WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.480
recently we released a video detailing my thoughts on the new iphone 10s and

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.400
10s max and apple's position as an innovator in general and maybe it's a

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.360
video i shouldn't have done because i allowed myself to get emotional rather

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.680
than giving equal airtime to positive aspects of the iphone experience that

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.359
might not mean as much to me but clearly mean a lot to our community

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:27.760
so with the goal in mind of creating a

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:33.360
second video now to balance out our first we turned to you and asked

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:38.640
what were the main reasons that you bought your iphone why do you love it

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:44.399
and we compiled this list of 10 legitimate ways that iphones still beat

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:49.200
the competition even if i still personally feel that their latest

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:51.600
refresh is incremental expensive and

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:56.239
boring thanks to lastpass for sponsoring this video their password manager now

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.840
supports face id on the latest iphones learn more at the end of the video

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.000
reason number one is security and privacy and this has become one of

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:17.439
apple's biggest talking points recently and for good reason their long history

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.840
as a company might not be perfect but they've taken some very bold steps

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:27.520
in the interest of protecting their customers even refusing to comply with

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:33.119
fbi requests to unlock their customers phones while Android is closing the gap

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.200
here in general iphones are more secure than Android devices where iphones

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:43.200
deliver consistent hardware-based security like the secure enclave and the

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.320
now infamous usb restricted mode on

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.720
Android hardware based security varies

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:53.759
wildly between manufacturers with some handsets even having been accused of

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:59.840
phoning home and providing user information to third parties

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.399
as for the software well base Android is

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:06.799
open source which theoretically would give a security advantage over apple

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.280
because anyone could go in and examine the code for vulnerabilities

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:16.239
in practice though the Android that ships on almost any device

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:22.000
that you can actually buy has been modified by the manufacturer and those

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.160
changes are typically not open source

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:29.200
furthermore the google play store tends to have more malicious apps on it due to

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:34.800
looser submission criteria and even if it didn't Android allows users to

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.760
install apps outside of the play store an attack vector that simply doesn't

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.440
exist for iphone users and one that is actually currently in the process of

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.200
becoming normalized by companies like epic games so they won't have to pay

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:51.599
google a cut of their in-game purchase revenue reason number two is

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.680
optimization the smartphone market has matured to the point where chinese

00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:00.959
brands that you've never heard of are making phones that legitimately aren't

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:06.080
complete garbage yet apple's deep integration between the hardware and the

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:09.360
os continues to give them a lead in

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:11.040
speed stability and just

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:16.239
feeling smooth now Android fans will complain

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:21.840
apple cheaped out on the specs of their phone but the cold hard truth is that

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:25.040
just because apple's investment wasn't in

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.440
more dram chips to solder to their main boards doesn't mean that they

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:34.640
necessarily cheaped out software development costs real money

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

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

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:48.239
full generation ahead of the competition apple presses this advantage by offering

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.519
reason number three industry leading device support apple's

00:03:51.120 --> 00:04:00.640
phones and tablets get updates both for features and security more quickly more

00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:03.120
consistently and for longer than just

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.519
about any other mobile device on the market and contrary to the general

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:13.040
perception that exists that apple acts with planned obsolescence in mind

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.560
forcing users to upgrade by slowing down their old devices

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:22.320
the last few updates have actually had a lot of users reporting that their old

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.000
phone feels snappier after the update

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:28.720
the fact that iphones are so well optimized and supported by apple for

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.440
years after release contributes then to number four longevity you can use your

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.840
iphone for four five maybe even six years if you stretch it

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:42.720
it was actually only recently that my ipad 2 finally stopped working with

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:47.440
enough apps that i actually care about that i had to retire it

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

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:55.919
i mean i suspect a lot of the people out there watching this channel swap their

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:02.400
phones a little more frequently than that you could which is part of what helps

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:06.560
customers justify the four digit price tags on these things

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:11.840
that and iphones hold their value better people are still selling iphone 6s for

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.000
200. how much would you get today for your

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:22.560
galaxy s5 here's a hint probably less than this broken iphone 6

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.240
and they both came out in 2014. now

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:31.199
yes apple did slow down phones with old batteries without telling anyone

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.400
but considering that the longevity of the hardware is one of their main

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:37.440
selling points i get why they didn't want to go around

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:42.800
shouting hey your old iphone's battery sucks and

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

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:50.320
new apps often launch first on iphone

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

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:01.600
iphone users to spend money and just plain old developer preference

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:05.120
but at the end of the day none of those reasons

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:10.800
really matter because when i buy a phone it's ultimately about the experience i'm

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:12.080
going to have and Android users often

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.479
have to wait longer whether it's for the companion

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:21.919
app for that kickstarter you backed a hot new social network like tbh which

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:26.160
managed to get big enough to be acquired and then eventually shut down by

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:30.720
facebook before it ever hit Android or even a global phenomenon like fortnite

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:35.600
which only arrived on Android in august despite being available on iOS a full

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:42.000
four months earlier bringing us to at least one important app that is never

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:44.639
coming to Android imessage imessage is

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:49.919
objectively way better than sms there's group chats read receipts stickers and

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.720
it works over wi-fi so you can use it across your devices even without your

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.720
sim installed all great stuff and yes you could use whatsapp or facebook

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:02.240
messenger or wechat or just about any chat app that you want for that

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:08.960
animoji's notwithstanding but the fact is that imessage like facetime is a

