as have a 14 Pro Max, now I have the 16 Pro Max as a target. So great to see you and hear how things are going. You are one of my favorite humans on TH-cam and everything you do brings such a human warmth with it. Thank you! Great to see and hear you again. Peace to you.
I was an Apple employee from 2012 to 2021 and I had my own mental health and physical health issues. I sadly had to leave at the end of 2021 because of them(but Apple was awesome during those times), but helping people during those years was what got me though each one of them. These videos make me smile because I hope I helped people like yourself and may others to enjoy their Apple products. It was a joy working for Apple and it's a joy just hearing your updates every step of the way. I hope for continuing updates and I hope for continued progress.
Hey, Apple employee here, I work in operations, and can attest that Apple does definitely take care of their employees. There’s many many benefits and a lot of resources to help you with health and life related issues!
Wow... A Jonathan Review. Feels almost nostalgic, and also like a child. So excited and as usual, quality on TOP. We miss you please do more of these. Thank you, thank you thank you
I have an undiagnosed fatigue disease that robs me of my time and my life. If you’re reading this Jonathan, read it 3 times. You, as you are, on those days when you feel like you’re at 20%, 40%, 60%; are still you. Your 20% is still more than many others have at their 100%. We SEE it in your passion. In your shot compositions. In your editing. In the way you chose to let us see that behind the scenes shot of you holding the mic and the light for someone else to shine. You, at your 10%, on your worst day of the year, is still good enough for all of us. Don’t let the pursuit of your 100% stop you from giving out 100% of whatever you’re at that day. You are good enough, all of your days. And I had to wrestle with that and battle that. When my son wants me to give him a piggyback ride, but 5 years in Afghanistan, missing half of his life, meant I can’t ever pick him up again. He still hugs me and tells me I’m his best hero. I’m still the best dad for him, even when I can only give him a 30% day. I give him 100%. And it’s enough for him. You are good enough for us.
the fact that this video spoke to me due to me having vision loss due to a pituitary tumor that presses on my optical nerve hit me. my prolactin levels were 7423 a couple months ago and now that I have had some medication to help lower that, I am still having some vision issues but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel Jonathan, I know exactly how you feel. I am hoping that my vision comes back and all we can do is keep faith and stay positive.
You showing this side of life, of your life, is so valuable and humbling. It’s great to see you back! Your channel only caught my attention because of that video, as I’m nearing the end of my own eye problems and can understand the intensity of what you’re talking about. I’d had a problem with one eye and the retina specialist said we’d follow it but it’d be fine, but a month later my other eye had a worse problem (but no real symptoms!) and had I not already been seeing a retina specialist I’d have ignored it and gone blind in what one month earlier was deemed my good eye - I say this only because for anyone reading you should talk to a doctor for little symptoms because it’s far better to let the doctor catch a small problem before it turns into a big problem because you yourself chose to downplay it and not seek information. You really inspired me to get back into photography with that video, I hadn’t realized how much I missed letting it go over a decade ago because I didn’t think I had time. Having it back in my life has brought me the feeling like I can breathe again, having the right creative outlet is essential to life.
I was so thrilled to see your name pop up on my feed again. I almost teared up. When I cried while watching your video. As I recall I cried the last time too. I hope you keep getting better and better, and I hope you can continue doing what you love. You have a gift, and you are a gift to the world.
Always lurked but never commented but I just wanted to say I’ve watched your forever I think I was a sophomore in high and now I’m in my late 20s and always loved your old desk builds that I mimic a lot in my setup and I’m glad I get to continue to see you follow what you love no matter what gets in your way. all love
Ironically I believed the things you say about the smaller phones. I rocked the 12 mini since its released, but as of yesterday I finally upgraded to the 16 pro. The size was what I was looking for and not the pro max. Keep up the hard work and dedication John, I’m rooting for your recovery.
Oh wow someone actually liking the iPhone 16…you don’t see that often. TH-cam is filled with people hating on the phone and telling people not to buy it. Telling people how to spend their money. This is refreshing. The only reason I haven’t upgraded is cos apple intelligence isn’t live yet. Get well soon. I wish you good health.
Jonathan, I contracted Shingles for the first time ever earlier this year. I had no idea how serious it can be. I ended up in hospital for a week as it attacked the nerves that control my diaphragm. To cut a long story short, I had serious breathing issues and I am still really suffering to this day. Good luck with your ongoing recovery.
