Responding to the iPhone XS Max Problems

2018-10-07
yo guys johnathan here today against my better judgment I'm addressing the iPhone 10s problems cue the facepalm for that thumbnail now that's a little bit of a long shot but the one thing I ask is please watch and listening to this video thoroughly before you smash your keyboard if you got my 10s max review I try to be as objective as possible and point out the good and also the things that frustrated me specifically the fact that it's 2018 and Apple does not include a fast-charging solution in the box with the prices they are charging for these iPhones like that's not okay of course from there naturally I got those lovely common saying Jonathan what are you some paid Apple fanboy you shill why aren't you covering Beauty gate charge gate autocorrect gate and the thing is the type review is based off my personal experience I did not personally experience any charging problems with that said though I want to make it super clear that just because I didn't personally experience that doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist and more importantly doesn't mean Apple should be excused Marquez did a fantastic job of explaining the whole gate situation and the big number that stood out to me was last year Apple shipped over 200 million plus iPhones if there was a problem with just 0.01% of those that equated to 21,000 plus I phones that is a lot of upset people out there now the crazier thing about all that is the charge gate issue was actually a security bug with how the iPhone protects that lightning port and Apple addressed that and fixed that in the iOS 12.1 beta now hold your pants Jimmy because I know you're foaming at the mouth waiting to say Jonathan that's BS the average user shouldn't have to install a beta to charge their phone betas aren't stable it's not the average thing to do and I completely agree with you honestly it's very similar to a problem I had last year with the Google pixel to portrait mode was non-existent like it just wasn't on the phone at all and the funny thing is is I essentially got yell reply that same what are you stupid just silo the app idiot clear your cache reset the Preferences reset the phone three times and then count back from 17 it's gonna be okay stop being a moron and the thing is is just like I don't think the average person should do that like imagine explaining to your grandmother oh just sight load the app that's not gonna happen and for you same grandma's aren't gonna rocket pixels - you sir are a liar and have plenty of grammars rocket pixel - it's a great phone point is bugs happen it's not just Apple it's Google it's Samsung it is most companies out there I mean hell Tesla has had some crazy bugs recently where people are driving and the software is restarting as they're driving on the freeway that is scary as hell that is an 85 thousand dollar piece of tech that could potentially endanger someone's life like to me it's a little bit bigger of a deal the thing is though Tesla problems don't get as much clicks as iPhone problems from now we're gonna go to talk about Beauty gates which actually isn't a thing calm down buddy because I know you're yelling at me right now saying you you Apple fanboy you paid Cole Beauty gate is a thing I got a secret for you you're probably gonna get mad but earlier today on Twitter and Instagram I posted this lovely pixel to Porsche selfie and it got an out war of compliments could easily get mistaken for DSLR still the daddy in the camera department looking crispy no wonder there's no make-up effect it managed to include the bumps at the edges of your face caused by the facial hair impressive best portrait mode yet so good hashtag no Beauty gate from there I posted a second picture and got the same reaction it's better that it's not using some crazy high shoulder speed mixed with noise reduction creating that plastic look to people's faces best camera til pixel 3 arrives if you say no you are literally a fanboy bro that was taken on the iPhone 10s max so I just wanted that to be a little bit of a lesson out there don't let a preconceived notion or headline skew your judgment because clearly everyone who thought that that was a pixel automatically assumed that it was much better than the iPhone when in fact that was the same iPhone 10's max that apparently had all the Beauty gate problems with that said though there is something happening with the front-facing camera on the iPhone 10s but it's not beauty mode it's not isolating the skin it's actually noise reduction on the entire image if you haven't yet my guy Rene Ricci who's an amazingly smart guy did a fantastic breakdown an explanation of what exactly is happening with the front-facing camera way more in depth so if you got a minute it's a really great watch link it down below or up here but essentially what's happening here is the front-facing camera is taking multiple shots at multiple exposures and then stitching those together and the aftermath of that is you're going to have to apply noise reduction which creates a smoothing effect over the entire image not just isolating skin tones if you actually watch Marquez's video every example of a front-facing shot that he used if you notice the background on every single one of those isn't blown out or overexposed so it's a bit of a trade off for the most part in every single shot you're getting way better dynamic range Noble and our backgrounds no more exposed images but in certain cases where it struggles with light yeah it's going to really really aggressively pull down that noise reduction and that's where you get that skin smoothing effect so the bad news is yeah because it's not Beauty mode or something you can turn off it is stuck there but the good news is is that its software base and if we've learned anything this year that Apple is listening so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that just pull down a little bit in one of the future iOS 12 updates so that is my take problem suck bug suck you should not have to deal with them companies should be held responsible this is not a giant pass with me for Apple I have plenty of things from them that frustrate me I've addressed that I've voiced that if you don't like the iPhone don't buy it in fact check out the LG v40 thin queue which a lot of people don't seem to care about but it's actually a pretty awesome device or maybe you want some positivity in your life we talked about the Apple watch and how mr. Gregory McFadden lost 100 pounds so check those out and I'll catch you guys later
