1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,879
remind me in three minutes to make a point to our viewers

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,719
okay i'll remind you at 5 13 p.m

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:16,480
i spent the last three weeks exclusively using the iphone 11 pro max apple watch

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:21,439
series 5 and the second gen airpods to immerse myself in

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,920
the ecosystem as much as i could

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:29,599
and i was constantly frustrated by the clear and obvious problems that apple

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,480
has had years to fix and just hasn't bothered with

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:39,200
however for the Android fans that are foaming at the mouth right now about a 10 minute

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:43,120
hate speech about how bad apple is you guys can chillax because there's lots of

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,320
good stuff here too along with some strange stuff like

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,320
what is so pro about a phone

12
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,320
so it's with this question in mind that our journey begins

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,719
right after today's sponsor ruggable ruggable rugs are spill resistant stain

14
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:05,439
resistant and machine washable they even stay in place with their non-slip pads

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,890
use code fun Linus 15 to get 15 off your order and free shipping at the link

16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,830
below

17
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,720
so the setup process was awesome as usual apple finally dropped the sim

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:28,560
requirement to activate your new device and they moved iOS 13's new dark mode

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,360
front and center on the setup screen now some third-party apps don't respect

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,280
that setting but otherwise it's great and i never switched it off again and

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,439
there's a lot of other smaller things that add up too stuff you might not

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,240
notice at first but when you do you'll wonder how you lived without it like

23
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:51,119
offline dictation which i immediately enabled when i saw it and i also enjoyed

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,799
that siri's voice responses sound more natural than ever before tell me a bad

25
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,240
joke i was so late to the cannibal banquet

26
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,479
they just gave me the cold shoulder wow that one was good hard pressing

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,280
wi-fi in the control center now gives you a list of

28
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,200
nearby access points which makes all the sense in the world and

29
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:17,920
what about the fact that you can attach a photo to a reminder that's freaking

30
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:23,920
awesome actually the new reminders app overall just makes Android's handling of

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,400
reminders look stupid unlike Android you

32
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:29,520
can set any ringtone you want even a longer

33
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,680
ringtone style one that won't shut up until you deal with it for stuff that oh

34
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,239
i don't know you might actually want to notice and be reminded about

35
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,360
anyone else notice the reminder from my uh Android phone

36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,360
no me neither also managing your tasks

37
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,840
is straightforward with easy ways to both mark completed and delete outright

38
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:54,239
and my only complaint about it is that reminders can be easily swiped away with

39
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,319
no way to restore them and so parents who lend their phones to their kids will

40
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,760
know why this could be a problem another nice to have is that apple now provides

41
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,040
what looks like a way more accurate set of battery stats than their competition

42
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:13,599
and even made it easier to replace the battery with convenient pull tabs that

43
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,840
contributed to ifixit's six repairability score so

44
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:23,120
good job apple is what i would say if they hadn't

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,599
gone and added drm to their batteries at the same time as saying that they

46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,319
consider them to be consumable

47
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,840
guys it's called right to repair for a reason

48
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,480
not privilege to repair which i guess brings me to some of the

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,519
low points of iOS 13 for me compared to previous versions apps are prompting me

50
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,080
constantly on privacy and security permissions this used to be an Android

51
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,760
problem not an apple problem and there are a lot of other little

52
00:03:51,680 --> 00:04:00,799
things that they've had generations to fix now i will complain about the lack

53
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,760
of t9 dialing on the iphone until i am

54
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:08,879
old and gray and the fact that your home screen always ends up looking like that

55
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:14,159
one relative's desktop you've just got everything on there

56
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:18,799
why is it all there furthermore i still need to swipe from the very bottom to

57
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,199
fully unlock the phone and the frosted glass back can make large hand shifts

58
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:27,120
like the one to get down there and then back up here very dangerous

59
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:31,840
why don't they just use haptic touch to scroll through notifications and then a

60
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,040
flick to unlock or vice versa also

61
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:38,080
carplay is still bad even compared to the

62
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,680
horrendous recent Android auto update navigate to subway

63
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,479
siri has this major delay between activation and when she actually starts

64
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:51,360
listening apple maps needs manual input for most navigation and when i dared go

65
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,000
outside the ecosystem with my google play music subscription i only got music

66
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,160
playing about half the time and then never with the screen actually working

67
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,199
so i could see what drak was playing though in fairness google should

68
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:06,720
probably be shouldering some of the blame here and actually i guess it's

69
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:12,400
kind of an aside but i need to get this out of my system both

70
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,800
apple and google need to grow the

71
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:20,160
up and start treating the users of another platform as what they are

