1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,719
this may surprise you but my favorite

2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:17,520
iPhone is the 12 mini it's light it doesn't have a

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:24,160
ridiculous camera bump for pictures I don't take I think the wider Notch looks

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,640
better on it and it's the perfect size I

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,880
always thought the original five generations of iPhone screens to be just

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,760
a little too narrow and the 4.7 in screen that came after to be a little

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:40,360
too big the iPhone 12 mini is right in

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,840
between Goldilocks me finally got their

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,280
perfect phone what worries me though is with the 14th generation iPhone Apple is

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,359
reversing course and committing to big and that's a big deal no it's a it's a

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,079
bad deal I'm willing to can see that I'm a

12
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:01,079
minority here after the launch of the iPhone 12 and 13 mini models stoys were

13
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:06,640
emerging that production had to be cut due to unsatisfactory sales volume

14
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,000
thereby justifying the inevitable end of this form factor people like bigger

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,159
phones for instance I was trying to find a good deal on a used iPhone for a

16
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,880
friend almost a year ago I managed to find her a brand new 12 mini on

17
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Craigslist turns out this seller had bought it for his wife but she didn't

18
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,240
like how small it is his loss our game

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:33,720
and now we'd have to take an even bigger hit with the plus because

20
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:37,960
the price it costs

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:40,920
$900 $100 more than the base iPhone 14

22
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:46,360
but crucially it's only $100 less than the iPhone 14 pro all you gain compared

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,000
to the 14 is a bigger screen and a bigger battery with the plus phones in

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:56,000
the 6 and 6s Generations though you also got Optical image stabilization with the

25
00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:01,759
7 and8 plus you got a whole other camera plus more RAM but for another $100 to

26
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:06,079
jump to the for te Pro you get the suite of advanced cameras Dynamic Island

27
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,119
brighter screen new processor stainless steel Pro Design and a partridge in a

28
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,120
pair tree so what are the priorities with the plus not good value surely now

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,160
I think I have an idea of what the priorities actually are they're just

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,280
kind of weird and let me explain how after I show you this video sponsor

31
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:27,879
espresso you ever wanted to try a touchscreen Mac well with their great

32
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:30,720
USBC powered monitors you can I did last

33
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:35,720
summer but the range of aluminum clad high quality displays go much further

34
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,959
with the availability of the pen and espresso Creator screen protector for a

35
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:44,879
pen onp paper- like drawing experience for non- artists install espresso flow

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,800
to enable window snapping and a oneclick workspace launcher as an alternative to

37
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Apple stage manager try this software for free and upgrade your setup at the

38
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:59,400
link below the iPhone 14 has undergone a

39
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,879
major redesign though not that you would

40
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:07,560
notice it still has the 13's narrower Notch diagonal camera Arrangement and

41
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:12,159
a15 Chip sure on the outside there are two new baby colors but the differences

42
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,959
are actually much more than Skin Deep the back glass and I can't believe I'm

43
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:21,280
saying this is actually replaceable it's the first point of entry into the phone

44
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:24,959
in a tear down iix it found that Apple actually went through great effort

45
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:29,280
re-engineering the iPhone 14 improving the repairability back to a 7 out of 10

46
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,560
and reducing the cost to replace the back glass by triple digits so while you

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,360
would have no idea looking at it you might well appreciate it the other

48
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:44,599
improvements include a slightly wider aperture on the main camera and the

49
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:47,879
implementation of the photonic engine

50
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:52,000
I'd say that this makes the camera ever

51
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:54,959
so slightly better than the iPhone

52
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,720
13 but after using this and the 14 pro it's clear that apple is adding a lot of

53
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:03,400
sharpening to their photos it clearly makes the photos you take pop but the

54
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,680
14's photos don't pop significantly over a 13 The Wider aperture is really going

55
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,640
to help when things are darker if you do care about still photos I should note

56
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,079
that a pixel 7 Pro is the same price and

57
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,040
though it struggled in this overcast evening photo it takes the most

58
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:23,120
realistic photos and it's the same size as the plus the biggest Improvement is

59
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:27,520
actually found here at the front the front-facing camera also gets a slightly

60
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,479
wider aperture which is going to be great when you're at the bar at night

61
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:35,680
with your friends but crucially it also gets

62
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:40,199
autofocus this means your selfies will look much much clearer if you're someone

63
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:44,520
who takes a lot of those getting a 14 over a 13 will be worth it and on the

64
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,400
plus you get a bigger viewfinder and the Flash is probably brighter too but what

65
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,560
about this pesky plus if you want a large screen on Android there's one

66
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:57,039
available at every price point if you want a large screen on an iPhone it up

67
00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:02,440
until now would be the most expensive model however even with this the price

68
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,039
to entry has dropped a mere $200 with

69
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:12,880
the plus I am able to get up to and sometimes more than two days on a full

70
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:15,479
charge and I don't care I really don't

71
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:20,120
like big phones and I have pretty big hands sure there were some times where I

72
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:24,960
thought maybe I can live with this maybe I can get used to it but then I put it

73
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,960
in my man jeans and bent down to pick something off the ground you can

74
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,840
definitely feel it in your pocket using it is even more annoying like when I'm

75
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,560
trying to bring down the control center or tap a back button I'm stretching so

76
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:42,800
far this isn't great for onehanded use which is how I use my phone all the time

77
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:49,039
I always thought that the reason someone would get a big phone is cuz they want

78
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,199
to do more doing big tasks on a big

79
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,280
screen is less honorous and therefore you're going to do more of them and then

80
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:01,319
when you're done those tasks you have a nice big screen to unwind with so the

81
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:06,440
thinking goes if you want to live a more focused life off your phone you get a

82
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:10,680
smaller phone but after using this for over a week I don't feel I used it

83
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:14,639
significantly more than the mini in fact I feel like I used it less I'm sure I

84
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:19,440
didn't but perhaps that's because I find the phone so combersome maybe the phone

85
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:25,240
you'll use less is in the form factor you like the least this then confirms my

86
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:30,800
distaste for extra-large phones the midsize 6.1 in iPhone I could live with

87
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:36,080
so splurging another 100 on the pro would make more sense to me actually no

88
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:42,880
because if I were to buy an iPhone right now I would get a 13 Mini at $600 it's

89
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,080
the best deal on an iPhone right now for that money you get double the storage of

90
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:53,000
the equally priced iPhone 12 the same camera as the larger 13 and the same CPU

91
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,440
as the new 14 it even has similar gaming performance unless you're playing

92
00:06:54,039 --> 00:07:02,039
against an impact where the 13 mini shines for small screen stalwarts like

93
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:04,440
me it really is a great phone and it

94
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:09,160
really sucks that Apple has large screen iPhone users over a barrel it really

95
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:13,919
does seem that iPhone introduced the plus as a way to get people to upgrade

96
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:15,759
to the pro and where still it's working

97
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:20,039
already reports have emerged that Apple has significantly cut back production on

98
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,919
the 14 and 14 plus models to replace them with more Pros in fact from what

99
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,879
I've been reading it appears that the 14 plus is even less desirable than the

100
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:32,000
minis were then why are you canceling it

101
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:38,840
maybe they'll bring it back I think I resent the 14 plus thanks

102
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:45,599
for expanding the size scope and price of this Mac Address if you are a large

103
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:48,280
phone user give this video a like and if

104
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:54,560
you are a small phone user then subscribe now I'm

105
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,639
curious if the $900 price tag of the

106
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,080
plus is worth it or you would just get a

107
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:02,560
pro for even another $100 over for that or maybe you just like the regular

108
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,240
iPhone 14 that's really weird you got to tell

109
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:07,240
me why
