iPhone 14 Pro (Kinda) Sucks

– The apple iphone 14 kinda sucks. – Whoa, whoa! Is that just how you'' re beginning the video?- Every one of our analysts
is simply gon na resemble, “”( chuckles) Naturally it
is, it'' s an Apple product.” (boom) “” Just obtain another thing that'' s Android.” – A Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, perhaps? – Or wait. – Wait, Matt, are we twinning now? (Matt sighs) Are we twining with Z flips? – Twinning! We'' ve been using the iPhone 14 Pro, specifically, you as well as me. – [Austin] Yeah. – For you recognize, concerning a week now. – Yeah. – And also we have thoughts and- – Allow'' s speak about this from the perspective, this is not a review.Youtube.com/

mkbhd exists, as does Denki. Both are wonderful videos on the apple iphone 14 Pro. However I believe for this video- – It'' s extra simply like – Allows talk about it.- What our experiences have been. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in my viewpoint, the apple iphone 13 Pro was a fantastic device. Terrific video cameras, excellent display, 120Hz, exceptional battery life. There was truly absolutely nothing wrong with the 13 Pro. You come to the 14 Pro, and also currently we'' ve bid farewell to the notch, as well as hello to the dynamic island.We ' ve

obtained ourselves an always on display screen, which absolutely drains pipes battery. And also we'' ve obtained an upgraded cam system, which it'' s virtually a side quality because like, specific'times, yes, it ' s better, yet also certain times I really feel like I ' ve been having focus problems. Some of the shade and also the processing, I seem like is a little various due to the fact that they'' ve totally altered their back end to the Photonic Engine. It'' s an unusual upgrade this year, I believe. -Allow ' s begin with the elephant in the area: the vibrant island. Or should I call it the dull-lamic island? – What? You can not say the dull-namic island. – Dull-namic island. – Hit me, why don'' t you such as the dull-namic island? – So, I wan na be very clear that when they revealed off the island in the, you recognize the keynote, whatever we'' re. calling it these days.

– The event. – The occasion, the event. I do totally believe that the way that they'' ve incorporated, is the very best method to
. incorporate like, a notch, a hole strike, anything. A couple other Chinese brands have currently promptly.
began duplicating it. It looks truly excellent on, no.
issue, kind of, where it is. But the effects has.
been really weird to me. Due to the fact that, alright, sure. Like, songs functions great on it, but you understand what'' s dumb? – What ' s that? -Notifications don ' t usage it.
Like, notices still. jump down listed below the island. There ' s a wasted line of pixels. when you get a notification.So currently, where the notch was, it ' s a good like, quarter of the display, which is then occupied by, between the alert,. the dynamic island, and
after that this like,'the. sort of No Man ' s Land that ' s over the island.
Why would notices. not increase out from that like every various other point else? – I assume it could just be.
because the vibrant island, like, the components that.
they can'' t job around, which is the opening punch.
as well as the little tablet. – That'' s square in the center. So, if you wished to place like,.
notice text up there, you would have to such as put it off sideways or something.My thought is that the vibrant island this is extremely much the variation 1.0.- Yeah. Look, like, they ' ve obtained like. a very strong, like, core. My bet, is that next.
year when we see iphone 17, the dynamic island will.
transform right into a vibrant … tropical paradise. – So like, alright, we'' ve. discussed this a lot. And I'' ll just sort of, provide. you my ideas once again on. I know full well, why Apple.
is opting for the pill, versus like, a hole punch, whatever. Because when you have like, a shape of a phone, like an icon.You couldn ' t quickly'look.
as well as say, that'' s an iPhone. If you have like the, the opening punch, it'' s like, oh, is that a Samsung? Is that a Xiaomi? Is that a whatever?- Is that a Z Flip 4 in your pocket? – You can'' t, like, the. silhouette you can'' t tell. And that ' s totally a branding thing. It has nothing to do, like, that is totally create over feature. As well as that'' s type of what Apple ' s all about. That'' s like, why they introduced, I believe, the notch to such as, the MacBook pros. Like, I guarantee we'' re. gon na see the island in MacBook in the, in the next refresh.