72
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,600
you're paying customers i'm not the only one complaining about

73
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,880
this google play music issue on the iphone and it has been

74
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,240
months and this childish app kneecapping even

75
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:36,960
carries over to the apple watch where you still

76
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:38,560
straight up cannot interact with a gmail

77
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,199
message seriously

78
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:47,600
your multi-billion dollar companies put your heads together and figure out

79
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,960
how i can scroll through as much of the email as i damn well please then

80
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:58,880
market red if it's not important i've said this before but here it comes again

81
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,039
i am your customer and i am one of many

82
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:06,160
people out there who pays for your service but might not always use your

83
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:11,600
operating system as for the apple watch itself i actually love the hardware it finally

84
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,560
has an always-on display making it the first apple smart bracelet that also

85
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,680
functions as a competent watch wow dictation is great but with a great

86
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,919
big asterisk there's no way to make quick corrections you need to press the

87
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,199
digital crown to cancel and try again from scratch so if whatever you're

88
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:33,440
trying to say is kind of jargony or full of acronyms then good freaking luck

89
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:39,840
honestly the thing is full of these kinds of simple user experience gotchas

90
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,720
siri can't understand how to mute my notifications so i have to do that

91
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:48,800
manually hey siri mute my notifications

92
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,440
to see your notifications swipe down from the top of your apple watch face

93
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,840
longer emails often cut off after the first paragraph which misses the point

94
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:02,400
of a smartwatch entirely for me and some apps have no way to click through and

95
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,160
then throw the app up on your phone even if they do give you full read and reply

96
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,720
function i mean how is this still acceptable to apple how is this still

97
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,080
acceptable to apple's users why am i dictating to this right now

98
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,919
stop it just feels like apple is backwards in

99
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,000
a lot of ways here and the one way where that's a good thing is that the apple

100
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,919
watch is actually the only place where 3d touch still exists on a current

101
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,479
generation apple device uh 3d touch was one of my favorite

102
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:38,960
features that apple introduced with the iphone 6s unfortunately it wasn't a 6s

103
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,360
i guess so they killed it i had said before that

104
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,479
was a hard press on the wi-fi thing no it's just a fakeo hard press it's a long

105
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,240
press that buzzes so

106
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,479
the 10 hour didn't have it and now the entire 11 series pro included dropped it

107
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:58,560
and i'm really sad i really wanted it to take off but instead we're left with

108
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:04,639
haptic touch which is just long pressing with a nice vibration

109
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,560
it's only a little bit slower but i do still miss it for what it's worth they

110
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,199
did make good use of its removal the 11 pro's battery is a full 0.65 millimeters

111
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,479
thicker than before and only 0.4 millimeters of that is from thickening

112
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:21,759
the phone out right actually maybe apple has been listening to me all along

113
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:26,720
in a backhanded sort of way and what that culminates in is a worst-case

114
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:28,720
scenario of over six hours and 20

115
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,800
minutes for the pro in geekbench forest battery life with the pro max even

116
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,360
better than that and that's that half screen brightness not bad at all

117
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:41,120
as for the rest of the guts there are a lot of adhesive seals

118
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,959
yeah but that's kind of par for the course for a phone that is rated for

119
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:49,120
such an impressive to the point of honestly being kind of overkill level of

120
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:54,320
ingress protection four meters of water is deeper than most

121
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,720
swimming pools go so you would have a hard time killing this phone with

122
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:03,040
submersion alone and if something did die virtually everything inside the

123
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,120
phone is a detachable module even the face id sensor and selfie camera are

124
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,600
separate from the display in case you need to replace that someday which you

125
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,920
might because the screen on mine scuffed the first time i put it in my pocket

126
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,600
with nothing else in it the front and back glass may have proven to be every

127
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:24,320
bit as shatter resistant as apple says but the hardness at least from my

128
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:28,959
experience doesn't seem to have followed suit so i would recommend a case

129
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:33,440
and a screen protector because guys you do not want to break this thing

130
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:40,640
dumb super retina display xdr

131
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:43,200
name aside the screen really is great

132
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:48,399
not only is it incredibly sharp and bright at any given time thanks to its

133
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,800
sustained brightness of 800 nits it can

134
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:56,399
even hit 1200 nits while viewing HDR photos and videos that is a 20 higher

135
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:03,279
brightness than even most high-end monitors and tvs and get this the

136
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,040
display HDR spec only actually calls for

137
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,680
500 nits on true black displays like

138
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,320
this amoled one to put it in a mobile perspective it's nearly double what the

139
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:19,360
iphone 10s max and most competitors are capable of so it's great for showing off

