00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,480
recently we released a video detailing my thoughts on the new iphone 10s and

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,400
10s max and apple's position as an innovator in general and maybe it's a

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,360
video i shouldn't have done because i allowed myself to get emotional rather

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,680
than giving equal airtime to positive aspects of the iphone experience that

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,359
might not mean as much to me but clearly mean a lot to our community

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,760
so with the goal in mind of creating a

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:33,360
second video now to balance out our first we turned to you and asked

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:38,640
what were the main reasons that you bought your iphone why do you love it

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,399
and we compiled this list of 10 legitimate ways that iphones still beat

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:49,200
the competition even if i still personally feel that their latest

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,600
refresh is incremental expensive and

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,239
boring thanks to lastpass for sponsoring this video their password manager now

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,840
supports face id on the latest iphones learn more at the end of the video

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,000
reason number one is security and privacy and this has become one of

15
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:17,439
apple's biggest talking points recently and for good reason their long history

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,840
as a company might not be perfect but they've taken some very bold steps

17
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:27,520
in the interest of protecting their customers even refusing to comply with

18
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:33,119
fbi requests to unlock their customers phones while Android is closing the gap

19
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:37,200
here in general iphones are more secure than Android devices where iphones

20
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:43,200
deliver consistent hardware-based security like the secure enclave and the

21
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,320
now infamous usb restricted mode on

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Android hardware based security varies

23
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,759
wildly between manufacturers with some handsets even having been accused of

24
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:59,840
phoning home and providing user information to third parties

25
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,399
as for the software well base Android is

26
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:06,799
open source which theoretically would give a security advantage over apple

27
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,280
because anyone could go in and examine the code for vulnerabilities

28
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:16,239
in practice though the Android that ships on almost any device

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,000
that you can actually buy has been modified by the manufacturer and those

30
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,160
changes are typically not open source

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,200
furthermore the google play store tends to have more malicious apps on it due to

32
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:34,800
looser submission criteria and even if it didn't Android allows users to

33
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,760
install apps outside of the play store an attack vector that simply doesn't

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,440
exist for iphone users and one that is actually currently in the process of

35
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:47,200
becoming normalized by companies like epic games so they won't have to pay

36
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:51,599
google a cut of their in-game purchase revenue reason number two is

37
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,680
optimization the smartphone market has matured to the point where chinese

38
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,959
brands that you've never heard of are making phones that legitimately aren't

39
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:06,080
complete garbage yet apple's deep integration between the hardware and the

40
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,360
os continues to give them a lead in

41
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,040
speed stability and just

42
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,239
feeling smooth now Android fans will complain

43
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:21,840
apple cheaped out on the specs of their phone but the cold hard truth is that

44
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,040
just because apple's investment wasn't in

45
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:29,440
more dram chips to solder to their main boards doesn't mean that they

46
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:34,640
necessarily cheaped out software development costs real money

47
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:39,200
and it's not an accident that they get more out of 4 gigs of RAM than others

48
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:44,400
are getting with 10 and one more thing their cpus are at times as much as a

49
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,239
full generation ahead of the competition apple presses this advantage by offering

50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,519
reason number three industry leading device support apple's

51
00:03:51,120 --> 00:04:00,640
phones and tablets get updates both for features and security more quickly more

52
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,120
consistently and for longer than just

53
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,519
about any other mobile device on the market and contrary to the general

54
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:13,040
perception that exists that apple acts with planned obsolescence in mind

55
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,560
forcing users to upgrade by slowing down their old devices

56
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:22,320
the last few updates have actually had a lot of users reporting that their old

57
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,000
phone feels snappier after the update

58
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,720
the fact that iphones are so well optimized and supported by apple for

59
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,440
years after release contributes then to number four longevity you can use your

60
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,840
iphone for four five maybe even six years if you stretch it

61
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,720
it was actually only recently that my ipad 2 finally stopped working with

62
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,440
enough apps that i actually care about that i had to retire it

63
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:52,000
and the thing about this is that even if you won't use your device for five years

64
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,919
i mean i suspect a lot of the people out there watching this channel swap their

65
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:02,400
phones a little more frequently than that you could which is part of what helps

66
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,560
customers justify the four digit price tags on these things

67
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,840
that and iphones hold their value better people are still selling iphone 6s for

68
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
200. how much would you get today for your

69
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:22,560
galaxy s5 here's a hint probably less than this broken iphone 6

70
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:26,240
and they both came out in 2014. now

71
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:31,199
yes apple did slow down phones with old batteries without telling anyone

72
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,400
but considering that the longevity of the hardware is one of their main

73
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:37,440
selling points i get why they didn't want to go around

74
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,800
shouting hey your old iphone's battery sucks and

75
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:49,199
so that's why we had to slow it down a bit from the mountaintops number five

76
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,320
new apps often launch first on iphone

77
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:57,440
and there are a lot of interesting reasons for this including device penetration in the us the propensity for

78
00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:01,600
iphone users to spend money and just plain old developer preference

79
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,120
but at the end of the day none of those reasons

80
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:10,800
really matter because when i buy a phone it's ultimately about the experience i'm

81
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,080
going to have and Android users often

82
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,479
have to wait longer whether it's for the companion

83
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:21,919
app for that kickstarter you backed a hot new social network like tbh which

84
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:26,160
managed to get big enough to be acquired and then eventually shut down by

85
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,720
facebook before it ever hit Android or even a global phenomenon like fortnite

