My brain honestly accepts the dynamic island over the notch. Something about having the image continue around the entire phone instead of being disconnected from the notch allows me to ignore the new design more and make it feel more natural
It's the same reason I like the cut out on S21. It's a weird psychological thing. Even though the pixels above the cut out aren't useful it looks nicer to have the image wrap around it and makes the screen feel more immersive.
@@-ThatGuy- Absolutely! I agree. Exactly how I see it too
That and how it expands to show notifications and all that, just kinda makes sense, I work at a phone store and so far I’ve setup 5 of them, really nice phones, just gets me confused when I see the lack of physical sim
Yeah I didn't ever think Id like the cutout. I got the IPhone 11 pro from my job, and It was a really Nice phone, with a great Camera setup. Nice all around. My personal device was always a Galaxy Note though (I use my S pen for everything lol) and I had the 512gb Note 9 that I loved forever. It was a perfect phone for me. I resisted the upgrade to the 10 because the 9 was perfect. I FINALLY upgraded to the S22 ultra and the hole punch disappears when I use it because like you said, the image goes around it. I like it way better than the notch.
It's a gimmick that will become extinct in 5 years like their pathetic attempt of touch bar from Microsoft 🤣
I really like how much more balanced the energy is on the channel between you two . It kinda felt like an Austin Evans 2 channel at first but it's starting to feel more like it's more of a Matts thing now. Keep up the great work Matt, been loving how much more comfortable you are on camera than before.
I think Austin did that on purpose tho. Kinda.
It's Matt's show but Austin is a Nut for control 🤣😝
You sound mad gay bro
It kinda seemed like it was somewhat intentional from Austin. He always seemed to cut matt off or talk over him.
It was always Matt's ......
@@-ThatGuy- I always get annoyed when Austin cuts him off lol. Let the guy talk!
please send help soon. Matt said if i keep trying to escape from the This Is basement he will strand me on the Dynamic Island with no music :(
no music???
@@AronFromThisIs the windows are up and the airconditioning isn't on :(
If Apple had the option to place USB C on the iphone or hold off on replacing the iphone port as long as possible to continue amassing royalties from third party manufactures from their lightning patent, I think they would choose the latter.
Tim Cook's Apple, coming from a supply chain focus, is successful producing at scale and of course, a little more invested in any business opportunity that yields more profit.
13:20
ESIM for me, somebody who uses prepaid, was a tough move. I reached out to AT&T to have my current sim converted to an eSIM before I got the 14. I thought that everything would be smooth sailing after that, and that I could just transfer it over to my new phone at setup, but it still required another phone call to AT&T and another 30 minutes of waiting on the phone for them to do it manually.
Was it the worst experience? No. Is it going to be annoying if I have to upgrade in the future?Yes.
i love hearing both of you talk. Keep me smiling.
To me that's the best description of why I don't like the Island.
It being something you constantly interact with and is constantly changing form and drawing your attention makes it so you're always aware that it's there, while with the Notch, you just got used to that being how the phone looks and you forgot that it was there, not to mention watching full screen content, although not great with the notch, is MUCH better than with that huge pill + the no man's land of pixels next to it.
I still don't know why we have a notch at all? Why don't we have cameras behind the screen that just turns off those pixels when the camera is in use? If we can have clear roll up screens this should not be so hard.
Now that I have a type c iPad I’d prefer a type c iPhone due to port limitations. Like using a wired controler or usb in and an hdmi out and charging? Not doable. Physically it’s limited. Type c can support more than 2 independent connections without issue. Lightning struggles.
E-sim is probably the biggest gripe I'd have with this. It's hard to have a good experience with a phone carrier. If you never change sims it's fine, but if you do it's a hassle.
I’ve had a lot of phones, I had a iphone 4 then 5, then had android ( moto g4 pro, HUAWEI p20pro), then iPhone X and now i just got a 12 pro. On my experience buying the latest iPhones is never a good idea, cause a lot of my friends which do always have a lot of issues until half a year afterwards it’s release, also a port less iPhone would be a no go for me. Mag safe sucks. And data transfer thru lighting port sucks ass well 😂. I think they should go usb C. Better faster stronger. Simless iPhones would be a trouble for travelers.
