what's going on everyone at your average consumer and this is a real danger lies with the iPhone 10 and for those of you who have never seen one of my real day-in-the-life videos you're pretty much gonna be spending a day with me and the iPhone 10 and we're gonna see how it is to use it in the real world so we're gonna be testing out all kinds of things like the new screen those gestures face ID the battery life all the stuff you want to know so let's see how it does alright guys so it is the start of the day I've got the iPhone 10 at 100% battery right now now as you guys can see I'm using a case because any sane person would with this phone but so I can give you guys an authentic review and idea of what it's like to actually use the phone I'm gonna go caseless which is dangerous because of this glass back but but we're gonna see how it does but I did wake up to a bunch of email so I'm gonna show you guys what typing is like and what it's like to use this big ol screen for everyday things and Aries got her iPhone 10 as well so she's gonna share her thoughts she is taking a selfie right now good job so like I said I did have some emails I took care of them but just to give you an idea of what typing on here is like on an app that doesn't have full iPhone 10 support you get these black borders at the top and bottom so you know typing is pretty normal I can't even see what I'm typing cuz I'm looking at my camera but typing is pretty normal on here but if you go to an app like my message or something you can see a full keyboard so right now you guys can see my GrubHub thread and this is what a full iPhone 10 supported app looks like especially when you pull out the keyboard it's pretty standard like what you saw with the third-party but now at the bottom you have this border that holds the button for multiple keyboards and the microphone since I have multiple keyboards on my phone you get that globe button but Harry she has just an emoji icon here because she only has the stock so stock keyboard and the emojis so it looked like a dedicated emoji button alright guys don't mind the mess here I feel like I say this every time but don't mind the mess we're about to set up for another video you'll probably see that throughout the day but let's talk a little bit more about the feel in the hand so I'm coming from an iPhone 8 plus in terms of what I use typically with an iPhone so going to this it feels like an easy transition now you do have to get used to the longer screen but that's not a big deal at all just having this for a few days now touching the plus makes it feel like a big phone this feels like quite a larger phone and I just want to chime in here because I'm coming from the iPhone 8 and as you guys know that is a smaller phone in this this is not that much bigger but once I started messing around with my 10 I started I started to really feel the difference so I took just suggestion I got a pop socket so for me the pop socket has been really helpful in terms of swiping from the top that's it the control center that was really difficult for me before but now it's super easy people might make fun of you for the pop socket but what's that if it works it works I like it that's not to say that would have never adjusted to it because I guess humans we adapt and I probably would have adjusted to the size but just this helped me with the adjustment period so now it's like about 12 o'clock I've got to go ahead and jump on an hour long conference call which is gonna be so much fun but I'll be talking on the phone for an hour so I'll let you guys know what the battery is like if it has any real impact I'm at ninety percent right now oh I just shoot that video of that be there was this be on the car and it just wouldn't it wouldn't move even though we were driving so I was shot a long video waiting for it to fall off and it never happened so thankfully the call ended up only being thirty minutes and I'm at 87% so that's like a three percent drop well I was at ninety right yeah so three percent drop not bad we'll see how long it lasts throughout the rest of the day though so right now I'm testing the front-facing camera on the 10 I've got my Z board with me I'm actually right in front of a McDonald's and the Sun is actually looking pretty good with a lot of clouds in front of it I think this would make for a great HDR shot so I'm gonna snap a quick picture so we did get some pretty good HDR shots the McDonald's was well lit there's a ton of Sun right now so I figure I think right now I'll try taking a portrait mode selfie okay so I got some pretty good selfies but now it's time to test out the optical image stabilization on both the rear camera lenses alright guys so it's about 441 right now and I've got 60% battery left that's with some camera shots me using the phone for emailing quite a bit and just being on it now I know a lot of you are probably wondering how well did the face ID actually work and I gotta say for me it's been working out pretty well but it isn't perfect honestly I do think touch ID was pretty perfect every time I tried to open my phone I opened my phone this one you pretty much realize you're opening your phone every time you try to use face ID might be because it's just a new process sometimes I do have to hit that side button again to make a scan my face and then I can unlock it so it's those little things that kind of make you aware that you're actually trying to get into your phone maybe with time it'll get better so we'll see how it pans out with some more time now something I really like about face ID is the fact that it gives you increased privacy so when i unlock my screen like this if anyone else does it they're just seeing this they're not gonna see the content of what my notifications are until it actually scans my face and then you can actually see what's inside of here so I like that a lot and then I can go in and see whatever is going on now just so you guys know you don't have to have the camera all up in