00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,120
just a few days into my iOS challenge I

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,719
started to look a little differently at the Apple users in my life they describe

3
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:13,679
Apple products with marketing slogans like it just works as though they

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,439
actually believe them and it made me wonder does Apple have one version of

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:21,119
their products for the True Believers and then a different one for the scrubs

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:26,720
like me because my time with the iPhone 16 plus has been absolutely riddled with

7
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:30,759
unintuitive design choices unnecessarily limited functionality and some of the

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:37,079
weirdest bugs that I've have encountered on a supposedly finished product in

9
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:39,520
years but Mama Sebastian didn't raise no

10
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:43,920
quitters so I've stuck it out for more than the month that I promised and I've

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:49,120
compiled a lot of thoughts both from myself and from helpful members of our

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:54,800
community who see the world through more pink lady lenses and some of their

13
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:57,199
points were extremely valid turns out I

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:02,039
really was just holding it wrong and over time there's a lot about iOS that

15
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:06,920
I've learned to love even on my own but there's also a lot that well to say how

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,920
I really feel I'd probably have to use language that might not sit well with my

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,799
sponsor G skill featuring a cast latency

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:20,360
of 36 and 6,000 Mega transfers of effective speed their Trident Z5 Neo

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:25,280
series of ddr5 memory is a great pairing for any black or white themed AMD build

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:30,960
check it out using our link today let's kick this off with some positive vibes I

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,200
am a big fan of the app Library I know it isn't new but as someone who hasn't

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,399
daily driven an iOS device in a while it's new to me and any effort to

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,439
organize the pure chaos that most of us carry around in our pockets is much

24
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:48,360
appreciated like finally the ability to put your icons anywhere you want I also

25
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,079
appreciate the intuitive and Slick way that iOS handles switching between

26
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:57,840
picture and picture and background media playback I mean how cool is this as for

27
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:03,000
my other primary use of my phone you know phone calls that got a big

28
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,840
improvement too I get so many different

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,319
kinds of calls these days phone teams WhatsApp whatever and iOS streamlines

30
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:13,520
this experience by unifying the interface between all these different

31
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:18,319
apps which is especially nice when I'm in the car it even consolidates my call

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:23,040
logs so I don't have to remember who prefers what when I mash a contact to

33
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,519
call them back multi- widget Stacks are super cool I don't actually know if

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,040
they're new or not but I don't really care quick access and high information

35
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,720
density all always get a thumbs up from me and I use them all the time to

36
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:38,360
quickly check the weather quickly check my calendar now I've heard that these

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,120
are a thing on newer Samsung devices as well but look this video is not a

38
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,120
comprehensive comparison Matrix of every software feature that's ever existed

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,519
it's my thoughts on coming back to iOS after an extended absence and some of

40
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,040
those changes really are refreshing screenshot management has leveled up in

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:00,040
a big way and is full of nice to haves like I love the ability to quickly

42
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,400
delete rather than archive my screenshot after I've shared it with someone and I

43
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:08,480
love the little popup in the dynamic Island to help manage my airpods if

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,680
they're paired to my laptop already and I'm sitting working but an incoming

45
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:18,040
phone call comes in it'll be like hey want me to grab those and I'm like yeah

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,200
thanks actually any sort of interaction between the iPhone and other Apple

47
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:26,480
devices is pretty great like my Apple watch unlocking without needing to mash

48
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:31,080
in the pin if I have my phone unlocked nearby so efficient speaking of

49
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:36,640
efficiency I probably plugged this thing into my nightstand to charge maybe four

50
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:41,239
or five times over the entire month plus that I was using it which Probably

51
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,239
sounds Bonkers but what I found was that just plugging in during my daily commute

52
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:50,560
plus the occasional longer trip was enough to keep me going for literally a

53
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,079
week at a time unless I was binging a

54
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:57,200
show all day or something iOS then noticed this and piped up with a

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,560
suggestion that I switch to 80% maximum charging in order to prolong the life of