Hey John, my heart goes out to you man. As a veteran whose body is all messed up, and in some cases will only get worse, I understand in some instances, where you’re coming from. I’ll stand with you man. Praying that life continually gets better and you find a sense of normalcy.
23 years of poor health. It's changed my life in countless ways! Like today has been really tough and I've been stuck in bed all day. The one big thing I've learned is to try and appreciate the smaller things in life. When I'm feeling down and out i try to focus on things I'm grateful for. I have it had and know there are others that have it much worse than i do. I hope your health issues keep improving. It's such a challenge to have your life altered in such a significant way. Good luck moving forward!
I got shingles during the lockdown. My health TANKED (I presume stress related) like it’s never crashed before. I sympathize completely. I’ve been relatively healthy before that. Glad you’re on the road to health. It was a good sized recovery for me. Hope yours goes faster.
Man, this is such an interesting perspective to a tech review... if you could even call it that? I think speaking about the emotional impact it's made on you and the accessibility is a really refreshing and enjoyable take on this world. So many creators just geek out over spec sheets and seem to push the rampant consumerism because "Its new", but hearing you talk as someone that's been legitimately impacted by some of these features and highlighting the real world positive impact is really, really nice. Hope so see more stuff like this from you, and always so excited for an update from you! Wishing you the best through all of this
The fact it can text via satellite when there is no service for whatever reason is something no other phone can do and is worth the money for that function alone
Proud of you. Been following you since 2016. You’re an inspiration to me because I also found out during the 2020s I have autism and watching you deal with and overcome the mental state inspired me. Thankful to see you’re doing good. Prayers sent sir.
I understand how you're feeling with dealing with something that's life changing. I've been diagnosed with heart problems that's life changing for me. Having 'HOPE' is truly important. Wishing you all the best!
Nice to see you back! Your MagSafe song is a hit I really love and since that I watched almost all your videos, wish you getting better and hoping for more videos!
Hi Jonathan. I had a condition called ADEM (Acute Disseminated Encephalo-Myelitis) that also led to vision problems among other symptoms. I can definitely relate to the phone being my only computer and not being able to use anything else while being stuck in bed. It’s been a journey getting back to normal, so I’m glad you’re feeling a lot better and are back on TH-cam. Here to support you and looking forward to your next video, no matter how short or long it takes to make.
I’m glad to see your back and able to pursue the things you want in life. I missed your coverage and I hope your health continues to get better. Wish you all the best Johnathan!
Damn bro, i had shingles years ago in my late 20’s or early thirties and it nothing to play with. They were on my back, and with that being said, I’m glad u are making a recovery. I’m 41 now bro…Be Blessed & good video✅
I really feel for you dude. I can tell the experiences you've had have heightened your appreciation for tech and it's really great to see someone appreciating instead of shilling (or selling) the tech to us.
I just got over having shingles on my face. It was on my nose near my tear ducts and on my eye lids. It started in June and lasted through the end of July. You had to go through to worst. I can’t even comprehend that.
Hey Jonathan, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much of an impact you've had on people like me. I'm from Germany, and your videos have played a huge role in helping me learn English. You've made me laugh, smile, and think about cameras and tech in a completely new way. Thank you so much for that! Please keep doing what you're doing-I'm excited for every new video you put out, and I truly hope life will treat you well. All the best, and thanks again for everything! Lukas
Baby steps 'bro... I'm sure everyone is just happy to see you post a video. But you shouldn't feel pressured in any way to produce more than you can handle, and at a pace that you're comfortable with. At the end of the day... none of this is more important than your health, physical and mental.
Jonathan. Brother. Thank you so much for being brave. For being bold. For being vulnerable. For sharing your journey with life-altering illness. And how technology is giving you yourself back, bit by bit. The mourning, the balancing act between hope and perseverance and acceptance, the darkness, and ultimately the light, these are the truths and the depths that nobody can prepare you for when such real adversity strikes. As a fellow survivor, I want to thank you for your strength, thank you for your inspiration, and thank you for keeping on keeping on!
Man this hit me like a train I’ve been going through my own stupid health stuff and completely empathize with you Johnathon. Good luck in your journey and know that you are loved!
There are still other folks but back in the day, your videos meant perfection to me. Everything about your reviews were so pleasing to the eye. Glad to see you back and wish you good health, Jonathan.
