00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:11.719
this may surprise you but my favorite

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:17.520
iPhone is the 12 mini it's light it doesn't have a

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:24.160
ridiculous camera bump for pictures I don't take I think the wider Notch looks

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:25.640
better on it and it's the perfect size I

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:30.880
always thought the original five generations of iPhone screens to be just

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

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:40.360
too big the iPhone 12 mini is right in

00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:42.840
between Goldilocks me finally got their

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:48.280
perfect phone what worries me though is with the 14th generation iPhone Apple is

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

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.079
bad deal I'm willing to can see that I'm a

00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:01.079
minority here after the launch of the iPhone 12 and 13 mini models stoys were

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:06.640
emerging that production had to be cut due to unsatisfactory sales volume

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.000
thereby justifying the inevitable end of this form factor people like bigger

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

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.880
friend almost a year ago I managed to find her a brand new 12 mini on

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:26.840
Craigslist turns out this seller had bought it for his wife but she didn't

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.240
like how small it is his loss our game

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.720
and now we'd have to take an even bigger hit with the plus because

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:37.960
the price it costs

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:40.920
$900 $100 more than the base iPhone 14

00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:46.360
but crucially it's only $100 less than the iPhone 14 pro all you gain compared

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:51.000
to the 14 is a bigger screen and a bigger battery with the plus phones in

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:56.000
the 6 and 6s Generations though you also got Optical image stabilization with the

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

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:06.079
jump to the for te Pro you get the suite of advanced cameras Dynamic Island

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.119
brighter screen new processor stainless steel Pro Design and a partridge in a

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:14.120
pair tree so what are the priorities with the plus not good value surely now

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.160
I think I have an idea of what the priorities actually are they're just

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:22.280
kind of weird and let me explain how after I show you this video sponsor

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.879
espresso you ever wanted to try a touchscreen Mac well with their great

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.720
USBC powered monitors you can I did last

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:35.720
summer but the range of aluminum clad high quality displays go much further

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:39.959
with the availability of the pen and espresso Creator screen protector for a

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:44.879
pen onp paper- like drawing experience for non- artists install espresso flow

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:48.800
to enable window snapping and a oneclick workspace launcher as an alternative to

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.040
Apple stage manager try this software for free and upgrade your setup at the

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:59.400
link below the iPhone 14 has undergone a

00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:01.879
major redesign though not that you would

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:07.560
notice it still has the 13's narrower Notch diagonal camera Arrangement and

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:12.159
a15 Chip sure on the outside there are two new baby colors but the differences

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

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.280
saying this is actually replaceable it's the first point of entry into the phone

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:24.959
in a tear down iix it found that Apple actually went through great effort

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:29.280
re-engineering the iPhone 14 improving the repairability back to a 7 out of 10

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:34.560
and reducing the cost to replace the back glass by triple digits so while you

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:39.360
would have no idea looking at it you might well appreciate it the other

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:44.599
improvements include a slightly wider aperture on the main camera and the

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.879
implementation of the photonic engine

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:52.000
I'd say that this makes the camera ever

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:54.959
so slightly better than the iPhone

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

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:03.400
sharpening to their photos it clearly makes the photos you take pop but the

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.680
14's photos don't pop significantly over a 13 The Wider aperture is really going

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.640
to help when things are darker if you do care about still photos I should note

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:14.079
that a pixel 7 Pro is the same price and

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:18.040
though it struggled in this overcast evening photo it takes the most

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:23.120
realistic photos and it's the same size as the plus the biggest Improvement is

00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:27.520
actually found here at the front the front-facing camera also gets a slightly

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:31.479
wider aperture which is going to be great when you're at the bar at night

00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:35.680
with your friends but crucially it also gets

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:40.199
autofocus this means your selfies will look much much clearer if you're someone

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

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:48.400
plus you get a bigger viewfinder and the Flash is probably brighter too but what

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.560
about this pesky plus if you want a large screen on Android there's one

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:57.039
available at every price point if you want a large screen on an iPhone it up

00:04:54.919 --> 00:05:02.440
until now would be the most expensive model however even with this the price

00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:05.039
to entry has dropped a mere $200 with

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

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:15.479
charge and I don't care I really don't

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:20.120
like big phones and I have pretty big hands sure there were some times where I

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

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:28.960
in my man jeans and bent down to pick something off the ground you can

00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:32.840
definitely feel it in your pocket using it is even more annoying like when I'm

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:38.560
trying to bring down the control center or tap a back button I'm stretching so

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

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:49.039
I always thought that the reason someone would get a big phone is cuz they want

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:51.199
to do more doing big tasks on a big

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:55.280
screen is less honorous and therefore you're going to do more of them and then

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

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

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

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

00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:19.440
didn't but perhaps that's because I find the phone so combersome maybe the phone

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

00:06:22.840 --> 00:06:30.800
distaste for extra-large phones the midsize 6.1 in iPhone I could live with

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:36.080
so splurging another 100 on the pro would make more sense to me actually no

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

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

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:53.000
the equally priced iPhone 12 the same camera as the larger 13 and the same CPU

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.440
as the new 14 it even has similar gaming performance unless you're playing

00:06:54.039 --> 00:07:02.039
against an impact where the 13 mini shines for small screen stalwarts like

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:04.440
me it really is a great phone and it

00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:09.160
really sucks that Apple has large screen iPhone users over a barrel it really

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:13.919
does seem that iPhone introduced the plus as a way to get people to upgrade

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.759
to the pro and where still it's working

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:20.039
already reports have emerged that Apple has significantly cut back production on

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:24.919
the 14 and 14 plus models to replace them with more Pros in fact from what

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:29.879
I've been reading it appears that the 14 plus is even less desirable than the

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:32.000
minis were then why are you canceling it

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:38.840
maybe they'll bring it back I think I resent the 14 plus thanks

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:45.599
for expanding the size scope and price of this Mac Address if you are a large

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:48.280
phone user give this video a like and if

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:54.560
you are a small phone user then subscribe now I'm

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:57.639
curious if the $900 price tag of the

00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.080
plus is worth it or you would just get a

00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.560
pro for even another $100 over for that or maybe you just like the regular

00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:07.240
iPhone 14 that's really weird you got to tell

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.240
me why
