hey guys this is austin and welcome to launch of the iPhone 10s and the 10s max this is gonna be a fun one so of course not only do we have the S model update to the standard iPhone 10 but we also have the much larger max edition and I think a lot of people were kind of expecting this when the iPhone 10 first came out but what you're getting here is something that is much closer to the iPhone 7 plus 8 plus and size open this guy up and what we're going to find is well probably the exact same thing as you find with every iPhone since the dawn of time some paperwork with our obligatory Apple stickers and the max so there's actually first time I've held the max it's big it's pretty big on top of having a max edition available there's also a new gold color for the 10s as well as the 10s max I'm usually not a fan of gold I had to say though this doesn't look so bad a little bit more of a what would you call this like a taupe I call like a band-aid color taupe it's like you know brownish like like like beige even though it's a much larger phone you know what else we're gonna find in the box these same 5 watt charger that they've been shipping since 2007 yes my friends even though you've got a massive battery and a huge display it's still going to take you like what two three hours to charge the phone for real it's totally ridiculous that they ship such a tiny cheap adapter in the box when they actually sell other alternatives which will charge the iPhone much faster if you want to shell out $50 for the USBC adapter and another 20 for the USBC to lightning cable you can get your phone charged much much quicker but instead they put this in the box so yeah what I like to see on my thousand dollar plus phone the 10s also does come with Apple earpods so as a surprise to no one there's no headphone jack here instead it does take advantage of lightning I don't know why that flop open like that what you're not going to find here is a headphone jack adapter yes my friends the thing that's been included on I post last couple years that's 35 cent part to manufacture a little adapter that will make your headphones work on your iPhone not including the box that's gonna run you know the 20 bucks or is it 15 is it 10 it's still $10 now they should include it I don't mind the idea that they are still shipping a lightning cable with USB a but I mean this is an expensive phone why are they cutting out things why are they removing things when they should be making it better if we open up the standard 10s we're going to find is iPhone that is very very similar to the 10 when I'm mostly curious about though is the actual size difference put the tenets side-by-side with the max and you do get a much much larger display whereas this has a 5 point 8 inch panel you're getting a full six and a half inches do you remember the days where a 7 inch phone was called a tablet difference min booth the original iPhone versus the max I mean that's that's ridiculous but you know what it kind of works I feel like everyone's kind of gotten on board with a large phone train and a big reason we're here is because of the good old galaxy note even though we have such a larger display the actual footprint of the iPhone 10's max isn't really all that much larger than say an iPhone 6 plus 7 plus what have you it is going to be a little bit shorter than the note but it's not as crazy as I was anticipating it to be when it comes to telling the iPhone 10 apart from the 10s they're very similar except for one major difference if you look on the bottom of the phone where the 10 is nicely symmetrical with the speaker and the microphones the 10s has a little bit of an antenna line which sort of cuts that short the main reason for this is that it should give you better reception I'm actually going to test that a little bit later supposedly we're going to be getting more antennas for better Wi-Fi as well as LTE reception but it looks a little uh a little ugly not sure how this past Johnny I've and the boys there's also a slight difference in the size of the camera bump so to illustrate this I have a 10 s Max and a 10 s max case you can see there goes pretty much fully around the camera but if you'd put an iPhone 10 and a 10 s case you can see it's going to be a little bit misshapen specifically on the bottom it doesn't quite line up most iPhone 10 cases should work with a 10 s and vice versa but you might want to keep an eye on that the camera bump is going to be just a little bit bigger one of the big upgrades this year is the a12 Bionic chip so they've claimed some pretty decent performance improvements but the first thing I've noticed as soon as I open up Geekbench is we have more memory before we had three gigs of RAM on the iPhone 10 but this year we have four gigs on both the 10s as well as the Macs interesting so whereas the 10 is a little bit slower than the 10s and as well as the 10s it's by a pretty small difference the single core is a little bit higher but the multi-core is actually very similar the days of seeing 50% CPU performance every year might just be over although to be fair these are still like the fastest phones I've ever tested so yeah one of the bigger upgrades this year is with the camera so the main shooter has been upgraded on both the 10s as well as the Mac's with a larger sensor and it also has smart HDR functionality there's a big Wow look at the difference in range so with the 10s we're actually getting all of the detail on your face whereas the max is blowing out not only Matt's place in the background but also like stuff like your cheek the portrait mode also does look a fair bit better so not only do we have that better dynamic range but we're also seeing it's a little bit more accurate as far as cutting people out of the photo and the ability to adjust the depth of field after the fact is really nice not perfect definitely has some more work to do but it does look a lot more natural than the ten as well as the eight plus so is the iPhone 10s max worth it where you have to stay tuned my friends because we're going to be doing an entire video all about that make sure to subscribe
