this is the iPhone 10's Apple's claim to an uncompromised smartphone and performance this is the Apple watch series for what Cupertino defines as an essential redesign and re-engineering of its predecessor whether both claims are true or not a little bit too early to predict but there's really only one way to make a good first impression I'm hey metal even at with PocketNow and I've just spent a weekend with both the iPhone 10s and the Apple watch series for brought to you by the geniuses over a Twix I got a couple of questions on social media over why I chose the 10s instead of the 10s Macs and honestly it had everything to do with me wanting to give the form factor a second chance see I love the idea of having a large screen on a regular-sized phone but sadly the iPhone 10 wasn't my favorite phone of last year sure I know it defined a lot of designs going forward but its features were easily dwarfed by competitors that cost a lot less money this year the design was literally unchanged the same stainless steel and glass finish that's quite hefty in the hand but now with a new color option to answer other questions on social media yes iPhones and cases do fits but it depends on the case the movement of the camera hump is almost indistinguishable even in Apple's own cases and then there are some that are just so snug like in the case of this one from spigen that they won't fit though I'll have a full comparison once I get more time between the iPhone 10's on the iPhone 10 in case you're looking forward to an upgrade now setting it up is literally as Apple as Apple can be meaning it can actually be quite simple if you're coming from another iPhone set your language and region then simply set both phones together the new one will detect the old one and then you take a photo of Apple's fancy version of a QR code and boom the restore process from your old iPhone begins you then setup face ID in the process says that's nearly identical to last year's during that time as well the phone will just ask for your iCloud credentials and then the ones from your App Store account and case they're separate and then the restore from iCloud begins the process is seriously that simple once the device reboots it begins the process of installing your old applications and restoring your photos which are now faster than ever and I assume it has everything to do with the a12 Bionic processor now in the case of the Apple watch series for let me put a couple of worries to rest yes I chose the 44 millimeter variant but this doesn't mean that your existing bands from the 42 millimeter won't work yes the screen is now 30% larger but on a footprint that's nearly identical to the larger variant of the past now I will tell you that I am regretting choosing the sport loop because well the material is nice but the loop makes the watch look asymmetrical at a glance setting up the series for was another breeze once again just place the Apple watch close to the iPhone both get detected scan apples fancy QR code and then since I had a previous Apple watch it offers to restore from the older version which I actually recommend now even if the process is simple and even with apple's updates and hardware and software i still find the process on the Apple watch to be a pain it crashed twice and it seriously just takes forever that said once the process was then we now have a new iPhone a new Apple watch all set iOS 12 may look like every previous version of iOS but Apple has done an amazing job and making it more efficient up to the point where it's revived older phones like the iPhone 10 iPhone 7 as well still imagine how all that optimization will work on the latest and greatest Hardware from Apple like seriously this phone flies it handles all animations well it runs absolutely every application quickly so yes I would definitely consider it uncompromised I like new changes in iOS 12 like being able to close applications by just swiping from the multitasking menu avoiding the stupid need to touch and hold and then swipe to close I also like how notifications are stacked this should seriously be an industry standard to avoid clutter my favourites are really the new do disturbance screen time if I'm editing a video I hate getting notifications that distract my focus from getting work done and I love that you can now easily say that you don't want to be bothered for an hour on a schedule and then screen time is awesome for winding down helping me set limits on how much social media I consume during the day and the finding a time when I should focus on going to sleep actually like how smartphone OEMs not just Apple but even Google are working in ways to help consumers not be stuck on their phones when they should be doing other things I find that to be great now in the case of the Apple watch series for let me just say this to start this is actually the first ever Apple watch that I could say that I actually like it's gotten lighter the aluminum seems more polished and the back now appears like if it came from a science fiction movie and I love changes in design elements like the crown with its fancy chrome on it even if I find vibrations to be the gimmick the screen is really the major deal with everything being larger than before leading to a more comfortable experience using the watch for the basics but sincerely even if this is not the best-looking watch out there probably what I like the most about the Apple watch series for in combination with watch OS 5 is that this finally is a very fast watch and I mean like the kind that would make any other watch look ridiculously slow kind of fast it almost feels like if all applications were loaded in RAM permanently because there is no weight for Apple applications and in the case of third-party apps the weight is minimal and sometimes none at all raise the watch to talk to Siri get a response almost immediately like I'm not even playing with the edits here this is how fast the watch responds like holy cow I am really impressed and yes I do agree I don't like the fact that there are no customizable watch faces on watch OS but I will tell you this much even though people made fun of the infograph watch face that's probably my favorite one you know how my Android home screen is full of things like temperatures sunrise and sunset activity and world clock so hey I now have a watch face that has everything at a glance I still need to test the watch out more and things like Fitness but so far I have no complaints as to its accuracy in my first couple of spins on the bike photography on the iPhone tennis is one of its major selling points but I still need to test more the iPhone 10 was not at all my favorite and dynamic range or portrait mode last year and this year I do see some improvements at first glance I noticed zero lag when taking photos regardless of its day or night my first impression so far are positive portrait mode seems improved and I love that now photos can be edited after the fact but I do notice that there are some cases where it struggles and separating hair from the background and one out of my five tests so not bad actually and as we reach the conclusion let me just interrupt this video for 30 seconds to tell you about our sponsor Wix if you're interested in creating a professional

you can choose from any of the hundreds of templates they offer learn more about Wix in the links in the description below to conclude I think that actually the phrase not bad is probably the best way to end my first impressions of the iPhone 10s and the Apple watch series for in the case of the 10s really not bad definitely a refinement from last year's model but still more testing to go in order to the fine of all the internal upgrades make it worth considering when it comes to the Apple watch just wow I don't find it as ugly as it was before even if the improvements are subtle but watch OS has really made me not care like seriously all I ever wanted was this watch to deliver on its promise and it has this is how the Apple watch should have always been which took four generations to achieve but overall so far so good let us know in the comments what comparisons you would like to see going forward before a review and while you're at it make sure you follow us on social media
