thought it might have been the only one who noticed at least until i read this comment on mac rumors from user roman empire but while i was watching the september 2018 keynote i was blown away that even apple's own executives who need i remind you managed to muster at least some excitement about the iphone 5c just didn't seem to care about their newest and shiniest flagships why didn't they care what could compel someone to upgrade their existing iphone x what are the selling points here what could compel someone to upgrade even an iphone 7 for that matter and why hasn't Linus segwayed into the sponsor for this video yet oh wait no that was it today's video is brought to you by origin pc origin pc's evo 15s weighs only 4.3 pounds features a smooth 144hz 1080p display and an NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1070 max q check out their latest deals at the link below i actually almost bailed on this video entirely in favor of a totally different concept where i walked around like men on the street style and pretended to show people the latest new iphone except it was actually just going to be an iphone 10 because honestly even i a a tech nerd would need to install ida or check the model number or the storage capacity of one of the new 512 gig models to know that it's a 2018 model year unless it was gold that's that's the one new thing this year a gold color so the truth is i've actually spent the last couple of weeks using the iphone 10s max as my everyday phone and i've been struggling to find anything to say about this thing that isn't a list of petty complaints many of which i've given up any hope that apple will even fix and i'm just i'm having a really hard time so i guess all we can do is get into it almost immediately after opening the box i began missing my samsung galaxy note 9. it's got a bigger screen it's got a more subtle rounding of the corners meaning you get more usable screen real estate and oh right when i slid out the sim tray no expandable storage still and not even dual sim on this model now i talked about this in my note 9 review but the remarkable thing about that phone is the zero compromises nature of it it's big and it's expensive but other than a lackluster commitment to software support which is something samsung really does need to address it gives up nothing by contrast on my over thousand dollar new iphone i haven't even installed my first app and i find myself reaching for my stupid headphone dongle the one i already had mind you because they don't even include one in the box anymore and i'm staring at what well at first looked like a massive notch by late 2018 standards at least that is until google released the pixel 3 xl and the game changed somewhat that's neither here nor there while i'm whining i really really hate the name of the iphone 10s for those of you who are wondering the last time apple used roman numerals in its product naming scheme was 1994 and they never went higher than three why would that be well because it's confusing almost no one that i know in the mainstream refers to the iphone 10 as anything other than the iphone x and look apple if you're gonna do something stupid like this do it properly has anyone out there tried to type iphone 10s on their iphone this is a perfect example of apple's utter failure to keep pace with the auto correcting and predictive typing capabilities of microsoft swiftkey and google's g board as for dictation well i didn't have much more luck there either i mean siri can at least do basic things like turn on the flashlight for me now but alexa and google assistant as flawed as they are too are making siri look utterly incompetent these days i mean do you guys remember when apple was way ahead of the game in the ai assistant race because i remember making matters worse apple's design for the iphone 10s you know that thing that they are so far up their own butts about that they literally made a 300 book dedicated to their own greatness it's looking dated already the iphone 6 look went basically unchanged for four generations or three and a half depending on how you count it and it didn't really look out of style until the third or the fourth when samsung launched the galaxy s8 and the s8 plus that is how far ahead apple was that recently the iphone 10s already looks unexceptional at best with how fast display technology is moving right now and a big part of that is the thicker bezels on the sides and the notch on the top the other alarming thing here is that apple is not only failing to lead in terms of design trends they're becoming a follower and a slow one at that when it comes to wider industry trends so think back first apple failed to take the lead on the trend of having two different sizes for each flagship generation then inexplicably even after fixing that problem with the six and the six plus they managed to miss participating in the large phablet-sized category for an entire generation of product last year how is it that there was no iphone 10 max with all of the resources and employees that apple has at their disposal to make at most three phones per year it really raises the question what were they doing was it a strategy thing was it not quite ready for the september keynote so just i don't know wait a year and get it on the next one there's a difference between attention to detail and striving for perfection and just being inflexible and obstinate on that subject it turns out that i still hate the lack of a back button on iOS the swipe right across gesture does work and it's better than the old way of reaching up to the very top left of the display but the issue is that much like when we were still reaching up to the top left and apple all of a sudden started making bigger screen phones apple's hardware is getting ahead of its software again so the back gesture requires a really clear swipe from the edge which is hard to execute with small hands on such a big phone now it's far less of an issue on the iphone 10s than it is on the max but this is the one i spent most of my time with primarily because it was less jarring moving to it from the note 9 and then also because i found the display notch far less distracting with the increase in overall screen real estate back to the notch though one good thing is that it still gives apple room for face id which faster face id by the way is one of the few headline features of this new phone but then it also serves as yet another example of something where apple is letting others take their feature their idea and innovate on it and even improve it so the oppo find x lets you swipe anywhere on the screen rather than only at the bottom to activate its face id copycat apple doesn't allow you to do this and instead it forces you to swipe from the bottom which is a little tougher ergonomically especially when you're holding such a large and heavy phone and often requires you to shift your hand down i guarantee you that someone has already dropped a 10s max because of this now i do need to derail the rant train a little bit here for an in fairness to apple segment Android fans have always loved pointing out how wrecked apple got by their favorite device du jour having that same feature or a better one while conveniently