hey guys this is Austin the iPhone tennis is one of the best phones you can buy today which makes sense as it's also one of the most expensive flagship sever as opposed to doing our normal is it worth the video this year instead I think it's a lot more useful if we answer the most important question with any new gadgets launched who should buy the iPhone 10s one big reason to pick up the 10s for the 10s max is if you're already in the Apple ecosystem and you're looking for an upgrade especially if you're coming from an older device such as an iPhone 6 or 6s this is a big step forward take the camera for example put it side-by-side with the success and you will notice a big difference now part of this is because there are several generations between the phones which means that things like color science dynamic range and the video quality is all been improved but you're also getting additional functionality including the second telephoto option which is especially useful for the portrait mode which is actually pretty good on the 10s it's also hard to overlook the difference in screen size go on to the days of huge bezels on top and bottom instead the new iPhone is basically all screen up front including the knotch oh yes my friends the knotch look personally I don't mind the knotch not only is it on basically every flagship phone out there but at this point well sure you might think it looks ugly almost anyone's going to be able to get used to it very quickly that notch houses one of the biggest differences between the 10s and previous generations face ID put simply instead of having a home button with touch ID instead you use your face to unlock the 10 and the 10s and generally speaking it works pretty well certainly not perfect as far as I'm concerned not bad there are also some software updates from legacy phones and so which are pretty substantial one of my favorites is the gesture based navigation since you don't have a home button to be able to exit apps as well as swipe in and out of multitasking and whatnot this makes it a lot faster to be able to just swipe on the bottom of the screen performance is also a consideration every year the iPhone does get faster and while the a series processors have been really impressive especially in the last couple years when you pit the 10s compared to the 10 and especially going back to the 7 and the 6s you're gonna know a pretty substantial difference sure the camera is a solid update this year but it is certainly not worth dropping another thousand dollars to get same thing goes for the performance yes on paper the 10s is faster but realistically there's almost no real-world difference more than any phone I've used in years the iPhone 10 has held up so well over a full year of use the battery life still lasts all day long it still feels fast the camera is great if you have one and you're not like rocking a broken screen or something it is almost impossible for me to recommend it over the 10 s no no I didn't actually mean that that's the wrong I flipped that the 10 still feels every bit as fast as it did last year and even more so now that iOS 12 is out speaking up let's actually talk about iOS 12 for a second as opposed to most updates which make your iPhone feel slower twelve legitimately does make even older iPhones feel a lot faster I'll be real if my job wasn't to review the latest tech I would not have updated my iPhone 10 to a 10 s it's good but the upgrades are just not worth it on the other hand one reason why you might want to pick up the tennis is the longevity it's really impressive that Apple is still supporting the iPhone 5s after five years and honestly this software support on the iOS side it's one of the major advantages over Android in my opinion if the 10s gets that same level of support it is a serious selling point sure a thousand dollars for a phone is expensive when you break that up over three four or even five years of usable while use that's pretty cool there's also the fact that the updated screen design is the new standard going forward which is a good sign for app supports long story short if you want to pick up a new iPhone today the tennis is a good shot of being able to last quite a while on the other hand not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a new phone sure the tennis is great but there's a lot of other things you can do as $1,000 like pay rent or buy a lot of Subway sandwiches that's a lot of five-dollar footlongs that's 100 of them no wait they're not not only can you pick up a much cheaper Android phones such as the poco phone f1 for a lot less than half the price but there are also other iOS options that can do a decent job of not costing $1,000 such as the iPhone 7 which is now 450 bucks sure it's probably not going to last as long but you're still getting a solid camera really reasonable performance and it costs less than half the price of the 10s one point in favor of the 10s specifically with the Mac's is if you're really into media consumption which odds are if you're watching this video right now you probably are based in early numbers it seems like the 10s is heavily outselling the standard 10s and that's really only for one reason the fact that it's got that bigger display besides that there's actually really no difference between the 10s and the 10s max the 6.5 inch OLED display is about as good as it gets for a smartphone not only is the brightness in the color and especially the contrast terrific but it does support all the fancy new display technologies including HDR 10 and Dolby vision the improved speakers also make a difference now are they louder but they also have better stereo separation and that combined with the screen makes the 10s max an excellent media consumption device honestly the main reason to not buy the iPhone 10s is really simple the iPhone 10 are take everything that's good about the 10s add a wide variety of colors remove the telephoto camera while still keeping the main camera intact and replace the OLED display for an IPS panel and boom you've got yourself an iPhone 10 R which just so happens to be a full $250 cheaper that's a big difference compared to past generations previously Apple would knock about $100 off of the entry-level iPhone but this year you're getting the 10 R with almost the exact same spec but with a major price cut sometimes it's easy to miss is that while the 10 R does have a lower pixel density which is on par with the iPhone 8 but the actual screen size itself is right in between the 10s and the 10s max the 10 R won't be out until late October so I can't give it my full recommendation just yet but on paper it really does look like the full package you just aren't missing much compared to the 10s and that is my recommendation if you really want the best and have the budget for it by all means pick up the 10s it's a great phone for almost everyone else though I really feel like waiting for the 10 R is worth it