I love it that your reviews are even more personal and detailed about your life and what you experience. Keep at that! You bring so much more to the table ♥ Always loved your content. Thanks, now more than ever
Jonathan, you are surrounded by love. I can relate on a diff type of level. I was born with a rare, and at the time, unknown eye condition. I had no muscles in my eyes and my eyelids were upside down. they didnt know if i would be able to see, thankfully a miracle surgery, two of them, when i was 6 months old and then 2 years old have allowed me to see and have functioning eye sight. Im glad that you are on the road to recovery
Power, Strength, Hope, Inspiring, Gut Punch, Motivating and I say again, Hope. Suffering from macular degeneration and starting to feel defeated of ever picking up a camera again, I don’t know how I got to your video, but feel it was truly needed. Thank you.
You’re goated bro, one of my favorite TH-camrs ever. I’m so glad you’re finally starting to feel a little better and I know it’s a long journey ahead but you got this!
I upgraded from the standard 13 - to the 16 Pro Max, and couldn’t be happier - anyone upgrading from a couple years old would be very happy!! I really enjoy the camera button because it’s super easy. Found myself using the camera more than I normally would, while at multiple baseball games yesterday. The 5x zoom is awesome if you’ve never used it!!
I’m so impressed by this video. The eloquence with which you share your story, the fortitude it takes to get back to making videos, the adaptations required to make them with a new perspective… but most of all the skill you demonstrate in the shooting of it. It LOOKS incredible from start to finish. Amazing production quality.
I phones have captured the most adventures in my life, I can still go back and review footage from the iPhone 4 when I was in Norway and it looks unbelievable
Great to see you again Jonathan. I’ll definitely check out the other channels. Your content is always top notch. Glad your health is heading in the right direction.
I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm over tech these past few years so how fitting is it to open TH-cam and see one of the original tech content creators that I first started watching. Thanks for uploading, Jonathan. I wish you all the best with your health. Please don’t stress and take your time easing back into creating if that’s what you need.
If you didn’t know Jon is a cool dude. Never met this brother in person, but still remember you reaching out to me when I was looking to start my channel. Happy to see you doing well
Love your take on the intangible benefits of using a phone vs a “big” camera like the Sony. The reaction of the subject and how comfortable they are is so important and I won’t take it for granted.
Hearing about Jonathan's situation really puts into perspective just how much we take the little things for granted. Rooting for you man! Seeing your journey inspires me to keep on going and loving harder every day❤
The iPhone has come a long way. If you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have noticed it. I think we’ve all missed your unique voice in the space. I echo the other sentiments here that the world feels like a better place where we get to hear it. Hoping for your complete recovery.
Hello Jonathan, my first time watching your TH-cam channel, it was very good by the way. I was struck by the pure love and support of your viewers and the reverence that show for you in the comments. Thank you sharing your thoughts on the iPhone 16 Pro Max; which I just bought today. I hadn't done that much research on the phone as I was coming from a iPhone 8plus anything was better. You helped me feel better about my purchase , that I will get mid October. Thank you and wish you continued healing and good health .
Hey brotha, been watching your videos from the start probably over a decade ago now. When I was in highschool and now I’m 30. And I really get excited when you post videos. Would love to see you get back on the TH-cam train full swing. Don’t feel bad for yourself. You’re a tank and we all support you.
Had a bad case of shingles 2 years ago and had a serious eye infection of mysterious origins while my son had chicken pox. Freaked me out. Hope you recover soon!
Good to see you back!!! listening to your journey is very relatable and encouraging...been documenting experiences with NGO's in Nigerian and my iphone 14pro max has been coming in clutch...videos on iphone are really phenomenal
When I got into tech reviews, it was your who kept me informed and loved/love how you’re straight up with your reviews yet keeping the videos easy to understand for the normal joe. I been a fan since the beginning and I cannot wait to see you grow King. “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it's not how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.” You got this bro! And your fans/friends will always be here for you. ❤
Hoping you have a speedy recovery! For someone who’s wathced your videos for years (you’re my favourite TH-camr) it’s so refreshing to see you doing what you love again!
Hey man just wanted to let you know I was thinking 30 seconds before seeing this video “I wonder how Jonathan is doing” so I searched your name and saw this video upload, got genuinely pumped to see you’re doing okay bud. This is also one of the better reviews I’ve seen on an iPhone and major bonus for it being from your perspective. Keep it up :)
Got some insight up on why I’m using the 16 pro max instead of “real cameras” th-cam.com/video/zGTmO6wj4ho/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cD7x1Wjnmiu6730i
only thing that sucks about Black Magic Camera is when it occasionally decides to NOT RECORD AUDIO making syncing audio a chore later
Hello you amazing human being!!🎉🥹🥹🥹 so glad to see you again!!
hey
should I get the 15 pro or 16 base?
thanks :)
So glade you are still trying to get stuff out there. Gives me a big kick in the butt to make stuff.
