00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.800
so for the first time ever I'm reviewing both the number and number s variant of

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.759
an iPhone why you might ask well maybe

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:15.519
it's happening because I've gone full mainstream that is when I'm not busy

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:20.960
running two gaming systems off a single Tower like I did in this recent video or

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:26.160
maybe it's because the 6s is legitimately a really interesting phone

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:31.620
maybe even more so than the six before it what makes it so interesting you

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:36.559
might ask I guess we'll find out won't

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.680
we V cell cases are exquisitely finished

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.760
bumper cases made of wood and aluminum for the iPhone 5 6 and 6s series

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.239
products they're stylish slim minimalistic and just plain gorgeous

00:00:53.079 --> 00:01:00.039
check out the link in the video description to learn more For Better or

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:05.400
For Worse other than the new pink color and yes it's pink rose gold Apple has

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:10.560
changed pretty much nothing about the device outwardly in spite of outcry

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:14.680
about the antenna panty lines or the ever popular rumors about Apple removing

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.240
headphone jacks or doing away with the physical home button it is to the naked

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:24.720
eye indistinguishable to anyone but a member of cooks cult from the previous

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.240
generation device which isn't to say at

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:33.040
all that this is the same phone being repackaged and sold to us as if it's new

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.439
they really did change a lot first there

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.799
was the knee-jerk reaction to the iPhone 6 Plus's Bend gate Fiasco which was to

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.680
assure us that the new phone is made of 7,000 series

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:51.159
aluminum then there's the really cool under the hood stuff like man this is

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:56.159
great if the S is for Speed then wow did the engineers ever take that to heart

00:01:53.479 --> 00:02:00.520
first you've got the new A9 CPU which is lightning fast and single-threaded tasks

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.119
and even surprisingly competitive with quad and eight core processors in

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:09.520
multi-threaded workloads not to mention it's chart topping new GPU which is

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.680
useful for accelerating a lot more than games by the way with video and image

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:22.920
processing workloads both being capable of utilizing a graphics processor second

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:26.760
while Apple retains that inexcusable

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:29.879
$900 16 gig model a capacity that cost

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:32.560
$500 off contract back in February of 20

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:36.440
8 by the way they have at least acknowledged that RAM has gotten cheaper

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:41.599
and have finally upped the anti when it comes to system memory giving both the

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.920
6s and the 6s plus a bump to 2 gigs for

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:50.360
better multitasking which coming back to storage leads to our next s bullet point

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.120
the onboard storage it's noticeable like

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:59.480
daytoday opening apps switching between them loading web pages noticeable that

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.120
the 6s is fast and it's too much of an

00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:07.120
improvement M over the six for it to be CPU speed alone but I had no idea why

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:12.599
until I read Joshua ho from a nonex early benchmarks of the 6s where he

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.560
figured it out Apple engineered an nbme

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:20.200
SSD controller for this new lineup no wonder it feels so fast we're talking

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.840
about a phone with storage that's nearly twice the speed of other Flagship

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:31.720
devices out there that are still using emmc holy crap and there are actually a

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:34.599
few more s notes before we move on the

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.439
AC Wi-Fi Now appears to be Wave 2 which resulted in the following speeds

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:42.879
compared to our iPhone 6 on a Ruckus r710 access point running on a gigabit

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:46.680
fiber internet connection the S6 supports LTE Advanced if you're one of

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.000
the lucky bastards with service in your area and the fingerprint scanner is more

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:55.000
reliable when covered with Grime or water and it is lightning fast now like

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.720
to the point where it's actually kind of inconvenient if you're like me and

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:02.159
habitually wake your phone to view notifications with the home button

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:08.000
they'll be gone before you even have a chance to see them enough about speed

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.640
though let's talk about 3D touch right

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:15.439
now the way it's used in some cases is just kind of a party trick a really cool

00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:20.079
well-executed party trick but if we're being honest with ourselves the amount

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.479
of time that you save Force touching the camera app and then clicking selfie

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:29.000
versus launching the camera with a gesture like you can do on some Android

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:33.639
handsets and then choosing selfie mode is not sign significant where it really

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:38.440
got my attention was in Safari where it legitimately changed the way that I

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:43.680
browse the web similarly to how tabed browsing did for me on the desktop like

00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:46.479
I'm I'm a skimmer so being able to force

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:52.280
touch articles or threads in a forum and read now in a new tab or save for later

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:58.280
is flipping awesome and I can see this being used in so many ways because now

00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:01.360
with Force touch we effectively have three different clicks that we can

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:06.160
execute on a single thing you've got your short your long press and then

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:13.600
you've got your deep press and like I said in my 2015 MacBook video it just

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.960
feels great to use like I complain about

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:19.759
crappy vibration Motors in phones but for the most part the guys that are

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:24.240
doing it well have all been doing it the same level of pretty well for a while

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:28.680
uh-uh this is a whole new level it's easy to feel while it's next to you it

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:33.800
is damn near silent when it's not next to you so you don't get that

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.000
noise with the only disadvantage here being that uh it's kind of hard to find

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:42.919
if you accidentally drop it between a couch cushion like I did good thing for

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.360
me though I had an Apple Watch on when I did that so I was able to Ping it with

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:51.440
that little feature which is about the only good experience I had with the

00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:56.360
Apple watch first gen while I was doing this review I was really hoping that

00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:00.840
watch os2 would change my mind about the Apple watch and I could justify doing a

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:04.680
full review of watchos too but that's not going to happen time travel is

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:08.560
slower than just swiping through events would be and the way that it desperately