56
00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:05,680
my battery that is the kind of proactive user handholding that I can really get

57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,599
behind and the same goes for how aggressive iOS gets about prompting the

58
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,400
user to mute or block app notifications

59
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:18,120
and tracking to be clear Android's tools for managing these things are pretty

60
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:20,359
good too actually very granular but what

61
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,639
Android doesn't do is get all up in your grill about them like iOS does which

62
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,240
results in an experience where if you get a notification on your iPhone you

63
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,520
can be pretty darn sure that it's something you wanted to see or you can

64
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,759
easily get rid of it now pretty much everything so far has been mostly to do

65
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:42,199
with the software but I've got to say I kind of like the hardware too the screen

66
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,000
on the iPhone 16 family is incredible

67
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:48,479
with outstanding brightness for watching videos outside not to mention their

68
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,080
super dim mode that supposedly gets all the way down to one knit and makes

69
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:58,160
nighttime reading way more comfortable for me uh oh here's a fun one you know

70
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:03,360
how phones are supposed to be you know phones I'm getting way better call and

71
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,520
data reception near my house and not just against my ancient note 9 but even

72
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:13,240
against my wife's Galaxy s23 Ultra so I can finally close my garage door from

73
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,520
the driveway all right you guys think that's enough positivity to appease the

74
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:22,319
Apple stands if not I could probably keep going for an entire video's worth

75
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:26,160
but unfortunately I could probably go multiple videos about the things that I

76
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:30,160
didn't love so much so we should probably address at least some of them

77
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:35,080
let's start with how slow the device feels which okay no wait hold on step

78
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,280
away from the comment section I recognize this is absolutely not a slow

79
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,400
device but that makes it all the more frustrating when it feels like Apple's

80
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:50,680
interface decisions are holding me back like the animations they're beautiful I

81
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:55,400
love the way the home screen icons come flying in the first time that it loads

82
00:05:53,039 --> 00:06:00,919
after you set up a new iPhone but I don't need to see it every time I unlock

83
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:06,400
my phone guys guys I've got urgent Facebook Marketplace Doom scrolling to

84
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,000
do and yes before you ask I did turn on

85
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,080
reduce motion and I even tried prefer Crossfade another gorgeous animation by

86
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:17,759
the way but none of that had the desired effect of getting the fluff out of my

87
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:21,360
way so I can just use my phone I'm just picking what I get to look at while I

88
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,720
wait for the UI to catch up with me while we're at it by the way why is this

89
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,919
setting and so many other useful ones hidden away in accessibility options I

90
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,680
can't change that unne necessary slowdowns are going to bother me like

91
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,120
this thing that Apple does where it animates all the steps to get to a

92
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:42,080
setting that I have searched for or clicked a shortcut to the rationale that

93
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,440
I've heard for this behavior is that it's trying to teach me where I should

94
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:51,280
have gone but I got there with a shortcut is that not an okay way to do

95
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,720
it who cares if I know all the breadcrumbs adding insult to injury

96
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,319
depending on how I try to go back I get to click through all of those screens

97
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,639
that it zipped through on the way back to the thing I actually cared about

98
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:09,840
which brings me to a pretty big subject

99
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:11,400
going back on iOS is objectively bad and

100
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:17,039
okay all right something can't be objectively bad but what it can be is

101
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:22,280
objectively inconsistent which from a user interface and user experience

102
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,560
standpoint is well objectively bad I

103
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:30,160
can't believe that Apple still hasn't mandated an official Apple way to go

104
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:34,919
back they seem to be big fans of the swipe in from the left but they only use

105
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:38,639
it just enough to trick you into thinking that it should work all the

106
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,800
time and then bam an app hits you with clicking on the top left like my old

107
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:48,039
iPhone 4 or cancelling in the top right like this and even the occasional swipe

108
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:50,120
in another Direction now app makers

109
00:07:48,039 --> 00:07:55,520
absolutely share some of the blame for this but guys we are 17 years into this