– I would not be extremely surprised. – Like, it'' s, that ' s, they. wan na keep things concise.
Whatever. – Yeah. -Cool, great. – [Both] Whatever.- However, the notch like,. was since it was so static, you simply forgot that it was there within secs of using it.
Yet you are really conscious that. the vibrant island exists. You recognize, we fire in 16 by 9. Individuals ask constantly, can we please enter into like,. 18 by 9 facet ratios? We used to do that.
Yet after that it was like really. irritating, manufacturing smart. So we returned to 16 by 9. – Yeah. – And also like, all the content.
I take in is 16 by 9. You understand, when you have a phone that is not a 16 by 9 phone, it'' s gon na get letterboxed, anyhow. That'' s why I never ever truly cared.
whether it was a hole strike, where, absolutely nothing, because.
all that'' s reduced off. If someone that'' s seeing, virtually exclusively YouTube web content, and also they have individuals who.
are posting in 2 to 1, I see that being a big issue. And also. – That'' s a very particular niche.
type of instance, though.Isn ' t it?- Based upon what I ' m seeing from. people speaking regarding online, it ' s a lot more widespread than. I think, you as well as I think.
– I think the method that Apple.
have done the dynamic island, is typically an advance, right? Due to the fact that before, that.
notch was simply dead room. As well as now there are points you can do. I like the ability to, you.
understand, have my songs up there. There'' s cool points that'. they ' re doing there. I concur, it ' s not fully expanded. Yet it comes back to type. of, my first point of, such, the 13 Pro was basically the perfect tool, right? They had taken all their.
concepts, the notch, face ID, all the stuff, they'' d taken.
it to its sensible conclusion.Now they ' re

type of tossing. a few of that out with the 14, and also they ' re beginning the following wave, where I bet, two, three years from currently, we'' ll claim, oh, this is the. variation of the vibrant island that is kind of perfect as well as refined. But we place'' t seen that.- I miss my 13. In truth- – Whoa, do you truly? – Actually, I missed my. 12 mini, for the document. -Yeah, I miss out on the Mini.
– For the document. Walk me through. So you locate yourself a. week right into the'iPhone 14, missing the 13.
– Yeah.- Why, what ' s incorrect with it?- So, it ' s not like. all the time distinction.
– [Austin] Certain.- The battery life has. been significantly worse. Despite having switching off constantly on display'.
– Oh, actually? Interesting, okay. -Like, I ' m not the only. one who ' s saw this.
Like, many people stated,” “I ' m turning this off because the battery. life is a lot even worse.” Battery ' s never ever been a problem for me, also
when I had the the mini. As well as I wan na be clear that. battery ' s not an issue

for me. -However you notice it ' s a downgrade.- Yet I notice a difference. When I would go as well as lay down in bed, normally around 11 o ' clock during the night. – That ' s a great time, great job. -I go to bed early, I ' m an old male. -[ Austin] Very same.- My routine hasn ' t. transformed, but I return as well as I
possibly have like. 30, 40% left on the day'. And now when I'' m mosting likely to set