Hi Jonathan- do you think the iPhone 17 pro max is a bit too big?
Good to see you back jonathan! Hope you recover fast.. ❤❤❤❤

Totally unrelated to Jonathan‘s video, but start looking into your diet. Keto/Carnivore may be the thing you’re looking for. It certainly helped me!

Dude it's true I feel like this was a bumpy launch. What kind of accessories??
broo covers and headphones to see, but something always very important is protection
Well I have one that looks like it came out of an adventure game like Tomb Raider, it's called Vionentus Elite Elite Series leather

Ironically I believed the things you say about the smaller phones. I rocked the 12 mini since its released, but as of yesterday I finally upgraded to the 16 pro. The size was what I was looking for and not the pro max. Keep up the hard work and dedication John, I’m rooting for your recovery.
Honestly, if you hadn’t posted a review it would have felt like iPhone 16s never launched. Makes my day to see you back making videos
We’ve missed you man. Truly hope your health improves and your life becomes a happy adventure full of love, health and good times!
Oh wow someone actually liking the iPhone 16…you don’t see that often. TH-cam is filled with people hating on the phone and telling people not to buy it. Telling people how to spend their money. This is refreshing. The only reason I haven’t upgraded is cos apple intelligence isn’t live yet. Get well soon. I wish you good health.
Jonathan, I contracted Shingles for the first time ever earlier this year. I had no idea how serious it can be. I ended up in hospital for a week as it attacked the nerves that control my diaphragm. To cut a long story short, I had serious breathing issues and I am still really suffering to this day. Good luck with your ongoing recovery.
Your shots are so fucking sweet and your storytelling is out of this world. Every video is a small piece of art.
Hey John, my heart goes out to you man. As a veteran whose body is all messed up, and in some cases will only get worse, I understand in some instances, where you’re coming from. I’ll stand with you man. Praying that life continually gets better and you find a sense of normalcy.
23 years of poor health. It's changed my life in countless ways! Like today has been really tough and I've been stuck in bed all day.
The one big thing I've learned is to try and appreciate the smaller things in life. When I'm feeling down and out i try to focus on things I'm grateful for. I have it had and know there are others that have it much worse than i do.
I hope your health issues keep improving. It's such a challenge to have your life altered in such a significant way. Good luck moving forward!
I got shingles during the lockdown. My health TANKED (I presume stress related) like it’s never crashed before. I sympathize completely. I’ve been relatively healthy before that. Glad you’re on the road to health. It was a good sized recovery for me. Hope yours goes faster.
Man, this is such an interesting perspective to a tech review... if you could even call it that? I think speaking about the emotional impact it's made on you and the accessibility is a really refreshing and enjoyable take on this world. So many creators just geek out over spec sheets and seem to push the rampant consumerism because "Its new", but hearing you talk as someone that's been legitimately impacted by some of these features and highlighting the real world positive impact is really, really nice. Hope so see more stuff like this from you, and always so excited for an update from you! Wishing you the best through all of this
Thanks
The Mac Pro is still my fav video of yours... this video is still levels beyond anything I have seen on YT. Best of luck and health to you
The fact it can text via satellite when there is no service for whatever reason is something no other phone can do and is worth the money for that function alone
i miss u from making smartphone videos. been a fan since i was in highschool
Im happy to see you post man..I hope you doing well
Proud of you. Been following you since 2016. You’re an inspiration to me because I also found out during the 2020s I have autism and watching you deal with and overcome the mental state inspired me. Thankful to see you’re doing good. Prayers sent sir.
Jonathan, you have been inspirational over the years and it's good to see you back. I wish you a healthy and speedy recovery.
Love from India 🇮🇳
You're the real OG!
Good to see you brother!
Love from India
I have missed you videos, glad to see you back up ! Watch the whole thing. I'll keep my 14 pro tho ;)
I understand how you're feeling with dealing with something that's life changing. I've been diagnosed with heart problems that's life changing for me. Having 'HOPE' is truly important. Wishing you all the best!
Nice to see you back! Your MagSafe song is a hit I really love and since that I watched almost all your videos, wish you getting better and hoping for more videos!
Thanks!
Prayers for you brother it’s wonderful seeing you back posting
Thinking of tech through this "lense" is important. Thinking of life through our shared journey of emotions is more important. Props for doing both!
