00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.359
I've never really been the type of person to go out and buy Apple's new and

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:11.880
improved products that they launch every year but this might change my mind this

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:14.879
is the iPhone 15 and she's beautiful at

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:21.920
first glance they've added this very sleek and smooth beveled Edge which

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:25.519
almost creates a more um luxury feel as

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:28.359
well as the very soft matte uh back

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.759
which is unique to the 15 as in previous years they've had more of a shiny glass

00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:37.960
and it also has a fingerprint resistant coating we have the pink color here but

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:43.360
Apple also launched this with uh four other colorways including blue green

00:00:41.239 --> 00:00:48.760
black and yellow I've never really been one for colored iPhones but I really

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:53.440
like the pastel colorings that they have this year it's a lot more subtle than

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.559
previous years but I kind of find that to be an advantage I mean that is for

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:04.199
people who don't put their iPhones in a case right away the USBC charging cable

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:10.159
this I feel is probably the most important part of this new iPhone

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:14.400
because it's Universal uh and you can charge your Gen 2 airpods with your

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:20.520
iPhone so it essentially kind of becomes a battery Bank uh and oh what is this

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:24.360
instructions oh no this is the uh the Sim popper which I feel like they're

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:28.360
going to kind of start phasing that out like the physical SIM cards and start

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:33.040
integrating more eim I guess as long as telephone providers uh are comfortable

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.520
with that do you think I could get it in the room behind

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:45.560
yeah W great so on the 15 pro and pro Max I

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.399
know they have like a button here but for the standard 15 they've kept the uh

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:56.280
the little switch uh we've got our volume buttons of course the beautiful

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.320
USBC port on the bottom and then your

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:03.719
standard on andof button and I am noticing actually there isn't a lot of

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.759
fingerprint um markings showing which

00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:09.520
means that the cating is working while the phone itself feels really nice I

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.319
always get self-conscious about potentially dropping it which is why I

00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:17.400
have a dbrand grip case on my phone and guess what dbrand is also the sponsor of

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:22.280
this video they're chaotic but make good

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.280
stuff like their grip case it has a super grippy texture and is impact

00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:30.560
resistant they also just launched their new ghost cases according to dbrand

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:36.640
you'll die before the ghost case turns yellow only 1.2 mm thin with 10 ft of

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:41.760
impact resistant protection available for pro iPhone models Ultra Samsung

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:46.440
models and proxel models check out both today at Short lines.com first things

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:50.599
first let's talk about the screen while in previous models they have also had

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:55.159
the super retina xdr screens this time around they've also improved the screen

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.720
brightness which is supposedly two times

00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:02.200
brighter than its predecessor the iPhone 14 I'd love to try it out but

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:07.400
unfortunately it's raining outside so Labs has done some testing for us let's

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:13.200
take a look I specifically want to point out the HDR brightness which in a dark

00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:15.440
room is about 850 nits uh Brandon one of

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:19.879
our lab team's members pointed out that 850 nits is actually pretty crazy for

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.680
screen brightness and is much higher than the average 500 nits that you'd see

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:30.280
in a regular phone or a standard phone another thing to mention is Labs pointed

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:33.280
out that in the SDR outdoor test

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.519
they were able to measure 2200 knits

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.599
versus the 2,000 knits that Apple claims

00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:44.680
quite impressive seeing that attire in contrast to my own iPhone 12 I've also

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:49.799
noticed that on the 15 we have the dynamic Island so no more notches and

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:54.239
I've actually never utilized the dynamic island or I guess I've never tried the

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:59.239
dynamic Island so I'm interested to kind of look into that now I've never really

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.120
been impressed by iPhone cameras I tend

00:03:59.239 --> 00:04:05.280
to frequent concerts and that's where I get the best test out of my iPhone

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.599
cameras as I find a lot of the artifacting doesn't really make the

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:13.599
pictures turn out as great as they could there's also often times in dark

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:17.720
lighting a bit more of a lens flare which sometimes you don't want that but

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:22.160
with this phone the camera has been one of the biggest features that has been

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:27.639
advertised and talked about and so I think this might change my mind it's got

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:31.759
fingerprints on it if only they could add a fingerprint resistant finish to

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:37.120
the camera lenses now that would be a good feature so the new iPhone 15 has a

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:42.919
dual lens system so we've got the standard camera which is uh 48 maps and