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.120
clings to its pathetic battery life makes for a terrible experience I feel

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:16.319
bad for me and everyone else who bought one still which on the subject of

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.400
software I guess leads us to ios9 there's still a lot of random stuff that

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:24.160
drives me crazy clearing the search field in apple map still requires me to

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:28.919
click again to start typing a new address and that ridiculous multitasking

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:34.759
Rolodex thing that I thought we all agreed was bad in Windows Vista why is

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.560
that back in fashion and and holy Apple

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:42.039
Implement T9 dialing if you're watching this it's

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:47.160
2015 let me dial the numbers that correspond to the names of my contacts

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:48.919
it is way faster than going through the

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:55.560
contacts list and you know what some people have more than you know 10

00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.440
contacts okay it's way better on a more

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:01.720
positive note Apple continues their excellent support of older devices some

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:06.560
that many Android users poo poo noting that performance is often degraded in

00:07:03.400 --> 00:07:08.360
these cases but I personally prefer to

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:13.680
having gaping security holes and what was it something like

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.759
87% of the user base out there so

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:19.160
there's that and on the subject of features they've added some welcome

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.280
stuff like that handy proactive thing when you swipe to the left that shows

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:27.280
you you know cool nearby stuff relevant news that kind of thing they've got this

00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:32.080
cool battery life widget for your phone and your connected devices in the today

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.879
pull down um the scrubbing browsing

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:40.759
feature in photos I absolutely love especially when combined with the HTC

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:44.159
zoyes Snippets of live action with a second and a half on either side of the

00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:48.400
shutter press that go along with your still photos in live photo mode those

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:52.240
are cool and then there's about 60 other some odd cool things this isn't a

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:56.199
comprehensive iOS 9 review check out the article Linked In the video description

00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:01.520
on iphon hacks.com for a more complete list back to photos in the meantime

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.639
though the rear camera is great but not nearly as revolutionary as you might

00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:10.680
think given the huge megapixel bump from 8 to 12 I mean to be clear it's very

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:18.280
competitive with the Galaxy S6 and the LG G4 but so was the iPhone 6 and if you

00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:20.479
do a lot of lowl Photography or 4K video

00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:25.199
recording which by the way it records 4K now which is cool the lack of optical

00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:28.919
stabilization in the non-plus model will hurt you that is to say unless you

00:08:27.080 --> 00:08:33.839
happen to be rocking inline skates when it's time to capture a moment the selfie

00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.880
camera is a big Improvement it's 5 megapixels now and I guess having the

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:42.959
screen boost its brightness to act as a pseudo flash is better than nothing but

00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:47.839
I still prefer the super wideangle lens on the Galaxy S6 for my portraits which

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.399
I guess leads us finally to the conclusion you can like apple or you can

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.640
hate Apple I don't care and frankly I doubt that they do either but what I'm

00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:01.040
tired of hearing from the haters in particular is Apple doesn't innovate

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:05.920
innovate a new thing to criticize them about I mean sure Apple didn't invent

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.360
the idea of higher resolution displays being better when they launched the

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:13.720
iPhone 4 they didn't invent fingerprint scanners for authentication with the 5S

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.720
and they sure as hell didn't invent fast storage being critical for overall

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:23.160
system performance with the 6s but what they did do is Implement these

00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:28.880
Technologies in a compelling way in a real product that isn't just a tech demo

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:31.320
the six didn't impress me it was uh hey

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:35.800
I can make a bigger phone 2 response to the changing Marketplace and did nothing

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:41.360
to lead the industry the 6s on the other hand is a striking return to form and

00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:44.240
takes the place of the iPhone 4 as my

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:48.160
favorite iPhone yet this is a device that has so much to offer that Apple

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:51.839
didn't even feel the need to draw attention to the fact that it's just

00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:56.839
about as water resistant as any other phone on the market it's a device that I

00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:01.200
feel like you could buy with confidence knowing that it will last a long time

00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:06.040
before there is a meaningful reason to need an upgraded iPhone that is to say

00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:10.279
unless they finally decide at some point to compromise a millimeter here or there

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:14.240
and deliver a 4.7 in device with a half decent sized battery in it I made it

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:19.519
through the day without a charger only about 70% of the time but for some

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:24.800
reason we all accept that aspect of the iPhone experience so I guess complaining

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:26.600
about it won't do me any good and on the

00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:32.160
subject of complaints we've had a few complaints that our phones always have

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.760
those vinyl skins on them in our b roll

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:37.760
and so we took those complaints and we burned them in a fire today's episode

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:42.680
sponsor is dbrand you head over to dbrand.com you put in whatever device

00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:48.079
you've got whether it's an iPhone 6s or whether it's a PlayStation 4 or like a

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:51.440
Macbook or they even do game controllers those ones are freaking cool and then

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:55.519
you go ahead you go through their customizer utility which is awesome and

00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:58.920
gives you a really great idea of what your device is going to look like you

00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:04.760
pay a reasonable price for a high quality vinyl skin and then you pay $3 flat

00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:08.000
shipping to have it shipped to you they've got tons of happy customers

00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:12.600
they're one of the sponsors that we get just boatloads of positive feedback

00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:17.160
about they've got great customer service and overall we can't say enough positive

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:24.600
things about dbrand so will phones continue to have dbrand skins on them in

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:26.959
our reviews yes they will so there you

00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:58.720
actually took the iPhone 6s and liquid cooled it compared to some other top

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:03.519
tier devices like the Galaxy S6 Edge as well as the LG

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.519
G4
