iPhone X Impressions & Hands On!

2017-09-12
hey what is up guys MP PhD here and alright it's the one we've all been waiting for appala held an event today at their new spaceship campus in the new Steve Jobs theatre to unveil a couple things that may or may not have leaked a little bit beforehand but that were excited to finally see in person so there's a couple Loki's smaller announcements before the big one which was first of all the new Apple TV which now supports 4k and HDR we also got to see the new Apple watch Series 3 which now has a cellular connection and can make and take phone calls so that's all good stuff and we appreciate that but but we were really there to see is the new iPhone and what we got was two new iPhones we got iPhone 8 and 8 plus and we got iPhone 10 not really sure what 9 would be maybe we're just skipping that all together that's cool too so iPhone 8 an 8 plus or a spec bump to the current iPhone 7 and 7 plus so nearly identical design but it now has the glass back to support Qi wireless charging which is awesome to see it has a true tone display but the same sizes and resolutions and a new a 11 Bionic chip inside and some slightly updated 12 megapixel cameras and it comes in a new rose gold color which i think is more of like a copper or a faded like sandblasted kind of look so bottom line this is definitely an improvement it's an upgrade over what we currently have but even though this is called iPhone 8 this is definitely more iPhone 7s let's not get it twisted but then came the one more thing and that was iPhone 10 don't you dare call it iPhone X it's iPhone 10 so this is the phone that looks like all the dummies and models I was showing you guys earlier this year and now seeing in person now those things those things are staggeringly accurate so this is my focus and the time we got to play with them hopefully I can do them justice on video so iPhone 10 like we expected has the larger 5.8 inch OLED display but in a smaller body and then the other iPhones thanks to the tiny bezels so you have the display going really close to the edges of the corners of the display curving at the edges and then has that notch in the middle of the top and my main question when playing with those early mock-ups was you know how would Apple handle the in the display with the rounded corners well now we have our answer you get your time on the left side of it and your signal and battery on the right side and then basically depending on what app you're in the clock and the signal and battery will turn black or white to contrast with the background so if you're in a dark app they turn white if you're in a white app like Apple music or something they turn black so basically you can always see them and then certain apps most of them actually will go fullscreen and fill the entire display around the knotch which is really cool it kind of looks like the essential phone with a much wider notch it gives you that immersive look but then other apps a couple may be watching a video sometimes you can ignore that top bar and just show a rectangular aspect ratio but I guess the goal here is definitely to be immersive so the whole point of the display filling up the whole front of the phone is that you can fill it any time possible so developers will be on that pretty quickly so anytime an app can go fullscreen it definitely will and then the other big question was there's no home button so how do you go home well the answer is it's a gesture now so to go home on the iPhone X it's no longer button you swipe up from the bottom of the phone so basically any time you see that bar at the bottom that represents the home swipe and you swipe up to go home and to get to the multitasking panel you swipe halfway up so you got to remember the difference between those two and then there are three different swipe down gestures on this phone ready swipe down from the middle for notifications swipe down from the right corner for a control center and swipe down in the middle of the home screen for search so basically all these operations you know interacting with the phone that are now done on the screen they're all gestures to make that possible you can even wake the display by just touching it once it's a lot to get used to but I'm willing to give it a shot it's kind of what you get yourself into when you remove all the buttons and then the big story with this phone is that the front-facing sensors in that big tab up at the top are really advanced and they kind of have to be because Apple has replaced touch ID and fingerprints with face ID and facial recognition so I didn't get to test this much at all yet but I definitely plan on it because apples made a big deal out of it and a lot of big claims about how reliable it needs to be you know million-to-one chance that someone else can get into it with something other than your face it needs to be really secure because it's literally replacing touch ID but that's something I'll have to test for the full review now the last major change on the outside is the new cameras so yes the vertical camera orientation is new and just like I always say I think it looks better here in real life than it did in the renders and the iPhone 10 is rocking to those two slightly updated 12 megapixel cameras again and this time they're both optically stabilized so the telephoto lens should do a bit better have a better success rate in low-light do better with video etc so obviously photo and video quality is another thing that I got a test when I get it but one thing you'll notice is Apple is really trying to give some more customization options in their portrait modes I think that's probably triggered by what Samsung just did with the note 8 so now when you open the portrait mode on the iPhone you will get these extra modes that will try to adjust the look of the lighting so you can go from natural light to studio light to contour light to even stage light which is really dramatic and these will also now work with the front-facing camera as well so you can do portrait mode with the front-facing camera and that's with all these camera effects on your face which you know is gonna take your selfie game to the next level at least I think so and yeah you can actually change all this stuff after you've taken the photo as well so that right there the front facing camera improvements I mean honestly is enough reason for some people to consider getting this phone hilariously enough so the front-facing camera will also work great with this new feature in iOS called an emojis which is literally animated emojis it's like seven or eight emojis with faces on them that move as you move so in case you're ever wondering what did the Fox say sorry that's it okay that's a terrible joke but yeah now an iMessage you can send short videos with your voice coming from an emoji it's really good at making people make weird faces not gonna lie yeah other than that the rest of what's new with the iPhone 10 is the same as what's new with iPhone 8 so spec bump to the a11 Bionic chip so should have buttery smooth performance the glass back of course enabling qi wireless charging which I'm excited to start seeing everywhere now the OLED display is also now true tone enabled and it's this this beautiful new gesture enabled fingerprint a slab of glass and metal that will start at a thousand bucks when it goes on sale in November now are there concerns with it yes absolutely there's no promotion display which isn't really a concern actually but the brightness of the OLED panel was in question when the specs were revealed nobody got to take this phone outside or anything but I can already tell my note 8 display got brighter for what it's worth and now the power button on the side is also a little bit bigger and you can hold it down to trigger Siri and I'm telling you right now that's gonna cause a lot of accidental Siri triggers in pockets around the world for the next year just on that out there but whatever I'm glad it's finally revealed the rumors are over and this is iPhone 10 of course both these phones the 10 and the 8 and 8 plus will go under the microscope for the full review in the next couple weeks and months so definitely subscribe are ready to be the first to see these phones when they come out but I am liking what I've seen so far I'm really into the 10 maybe you are - let me know in the comments below thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys the next one peace
