1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,839
yeah i know my video's late because i didn't get an

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:10,719
iphone 10 until d brand actually bought one skinned it and shipped it to me but

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,679
unlike some people i'm not going to make a big salty song and dance out of it

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:20,400
because frankly if i was apple i probably wouldn't feel like spending the

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:22,000
thousand dollars or even 370 dollars to

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,680
hear what i'm about to say about their latest and greatest either

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,279
especially in front of their store which is under renovation i wanted to do this

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,559
in front of the cube today's video is brought to you by mac weldon i was going

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,480
to wear the shirt but it's so cold mack weldon believes in smart design premium

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:46,030
fabrics and simple shopping use offer code tech tips at the link below to get

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:54,239
20 percent off on your next order

12
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:02,000
now if the iphone 8 and the 8 plus are fraternal twins then the 10 is kind of

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,320
like the love child from that brief but intense affair that everyone knows mom

14
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:12,080
had but that no one talks about unless uncle gordon's had too much to drink

15
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:14,720
apple reused almost every major internal

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:20,320
component making the 10 with its beefy battery three gigs of RAM and dual rear

17
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:25,439
camera system something familiar kind of like a plus in a regular sized body and

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,040
yet something totally different because as i fix it revealed in their fantastic

19
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,680
tear down to achieve this spectacular

20
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:39,600
density they actually went back to a technique so old we haven't seen it

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,159
since the original iphone a dual pcb

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,119
internal layout that in another creative move uses dual lithium ion batteries for

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,479
maximum density but while in some ways physically the 10 is

24
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,680
what i've been asking out before for years

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,560
less concerned with reducing thickness and weight and more with increasing

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,479
battery life and features like wireless charging this comes at the cost of it

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:09,440
feeling well kind of heavy and thick

28
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:14,800
to be clear i still vastly prefer the form factor of the 10 compared to the 8

29
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:19,599
plus its size makes it much easier to hold on to even if it's slim bezels mean

30
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,720
an accidental drop is more likely to be fatal

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,599
it's just that the slight increase in unwieldiness compared to the 8 is

32
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,680
compounded by the 10's unfamiliar new gesture based controls

33
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,640
before i get to those though let's talk about the screen

34
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,280
i am sorely disappointed that my 120

35
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,519
hertz prediction didn't come true but otherwise it's everything that you could

36
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,720
hope for from a top of the line phone in 2017. apple took the best mobile OLED

37
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:54,239
screen technology on the market from samsung and tuned it to damn near

38
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,800
perfection it's the brightest OLED i've ever seen making for the best direct

39
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:04,400
sunlight viewing experience that i've seen yet and the best rendering of HDR

40
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,840
content that i've seen yet and the ultra tall or

41
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,760
ultra wide depending on how you look at it aspect ratio combined with the stereo

42
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:20,400
bottom firing and earpiece speaker combo makes it great for watching cinema

43
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,560
aspect ratio content like movie

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,319
is what i would say if it weren't for the notch

45
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,560
now for the vast majority of the content that you'll find on youtube or netflix

46
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:38,560
it and the rounded bottom corners will end

47
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,360
up cut off by pillar boxes but in movies

48
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:45,040
it is a literal black mark on what is otherwise the standard by which mobile

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:51,120
displays can be measured and while it's far less obnoxious i did

50
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:55,040
also notice it in day-to-day use a lot of people might not care about

51
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,159
something like this but there's no room at the top anymore for your battery

52
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:02,239
percent or your vpn connectivity status

53
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:07,760
requiring a swipe down from the top right to bring up the control center

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,920
blah so what do we get in return then in

55
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,239
tech enthusiast terms we get a marvelously densely packed not to

56
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:19,519
mention incredibly sophisticated array of sensors emitters and cameras that had

57
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,759
me hardcore nerding out but everyone else just calls it face id

58
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,400
without getting into the theoretically reduced security i mean no one that i

59
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:33,280
know was able to unlock my phone here's what it does really well

60
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:39,199
downloading apps buying stuff or logging into websites is in a word

61
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,880
amazing it worked nearly flawlessly

62
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:44,639
across all manner of challenging conditions from cold days where you

63
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,160
don't feel like taking off your gloves to touch to bright sunlight to pitch

64
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,479
blackness and even with a kid in my arms or a toothbrush hanging out of my mouth

65
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,320
and the feature that hides the details of your notifications until it

66
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,240
recognizes you is a biometric authentication game changer okay cool