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:47.120
then our Ultra wide which is 12 megapixels one feature I'm really

00:04:45.039 --> 00:04:51.919
excited about is Apple has added essentially controls for the user so

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:58.199
that they can control the depth and the focus on photos after they're taken I

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.440
love Apple's like portrait mode but I find sometimes when I'm taking pictures

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.600
pictures of my dog it kind of blurs the wrong areas this kind of allows you to

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.360
control where the blur is and where it isn't let's try it out do you want to

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:10.360
come take a selfie with

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:17.120
me beautiful all right let's try it

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:22.319
edit portrait oh waa it can get really blurry

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:27.039
I don't know if you could see that very well but Belle you don't even exist in

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:32.680
this photo you're just uh yes true wow that actually works

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:37.000
quite well so initial I guess Impressions is that feature is awesome

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:44.240
so we'll do a bit of a blur and then

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:47.800
wow that's great who needs Photoshop

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.680
anymore just kidding we've got 0.5 zoom

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:58.479
out for Ultra wide shots and now I'm going to take a picture of me at that

00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:01.479
I'm sorry I'm sorry oh it's

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:01.479
starting

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:10.400
hold it how many people have done that on

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:15.440
ShortCircuit oh

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:19.319
no it doesn't look very good I'll be honest but like Andrew said it's kind of

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.319
a tricky shot with the light being directly facing the camera then we have

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.759
the 1X Zoom option which is for like mid distance shots I'll just take a picture

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:33.720
of Belle this time oh no it's on timer still three

00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:37.440
two one

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:40.199
yay that looks pretty good um I'm so

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:47.720
torn I'm like not a photographer either by any means so me judging the photos

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:52.160
may not necessarily be like the best um

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:54.639
point of view but uh you know it's all

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:59.560
right and then we have the 2x Zoom distance for close-up shots one thing to

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.080
mention is the 2x Zoom is only 12 megapixels let's take a

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.960
selfie selfie cam seems all

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:13.240
right every time it's like this is good as soon as I zoom in on the photo I'm

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.639
like maybe it's not as good cuz like when I'm looking at it on the screen it

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:21.879
looks fine it looks great it looks super clear but as soon as I take the photo

00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:26.120
maybe that has like maybe I just need to fondle with the settings a bit more but

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:30.319
I kind of expected more to be honest here are a few other photos for you to

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.960
take a look at uh I guess yes you get to make that

00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:37.639
decision now that we've tested the camera Let's test the audio and what

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:43.199
better way to do that than with our absolute favorite Banger let's put some

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:48.639
crab rave on it sounds like I'm on like a tropical island there is a very good

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.639
range to this

00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:01.400
speaker it sounds really good I've never really compared phone speakers per se

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:05.159
but but in comparison to my iPhone 12 this sounds fantastic I could listen to

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:10.879
that all day the standard iPhone 15 has an a16

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:16.960
bionic chip which is the same as in the iPhone 14 pro we got Labs to check out

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.159
the performance here is data to look at

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:23.560
wow data I'm not much of a mobile gamer but

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:28.599
I mean hey if you can get a better phone for playing mobile games then maybe it's

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.839
worth it I don't like what kind of mobile games you play oh I guess laabs

00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:37.279
has done the testing for us I kind of noticed in their marketing a little bit

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:44.800
it was kind of weird because they said like the iPhone 15 can go up to 26 hours

00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:47.240
of battery life with whatever video but

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:51.399
they don't like specifically say the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 plus so

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:56.839
you're like kind of led to believe that it's uh the regular standard iPhone 15

00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:01.480
that's 26 until you actually look at like the side by sides of the the

00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:07.040
regular and the plus then it says up to 20 hours which is 6 hours less which

00:09:04.839 --> 00:09:12.839
isn't an insignificant amount in our endurance uh YouTube playback test we

00:09:10.079 --> 00:09:17.720
were able to get 18 hours and in the stress test we got 3.3 hours we also did

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:24.120
a charging test and we were able to get it from 0 to 85% in an hour here's the

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:26.640
data for how long it took to get it to

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.120
full I feel like the batter is always something that Apple should continue to

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:36.760
improve and this is something that I felt a lot towards like the iPads and

00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.480
also airpods and apple watches honestly

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:42.720
please just improve battery life for everything because I don't want to have

00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:48.000
to charge my phone every single night and I feel like that's a universal

