1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,080
the world was shocked when the iPhone 7

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:11,120
and 7 plus burst onto the scene completely devoid of nonproprietary

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,400
ports with only a single lightning connector that is to say the parts of

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:20,720
the world who have completely ignored anything that Apple's done in the last

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:23,160
couple of years they were shocked anyway

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:28,680
I've spent my usual few weeks with the latest I shiny and I am ready to talk

7
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:37,399
about the experience

8
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:45,960
Intel skull Canyon knck features a sixth generation core i7 quad core processor

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,239
and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link

10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:53,120
in the video description the iPhone 6s won my 2015

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,079
phone of the Year award for its shocking performance and it would appear as

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:03,280
though the iPhone 7 is gunning for the same prize it rocks Apple's stunning A10

13
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,680
Fusion a quadcore design that borrows at least conceptually from the big little

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:14,159
chips that have been commonplace on Android phones for years in both qualcom

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Snapdragon and Samsung's exos processors

16
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:22,200
it features two high performance cores about 40% faster than the A9 if Apple's

17
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,920
to be believed and two low performance cores that consume only about a fifth of

18
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:32,960
the power of the high perf ones and it seems to be working wonderfully the

19
00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:39,320
iPhone 7 installs apps as quickly as I can download the last one and managed

20
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:42,759
with only a moderately larger 1960 mAh

21
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,520
battery to completely address my ongoing

22
00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:50,640
complaint about Apple's devices that they have wonderful standby power then

23
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,799
they drain so fast you can watch your battery bar burn if you have the

24
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,880
audacity to use GPS to go any further than the corner store as for the rest of

25
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:06,079
the specs there's more good news I iPhone users finally get more RAM at 3

26
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,960
gigs if they get the bigger 7 plus the

27
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:14,239
earphone speaker doubles as a serviceable stereo speaker now yay Apple

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,800
used the headphone Jacks space to add a barometer which is neat I guess and you

29
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:25,160
can get up to 256 gigs now of regrettably

30
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,080
non-expandable storage with the 16 gig

31
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:35,080
model having finally been asked to make way for 32 gigs on the base model of the

32
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,480
traditional colors or 64 gigs on the new

33
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:42,280
jet black color which I guess is a clever scheme to raise asps by

34
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:46,720
convincing status Seekers to buy a higher tier than the base if they want

35
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:52,920
their friends to even be able to tell that they have the new one since the

36
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:55,000
seven looks externally so similar to its

37
00:02:52,920 --> 00:03:00,239
predecessor on the subject of other things similar the screen hasn't changed

38
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:06,159
much either wide color gamut is a welcome and forward-looking upgrade but

39
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Apple has stuck with 1080p on the iPhone

40
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:13,599
7 plus and 750p on its little brother

41
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,000
but I support this and even though they

42
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,720
put the lock and volume directly opposing each other which is a frequent

43
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:23,480
gripe of mine they got the tactile feel

44
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:28,680
perfect I almost never accidentally pressed one while reaching for the other

45
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,200
some of the other physical changes though I'm a little more hesitant to

46
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:40,200
endorse let's do the solid state home button first I really like this move it

47
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:43,599
feels as clicky or subtle as you want

48
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,080
and like the 2015 MacBook I often forgot

49
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:50,760
that it didn't move it will only wear out if the upgraded taptic engine inside

50
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:56,360
the phone dies and it improves the Seven's resistance to water and dust the

51
00:03:53,879 --> 00:04:02,120
only thing missing here is a software update to allow its pressure sensor to

52
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,280
operate without skin to button contact I

53
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:11,239
haven't needed gloves yet this year but as we Canadians say winter is coming

54
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,680
next up is the IP67 water and dust

55
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:17,400
resistance I'm surprised this took so long given that water and Falls account

56
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:23,479
for 95% of iPhone deaths but I absolutely

57
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:29,199
love this move and customer happiness aside More Alive iPhones is great for

58
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Apple's trade-in program and refurbished device business business selling a

59
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:40,080
product for a margin even a little bit of margin a second time is just plain

60
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:43,560
good business leading us to number three

61
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,400
the removal of the headphone jack I said

62
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,919
in my Odyssey sign review which you can check out here that if they removed it I

63
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:54,800
better be getting something significant in return and honestly especially with

64
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:59,400
the waterproofing I think they pulled it off and besides what I've discovered

65
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:05,080
from talking to other seven and seven plus owners and trying to keep my own

66
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,160
mind open is that even my general

67
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:12,240
objection to carrying around a stupid adapter put me in a smaller minority of

68
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:17,000
general consumers than I previously thought I think my badminton buddy Jason

69
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,240
put it best when I asked him about it eh I haven't really noticed I use my jbirds

70
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,800
for everything anyway great wireless bluetooth

71
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,759
headphones like senheiser pxc 550s are

