your guys johnathan here welcome to my review of the iPhone at 10 s max so this review will primarily be focused on the 10s max reviews for exactly a week as the court in this video everything for the most part will apply to the 10s but if want to see a more in-depth comparison in side-by-side look at those two I covered that pretty thoroughly on my unboxing video which you can check out up here or down below or there's also a chance to win your very own iPhone 10s or 10s max your choice wrapped in is beautiful and I'm gonna pause for a second so you can appreciate this in all its glory D brand skin now to preface this video for the most part I try to find a positive and fun in tech because we seem to live in this super toxic world where everyone just wants to hate on everything with that said though I also want to present this as balanced as possible so along with the good I also want to point out the bad starting with the fact that is 2018 Tim Cook Timothy Tim bow the fact that there is not a fast charging option in the box let's talk about it Apple does a lot of really good things but oftentimes I think it gets negated or overlooked because people have this mindset that Apple's trying to nickel and dime will rip them off and it's hard to argue with that you are a trillion dollar company so go the extra mile include a fast charging solution in the box and it's gonna make people feel nice warm and fuzzy inside especially when they are paying upwards of fifteen hundred dollars for a smartphone now for you guys watching there are two major points I want to get across one this is an S upgrade so yeah it's going to look very similar to last year's iPhone and two I read a comment a line saying that Apple did not make the iPhone 10s for those that own an iPhone 10 and I think that hit the nail on the head so last week if you walked into the Apple Store on one of the pick of knife 110 it would cost this much fast forward to this Friday if you wanted to grab an iPhone 10s it would cost exactly the same so we didn't know an iPhone 10 or you're coming from a 7 or 7 plus or anything prior to that and you could pay the exact same price and get a better phone now that doesn't negate the stupid stuff like the lack of fast charger in the box the fact that you can't control camera settings within the app the fact that you can't see your battery percentage at a quick glance without going to control center but with that said the iPhone 10s and 10's max does make a really sought upgrade for most people not iPhone 10 owners so now that we got that dance out the way let's talk about the phone so the phone yeah again it's an S upgrade so it's going to look very similar to that from 10 and this year of course we do have that fancy new gold color which my opinion out of the three sorry marques I think looks the best and for that one guy out there I'm gonna wait for you I know you're drooling chomping at the bit waiting to say but that speaker grille it's not symmetrical yeah that is technically different and also amongst the dumb things I'm not sure why Apple did that they're usually all about symmetry and that just doesn't look that good actually breaking news Gloria Borger pew news the iPhone 10s camera is slightly different so those iPhone 10 cases won't work damn it Tim back to the phone you got a stainless steel frame that complements the glass very well speaking of that glass wireless charging it's faster this year again not a reason to go upgrade and sell your iPhone 10 but it's welcome also also speaking of glass I'm not sure if I'm crazy this year but it seems less slippery English is fine regardless though even though I'm using the large tennis max I found myself not accidentally almost dropping the thing like every six seconds now as my guide eight TV would say the iPhone 10's max is a thick boy and thick boys have thick screens this is a 6.5 inch super retina HD OLED display and fancy Apple talk aside you got a resolution of 2688 by 1242 so that way when your Android friends say bro what you know about that 1440p display cuz at 12:42 p action pixels aside though it is a really nice display honestly I was a little apprehensive going up to the 10s max I've always thought at a 5.8 inch iPhone 10 or in this case 10s form-factor was the perfect size but I gotta admit the extra screen real estate is nice unfortunately though that notch is still there and what's interesting is last year Apple's seemed to embrace it with their marketing and this year that kind of pulled it backwards and reverted probably because everyone and their mother copied it on smartphones this year but the gun as far as to try and hide it with this fancy pants live wallpaper that is exclusive to the iPhone 10s and 10's Mac so if you were hoping for a notch reduction that did not happen this year I would bank on that happening next year now a new thing on there from tennis and tennis max is a wider stereo sound they're still using the earpiece to kind of get that but there is a noticeable difference now I am reviewing tennis max but because I know if I compare the 10s max against the 10 someone's can say yo that's a bigger foam Pro it's gonna give a bigger sound what you doing so for the sake of this test I will use the iPhone 10s stack side by side against the iPhone 10 now I get it that's totally hard to portray through video that was recorded in stereo so hopefully could hear a little bit of that difference I will say it's noticeable but again it's not like crazy better than the iPhone 10 and again Apple did not make the iPhone 10s for those that own the iPhone 10 it's gonna sound