Carriers started to add restrictions that only allow 2 sim swaps per year on e sims for free. More then that, you have to pay. Really pro consumer right there.
There is a micro SIM size if you are so concerned about battery space.
Using the iPhone 14 pro myself, I truly cannot understand why they haven’t integrated all notifications through the dynamic island
I’m also having focus issues.. I thought I was the only one, it’s pretty annoying. My iPhone XS never had this issue. This camera system its a little overwhelming. Seems like the main camera is forcing itself on macro or cinematic mode without using those features. They need to fix this with an update
My iPhone 12 Pro Max can never focus, and night shots are mostly terrible
When it comes to the esim, I switch my phone out to my Samsung and or older iPhone depending on what I'm doing. I do travel between Canada and US often and depending on if my phone needs a clean before crossing, I'll pull the sim and put it in my other iphone\samsung. My Samsung does dual sim, so if traveling I have both in at the same time and don't need to worry about figuring out where to enter my esim information.
A sim card has it's issues, but going purely digital has more cons than pros. Especially when it comes to locking down a phone, especially with some older phones I still use when I want to change it up. I'll throw a sim in and go. Why? Because I can. Apple may be a 'trend setter' of sorts, but I'm still not ok with no headphone jack and removing the sim, IMO, is stupid. We want more control over our phones, not giving them more control over our phones.
As for the 14. I'll stick with my 13 pro max and still rocking my s10. The 14 is what matt said, an S, not a new gen. Very stupid of apple to call the 14 new.
How can anyone get confused in thinking their phone is awake? Or is it a different set up in the UK? I can barely see the image with the always on. It’s gone 11pm and I’m at 51% battery heavy usage.
My main concern is the MagSafe seems weaker compared to my 12.
You were right about the UBC on the 15 lol
Keep it up awesome content :)
The battery life gives me anxiety at 2:21
One benefit of e-sim is phones that have upgradable storage won't have to use double-depth trays to accommodate both sim and memory card, and for those that _don't_ have upgradable storage they could potentially now add it by replacing the sim tray with a memory card tray/reader. If they don't mind not having that space freed up.
Matt i do agree with your opinion most of the times but the headphone jack thing you said at 14:20 don't make sense to me removing the jack was completely a decision that was taken for making more money don't believe me just have a look at Zenfone 9 and if you have time do watch it's teardown you will get my point.
I don’t have a problem with no esim but put something in the plastic box or just keep it! How about add a Haptic Engine?
i really wish any other manufacturer don't use esim.
i have an extra sim just for emergency uses, like when i really late to pay bills or when certain places have better signal on my other sim.
using esim means i don't have that options anymore. i am really not fond of having 2 devices when i can just carry a power bank.
Awesome job guys 👍
What's the deal with all the critic of the eSIM and the need for a SIM-tray due to international travel? Does US Telecom carriers not have mobile plans that lets you use it internationally? I can travel all around the world and have mobile service with the subscription i have.
And just for the record, eSIM is not "something that only works in the US". Almost all big carriers here in Europe offers eSIM and has done for several years.
I have iPhone 7 looking for a new iPhone, I had my sight on 14 pro but I decided to get normal 13 refurbished and wait for 15/16 pro.
I live in small Europe country and considering every neighbouring country has it's own phone carrier with it's own charges I hope integrated sim cards won't become a norm.
the only thing that's grinding my gears is that the removal of sim tray and also they should've made it type c only because overseas making apple turn lighting to type c that's going to make a huge problem
Been rocking a normal sim and esim simultaneously dual carriers on my z flip 3 for a year, that should've been the route to go for convenience
that's been the case for years on iphone and still is outside US
Great Video!