ignoring that there's typically been no single device on the Android side that brings it all together in the way that apple does so to be clear i am not recommending the findex over the iphone 10s or even the iphone 10 or even the iphone 8 for that matter but Android fans also never had the note 9 to point to before now you're probably noticing by this point in the video that i've brought up the note 9 a lot normally i try to limit my galaxy note 9 mentions to one to two per video as much as i love it and the reason for that is the price the galaxy note 9 is an unfair comparison for the vast majority of other devices on the market unfortunately for apple they give up any leeway that they might have had otherwise when they command the highest price of any mainstream smartphone though to be clear i'm glad that they're at least offering a 512 gig option even if it costs 1500 us dollars so then the iphone has traditionally set itself apart in the camera department how's that going honestly not too bad apple's color science continues to stand out from anyone but google but i still have some frustrations starting with apple's assumption that every power user will use a third party app i mean i get that the included one is supposed to be one touch dead simple any idiot can do it but then if that's the case why do you guys keep cluttering it up there are so many modes they don't even all fit on the screen anymore including the incredibly unnecessary square and if we're gonna have all these buttons why not add some of the customization that people are asking for most of the complaints i've seen about this phone are actually about the selfie camera and the uh the smoothing and processing that's being done by it that doesn't appear even now to be possible to turn off with that said though my worst experience was actually in portrait mode it managed to do everything from this astonishing background removal on a moving target down to this atrocity where it managed to add a couple of extra teeth to my daughter's smile now these kinds of heavy processing techniques have long been included on competitors devices with major ones like samsung even enabling them by default but one difference is that they tend to be more transparent and they tend to allow more configuration of the processing so why was the response to turn it to 11 and lock it there and why not record an unaltered version of the image for safety is this just the apple knows what's best for you mentality hopefully by the time i post this video apple will have patched themselves out of this mess overall the camera in the normal mode the one that i always use it in and ignoring dxomark and all that kind of stuff just using it day-to-day to capture the moments that mean something to me met my expectations let's move on to a couple more apple knows best frustrations if you capture a screenshot of something you can only share to apps that apple expects now this is better than locking you down to first party options but a notable omission that made my life more inconvenient for the last couple of weeks is the facebook pages manager now i'll work around the first time that i did this was for me to save the screenshot locally but then this was another apple knows best thing so what i realized is that there's no way to manually select your photos folder when you want to save a screenshot you actually just have to exit the screenshot and then confirm that you want to keep it and it'll automatically go to your photos folder like i mean i get that this is intuitive but why remove the option from the other way it's this kind of thing that always has and probably always will irk me about the iphone one thing that they did fix this time around is notification management though so huge gold star there it is super easy to access grouped messages and emails and you can dismiss your whole backlog in one fell swoop just oh beautiful awesome there you go and there's more good news mostly good news so i'm a lot more used to gesture-based navigation now from playing around with it on a couple of Android phones actually including the oneplus 6 and you know what gesture navigation is fine but it's not entirely without issue and not everyone will necessarily prefer it and actually this one is a criticism of both samsung and apple buttons or gestures you know what it's 2018. they're both good i would like to have a choice and i think you guys can both do better which i guess brings us perfectly back to annoyances so uh this whole video is actually getting kind of exhausting maybe we won't go for much longer um all right here we go you still can't hard press your wi-fi icon in order to get to your wi-fi settings you have to do it the long way the upgrade still can't have gaps forcing you to make big piles of useless crap in the top of your screen to put your most frequently used stuff at the bottom where it all belongs there is still no t9 dialing i don't understand why that's so hard and a year freaking later a year after the launch of the iphone 10 the notch still gets in the way occasionally like right here in the twitter app where i actually had a heck of a time targeting the handful of pixels that i needed to hit in order to switch to my personal account what i can only hope for is that maybe this is an indication that this notch design language will be short-lived so i think that's pretty much it so let's close this video out with the craziest part almost everything that i just said for the last 12 or 13 minutes or whatever has been common knowledge to people who pay attention to the iphone for a year so the iphone 10s it's boring it risks nothing but people bought the crap out of the last one so i guess if it ain't broke don't fix it enjoy your iphones everyone and while you're at it maybe enjoy them even better with a skin from dbrand dbrand is your source for awesome vinyl skins they're available for laptops phones tablets consoles controllers and more they actually shipped over our iphone 10s and 10s plus with this sexy new one that i'm calling black golf ball anyway they're useful for all kinds of things they make your device stand out and they also make it actually more resilient to incidental bumps and scuffs i even dropped the 10s and i managed to dent the corner here without going all the way through the skin so i didn't end up with a dent on my phone i was super thrilled about that their customer service robots are easy to work with and their products are affordable and ship worldwide so go check out dbrand at the link in the video description so thanks for watching guys i hope that wasn't as tiring for you to listen to as it was for me to say um if you dislike this video you can hit that button hi mr cook if you liked it though hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description i mean to be clear it's not bad if you like the iphone then i guess just buy one um while you're down there you can check out our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which is totally worth joining you know i was really looking forward to going back to the note 9 but then like all these phones started showing up razer phone 2 the rog phone pixel 3. like i'm not going to get back to the note 9 for like two months"}
