this is a phone we've been dreaming about for a long time but the reality of this is I love this oh my gosh oh my gosh now unlocking it is as easy as looking at it and swiping up and you know let's try that again oh-ho-ho let's uh go to back up here what's going on Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple bite for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple you know what it is it's our reactions to Apple's iPhone X I mean iPhone 10 event like you know you've done the same thing I get why they're calling it the 10 but X is so much better in fact this guy Jayesh on Twitter explained it for me X is 10 in roman numbers that's why it's calls iPhone X X for 10 Wow I had no idea now there's so much to talk about so hold on to your butt's we'll start small and then build up to the iPhone 10 see I said it right now first up the Apple watch three three and all its LTE glory it's one of the winners of the show just because they finally brought LTE to the table to make calls without your phone it will cost an extra $10 a month to add it to your current data plan AT&T Verizon and t-mobile have confirmed that pricing here in the u.s. Apple said the series 3 has an all-day battery life of 18 hours on this series 3 LTE model that 18 hour number includes 4 hours of an LTE connection and 14 hours of a connection to an iPhone over Bluetooth but if you think you're gonna be making calls with it throughout the day like over LTE think again you'll get one hour of talktime 60 minute O's so this won't be your primary calling device and if you're taking it out for a workout you'll get 10 hours without any connectivity 5 hours with just GPS and 4 hours with GPS and LTE now pre-orders are this Friday the 15th I'll be there on my pajamas and the new series three ships out on the okay the Apple TV 4k was a solid upgrade but it wasn't a standout for me 4k HDR support and a new black background theme they just did what they had to do but did you notice how Eddy Cue came on stage like did he just bless up after he splashed a three from downtown way up I feel blessed right back at you Eddy now the new live sports edition is cool but I got to give props to Apple for striking a deal with movie studios to price 4k movies at the same $19.99 as new releases plus upgrading my current purchases to 4k as well that's a good Apple yeah like I really didn't know if they could get it done now there's a new updated Siri remote that removes a physical button for a touch button with a white circle around it to make it more prominent but it just looks at a place like who decide that why and the new Apple TV 4k with the new remote is gonna be 179 pre-order on the 15th and available on the 22nd all right let's talk phones like iPhone 10 is going to be a beast for the record I will be getting one if I get through that pre-order but you might be captivated by its OLED screen I thought the most impressive thing about this phone are all the chips and custom silicon that are packed inside starting with its heart the a11 Bionic like really Apple you had to add Bionic to that now that screen looks great but Apple tends to get ahead of themselves going with the named super Retina display like here's what Phil had to say about it it's 458 pixels per inch now this is the highest resolution in pixel density ever in an iphone the super Retina display uses OLED technology this is the first OLED display great enough to be in an iPhone se what Phil like really the first OLED display great enough to be in an iPhone because the last time I checked the galaxy s 8 has an OLED screen with 570 pixels per inch density the si+ has a 529 and the note 8 is at 521 and guess who produces and supplies your OLED screens for you Samsung ok but how can any of you ignore the notch like I know the kool-aid is good at an Levent but that notch looks horrible like I was hoping the leaks were preview and Apple would just smooth it out and take advantage of the deep blacks of the OLED screen to make a consistent bar at the top but nope you get the notch on the home screen when you're looking at photos then knotch and how about videos the knotch and some of you might say it's just a notch who cares but Steve Jobs and Apple showed us what great design and elegance in a gadget was all about you know what I'm sorry but that's not my iPhone and you know we're all just asking for rounded corners to watch our videos as well just the way they were intended to be viewed like this short clip from the Brody Jonathan Morrison shows that you can get black bars on both sides but you'll have to double tap like who wants to do that extra step just to watch video without the notch come on it's a no-brainer and that's a bad apple app well all you have to do was put a bar across the top and maybe you'll do that eventually maybe developers will do that for their own apps or we'll just have to wait for it on the next iPhone you know what I'm calling it right now it will be the world's most interesting phone the iPhone dos a keys all right face ID still remains to be seen how good it's going to be day to day the technology is pretty amazing this ain't your mama's iris Kenny and it's so much more when you look at your phone it'll shoot thousands of lasers straight into your pores then it sucks out your soul how much like a Dementor okay that's not how it does it but you have to check out that iPhone experiment it's gold unlike the third iPhone 10 color we did not get now the tech will get faster but there's no way it's faster to hold it up around your face and then swipe up compared to the current touch ID speed right now is it more accurate sure the chances of someone else's face unlocking your phone is one in a million compared to touch IDs one in 50,000 but it's still going to be 100% accurate when someone else holds it up to your face so you better clear up your DMS and messages on the cloud before you get that iPhone X the verge showed that face ID also won't work when your eyes are closed in this clip at the event but once you open them it will unlock so you know what you might be okay while you're sleeping so how does it all do this well that's courtesy of their a11 Bionic neural engine seriously Apple who is naming these things these days that's terrible and don't get me started on the wireless pad named airpower like it doesn't even charge your devices over the air it looks like a maxi pad you know what that's a bad apple all right now just to be clear that epicfail on stage are in the keynote it wasn't because face ID failed it actually prompted Craig with a message your passcode is required to enable face ID that's the same prompt you get after your phone is restarted or after hours have passed without authenticating it through the lock screen so face ID still works just it's not as fast as touch ID and also there's this the kitty cat is so expressive and ferocious it's a happy puppy check out the physics in the ears take me to your leader wait a minute Craig I am your leader plus his impression of the Ultimate Warrior yeah he must be a fan of the show now an emojis are fun I'm not gonna lie about that but I also think it's kind of idiotic that out of every feature they spent the most time on an emojis that are exclusive to the iPhone 10 like they didn't talk about Bluetooth 5.0 or USB see quick charging as much as they did and emojis and we know there will be people who get the $1,000 iPhone 10 just so they can use an emojis like my buddy Mike Wang so really is it worth it to get the iPhone 10 that starts at $9.99 with its OLED screen face ID and ant emojis or getting the 8 plus that still has touch ID it still has almost all the same amazing rear camera features that the 10 does so here let's get some perspective let's break the pricing of an iPhone 10 in the u.s. down and it'll be a lot more in other countries so the starting iPhone 10 with 60 40 gigs of storage is $9.99 if you want Apple care coverage and I always do its bumped up for the 10 and is now $1.99 if you want to take advantage of its USB see fast charging the cheapest Apple USBC powered after is $49 and the shorter one meter USB see the lightning cable is 25 bucks so before tax if you want all the bells and whistles for the entry-level iPhone 10 you're looking at one thousand two hundred and seventy two dollars that's almost $1,400 after tax and you know what it's time to make a trip to Portland they don't got tax there and this is just the pricing in the US now I don't judge how anyone spends their money if it's worth it to you it's worth it to our phones were the center of our digital life even more than our computers but after all this the iPhone eight will still most likely be the top seller of this batch and Apple will be just fine with that because they're still going to be selling a whole bunch of phones so start saving up for the ten pre-orders are on October the 27th and they start shipping on November the third the eight and eight plus critters are this Friday the 15th and available on the 22nd all right that's gonna do it