, I ' m having possibly like, 20%. My battery is in fact claiming like, “hi there, you ' re gon na die soon.” (bell chimes) – (laughing) Whoa,.
wait, rephrase that. – Yeah, I didn'' t phrase that wonderful. Allow me place, with the 13, I quit scrolling.
TikTok when I wished to. Currently, with the 14, I'' m scrolling TikTok, I have to finish when my.
phone tells me to finish. Because the battery is dying. – So, what you'' re stating
is. the iPhone 14 is a renovation as well as it ' s aiding you.
live a healthier life. – Once again, it'' s not a large. all the time distinction. – [Austin] Okay, fine. – But like, it is, I do.
think it'' s a downgrade. As well as if the remedy is,.
shut off always on screen, Well, that'' s a selling factor to the phone. – I will say, the.
always-on display, for me, is still really upsetting.
'' cause it ' s like, I maintain assuming my phone display gets on. – It is weird to me. – I assume it'' s among those. things where I obtain the suggestion that this is something that.
if I spend adequate time, I will certainly obtain made use of to, yet.
I'' m still in that stage, like, oh my phone'' s not locked.Oh they'' re like, I ' m like frequently, like hitting the power switch.'Cause I ' m not certain. -[ Matt] Yeah. Is that always on or otherwise? And the thing is
, if'you. put on ' t like it, you can turn it off as well as it will offer you. some battery like saving. -That is the actual, like, that is one
of the new selling factors to. a 14 versus like I say, a 13. -[ Austin] Yeah.
– So like to claim like, oh,. just transform off this feature. That feels like brief changing. Returning to the battery life. I question how much the satellite, it'' s not like
you ' re regularly. connected to a satellite. -[ Austin] Exactly, right?- [Matt] Like it ' s, I ask yourself if there ' s like an, you understand, every now and then. it ' s sounding an expert, like a bit.- All I can state is, in my'limited screening of the apple iphone 14, which once more it ' s about a week approximately since shooting this video.I have directly not. saw an actual difference, but also I have actually refrained. like a full traveling day. Like for me, the primary battery test is constantly you recognize, a complete traveling day, getting up early in the early morning, mosting likely to the flight terminal, flying. – Yeah. -Mosting likely to a hotel.
Like that ' s always the. factor where I can tell like how solid a battery is, due to the fact that truthfully considering that the 13, the battery on apples iphone have been so great that it takes a travel day.
like that for it to pass away. – Yeah. – The only genuine concern I have with the apple iphone 14 Pro directly for me. – Yeah. – Is the camera. Now I know that as of.
videotaping workshop, once more, this could might alter by the time you'' re really seeing it. There is a bug where.
like the electronic camera, like, just how would certainly you explain it? – It clicks.
– Like jitters? It clicks. – It clicks, clicks. Like I, I had this taking place. In 3rd party apps, with like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, people reporting that the video camera, like the stabilization in the camera was actually like going crazy. – [Austin] That is being fixed. Apple'' s introduced they'' re. dealing with the patch

. -Yes they'' ve validated. – Really shortly. – Which like the just.
one that won'' t be repaired, in, in this patch turning up is battery. Which I still think
. can be fixed in a, a, a software application thing for optimization. – It'' s difficult to recognize what the. real the battery concern is. But also for me, the main distinction.
in between the 13 as well as the 14, is in the ultra wide as well as in.
the conventional major sensing unit. Right? So it'' s a bigger major sensing unit. You ' ve got a various ultra wide, and'additionally they ' ve redone. the processing, right. So I'' ll begin with the processing cause that'' s kind of the most. straightforward one.- Yep.
– Because they ' ve switched over. to the photonic engine, which is a completely various means that they'' re kind of handling photos, and also doing handling.
earlier in the pipeline. So they'' re dealing with the raw photos, versus when some stuff has actually been baked in, which they sort of discussed to me and also it made, it makes sense. I'' ve noticed that some pictures,
. certainly on white equilibrium, but particularly when it comes.
to such as intensity, and also whatnot, look like they'' re a little also aggressive.Part of that could be be because they'' ve obtained even more huge pixels, that'' s simply type of normally sharper. Yet to me, it'' s virtually like, often images seem.
a touch over refined, yet my larger concern has actually been with emphasis. So here, the method that the.
concentrate on any cam functions is pretty simple. The bigger the sensing unit you'' ve got, the shallow or the deepness of field, right? So, I suggest, if we look. at my angle right here you can see I'' m in emphasis. Currently'I ' m not, because the real plane.
of focus is really shallow. We fire on Sony FX3'' s, which are huge, complete sensing unit,. complete framework sensor video cameras.
Which indicates that you get that.