72
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,039
everywhere and the little retention doodad like Motorola includes with the

73
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:37,440
Droid Z would easily address the issue of losing the included adapter for audio

74
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:42,960
file IMS which Won't Go Wireless anytime soon meaning that my only real remaining

75
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:49,720
issue is charging and listening to podcasts while I sleep at the same time

76
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,080
a $15 problem or 25 if I want one that

77
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:59,080
also adds volume and track control on to the camera it's simply put

78
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:04,680
amazing and I even spent most of my time with the single sensor 7 as opposed to

79
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:10,000
the Dual sensor plus it doesn't have Oodles of more megapixel or whatever but

80
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:14,800
Apple's color science and auto white balance deliver a much more true- to

81
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,759
lifee image on Full Auto than I thought was possible and through thirdparty apps

82
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,440
you can capture Raw photos which is almost like an extra bonus at that point

83
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:30,080
low light performance is on point the selfie cam was upgraded and even the app

84
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:36,039
launch time is amongst the best that I've seen though Auto Wake screen and

85
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:40,680
swipe to the side is still a touch slower than a gesture or a physical

86
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:46,440
button that I can press without looking at the device in some

87
00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:52,280
situations with that said I have much bigger complaints about iOS 10 software

88
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:57,520
wise there is some good stuff I'm not sure exactly when it happened but Apple

89
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,120
Maps has a great UI now Siri still works

90
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,000
better for me than Okay Google I don't use a ton of widgets but it's swell to

91
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:08,479
have the option and force touch continues to improve with notification

92
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:13,400
interactions combined with being able to respond within the notification itself

93
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:18,759
being my favorite use for it but there are also some glaring emissions and some

94
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:22,840
Polish deficiencies dictating while writing an email allows the cursor to

95
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,319
scroll under where the keyboard would be making it impossible to see what you're

96
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:33,319
saying I still find the swipe back gesture very inconsistent one-handed

97
00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:38,080
operation in general feels bolted on and clunky rather than like a fundamental

98
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:42,080
part of iOS's design I'm baffled that the Google Now clone today view thing on

99
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,720
the left of the home screen doesn't have a working back button when you click on

100
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:51,280
a suggested article I don't get the organization of the settings menu

101
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:56,400
sometimes the dial pad and phone controls still aren't on the same screen

102
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,240
adding unnecessary button presses I really missed Samsung's excellent

103
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:06,840
magical White pous powered spam and caller ID database I hate how I still

104
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:11,360
can't control the cursor precisely on first touch if I have steady hands

105
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:16,599
please let me turn off the auto guidance here Android's management of multiple

106
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:20,199
volume sliders is much better since it actually allows the ringtone to be

107
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:26,560
adjusted while listening to music for example and finally and perhaps most

108
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:29,120
importantly where the is T9 dialing

109
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:34,479
Apple some of us know a lot of people and this is is an unassailably better

110
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,519
way to call in frequently used contacts that doesn't interfere with any of the

111
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,680
other ways that people can also use it just add

112
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:50,120
it but this is the company that took years to add copy paste

113
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,160
so bottom line time the iPhone 7 is not

114
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,040
a revolutionary product and I could go on for a while longer with all of my

115
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:01,320
complaints about its accompanying operating system but I'm sure we're all bored of that but what it is is a

116
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:07,399
continuation of Apple's onward March towards Hardware Perfection and the A10

117
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:09,519
processor at its heart gives a lot of

118
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:13,959
credibility to the analysts who believe that Apple will eventually replace the

119
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:19,480
Intel processors in their thin and light designs with their own but that's

120
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:24,720
besides the point do I recommend the iPhone 7 and the 7 plus well as long as

121
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:28,640
you have big enough hands for the plus and as long as you don't mind making a

122
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:33,600
pile of useless apps to reach the ones that you care about

123
00:09:30,079 --> 00:09:35,519
then yeah I guess I do dbrand is your

124
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Source For The Wicked vinyl skins you saw on our iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus in

125
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,680
fact the marble one on the iPhone 7 managed to sell one of my friends on a

126
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:49,920
dbrand skin pretty much immediately that's one of their newer Styles they've

127
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:55,399
got a wide variety of different colors of genuine 3M vinyl skins and they all

128
00:09:52,880 --> 00:10:00,640
feature unrivaled Precision thanks to the way they are cut their configurator

129
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:05,760
is great too because it allows you to view and pick out exactly what you want

130
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,120
for your device and preview what it's going to look like in your hand whether

131
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,640
you want something tasteful or whether you want something totally gudy and

132
00:10:11,079 --> 00:10:16,760
tacky you will know exactly what's going to arrive and there's no excuses which

133
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:22,320
isn't to say though that their customer service robots aren't great and easy to

134
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:26,240
deal with if you ever do have a problem dbrand Skins are affordable they're

135
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,959
