hey guys this is Austin a couple months ago I did a video talking about why I switch to the iPhone ten are a big part of that is because so many people are hating on this phone I thought surely it can't be that bad so when my personal 10 s broke I figured why not give the 10r a shot after three months of using this as my daily I have a lot of thoughts since I did my last video there have been a lot of headlines that the iPhone 10 are is a failure take one look at the Apple website and they are seriously pushing the ten are not like does it get front page space but on top of that they're really pushing a promotion that is all about getting it for a little bit cheaper with a phone trade in something the Apple very rarely advertises this is all for good reason the price of the 10r was recently slashed by 20% in China and there have been carriers here in the u.s. such as t-mobile who have regularly been doing a buy one get one free or even a free phone when you sign up for a new line that is not something that you traditionally see with iPhones and it's all indicative of the fact this is just not selling as well as they had hoped Apple even had to revise their earnings report for the first time in nearly 20 years almost entirely on the back of i phone demand being weaker than they expected now it's not exactly this clear-cut is that Tim Cook has gone on record as saying that the iPhone 10 R is the best-selling iPhone right now but that does really mean a lot and you're comparing it to things like the 10s and 10's Mac's both of which are significantly more expensive phones if you were to stack the iPhone 10 hour side by side with say and I like an iPhone 6s or seven my assumption is that this is not selling quite as well and that's a big problem here's the thing though the iPhone 10 R is my favorite iPhone you can buy today and that's not even counting the price so let's just run through what you can get with the 10r first of all one of the most important components is that Apple a12 processor this is something that's easy to overlook but it is a big deal having a fast SOC that's also efficient makes a big difference in pretty much all aspects of a phone's performance it also has the same front and rear facing cameras and you are losing the telephoto option from the 10 s and the 10 s max but if I'm going to be completely real with you I really don't miss it now if you have really good lighting it is a nice thing to have and the portrait mode can work out pretty well sometimes but about 95% of the time I'm using the wide-angle camera and here the iPhone 10 R is completely identical to the much much more expensive options aka Tenace and the x max the issue with telephoto is that you have a smaller sensor with an inferior lens it generally just doesn't look quite as good as when you shoot it on the main shooter and while yes portrait mode on the iPhone 10 R is not as good as something like the pixel it's decent enough that I really don't have any major complaints that is the next step up is to go to that pixel beyond that the 10s and the 10s max don't make a big difference to me and compared to the 10s you've got those same great speakers you have the same wireless charging you also have a ton of what I think are pretty cool colors the biggest difference really is the display whereas the 10s and the test max have OLED something that's very common across the industry right now the 10r has to make do with a lowly IPS panel but you know what it is really not bad no yes it should be higher resolution it's not even quite 1080p but the important thing is is that to my eye unless you're really pixel peeping it does not look bad and we take all of this and combine it with the fact that the iPhone 10 R is a full $250 less than the 10 as it starts to seem almost reasonably priced the 10 s wasn't $1000 however my favorite feature by far is the battery life compared to the 10s Max and especially the 10s it is a night and day difference wishing to the 10r it just lasts so much longer when I daily the iPhone 10 eyes I was really lucky to make it through a full day without hitting the charger and yet with the 10r most nights I don't even bother to charge it a few minutes here and there at my desk or in the car is all I need to make it through a day and the next day this is especially important when I'm traveling so I recently spent a week in Vegas for CES and now once I need to plug in the iPhone 10 throughout the day in fact my best day was I pulled the phone off the charger two o'clock in the morning and 16 hours later with six hours of screen on and two hours of screen off I still had like 16% left this thing is an endurance champ in a world where Android phones are getting bigger and bigger batteries the iPhone 10 R is the only iPhone that you can buy today that has good enough battery life as far as I'm concerned now the 8 plus last year is probably the closest to something like that but realistically a lot of phones can get you through a day of medium use or light use but the 10r is the first time they've been able to make it through a full day of proper use I think it's something that people are seriously overlooking when they take a look at the 10r it is by far my favorite features the phone I really feel like the iPhone 10 R doesn't deserve the bad rap that it's gotten as far as I'm concerned this is the only iPhone in 2019 so far that I recommend buying it's got the right blend of performance camera and importantly it's got that battery life