wonderful shallow depth of field.But the drawback is. the emphasis is really slim. Because the sensing units larger on the iPhone, it is necessarily, simply gon na. be harder to concentrate, right? Because a smaller sized shallower location is mosting likely to remain sharp.
when you were, you recognize, touching or attempting to, to take a photo. Yet to be fair, I'' ve. discovered the same problem with a lot of contemporary Android phones that have huge sensors. – [Matt] Yeah. – As well as just that if you.
miss out on focus, for example, if Matt t shirts in emphasis,.
however his face isn'' t, and you can still get a suitable picture, but'you ' ll see his face. is just a little bit blur. -Are you stating it'' s a decent picture due to the fact that my face is blurred? – I am actually stating that. – Wow. – However that'' s the point. The, I wear ' t know how much. that this can truly be addressed. Like I simply believe that, with the iPhone 14 Pro, for me personally, I am no longer simply gon na.
point as well as fire quite so much.I ' m actually gon na maybe take a 2nd, as well as faucet on a face, or faucet on a subject, since I can'' t rather depend on that it'' s actually gon na be focused. – I wear'' t like that attitude.
for a, a phone electronic camera. – However on the other side though,.
and also I will certainly provide '' em credit rating. The larger sensing unit does.
imply that some things like that superficial deepness of.
field, the ones that look nice. – No, I, I'' ve seen, where I ' ve seen it be.
far better is like, fine. I'' ve seen a great deal of like side by side examinations with like a Samsung or whatever. – [Austin] Yeah. – [Matt] It'' s like
, below ' s the.

10x on the Samsung, right here ' s.- [Austin] Oh, with the zoom.- [Matt] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Essentially I ' ve.
liked apple iphone much better, in those contrasts. A few of that additional sharpening. seems to, to do well in, for like, for the apple iphone'. Like you seeing like. pores in individuals ' s deals with. -[ Austin] Yeah. – [Matt] You enter. extra'comprehensive in this way. -It ' s stylistic option.
– Right. Which ' s, that ' s pure preference. Like it ' s, I put on ' t,. it ' s not like, I ' m like, oh, that like the, the. Samsung resembles crap.It ' s I like 10, like, oh, I like the way this honed. a little bit much more, whatever. I wan na discuss lightning as well as'USB C. – Can we simply claim that lightning sucks, and USB C is much better? That ' s all I need to claim. -Me directly, I ' m like, I don ' t actually respect lightning, but in 2015 it resembled. actually, actually recognizable. When we started seeing. ProRes on the cams.
– It ' s unusable. And also it ' s pointless to try to. transfer gigabytes of video footage over a lightning adapter. It will take for life. – As well as now this year, like, have you seen the file dimensions.
for the 48 megapixel course? – 70 megabytes, per picture.

– So even like, even if.
you'' re not doing ProRes, if you'' re simply doing basic photos, which a lot of people will, that'' s an actually big issue. This is the year, I seem like they, they, like if they were gon na.
opt for USB C whatsoever, they should have. – It'' s gon na be following year, male. I, the ultra, the iPhone. Ultra, mark my words, editor ' s note, Aaron, you can clip this and also you can reuse it in 11 months when the.
iPhone Ultra comes out. (moderate television fixed) Next year, apple iphone 15, we'' ll have an Ultra model.
that will certainly have USB C. – So I have a much even more wild take. – No port? – Yeah. With all the European guideline of, oh, we need to be USB.
C or we need to do like – [Austin] Standard. – Yeah, standardized. And also I truly wish I'' m wrong.
for on this for the document. Trigger I put on'' t, I wear ' t think. this benefits any person.
However I, I really feel like we ' re. gon na see a port-less apple iphone prior to we see a USB C one.
– Port-less is possible, however. the issue is like, alright. So once more, take me for example.
The only time I actually. make use of the port on my phone, generally speaking. – [Both] Is for CarPlay. – Which best of luck trying to. – Yeah. – Oh am I gon na have to.
use a dongle for that? – Yep. – Like perhaps I will, that'' s gon na suck. -But like, all right.- Billing every when in a while. – And also this is not me protecting.
Apple, for the record. If I'' m thinking about like, oh, I'' m, I ' m a business trying to make. all the cash on the planet, I ' m gon na make my port-less apple iphone. And afterwards I'' m gon na make. a MagSafe, a MagSafe. – To USB dongle. -To lightning dongle. So now with all the 10 billion.
iPhones I offer that year.

