00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.080
the world was shocked when the iPhone 7

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:11.120
and 7 plus burst onto the scene completely devoid of nonproprietary

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.400
ports with only a single lightning connector that is to say the parts of

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:20.720
the world who have completely ignored anything that Apple's done in the last

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:23.160
couple of years they were shocked anyway

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

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:37.399
about the experience

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:45.960
Intel skull Canyon knck features a sixth generation core i7 quad core processor

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:47.239
and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:53.120
in the video description the iPhone 6s won my 2015

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.079
phone of the Year award for its shocking performance and it would appear as

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:03.280
though the iPhone 7 is gunning for the same prize it rocks Apple's stunning A10

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:07.680
Fusion a quadcore design that borrows at least conceptually from the big little

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:14.159
chips that have been commonplace on Android phones for years in both qualcom

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.880
Snapdragon and Samsung's exos processors

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:22.200
it features two high performance cores about 40% faster than the A9 if Apple's

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:27.920
to be believed and two low performance cores that consume only about a fifth of

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:32.960
the power of the high perf ones and it seems to be working wonderfully the

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:39.320
iPhone 7 installs apps as quickly as I can download the last one and managed

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:42.759
with only a moderately larger 1960 mAh

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:45.520
battery to completely address my ongoing

00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:50.640
complaint about Apple's devices that they have wonderful standby power then

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.799
they drain so fast you can watch your battery bar burn if you have the

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

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:06.079
the specs there's more good news I iPhone users finally get more RAM at 3

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.960
gigs if they get the bigger 7 plus the

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:14.239
earphone speaker doubles as a serviceable stereo speaker now yay Apple

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:18.800
used the headphone Jacks space to add a barometer which is neat I guess and you

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:25.160
can get up to 256 gigs now of regrettably

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:28.080
non-expandable storage with the 16 gig

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

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.480
traditional colors or 64 gigs on the new

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:42.280
jet black color which I guess is a clever scheme to raise asps by

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:46.720
convincing status Seekers to buy a higher tier than the base if they want

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:52.920
their friends to even be able to tell that they have the new one since the

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:55.000
seven looks externally so similar to its

00:02:52.920 --> 00:03:00.239
predecessor on the subject of other things similar the screen hasn't changed

00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:06.159
much either wide color gamut is a welcome and forward-looking upgrade but

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:10.440
Apple has stuck with 1080p on the iPhone

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:13.599
7 plus and 750p on its little brother

00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:16.000
but I support this and even though they

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.720
put the lock and volume directly opposing each other which is a frequent

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:23.480
gripe of mine they got the tactile feel

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:28.680
perfect I almost never accidentally pressed one while reaching for the other

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:34.200
some of the other physical changes though I'm a little more hesitant to

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:40.200
endorse let's do the solid state home button first I really like this move it

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.599
feels as clicky or subtle as you want

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:46.080
and like the 2015 MacBook I often forgot

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.760
that it didn't move it will only wear out if the upgraded taptic engine inside

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:56.360
the phone dies and it improves the Seven's resistance to water and dust the

00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:02.120
only thing missing here is a software update to allow its pressure sensor to

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:04.280
operate without skin to button contact I

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:11.239
haven't needed gloves yet this year but as we Canadians say winter is coming

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.680
next up is the IP67 water and dust

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:17.400
resistance I'm surprised this took so long given that water and Falls account

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:23.479
for 95% of iPhone deaths but I absolutely

00:04:20.919 --> 00:04:29.199
love this move and customer happiness aside More Alive iPhones is great for

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:33.400
Apple's trade-in program and refurbished device business business selling a

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:40.080
product for a margin even a little bit of margin a second time is just plain

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:43.560
good business leading us to number three

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:45.400
the removal of the headphone jack I said

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

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:54.800
better be getting something significant in return and honestly especially with

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:59.400
the waterproofing I think they pulled it off and besides what I've discovered

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:05.080
from talking to other seven and seven plus owners and trying to keep my own

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.160
mind open is that even my general

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:12.240
objection to carrying around a stupid adapter put me in a smaller minority of

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:17.000
general consumers than I previously thought I think my badminton buddy Jason

