00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.280
the next generation iphone is here man i was like omg i need to go line up

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.920
to get one so that i can no i'm just kidding

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:14.960
uh d brand dealt with that for me thanks

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:20.800
bros and uh don't take this the wrong way but

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:23.519
it is undignified to stand around in

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:28.320
front of a store like a sucker waiting for the privilege to buy

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.559
a new gadget i mean okay yeah

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:35.440
but if it's like a super cool gadget then it's

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:40.640
totally different the iphone 8 and the iphone 8 plus

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.399
just aren't that cool which is what i'm going to talk about

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.440
after i thank cyberpower for sponsoring

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:55.199
today's video check out cyberpower's desktops featuring Intel 7th generation

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.510
core i7 processors over on newegg at the

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:05.760
link below

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.240
tldr apple's a talent was busy making

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.320
the iphone 10. i mean it's not like the

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:20.479
engineers haven't been doing things over the last couple of years both the 8 and

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:23.520
the 8 plus are packing the all-new 6

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:26.320
core a11 processor they have apple's

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.880
first ever in-house designed GPU an incredible accomplishment by the way and

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:36.799
they've got more storage on the base models than ever before not to mention

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.040
here is where my iphone 6's screen buckled yes i actually had it happen

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:46.000
while i was carrying it around for mp3 player duties in my backpack and that is

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:51.520
totally not a thing anymore apple's design team on the other hand

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.640
has clearly had other priorities i mean you are not going to tell me that they

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.719
spent a year deciding to get rid of my favorite color are you

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:06.000
no you're not so in a nutshell then the iphone 8 and 8

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.959
plus are what apple would normally call a

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:13.760
7s no sexy new form factor just updated

00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:18.480
guts and some features like a revolutionary glass

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.760
back for qi wireless charging man do they really think our memories

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.160
are that short anyway basically i'm not going to spend a ton

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.040
of time on the hardware other than to say that most people

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:36.400
didn't really need a 7s the battery did last longer for me than

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:39.440
my 7 but aside from edge case workloads

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.680
like video encoding most people would be

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:47.760
very hard pressed to notice a speed difference between a seven and an eight

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:54.800
even comparing them side by side you can only see the difference in loading times

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:57.680
for quite large apps and it's just not

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:02.000
feelable in day-to-day use the camera system is better though

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:07.120
selfies seem to be a bit of a side grade rather than an upgrade but as for the

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:09.120
rear 12 megapixel shooter it's got

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.959
even more frames per second in slow motion which is cool if you're into that

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:17.360
kind of stuff and in low light the viewfinder is much smoother thanks

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.280
probably to the faster processor on the subject of low light in this low

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.360
light shot you can see that it retained more detail in the brushed finish of the

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:30.640
logitech logo on my keyboard compared to the 7 and in this high contrast shot

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.120
with direct sunlight and very hard shadows the improved resolution is very

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:39.200
obvious in the chain around the cat's neck and from having been there in

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:44.400
person the coloration is more true to life so they get kudos for that

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:50.560
the display also got an upgrade it's still lcd with wide color gamut support

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.040
not OLED like the 10 but it's more

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:57.040
better and it's got this true tone mode that's supposed to adapt to ambient

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.599
lighting conditions to look more natural but from my experience just made the

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:07.519
screen look dingen yellow all the time and this is kind of a curious one they

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.080
added support for HDR video content even

00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:17.199
though apple specifically says that it is not an HDR display so it appears that

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.720
on netflix anyway the new iphone takes

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.080
the hdr10 or dolby vision encoded stream

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.919
then like backwards converts it to

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:29.759
this display why they would do that is inexplicable

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:34.160
to me but in terms of results it ends up looking

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.080
subjectively better in some cases and worse in others

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:42.320
one thing that i'll say was different for me this time around with the iphone

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:47.600
is that i spent a lot more time with the plus model than i have in the past

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:52.160
i still don't like the form factor it's just too big for me but the way that

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:56.479
some apps utilize the extra screen space ipad style and the

00:04:54.280 --> 00:05:00.720
spectacular battery life are fairly compelling selling points