110
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:01,000
experiment so I think it might be time for Apple to just take the darn RS or

111
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:06,479
maybe in other cas is loosen them overall I found carplay to be pretty

112
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:11,120
okay uh my car doesn't have a physical button for previous track so if I wanted

113
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:14,479
to have media controls and my map on screen at the same time I had to use

114
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,840
split screen which I don't prefer I like a nice big map but that's probably more

115
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,639
of a Mii problem and you can't blame the handset makers for all the dumb things

116
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:26,720
that the car manufacturers are going to do so let's not worry about that let's

117
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,120
worry about the bugginess that I experienced every once in a while the

118
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,399
volume would shank itself and I ran into

119
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,080
this issue twice it's probably worth noting I saw this with some random

120
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:42,080
Bluetooth earbuds too though so maybe it's not carplay related actually now

121
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,880
that I think about it there were more problems with audio notification volume

122
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:50,640
would occasionally go super loud there's all the

123
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:55,360
cabling which is apparently an iOS 18 bug and compared to Android adjusting

124
00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:01,279
the volume level of anything you aren't actively using is super nonobvious like

125
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:06,320
Andy how do I change the volume of my like system tap sounds when I'm

126
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,839
listening to Media for ex for example you just m it no but like how do I

127
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,959
change the volume of that I don't know if you've never touched Android

128
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,640
this is going to blow your freaking mind no matter what I'm doing if I touch the

129
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,959
volume button I can adjust my ring tone

130
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,000
my notifications my media and my system

131
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:28,800
sounds the fact that that doesn't

132
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,399
exist iOS users should be rioting in the streets

133
00:09:29,959 --> 00:09:35,320
I know this next one is going to get lost in translation as Android and

134
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:40,399
iPhone users are coming from completely different experiences here but oh my

135
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:45,120
goodness the iPhone keyboard is missing so many things that I completely take

136
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:50,480
for granted as basic functions of an Android keyboard for example while the

137
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,519
iOS keyboard does let you hold down a key in order to modify your letters with

138
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:59,079
whatever diacritical Mark you need or even sneak in the occasional Thorn yog

139
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:03,399
or esset Android lets you use the same Tech technique to access numbers and

140
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:07,600
common punctuation from the first layer of the keyboard you can even dial in the

141
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,800
delay so that you barely have to slow down to insert one of those secondary

142
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,560
characters and this is an absolute godsend for those of us who write our

143
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:20,480
texts like our AP English 12 teacher my greatest on them now I tried switching

144
00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:26,680
over to my usual alt keyboard swift key on iOS but somehow all these years later

145
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:30,079
it is still trash on the iPhone core features are missing like the

146
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:35,279
aforementioned long press tuning and even the ability to resize the keyboard

147
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:39,160
and in general it just feels off with worse predictions and a more tedious

148
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:45,800
process for going back and making Corrections like maybe I want to type

149
00:10:41,959 --> 00:10:48,839
rhis it autoc corrects to this I go back

150
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,639
when no no I meant rhis and I should be

151
00:10:48,839 --> 00:10:56,320
able to fix the accidental auto correct and my capitalization at the same time

152
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:58,560
on the iPhone not so much now if I had

153
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:02,760
to guess I'd say that this limitation probably comes down to Apple giving

154
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:07,639
keyboard apps far less access to user inputs which is probably a good thing

155
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:12,720
but it makes for an overall significantly worse typing experience on

156
00:11:09,959 --> 00:11:17,519
my keyboard of choice which also just would occasionally disappear leaving me

157
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:21,720
with the default weird now one thing that's better about iOS is the super

158
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:27,000
responsive long press keyboard shortcut to reposition the cursor I like it but I

159
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,680
also don't struggle with fine motor control and it's usually faster for me

160
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,480
to just tap the point in the middle of a word anyway so not being able to do that

161
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,639
on the iPhone actually kind of drove me crazy now I've got a lot more things to

