I want Steve Jobs to walk on stage with a phone that’s a piece of paper or some super-disruptive thing. I miss that.

interesting to come back to this video a year later and see so many concerns from battery life to customization all actually being addressed. it’s like apple listened lol

Crazy to see that apple actually listened to Arun when he talked about the lock screen a year later with iOS 16 AND changed up the new dynamic island design with the 14 Pros, and being able to see the battery percentage up top now

I think not being able to customize your own phone whether it would be icons, ringtone or lock screen widgets is a crime.

I personally love that my phone doesnt unlock until i swipe up, becuase I use the hidden notifications. Without the swipe there wouldnt be a difference between checking your notifications and fully unlocking your phone. But I see how having it as an option would be nice for people who dont hide their notifications

Can we just appreciate this man's editing.

Apple already put a fingerprint sensor into the iPad air last year. It was great! Why not give the users the option of both? This would definitely be an appreciated feature by myself and I'm sure many others. Especially during the pandemic as you said Arun.

If just half of the changes were addressed by Apple many people (me included) would switch to Apple and Apple would finally reach the state of monopoly they aim for for so long.

Coming back to this video now, apple actually listened to a lot of the things Arun said here. The iPhone 13 series brought better battery and 120hz, iOS 16 brought the battery percentage and better lock screen customization. Nice to see that they are giving the community what they want

I love how this video is packed full of improvements & also a few adjustments or tweaks THAT Apple could've done better at. Not forgetting including chargers, earphones used AS "saving the planet", when purchasing an Apple phone. I also loved how he used Samsung which he featured 😄

A few of the things you mentioned actually got fixed. Like being able to see battery percentage on IOS16

😹 Meatier experiences...incredible

Oh man, i'm an apple user for the last 10 years or more, and by seeing all the innovations that a lot of other companies bring to their smartphones, i'm getting bored with apple, they could do SO much more... i mean, some days ago i've seen a phone by huawei that could record slow motion videos with more than 7000 frames per second, then i found a phone by nubia that has a 165hz screen and even has side buttons for playing games, there is also the galaxy s21 with the nice stylus that works great and gives you a lot of possibilities to write or draw things. Than i look at my iphone, and yeah i can do all the basic thing with it, its great and all, but its getting boring, BORING , literally boring, seeing lots of companies showing nice stuff, and apple every year is just the same "oh look, we have the best cpu, but in the next 5 years maybe we can bring something everyone else has" . I'm currently using my iphone 11 pro max, was expecting some very nice innovation on the new designs to switch to the 12 or 13, but didn't have the feel, and if the iphone 14 doesn't come with any GREAT thing, i'm saying goodbye to apple, with my heart broken of course, because the phone is great, but they got too much in the confort zone...

Apple actually can get as the same level as all the other Android phones or even better if they listen to their user ideas. I highly agree on Arun's opinion

Great show, thank you. One more item for the list... Coming from android, the one thing that I have difficulty living with is: The ability to place icons anywhere on the screen. Any icon that you add, will go into the default arrangement, and you have to do a lot of workarounds to get ex. the camera icon on the bottom right without just filling your screen with icons until it gets to the bottom corner.
But again, great show :)

The only issue with having a fingerprint scanner in the power button would be cases that cover it and not having the cover of the power button would look unappealing.

The new iPhone 14 lineup has an always-on display and iOS 16 has a feature that allows you to customise the wallpaper and widgets. It's like apple is watching your videos and finally listening to customer opinions. Keep it up, Arun!

This guy is a national treasure to technology, keep him safe.

Making the cameras more fun is actually a great idea. It used to be fun buying an apple product… now it’s (in the most first world problem way I can say) scary

I have never used an Iphone till date and was shocked to see lack of major basic features that I genuinely love.
That T9 Dailer is must to call someone instead of going into contacts and searching for them. How it is not in IPhone till date just blown away my mind.
Few twerks and Customisations that I can make so it can be more user friendly and shortcuts.
Vibration on keys (although it sounds Childish) but it feels great when keys have some kinda of feel when you type)
And I genuinely feel that it's high time instead of talking about fake sustainable approach, mobile companies unite to make 1 single universal port for charging and earphones so 1 single type of cable can be used by everyone in the home, which has 3 to 4 phones. It will save a lot of packaging and carrying also material and what not.