your face if you're trying to unlock your phone you can actually just come over if it's laying on a desk or something take a look at it and then it'll unlock it so if you need to just quickly glance at your phone loss on your desk and you've got notifications or something you can just do this take a look and then it'll do that but you have to have a certain feature on for it so right here we have a setting called require attention for face ID and when you have this thing on you do have to look directly at the phone so that it'll unlock it making it way more secure but if you want to be able to unlock your phone with a glance you can just turn it off that's kind of how I have it right now just so that I can jump into the phone a little bit quicker I don't want to have to pull the phone up to my face or anything so I'm glad that Apple offers this option in case you don't want to hold the phone up too high and look directly at it when you want to unlock it and I for one who's like really excited for face ID but I ran into a couple of issues when I first got it so when I first opened my phone and started the whole setup process I have you know it was ready for bed so I had like my headscarf on my glasses leap but I really had a hard time identifying my face when I didn't have like my headscarf on or when I had my glasses on so I just went through the whole set of process again and it works it's been working a lot better since then what I found has been a lot easier when I go to open my phone if I just start swiping as I'm looking at my phone it unlocks faster so let's see if you guys can see that so I just like lift it up and swipe and then just unlocks that way as opposed to like having that pause where I'm just like let's get up looking at it and swiping up so if you have the iPhone time just a little trick there don't be wrong my way is better but I will say I really do think it is learning because after having it for some time I noticed I'm able to still wear my glasses and have my headscarf on it's not having those same issues that it was having like the first hour that I had it alright guys so right now we're in Walgreens we're here to pick up a birthday card for Aries dad's whose birthday just passed but this looks pretty interesting so I figured why not take a shot of it take a look at the back camera look at this guy he's all slumped over let's make sure we got the right exposure boom I gotta say this is a lot of detail here and this is similar to the iPhone 8 plus an 8 scammer so you know the quality is gonna be there you know that you can zoom in and still see a lot of detail which is nice colors are gonna be good 10 has a good camera pretty safe to say and since we do have little Cookie Monster over here I figured we might as well take a selfie take advantage of the moment there's actually a pretty good selfie is it working no this is important I should try portrait mode so look at that a shot let's just do cookie how about that cookie ready ready for your close-up oh that's a good selfie for cookies used to get picky now in terms of quality I think it looks pretty good her face came out nice and clear her background is all blurred out looks solid alright guys so right now me and Ari are headed to an Xbox event which should be pretty fun we're actually headed to the Train right now so we'll be there in about an hour so of course while we're on the train he has to be watching something but everyone talks about the knotch and honestly guys like I'm the pickiest person but what a lot of people yeah it doesn't bother me it really really doesn't bother me at all one thing about this whole notch and video thing that there aren't a lot of video apps that take advantage of the entire display a lot of them are gonna look like this where you're not gonna see that anyway and it's like using a basic iPhone right so that kind of sucks because you buy the phone for the screen yeah yeah but like that'll come soon in the meantime is not like bothering me yeah but either way with it or without it I'm not honored by this at all yeah what what what am I not seeing over here honestly I'm more entranced by how my sis all looks with just the thin bezels and everything I like that way more and then this bothers me and if it not bother you then you can always go back fixed I was honestly fine with the essential phone having a little camera in the middle I didn't think that was a big deal and I don't think it's a big deal here as oh so Aaron what are your thoughts on the iPhone 10 so far yes yeah we're doing this what's going on how much is Apple paying you so quick battery update it is 749 right now and we've got about 25% battery left so Dave's pretty much over for a lot of people around this time and I feel like I've been using it moderately as I would have me normal day and that's been doing for you alright this definitely isn't a mind-blowing percentage to be at right now but it's a pretty average the yellow cab City but alright guys so right now we are in a taxi in New York but they do have an Apple pay terminal here so when we pay for this I'm going to show you guys the gesture to actually get Apple pay going and how it works with like face ID and all that dark cab face ID Apple pay it's a good combo here so I'm double tapping the side button Apple pay comes up and read my read my face already and now I just hold in the other terminal all done good to go so with that right there you guys got to see how fast Apple pay was all I have to do is double tap the side button to scan my face and I barely even had to really get it close to the terminal and then they paid for it so that was super fast and super simple so we made it we are at the Xbox 1x launch event check this out there are a bunch of people here we've got a bunch of Xboxes over here and the one X right there I heard it right now would be a pretty good time to get a low-light camera shot I'm probably going to try and do it with this controller over here I'm gonna grab this for just