2018-10-18
hey there everyone Bridget Carey here I am in New York City on this chilly day where Apple invited us to come play around with the iPhone 10 our before it goes on sale so let's check it out I can't help but get excited when I see all of the colors I mean look how bright and happy they are you got a blue a coral a yellow man I guess I'm feeling the coral today you know it's kind of my jam I guess going on right now but I just love it when I see wish more gadgets came in colors honestly there's also white and black you know if you don't want a color and there's also hot product red so it's the same kind of shade I guess have red that you've seen in other iPhones but you know what I want to play with the color ones because that's more fun it's got possessed so with the 10r you're not getting those metallic colors like the gold silver space grey but you know what candy colors are kind of fun and maybe you need a little fun in your life it's all I'm saying okay all right let's get a closer look here at this lovely little blue I like how they really took the aluminum on the side and matched it with the blue on this glass backing so that's a fun little effect there kind of looks pretty sleek so it's like a metallic aluminum blue now in your other like iPhone tennis models it's not aluminum it's steel but you know it still has a pretty good feel about it now the screen is gonna be different than you have in the other new models with the tennis because those are Oh loads the screen on the front that's LCD it feels like my iphone time it doesn't feel much different in terms of response time it's very quick the 10r might have a little bit more of a barrier like a bezel showing then say something like last year's I found 10 it's just a little just so slight though but look this is even bigger ever so slightly than the iPhone 10 this one's mine you know what let's have a little bit of an iPhone party let's look at some of the sizes so we could see where this lines up I've got a few of my iPhone friends along ok so this is the 8 and the 8 plus I think if you're upgrading to the iPhone 10 are you're probably in the 8 zone or older but if you're curious this is the iPhone 10 this is my phone this is the 10 are and this is the 10s max so these are the two new ones this year and you can see the iPhone 10 are just kind of fits in that little sweet spot like the little Goldilocks of all the newer phones you know just not too big not too small so it just kind of looks happy and right so on top here you're getting the same true depth camera as was in the iPhone 10 or the newer iPhone 10s but on the back now that's where there's something a little different the new phones all have two cameras this one has one but you're still gonna get some of the same really cool effects like portrait mode so let's take a few in selfie mode you're gonna get a lot of cool effects you can do portrait mode and there I just took a portrait and I'm in edit mode able to change the depth in real time so I can make it really clear in the background oh I made it all blurry there so you're also going to be able to get some cool lighting effects right here you can change one studio light contour light stage light as you may be getting with last year's model but you know what if you're upgrading to the iPhone 10 art you probably don't have last year's model you probably have something like the 8 or the 7 and you're really thinking about having that extra new experience this is where you're gonna get that and what's cool is that you can edit a photo I'm so goofy in that photo but you know what that's what I do he just change the background real-time and then go back and change it again same with the lighting which is pretty cool let's see how it looks with the back camera I'm ready for my close-up oh I am such a nerd but here you can see even with the back camera we have one camera on the back but we get to do all the cool effects like having to change the depth the lighting you get about three lighting choices contour studio and natural so why would you get a ten are when there's a 10 s out there for one it's cheaper it starts at about seven hundred and fifty dollars so you're not paint a thousand dollars for phony or getting a lot of the same features in fact most of the features that matter all the cool camera effects so you could think of it as kind of like a tennis for less one thing you're not getting is 3d touch instead you're gonna have feel like this little haptic feedback if you want to use with the camera shortcut on the front but honestly I'm not gonna miss that because I don't really use 3d touch but you just press any feel a little vibration they call it half dick feedback so that feels this more or less the same as you get any in the other models it is going on sale Friday October 19th and it hits stores on the 26th so we'll have to see more later when it comes out
