The iPhone X is back, but is it worth the money?

2019-02-07
we have a fresh batch of iPhone 11 rumors the FaceTime saga continues and the iPhone 10 is back from the dead we're going to get to all of this and more on this week's apple core first up your rumor roundup it's only February and we're already starting to get a pretty good sense of what to expect in the 2019 iPhones or I guess we'll call them the iPhones eleven just for continuity sake so rumors point at a very similar design to last year's lineup I shown on these on leaked renders published in compare Russia with a smaller notch on the front a switch to a USB C port and that three camera array on the back potentially reserved for the price of your plus model but until now we weren't exactly sure what that third camera was going to be used for and this week it seems we got a few answers from Bloomberg their report says that Apple is working on a laser powered longer range 3d camera system for augmented reality with improved mapping capabilities of up to 15 feet so to put this in perspective the current true depth array on the front of the phone actually only goes up to 50 centimeters according to the report the catch it won't be ready until 2020 so the third lens on this year's iPhone would be used to capture a wider field of view wha-wha further proof that this year's iPhones are kind of shaping up to be a wash we'll see now the report also mentions a new dark mode in the works for the iPhone similar to what Apple rolled out for its computers with Mac OS these renders from phone arena show us what that could look like on iOS which could potentially look really good on those solid black bullet screens of the newer iPhone models this feature would likely come with the update to iOS 13 in September though so we'll have to wait a while with the announcement coming at Apple's Developers Conference in June also rumored to be coming in iOS 13 230 new emojis because apparently we've all just given up on writing and need an emoji for every single word in the dictionary some notable additions according to the Unicode consortium which approves all of these new emojis include better representation of people with disabilities with a wheelchair option a probing cane also mixed race and mixed gender couples and some pretty essential members of the animal kingdom like the sloth flamingos and a skunk shoutout to emoji pedia for making all these designs and make sure to check out their video if you want to see the full lineup once you're done here and wait sadly we're not done with the emoji news because if you have an iPhone 10 tennis or 10 R you'll soon be getting four new an emoji characters to play around with the public beta of iOS 12.2 gave us a preview of this adorable giraffe shark owl and warthog in case you need another excuse to make weird faces at your phone but seriously enough with the emoji talk the iPhone 10 is finally making its big comeback on the Apple Store well sort of Apple removed all traces of its 10th anniversary iPhone last year presumably to prevent from cannibalizing its own sales but now it's back and Apple is selling a very limited number of refurbished iPhone tens on its site so if you still want one you got to act quick although honestly I'm not sure if it's really worth it I'm gonna break down the numbers so that you can decide so try and bear with me over here an unlocked iPhone 10 with 64 gigabytes of storage retails for 769 dollars that's $20 more than the 64 gigabyte iPhone 10 are and the 256 model in the exact same price as the equivalent iPhone 10 are even though this one is the newer model now three possible reasons why you may choose the older 10 over the newer 10 our would be that oled screen the dual camera and that smaller size if that 10 R feels too big for you next up an update on Apple's FaceTime bug which apparently refuses to go away since the news broke last week Apple has issued a patch to the problem with the recent release of iOS 12.1 point 4 and has since issued an apology to its customers who were affected and all who are concerned about this security issue and that the company is committed to continuing to earn the trust Apple customers place in them so this is great but people are just not letting this one go last week New York City's Attorney General announced she would be opening up a formal investigation to find out why Apple didn't give users a heads up about the security flaw and what took the company so long to address the issue and then this week Apple's getting even more heat from Congress congressional lawmakers sent a letter to Tim Cook requesting more information about the flaw to understand the extent to which a compromised users security now I want to hear you guys chime in has this made you lose trust in Apple or will you continue to be using Apple products you know the drill tweet me or comment below you guys had really good opinions about whether or not Apple should compensate the teen who found the bug in the first place so thanks so much for sending those in the consensus among most of you seems to be a resounding yes which might actually happen according to a CNBC interview with the Thompson family a high-level Apple exec went out to meet with them in Arizona to thank them and mentioned he may be eligible for the bug bounty program which offers cash rewards of up to $200,000 needless to say the kid would have more than enough money to buy himself that iPhone 10 air pods and macbook he'd been eyeing that's it for our show today but don't forget to like this video and subscribe to our channel
