hey-ya one feel really old iPhone 10 was announced two days ago hey what is up guys I'm to be HD here and iPhone 10 doesn't come out until November a full month or two after iPhone 8 will come out in September and Apple do this on purpose they're getting two different news cycles out of two different new iPhones and they'll probably limit supply like they usually do you know how Apple is but that just means that all the info that we have about the purchase decision for this phone is just in the presentation we got onstage and the hands-on time we got with it afterwards so I think that's all my thoughts about this new phone into the first impressions video which you should go watch its new definitely check it out if you haven't already but from that video it spawned a whole new sea of much more interesting questions about the phone and these are the five most important of those so number one a big part of the story for this new iPhone was that they dropped touch ID for face ID facial recognition to unlock your phone and the big question is will it be just as good well first of all the actual facial recognition technology is supposed to be really good it shouldn't be fooled by a photo of you it shouldn't be fooled by people who kind of look like you it should work in the dark a new question I've seen though is if you actually have an identical twin that looks identical to you will that fool it and answers yeah probably will if your girlfriend holds your phone up to your face while you're sleeping to unlock it will that work no because it won't work when your eyes are closed you have to open your eyes to use face ID so apples got your back there assuming you sleep with your eyes closed and one weird thing that people have been talking about is it looked like face ID failed in the first ever demo that Apple gave to the public which is what they did on stage with that new iPhone let's take a look at exactly what happened iPhone 10 now unlocking it is as easy as looking at it and swiping up and you know to try that again oh-ho-ho let's go to back up here and get right in okay so since then Apple has actually come out with an official explanation for what happened that they gave to nine to five Mac which was this people were handling the device for stage demo ahead of time and didn't realize face ID was trying to authenticate their face after failing a number of times because they weren't Craig the iPhone did what was supposed to do which was required his passcode in other words face ID worked as it was designed to so that makes perfect sense you know how if you try the wrong fingerprint enough times in a row it will ask you for your password if you do like I don't know 8 10 times in a row it stops listening to the fingerprint and just says putting your PIN well apparently it's the same thing if you try the wrong face too many times in a row so to me that just raises a question if people just look at your phone randomly is that gonna count as a failed unlock attempt like well there just be tons maybe hundreds of failed to unlock attempts if you just leave your phone on a table for too long and people walk by and look at it does that count are we all gonna be like Craig Sam some kind of doesn't have this problem because when you raise the phone it doesn't wake up once you hit the power button and then it starts looking for your iris and it wakes with the iPhone you have raised to wake so as soon as you raise it up its awake and looking for a face it could a drained battery could it constantly be looking for the wrong faces will we constantly be putting in our pass codes that I don't know basically I'm just hoping that face ID has been worked on enough and refined enough that this won't be a problem because that's why Apple took so long to implement this so number two is reach ability and overall one handedness this is actually a really big overlooked part of the iPhone 10 in my original video I didn't mention it that much but something you might not notice is this is actually not a really easy one-handed phone when you compare it to the current iPhone 7 plus or eight plus it has a smaller body yes but it's still a larger display which means you will have to reach further no matter how small the bezels are well made me notice this was having the home button or the home swipe all the way at the bottom and the control center all the way up at the top now someone who uses control center a lot that is a serious stretch and I have big hands so I know right away from there that means it's gonna be a two-handed thing for a lot of people I didn't get to mention that in my original impressions video but obviously looking back at the clips you can tell even with big hands it's not easy so that's something a lot of people will be using this device with two hands so number three is anything about this phone actually new no I mean pretty much every single new feature we saw demoed onstage or highlighted or headlined about the iPhone 10 we've seen it before in some other the bezel is display with a notch at the top while the essential phone literally just did that but many other phones have been bezel is over the past couple years in their own ways qi wireless charging this has been around for a while as well just last year Galaxy Note 8 Galaxy s8 LG v 30 have all had wireless charging plus many others space unlock that was a key new feature back in the days of Android 4.0 plus the note 7 came out last year with iris scanning even augmented reality there have been entire phones built around that experience but the fact is that doesn't really matter I mean you've heard this before Apple is never really first to things but they tend to lag behind and then when it's well established they leap in and do it really well and it's well we're find that's what we're crossing our fingers for with face unlock that's what we're used to seeing with other Apple features that's what's happening again here and to be fair I don't really know how they can say they're wireless charging is better than others but I am really glad that it's finally here so number four this is a thousand-dollar phone is this thing gonna be worth the extra money well that depends on you that's also a question I've been getting about the Galaxy Note 8 the phone I'm reviewing right now it's about $1,000 the question is always is it worth the extra money over its closely related brother phone really I think the better question is I phone 10 what does it do for a thousand bucks that the cheaper new iPhone 8 doesn't do so first of all it's an OLED display so it'll have a higher contrast ratio more saturated colors pitch black blacks it supports HDR now it's just overall going to look better it's also a higher resolution as 24 36 by 1125 at 458 pixels per inch and you also now get to say you have a super Retina display and then of course the display is fullscreen edge to edge much smaller bezels no chin you also have optically stabilized both cameras instead of just one so the telephoto lens should have much better performance and low-light much better video stabilization etc but then everything else is exactly the same the specs the performance the ip67 rating wireless charging bluetooth 5.0 the selfie camera all that stuff is the same on both so what I'd say is you have to decide if that premium design and the fullscreen OLED display are worth it to you he might be surprised how many people say yes people we just want the best possible iPhone so the number five is the little stuff just a bunch of random little nagging questions like how do you take a screen shot if there's no home button anymore well I didn't get to try this at the event but I'm guessing it'll move to do it exactly the same way Android does which is power button and one of the volume buttons and if Siri is triggered by a long press of the power button then how do you turn the phone off that's usually a long press probably just a much longer press of the power button so Siri is like a two-second hold down to trigger it but actually holding it for five to eight seconds will get you that shutdown animation well having face ID as your unlock prevent you from being able to just like sneak your phone in class or like sneak use it during meetings yes but also you could just use your passcode like before we all know the Space Gray version of this thing will be a fingerprint magnet but will a case or a skin on the back of this phone interrupt wireless charging the answer is No so skins are really thin no problem you can put it on the pad it'll still work and qi wireless charging i've seen on many other phones people have used some pretty thick rubber cases and put them on wireless charging pads and they still work so it'll depend on the thickness of the case you choose but ideally you can try it in an Apple store and see for yourself so there you have it guys I think the bottom line for iPhone 10 is this is really one of those phones where you'll want to wait to see the reviews before you buy I mean it's already more expensive than the iPhone eight and it's coming out a little bit after the iPhone 8 as well so you'll have if you have that luxury of being able to wait to see if this is the phone you want to buy do that watch the reviews then you'll know it is a really beautiful phone at first glance and in the hand it'll probably be awesome but obviously looking at it and actually spending your money on it are two completely different things so that's what I hope to help you with with these videos but that's pretty much it feel free to share this one with anyone who you think might want to know more about the iPhone 10 and of course the impressions video which I'll link above or right below the like button but that's pretty much it thank you for watching talk to you guys in the next one peace