Awesome channel which has become my go-to source for sincere reviews. I love Apple's phones, but the lack of a USBC port, LED message notification, and headphone jack kept me from buying the iPhone mini to replace the greatest phone ever designed, my aging Samsung Galaxy S8. The fact that existing lightning cable users will have to ditch their accessories to buy USBC ones, if Apple changes it, is not a strong argument. Cables and accessories become lost and broken over time, especially the Apple branded ones i.e. they have a limited lifespan anyway. Apple is clinging onto its licensing fees for cables which would be lost if they adopted USBC. This is consistent with Apple only doing things which makes more profit for Apple. While the ports on their mini's and laptops change annually, we will never see a USBC connector on iPhones unless they are compelled to change it.

The shape and design of the Iphone 12 and the Ipads from 2020 was what made me switch to Apple in the first place. I was tired from the rounded shapes on Samsung, the Iphone 12 series had something in its shape that was totaly (like you said) refreshing, and my hands are still uncut😊

The two biggest things holding me back from ever going back to iPhone are USB-C and third party app downloads

he's just roasting apple with respect

I totally agree with points 10, 6, 5, 3. Rest I don't mind much, but wouldn't be offended by it. I tend to get angry at Apple that often they don't make something so much better by doing something pretty small and the reason eludes me.

Also one really important feature Apple needs to add is specific custom app locks, like photos, or Messenger, Whatsapp with a digit pattern.

I tried to upgrade from my SE to a 7 but I hated how I couldn’t physically push down the home button so I went back, can’t imagine how much I would hate not having a home button at all.

Love the production values, the extra hand, the dropping the phones into the video, (how does he do it without it dropping and crashing to the floor?)

I love the way the new iphones are shaped and I want them to keep making these phones, I am a new phone user and when I got presented phones from Android and Apple, and I went with Apple purely because of the rigid shape.

I actually love his general analysis of specific problems while still giving respect to apple and reverence to the good features. Nice work man.

For the mask one you can add a secondary face but you must wear the same mask each time or one that looks nearly identical. Like for example blue paper masks, if you wear those then go to settings > face id and passcode > set up an alternative appearance. Then do the Face ID set up just with the mask on.
Hope this helps anybody :)

I think the battery life is somewhat reasonable, considering that every 3 years Apple will (usually) make a large update to the hardware and the new phone will be more relevant at the time. (This is just my opinion btw)

Actually the iPhone's swipe to unlock feature after face scanning is to read the notifications which would be hidden for privacy.
And so if you don't want to unlock your phone and just read the notification this feature is useful.
Just show your face and notifications will be shown from hidden.
I didn't put this properly but try to understand.

Excellent video, 100% agreed on allowing(or giving users an option) user not to swipe for unlocking the iphone once the face has been detected. This will be a great quality of life update.

Biggest issue with iOS is that it doesn’t let you do as much. You can’t access 3rd party appstores unlike on Android without jailbreaking your phone.

Everyone's just keeps saying "Dear Apple"
But nobody says "Dear Arun"

I totally agree with you! My iPhone 6s is soooooo annoying that most probably I`ll switch to another brand for my next. And Apple didn`t care, though I told them - robots. And I lovve the way you point out the weak spots!!! Go on like this

I love this guys reviews and insight. I usually hate tech videos, but he helped me decide if I wanted to try android or stick with iPhone etc

A lot of personalization features were added in iOS 16, like haptic feedback is now an option, you can add widgets to the Lock Screen, there's an always on display on iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, which is toggle-able, we can change what the date shows instead, like the weather for example, we can change the font of the Lock Screen text, we can have multiple lock screens, and more! So, a lot of the things you said you wanted have been implemented, so that makes this video feel outdated, please make another one like this so I have more things to agree with! Thank you for reading this 2-3 paragraphs.

Gracefully saying, as an Apple ecosystem user I feel like this video have literally everything I've ever wanted in my phone and I also thought this video would also cover some flaws in Macs and iPads.