– Everyone'' s gon na invest that, event bus. – Everyone'' s got every person,. got ta spend that to, to use their existing devices. Look, it'' s (groan). – Yeah. – However I really feel like I. – I could see it, male. – [Both] I could see it. – And also I do think that.
that MaxSafe does have some basic data. – [Matt] It does. – A- ability. – Yeah. – It'' s a little like nebulous because they place'' t truly opened it up. Yet from some conversations I'' ve had with some accessory companies, there is some degree of data.
you might open through that. – So let'' s talk regarding the eSIM. – Yeah. – Personally, and I.
recognize, once more, this is not one of the most popular point of view on eSIM.I assume this is a terrific action. – Woo, gang. – And also yes, it'' s bothersome. for some people. – For practically everyone.- I, I wear ' t think it is. Going from apple iphone to.
apple iphone, is is very easy. Do I believe it draws right now? Yes. Do I assume the action is excellent long-term? Likewise yes. Great or negative, Apple is a pattern.
setter for the market. What they do. – Yeah. – Everybody else complies with. What'' s gon na happen is, Samsung ' s gon na make a pair assault advertisements, where they'' re like, “Oh, our phones feature SIM trays.”” And after that next year the, the, their phones are not gon na have SIM trays. If all the, all the phone.
suppliers stop making trays, that means providers are gon na.
need to hop on board with it. One misconception is.
that if you have an eSIM, that there'' s no SIM
at. all, there in fact is. There ' s simply,
it ' s simply.

incorporated right into the phone.But when you don ' t have the SIM tray, you open a great deal of.
possibilities for exactly how you can act, like for exactly how producers.
can actually stuff elements right into there. Due to the fact that- – Unlike what they'' ve done currently is that they'' ve eliminated the.
SIM on the united state apple iphone. As well as it'' s just an empty area. -Right. Now, right. Yet now believe about it next year when all of them put on'' t have it, that might be an additional 10% battery life. Like, that'' s why I don ' t like the disagreement that a lot of individuals had of simply like, “Oh, well this phone, it ' s thick sufficient to have an earphone jack.”” It'' s not just the thickness of the jack, earphone jacks are pretty long. – Yeah. – And that'' s a great deal of, that ' s. a great deal of inner room thrown away on the headphone jack. – Sure. – So like while yeah, it sucks, a great deal of people like utilizing headphones.Look at battery sizes over the in 2015 given that headphone jacks have actually disappeared. They ' ve gotten a lot bigger.- [Austin] Yeah. – Which'' s a big reason for it.- My main interest in.
the eSIM point is that you'' re putting even more power.
in the hands of service providers, who perhaps wear'' t have your. benefit at heart constantly. You understand, particularly when it.
involves changing in and also out. And also undoubtedly it'' s not like. it ' s impossible to switch eSIM, from one to an additional. However like these systems are Byzantine. They'' re ancient. They'' re difficult. As well as while of course, eSIM works type of alright. It is really just in the U.S. As well as I assume there'' s a reason.
why just the united state iPhones dropped the SIM graph- tray. I believe it is gon na be a very.
long period of time before carriers around the world are completely aboard with this. -You have to obtain the sphere.
rolling eventually, and- – Yeah yep, yeah. Which'' s plainly what Apple are doing. – Right, right.

– They'' re trying to force it through. I, I comprehend. – And like, I, like, I.
think it will certainly improve. It, I agree that it sucks today. Exactly how numerous people have claimed.
like, oh man, I'' m so mad that they got rid of the eSIM? Now I can'' t placed like an. global SIM in there. – Yeah. – And after that they'' ve never.
left their hometown. Once more, this only results united state phones.I wan na keep that in mind. – For now. – Like, you understand, like, yes,
there'' s a lot of people, that require to have global SIMs, yet they can just obtain
a global iPhone. You can go and get the
Canadian iPhone, which. – There'' s insufficient flexibility because one.

( eagle cawing) Are you on board with my concept that the iPhone 14 is actually
an apple iphone 15, like, like. – Every phone, is- – It feels specifically
solid this year that like, they checked half right stuff
to go put in the apple iphone 15. – Yeah. – Going down the SIM card by really, really focusing
on the vibrant island. – I, I do. – By getting the larger
cams and also whatnot. – I do concur with you. And also that'' s why I believe we
need to, to go back to, this is a 13S. I suched as that calling framework better. – Aren'' t you all set though? For the iPhone following year to have a cam bump
that resembles a Pixel. I'' m telling you it'' s gon na happen. Where else I gon na place that,
that Periscope video camera. – This gon na be the entire big point. – It'' s gon na be a whole huge thing, but you know what? Let us recognize what you assume