00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:52.120
experience however I know it's not as easy as I'm making it sound what if we

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.320
could just throw a car battery in a phone we haven't really talked much

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.720
about iOS 17 one feature I find incredibly helpful is that along with

00:09:58.760 --> 00:10:05.440
their emergency SOS they have also included a roadside assistant similar to

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:11.040
AAA another feature that I find super awesome is with me and my partner is we

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:12.640
have an air tag on our dog and uh with

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:16.519
only one person being able to see where the dog is at a time if we were both

00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:21.279
having to like go out and search for her if she ran away uh I feel like that

00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:27.680
would be a lot less convenient um so like the fact that you

00:10:24.760 --> 00:10:30.320
can add two people to an air tag is I mean it should have been something that

00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:35.440
they from the beginning but it's nice that they're adding it now I don't know

00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:37.079
about you but uh I've definitely woken

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.639
up in the middle of the night and checked to see what time it is on my

00:10:38.839 --> 00:10:50.560
phone and absolutely blinded myself Apple has since implemented a standby

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:50.560
mode which we're going to try now

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.800
but oh there oh you P the button no I didn't I

00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:03.560
just shifted it a little bit oh there okay welcome to standby I love this

00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:08.240
feature so much you can showcase some of the uh widgets that are more important

00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:13.279
so when you are sleeping in the middle of the night and you want to check on what time it is and you don't have a

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:17.360
digital clock or anything else uh you could just glance at your phone in

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:23.079
comparison to the iPhone 15 Pro which hasn't always on screen the standard 15

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:28.040
doesn't have that feature however with a simple tap you should be able to bring

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:33.440
up the standby mode it's so weird how simple a feature can be but also so

00:11:30.760 --> 00:11:37.560
helpful every morning I ask Alexa what the weather is going to be like but if I

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.320
could have my time and my weather right beside me when I wake up I wouldn't have

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.440
to do that it's just one simple step that I can skip uh using this feature

00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:53.279
which is super cool is there anything else oh they've got like a wide wide

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:56.320
wide very wide Apple has also added this

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:59.399
thing called name drop where you can

00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:02.320
easily share contacts by simp simply

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:06.959
putting the phone tips together shall we try it all

00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:17.639
right wow crazy on that was wonderful oh I

00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:23.360
need to set up my card and my contacts oh there we are wow so fancy

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:28.600
that was fantastic don't do me so I think if I go back to my initial

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:30.959
question where I ask does the iPhone 15

00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:35.600
make me want to go to an Apple Store Wait in a line or make an appointment

00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:41.760
probably not I think between my iPhone 12 and the iPhone

00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:44.399
15 the features haven't changed too much

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:50.120
I mean the dynamic island is cool and is a very aesthetic feature and sharing

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:55.800
contacts by simply touching tips I think the camera is the part that always gets

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:58.880
to me because it's not really a feature

00:12:55.800 --> 00:13:00.480
that I'm generally super stoked about

00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:04.360
but when you hear all of these positive things about it try it out for yourself

00:13:02.760 --> 00:13:09.600
and then aren't as impressed as everybody's telling you you're going to

00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:11.360
be I don't know maybe that's just me

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:14.199
like everybody can make their own decisions and if you're the type of

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:18.839
person that wants to go and buy every single new version of iPhone and try it

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:24.519
out to its fullest and really get to pick at the positives and the negatives

00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:31.440
as you go through kind of the cycle that's not me the iPhone 15 starts at

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:33.320
$79 9 USD I gu depending on the storage

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:39.480
that you go with they go all the way up to $10.99 and that's just the standard

00:13:37.079 --> 00:13:47.880
then you have the choice between the iPhone 15 plus which is 6.7 in and it's

00:13:44.040 --> 00:13:51.399
$100 more for each or you can choose the

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:53.519
pro uh or the pro Max which again ends

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:59.199
up being a bit pricier I haven't checked out the features of the pro but based on

00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:04.600
the iPhone 15 that I looked at today I'm not convinced that I need to upgrade I

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:06.759
do find that adding USBC is a convincing

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:11.440
addition however I don't know if it really would make that big of a

00:14:08.079 --> 00:14:13.920
difference to my personal workflow um

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:18.040
but maybe it will to yours so at the end of the day it's a cool

00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:22.040
phone I hope you enjoyed this ShortCircuit like comment and subscribe and
