00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.960
the annual september new iphone ritual was pushed back a month this year for

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:11.440
obvious reasons but nonetheless all eyes were on cupertino again for one day as

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.799
the iphone 12 lineup was revealed to the world with all the usual pomp and

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.119
circumstance diving right in for the first time

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.880
iphones are getting 5g connectivity and with a number of Android devices already

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.119
boasting it it would have looked pretty silly for the iphone 12 series to not

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:32.079
have it apple's implementation does support millimeter wave but only on us

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:35.920
sold models then it's got support for the slower 5g standards across the board

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.760
so you should be covered regardless of what your carrier offers

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:44.879
under the hood there's a new system on chip as expected the apple a14 bionic

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:50.079
now it doesn't bring much in the way of new features but you do get a pretty

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.840
sizable generational performance boost and interestingly it's the first

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.960
commercially available chip that i'm aware of on the 5 nanometer process from

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:04.239
tsmc which should mean a more powerful phone without sacrificing battery life

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.640
we're also getting OLED screens up and down the stack for the first time even

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:12.000
though the iphone 11 base model was positioned as a high-end smartphone

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.960
compared with the rest of the market apple went with a more traditional lcd

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:23.200
display not so with the iphone 12 whose screen is not only OLED but even boasts

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:24.720
1200 nits of peak brightness for HDR

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.080
content consumption on the subject of HDR the iphone 12 also

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:34.000
supports recording with dolby vision making it the first mobile phone capable

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:39.040
of doing so of course that isn't to say that it's going to be a replacement for

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:44.400
professional grade cameras it's just that with HDR compatible monitors and

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.880
tvs becoming more common and the ability of youtube to support HDR uploads it

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.520
could be that the iphone is the thing that finally pushes HDR into the

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.920
mainstream it's going to be real handy for content creators both the standard

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.840
and wide angle cameras are getting night mode for better results when shooting in

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:06.320
low light and the pro version of the iphone 12 is getting lidar similar to

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:10.160
what police use to give you a speeding ticket but instead of raising your

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:13.280
insurance rates iphone lidar will help map the surrounding environment more

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.760
quickly for augmented reality applications and enable the camera to

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.280
focus faster in dim conditions when taking a photo

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.480
additionally there's a system in the pro models that stabilizes the image sensor

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.760
itself with a gyroscope which should allow you to take sharper photos

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:35.519
especially if you're using longer exposure times previously the iphone's optical image

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.920
stabilization worked by moving the lens it's also important to note that the

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:44.640
base iphone 12 and the new iphone 12 mini are pretty much the same phone with

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:50.000
the same features with the mini just being you guessed it smaller we're already

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.400
used to smaller iphones in the form of the sc models but in this case apple

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.800
might have changed the nomenclature to get across the message that the phones

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:02.800
have nearly identical innards regardless of which model you go with magsafe is

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.800
making a return you probably remember magsafe chargers for apple laptops from

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:10.800
a few years ago where the magnetic contact mechanism would prevent damage

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:16.159
to the computer or to your body if you tripped over it but while laptop magsafe

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:18.800
has been phased out in favor of usbc

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.280
now it's back on the iphone 12 series as a wireless charging mechanism and apple

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:29.120
has already promised that there will be third-party mag safe accessories as well

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.360
in less welcome news the iphone 12 is keeping the lightning connector dashing

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:38.319
any hopes that we'll finally be seeing an open connector standard on iphones at

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.200
least for one more year so is all of this enough to lure you in for an

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.040
upgrade or are you going to stick with your old device let us know down in the

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.760
comments and remember that the iphone 12 doesn't come with a charging brick so

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.040
you'll have to pick one up for yourself i wonder if an apple produced

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.879
self-driving car with optional add-on brakes is going to be far behind what do

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:02.799
you think brandon icar yeah sure you know what else isn't too

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.840
far behind pulseways virtual quiz night
