Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPhone X vs iPhone 8? Ask MKBHD V20!”.
Hey what is up guys, mkbhd here and welcome back to the q, a series i didn’t forget about this one. It is pretty late in september, but it is still september, which means we have time to do the monthly q a this is actually number 20 ever so, as usual, i asked you guys on twitter what you wanted to know what you wanted to know, and there Were plenty of questions and i have to say right off the bat, the number one most asked question there was like 2 000 questions asked this time about. Half of them were just iphone 8 versus iphone 10.. So obviously iphone 8 is out right now. Iphone 10 is out in another couple weeks, uh the majority of the questions. Even questions like in real life are like. Should i wait? Is there anything really new about iphone 8? I don’t want to spoil too much of the review.
That’S about to come out for this phone, but i actually really do like it a lot and there’s some things that people were kind of underrating about it that are new, specifically the power and the cameras, but i’ll cover all that in the full. Video bottom line is yeah. I’M gon na wait for iphone 10..
If i’m buying, i want the best iphone. Iphone 10 seems like that best iphone. What is your all-time? Favorite video you’ve made uh. I don’t have a good off-the-cuff great answer for this. There’S a lot of really fun videos. I’Ve made the one that comes to mind right away. Is the project love day video that we made that it was only a 90 second video? But i don’t know if i’ve told you about the entire behind-the-scenes process that video took several days to make.
In fact, i definitely did tell you that before, but seriously that was a lot of fun and the fact that i ended up winning the contest was a super big bonus. What are your thoughts on porsche’s upcoming mission e and i guess, is it a tesla rival? So i’ve read a couple articles about this thing. Uh and i’ve also read a bunch of articles about other companies that are making an electric sedan or some electric sporty looking car. I think ideally yeah.
This ends up being a tesla rival because they’re so similar if it ends up being real at all, it is another electric car, that’s in roughly the same price point as tesla model s, but tesla’s so far ahead in that electric car market they already have all These superchargers everywhere they already have the clout the mind, share, that’s going to be hard to catch, but at the same time it’s porsche. Porsche has a lot of mind, share and clout and people like them – and this is a really good, looking car. So if they could attack some of the places where people find tesla model s to be like weaker, like the interior porsche tends to do really nice interiors, then i think they’ll have something going for him, but until then it’s still playing catch up. Would you go on first, we feast hot ones if invited well.
Of course. Yes, if you get invited to do a show like that and to clear the wings with sean evans, you of course accept the offer. The question is, would you embarrass yourself if you like? Don’T finish all the wings, i don’t actually know, i think i’m pretty good with hot food, but i’m not sure here’s the interesting one. How did you and the rest of team crispy meet so generally? I think the the first time a lot of us met was online, so it’s not really. It doesn’t count as meeting each other. The first time i ever met austin evans – i remember – was i’m gon na forget which phone it was, but it was a samsung galaxy s launch event.
It was probably galaxy s3 launching in new york city. We both went to the launch event, and it was we just walked into a restaurant, we’re like oh, hey, you’re, that other youtuber we’ve collabed with. What’S up good to see you in person – and i think a lot of us do end up meeting at these tech events, whether it’s a samsung event or lg, or whatever they’re, just hosting a bunch of people who are doing similar things like tech, press and tech. Youtubers, so that’s a lot of where we meet for the first time. How many views did you get on your very first video in the first 24 hours of uploading, probably probably like 12.? Probably i would say, if i put an over under at like 15, i would take the under. Do you think face id will be able to replace touch id in terms of real world usage? So that’s actually kind of a question that i would have for apple, because if you think about it i mean i’m sure they want it in iphone 10.
I’M sure they wanted to have touch id underneath the glass that fingerprint reader that everyone’s used to in the same place just under the glass, but they didn’t. They didn’t get that in time. So they ended up working really hard on the front-facing sensors to make face id as good of a replacement as possible and as as far as we know, it’s actually better, it’s more reliable.
It’S more consistent. It has a lower failure rate it’s harder to trick. So, ideally, this is actually a good replacement, but what if, next year, they actually do get the technology in the iphone 11 or whatever? It ends up being to put touch id back underneath the glass? Does that mean we go back to touch id and we just forget about face id even happening or do we keep both but prioritize face id because it’s better but also offer that, like state of the art favorite reader, what do they do? That’S a that’s literally something i would want to ask apple. I guess we’ll just have to wait a year or so to find out. Do you ever get disappointed by your youtube analytics now we now have fingerprint sensor facial recognition and iris scanner on smartphones. What do you think will be the next step, you’re right, that is a lot of like body information like a lot of biometric data, to secure your phone next thing.
