this is a day I've been looking forward to for two and a half years the first iPhone I bought I had never seen anything like it before I mean I remember when Steve Jobs took the iPhone turned it and we saw coverflow for the first time that was unbelievable to see men yell to pinch-to-zoom in photos was awesome and typing on a keyboard that was just on glass something that was completely new I bought the first iPhone even though I couldn't afford it at the time because I loved technology at the time that was the most cutting-edge technology that felt like I was holding the future in my hands it's hard to believe the iPhone 10's has been out for six months it's pretty much halfway through its lifecycle before Apple replaces it with whatever is next during that time I've reviewed a lot of different phones and iPhone in love with some of those devices that I've tested but in between those review periods I find myself always coming back to the iPhone before we continue at the video I want to thank you guys for watching hopefully you've seen a change in the videos the past month we've had a lot of fun making them there's plenty more coming your way so be sure to subscribe int that little Bell so you can notify when new videos are out and I want to give a big thank you to this video sponsor Robo rock so you've seen robot vacuums before but if you've seen robot vacuums with lasers on their heads that's what the Robo Rock s5 has it's gonna use lasers to map your house so that it'll always get every area clean it's got usual stuff you'd expect got sensors so it's not gonna like fall off the stairs but it does more than just suck things up it's also got a mop head on it so it can mop your whole floor as well pairing is super easy if you're using an Android phone actually just put the phone right on it to get it to pair via NFC as you can do with most things nowadays you can use an app it's got the my home app but you fully control the vacuum via your phone there's like an area that you got especially dirty it's really awesome and it has the best sucking power that I have ever seen in a robot vacuum so somebody who's not home that often one of the coolest features you couldn't schedule it at a certain time of day or several times a day to go out and just vacuum her house on its own then it'll come back to the charger when it's ready for interested in checking out or even picking up the Robo Rock s5 for yourself we'll link to it down below and again a big THANK YOU to Robo rock for sponsoring this video so the 10s in this case the 10s max isn't that different than the 10 that came before but you get some nice improvements the big one is obviously the larger screen here but then the general s stuff I usually get get a faster processor and better camera all that comes together into a package that makes for in a slightly better experience what you had with the last gen but most importantly with these changes now six months later they're still noticeable the best 10s features actually the 10s max feature the fact that I can get a bigger screen and also have better battery life to go along with it I've always liked big screen phones and I will probably always go with the biggest screen iPhone that I can get my eyes kind of got used to the original retina displays which I don't think we're the best screens but since they went to the 10 and out of 10s and the 10s max the screens are awesome it looks incredible colors look vibrant the blacks look black you get the best of OLED I think here and this is definitely the best screen the apples ever put on a phone I like to think I take pictures pretty much every day and they're usually impromptu pictures generally it's the only camera that I've got with me so probably my favorite 10s feature is the camera every picture I take look some version of good you can ask anybody who knows me I generally have my head down and I'm staring at my phone so good battery life is really important I've been able to get great battery life ahead of the 10s max I charge my phone every night so long as I can get through a full day that's important so as much as I wanted iOS 12 to be the big design change it was definitely more incremental but the few things that I really love in it I think that probably the biggest one though is just overall stability sort of fixing some the problems iOS 11 had 12 has been really stable almost from the get-go all that is fine the iPhone 10s is a good phone but it takes more than just a good phone to get me to keep coming back nothing in the phone marketplace is perfect but the iPhone 10s pretty much checks every box that's at least important to me Apple's always been known for certain things and it's kind of like the Trinity of the phone world you've got amazing hardware really solid cameras and of course iOS when I pick up an iPhone I know maybe it's Apple's Johnny I've voiced over brainwashing but I feel like I'm holding something premium like I can feel the quality in it and certainly that quality comes at a premium but always know that I'm not gonna find anything else it really comes close to how that phone feels in the hand may subconsciously it's part of the reason that you know I like the iPhone iOS itself is the biggest reason that I keep coming back and it's because I can't get that experience anywhere else and it's three main things in iOS that keeps me coming back to the iPhone first its iMessage being able to have group threads get receipts I love having iMessage the second thing is airdrop and the biggest one probably right now is Apple photos and my 90 year old grandparents using an iPhone SD and I have a shared gallery I share pictures of my family my grandparents see those pictures and they respond almost every single one it's kind of cute they think I'm sending them just to them but I'm not going to teach them how to use Google photos they barely can use the phone as is the fact that my grandparents can see pictures of my kids as they're growing up things are happening on a daily basis and they get that kind of intimate connection with my family is reason that I would come back to do iOS one of the reasons people knock the iPhone is it so simplistic but the simplicity I think is part of its elegance too you don't really have to think that much about what you're doing the phone kind of works very intuitively and that's one of the biggest reasons that I generally recommend an iPhone to somebody who doesn't have an OS Allegiance so if you take all of these features on their own there are ways to duplicate it on other operating systems but you put them all together let's restart to see sort of the elegance of what the iPhone offers and I'm not alone here howdy there folks I'm Quinn of snazzy labs hey guys lost it one of the things I really love about iPhone is that it just works the reason I use an iPhone is pretty basic right I mean first of all I do prefer iOS over Android I mean it's just a straight-up like my own personal opinion the default settings are fantastic third-party software works amazingly well I couldn't even tell you the last time I rebooted my iPhone because something went wrong apps just still even all these years later do feel a little bit better on iOS and also things like iMessage are even though there are ways to get around it now still so much easier to use when you have a Mac you have an iPad you have an iPhone it's just the standard Apple ecosystem stuff right I loved it seamlessly between my Mac my iPhone and my iOS devices I can send text messages and sync photos and send files it's just a really really great platform is it that exciting no gonna do the latest and greatest no but it does everything I need to do really well and all the time so I know what you're thinking John there's plenty wrong with the iPhone and to you I say yeah you're right Apple is not quick to make changes and you can see it by what the Android flagships are offering you've got things like reversible wireless charging which you charge other things from your phone that's really nice to have I mean my wish list would be USB sees when we have to carry one cable when I'm traveling that would be awesome to have and I think really what the next iPhone needs is on the operating system side iowa's 13 needs to bring some visual changes need to bring some more customization options I keep harping on this the biggest nock though on the iPhone 10's generation is the obscene pricing that Apple has going on I don't care how they let you finance it or what incentives carriers are offering the pricing on the iPhone is insane and they are pricing the 10s making it seem like an elite phone it's a hard phone to afford for anybody it's a lot of money to spend on something there's gonna be a better version of in 12 months any way you look at it whether you upgrade your phone every three months six months 12 months or every three the iPhone 10's Tenace max are too expensive there's been over 20 different versions the iPhone between pluses and Max SES and C's and there's been a lot of issues in a lot of those generations things like being able to hold the phone wrong software bugs security concerns phones that are bending these have not been perfect devices out of the game every time but assuming you know you're you're holding it right you know what you're getting with an iPhone and that's to say you know what iOS is going to give you get a few more customization options each year it gets a little bit faster but for the most part the experience has been the same I think more importantly consistent and there's beauty in that consistency and that keeps me coming back to the iPhone generation after generation and that's not to say there aren't good options from other operating systems but I like that consistency I like what Apple brings to the table and it keeps me coming back