86
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:35,600
which only arrived on Android in august despite being available on iOS a full

87
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:42,000
four months earlier bringing us to at least one important app that is never

88
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,639
coming to Android imessage imessage is

89
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,919
objectively way better than sms there's group chats read receipts stickers and

90
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,720
it works over wi-fi so you can use it across your devices even without your

91
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:58,720
sim installed all great stuff and yes you could use whatsapp or facebook

92
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,240
messenger or wechat or just about any chat app that you want for that

93
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:08,960
animoji's notwithstanding but the fact is that imessage like facetime is a

94
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:11,199
default that everyone with an iphone has

95
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,199
and that gives it tremendous power i've actually heard Android users complain

96
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:20,080
about missing out on events with their friends because the invite only happens

97
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,240
to go out to the imessage group chat and as a techie

98
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:29,360
how difficult it is to convince iOS users to install third-party chat apps

99
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:35,520
might make my brain hurt a little bit but here again the reason imessage is

100
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:40,800
important doesn't matter it's all about the user experience and people prefer it

101
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,680
because why would you want to switch when it works so well with your other

102
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:50,800
apple devices you can reply to messages from your macbook and secure code

103
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:54,960
autofill super cool it'll just grab that two-factor sms from your phone and plop

104
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,599
it down directly in your browser because that's right number seven is the

105
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,199
ecosystem your photos messages and browsing history are synced between your

106
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:06,960
iphone and macbook you've got universal copy paste you can send files with

107
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,759
airdrop instead of trying to figure out if your friend's phone has nfc at all

108
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,919
and if it does where exactly the stupid antennas align and even i was blown away

109
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:22,639
by how legitimately pretty damn magical the pairing process

110
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,360
is for the airpods which are an accessory and accessories are reason

111
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,680
number eight that segue wasn't that bad right the thing about having a large

112
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:37,519
number of people out there using the same device is that there's money to be

113
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,719
made making everything from cases to

114
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:42,719
gimbals to even personal massager okay

115
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:47,440
not not all of the iphone accessories make a ton of sense but the point is

116
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:51,680
when it comes to accessories iphones do give you more choice number nine

117
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,800
is the hardware mute button believe it or not this is one of the few features

118
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:01,839
that has stuck around since the very first iphone and curiously hasn't been

119
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,279
copied on mass by other phone manufacturers oneplus who does include a

120
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,440
similar three position switch on their phones is actually kind of the odd one

121
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:14,080
out there with and the weird thing is that it's not even because they can't

122
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,240
find a place to put another button they just want it to like summon bixby or

123
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:23,680
whatever the especially funny thing here is that while most people assume that

124
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:27,760
apple has the mute switch uh patented or something we actually couldn't find any

125
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:31,760
evidence for that so hit us up in the comments if you know something that we

126
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,839
don't know here bringing us finally to number 10

127
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:39,839
setup now both iOS and Android through your apple id and your google account

128
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:44,080
respectively allow you to transfer your apps and photos from your old device to

129
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:49,680
your new one but when it comes to the smoothness of the experience only some

130
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Android migrations manage to retain system settings and app icon placements

131
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:59,040
like when you go from a samsung to a samsung apple

132
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,920
does all this stuff by default and for enterprise zero touch deployments with

133
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,680
apple take the cake again apple's business manager helps companies

134
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,839
automate device deployment delegate administrative privileges and purchase

135
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,920
apps in bulk so that it's easy to manage user licenses now that last one might

136
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:21,519
not be a big deal for you the individual employee but

137
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:26,320
this is about reasons to own an iphone and so it could be a big reason that you

138
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,560
are stuck with an iphone for work even if you'd prefer something else so the

139
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:34,880
final component of this video then is just me wanting to set the record

140
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:39,440
straight once and for all i don't hate apple's devices

141
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:41,040
and i don't specifically hate the iphone

142
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,279
i have been frustrated with some of the decisions that they've made recently

143
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,800
notably the inclusion of a display notch and the removal of the headphone jack

144
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:53,519
particularly because the rest of the industry is such a bunch of mindless

145
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,600
copycats so whenever apple goes and does

146
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:59,920
something that i disagree with i can pretty much count on everyone else doing

147
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:05,440
the same thing within a product cycle or two i also wasn't excited for the iphone

148
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,200
10s and the 10s max in general and i guess that's where i really ran into

149
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:13,519
trouble i i think i let myself get too involved emotionally and while i do

150
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,600
stand behind the vast majority of what i said and i even left out some big

151
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,040
frustrations that i realized as i was sitting here about to shoot this video

152
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,399
including like of course face id doesn't work though

153
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:29,440
missed opportunity how is this not a fingerprint sensor touch id is awesome i

154
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:34,240
love to touch it people are like alanis you're such an apple hater i buy heaped

155
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:38,320
praise on touch id how does this not have an always on display this is the

156
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,680
good video right sorry this is the video but what's good missing the aesim

157
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,839
capabilities of the iphone 10s was one

158
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:50,800
glaring omission that i really feel bad about and so i just want people to

159
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:56,240
understand that my criticisms came from a place of love maybe not love for apple

160
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,800
in general or the iphone in particular but of tech i'm rooting for apple i want

161
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:05,279
to see them continue to do great things and i really hope that the iphone

162
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,519
xs 2 knocks my socks off and makes phones

163
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:14,560
exciting again because i think that's one thing that the fandroids out there

164
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:18,800
and the sheeple can agree on phones have gotten a bit boring lately

165