a hell of a lot better than your iPhone 7 or 7 plus or maybe you got a poco phone and didn't really like it come at me bro I'm sorry now something I don't like with the display see what we're doing here is I don't think Apple is taking full advantage of the screen real estate on the 10s max what they do with the iPad pro and iOS 12 is awesome and I wish they would take a thing or two from that and bring that over to the 10s max yes certain applications take advantage of landscape but it's limited and again you just really aren't getting the most out of that giant display with that said though after using the 10 s max for about a week now going back to the - 10 s or 10 I feel like Drax and I'm using a baby phone shifting gears going back to the iPad pro if you watch front page tech on a daily and you live breathe and die by those rumors one thing that we heard was the iPad pro is going to incorporate USBC and unfortunately that didn't happen on this year's iPhone for better or for worse we're stuck with that light and important if your hopes were up that Apple maybe might change that one day bring those suckers down because if anything Apple is just gonna shove that port all together on a body bag and throw it in the ocean because they want everything Wireless thanked hurrying Jesus know that that day is not today because that would be one more thing people would be freaking out in the comments over now the inside is Apple's a 12 Bionic chip which is actually the same across the iPhone 10 s and 10 R as well this is a 6 core CPU to high performance cores paired with four low power high efficiency cores now one thing I want to address if you just looked at Geekbench which you absolutely shouldn't do if you stacked an iPhone 10 at next to an iPhone 10 s the numbers aren't that drastic Apple's only claimed that about a 10 to 15 percent performance boost on this year's CPU where the performance gains happen though is on the GPU this year there's actually an additional GPU core so it last year where we saw three this year there is four and that's where that juice happens so if you look at something like a computation or antutu which I honestly didn't think I would be doing as part of my day-to-day you can see the performance gains from the iPhone 10s compared to the ten are huge and again the iPhone 10s is not made for the iPhone 10 owner if you're coming from anything prior it's gonna be even bigger the other huge thing with that a 12 on of chip is that it's now on a seven nanometer process and yeah that sounds like fancy tech talk but it's actually a big deal while at 10 to 15 percent performance boost on the CPU might not seem like that much it's doing all that with about 50 percent less power so more than anything this chip is kind of like that forefront and step into the future for iPhone chips so what do all those cores and nanometers and gigawatts mean unfortunately for the average person not a whole lot yeah the iPhone 10s Macs and 10s for that matter pair with iOS 12 is a really fast phone but the iPhone 10 was as well again though we got to stop comparing the iPhone 10s next to the temp you were coming from absolutely anything other than the iPhone 8 the 8 plus or the 10 the iPhone 10s is going to scream what I think it comes down to though I think the iPhone today is in a very similar situation as the iPad pro there's a ton of power but there's not really a ton of things in terms of like everyday tasks that you do that really utilize that it's kind of the same thing with face ID this year yeah it's faster it's snappy especially with iOS 12 but I never found myself having problems or feeling like it's slow on the iPhone 10 but again if you had anything prior if you had an iPhone 8 you didn't have face ID whether it's in direct sunlight or complete darkness face ID just works for me by now I am 100% used to not having a home button and honestly anytime I go back to a smartphone that has one I feel a little weird one thing I want to point out that's more Iowa's 12 related as opposed to iPhone Tenace specific is now you don't have to stupidly pause swipe up to X out of apps you just simply swipe up so on the topic of no home button it is just a much smoother and more enjoyable experience this year all around speaking of that front facing camera I think we naturally got to talk about MIMO G and ahead emoji and there's not too much to say about it except I know you guys out there you use it you don't want to admit it but it's fun and now you can track your tongue better than ever keep it clean now what I was most excited for and honestly what I think might be the biggest change on this year's iPhone is the camera so the sensor it's actually larger this year and that helps with low light you have twin 12 megapixel shooters a wide-angle and then a telephoto lens in that pair with the processing really impressed me this shot in particular here out in Venice at a skate park really stood out to me one I finally felt like I took one of those shots that asshole throw up on a billboard and to the fact that you have that kind of dynamic range and you are freezing that moment in time is amazing this shot here as well is beautiful it's colorful it pops its rich but if you look closely we are freezing that little burden time now from their portrait mode which is so much better this shot here with the super handsome jared leto aka Kevin Kenton was one of the first shots that really wowed me for starters were indoors this is all natural light and what was most impressive is that outdoor window should be blown out to all hell but it's retaining the