The Definitive iPhone XR Review

2018-10-24
yo guys johnathan here the iPhone 10 R is here in all its color for glory I've used it I've tested it and this is my review so this is the iPhone 10 are in addition to this beautiful beautiful blue it also comes in white black yellow product red and who could forget now one thing I want to get out of the way is something that I felt the second the iPhone 10 our was announced and that's the fact that I think it's just a little overpriced not by a ton it starts out at 749 but I think if Apple like smacked $50 off the price tag it would have gone a long way you could buy one of these beautiful D brand skins that Marvel and Blue was meant to be now I realize 50 bucks isn't a ton of money but I think there's something about knowing that hey even though it's just a dollar under 700 bucks it's still under there whereas was 749 you were rapidly approaching that 800 dollar price tag what's interesting though is you want to bump up the storage on the iPhone 10 are from 64 up to 128 gigabytes it's only 50 bucks but imagine if you drop that down a notch imagine if the 64 gigabyte iPhone 10 are started at $6.99 he then have the 128 gigabyte option coming at 7:49 and that is the BAM nailed it homerun knocked it out of the park give Tim Cook a fist bump or a high-five whatever your thing is this is the phone you should buy that being said though there is a lot of really good with the iPhone 10 are now as you see throughout the video it shares a lot in common with the more expensive iPhone 10s and 10's max next Ronettes gonna talk about that display which I can assure you is not depressing first though we got to take a trip to the schoolhouse because my friends PPI or pixel per inch and screen resolution are two completely different things so because the internet some of you out there may have heard the iPhone 4 yes the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 10 are share the same pixel density of 326 pixels per inch an assumed Wow the 6.1 inch iPhone 10 are in 2018 has the same resolution as the iPhone 4 what the heck is Apple doing fact-check the iPhone 4 bless its tiny little heart has a resolution of 960 by 640 whereas with the iPhone 10 are just a couple more pixels has resolution of 1792 by 828 which gives it approximately eight hundred and sixty nine thousand more pixels now for use to an OLED display you can absolutely see this looks like an LCD panel but with that said and pixels aside what Apple did with this is really impressive it's bright it's accurate the colors are beautiful there is no HDR which is kind of a bummer but again this is $250 cheaper so there are going to be sacrifices the first of which being after the lack of HDR is that bezel which is giant if you compare it to the iPhone 10s and 10's max now to be honest it's not really a huge deal unlike most things when you use it you kind of don't really notice it but being used to DEFCON 10s it was one of the first things that stood out to me so I at least wanted to point it out that aside though what Apple is doing with this LCD and those rounded corners is really unique like nobody is doing this if you haven't yet the virtues that are really fantastic breakdown of how all that tech works and how Apple pulls it off so if you haven't been a definitely check out the video and tell me like Jonathan sent you from there the next omission on the iPhone 10 R is going to be 3d touch I kind of talked about it in my unboxing where Apple may get rid of 3d touch altogether as soon as next year so I'm not sure how big of a deal it is on the flip side you do get a 3d touch like alternative with haptic touch what it is essentially is a long press with haptic feedback that works in two places the lock screen and control center now with the lock screen it is worth noting that you do have to have to wait which is awesome but as far as I'd have to touch you can either quickly activate the flashlight or access the camera from there within control center by long press and you can dive deeper into pretty much every single possible setting from Wi-Fi to the camera to the timer to brightness so it is nice having some sort of alternative now sadly this will not work on the apps on your main home screen so if you're long pressed you just quickly have the option to either delete or move an app just like we're normally used to so that's a bit of a bummer but again I do appreciate the fact that we have at least some sort of alternative from there to address a question that I've seen pop up everywhere which is cool candy colored phone bro but can you even watch 1080p so within the YouTube app you actually do have the option to select 1080p with this being technically 828 P which is more than 720 you're getting a downscale version of 1080p which is definitely sharper from there man just chill for a second how does it feel knowing that candy-colored iPhone that you keep making fun of is faster than pretty much every Android phone out there 3 although the effluent NR is a really fast phone it is worth noting though that you have 3 gigabytes of RAM as opposed to 4 on the 10s but with iOS 12 in that 812 chip it's a smooth fluid buttery experience from day to day use all the way down to gaming from there though design wise I really really love these colors and it's kind of making me think of using this over the iPhone 10's max you don't get stainless steel size but I actually kind of prefer the aluminum because that allows the color matching which complements the phone's beautifully if you're a part of item 10 our launch day your sub box might look like something straight out of Power Rangers thank you Phil but for real though if you guys want to check out the other colors gender had white just Dean head coral Marquez head red the verge head black and I'm sure I'll find one with yellow and link that down below as well so here's a look at the Ephram ten-hour stacked side by side against