iPhone X vs iPhone 8? Ask MKBHD V20!

2017-09-26
hey what is up guys I'm can be HD here and welcome back to the Q&A series I didn't forget about this one it is pretty late in September but it is still September which means we have time to do the monthly Q&A this is actually number 20 ever so as usual I asked you guys on Twitter what you wanted to know what you wanted to know and there were plenty of questions and I have to say right off the bat the number one most asked question there was like 2,000 questions asked this time about half of them were just iPhone 8 vs. iPhone 10 so obviously iPhone 8 is out right now iPhone 10 is out in another couple weeks the majority of the questions even questions I get in real life are like should I wait is there anything really new about iPhone 8 I don't want to spoil too much of the review that's about to come out for this phone but I actually really do like it a lot and there's some things that people were kind of underrating about it and that are new specifically the power and the cameras but I'll cover all that in the full video bottom line is yeah I'm gonna wait for iPhone 10 if I'm buying I want the best iPhone iPhone 10 seems like that best iPhone what is your all-time favorite video you've made I don't have a good off-the-cuff great answer for this there's a lot of really fun videos I've made the one that comes to mind right away is the project loved a video that we made that it was only a 90 second video but I don't know if I've told you about the entire behind-the-scenes process that video took several days to make in fact I definitely did tell you that before but seriously that was a lot of fun and if I could end up winning the contest was a super big bonus what are your thoughts on Porsha's upcoming mission II and I guess is it a Tesla rival so I've read a couple articles about this thing and I've also read a bunch of articles about other companies that are making an electric sedan or some electric sporty looking car I think ideally yeah this ends up being a Tesla rival because they're so similar if it ends up being real at all it is another electric car that's in roughly the same price point as Tesla Model S the Tesla's so far ahead in that electric car market they already have all these superchargers everywhere they already have the clout the mindshare that's gonna be hard to catch but at the same time it's Porsche Porsche has a lot of mindshare and clout and people like them and this is a really good-looking car so if they could attack some of the places where people find Tesla Model S to be like weaker like the interior Porcia tends to do really nice interiors and I think they'll have something going for him but until then it's still playing catch-up would you go on first we feast hot ones if invited well of course yes if you get invited to do a show like that and to clear the wings with Sean Evans you of course accept the offer the question is would you embarrass yourself if you like don't finish all the wings I don't actually know I think I'm pretty good with hot food but I'm not sure here's an interesting one how did you and the rest of team crispy meat so generally I think the the first time a lot of us met was online so it's not really it doesn't count as meeting each other the first time I ever met Austin Evans I remember was I'm gonna forget which phone it was but it was a samsung galaxy s launch event it was probably galaxy s3 launching in New York City we both went to the launch event and it was we just walked into a restaurant we're like oh hey you're that other youtuber we've clogged with what's up good to see you in person and I think a lot of us do end up meeting at these tech events whether it's a Samsung event or LG or whatever they're just hosting a bunch of people who are doing similar things like tech press and tech youtubers so that's a lot of where we meet for the first time how many views did you get on your very first video in the first 24 hours of uploading probably probably like 12 probably I would say if I put an over-under at like 15 I would take the under do you think face ID will be able to replace touch ID in terms of real-world usage so it's actually kind of a question that I would have for Apple cause if you think about it I mean I'm sure they wanted an iPhone 10 I'm sure they wanted to have touch ID underneath the glass that fingerprint reader that everyone's used to in the same place just under the glass but they didn't they didn't get that in time so they ended up working really hard on the front-facing sensors to make face ID as good of a replacement as possible and as as far as we know it's actually better it's more reliable it's more consistent it has a lower failure rate it's harder to trick so ideally this is actually a good replacement but what if next year they actually do get the technology in the iPhone 11 or whatever it ends up being to put touch ID back underneath the glass does that mean we go back to touch ID and we just forget about face ID even happening or do we keep both but prioritize face ID because it's better but also offer that like state-of-the-art fan for