I use airdrop to transfer files from my phone to my Mac and if I need to I use hotspot from my phone to do so.
i think dynamic island will be a feature to be seen for the next few years like austin said. i also think the next step in removing that will be screen integrated cameras and sensors, for a full screen display
I’m kinda glad I waited to get my 14pm I’ve only had it for 3 weeks and Have not experienced any problems I loved my 13pm I had planned on keeping it till the 15 but I got a great deal on a trade in so I did it so far I like it overall a bit better especially the dynamic island I like it so much better than the notch and the aod is handy it’s just nice to have something that looks a bit different the 13 pm camera was fantastic but the 14 pm is just better as far as battery life it seems head to head
Every time I see something like this I'm glad to have gone Android. I just don't want to deal with all of that bullshit.
Real question here :
I currently have an iPhone 12 mini on location and the contract is ending in a few months (something like march 2023 I think).
I was planning on getting this new 14 (pro) and keep it a bit longer that 2 years (duration of my contract). Maybe keep it until it die or become really crappy with perfs.
Should I wait a few more months and get the 15 ?
EDIT : I don't have a really pro usage of my phone : just regular net browsing, few video watching and lots of pictures of my dog.
The 15 won't be out in a few months, it will be out next year. If you aren't attached to apple you should look at the s22 ultra. Otherwise I'd wait for the 15 next year
@@CaptainCandycorn I’m keeping my 12 mini until the end of the contract around march 2023
I would go with the 13 since you'll be able to get basically the same phone as the regular 14 for $100 less (In the US, apologies if prices are different elsewhere) and you mentioned you don't really use your phone for 'pro things'. Unless you really want want the pro offers, then by all means go ahead! You should also be able to get the 13 pro for cheaper now, which might be something worth looking into as well. :)
Just wait. You have zero need to upgrade unless you direly want dynamic island which is a fugly feature and the camera is cool but if you are not more than a point and snap shot person then forget upgrading and keep your 12 mini.
You could almost do the same stuff the “ dynamic island” does with the iPhone 13’s notch
It’s my first iPhone coming from a galaxy note 10+ personally I love it but my girl got a 13 pro max and there isn’t much of a difference so as a longtime Apple user don’t recommend but as Aswitch from galaxy I say totally
The island is a copy of LG v10 dynamic bar Yeats ago and samsungs edge bar or side bar.
i do not used a sim since i think 2020. my main sim is a e sim so for me no problem i live my life between romania and italy and i do not have a problem using just e sim on my iphone se 2020 and iphone 13
Removing the SIM is a big hack, back home in South Africa carriers charge roughly 2 dollars every month for the priviledge of using an esim device - there's literally no reason other than "you have no choice but to constantly subscribe to us or your device won't work"
Maybe someone can come up with a device that relays carrier networks to your phone and can you can add physical Sims to that device, I'm already carrying a power bank, why not integrate that kinda functionality into it as well?
Would also be super helpful as a person who travels to be able to keep all my different country Sims in one device and easily switch between carriers with the tap of a button (which is the dream of esim but the current implementation is greedy and trash)
Loved this video! You two make talking tech fun instead of just the same ol lame ol phone reviews. Thank you
Why cant they use transparent to get rid of the hole punch and notch and only have them show up when inn use
Austin, we want to see your 2 month review of the flip 4!
How do you charge when you are traveling?
How do you charge while using the phone for Navigation?
How do you charge phones in the airport?
Carry Pan Cake charger dongles?
Ik my friend has some weird green lines on the sides of his photos on the 13mini. Idk why since its brand new.
Still on the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it’s absolutely perfect for me!
Omg damn it why Matt? Damn jack is needed I need to plug mic, headphones and such and Id need an expensive cable, making quality worse
I recall Tech TikTok account pointing out that if Apple can do esim only in US then what's stopping them from doing USB-C only in the EU and lightning everywhere else. I'm thinking the implications of designing two different PCBs or whatever they need to do would make it not worth it.