67
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:10,320
now here's what's less awesome because the 10 only auto wakes when it's right

68
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,120
side up and has no obvious landmarks

69
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,520
when the screen is off like an always-on clock for example and because it

70
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,800
requires a swipe after it identifies you

71
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:28,960
i often found that it took me longer to unlock the 10 when i wanted to use my

72
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,520
phone face id to be clear is much better

73
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:36,880
than samsung's iris scanner across the board but it still requires a special

74
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,880
dance move to do something on your phone while it's sitting on the desk or table

75
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,160
next to you and back to that notification hiding thing i really wish

76
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,240
that it was a little bit faster like i've been using my old iphone 6 as an

77
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,440
mp3 player lately and man

78
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:58,160
i forgot how much worse first gen touch

79
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,520
id was and how much better fast biometrics are compared to just having

80
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,440
them at all all right fine then apple a notch in the

81
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,440
display for unlocking with wet hands

82
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,080
okay i can wait a little longer for you to put all this stuff behind the panel

83
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:18,000
and besides the notch actually bothered me far less than the interface and

84
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:22,639
navigation changes that were necessitated by the tens lack of a home

85
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,319
button all the new gestures are easy to remember and felt natural within minutes

86
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,000
to the point where i actually found myself swiping up on other devices

87
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:37,919
but multiple aspects of the new control scheme are marginally slower reinforcing

88
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,319
my belief that apple is either run by or caters to people who just

89
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:47,120
don't have a lot to do these people i assume have all the time

90
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,440
in the world to type names into their address book like a cave person instead

91
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,919
of using t9 dialing interact with their touch screen however

92
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,080
little it might be to quick launch their camera instead of double tapping a

93
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,560
hardware button they have time to pause mid gesture to wait for multitasking to

94
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,759
show up instead of pressing one button though the slide to the right is quite a

95
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:12,160
bit better they have time to hold

96
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:16,800
then swipe or reach to the top of the screen to force close a frozen app and

97
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:22,240
finally and yes i'm repeating this one they don't mind swiping their screen

98
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,400
every time they unlock their phone

99
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:29,120
now i'm not saying that apple did nothing right here control center from

100
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:33,599
the top right is much more reliable now that it no longer gets confused by the

101
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,479
on-screen keyboard and on that subject the dictation button under the on-screen

102
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:43,440
keyboard is super convenient which wait a second under the keyboard

103
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:48,720
leave it to apple to figure out the most obvious stuff that everyone else missed

104
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,800
i've been complaining for years that on devices with small chin bars it's harder

105
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:59,360
to touch type and they just went and put a space in there brilliant anyway in fairness to

106
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:04,960
apple the navigation isn't terrible it's just also not as advertised it's

107
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:09,280
not like a quantum leap forward in the way that i interact my phone and if

108
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:14,960
anything it makes me miss the Android back button even more than i normally do

109
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:19,360
on iOS not less now i'm not going to spend a ton of time on the camera or

110
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:24,720
animojis other than to say that if you like the excellent eight plus camera

111
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:29,599
and if you're a portrait mode focus fiend you'll like the tens camera and

112
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:34,159
that until apple allows animojis to be recorded and sent as video clips in

113
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,680
third-party chat apps easily i will be even less inclined to create awkward

114
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,919
moments in public than i already am so that brings me then to my conclusion

115
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,399
the original iphone was first gen execution of a brilliant idea and the

116
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,680
device that was created to celebrate its 10-year anniversary is brilliant

117
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:56,800
execution of what feels like a gen idea it really

118
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,360
seems to me like apple was trying really hard to make an innovative device then

119
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,680
make you like whatever they ended up with rather than looking forward to what

120
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,440
people wanted to do in their lives and building a solution around that an

121
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,000
approach that probably would have involved some more investment in siri so

122
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,680
bottom line then the iphone 10 is what it took to make me more excited about

123
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,760
the 8 and the 8 plus and ultimately

124
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:27,440
go back to the s8 so that i can stop carrying around this stupid bag of

125
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,440
headphone dongles

126
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,800
so this video was brought to you by the dbrand grip

127
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:39,920
my mother is so present never drop your phone again its key features include

128

full dbrand skin compatibility so you can customize it still however you want

131
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:59,279
using the dbrand site and finally ultra tactile buttons i don't know quite how

132
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:05,040
they did it but they managed to make the buttons on your phone feel better for

133