shadows the highlights it's just a really great image now hopping back to the skate park my buddy Leandre who's an amazing boarder make sure you guys check out his Instagram this shot really kind of captures portrait mode in all its glory what are the new things with the iPhone 10s and 10's max this year is the ability to adjust aperture and I know people are gonna say Samsung had that 16 years ago but it's a little different here on these iPhones yeah it still software base but it's doing more than just blurring out the entire background it's actually reacting to how you open up that f-stop you can definitely overdo it like in this shot if you just go balls to the wall wide open it looks a little fake but if you dial it down kind of go in the middle it looks super nice we can really start to see it take effect though is when you have those beautiful bokeh balls like these guys you can see those bokeh balls get bigger more beautiful and just more pleasing to the eye so to say that this is exactly the same as every other smartphone I don't think is entirely accurate from there let's go to talk about video now I don't upload in 60 frames per second because 24 for life but if you want to see this iPhone 10 s in its full 4k 6 the FPS glory check out this video up here or down below now where the 60fps is useful for me is if you actually slow those down you get some really cinematic footage you can of course go all the way up to 240 frames per second so check this stuff out but it is if you like common choppy on let's take right now I can fly in the sky now it is worth noting that a 60 FPS 4k you don't get smart HDR if you want to take advantage of that you're gonna make sure you want to shoot 30 frames per second or if you're a decent human being switch to 24 from there hopping over to the portrait camera oh my goodness portrait selfies are so much better just like you have the ability on the rear facing camera you can also adjust the aperture on the front-facing selfies as well so again you can't overdo it but if you find that sweet spot in the middle you can get some really pleasing results now in addition to those porker selfies just flat-out being better the dynamic range is also much improved like this shot Here I am looking directly into the Sun and it's holding everything together for so it's the iPhone 10 is straight up says fu is too bright I'm not taking that shots also what's kind of cool is portrait selfie with two people in the frame so one shout-out to mr. Joshi oh he's a super talented creator makes you guys check him out but - you actually got two people in there and is doing a really nice job one thing that's also new with the front-facing camera is 1080p at 60 frames per second so if you're all about that 60fps life you might like the iPhone 10 s one thing I want to point out though because it kind of goes back to the infuriating part of Apple not allowing you to change settings within the camera app you might be looking like how do I change the front-facing camera to record 1080 60 what you have to do is actually set the rear-facing camera at 60 frames per second with its 4k or 1080 and that will automatically trigger the front-facing camera to also shoot 60 frames per second now I know the theme of this video has been if you own an iPhone 10 you probably shouldn't upgrade to that from 10s but I'm willing to bet after a lot of you see that camera you're gonna be really tempted but honestly I think if that's the sole reason I would hold off because everything that's great about the cameras this year is gonna be even better next year other things that might be a big deal to some of you out there is the addition of dual SIM and the way that works is you have one physical sim paired with 1e sim the only actual location that's getting to physical sims is in China as far as battery life I always found the iPhone 10 batter to be pretty solid but if you found yourself just coming up a little short at the end of the day the 10s max is gonna get you over the hump because battery life for me has been pretty fantastic I think overall the battery life King crowns still gots to go to the galaxy note 9 if you want to see a full comparison of that against the 10s max let me know by dropping a like down below as far as water resistance that has also been improved this year on the 10s and 10's max Apple is claiming that in addition to water if you drop it in salt water soda coffee Oh J kool-aid Capri Sun don't worry don't sweat rinse it off let it dry for about five hours and you should be good to go overall the iPhone 10 and tennis max are really well-rounded phones the problem is they are expensive as all hell with the iPhone 10's max going up to nearly $1,500 I think for the average person most people don't need that much storage for me I live for the most part in the clouds so I don't need 512 gigabytes of storage my one complete my final complaint to Apple along with the price is hey it is 2018 let's get rid of that 64 gigabyte based option you don't do microSD card expansion you have to sell your third son to afford these things bring 128 gigabytes as the base option and again it's those small things that's gonna go a long way and make people feel warm and fuzzy aside from that that is my iPhone 10's max review holy video that is long Batman thank you guys very much for watching your amazing hopefully you enjoyed it if you did subscribe to the channel all the details in the giveaway the D brand goodness are down below this is Jonathan and I'll catch you guys later high phone 10s review - I hate it asterisk clickbait I warned you hey