The thing is that every single reviewer views this as a 13 to 14 upgrade and it’s not meant for that. It’s much better for people like me who were on 11-12 and wanted to upgrade. And it is an awesome upgrade with that said.
The battery is worse on the 14’s than all the 13’s
@@andrewmg121 don’t really care because I’m not talking about the 13’s
True but I wish I can wait just one more year tbh....
@@andrewmg121 that’s actually a lie I have a 14 pro max and the battery is better than the 13s
@@zaire2346 do you also have a 13 pro max to compare it to with the exact thing you did with your 14 pro max?
3:50 maybe that will be the reason for dynamic island to not MacBook in the future maybe? Notch is hiding inside of the menu bar right now so, hmm.
I miss the tick-tock upgrade cycle like 4 to 4s.. 5 to 5s.. etc..
I got rid of my 13 pro max and got the 14 pro max because I like to upgrade each year because I have that mental problem with new phones but I wish I would have kept my 13 this year
I’m keeping my gold 13 pro max forever 🥺
The dynamic island becomes part of the screen so its a full screen iphone now!
I haven't had a single issue with focus? I've taken maybe 500 photos and i don't think it's missed focus once haha
My battery on 14pro
I immediately turned off always on bc even just first day use it was draining
Days later, battery life improved but was still lacking compared to my 11promax
Decided to turn off the battery percentage indicator and for some reason that helped it so much
I use my phone for hours at a time whether it be reading, watching yt or scrolling TikTok
It lasts all day but I usually have to charge it every night
Right now the biggest drainer seems to be having full brightness
But that’s my one gripe
I have my phone on full brightness but I notice my phone choosing to dim itself depending on what app I’m on , and changing as it pleases
It’s quite annoying
Well I like to use multiple phones. Not all at once but I like the freedom of popping in my sim card to a different phone on the fly. Some days I use my iphones and some days I use my android phones. I don't like the idea of esim.
My phone is mostly for content consumption, and I don't think a dedicated pill on my screen all the time is waay more annoying than having to swipe down to see my timer( that I use maybe once every three weeks... I only hear Spotify while walking so I would use the player on the lock screen anyway.. not useful to me at all, I prefer the 14 plus.. but I want the better camera. OMG Apple you always make things so frustrating...
What i think is apple will try and make dynamic island perfect for the next few years but other companies are already trying for a under display camera
@12:01 I don't think Matt is wrong on that one. I bet the production splits and the usb-c iPhone is EU spec and the North America model goes port less (because we aren't regulating that)
6:42 Anyone know where I can find that wallapaer? Looks pretty sick!
14:37 ya, battery life is bigger then iphones on androids that have the headphone jack.
After this new update my HomePod minis are playing up its driving me nuts
Upgraded from the 11 Pro to the 14 Pro, and for that jump I’m pretty happy!
You should be.
On the E-Sim…I couldn’t care less. Other than when upgrading phones, something the E-Sim can just transfer to, I don’t think I opened my sim tray once in the last 5 years, and longer if it weren’t for the sim reader in my old 6 burning out. That can’t happen any more, so good change for longevity too.
How's the battery ???
We already had media controls in the control center 🤷♂️
If the iPhone 14 Pro with always on display gets me to at least 10% before going to bed, I’m going to use it. My current iPhone 12 Pro is at 10% by 4pm so anything better than that is a win.
Buddy my iPhone 13 Pro Max is at 50 percent at 10 pm and I can use it the next day til I get into bed again. Lol just sayin
@@KP-05 Well obv 13 pro max battery is huge
@@uhhTabby lol not really..only 29 mAh less than the 13 pro max
@@KP-05 what...
Periscope camera instead of the sim tray? 🤔🤔🤔
the z flip 4 has a silhouette of a crease in the middle so different enough to any other phone.
Was that amelia wattson on the wallpaper or am i trippin?!
Austin, I have the 13 pro max, should I just wait till next year for the 15
Yes
Probably the dynamic island takes quite some battery as well
Even after the update my iPhone 14 pro’s camera still can’t auto focus and the camera just shows blur footage.
