thanks to nucleon by Kingston for sponsoring this video it's been almost exactly two months since the iPhone 10 came out and drinking that time I'm using it on and off as my daily driver at least one of the two phones that I'm carrying and my opinions and thoughts on the device have changed a little bit since my initial review so I figured let's revisit the iPhone 10 so the big thing for me in my review I said I was gonna go case free I was gonna stop for Apple care and if I broke it or drop it I was gonna bite the bullet pay the fee and fix it and then I dropped my phone without a case on the carpet and I got a little bit scared so I did put a case on my phone it's just the Apple silicon case in black I still wish I could not have a case on it but I am way too paranoid and I got too many kids in my house to do it I love the way their phone feels but it's certainly fragile when it dropped even on carpet the sides still ended up getting a little bit scratched that was a bit of a bummer the phone is not appear to be as durable as Apple is saying they're claiming it's the strongest glass ever on a phone but there is no way I am going to test that one of the things about the device that seems to have gotten worse over time it's ever great to begin with what's battery life in fact in the office here we have seven different iPhones and for the people up to the experience the same thing battery life is not great on the iPhone 10 I don't know I don't want to pile on apples batteries just for going on right now but it seems that it's worse than when I initially start testing the device generally my usage on any iPhone or any thought I can get through a full day without any problem with my iPhone 10 generally I'm at 20% or lower by end of the day and sometimes I have to plan on charging to get through it I'm not even doing crazy usage the battery life has not been outstanding with the iPhone 10 I've also noticed some fit and finishes use with the iPhone this might be unique to mine what am i screws on the bottom for example isn't fully screwed and it's kind of rough when I touch it something I've never experienced any other Apple devices so maybe it's small issue at the iPhone 10 maybe it's just mine but little things like that certainly you notice as you use the phone more and more well if I launched I had two big concerns the first was that not being really annoying in fact I don't notice it anymore at all I was a bit of annoying when I first started watching full screen video when I first are testing the device the more I use it honestly I don't notice it at all I don't think you will either that something that's holding you back from buying the iPhone I wouldn't worry about it and then face ID so we did a lot of tests on it and faced ideas works pretty well actually it's worked pretty well in almost all situations for me my wife has thick sunglasses and she has an iPhone 10 it won't work through her sunglasses so it works as advertised for a lot of people but I wish there are some redundancies look at what Samsung has with their galaxy line got iris scanning got face scanning you got a fingerprint sensor I wish there was something like that that worked have different options and layers to sort of make your phone unlock and it's a mind-boggling skid if you're wearing an Apple watch it won't automatically let you know your phone is safe to be unlocked until has to see your face or even something other things that Android has if you're on a Wi-Fi network that you label that secure it'll unlock or if you want to use geolocation when a particular area phone should unlock I wish those things were baked in to iOS to give you some sort of redundancy to unlock your phone if you're laying in bed on the side for example it's not going to see your face it's not a giant issue and face ideas work as well as I could have expected but I'd like to have some sort of other option at least a face ID wasn't working a particular situation one opinion that hasn't changed is the camera the rear cameras on these things are absolute incredible portrait mode is great portrait lighting has actually improved since my initial testing it's still not great but the camera itself the pictures look incredible in any situation whether it's low-light whether it's normal light whether it's almost in the dark the pictures here look absolutely beautiful one thing that was surprising to me when I bought the phone I thought I needed the bigger store now I figured I have a giant photo library it's like 16 gigs or something but for the first time in a while I set my iPhone 10 out from scratch and apples got a lot of new file systems here new file management pictures are stored in the cloud with this new phone setup from scratch I am using less than 20 gigs of storage they're looking to maybe save some money from already a really expensive phone I think the smaller storage opt is gonna be fine for a lot of people if you're worried about storage on your previous device try setting it up from scratch might be really surprised how much space do you actually have on your phone this next one's kind of weird I love wireless charging up and hoping wireless charging was gonna come to Apple for a while and assume you guys don't care about it but for me it's a convenience that I really like about the phone Apple's got an issue with the wireless charging whenever I wirelessly charged my phone at night I turn it off so I put it on the charger let it start charging and then without moving it I'll turn the phone off and usually almost everything there any other phone I've tested will charge overnight I'll take it off I'll turn it on and it's fully juiced up the iPhone will turn on at some point during the night no matter what and it's not just my phone happens to my wife's phone as well we test it here in the office we've tested with four different wireless chargers and for some reason at some points the phone will turn back on which is really annoying I like to turn my phone off and I take notifications throughout the entire night I can obviously put it into nighttime mode or Do Not Disturb but I've opted now just to plug my phone in I'll even use wireless charging so for me that's been a bummer I don't like that my phone turns on at night it might not matter for you but that's something that's really been an issue at least personally a lot of stuff was new at the iPhone 10 when the big ones was gestures and there was a definitely own learning curve getting used to it but now two months in I feel really used to the new gestures and they feel like second nature to me in fact I went back he's an older iPhone and I felt weird double tapping the home button so I kind of gotten very used to it it's a really elegant way to use the phone and to navigate around it so if you're worried about the gestures don't this video wouldn't be possible without nuclear this is where those product we've actually been using a ton in the office it's super helpful if using one of the new MacBook or MacBook Pros and to add seven extra ports including two USB a 2 USB seaports SD card reader and way more it was important to use all the ports at once and actually the color matches with the Mac books and IMAX that support USB type-c it's an awesome accessories you've got one those laptops I definitely pick one up if you want to learn more link to it down below so overall I've really enjoyed the iPhone 10 I loved a new screen I wish a battery life lasted longer but minor quibbles aside and certainly the gigantic price point aside it's been a really good phone it's really the best iPhone Apple's ever made as you'd expect from the most recent iPhone Apple has ever made if your experience has changed would you buy it when the phone came out let us know down below you're holding out from my going forever reason again let us know and of course subscribe hit that little next to it so you notified when new videos are coming up with a lot more iPhone coverage coming up and more versus videos coming hope you guys enjoyed until next time i'm john r Ettinger from TechnoBuffalo