the iPhone A+ the 10s and the 10s max honestly it's kind of like a three of those did some stuff I'm not really allowed to talk about on camera and out came the iPhone 10 are I'm kind of really sold on the form factor which sits right smack in the middle of the iPhone 10s and 10's max yes you lose the Ola display yes you lose some resolution but with those colors and how many features it does share with the iPhone tennis I'm kind of leaning towards using this phone so with that theme of shirt features on the iPhone 10 are you also get face ID which for me has always worked really well to the point where I don't really ever miss having a fingerprint reader you have true tone display you have stereo speakers which honestly sound just as good as the iPhone 10s and 10's max you've wireless charging you have water resistance although it is worth noting that the iPhone 10 R is ip67 rated not ip68 like the iPhone 10s and 10's max but it is nice knowing that you're not gonna have to stress about getting your nice shiny colored phone a little wet the one interesting element with the iPhone 10 are for sure though is going to be the camera on the back you have a single lens as opposed to the dual setup on the iPhone 10s and 10's max it's actually the exact same wide angle lens found on the 10s and 10's max you're just missing that telephoto lens but the good news is you still do have portrait mode on both the rear and front facing cameras sup guys Tai Lopez here at Hollywood Hills flexing knowledge and my I'm kidding it's not mine I'm actually just showing off the front-facing camera on the iPhone 10 our stereo recording so let me know if you guys think of the quality of the video and audio with a comment down below from there hopping over to the camera samples if there was any doubt about this camera put those away because it performed really well the shot in particular is a really good example of the smart HDR where the background the sky is exposed properly but we still have the foreground looking punchy saturated and really sharp same thing here with mr. pumpkin it's bright it's punchy is saturated but we also retain a ton of detail so if we zoom in we can see that sticker shows up this pumpkin was from pumpkin Pampered farms it's a lot of peas but it looks good when they're hopping over to mr. Tai Lopez's whip kidding I have no idea whose this is but it's a good example again of that smart HDR where the sky is exposed perfectly but we have that really punchy foreground especially with that Carl Conrad orange this shot here is also a really good example of how much detail is retained so if we zoom in we can read the text right off those laces now portrait mode on a phone 10 R is a little different than the iPhone 10s because you're using that singular lens and everything is done through software because that it will unfortunately only work when a person is in and detected in the frame so sorry mr. fire hydrant no portrait shot for you the other interesting thing is because the iPhone 10s and 10's max use the telephoto lens the iPhone 10 R is going to be significantly wider now doesn't mean that you can't get shots like this on the iPhone 10 R I just mean you have to treat it like a prime lens and then move closer to your subject that aside the portrait mode on the iPhone 10 R isn't perfect but more often than not it works really well some people are going to want and need that telephoto lens but honestly for the majority of people out there you're going to be really happy with this single camera what absolutely is awesome is just like that from tennis you also get adjustable aperture on the iPhone 10 R from their hopping over to the front-facing camera before we hop into portrait mode here's just a regular front-facing shot I've kind of talked about it where I still wish the iPhone front-facing camera was a little bit wider that's where I think the Google pixels 3 excels but overall great quality and shout out to Ricardo for saying hi naturally they've got to talk about those portraits selfies which again the iPhone 10 art does a really good job again just like the iPhone 10s and the rear facing camera you also have adjustable aperture on the iPhone 10 our front facing camera so here's an example of no blur all the way to crank that baby wide open now I've talked about it with the iPhone 10 s it's not a beauty filter that's applied to your face book rather it's a noise reduction over the entire image so if you don't have the ideal lighting conditions you're definitely going to see that here as well the good news is like I also mentioned in that video is that it's soft for basis actually Apple is working on the fix to reduce that very soon overall though the cameras on the iPhone 10 are definitely delivers more HDR is awesome again the camera isn't perfect every single time but the majority of the time you are going to be extremely pleased now in an area where I don't think the iPhone can be touched right now and supplies also to that from 10r is video DEFCON 10 art does continuous 4k is 60 frames per second video which is super fun to slow down you can also do 1080p video up to 240 frames per second which is awesome but really even that classic 4k 24 or 30 frames per second with a stabilization without HDR is amazing and here's a montage of some of the best stuff I caught so yeah iPhone 10 our it has a great camera it takes great video it's fast its fluid the speaker sound great yeah you definitely sacrifice a little bit with that LCD panel versus OLED but honestly I think it looks great and really I think this is the iPhone that most people should buy what is probably the secret sauce the underrated feature of the iPhone 10 are though has got to be battery life it is actually better than the iPhone 8 plus which was a monster so yeah you lose a few pixels but overall for what you get and if your about that all day battery life again this is the iPhone you should buy