162
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,800
get through so let's uh rapid fire a few I can't get to the home screen without

163
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,959
physically swiping the screen after authenticating and then it's animation

164
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:53,040
time again just got out of my way and let me use my phone I can't change the

165
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:57,839
size of the app grid I'm stuck at four wide on the normal iPhone 16 that would

166
00:11:55,639 --> 00:12:01,839
be fine but if you're giving me all these extra pixels on the plus

167
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,519
I'd really like to use them it's like they intend for their larger devices to

168
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,680
just be for the elderly or people who have trouble with the smaller screens

169
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:14,320
and here's a weird one I ran into this problem while rearranging apps I think

170
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,639
maybe the ones I place manually might behave differently than the ones that

171
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,519
are automatically placed sometimes it just gets confused I don't know In

172
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:25,320
fairness Apple's new to this whole putting things where you want them thing

173
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:31,720
and here's a funny one when I was migrating in the first place Apple's mov

174
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:34,680
to iOS app failed twice before actually

175
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:39,920
working and even then it basically just copied SMS photos and WhatsApp I had to

176
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,440
manually sign into to everything including my Google account which left

177
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:47,399
me wondering what exactly was the point of this I'm not sure but I'd like to

178
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:51,560
talk about that Google account for a minute in the past iOS had an account

179
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:57,560
section in the settings app where you could centrally manage and sync your different accounts for email calendar

180
00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:02,160
contacts all that kind of stuff that seems to be gone now but I work for a G

181
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:06,680
Suite organization so I'm going to need my Google Calendar to tell me what it is

182
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:12,240
that I am doing today this is where past experience with iOS got in my way the

183
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:17,160
account setting was gone and I couldn't find an obvious way to add an account in

184
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:21,519
the calendar app so I started looking for workarounds and ultimately

185
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:26,639
discovered that if you open the iOS mail app it immediately prompts you to add a

186
00:13:23,959 --> 00:13:30,160
Google Mail account which will also sync my Google Calendar in the native

187
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:34,000
calendar app now I ended up getting attacked pretty hard for calling this

188
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:39,079
out on the WAN Show but I'm holding firm that this is a prime example of

189
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:43,880
spectacularly unintuitive design the justification I was given for this is

190
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,800
that app settings including accounts should be managed from within the

191
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:53,759
settings app and the apps menu and then the individual app and that is Apple's

192
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:58,759
aspiration but as we've seen with back functionality Apple's aspirations don't

193
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,320
always match reality so let's play a quick game called find the account

194
00:14:01,199 --> 00:14:09,399
management menu in the app yeah this one's in the

195
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:12,160
app another one that's in the app hm

196
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:17,160
they're pretty much all within the apps themselves and while the first party

197
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:22,040
mail app does have account management buried four layers deep within the menu

198
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:25,720
the Apple preferred way for some reason it still prompts you to sign in that

199
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:30,959
first time you open it meaning that if you're trying to sign into an account

200
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:33,399
from within an app that is a perfectly

201
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:37,480
reasonable expectation even if you had no prior experience with other platforms

202
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:42,399
the good news for Apple though is that the solution to this is simple when I

203
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:47,120
click calendars add calendar add calendar and then I have this account

204
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:51,000
thing here that should just be a drop down that should prompt me to add

205
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:55,959
another account instead of it just doing nothing you're welcome now to be clear

206
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,440
this isn't a deal breaker by any means it just means the next time that an

207
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:03,759
Apple fan tells me it's just just so gosh darn intuitive I don't know if I'm

208
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
going to be able to help it I might actually laugh in their face maybe a

209
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:11,800
little Doom scrolling will calm me down and oh boy if you want the long version

210
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,600
of this rant you can check out the W show from a couple of weeks ago but the

211
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:19,560
tldr is when I flick my finger in my

212
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:24,519
news feed or on Reddit I expect the screen to move at the same speed that my