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

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:25.800
for everything anyway great wireless bluetooth

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:27.759
headphones like senheiser pxc 550s are

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.039
everywhere and the little retention doodad like Motorola includes with the

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:37.440
Droid Z would easily address the issue of losing the included adapter for audio

00:05:34.520 --> 00:05:42.960
file IMS which Won't Go Wireless anytime soon meaning that my only real remaining

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:49.720
issue is charging and listening to podcasts while I sleep at the same time

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.080
a $15 problem or 25 if I want one that

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:59.080
also adds volume and track control on to the camera it's simply put

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

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:10.000
the Dual sensor plus it doesn't have Oodles of more megapixel or whatever but

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:14.800
Apple's color science and auto white balance deliver a much more true- to

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:19.759
lifee image on Full Auto than I thought was possible and through thirdparty apps

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.440
you can capture Raw photos which is almost like an extra bonus at that point

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:30.080
low light performance is on point the selfie cam was upgraded and even the app

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:36.039
launch time is amongst the best that I've seen though Auto Wake screen and

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:40.680
swipe to the side is still a touch slower than a gesture or a physical

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:46.440
button that I can press without looking at the device in some

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:52.280
situations with that said I have much bigger complaints about iOS 10 software

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:57.520
wise there is some good stuff I'm not sure exactly when it happened but Apple

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:00.120
Maps has a great UI now Siri still works

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

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.479
have the option and force touch continues to improve with notification

00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:13.400
interactions combined with being able to respond within the notification itself

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:18.759
being my favorite use for it but there are also some glaring emissions and some

00:07:15.919 --> 00:07:22.840
Polish deficiencies dictating while writing an email allows the cursor to

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:27.319
scroll under where the keyboard would be making it impossible to see what you're

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:33.319
saying I still find the swipe back gesture very inconsistent one-handed

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:38.080
operation in general feels bolted on and clunky rather than like a fundamental

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

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

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:51.280
a suggested article I don't get the organization of the settings menu

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:56.400
sometimes the dial pad and phone controls still aren't on the same screen

00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.240
adding unnecessary button presses I really missed Samsung's excellent

00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:06.840
magical White pous powered spam and caller ID database I hate how I still

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:11.360
can't control the cursor precisely on first touch if I have steady hands

00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:16.599
please let me turn off the auto guidance here Android's management of multiple

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:20.199
volume sliders is much better since it actually allows the ringtone to be

00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:26.560
adjusted while listening to music for example and finally and perhaps most

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:29.120
importantly where the is T9 dialing

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:34.479
Apple some of us know a lot of people and this is is an unassailably better

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:38.519
way to call in frequently used contacts that doesn't interfere with any of the

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:42.680
other ways that people can also use it just add

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:50.120
it but this is the company that took years to add copy paste

00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.160
so bottom line time the iPhone 7 is not

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:55.040
a revolutionary product and I could go on for a while longer with all of my

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

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:07.399
continuation of Apple's onward March towards Hardware Perfection and the A10

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.519
processor at its heart gives a lot of

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:13.959
credibility to the analysts who believe that Apple will eventually replace the

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:19.480
Intel processors in their thin and light designs with their own but that's

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

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

00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:33.600
pile of useless apps to reach the ones that you care about

00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:35.519
then yeah I guess I do dbrand is your

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

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

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:49.920
dbrand skin pretty much immediately that's one of their newer Styles they've

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:55.399
got a wide variety of different colors of genuine 3M vinyl skins and they all

00:09:52.880 --> 00:10:00.640
feature unrivaled Precision thanks to the way they are cut their configurator

00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:05.760
is great too because it allows you to view and pick out exactly what you want

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.120
for your device and preview what it's going to look like in your hand whether

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.640
you want something tasteful or whether you want something totally gudy and

00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:16.760
tacky you will know exactly what's going to arrive and there's no excuses which

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:22.320
isn't to say though that their customer service robots aren't great and easy to

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:26.240
deal with if you ever do have a problem dbrand Skins are affordable they're

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:29.959

maybe you are you can check out the video where I water cooled a bunch of

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:09.120
high-end phones a while ago I don't remember when it was but there's a link

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.920
there you can look at the date under the video if you felt like it
