hey guys it's Branagh minimun from pocket now calm the iphone 5 is here and in this video we're going to unbox it then I'm going to give you some first impressions let's go ok let's get started here I haven't opened this yet as you can see kind of wanted to capture some some first impressions on cameras we like to do with unboxings i think i'm boxing's are still pretty cool don't you alright so here it is bigger box than before with the iPhone 4s obviously because it's taller in fact the amount of tallness here is probably in proportion to how much taller the screen is on the iPhone 5 about 0.5 inches all right so let's take the razor blade but be gentle here iPhone 5 and technically this is the sixth iPhone right because there was the original iPhone then the 3G 3GS four for us this is the sixth iPhone but they're calling it the iPhone 5 because there wasn't an iPhone 5 before it ok let's take a look so a lot of the review so far on the internet have been up the black one and this is the white one and it's different it doesn't have the sort of darkened metal texture so let me take this out of the box here oh my goodness it is extremely light it's not as thin as I thought it was going to be it's carefully remove these things it it feels Hollow it truly feels hollow inside and I really want to take a close look at this metal here because I was hoping that it would deter fingerprints and I'm going to try to fingerprint it up and it's resisting it very very well this is a beautiful beautiful device look at how the edges kind of shine very nice I can't believe there's an iPhone in here and I really mean that this thing is so incredibly light it's ridiculous and let's see if my thumb can reach the upper corner of the screen yeah I mean what's going to happen is with one-handed usability you're going to hold this a little higher up versus the iPhone 4s where you're kind of at the bottom near the home button you could go up there with the iPhone 5 you're going to kind of shimmy up a little bit just because you're going to want to weight it evenly in your hand anyhow let's put that aside I'll take a look at these earpods Apple kind of doing something different sort of dica monetizing the headphones I mean for years and years and years everyone got the exact same headphones with every phone and Apple said wait a minute maybe we can do something better so I wonder how these are going to fit in my ear because they look really weird anyway we'll get back to that nice carrying case though because these are kind of chunky and clunky let's take a look at the Thunderbolt wire and I want to compare it to micro USB for a sec ok so here we are very small it's a lot smaller than it actually looks in pictures I hopefully can get in focus it's so small that the camera is having trouble focusing on it let's look at it next to micro USB it's literally the same width and the cool thing about Thunderbolt or lightning you know all these you know storm names is that you can insert this either way and that's a big deal because with micro USB you got to get it in the right way and you always have to look at the phone at least I do unless you have some sort of some sort of texture on here to tell you which way is the top so that's nice and just for good measure kind of want to plug it in just out of curiosity here that snaps in nicely and it turns on when you plug it in what do you know so it's turning on it's going to ask me to activate it for the first time let's just compare it next to the iPhone 4s and what they've done here is they've essentially removed the back panel the v has no back panel and they've thinned up the front panel as you can see it's about half or even a third or a quarter of the thickness of that front piece of glass I'm thrilled that there aren't two pieces of glass on this because I dropped my 4s my wife dropped her iPhone and we keep cracking the backs and you know you can get a nice thick case but I don't really like to use a case I don't want to have to worry about the back getting cracked so we're going to set this up and I'll be right back okay so let's talk about some early first impressions I've been using this for about thirty minutes got all of my data restored I've done a little bit of comparison with the 4s I just want to point out a few things something kind of unfortunate actually and look out if you're getting the iPhone 5 for blemishes on the device because you should take it back if you look very closely right here there's a little tiny nick taken out of this shiny sort of polished edge not that big of a deal but I just open this and it should be perfect this is a definitely an expensive foam so let's talk about the screen Apple says this is the best screen they've ever made and that it's better than the iPhone 4s is it let me show you so I'm gonna bring over the iPhone for us over here and I want you to look at the photos icon here okay look at the color of the photos icon and then look at it on the five I'd say it's probably 25% higher in color saturation which is nice it's very subtle and you're probably not going to notice just using the iPhone 5 day-to-day but if you kind of compare the iPhone 4s with the iPhone 5 side-by-side there's no doubt I mean look at the blue in the facebook icon it's a lot more blue over here it kind of looks like in comparison like a undersaturated blue anyway we're going to do more comparisons later something interesting that I've seen is that I restored from a backup and it installed literally 10 apps at one time whereas on the iPhone 4s it only installs two apps at the most at one time so maybe taking advantage of that a 6 chip so this phone is fast I'm going to take you on a little tour of web browsing here just kind of give you an idea of how fast this phone is things just I mean the progress bar just disappears so quickly let's go to the full version of pocket now a obviously is large and charger lot lots of images lots of code let's watch the progress bar up top done it's insanely fast let's move around on the page it's nice to have that extra vertical space in fact just as a quick comparison we're going to do the same thing here on the iPhone 4s let me just bring up pocket now real quick kind of do a little bit of a speed test here so the advantage to the taller screen you can see literally it's it's half image it's not that much let's look at a page at the all the way zoomed out view so we can see down to this story down to this story on the headline of this story over here on the iPhone 4s we see down to this story and just the headline in first sentence of the next story so you really get to see more on the screen at one time which is fantastic let's pinch-to-zoom see how long it takes to clear up it clears up almost instantly like did you see that there wasn't even I couldn't even count how long that took to clear up versus on the iPhone 4s if we do the exact same thing that's also pretty fast and there's an annoying add getting in the way but it just seems a lot faster on the iPhone 5 so let's move around on the page see what's like let's go into landscape get that full screen web browsing performance what they just look fantastic on this thing it's just beautiful let's go into a story today is iPhone day that's very relevant isn't it something else I should mentioned first impressions the home button is stiffer and I don't really like it that way because it makes it slightly more difficult to DoubleTap but really it's not that big of a deal it probably means that I Apple has kind of firmed up the mechanism because a lot of people with the iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 have had problems with the home button kind of breaking overtime some other things I'm going to look at here just look around the device we've got these sort of drilled holes and this seems to be a very common theme in smartphone design we're seeing on HTC phones we're seeing it on Samsung phones it seems that these some of these these smart companies these electronic companies are getting excited by the idea of drilling lots of little holes and it's a nice touch now going over to the back I put this more so to the test and I can say that this does not pick up fingerprints that well the Apple logo yet because you get that shiny metal II miss but you don't really get fingerprints picking up on the back which is a really nice touch now up here at the top we've got the white strip and if you get the white unit you also get these white bars along the side which look really nice by the way and as mentioned if you get the black version this silver actually becomes kind of like a gunmetal tinted black and some people are complaining already that the black is wearing off on these on these edges so you might want to watch out for that maybe Apple will refine the design something I can tell you about these edges is that they do actually pick up fingerprints and I imagine that over time the the sheen of them will wear off a bit as you you know handle this thing more and more something I did do is I trimmed my micro SIM to the nano SIM size and I made a video about it so if you are running a prepaid plan or you're buying this unlocked and you already have a SIM card you don't want to use the one that came with it which is very tiny you can just cut it just like you might have cut your SIM card down to a micro sim as phones started to ship with that smaller technology let's let's launch the camera I'm really curious about that because that's something that always needs to be fast let's let's just compare these two devices real quick okay iPhone 5 significantly faster and launching camera that's always great to see anyway we're gonna have so much more on this if you want the best iPhone 5 coverage keep it to pocketnow.com we are going to cover this from every single angle we're extremely curious about this device how it compares to everything out there how it works in day-to-day testing how battery life is and a lot lot more keep it to pocketnow.com make sure you subscribe to our Channel and of course give us a thumbs up if you liked this video and if you
