00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.879
remind me in three minutes to make a point to our viewers

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:10.719
okay i'll remind you at 5 13 p.m

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:16.480
i spent the last three weeks exclusively using the iphone 11 pro max apple watch

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:21.439
series 5 and the second gen airpods to immerse myself in

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.920
the ecosystem as much as i could

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:29.599
and i was constantly frustrated by the clear and obvious problems that apple

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:32.480
has had years to fix and just hasn't bothered with

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

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:43.120
hate speech about how bad apple is you guys can chillax because there's lots of

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.320
good stuff here too along with some strange stuff like

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:52.320
what is so pro about a phone

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.320
so it's with this question in mind that our journey begins

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.719
right after today's sponsor ruggable ruggable rugs are spill resistant stain

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:05.439
resistant and machine washable they even stay in place with their non-slip pads

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

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:13.830
below

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.720
so the setup process was awesome as usual apple finally dropped the sim

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:28.560
requirement to activate your new device and they moved iOS 13's new dark mode

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:33.360
front and center on the setup screen now some third-party apps don't respect

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.280
that setting but otherwise it's great and i never switched it off again and

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.439
there's a lot of other smaller things that add up too stuff you might not

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:46.240
notice at first but when you do you'll wonder how you lived without it like

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:51.119
offline dictation which i immediately enabled when i saw it and i also enjoyed

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.799
that siri's voice responses sound more natural than ever before tell me a bad

00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.240
joke i was so late to the cannibal banquet

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:04.479
they just gave me the cold shoulder wow that one was good hard pressing

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.280
wi-fi in the control center now gives you a list of

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.200
nearby access points which makes all the sense in the world and

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:17.920
what about the fact that you can attach a photo to a reminder that's freaking

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:23.920
awesome actually the new reminders app overall just makes Android's handling of

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.400
reminders look stupid unlike Android you

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:29.520
can set any ringtone you want even a longer

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

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:38.239
i don't know you might actually want to notice and be reminded about

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:43.360
anyone else notice the reminder from my uh Android phone

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.360
no me neither also managing your tasks

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.840
is straightforward with easy ways to both mark completed and delete outright

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:54.239
and my only complaint about it is that reminders can be easily swiped away with

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.319
no way to restore them and so parents who lend their phones to their kids will

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.760
know why this could be a problem another nice to have is that apple now provides

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.040
what looks like a way more accurate set of battery stats than their competition

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:13.599
and even made it easier to replace the battery with convenient pull tabs that

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.840
contributed to ifixit's six repairability score so

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:23.120
good job apple is what i would say if they hadn't

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.599
gone and added drm to their batteries at the same time as saying that they

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.319
consider them to be consumable

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.840
guys it's called right to repair for a reason

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.480
not privilege to repair which i guess brings me to some of the

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:45.519
low points of iOS 13 for me compared to previous versions apps are prompting me

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:50.080
constantly on privacy and security permissions this used to be an Android

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.760
problem not an apple problem and there are a lot of other little

00:03:51.680 --> 00:04:00.799
things that they've had generations to fix now i will complain about the lack

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.760
of t9 dialing on the iphone until i am

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:08.879
old and gray and the fact that your home screen always ends up looking like that

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:14.159
one relative's desktop you've just got everything on there

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:18.799
why is it all there furthermore i still need to swipe from the very bottom to

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:23.199
fully unlock the phone and the frosted glass back can make large hand shifts

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:27.120
like the one to get down there and then back up here very dangerous

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:31.840
why don't they just use haptic touch to scroll through notifications and then a

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.040
flick to unlock or vice versa also

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:38.080
carplay is still bad even compared to the

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.680
horrendous recent Android auto update navigate to subway

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.479
siri has this major delay between activation and when she actually starts

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:51.360
listening apple maps needs manual input for most navigation and when i dared go

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.000
outside the ecosystem with my google play music subscription i only got music

00:04:53.919 --> 00:05:00.160
playing about half the time and then never with the screen actually working