140
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:23,440
those next-gen smart HDR photos that you can take with the three rear cameras

141
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:28,959
did i mention it looks great from any angle love this thing all right cameras yes

142
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,880
cameras plural i'm starting a movement where we don't call these lenses anymore

143
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,720
because that isn't what they are it's like me like jumping from my minivan

144
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,560
over to my motorbike and saying i'm changing my tires slow fees are

145
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,760
irrelevant i hope but the front-facing camera is a lot better than previous

146
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,279
generations and i am all for that the stock camera app while still lacking

147
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:56,079
professional shooting modes even on the pro models is still very simple very

148
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:00,800
usable and they've added a bunch of features including a much more mature

149
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:04,800
edit mode in the photos app and and samsung i hope you're taking notes they

150
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:10,240
added the ability to quickly capture video while you are in photo capture

151
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,640
mode this is such a useful feature and i

152
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:18,560
can't even begin to imagine through what convoluted process samsung managed to

153
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,720
pioneer it only to abandon it later and

154
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:23,360
then let apple take the lead i guess i'm just glad to see it coming

155
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:29,200
back because once apple does it everyone's gonna have to do it when shooting photos apple's new semantic

156
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,040
rendering engine makes extensive use of the a13's bionic machine learning

157
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:37,600
accelerator to quickly identify what's in the image and optimize for it it

158
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:42,240
works in two parts the first is similar to traditional HDR and that's a buffer

159
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,560
of underexposed frames which is used to reconstruct detail in bright areas and

160
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:50,880
then a single overexposed frame that's taken for reconstructing darker areas

161
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:55,120
then the engine scans for things it recognizes the sky gets denoised while

162
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:59,360
hair is sharpened and faces are given subtler highlights and shadow processing

163
00:11:56,959 --> 00:12:03,839
from the previous step to retain a more striking true-to-life effect this is

164
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:08,399
also how apple manages to pull off their high key light mono portrait effect

165
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,760
lttstorm.com by the way all of this has helped even further by a

166
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,279
combination of optical image stabilization and software image

167
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:20,079
stabilization that makes for a ridiculously

168
00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:22,880
stable shot both while shooting stills

169
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:27,760
and obviously it's especially noticeable while shooting video the ultra wide

170
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:32,000
camera doesn't get ois but with that wide of an angle it's pretty tough to

171
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,519
notice just like it's tough to notice any significant difference in image

172
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:39,920
quality between the three cameras they all look great as we saw in our non-pro

173
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,680
iphone 11 review though not everything is perfect and compared to the likes of

174
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,200
the pixel line results can sometimes be below par in terms of clarity and color

175
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,120
accuracy but i don't think anyone's going to

176
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,680
complain about the image quality overall here what i'll complain about is that in

177
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:59,279
spite of all the good in the cameras the hype train made it seem as though you

178
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,519
could switch between them seamlessly and there is definitely a delay when you do

179
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,480
it i mean it's not a huge deal like being able to do it with a delay is

180
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,360
better than not being able to do it at all but well apple didn't exactly go out of

181
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:16,399
their way to temper expectations during their demos and zooming isn't as smooth

182
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:22,160
as i was expecting and i guess that's really what this all boils down to

183
00:13:18,839 --> 00:13:24,000
expectations there are so many things

184
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:29,040
that are missing that would lend the iphone 11 pro some

185
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:34,240
pro street cred like a high refresh rate display usb type c bi-directional

186
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:40,560
wireless charging professional shooting modes a high quality analog output or a

187
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:44,720
reduced or removed notch but if we take a step back from

188
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,680
telephoto and have a look at the ultra wide picture

189
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:52,079
the whole thing comes together in a way that's still really positive

190
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,200
even if i think it costs more than it should and

191
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,560
everyone should just buy the iphone 11 non-pro so

192
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:03,839
stupid name stupid camera bump and decidedly last

193
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,959
generation looking display notch but it's the most premium iphone experience

194
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,519
and long gone is the time when iOS versus Android is some kind of black and

195
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:18,240
white this one is better decision and anyone who says otherwise is frankly a

196
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,320
pathetic fanboy now to be clear i've preferred Android for quite some time

197
00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:28,720
now and as of filming this i'm already back enjoying the widely varied

198
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,639
if sometimes buggy hardware ecosystem on the Android side of things this time in

199
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,199
the form of the galaxy fold review to come by the way subscribe so you don't

200
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:40,240
miss it but i actually plan to keep wearing the apple watch if for no reason other than

201
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:44,720
to make a point about the deplorable state of Android smart watches so thanks

204
