00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,960
the iPhone 6 is my third iPhone with the four being the first full touchscreen

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,320
phone I ever used so while my daily driver is usually in HTC1 M8 I

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,639
appreciate the Simplicity and functionality of iOS and I've been known

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:20,640
in the past to say I pretty much don't have a preference today that changes but

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,880
which way does it go well I guess you'll have to watch the video no

6
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:36,800
spoilers Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,840

00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:48,879
we'll kick things off with the speeds and feeds it's got a dual core 1.4 GHz

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,320
A8 chip with a gig of RAM 16 to 128 gigs

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:57,800
of internal storage an 1810 milliamp battery and a 4.7 in 1334 x 750 display

12
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:02,760
but don't let any of those very middling specs scare you off too much a 16 gig

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:09,240
based model with no micro SD expansion at $650 is embarrassing but everything else

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,000
is pretty much fine cores and gigahertz are meaningless without considering the

15
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:16,320
underlying architecture in fact we'll have a video coming in the future that

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,119
really dives into this subject so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:24,759
it RAM only affects performance when multitasking or with background

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,119
processes running and iOS 8 doesn't raise the bar when it comes to using

19
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:31,920
multiple apps at the same time nor does it lower it when it comes to expert

20
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:36,240
managing idle resource use so you don't need a ton of RAM and then the battery

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,119
also benefits from that same resource management and I easily ended up with 30

22
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:46,520
to 40% battery at the end of a medium workload day as for the resolution I'll

23
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:51,320
talk more about that one later I think physically man if you've seen one iPhone

24
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,360
you really have seen them all haven't you the back has an Apple logo two

25
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,439
antenna bands that the internet seems to care about a lot for some reason but I

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,439
think is fine a mic a dual LED flash that works stunningly well even in Pitch

27
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,560
Darkness at close range and an 8 megapixel camera whose f2.0 Sapphire

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,319
Glass Lens protrudes from the casing in a way that I thought was a big deal when

29
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:17,599
I heard about it at first but hasn't bothered me at all when using the phone

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,480
on the top we see nothing but the 6.9 mm thick profile of the phone on the left

31
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:24,720
is a mute button and a volume button and another volume button I guess on the

32
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,319
bottom is a headphone jack lightning connector and a speaker and on the right

33
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:34,239
is a nano SIM tray and a lock button the first significant change one that I

34
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,239
almost really like it's better than having it on the top since the iPhone is

35
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:44,120
no longer a one-handed Affair but Apple managed to commit the sin of having a

36
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,480
lock button that opposes other buttons in this case the volume rockers so it's

37
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:53,280
easy to change volume when reaching for the lock which brings us around to the

38
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,040
front at the top is a disappointing 1.2 megapixel camera love or hate selfies

39
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,599
guys you got to acknowledge that people take them and I think HTC made a smart

40
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:05,879
move here an earpiece speaker and then on the chin bar the classic I device

41
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,720
button with a new trick up its sleeve Touch ID is still awesome and a just

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,720
plain faster way to unlock your phone by apps and by regular stuff with the just

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:21,440
launched Apple pay service but now you get a double touch that what moves the

44
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:25,000
entire UI down to what more on that

45
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,799
later the screen itself boasts 100% srgb

46
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,640
color looks beautiful from all angles is super bright maybe even too bright for

47
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:35,720
you when using it at night with great contrast so it can easily be used

48
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:39,439
outdoors and it has such smooth auto brightness that I completely forgot I

49
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,439
had it on and then back to the resolution which I promised to touch on

50
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,239
again to me the iPhone 6 is Apple's

51
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:51,080
statement to the world that the pixel count race something they started with

52
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:56,840
the iPhone 4 is over and I think they're right however random

53
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,120
750p might be at this size it's just

54
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,959
plain good enough something I actually talk about in both my Moto X review and

55
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,280
my LG G3 review I did have some complaints though while I love the extra

56
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:14,079
screen size for watching videos compared to the 5S and 4 and 1 half to 5 in it is

57
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,519
is really my sweet spot for screen size which is why you won't likely see an

58
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,440
iPhone 6 Plus review from me and while the design is beautiful and so elegant

59
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,240
the way the glass itself is rounded into the aluminum unibody compared to the

60
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:29,919
Moto X's flat glass with a rounded housing this causes unavoidable

61
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Reflections to show up around the edge of your content something that I did

62
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:38,520
find a little distracting but not nearly as bothersome as the general ergonomics

63
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,479
and usability of the device now I already whined about the lock button the

64
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,800
bottom speaker is still a relic of a bygone age but one that we I guess we

65
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:52,120
expect from Apple but on my podcast when rumors of larger iPhones first started

66
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:56,240
circulating I pointed out that because of the way back buttons are in the top

67
00:04:54,199 --> 00:05:00,280
left and text entry fields are top Center things that are fine for

68
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:07,000
one-handed use on a small device Apple would need to rethink their

69
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:09,639
navigation and this two touch thing was

70
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,639
not what I had in mind it helps a bit I can search for a contact or navigate

71
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,360
back in an app more easily but it doesn't work across the board even in

72
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,520
apple Zone OS I mean why do I need to reach way up there to take advantage of

73
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:27,080
the much improved Spotlight feature and even with this feature Apple's UI moves

74
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:32,160
you around on the screen so much that combined with the incredibly light

75
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,840
design and rounded sides this phone is

76
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:40,759
one of the most slippery fish that I've ever used even with this debrand carbon

77
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:44,919
fiber wrap on it on top of that I feel like aside from content consumption I'm

78
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,080
not really getting anything extra from the bigger screen anyway most UI

79
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,680
elements are just blown up and while I do get an extra row of home screen icons

80
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:58,280
the only solution to moving my frequently used stuff to the bottom