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.199
so i could see what drak was playing though in fairness google should

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:06.720
probably be shouldering some of the blame here and actually i guess it's

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.400
kind of an aside but i need to get this out of my system both

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.800
apple and google need to grow the

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:20.160
up and start treating the users of another platform as what they are

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:23.600
you're paying customers i'm not the only one complaining about

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:26.880
this google play music issue on the iphone and it has been

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:32.240
months and this childish app kneecapping even

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:36.960
carries over to the apple watch where you still

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:38.560
straight up cannot interact with a gmail

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.199
message seriously

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:47.600
your multi-billion dollar companies put your heads together and figure out

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.960
how i can scroll through as much of the email as i damn well please then

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

00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.039
i am your customer and i am one of many

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:06.160
people out there who pays for your service but might not always use your

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:11.600
operating system as for the apple watch itself i actually love the hardware it finally

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.560
has an always-on display making it the first apple smart bracelet that also

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:21.680
functions as a competent watch wow dictation is great but with a great

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.919
big asterisk there's no way to make quick corrections you need to press the

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:29.199
digital crown to cancel and try again from scratch so if whatever you're

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:33.440
trying to say is kind of jargony or full of acronyms then good freaking luck

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:39.840
honestly the thing is full of these kinds of simple user experience gotchas

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.720
siri can't understand how to mute my notifications so i have to do that

00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:48.800
manually hey siri mute my notifications

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.440
to see your notifications swipe down from the top of your apple watch face

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:57.840
longer emails often cut off after the first paragraph which misses the point

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:02.400
of a smartwatch entirely for me and some apps have no way to click through and

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

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:10.720
function i mean how is this still acceptable to apple how is this still

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:14.080
acceptable to apple's users why am i dictating to this right now

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:19.919
stop it just feels like apple is backwards in

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

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.919
watch is actually the only place where 3d touch still exists on a current

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:32.479
generation apple device uh 3d touch was one of my favorite

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:38.960
features that apple introduced with the iphone 6s unfortunately it wasn't a 6s

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:43.360
i guess so they killed it i had said before that

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

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:50.240
press that buzzes so

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

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

00:07:56.479 --> 00:08:04.639
haptic touch which is just long pressing with a nice vibration

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

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

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.479
thicker than before and only 0.4 millimeters of that is from thickening

00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:21.759
the phone out right actually maybe apple has been listening to me all along

00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:26.720
in a backhanded sort of way and what that culminates in is a worst-case

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:28.720
scenario of over six hours and 20

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:32.800
minutes for the pro in geekbench forest battery life with the pro max even

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.360
better than that and that's that half screen brightness not bad at all

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.120
as for the rest of the guts there are a lot of adhesive seals

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

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:49.120
such an impressive to the point of honestly being kind of overkill level of

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:54.320
ingress protection four meters of water is deeper than most

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:58.720
swimming pools go so you would have a hard time killing this phone with

00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:03.040
submersion alone and if something did die virtually everything inside the

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:07.120
phone is a detachable module even the face id sensor and selfie camera are

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.600
separate from the display in case you need to replace that someday which you

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.920
might because the screen on mine scuffed the first time i put it in my pocket

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:19.600
with nothing else in it the front and back glass may have proven to be every

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:24.320
bit as shatter resistant as apple says but the hardness at least from my

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.959
experience doesn't seem to have followed suit so i would recommend a case

00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:33.440
and a screen protector because guys you do not want to break this thing

00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:40.640
dumb super retina display xdr

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:43.200
name aside the screen really is great

00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:48.399
not only is it incredibly sharp and bright at any given time thanks to its

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:50.800
sustained brightness of 800 nits it can

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:56.399
even hit 1200 nits while viewing HDR photos and videos that is a 20 higher

00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:03.279
brightness than even most high-end monitors and tvs and get this the

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.040
display HDR spec only actually calls for

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.680
500 nits on true black displays like

00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:14.320
this amoled one to put it in a mobile perspective it's nearly double what the