Jonathan is a metal head?!! HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Hi Jonathan. I had a condition called ADEM (Acute Disseminated Encephalo-Myelitis) that also led to vision problems among other symptoms. I can definitely relate to the phone being my only computer and not being able to use anything else while being stuck in bed. It’s been a journey getting back to normal, so I’m glad you’re feeling a lot better and are back on TH-cam. Here to support you and looking forward to your next video, no matter how short or long it takes to make.
What’s surreal is seeing your videos again, JoMo!!! ❤❤❤
Keep getting better and recovering man!
Thank you!
I’m glad to see your back and able to pursue the things you want in life. I missed your coverage and I hope your health continues to get better. Wish you all the best Johnathan!
Welcome back my bro!!!! ❤
Take care of your physical and mental health 😊... That's more important than none in this world.... Life is finite.
Damn bro, i had shingles years ago in my late 20’s or early thirties and it nothing to play with. They were on my back, and with that being said, I’m glad u are making a recovery. I’m 41 now bro…Be Blessed & good video✅
He’s back!
Inshaa Allah get well soon completely
I really feel for you dude. I can tell the experiences you've had have heightened your appreciation for tech and it's really great to see someone appreciating instead of shilling (or selling) the tech to us.
This is the saddest iPhone 16 review on TH-cam.
💀💀💀
Shot on an iPhone 16 max and not the equipment Austin bought him
💀💀
Life isn’t just rainbows and fireworks 🤷🏽♂️
Came here to write the same thing solely based off the title 🤣🤣
3:09 that Lamb of God shirt ❤
Yessir 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I just got over having shingles on my face. It was on my nose near my tear ducts and on my eye lids. It started in June and lasted through the end of July. You had to go through to worst. I can’t even comprehend that.
Hey Jonathan,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much of an impact you've had on people like me. I'm from Germany, and your videos have played a huge role in helping me learn English. You've made me laugh, smile, and think about cameras and tech in a completely new way.
Thank you so much for that! Please keep doing what you're doing-I'm excited for every new video you put out, and I truly hope life will treat you well.
All the best, and thanks again for everything!
Lukas
Digga, beruhig dich 😂 wie cringe kann man nur sein
Thank you for sharing this video. It’s so touching to see someone share their vulnerability like this. Wishing you the best.
Baby steps 'bro... I'm sure everyone is just happy to see you post a video.
But you shouldn't feel pressured in any way to produce more than you can handle, and at a pace that you're comfortable with.
At the end of the day... none of this is more important than your health, physical and mental.
Jonathan. Brother. Thank you so much for being brave. For being bold. For being vulnerable. For sharing your journey with life-altering illness. And how technology is giving you yourself back, bit by bit. The mourning, the balancing act between hope and perseverance and acceptance, the darkness, and ultimately the light, these are the truths and the depths that nobody can prepare you for when such real adversity strikes. As a fellow survivor, I want to thank you for your strength, thank you for your inspiration, and thank you for keeping on keeping on!
Nice to see you again.
Definitely didn't expect the legendary bass player Victor Wooten in your video XD
Never clicked a video recommendation so fast. Not because its a 16 pro max review video, but a Jonathan Morrison video.
I wish you a speedy recovery!
Yes , 4K 120 FPS change lives , finally the end of choppy and slow videos
Wow life changing
@@Y3llowBone if you take a lot of videos yes it is
@@alexdenton6586 true but it’s not life changing 😂
@@Y3llowBone Life changing yes , I know
@@alexdenton6586 ✊
Man this hit me like a train I’ve been going through my own stupid health stuff and completely empathize with you Johnathon. Good luck in your journey and know that you are loved!
There are still other folks but back in the day, your videos meant perfection to me. Everything about your reviews were so pleasing to the eye. Glad to see you back and wish you good health, Jonathan.
I love it that your reviews are even more personal and detailed about your life and what you experience. Keep at that! You bring so much more to the table ♥
Always loved your content. Thanks, now more than ever
Jonathan, you are surrounded by love. I can relate on a diff type of level. I was born with a rare, and at the time, unknown eye condition. I had no muscles in my eyes and my eyelids were upside down. they didnt know if i would be able to see, thankfully a miracle surgery, two of them, when i was 6 months old and then 2 years old have allowed me to see and have functioning eye sight. Im glad that you are on the road to recovery
Power, Strength, Hope, Inspiring, Gut Punch, Motivating and I say again, Hope. Suffering from macular degeneration and starting to feel defeated of ever picking up a camera again, I don’t know how I got to your video, but feel it was truly needed. Thank you.