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.440
even if i'm not too keen on the dual lens camera

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.400
fake bokeh really doesn't do much for me and like

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.960
the note 8 the telephoto camera is so much softer that it doesn't look that

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.080
much better to me than a digital punch in on the wide angle lens

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:22.000
so that's it the new iphone everyone

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:26.240
it's a bit of a non-story and appears to just be apple's strategy to keep overall

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:31.440
unit sales from dropping while OLED panel supply is too tight to produce all

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:36.560
the iphone 10s that they need so why is this video still going

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:38.400
i'll tell you why because iOS 11 is

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.759
flipping awesome and i want to talk about that now

00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:45.919
i don't actually remember the last time that i really

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:50.639
noticed a software update like this going into this video i watched apple's

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.840
keynote but i'm gonna ignore the headline stuff like augmented realities

00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:00.320
tldr it's neat but call me in a year when the apps are a lot better and i'm

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:03.280
gonna ignore anything that i found in a comprehensive list of all the new

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:08.560
features all the stuff i'm gonna mention now

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:12.160
i found naturally while using the device completely intuitively the way it's

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:18.160
supposed to be control center is now a single

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.960
customizable page with media controls

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:25.520
and networking controls built in and this super intuitive force touch

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.759
integration that makes it just so deliciously functional it even finally

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.440
has a quick access button for mobile hotspot

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.440
so the only thing missing there is a hard press on the wi-fi icon to see

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:42.319
nearby networks and connect to them and maybe a vpn toggle i'm psyched on the

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:45.600
built-in screen record functionality my local radio hosts were especially

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:50.000
fixated on this one apparently they were excited that you could record uh

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:52.639
snapchats or something i don't know anything about that but

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:58.479
it'll definitely make doing these reviews a lot easier the end dictation button has been

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:02.240
relocated a couple of centimeters to the right making it easier to stop it when

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:06.400
you're holding your phone in one hand haptic feedback when starting and

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.000
stopping recording in the camera app is a godsend

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:13.199
though at this time i don't know if this feature is actually getting ported to

00:07:11.520 --> 00:07:18.720
older phones it's not doing it on the iphone 7. the new quick start feature is amazing

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.039
letting you set up your new iphone with the old one just by moving them close to

00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:27.520
each other it should be noted that probably for security reasons it doesn't

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:31.680
carry over third-party credentials but weirdly twitter actually worked for

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:37.039
a few minutes before prompting me to re-enter my password anyway it did save

00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:44.000
me a fair bit of time and screenshot management is so much better with

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.000
cropping markup sharing and discarding

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:50.400
of screenshots whose only use was to show them to someone else all handled on

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:55.360
one screen there are some things i'd still like to see changed sure like

00:07:53.120 --> 00:08:00.400
volume adjustment for ringer notifications and media playback still

00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:04.000
isn't intuitively separated like it is on Android

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.639
i don't consider enabling apple pay to be an integral part of setting up the

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:12.639
phone so go away obnoxious red marker and finally

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:16.560
how is it even possible that we're still not allowed to rearrange icons on the

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:21.039
home screen to our heart's content but

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.720
overall as someone who already liked iOS and Android pretty well equally

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:30.319
it went far further than i expected to the point

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:31.440
where oreo has its work cut out for it

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:36.880
so i really like this phone i am back on iOS

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:41.760
for now even if i still use wired headphones

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:44.880
like a caveman and i don't prefer the extra baggage

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:52.000
speaking of extra baggage if you've got your iphone bumping around

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:57.920
in your baggage you don't want it to get scratched so why don't you cover it with

00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:00.080
a sexy dbrand skin they've got a ton of

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:06.560
different colors and textures and they use only high quality authentic 3m vinyl

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.000
not to mention their unrivaled precision like everything fits flippin

00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:14.399
awesome their customer service is spectacular

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:18.000
and if you don't know if your device is going to look good with a dbrand skin

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:23.519
they have an amazing configurator on their site that allows you to just swap

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.399
on different skins and set it up exactly

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:30.000
