Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “I used nothing but iPhone for 30 days”.
So I’ve been using uh using as the iPhone here for a while. That’S an iPhone 10’s max. Did I satisfy anyone? No okay! I satisfied no one cuz, there’s everybody’s gon na say: oh, you didn’t. You understand you lights better and then the other than a flipside. Everyone’S gon na say: why would you do that? Why were you using it with so many thumbs down on the video I’m like I’m going to switch to the iPhone? It’S all crazy.
To be honest, guys, I’ve been saying it. Please hear me on this: like these things, they’re tools like, let’s not you don’t want to fly the flag. Alright, like you, don’t have to carry the torch for these brands. They just want a few dollars from you.
That’S it that’s all they care about, which is fine. If the exchange takes place, you get the value out of it beautiful. Well, let’s not pretend all right that these things have not it’s not pretended. They haven’t gotten closer and closer and close and now they’re all basically doing the same thing but like, let’s just be honest with each other.
I want to be honest, know you so I used it for a while. I went back because, like I said in the previous video I said, there’s this tough part about covering Apple as extensively as you do Android only because they put out devices once per year and they make the only hardware for their software. So you end up covering it, but there’s one point in a year and then the rest of the year you’re constantly interacting with all these various Android devices and switching between, and I think a lot of iOS people feel left out in the content, because it’s only Like a couple weeks that I’m even on this device typically so I went back to it a little revisit, and now this is kind of my report, my you know the mid-game halftime report, it’s a great phone. It’S fine, like the cameras, good iOS, is fine.
I could live on it like it’s really, not a problem. I could easily live my life on either platform, iOS or Android never know fully into the iMessage thing. Just because my life is is full of different people on different messaging apps. So when people say to me, I can’t possibly leave iOS because of iMessage like that, doesn’t really apply to me.
I got people on text. I got people in whatsapp. I got people in slack. We talked in slack in the studio because we’re new we’re we’re a startup when you’re a startup.
You got ta talk on slack, so I don’t want my platform to tie me down to a particular messaging app. I just don’t like that concept. Otherwise, everything else maps over the app experiences are very similar. Now, of course, once upon a time, I felt that there was a real advantage in the iOS app experience is compared to Android.
That’S less the case now camera wise. I liked it. I like this phone, but it wasn’t like pixel esque for me now this is subjective. This is your own personal taste.
It’S a really good camera still for a smartphone and we’re talking about tiny little slivers of potential difference and potential taste differences and so forth. The knotch you can see, I have a black background, so I still didn’t like this notch. I never fully embraced it face idea I lived with, but I put a black background to diminish the significance of the knotch. That’S one of the things that I’m excited to experiment using something notch less. You could probably guess where I’m going from there, but there’s one thing: one painful thing for me on this particular device: it’s the notification system, man I just this – could be exclusive to me and I’ve talked about in the past. I get a lot of notifications likely some of that has to do with the fact that a lot of people you know tweet at me, and even though I have stuff turned off, do not disturb my notifications. Page is such a disgusting nightmare most of the day and I’m scrolling down and I’m clicking X’s, and I guess I manage. I didn’t realize Android how much of my life I’m actually I’m actually managing in the notification pane and how I’m looking for efficiencies within notifications, to get more done right within notifications without going somewhere else, and I still feel like as much as Apple has improved.
It’S still not on the same page, and it’s the one thing that when I cross between platforms that I notice and it’s the most glaring now there are some nice things I did mention air pods. I find air pots to be very convenient and pairing them on an iOS native device. Super easy to do so. Seamless you get to skip a step compared to the Android counterpart, so nothing wrong with the phone lots of people happy with the phone. It’S fine! Okay! It’S just fine bottom line, but of course things have moved on things have progressed, and so it’s time to flip over.
That’S a recap on my experience for the record. I should just say I feel like since we do have the camps and you do have the warfare and you do have the back-and-forth iOS is better more secure privacy, argument, ecosystem argument and then on the Android side. It’S more open, configurable, like whatever this whole back and forth scenario that goes on.
I want it to be clear at this point that no matter which phone we’re talking about modern flagship device in 2019, they are more similar than different, ok. So the idea of screaming about it, the idea of the the petty arguments, the personal attacks – it really it’s it’s not only does they not make any sense, but it’s it’s. It’S kind of stupid like it doesn’t actually apply like it is. There’S no there’s not much of a point to be made there coming from a guy who uses all this stuff and gets on with it and gets on with life and does just fine. So anyhow, that’s the phone most requested. This is what people want me to switch to, and it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people actually felt that I didn’t go in-depth enough on this.
Guy, like a lot of people, were like hey Lou. We want more information where, as a review was a long-term usage scenario, of course, it’s the one plus seven Pro tons of attention on this device, a lot of fans for this device. Specifically, yes, it’s expensive comparative to their previous versions, but arguably you’re getting more. It’S a notch list design, like I said, latest chipset inside one of the things I’m gon na miss I’ll. Tell you straight away wireless charging again not worth arguing over.
I understand you get much faster charging without wireless, but like it’s one of those things, it will be nice to have. Why not have it I’m still kind of mad about it, but anyway I’ll move on I’ll get past it. Another area of concern for me is right here on the back on the camera. I heard that they’re gon na look at that finish, though holy moly on camera that looks wild nebula blue here in the camera Department on a previous version, one plus 60.
I went ahead and installed the Google camera app loaded, the apk on there and saw improvements in the camera performance, so I think a lot of this has to do with software. But if you watch the original video on this, I wasn’t super impressed with my initial tests on a camera – oh not the most friendly there on the contrast it blew out my cheek plus to me now it’s kind of in the premium territory. I understand the prices, not a thousand dollars, but it’s creeping ever closer and when you look at the spec list – and you look at the experience and you look at the user experience and in fact that many people are saying this is the fastest phone out there. With the 90 Hertz display and a snapdragon 855, it’s like yeah call it a flagship call it what it is so anyhow it’s the switch is happening now, and I should mention at this point that I’ll probably follow up with this.
To a certain extent, I’ll do some check-ins I’ll do some follow. Ups I’ll, take your questions on this transition and specifically on the one plus seven Pro relating to certain issues. I’Ve already started to catalogue a few of the questions and concerns, but I’ll continue to take more and likely address them on the second channel, with the more discussion based format, that’s the loo later channel, which, if you haven’t checked it out I’ll link it down in The description and if you do have questions specific questions about this, you can hit up Willy. Do he will I mean he’ll, try to go through them, they’ll try to curate them.
It’S will at Lew later calm I’ll link that in the description as well – and you can hit him up and then hopefully he can surface the best questions to me on that show so make sure to do that. Okay, so here we go SIM card tray and the sim is in oh they’re, all right. There we go Jack, it’s official. The sim is in I’m back on Android for now, like it’s, no fanfare, nothing to celebrate all right, just saying about the fanboys situation.
This is uh. This is just life in the fast lane in the tech game on YouTube use. It all appreciate it all make the comparisons, that’s where I’m at in 2019. Let’S do it. .