213
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:30,199
finger moved and then decelerate from there I do not expect it to move at

214
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,920
whatever relaxed chill Pace that some

215
00:15:30,199 --> 00:15:37,120
apple focus group has determined is the most aesthetically pleasing in order to

216
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:41,600
hide their 60 HZ refresh rate another thing I touched on during that wow

217
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:44,319
segment is buttons particularly this new

218
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:47,120
camera button here out of the box I kept accidentally hitting it only to have a

219
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,399
user point out to me that I could configure it to require a double click

220
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:57,120
huh well that's super cool I thought I wonder what other apps I could make it

221
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:59,240
LO no camera and Camera adjacent only

222
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,120
speaking of the camera boy was that an upgrade though as someone coming from a

223
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:08,079
six-year-old device I don't know what to say other than I should hope so and

224
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:12,959
besides my main focus isn't on the particular iPhone but rather My overall

225
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:17,319
experience with iOS 18 an experience I could probably go on for hours about but

226
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Tim Apple a more relevant meme than ever these days doesn't have hours to watch

227
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:26,160
this video so how about I boil it down to just one thing that I need fixed

228
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:31,800
let's talk about rotation locks most iPhone users I run into don't even

229
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:34,240
realize this but for a good 10 years now

230
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:40,040
you've been able to lock an iPad in landscape orientation but not an iPhone

231
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:44,680
now we use iPhones as our teleprompters here at lus Media Group and because we

232
00:16:42,319 --> 00:16:48,079
can't lock them in landscape mode we have to train all of our camera

233
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,920
operators in a maneuver that we call the dip to reorient the screen it's

234
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:57,680
something we do so often that we don't even really think about it anymore so

235
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,600
why bring it up because when I was going

236
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,560
through the list of apps in my account since the migration wizard didn't

237
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,799
actually copy my apps over like it said it would and I had to do so manually I

238
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:11,439
came across jetpack joy ride and I was like oh my goodness I haven't played

239
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:15,799
that since the last time I daed iOS it's been years and I immediately fired it up

240
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:19,720
I played it for a second then I put my phone down to make a note about

241
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:24,400
something and when I picked it back up the game was upside down I showed this

242
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:30,720
on the W show as well I gave it the old wiggle I tried to reorient it but no it

243
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:36,679
would only work in one of the two possible landscape orientations what the

244
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,840
heck Apple these kinds of arbitrary

245
00:17:36,679 --> 00:17:43,919
distinctions like which way is the approved landscape orientation assuming

246
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:50,919
I'm allowed to be in landscape at all do nothing for your user they do nothing

247
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:52,679
for your profits so why to be clear iOS

248
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:57,760
has come a long way over the last few years and it can do so much more than it

249
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:02,000
used to do find my as a godsend Spotlight still rules TOS airdrop is

250
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:07,240
legitimately super cool as long as everyone around me has an iPhone but

251
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:13,280
Apple still has some work to do to be willing to accept that after the iPhone

252
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,000
leaves the factory it's my iPhone and if

253
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:19,120
I want to hold it like this instead of like this or I want to use it as a

254
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,520
teleprompter that's my business if I want to move the dynamic Island to the

255
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:28,159
other side that should be my decision too and until Apple's willing to truly

256
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:33,480
Embrace that rather than begrudgingly give us little breadcrumbs I just don't

257
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:39,120
think this is for me which doesn't mean that it's bad if you love your iPhone

258
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:42,000
and it works for you you are not wrong

259
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:46,400
just don't get upset if you run around declaring that your preferred ecosystem

260
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:50,240
is the best and not everyone agrees with you especially if you've never spent

261
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:54,559
significant time on the other side of the Divide maybe we need some kind of

262
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:58,280
cultural Exchange program you know like 6 months of seeing how the other half

263
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,520
lives that could be a really interesting experiment now if you'll excuse me I

264
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:06,880
need to go hide from some Fanboys oh but not before I tell you about our sponsor
