WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:08.360 my new phone arrived I just have to choose it and I got to admit I'm a 00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:12.719 little scared I don't know what's worse the Android Fanboys who are going to 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:17.080 tear me apart for choosing an iPhone or the Apple Fanboys who are going to tear 00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:23.199 me apart for picking the wrong one in front of me I've got the 16 16 Pro 16 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:29.320 plus and 16 Pro Max and by the end of this one will have replaced my trusty 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:32.040 Galaxy Note 9 I already kind of missed 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:35.840 my stylist you know I use it as a camera shutter button more often than anything 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.000 else so you can use the rear camera and remote trigger but hey I'm not going to 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:45.399 need that because across the whole lineup we get Apple's camera slider 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:48.640 control button thing that I've heard about but haven't actually gotten a 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.640 chance to use yet in spite of the fact that a shocking number of people here at 00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:56.520 the office have already upgraded to these phones dude Andy whipped his out 00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.640 on my recent trip Bella you've already got one you guys are crazy and we'll 00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:05.400 talk about that but first first let's decide whether a titanium versus 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:08.840 aluminum chassis is worth the additional money not to mention the extra 00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.400 accessories that are included with the promo sorry I'm just kidding they all 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:19.759 just come with a standard USBC to USBC cable and a Sim removal tool even though 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.159 the Pro Models do support usb3 transfer 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:27.040 speeds with their type-c port they still only come with a USB 2 capable cable 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:32.040 because Apple wants you to spend a bunch of money on a cable I mean Apple wants 00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:38.240 to say Save the Planet by including less copper one cable at a time oh wait I 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.960 didn't bring my 12 Pro so you guys don't know this but I'm actually kind of a 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.880 closet semi- Apple user already I have a 12 Pro for when I need to take a picture 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:51.000 where the quality matters so instead of just a 48 megapix Main shooter and 12 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:56.159 megapix Ultra wide you get a 48 Main 48 Ultra wide and a dedicated 12 megapixel 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.560 telephoto though it's possible that won't even matter that much to you 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:05.200 because the main shooter on the 16 can apparent ly operate in like a pseudo 12 00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.560 megap telephoto mode with Optical quality digital Zoom whatever that means 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:13.760 anyway we've gotten off the point a little bit the camera bump is bigger and 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:17.519 thicker and the whole phone is actually a little bit thicker and more 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:20.920 importantly is a little heavier it's not a huge deal if I wasn't holding them 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:26.239 side by side I wouldn't care but this kind of reinforces my original leanings 00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:30.319 that I think I want the regular 16 I don't think I'm willing to pay the extra 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:33.800 for the phone it took me until now I've actually had them on for about 10 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:39.879 minutes while I did retakes to notice the thinner pel I totally forgot about 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:43.560 it it's nice aluminum titanium don't really feel that different to me am I 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:50.840 missing something here there's also a slight size difference too aside from 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.959 just the bezels yeah oh so there is very 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.760 very small but you know what that's probably contributing to the difference 00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:03.080 in the like weighty feeling of it okay not now Siri oh my God stop 00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:07.360 oh the dynamic Island ha I get to experience that fresh Joy but I'm 00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:11.120 probably going to get to that more in the full review over on LTT for now I 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.519 want to talk about a feature that genuinely excites me and that is the 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:20.680 action button it's not strictly speaking new we already saw it on the 15 Pro 00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.720 Series but it's new to the regular 16 meaning this is the cheapest you've been 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:28.959 able to get an action button which is essentially just a macro that can be 00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:34.080 programmed for all kinds of cool things so you pulled to by default but it can 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.840 be configured to launch various apps perform a variety of system functions oh 00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:43.879 my God this menu is terrible just give me a scrollable list what the hell is 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:46.760 wrong with you no what do you mean no 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:49.920 this is awful no it's pretty I don't care I can't see what the all the 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:55.120 options are I have to scroll through the whole goddamn thing okay let's look at 00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:56.799 what we got here focus camera wait don't 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.439 I have a don't I have a dedicated camera button okay well whatever I can also use 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:06.280 the action button to launch the camera because I'm into it like that accessibility options that's super cool 00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:12.079 hold on a second can you can you set it to like double tap and triple tap and 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:15.959 long press no oh well um fine I'm going 00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:19.799 to go with flashlight yeah 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.680 buddy wait what oh I got to hold it oh 00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:25.960 you can can you configure it to be a toggle 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:31.880 no okay well wait I got to now I got to hold it 00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:35.120 again okay well progress new across both 00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:36.960 models though is the camera control I 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.000 don't know whether to call it button or slider or I'm going to call it interface 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:47.000 so you press it once and it launches the camera press it again boom you've taken 00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:48.759 a picture that was pretty darn fast was 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:53.160 it that much faster than the double click on my Note 9 and then pressing a 