81
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,680
right is still to fill the top rows with crap that I don't use as often for shame

82
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:06,840
apple and I guess since we've already started down this path I might as well

83
00:06:04,039 --> 00:06:10,520
do the rest of my ranty stuff now iOS still doesn't allow landscape lock on

84
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,919
small screen devices this seems like such a small thing to ask for for those

85
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,000
of us who use our phones in bed a lot sharing options are still very

86
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:22,880
inflexible I know you have an email client built into the phone and you have

87
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:28,319
your own cloud storage but I don't use them I use Gmail and Dropbox and you're

88
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,919
making my life slower apple and last but

89
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,240
not least I can call people people with my voice through the contact list

90
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,319
through recent in a message and now even by double clicking and selecting

91
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,880
favorites way up at the top of the screen or I can double click I guess but

92
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:48,400
none of these are as fast and as versatile as T9 dialing Apple please

93
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:52,840
just implement this back to good stuff though the camera rocks it's lightning

94
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,759
fast to launch autofocuses so fast you hardly even notice it it captures great

95
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:03,520
images without thinking about it and can even do 60 FPS 1080P and 2 40 FPS 720p

96
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,720
capture the default app is still pretty limited you can take lightning fast

97
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Burst photos you can tweak exposure very easily but that's about it and now that

98
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,680
they're adding more camera modes I really don't think the swipe to change

99
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,599
modes model is that great anymore U maybe Square could take a hike in the

100
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,720
next update or they could come up with something a little bit better but I mean

101
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,639
part of the beauty of you know Apple's camera app is a Simplicity and the good

102
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:32,120
news is that they now allow thirdparty camera apps so manual control gear can

103
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,639
get their jollies by using those as long as they don't want to change the

104
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:40,039
aperture which isn't supported at this time speaking of third party app support

105
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:44,560
though iOS finally supports thirdparty keyboards which is good because I found

106
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,479
the stock ones prediction just plain not useful and while I appreciate the

107
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,960
forward and back arrows due to Apple's otherwise slow cursor positioning method

108
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,960
the landscape layout moves everything so close to the middle of the phone that

109
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:03,360
for me to reach it comfortably is just not that great it's just too that swift

110
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,199
key iOS keyboard sucks so far it's super

111
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,080
responsive and I really wanted to like it but the space bar position moves in

112
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:14,960
certain particularly social media apps a behavior that you can't turn off and you

113
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,560
can't access a secondary layer of functionality on all the keys by

114
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,800
pressing and holding that feature combined with the user adjustable hold

115
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,560
down delay has made swift key my go-to on Android I it's not there yet here

116
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:31,520
hopefully they get there in time but it's still very early days I got a

117
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:35,760
notification there are a lot of other little improvements that come with iOS 8

118
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,640
as well Mac Rumors has a great list of them that I'll link in the video

119
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:43,479
description but some standouts are these recording last location in find my

120
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:48,160
iPhone before the battery dies using Siri to ID song so you don't need Shazam

121
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:52,399
anymore Wi-Fi calling if your carrier supports it calling out hey Siri when

122
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,360
the device is plugged in to activate what is still my favorite voice control

123
00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:01,320
method easier insertion of photos and messages sending out a randomized MAC

124
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,240
address when scanning for Wi-Fi networks some health crap that I don't care about

125
00:09:02,839 --> 00:09:10,240
at all and the coolest thing of all I really did Save The Best For Last here

126
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,440
Family Sharing I mean imagine that Apple

127
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,240
being the one to follow valve's lead and let us share the digital crap we bought

128
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,320
with the people who live with us in the same way that we used to be able to do

129
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:25,880
with physical stuff it works with apps music books and more and I applaud

130
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,560
Apple for being Forward Thinking in this regard which leads to the conclusion

131
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,640
which oh sorry right first the obligatory right this thing is actually a phone uh bit call Quality on my side

132
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:40,560
was excellent I received no complaints about the mic from the other side and

133
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,279
now the conclusion it's an iPhone if you

134
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,120
don't like iPhones it's not going to change your mind and if you like iPhones

135
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,240
and thought they should be bigger then go buy it or the even larger plus

136
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,600
version because let's face it you were going to do that anyway but for me the

137
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,760
rate at which Android continues to improve and the way that iOS with the

138
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:03,800
exception of little things like Family Sharing continues to not really take

139
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:09,120
huge strides forward and the way that it didn't adapt correctly to the larger

140
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,839
devices is a a real stumbling block

141
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:16,600
whatever the iPhone sales figures might look like anyway when the time comes

142
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:21,680
whether you're buying an iPhone or some other thing maybe consider getting a

143
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:26,079
debrand skin or debrand skin excuse me to go with it they generously provided

144
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,600
us with the skinned iPhone 6 that you saw in this review just so I could do

145
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:33,240
this review and in the link in the video description you'll find details for the

146
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,320
10 skins that they're also giving away to Lucky Linus Tech tips viewers so

147
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,120
they're Obviously good guys all around and if them being good guys isn't enough

148
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:45,160
for you to think about buying vinyl wraps for your controllers consoles phones and other devices from them then

149
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,720
consider also the high quality of their products and the excellent fit and

150
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,720
finish that you got to enjoy during all the macro footage of the phone that you

151
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,279
saw in this video they really are an excellent way to Gussy up your phone and

152
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:01,959
also protect its finish if you frequently lay it down flat on surfaces

153
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:06,120
the way that I do I do have an affiliate link for debrand so if you want to you

154
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,200
can head to De brand.com Linus techtips but I don't think I get a kickback or

155
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,440
anything so don't stress about the link too much just remember they're cool guys

156
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,839
and they make skins for phones and consoles and controllers and cool stuff

157
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:19,320