Great content. It seems like apple is trying very hard to be like samsung, with it's always on display. Lock screen. But no matter how hard they try. They'll never be able to customize there phone's to make it your's, not what there willing to (let) you have. Good lock is a game changer.
I have an s22 ultra and have always had samsung but I do actually like where apples going. It seems like they're customization is starting to get better. And as small as the change with the hole punch and dynamic island makes the phone look and probably feel a lot better.
@@joeyp1212 i still prefer punch hole way better tbh
I kinda agree, dynamic island is a gimmick like Siri was at launch. Watching landscape video takes more space than the notch ever did. Transfer speeds are still abysmal at USB 2.0 speeds which makes shooting at full 48mp garbage and useless to transfer.
These guy said that the dynamic notch looks good. Strange there’s no notch in the middle of the phone that gets bigger looks good.
Headphone jacks are necessary I have the issue where I can only have one Bluetooth device connected at a time and which means I can't have headphones all the time but they are necessary.
Not having a sim card slot is ridiculous. So you are okay with Service providers having power over you?
9:51 Damn why you gotta do the homie like that
I have an 11 and might just upgrade to the 13 at the cheaper price. don't really see a reason for the 14 right now.
I just upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 14 Pro, and it feels WRONGGG 😭
My issue is buying a Factory Unlocked iPhone 14 Pro Max USA Model is not having a Sim Card Slot
They’re jus good to look at. Speaking as someone who has the iPhone 14 pro max
I’m on a 6s right now and just ordered the 14 pro, I hope it doesn’t suck like your title says.
I made the same move last weekend. You'll be surprised how heavy it is, but you get used to it pretty fast. It's weird getting used to the new navigation too, but once you do it's pretty nice to use. Overall I'm happy with mine. 6S was an amazing device for a long time, but I'm glad I finally upgraded. I wonder if this one will have the same longevity.
@@Crushenator500 Yeah the 6 lasted me many years, so the 14 should be the only phone I need for a very long time.
I've been using a 6s for 6 years too and I‘ll order a 14 pro as soon as it launches in my country. I‘ll probably have to look up a lot how to use the phone, because phones have developed tremendously since the age of 6s and I literally don‘t know how to operate the current ui. I also plan to use the new phone as long as possible
I bought a 13 pro max 3 weeks ago specifically because i knew price increases incoming. I dont game on my phone so dont really care about this, also they didnt have the colour i wanted (sierra blue)
I haven't had any issues with always on and battery life and I'm personally loving my 14 Pro Max. Now the regular 14, not much of an upgrade
I feel ever since the 16 update the battery life became a problem and I’m in a 12pro max worst thing to do is update your drvice
Hey there from Germany... I can also use E-Sim
That's y I switched S23ULTRA 🔥🔥🔥 & not going back💯
Nice choice
so for myself I'm upgrading from the iPhone 11 non Pro to a 14 Pro and it's gonna be a big bump in power, resolution and camera. Those for me are worthwhile upgrades. I don't see it being worthwhile if you have a 12 Pro or especially as 13 Pro but I don't see much benefit in upgrading a phone every single year. You get minimalist gains vs if you wait 2-3years before upgrading and given the price difference between the 13 Pro and 14 Pro is $100 I might as well get the newest tech available and hope it lasts longer not to mention if I was to get the 13 Pro why wouldn't I instead save $100 on top of that and simply get the regular 14 since it's the same chip and everything. I don't see much of an argument for those upgrading from older gens to get the previous years model instead of just getting the newest. If the price difference was greater I would definitely give it more thought but there isn't a lot of incentive to get last years model right now imo.
The 13 pro still has 120hz and the regular 14 doesn’t and it has a triple camera setup while the 14 only has a dual camera. Also there’s no 1tb model or pro raw photos on the regular 14. So either get the 14 pro or save and get the 13 pro or wait for the 15 pro so you get usb c also and even better battery life
@@darkhaven9119 i literally said i got the 14 pro
You should review the new TMobile revvle 6 pro 5g
Removing the SIM tray makes space for a periscope lens.