That swipe up requirement after face unlock is not wrong. Imagine if you turn on your phone to check time and it just unlocks to the home screen. It would be annoying.
But whatever, some people may want it, so developers should add an option for these type of things

Apple and Nintendo have a lot in common: they’re both very stubborn and set in their ways. Yet they both make fantastic products that sell incredibly well, garner a diehard fan base, and despite complaining we come back for more.

With regards to no.6 "make it so that you don't have to swipe up after face has been recognised", that's actually by design. It goes back to the touch ID days when people would want to look at their notifications on their lock screen, without the phone immediately unlocking and going to their home screen, so it's better to leave it that way.

With everything he mentioned he gave a great reason for Apple not to implement that feature.

Love the square edges .. the rounded sides were so droppable.
Always use Siri lol
Them not including chargers and claiming they are being environmentally friendly is ridiculous.

The last iPhone I used was the 3G and since then I switched to android and never looked back, I just love the open sour aspect and the fact I can bundle game apps into one file on the home screen for example. I picked up my wife's iPhone to use her ebay app and after scrolling through the many screens I still couldn't find it, I prefer the minimalist aspect on android. Also with android I can use console emulators such as ppsspp or the nds emulator, I can play any pokemon from the ds catalogue and with its split screen it functions surprisingly well, you can't do this on the iPhone.

I think that Apple's complicated way of doing things is on purpose. Like the way the phone doesn't just jump straight to the OS when it unlocks, you have to swipe up aswell. I think the reason behind it is, for people to not get lost in the applications, but also appreciate the OS itself. The iOS is not just a OS to allow you to do things, it's a character, it has nice animations and a beautiful clean look. If users could simply launch apps from the lock screen, like some androids do by drawing a letter on the screen, the character of the OS would get lost over time. It would go from an experience (if good or bad depends on you), to just a background system that launches apps. Apple doesn't want to be that, Apple wants its users to have an experience, to spend time with the OS to get attached to it. That's the reason why you can't just unlock straight into the OS, why you can't close all apps by one simple tap, why you can't deacitvate wifi from the quick launch. It's all small things, but these small things make you spend just a few seconds with the OS, so you know it's Apple.

Disclaimer - Apple was also rickrolled by Arun

I agree wholeheartedly especially with the limited customization, not having T9 dialing, still using lightning connectors

The battery notification thing really gets me when driving. I almost always have google maps up in a road-legal holder, and the thing covers half the screen and won't go away on its own. I just end up relying on audio instructions until I get to a red light or something so I can close it. Seems like a massive oversight

The reason I ditched iPhone and went to Samsung was the battery life, lack of battery percentage in the corner and lack of customization options. It was fine if you could jailbreak your iPhone but they put a stop to that after the 6 if I recall correctly. That and I had to pay for almost every app I used on iPhone where they're free on Android.

I think I know a somewhat explanation why Apple purposely did their FaceID issue:
Maybe on some occasions, the user might not want to fully sign into their device and only look at the time or the notifications or they might not want to reveal too much to anyone who might be sitting next to them. This is the only explanation Apple might have.

I absolutely love all the different options on my android (Huawei P10 lite).
I can kinda loose myself in different options, because I love it!

I've recently switched to iOS after 8 years on Android and I've gotta say that despite many pros of having an iPhone is unbelievable the amount of simple stuff that Apple doesn't allow you to have or to do on your phone. Not saying that iPhone are bad phones because I still don't regret my choice but in some cases I really really miss Android and the freedom it gives you.

I had an iPhone 6 for work several years ago and I loved it. I had been looking forward to go back. But there are too many compromises to make. And I agree battery is my number one. As you said today we use our phones more than our computers and that is true. I need a phone that can last heavy usage without worrying about the battery level.

What I believe with apple’s decisions is they want to make feel iPhone just different even if is not practical on a daily basis.

I think Apple is watching Aron and is adding this stuff to iOS 16 like haptics and customising on the Lock Screen

I used to love Iphones - I was fully into their ecosystem from laptops to iphone and ipad. I switched to android around 4 years ago. My wife still uses an iphone and I can't stand how boring it looks these days. No icon packs, no launchers, no gesture shortcuts still - its the most boring phone for me. At least they introduced widgets!

