the next generation iphone is here man i was like omg i need to go line up
to get one so that i can no i'm just kidding
uh d brand dealt with that for me thanks
bros and uh don't take this the wrong way but
it is undignified to stand around in
front of a store like a sucker waiting for the privilege to buy
a new gadget i mean okay yeah
but if it's like a super cool gadget then it's
totally different the iphone 8 and the iphone 8 plus
just aren't that cool which is what i'm going to talk about
after i thank cyberpower for sponsoring
today's video check out cyberpower's desktops featuring Intel 7th generation
core i7 processors over on newegg at the
link below
tldr apple's a talent was busy making
the iphone 10. i mean it's not like the
engineers haven't been doing things over the last couple of years both the 8 and
the 8 plus are packing the all-new 6
core a11 processor they have apple's
first ever in-house designed GPU an incredible accomplishment by the way and
they've got more storage on the base models than ever before not to mention
here is where my iphone 6's screen buckled yes i actually had it happen
while i was carrying it around for mp3 player duties in my backpack and that is
totally not a thing anymore apple's design team on the other hand
has clearly had other priorities i mean you are not going to tell me that they
spent a year deciding to get rid of my favorite color are you
no you're not so in a nutshell then the iphone 8 and 8
plus are what apple would normally call a
7s no sexy new form factor just updated
guts and some features like a revolutionary glass
back for qi wireless charging man do they really think our memories
are that short anyway basically i'm not going to spend a ton
of time on the hardware other than to say that most people
didn't really need a 7s the battery did last longer for me than
my 7 but aside from edge case workloads
like video encoding most people would be
very hard pressed to notice a speed difference between a seven and an eight
even comparing them side by side you can only see the difference in loading times
for quite large apps and it's just not
feelable in day-to-day use the camera system is better though
selfies seem to be a bit of a side grade rather than an upgrade but as for the
rear 12 megapixel shooter it's got
even more frames per second in slow motion which is cool if you're into that
kind of stuff and in low light the viewfinder is much smoother thanks
probably to the faster processor on the subject of low light in this low
light shot you can see that it retained more detail in the brushed finish of the
logitech logo on my keyboard compared to the 7 and in this high contrast shot
with direct sunlight and very hard shadows the improved resolution is very
obvious in the chain around the cat's neck and from having been there in
person the coloration is more true to life so they get kudos for that
the display also got an upgrade it's still lcd with wide color gamut support
not OLED like the 10 but it's more
better and it's got this true tone mode that's supposed to adapt to ambient
lighting conditions to look more natural but from my experience just made the
screen look dingen yellow all the time and this is kind of a curious one they
added support for HDR video content even
though apple specifically says that it is not an HDR display so it appears that
on netflix anyway the new iphone takes
the hdr10 or dolby vision encoded stream
then like backwards converts it to
this display why they would do that is inexplicable
to me but in terms of results it ends up looking
subjectively better in some cases and worse in others
one thing that i'll say was different for me this time around with the iphone
is that i spent a lot more time with the plus model than i have in the past
i still don't like the form factor it's just too big for me but the way that
some apps utilize the extra screen space ipad style and the
spectacular battery life are fairly compelling selling points
even if i'm not too keen on the dual lens camera
fake bokeh really doesn't do much for me and like
the note 8 the telephoto camera is so much softer that it doesn't look that
much better to me than a digital punch in on the wide angle lens
so that's it the new iphone everyone
it's a bit of a non-story and appears to just be apple's strategy to keep overall
unit sales from dropping while OLED panel supply is too tight to produce all
the iphone 10s that they need so why is this video still going
i'll tell you why because iOS 11 is
flipping awesome and i want to talk about that now
i don't actually remember the last time that i really
noticed a software update like this going into this video i watched apple's
keynote but i'm gonna ignore the headline stuff like augmented realities
tldr it's neat but call me in a year when the apps are a lot better and i'm
gonna ignore anything that i found in a comprehensive list of all the new
features all the stuff i'm gonna mention now
i found naturally while using the device completely intuitively the way it's
supposed to be control center is now a single
customizable page with media controls
and networking controls built in and this super intuitive force touch
integration that makes it just so deliciously functional it even finally
has a quick access button for mobile hotspot
so the only thing missing there is a hard press on the wi-fi icon to see
nearby networks and connect to them and maybe a vpn toggle i'm psyched on the
built-in screen record functionality my local radio hosts were especially
fixated on this one apparently they were excited that you could record uh
snapchats or something i don't know anything about that but
it'll definitely make doing these reviews a lot easier the end dictation button has been
relocated a couple of centimeters to the right making it easier to stop it when
you're holding your phone in one hand haptic feedback when starting and
stopping recording in the camera app is a godsend
though at this time i don't know if this feature is actually getting ported to
older phones it's not doing it on the iphone 7. the new quick start feature is amazing
letting you set up your new iphone with the old one just by moving them close to
each other it should be noted that probably for security reasons it doesn't
carry over third-party credentials but weirdly twitter actually worked for
a few minutes before prompting me to re-enter my password anyway it did save
me a fair bit of time and screenshot management is so much better with
cropping markup sharing and discarding
of screenshots whose only use was to show them to someone else all handled on
one screen there are some things i'd still like to see changed sure like
volume adjustment for ringer notifications and media playback still
isn't intuitively separated like it is on Android
i don't consider enabling apple pay to be an integral part of setting up the
phone so go away obnoxious red marker and finally
how is it even possible that we're still not allowed to rearrange icons on the
home screen to our heart's content but
overall as someone who already liked iOS and Android pretty well equally
it went far further than i expected to the point
where oreo has its work cut out for it
so i really like this phone i am back on iOS
for now even if i still use wired headphones
like a caveman and i don't prefer the extra baggage
speaking of extra baggage if you've got your iphone bumping around
in your baggage you don't want it to get scratched so why don't you cover it with
a sexy dbrand skin they've got a ton of
different colors and textures and they use only high quality authentic 3m vinyl
not to mention their unrivaled precision like everything fits flippin
awesome their customer service is spectacular
and if you don't know if your device is going to look good with a dbrand skin
they have an amazing configurator on their site that allows you to just swap
on different skins and set it up exactly
the way you like your device to be their products are affordable and they ship
worldwide check them out at the link below