Shaks🤣
Love this.
Honestly, if apple opted out for USB C, than that’s just one less accessory they would have to manufacture. Than again, they gave the mantle for adapters to Anker; but they still make adapters… so… idk
I went from a 12 to the 14 pro max and I’m loving it. Do I think there are places it could be better, yes, but I’ve been cramped in many ways with the 12 for a a couple years. I only had 64GB of storage, which was limited, the battery life was disappointing, and I just kept on having really random issues with the device overheating, the phone saying there was liquid in my charging port when it was nowhere near liquid, it just became a hassle, so having a new phone that remedies these issues feels nice, and the battery had been phenomenal for me so far. I have very long days, and being able to get through them on a full charge without using low power mode has been really nice
BOSS Rainbow Mountain, I think, is the best Japanese canned coffee. I have tried a lot of them and this is the best. No horrible after taste.
To me and always on display is like having a digital clock always running you always need to unplug it and then plug it back in so then it doesn’t overheat especially burn down your house because it’s constantly on its kind of the same thing or on a TV if it has background with the TV just with the clock on that still drains power because your TV is still on It’s the same thing do you always on display would only be on your TV or whatever or the time when your TV goes off if you’re not watching it after a while it was just show the time with a bunch of photos in the background as like a screensaver it’s basically the same thing you would only turn it on and use the feature if you’re not using your device or your TV and then when you get back into the room after a couple minutes and turn it back on and use it or you use the controller or whatever and it won’t turn back on it’s just common sense the only time I see always on display useful is when you’re going to bed and maybe you turn it on then or you have it automatically turn on at bedtime otherwise I don’t see the use of always on display. Don’t get me wrong. It’s cool and all but you can make it Lower so it doesn’t bug you as much to the point where it does look like it’s just off and it showing the time and there are other phones as well as android phones that do just show the time so it’s the equivalent to that also what did you thinking always on display means Samsung‘s display should just be called always off display because it only shows the time it has always on in the name for Apple because it literally is always on Showing you stuff you want to see or need to see so always on is literally always on on the iPhone Apple did it the best way that’s possible because it literally is always on with Samsung’s. It’s always off technically because you get a black screen with just the time which honestly drains way more battery in my experience than it does on my 14 promax and it doesn’t even have battery percentage on that tells you a lot I only use always on display without battery percentage. I’ve never used battery percentage in my phone last pretty long, and now that I have always on display. I only use it when I go to bed and charge my phone at night, that’s it. The only way I’m able to see if my phone is fully charged is that widget on the lock screen that shows you your battery percentage so I don’t need battery percentage on my phone I can just swipe down and see it not a problem for me.
It's almost end of the day for me now, 55% on my iPhone 13 with 91% battery life. I see no reason to upgrade to 14 😁
I'm not in the US and currently only use eSim in my Pixel 6 Pro...
Upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and being using it for a week now. I feel the iPhone 14 Pro max has same battery life as my 2 year old iPhone 12 Pro. Very disappointing. Have turned the aod off but still no good
Lying 💀
Not even close to what is happening with most cases, including myself. I notice a huge battery improvement coming from a 13 Pro to a 14 Pro Max. The 16.1 beta is supposedly fixing battery issues though.
Getting mine next week regardless.
If they have removed the sim trey, then they’ve unlocked so many possibilities with additional stuff inside phones. Think about it, they finally have space for a headphone jack… think about it
Yea but how could they sell you their AirPods if they bring that back? Not happening
headphone jacks are just dead in general. Such a dead horse.
You know that they fill that gap by putting a plastic block right? a literal "Plastic squared block"
@@SaltyPenguin255 you are dumb if you think that's the case
The battery issue is not iPhone 14, but an iOS 16 issue. I updated my work phone to iOS 16 (an iPhone 11) and the battery life has tanked.