reader what do they do that's a that's literally something I would want to ask Apple I guess we'll just have to wait a year or so to find out do you ever get disappointed by your YouTube analytics no we now have fingerprint sensor facial recognition and iris scanner on smart phones what do you think will be the next step you're right that is a lot of like body information like a lot of biometric data to secure your phone next thing you know they're gonna be like listening to your heart rate too wait why did I skip the new gold color in iPhone X or 10 iPhone 10 I keep saying I I don't know if I'll ever really get used to saying iPhone 10 first of all I keep saying iPhone X because it's an X it's gonna say X on the box I'm gonna look at it and say iPhone X actually I even remember at the event when we first went out to that hands-on area and they had all those Apple employees like holding up the phone waiting for people to shoot videos up in photos of it you could ask them questions and stuff and I remember I asked one of them a question and I said hey on iPhone X can you and before I even finish the question that interrupted me and said it's the tenth like I think they were told to actively correct these press people who were talking about the phone to make sure they say 10 not X anyway why did they skip the gold color I think I don't know I think there will be more colors of iPhone later down the road this year like they came out with that red iPhone halfway through the cycle last year maybe they'll introduce a gold iPhone 10 in a couple months who knows my real question with the iPhones is this new Space Gray why is it always a different color it seems like every Space Gray Apple product is different from every other Space Gray Apple product even though they're all Space Gray Apple literally got to invent their own color name here but they made them all a different color it kind of ruins the name reach ability on the iPhone 10 Fiasco or not I think you're referring to like the DoubleTap of like being able to bring the screen halfway down that's called reach ability on iPhone 8 iphone 7 iphone 6s all the big phones yeah that's not as far as we know gonna happen on iPhone 10 there's no home button so there's no place to double tap to bring screen down and I talked about it in my second video about that phone that is it's a big screen so it's going to be kind hard to reach that's something to consider I don't know if that's a huge deal for people it's not gonna be like reach gate or anything crazy like that but yeah this is a bigger screen something they're gonna have to get used to any plans to have a video test driving an owners model 3 hoping so love your videos Thank You Patrick and yes I think it's about that time where now people who are outside of Tesla who aren't employees are going to be starting to get their model 3 orders in so let this be a PSA if you are a future or about to be current model 3 owner that's also in the Northeast New York City area that's also willing to let me shoot a video about your car hit me up on Twitter link below wireless charging for Tesla's when yeah I don't so I've seen I've seen some concepts about wireless charging for cars the thing about wireless charging is it loses it's not very efficient first of all your phones our phones already get pretty warm when we put them down on like a wireless charging pad and they don't charge as fast because they're losing some of that charging to heat dissipation try to charge a car very quickly is already kind of a big deal people want their cars to charge fast but even in your garage I can't imagine Heat not being a really big problem there I was super charging this weekend on a road trip and it was really hot this weekend it was about 95 degrees so the car thermometer said a hundred and nine degrees when it was on that asphalt and it was plugged in and trying to unplug the car it was hot to the touch and that was just from being plugged in so wireless charging being like somewhere near the car and trying to transmit energy that doesn't seem like a great idea maybe in the future maybe in 20 years but not right now now that you have a main gear PC will we ever see a pub G stream from you maybe with Sam Scheffer hey you know what I'm sure Sam would be willing and I haven't so I'm not a big shooter gamer type but this machine makes me want to be I'm thinking will organize some sort of live stream where I'm actually trying to game but obviously the best games I'm at are driving games and like sports simulation type games but I'll give pub G a shot because it's so hot right now and also because that main gear PC is so hot right now link to the battle station post below it's kind of lit but yeah that's pretty much it I think that's what we'll end it this has been Q&A number and of course the September edition it's about to be October so of course you know there's gonna be more questions if you have any others feel free to leave them in the comments below I'll hang out there for a bit hit me up on Twitter I get back to those but that has been it thank you for watching talk to you guys the next one face