I can't stress the T9 dialing enough. 90% of phone calls I make, I use T9dialing. The other 10% would probably be if the app opens in the favourites tab

The thing is, Apple already knows this. What they are trying to do, is every time that they produce a new phone, they add one or two of these functions. This not only encourages more people to buy the phone, but also traps them in this cycle of always buying the latest phone.

Apple actually addressed the number one issue in this video - battery by giving iPhone pro max about 9h screen on time. Now I am really looking at what they will do with the port.

100% true about the square shape!!!! I have never heard anyone mention this or acknowledge how much of a huge mistake this was. I hold the phone horizontally a lot to watch videos or stream videos for my baby and now I have a huge notch on my finger from the square side of the phone and it’s painful now.

I got to say the video quality of the camera itself is not bad since the user can decide what quality they want to use (for example if it is in HD or not. It does allow options for the user to choose what quality they’d like to use, and surprisingly I am satisfied with it. But I have to say this annoying thing that really makes other internet devices (speaking of Microsoft desktops and laptops) take a huge advantage over Apple while shopping online is that there is an advantage of saving more by using coupons, causing a huge or small decrease on pricing. Apple doesn’t have that available on Safari which to me sounds like a big deal.

I love the sharp edges. My favourite form factor was the 5s. The rounded edges just feel plasticy and cheap.

I remember on my old Samsung S3 way back in 2013 the camera had a B&W option where you could touch to add colour to certain things, i loved that

So basically for Apple to crush Android,
It has to become ANDROID.

Great video and filled with data presented in an easy to understand way. I really enjoy this channel.
With reference to the camera and making it more fun, I’d like to see apple add a pause function to shooting videos. I didn’t know until last week that this is a standard on android ????? Making me look that way when I update my device.

For the finger print scanner I thought that they could add a finger print scanner behind the apple logo at the back of the phone but it might be hard to access since you could be using a case over it

Arun just predicted iOS 16. 😂
Also, the battery issue is something I am experiencing right now. I'm on a 12 mini. I've had it for a year and it was sitting in a shelf for the rest of it. I'm getting maybe 4 hours.

Apple makes people buy new phones by designing their battery-life to be borderline "ok".
It literally is a carefully balanced design decision, to shorten the lifespan of each product so you have to buy their new ones.

For the USB-c cable, they could just make it optional to choose either a lightning cable or a USB-C

To those who say that "It is too late now for USB-C" just remember this quote.
"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

Some things like Siri has actually gotten worse with time. And that makes me realize that even when they some years takes one huge step forward they might fall 2 step back.

That whole "fingerprint scanner in the lock key" thing was present on Razer Phone 2. It was my favorite feature of it, and I don't know why it's not on every single smart phone.

The one reason why I chose an Android phone is because of price points. I think apple would easily make way more money and capture a way bigger audience of consumers if they simply offered devices at affordable price points. I see that they are trying with the SE but for a lot of people $400 is still a lot for a phone. They could use the same type of plastic construction that the iphone 5c had and even make a "lite" version of iOS so that these less powerful phones can run just as fast as the other phones in the lineup and preserve the smooth apple experience and just price it at $200 or so and have more people enter the apple eco system than ever before and even have it become more popular in poor areas.

I haven't had an Iphone, but I can see why I would not want it. Sometimes I have gotten bored and started touching what features my phone has, and it is interesting to discover what you can do to start using and having phone, even if your phone has no games, the phone itself is entertaining. I would also add the app store, but I have not enough info about it.
Good video!

Its cool that some of these things, namely the haptic keyboard and lock screen have been fixed in iOS 16

Arun is never gonna let us down. Like never. And I bet he is not gonna give us up either

I like how he uses apple products but doesn't show any bias in his reviews or videos. There are so many techie channels on here that are biased one way or the other its nice to see an unbiased one

10:25 - They can easily add a lightning to USB-C adapter to help those users not ditch their lightning cables... but keep in mind, more macfans are complete ecosystem adopters... so they most likely have USB-C cables too!