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:11.199
default that everyone with an iphone has

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:15.199
and that gives it tremendous power i've actually heard Android users complain

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:20.080
about missing out on events with their friends because the invite only happens

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.240
to go out to the imessage group chat and as a techie

00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:29.360
how difficult it is to convince iOS users to install third-party chat apps

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:35.520
might make my brain hurt a little bit but here again the reason imessage is

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:40.800
important doesn't matter it's all about the user experience and people prefer it

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:45.680
because why would you want to switch when it works so well with your other

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:50.800
apple devices you can reply to messages from your macbook and secure code

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:54.960
autofill super cool it'll just grab that two-factor sms from your phone and plop

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:59.599
it down directly in your browser because that's right number seven is the

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.199
ecosystem your photos messages and browsing history are synced between your

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:06.960
iphone and macbook you've got universal copy paste you can send files with

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:11.759
airdrop instead of trying to figure out if your friend's phone has nfc at all

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.919
and if it does where exactly the stupid antennas align and even i was blown away

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:22.639
by how legitimately pretty damn magical the pairing process

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:27.360
is for the airpods which are an accessory and accessories are reason

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:31.680
number eight that segue wasn't that bad right the thing about having a large

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:37.519
number of people out there using the same device is that there's money to be

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.719
made making everything from cases to

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:42.719
gimbals to even personal massager okay

00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:47.440
not not all of the iphone accessories make a ton of sense but the point is

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:51.680
when it comes to accessories iphones do give you more choice number nine

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.800
is the hardware mute button believe it or not this is one of the few features

00:08:53.920 --> 00:09:01.839
that has stuck around since the very first iphone and curiously hasn't been

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:07.279
copied on mass by other phone manufacturers oneplus who does include a

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.440
similar three position switch on their phones is actually kind of the odd one

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

00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:18.240
find a place to put another button they just want it to like summon bixby or

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:23.680
whatever the especially funny thing here is that while most people assume that

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:27.760
apple has the mute switch uh patented or something we actually couldn't find any

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:31.760
evidence for that so hit us up in the comments if you know something that we

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:35.839
don't know here bringing us finally to number 10

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:39.839
setup now both iOS and Android through your apple id and your google account

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:44.080
respectively allow you to transfer your apps and photos from your old device to

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:49.680
your new one but when it comes to the smoothness of the experience only some

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:55.040
Android migrations manage to retain system settings and app icon placements

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:59.040
like when you go from a samsung to a samsung apple

00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:03.920
does all this stuff by default and for enterprise zero touch deployments with

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.680
apple take the cake again apple's business manager helps companies

00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:11.839
automate device deployment delegate administrative privileges and purchase

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

00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:21.519
not be a big deal for you the individual employee but

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

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:30.560
are stuck with an iphone for work even if you'd prefer something else so the

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:34.880
final component of this video then is just me wanting to set the record

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:39.440
straight once and for all i don't hate apple's devices

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:41.040
and i don't specifically hate the iphone

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.279
i have been frustrated with some of the decisions that they've made recently

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:48.800
notably the inclusion of a display notch and the removal of the headphone jack

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:53.519
particularly because the rest of the industry is such a bunch of mindless

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.600
copycats so whenever apple goes and does

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:59.920
something that i disagree with i can pretty much count on everyone else doing

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

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

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:13.519
trouble i i think i let myself get too involved emotionally and while i do

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:17.600
stand behind the vast majority of what i said and i even left out some big

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.040
frustrations that i realized as i was sitting here about to shoot this video

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:24.399
including like of course face id doesn't work though

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:29.440
missed opportunity how is this not a fingerprint sensor touch id is awesome i

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

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:38.320
praise on touch id how does this not have an always on display this is the

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:43.680
good video right sorry this is the video but what's good missing the aesim

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:45.839
capabilities of the iphone 10s was one

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:50.800
glaring omission that i really feel bad about and so i just want people to

00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:56.240
understand that my criticisms came from a place of love maybe not love for apple

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

00:11:58.959 --> 00:12:05.279
to see them continue to do great things and i really hope that the iphone

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:09.519
xs 2 knocks my socks off and makes phones

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:14.560
exciting again because i think that's one thing that the fandroids out there

00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:18.800
and the sheeple can agree on phones have gotten a bit boring lately

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:23.040
and we really need something to come in and shake up the market so thanks again

00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:27.279
to lastpass for sponsoring this video i've been using lastpass for years now

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:31.600
lastpass is a password manager that relieves the troubles of remembering

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:35.200
your passwords and reduces anxiety about getting locked out of your accounts and

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:40.240
the hassle of waiting around for password reset emails you'll never need

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:44.720
to write down remember or reset a password again lastpass allows you to

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:49.680
keep track of them so that you can stay sane and secure and the best part is

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:54.880
that it's cross-platform it works on desktop it works on mobile sites it

00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:59.120
works for apps and it works on iOS and Android whenever you open up an app or a

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:04.399
website lastpass will fill in your username and password making logging in

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.680
simple and this was such an amazingly

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:12.880
pleasant surprise i actually can't believe i didn't include it in my original review lastpass now supports

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:15.440
face id with the iphone 10 10r and 10s

00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:19.680
as well as of course the 10s max so all you have to do to unlock your lastpass

00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.880
vault is use your face instead of having to type your master password it's

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:27.839
freaking awesome and you can click the link below to learn more about lastpass
