iPhone X Review – Pushing Me to Android

Yes, I know my video was late because I didn't buy an iPhone 10 until Brand D bought one, took it down, and sent it to me, but unlike some people, I'm not going to make a big salty song and dance to it because, frankly. If I were Apple, I probably wouldn't feel like spending a thousand dollars or even $370 to hear what I'm about to say about their latest and greatest, especially in front of their store, which is under renovation. I wanted to do this in front of the cube today's video is brought to you by mac weldon I was going to wear the shirt but it's so cold mack weldon believes in smart design, premium fabrics and easy wear shopping offers tech tips codes click the link below to get 20 percent off your next order now If the iPhone 8 and 8 plus are fraternal twins, then the 10 is like the love child of that brief but intense adventure everyone knows Mom had but no one talks about it unless Uncle Gordon has had too much to drink.

Apple reused almost all the main internal components, making the 10, with its robust battery, three gigs of RAM and dual rear camera system, something familiar, something of a plus in a normal-sized body and yet somewhat totally different because, as I arrange it, it reveals itself in its fantastic tear. To achieve this spectacular density, they actually turned to a technique so old we haven't seen it since the original iPhone, an internal dual PCB design that in another creative move uses dual lithium-ion batteries for maximum density, but although Somehow physically 10 is what I've been asking for before for years, less concerned about reducing thickness and weight and more about increasing battery life and features like wireless charging, this comes at the cost of it feeling good, a slightly heavy and thick, to be clear, I still prefer the form factor of the 10 compared to the 8 and its size makes it much easier to hold, even if its thin bezels mean that an accidental drop is more likely to be fatal, It's just that the slight increase in handling difficulty compared to the 8 is compounded by the 10's new, unfamiliar gesture-based controls before we get to them.

Even though we're talking about the screen, I'm very disappointed that my prediction of 120 hertz may not have become a reality, but otherwise it's everything you can expect from a top-of-the-line phone. in 2017. Apple took the best mobile OLED display technology on the market from Samsung and fine-tuned it to near perfection. It's the brightest OLED I've ever seen, providing the best direct sunlight viewing experience I've seen yet and the best rendering. of HDR content I've seen so far and the ultra tall or ultra wide aspect ratio, depending on how you look at it, combined with the combination of stereo bottom firing and earpiece speaker, makes it ideal for watching cinema aspect ratio content, Like a movie, that's what I would do.

Let's say that if it weren't for the notch now for the vast majority of content you'll find on YouTube or Netflix, the rounded bottom corners would end up cut off by the pillars, but in movies it's a literal black mark. what is the standard by which mobile screens can be measured and while it is much less unpleasant, I also noticed it in everyday use, a lot of people may not care about something like this, but there is no room in the part anymore Top for your battery percentage or your VPN connectivity status require swiping down from the top right to open the control center, blah, so what do we get in return?

So, in terms of technology enthusiasts, we get a wonderfully dense, not to mention incredibly sophisticated, range of sensor emitters. and cameras that had me as a hardcore nerd, but everyone else just calls it Face ID without going into the theoretically reduced security. I mean, no one I know could unlock my phone. This is what it does really well: downloading apps, buying things, or logging into websites. In a word, it's amazing, it worked almost perfectly in all kinds of challenging conditions, from cold days where you don't feel like taking off your gloves to touch the sunlight to complete darkness and even with a child in your arms or a hanging toothbrush. out of my mouth and the feature that hides your notification details until it recognizes you is a game-changer in biometric authentication.

Okay great, now here's what's less surprising because the 10 only automatically wakes up when face up and has no obvious landmarks when the screen is off like an always-on watch, for example, and because it requires swiping finger after identifying you, I often found that it took me longer to unlock the 10 when I wanted to use my phone's Face ID to be clear, it's much better than Samsung's iris scanner. across the board, but it still requires a special dance move to do something on your phone while it's sitting on the desk or table next to you and get back to that notification hiding thing.

I really wish it was a little faster like I've been before. I've been using my old iPhone 6 as an mp3 player lately and, man, I forgot how worst the first-gen Touch ID was and how much better quick biometrics are compared to just having it right, then put a notch on the screen to unlock with water. Hands, well, I can wait a little longer for you to put all this stuff behind the panel, and besides, the notch actually bothered me a lot less than the interface and navigation changes that were necessitated by the lack of a home button .

All new gestures are easy. remember and felt natural within minutes to the point where I found myself swiping up on other devices, but multiple aspects of the new control scheme are marginally slower, reinforcing my belief that Apple is run by people They just don't have I guess there's a lot to do - these people have all the time in the world to type names in their address book like a caveman instead of using t9 dialing, interacting with their touch screen, however little That is, quickly launch your camera instead of double tapping. a hardware button, they have time to pause mid-gesture to wait for multitasking to appear instead of pressing a button, although swiping right is quite a bit better, they have time to hold and then swipe or reach the top of the screen to force close a frozen app and finally, yes, I'm repeating this one, they don't mind swiping the screen every time they unlock their phone.

Now I'm not saying that Apple didn't do anything here. The control center from the top right is much more reliable. Now that's no longer confused with the on-screen keyboard, and on that note, the dictation button below the on-screen keyboard is super convenient. Wait a second under the keyboard and let Apple figure out the more obvious things than everyone else. I got lost, I've been complaining for years that on devices with small chin guards it's harder to touch type and they just put a space there, shiny anyway, to be fair to Apple the navigation isn't terrible, it's just not like It is announced.

It's like a quantum leap in the way I interact with my phone and, if anything, it makes me miss the back button on Android even more than I normally do on iOS and no less. Now I'm not going to spend a lot of time in front of the camera or animojis other than to say that if you like the excellent eight plus camera and if you are a fan of the portrait mode focus, you will like the tens camera and that is until Apple allows recording and sending animojis as video clips in a third-party chat. apps I'll easily be even less inclined to create awkward moments in public than I already am, so that leads me to my conclusion that the original iPhone was the first-generation execution of a brilliant idea and the device that was created to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

It's a brilliant execution of what seems like a generic idea. It really seems to me that Apple was trying too hard to create an innovative device and then make you like whatever they ended up with instead of looking forward to what people wanted to do in their lives and build. a solution around that, an approach that probably would have involved a bigger investment in Siri, so in short, the iPhone 10 is what I needed to get more excited about the 8 and 8 plus and eventually return to the s8 for power stop carrying this stupid bag of headphone adapters so this video was brought to you by dbrand grip my mom is so present never drop your phone again its key features include its revolutionary grip its world class d3o shock absorption technology a Industry-first carbon composite frame Full compatibility with the DBrand skin so you can customize it however you want using the DBrand site and finally ultra-tactile buttons.