I like the boxy shape of the I phone. I used I phones all the way back in 2010, when I was 5. The iPhone 4 felt good on my hand, when they went to the more rounded shape for the I phone 5 - 6 It felt kind of alright? I like both, but some how each phone has a different feel to it. The reason why they have the boxy shapes is because they want to stand out from any other phone. I phone is premium in a way.

I think you forgot when faceID came out it would automatically open the iPhone without the swipe. Which people had a problem with cause they didn't even get the chance to see their notifications and had to swipe down for them every damn time. We all prefer having the option to swipe up, especially me who has everything locked (as in the notification gives no info other than receiving it) since I do a lot of work from my phone that can have sensitive data until it's ready to be released.

It’s like Apple saw your video. They have taken care of Battery in iPhones 13 and Face ID works with Mask now and widgets are more dynamic. And i am sure they will incorporate more features in next updates.

Apple: interesting... Let's not add any of the points he said

as someone who is using an iPhone 7 in 2021, the six years of software updates mean nothing. you cant use software when your phone is constantly crashing and glitching, half of your apps don't work, it dies in a few hours of use even with low power mode, things literally disappear from your screen (no seriously I can't tell the time or percentage or anything in that top row on my phone anymore), 75% of your storage is taken by 'systems' or 'other' (whatever that is) and everything about it is ultra slow. Apple claims they slow old phones to save battery but dude, with low power mode on I still lose 2 percent of battery for every three minutes that I'm just using my phone with multiple apps running. yknow the whole reason phones and those features are there. to be used.

I have actually been debating whether to switch to an iPhone or apgrade with Samsung.
This video is putting a weight for me not to go to Apple, but I'm still doubting 🤷
If anyone can help I'll be pleased 😘

My one problem with apple saying it’s too late to switch their lightning ports is that it’s really not. They have usb c on every other product, so even if you don’t own say a Nintendo switch, a device from a company that is like apple, in the way that they wait to adopt new tech, you still probably own a device with a usb c, and they include a cable in the box still, so if you add a cable to the new phone, it’s not really a problem

The UBS-C charger idea, I think it could be solved by making it a buying option. Offer a choice, Lightning port or USB-C

I like lightning, it’s more durable than usbc but i think apple should incorporate both ports in the phone, lightning on the bottom, and usbc on the top: with this idea you can now use wired headphones while charging your iPhone

Let's be honest, the thing we love the most about him is his voice and accent

After replacing the screen on a friend's iPhone X, I charged the battery. I wanted to see the battery percentage and realised the only way to see it is to turn on the "display battery percentage" setting in, er, settings. But I still couldn't see it. Only when I swiped down from the upper right to display the Control Center (TM) could I see the battery percentage. Instantly furious I was, thinking this just seemed like pointless fiddling on the part of Apple. And I think you made good points. Keep up the good work!

An option could be that they release a usb-c and a lightening cable version of each iphone so people with usb-c and lightening cables could use any version of the iphone.

I thinks that a good way to add icons to apple phones is to add icon packs through the App Store like messages Add-ons

It would be great if they implemented the usbc on iphones but the part of the argument saying that they should do it bc of cable clutter seems a bit much.
The cable and the brick only weigh so much and take so much space,unless you're carrying lots and lots of cables for some reason it doesn't make a real difference in that regard

10:13 I like how apple says it's too late now when Samsung used micro USB but put USB-C on their newer phones while people were a little annoyed they bought they decided to spend the like 6 dollars to get USB-C also if apple wants to make it more convenient they should include a USB-C in the box. So it's not that "it's to late now" is that they want to not be cross-compatible

Phone customization : * exists *
Apple: We don't do that here

On the topic of USB C ports, I think apple should just give a USB C to lightning converter with every iPhone. Like just a small hole in that plastic box for a small converter that just converts the lightning to USB C, so people who don’t want to convert can just keep the little rectangle

I think the reason why apple would avoid allowing or encouraging custom icons is due to the heavy emphasys apple places on applecare support. Allowing custom icons is a great way to make an experienced support advisor looks stupid. The more consistent they are, the easier it is to guide a customer.