You know they’re gon na be like listening to your heart rate, to oh wait: why do they skip the new gold color in iphone x or uh? 10. Iphone. 10.. I keep saying i don’t know if i’ll ever really get used to saying iphone. 10. First of all, i keep saying iphone x because it’s an x, it’s going to say x on the box, i’m going to look at it and say iphone x. Actually, i even remember at the event when we first went out to that hands-on area and they had all those apple employees like holding up the phone waiting for people to shoot videos of it and photos of it. You could ask them questions and stuff, and i remember i asked one of them, a question and i said: hey on iphone x, can you and before i even finish the question. They interrupted me and said it’s the 10., like i think they were told to actively correct these pressed people who were talking about the phone to make sure they say 10, not x anyway, why they skip the gold color uh.
I think i don’t know. I think there will be more colors of iphone later down the road this year, like they came out with that red iphone halfway through the cycle last year, maybe they’ll introduce a gold iphone 10 in a couple months. Who knows my real question with the iphones? Is this new space gray? Why is it always a different color? It seems like every space gray apple product is different from every other space gray apple product.
Even though they’re all space gray apple literally got to invent their own color name here, but they made them all a different color. It kind of ruins the name reachability on the iphone 10 fiasco or not, i think, you’re, referring to like the double tap of uh. Like being able to bring the screen halfway down, that’s called reachability on iphone 8 iphone.
7 iphone. 6S. All the big phones yeah, that’s not as far as we know, gon na happen on iphone 10. there’s no home button, so there’s no place to double tap. To bring the screen down – and i talked about it in my second video about that phone – that it’s it’s a big screen, so it’s gon na be kind of hard to reach. Uh, that’s something to consider.
I don’t know if that’s a huge deal for people, it’s not gon na, be like reach gate or anything crazy like that, but yeah. This is a bigger screen, something they’re gon na have to get used to, and he plans to have a video test driving an owner’s model 3 hoping so love your videos. Thank you, patrick and yes, i think it’s about that time. Where now people who are outside of tesla, who who aren’t employees, are going to be starting to get their model 3 orders in? So let this be a psa if you are a future or about to be current model – 3 owner, that’s also in the northeast new york city area.
That’S also willing to let me shoot a video about your car hit me up on twitter link below wireless charging for teslas when yeah, i don’t so i’ve seen uh i’ve seen some concepts about wireless charging for cars. The thing about wireless charging is, it loses it’s not very efficient. First of all, your phones, our phones, already get pretty warm when we put them down on like a wireless charging pad and they don’t charge as fast, because they’re losing some of that charging to heat dissipation trying to charge a car very quickly is already kind of A big deal people want their cars to charge fast, but even in your garage i can’t imagine heat not being a really big problem there. I was super charging this weekend on a road trip and it was really hot this weekend it was about 95 degrees. So the car thermometer said 109 degrees when it was on that asphalt and it was plugged in and trying to unplug the car. It was hot to the touch and that was just from being plugged in so wireless charging being like somewhere near the car and trying to transmit energy. That doesn’t seem like a great idea, maybe in the future, maybe in 20 years, but not right now. Now that you have a main gear pc will we ever see a pub g stream from you? Maybe with sam sheffer, hey, you know what i’m sure sam would be willing and i haven’t so i’m not a big shooter gamer type, but this machine makes me want to be i’m thinking, we’ll organize some sort of live stream where i’m actually trying to game, but Obviously, the best games i’m at are driving games and like sports simulation type games, but i’ll give pubg a shot, because it’s so hot right now, and also because that main gear pc is so hot right now link to the battle station post below it’s kind of Lit but yeah that’s pretty much it.
I think. That’S where we’ll end it. This has been q, a number 20 and, of course, the september edition it’s about to be october. So, of course you know, there’s gon na be more questions.
If you have any others feel free to leave them in the comments below i’ll hang out there for a bit hit me up on twitter, i get back to those, but that has been it. Thank you for watching talk to you guys, the next one peace .