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.360 volume button I don't know but it was definitely fast and it does more than 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.560 just that I can do a light press ooh 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:05.960 that is a really light press and I can adjust my zoom that is why does Apple 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:10.560 scroll everything backwards why do they do that does this 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:15.120 not feel backwards to you you're like a lifelong Apple user it's natural you're 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:21.000 pushing it away or bringing towards it's left and right it's not away or toward 00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:25.840 you the bigger issue is that compared to pressing the screen clicking the button 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:30.120 causes a little bit more camera Shak so one of our camera guys Andy who already 00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:32.840 got himself a 16 Pro is like yeah I'm not going to use it I'm just going to 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:35.880 use the on screen button wow it really doesn't seem more convenient it would 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:40.560 need to be here has anyone talked about the location of this button yet H I 00:05:38.840 --> 00:05:49.080 don't know Apple I think you missed the mark by like 2 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:51.160 cm wow I can almost read the LT on that 00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:56.120 cable tie I could probably find the Easter eggs that incriminated casify on 00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:01.800 your laptop this is awesome the only problem for selling me a pro is that the 00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:03.840 regular 16 is also like freaking awesome 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:08.199 I don't think I've seen anything yet to convince me to go with the pro so right 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:15.919 now we're comparing you know crappy digital Zoom to optical zoom oh dude 00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:20.520 dude you look like trash but here look 00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:22.479 at that glorious okay regular 16 you're 00:06:20.520 --> 00:06:28.039 making him look too glorious right now stop it that's the rare shiny though 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:32.240 Shin it's cuz they're touching they're not touching the point is is that's a 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.720 lot better enough to spend another couple hundred I don't know especially 00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:41.039 when you could spend that money on our sponsor debrand what are they featuring 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.280 today oh it's the new applicator thing 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:48.599 for the screen protector okay I saw their videos of this what this pixel 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.160 this is all pixel stuff uh yeah we don't have the iPhone on but we do have a 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.000 pixel and these are so easy that you can apply them with a blindfold 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:04.560 on Pyramid logo at the top and pull tab 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.560 near the charging port all 00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:11.680 right oh buddy swipe wait 5 Seconds 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:18.919 remove the tray I peeled the whole thing off am I 00:07:14.599 --> 00:07:21.400 an idiot oh dude the glass is on 00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:25.759 it it's so easy I didn't know I successfully did it and this level of 00:07:23.479 --> 00:07:30.120 perfection can be yours with the prism 2.0 atl.com we're going to have that 00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:35.199 linked down below both of them support new photographic 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.000 Styles you can change your I don't know 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.479 your undertones yeah I could do that right 00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:44.879 I'm sure my kids would love this you know one of the other big 00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:50.960 differentiators for the camera is support for 120 frame per second 4K 00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:56.680 recording on the Pro Models and one of Apple's justifications for this like why 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.960 you would ever need that is 120 FPS can 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.360 actually be perfectly reduced to any 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:04.919 other frame rate that you would want to use and I remember having a conversation 00:08:03.159 --> 00:08:08.240 with one of our old camera guys Brandon like eight years ago I was like yeah we 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:12.319 should just shoot everything at 120 because then we can upload at any frame 00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:16.560 rate we want and he was like that's the stupidest thing I ever heard lonus you 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:20.680 wouldn't get the proper feel during panning shots that you get from like 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.759 that cinematic 24 frames per second so we're going to put that to the test oh 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.919 since we're in here this audio mix stuff is kind of cool you can change it to 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:31.919 either sound like a standard phone camera or like more like you were in a 00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:34.959 you know Studio or whatever else did I 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.279 say 100 FPS here let's let's play it 00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:37.279 back at 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.839 25 yeah that's not what I meant by that 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.720 well I'm sure there's a way to do that and I will either figure that out for 00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:54.120 the full review or I will not care about it because I don't care about it let's 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:57.800 talk about what's under the hood both the pro and non-pro are getting a18 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:02.120 class silicon which is an improvement from last generation where non-pro users 00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:07.160 got last gen silicon but we're getting an a18 Pro versus a regular a18 the main 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:12.360 difference between which seems to be a slightely more powerful GPU a bit more 00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:16.040 cache an upgraded display engine as well as image signal processor and video 00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:20.839 encoder all of which are supposed to contribute to more of those pro video 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:25.320 features like that high refresh rate 4K recording I don't know if any of those 00:09:23.079 --> 00:09:30.720 things are the kind of thing that the average person is likely to miss dayto 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:35.000 day although I will say that the differences are starting to add up let's 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:38.240 have a look at the screens now let's play a game I'm not going to tell you 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.959 which of these phones is which you're not going to look that closely at the 00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:46.839 bezel okay you're just going to try and tell from the screen wow they look good 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.279 do you know which one is which if you said this is the pro congratulations 00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:55.839 you're right but shame on you you're a cheater because to the eye the 00:09:53.880 --> 00:10:00.440 difference between these is not discernible even Apple's own specs says 00:09:58.760 --> 00:10:04.399 that they have the same performance when it comes both to Peak brightness and 00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:09.120 even to sustained brightness and we recorded the same in our lab for both 00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:13.040 the non-pro and the Pro Models which I think is a really good thing because it 00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:17.279 means that content creators can Target One display essentially for this entire 00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:22.160 generation of iPhones with the only difference being the slight size 00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:24.360 difference and of course the elephant in 00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:30.160 the room which is the difference in refresh rate so once again the non-pro 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:35.120 does not get a promotion display meaning that it will only run at 60 00:10:32.839 --> 00:10:38.360 HZ have you seen the controversy around the pro where they took a high-speed 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:43.720 camera and found that it only ever reaches about 80 HZ instead of the 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:46.120 advertised 120 dude it's noticeable do 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:50.399 you see that stutter here come come look in person yeah I guess a little bit is 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.040 it just with the 16 Pro uh do you notice the difference between my 15 Pro and the 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:57.720 16 Pro do you notice the difference between the 15 Pro and the 16 Pro a 00:10:55.920 --> 00:11:01.519 little bit I'm hoping that's a software thing the good news is that the other 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:07.519 standout feature of the display having always on display does work yeah that's 00:11:04.839 --> 00:11:13.360 pretty cool and it goes all the way down to one knit which I am a huge fan of 00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:16.480 because I okay I'm sorry I use my phone late at night in my bed I know I'm not 00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:22.000 supposed to but at least this is going to make it I don't know less bad let's 00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:25.800 continue the side by side but this time let's look at audio 00:11:30.959 --> 00:11:37.310 that is an incredible amount of Rumble 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.560 for a tiny little phone 00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:50.040 speaker Things Fall Apart a little bit once you get past about 80% but that's 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:53.679 outstanding okay Pro 00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:01.430 now do you hear that it almost sounds like it has like a bit of subwoofer r 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:05.600 Rumble that should be 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:13.000 impossible my God these sound good are they vibrating the phone a little bit 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.720 dude it almost feels like like a little bit of that sensation of bass like H 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.079 have you heard of the baselet it's like a a wearable device that's supposed to 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.040 kind of like vibrate your wrist a little bit to make you feel more bass it wasn't 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:28.040 that effective but if they're doing something similar on this it's working I 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:32.440 can't to my ears tell the difference between these two they both sound 00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:36.600 flipping awesome though they both have Wi-Fi 7 so that's a non-factor they both 00:12:34.839 --> 00:12:41.480 get the ceramic Shield which is apparently Apple's toughest glass ever 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:45.680 and it was already freaking amazing they both get satellite messages both 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:50.360 outgoing and from a select contact emergency contact incoming and they both 00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:54.800 have sensors that detect if you've been in an accident and will call 911 I guess 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:59.240 the last thing is for me to look at the ergonomics of the different sizes make a 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:03.680 final call here I guess now's a good opportunity to talk about base models 00:13:01.079 --> 00:13:10.600 and pricing apple is still shipping phones so for the 16 and the 16 plus 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.800 with 128 GB of storage which is 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:17.760 absolutely pathetic in this day and age and then they are charging an obscene 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:20.880 amount to get more the pro Max starts at 00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:23.680 256 but the regular Pro doesn't it 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:27.160 starts at just 128 gigs of storage as well so the amount of money that you're 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:34.199 paying to get a pro Max that starts with 256 you're better off buying a lower 00:13:30.680 --> 00:13:36.120 spec phone and um I guess paying an 00:13:34.199 --> 00:13:39.720 exorbitant amount for more storage I mean it's no secret why Apple's doing 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:43.279 this their customers will pay it and they will then turn around and pay them 00:13:41.199 --> 00:13:46.519 even more for an iCloud subscription so that they have somewhere to put all of 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:49.959 their stuff but it's very frustrating for me and it does make the decision 00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:53.720 more complicated because I feel like no matter which one I get I'm kind of 00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:56.920 paying a lot more than I'm really comfortable with it's not necessarily 00:13:55.399 --> 00:14:02.480 about whether I can afford it or not it just bothers me like they start over a 00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:06.560 thousand dollars so what in for a penny in for a pound do I just go pro you can 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:10.279 still buy last generation iPhones and they're still G to get like you know 00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:14.160 five six seven years of software support anyway so that's actually a viable 00:14:11.959 --> 00:14:17.240 option on the iOS platform I could see why people wouldn't want to upgrade 00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:20.399 these things very often dude you run into so many people that are like still 00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:24.440 using their iPhone 8 or whatever and it's like yeah because the lineup is so 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.560 confusing now and it's not even that it's confusing it's that it's so 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:34.040 expensive weighing these different options against each other it's like 00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:38.279 stressful they even all kind of look the same on the table in front of me they 00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:41.959 all got the same ip68 water resistance oh they all have faster wireless 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.480 charging right Meg safe this will be my first time in the Meg safe ecosystem 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.959 kind of excited about that half an hour for 50% charge love that you know what I 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:53.800 think I'm going to go with my initial gut feeling 16 plus 256 gig and then 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.639 anything we left off here I guess we'll cover in the LTT review you know like 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:03.160 the video on the real Channel sorry about subscribe to ShortCircuit though