a second I'm gonna get you in the shot Harry this actually looks really good yeah yeah and there really isn't a lot of light here all right so just get yourself in with these guys got Andrew Edwards over here and mr. bored at work looking at lowlife stuffy nose on the dark so this is a shot we got with the flash it looks pretty good now I don't take a lot of pictures with flash of any sort but in this situation else all right guys so our day is almost done well we still got a lot of work to do right Ari but we're on our way back you came to see Erica so dark right now but but we've got about 14% battery left and it's 1052 at night so this thing is done well for a regular day full of work just you know straight up using the phone and you know even going out and being social and for the sake of giving you guys a number here we've got 6 hours and 20 minutes of usage so take it for what you will that's not straight up screen on time I guess but it is a number of usage so background processes and you know just using the phone 6 hours and 20 minutes so not bad and that was pretty much my day now the iPhone 10 is hugely different from previous iPhones so there's a lot to talk about and the first thing I want to talk about is that new OLED display that looks amazing I personally love it it gets bright its vibrant colors look great on it and with that nearly basilis display this thing's ready to compete with a lot of the other 2017 flagships now let's adjust a notch I know a lot of people keep talking about it some people even poke fun at it but honestly it is not a big deal for me it kind of disappears once you get used to using the phone just like when I had the essential phone it had a little notch for its camera that didn't bother me at all and even Ari who uses her phone for about 99 percent of her content consumption wasn't bothered by it at all now when it comes to gestures and navigating the phone it might take some time to remember all of them but you get used to it pretty quickly I find it really easy to swipe between apps and going home I think is pretty intuitive but I won't say I'm not too crazy about how you close apps now I feel like they added a couple of extra steps by having you hold down the app that you want to close and then swiping up or maybe even pressing that little button in the top left that to me just feels like it just slows everything down before all you have to do is open up your app windows swipe up and you're done but on the bright side I am getting used to the control center being at the top right a lot quicker than I expected once you get used to it you're pretty much good overall even though some things take some getting used to I like having too that to something new with the iPhone it helps the experience to feel a bit different in the past upgrading to a new iPhone meant little incremental updates unless there was like a real breakout feature like touch ID or maybe those dual cameras but even then those still felt incremental but now we have what feels like an entirely new device now as for the rear camera it's good you can absolutely plus some really colorful detail shots which all tend to have a warm characteristic which is something that I've seen with the iPhones of 2017 and both lenses now feature optical image stabilization and on the telephoto lens it was just okay I don't think you'll get as good a results as you will with the wide-angle and the front-facing camera is just as good as what we saw with the 8 and 8 plus there is now that portrait mode feature with the 10 it is still in beta so there's still some kinks to work out but I do wish the edges around the subject of the portrait selfie were a bit sharper and a lot of the pictures that I took they looked a little bit soft or blurred out and that front-facing camera also gives us access to those new an emojis and you didn't really see us use that because it's honestly not a big part of our day but I think as more people pick up the iPhone 10 we could see the popularity of that grow quite a bit and if you've been on Twitter at all you know that some other youtubers are like living in emojis right now so there's some really good funny stuff out there which I think a lot of people can enjoy now when it comes to battery life I think it's pretty ok it was able to last me throughout the entire day with moderate usage but if you're a power user or someone who's just on their phone constantly you might find yourself charging it in the middle of the day it's not quite as impressive with the A+ but you do have access to fast charging as well as wireless charging if you wanted to be able to charge it up during the day I feel like those are some nice really convenient ways to charge your phone but so far it's been alright now a lot of people ask me is it worth the thousand bucks and I say if you're in the market and you're even considering spending that kind of money on this phone if you buy it you're not gonna be disappointed it is a great phone but I don't think anybody should go broke for this phone or any phone for that matter so if spending that much money is going to be a problem don't do it overall though the iPhone 10 is one of my favorite flagships of the year because it changes up how you use the iPhone which is something I'm definitely here for and kind of like I said before upgrading is always fun but it hasn't felt this excited about upgrading since the Plus versions of the iPhone came out but if you're on the fence about picking up the iPhone I personally say go for it I like the phone quite a bit and if the gestures are something you don't want to get used to you don't like the face ID I don't know if you don't like something about it there's still always the 8 and 8 plus which are new flagship so this year but just with the more traditional iPhone style but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it and if you did be the cool guy or girl that goes this video thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer peace