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:19.360
iphone 10s max and most competitors are capable of so it's great for showing off

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:23.440
those next-gen smart HDR photos that you can take with the three rear cameras

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:28.959
did i mention it looks great from any angle love this thing all right cameras yes

00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:32.880
cameras plural i'm starting a movement where we don't call these lenses anymore

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:36.720
because that isn't what they are it's like me like jumping from my minivan

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:42.560
over to my motorbike and saying i'm changing my tires slow fees are

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:47.760
irrelevant i hope but the front-facing camera is a lot better than previous

00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:51.279
generations and i am all for that the stock camera app while still lacking

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:56.079
professional shooting modes even on the pro models is still very simple very

00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:00.800
usable and they've added a bunch of features including a much more mature

00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:04.800
edit mode in the photos app and and samsung i hope you're taking notes they

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:10.240
added the ability to quickly capture video while you are in photo capture

00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:12.640
mode this is such a useful feature and i

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:18.560
can't even begin to imagine through what convoluted process samsung managed to

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.720
pioneer it only to abandon it later and

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:23.360
then let apple take the lead i guess i'm just glad to see it coming

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

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:33.040
rendering engine makes extensive use of the a13's bionic machine learning

00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:37.600
accelerator to quickly identify what's in the image and optimize for it it

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.240
works in two parts the first is similar to traditional HDR and that's a buffer

00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:46.560
of underexposed frames which is used to reconstruct detail in bright areas and

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:50.880
then a single overexposed frame that's taken for reconstructing darker areas

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:55.120
then the engine scans for things it recognizes the sky gets denoised while

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:59.360
hair is sharpened and faces are given subtler highlights and shadow processing

00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:03.839
from the previous step to retain a more striking true-to-life effect this is

00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:08.399
also how apple manages to pull off their high key light mono portrait effect

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:11.760
lttstorm.com by the way all of this has helped even further by a

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:15.279
combination of optical image stabilization and software image

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:20.079
stabilization that makes for a ridiculously

00:12:16.959 --> 00:12:22.880
stable shot both while shooting stills

00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:27.760
and obviously it's especially noticeable while shooting video the ultra wide

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

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.519
notice just like it's tough to notice any significant difference in image

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.920
quality between the three cameras they all look great as we saw in our non-pro

00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:43.680
iphone 11 review though not everything is perfect and compared to the likes of

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:47.200
the pixel line results can sometimes be below par in terms of clarity and color

00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:51.120
accuracy but i don't think anyone's going to

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:55.680
complain about the image quality overall here what i'll complain about is that in

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

00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:03.519
could switch between them seamlessly and there is definitely a delay when you do

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

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

00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:16.399
their way to temper expectations during their demos and zooming isn't as smooth

00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:22.160
as i was expecting and i guess that's really what this all boils down to

00:13:18.839 --> 00:13:24.000
expectations there are so many things

00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:29.040
that are missing that would lend the iphone 11 pro some

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:34.240
pro street cred like a high refresh rate display usb type c bi-directional

00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:40.560
wireless charging professional shooting modes a high quality analog output or a

00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:44.720
reduced or removed notch but if we take a step back from

00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:47.680
telephoto and have a look at the ultra wide picture

00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:52.079
the whole thing comes together in a way that's still really positive

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:55.200
even if i think it costs more than it should and

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.560
everyone should just buy the iphone 11 non-pro so

00:13:57.199 --> 00:14:03.839
stupid name stupid camera bump and decidedly last

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:08.959
generation looking display notch but it's the most premium iphone experience

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:13.519
and long gone is the time when iOS versus Android is some kind of black and

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:18.240
white this one is better decision and anyone who says otherwise is frankly a

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:22.320
pathetic fanboy now to be clear i've preferred Android for quite some time

00:14:20.079 --> 00:14:28.720
now and as of filming this i'm already back enjoying the widely varied

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:32.639
if sometimes buggy hardware ecosystem on the Android side of things this time in

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

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

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:44.720
to make a point about the deplorable state of Android smart watches so thanks