You’re goated bro, one of my favorite TH-camrs ever. I’m so glad you’re finally starting to feel a little better and I know it’s a long journey ahead but you got this!
I upgraded from the standard 13 - to the 16 Pro Max, and couldn’t be happier - anyone upgrading from a couple years old would be very happy!!
I really enjoy the camera button because it’s super easy. Found myself using the camera more than I normally would, while at multiple baseball games yesterday. The 5x zoom is awesome if you’ve never used it!!
I’m so impressed by this video. The eloquence with which you share your story, the fortitude it takes to get back to making videos, the adaptations required to make them with a new perspective… but most of all the skill you demonstrate in the shooting of it. It LOOKS incredible from start to finish. Amazing production quality.
I phones have captured the most adventures in my life, I can still go back and review footage from the iPhone 4 when I was in Norway and it looks unbelievable
Great to see you again Jonathan. I’ll definitely check out the other channels. Your content is always top notch. Glad your health is heading in the right direction.
I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm over tech these past few years so how fitting is it to open TH-cam and see one of the original tech content creators that I first started watching. Thanks for uploading, Jonathan. I wish you all the best with your health. Please don’t stress and take your time easing back into creating if that’s what you need.
God bless you Jonathan, and may you be 100% healed now. You are ready.
You're the man Jonathan! Keep up the incredible work, and we are all supporting you so so incredibly much.
If you didn’t know Jon is a cool dude. Never met this brother in person, but still remember you reaching out to me when I was looking to start my channel. Happy to see you doing well
Love your take on the intangible benefits of using a phone vs a “big” camera like the Sony. The reaction of the subject and how comfortable they are is so important and I won’t take it for granted.
Hearing about Jonathan's situation really puts into perspective just how much we take the little things for granted. Rooting for you man! Seeing your journey inspires me to keep on going and loving harder every day❤
So glad to see you back Jonathan. Get well soon for us.
Ah man, I choked up at around the 6 minute mark.
Two humans connecting, seeing themselves in each other - it's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
I came here to watch an iPhone review, but also got to hear an amazing journey through a personal struggle. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Appreciate you dude ❤️
The iPhone has come a long way. If you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have noticed it. I think we’ve all missed your unique voice in the space. I echo the other sentiments here that the world feels like a better place where we get to hear it. Hoping for your complete recovery.
Hello Jonathan, my first time watching your TH-cam channel, it was very good by the way. I was struck by the pure love and support of your viewers and the reverence that show for you in the comments. Thank you sharing your thoughts on the iPhone 16 Pro Max; which I just bought today. I hadn't done that much research on the phone as I was coming from a iPhone 8plus anything was better. You helped me feel better about my purchase , that I will get mid October. Thank you and wish you continued healing and good health .
So great to have you back and looking better, my prayers go out to you! Been a long time fan since the iPhone 6 days ❤
You are looking good Jonathan, we are here for you!
Hey brotha, been watching your videos from the start probably over a decade ago now. When I was in highschool and now I’m 30. And I really get excited when you post videos. Would love to see you get back on the TH-cam train full swing. Don’t feel bad for yourself. You’re a tank and we all support you.
Had a bad case of shingles 2 years ago and had a serious eye infection of mysterious origins while my son had chicken pox. Freaked me out. Hope you recover soon!
Jon i missed you so much man, thx for be who you are, for never let you fall! You are giant and a true warrior! My man it’s back!!!
Good to see you back!!! listening to your journey is very relatable and encouraging...been documenting experiences with NGO's in Nigerian and my iphone 14pro max has been coming in clutch...videos on iphone are really phenomenal
When I got into tech reviews, it was your who kept me informed and loved/love how you’re straight up with your reviews yet keeping the videos easy to understand for the normal joe. I been a fan since the beginning and I cannot wait to see you grow King.
“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it's not how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.”
You got this bro! And your fans/friends will always be here for you. ❤
Godspeed your recovery. Awesome video bro. ❤❤❤
Just came across your channel right now but I want to say huge respect… Hope your recovery is going well and wishing you health
Hoping you have a speedy recovery! For someone who’s wathced your videos for years (you’re my favourite TH-camr) it’s so refreshing to see you doing what you love again!
Hey man just wanted to let you know I was thinking 30 seconds before seeing this video “I wonder how Jonathan is doing” so I searched your name and saw this video upload, got genuinely pumped to see you’re doing okay bud. This is also one of the better reviews I’ve seen on an iPhone and major bonus for it being from your perspective. Keep it up :)
