Welcome and follow me. I have the brand new iPhone 15 plus and today I'll go
0:04
over unboxing along with a quick look at this device. So let's just get straight into it. Now we do have these nice pull tabs at the back
0:17
We yank those off and here we get the... is that supposed to be white or like mint color
0:26
Not exactly sure but whatever it is I'll just peel that off
0:34
Then we get a cable. It is a braided cable which is pretty nice and another
0:39
difference here will be that both ends now are type C. So yeah Apple got spanked into
0:45
submission and now they have to add type C to their devices till they remove the charging port
0:52
altogether. Any case next we got the design by Apple in California
1:01
Somewhere here should be also written manufactured by little children Africa but I guess they forgot about that one. Anyway I'll just close this and start with the
1:12
device. So let's start off with the display. It is a 6.7 inch display with a resolution of 1290
1:25
by 2796 pixels. It is also Super Retina XDR OLED display like honestly they just needed to say that
1:34
it's an OLED display because the rest of the mumbo-jumbo literally means F all. So it's not
1:42
even HDR10 plus certified for some stupid reason. I guess certification for Apple was too expensive
1:48
to get. So if you're not aware HDR10 is just what basically everyone can slap on. Well HDR10 plus is
1:57
a certification that devices need to meet certain requirements. It is something that manufacturers
2:03
would need to pay to get. So Apple decided that they're gonna sell you an expensive device without
2:07
even giving a single hoots about this and not providing it. Now to be completely honest this
2:12
device should classify as a HDR10 plus certified device without much of a problem. After all peak
2:19
brightness on here is 2000 nits. So the display right here gets stupidly bright. Now moving on
2:28
we have 88.0% screen to body ratio with 460 pixels per inch and also we have in terms of
2:38
the glass right here what they're calling ceramic shield glass. I have no idea how strong it is and
2:45
how it compares to for instance things like Gorilla Glass Victus or stuff like that so I can't really say anything about it. Now moving on we're gonna move into the internals. So this
2:56
device even though it's a pretty big device it's thin but it's big. It's a 6.7 inch display so
3:06
it only comes with a 4383 mAh battery. Devices this size have like 5k battery
3:17
Why does Apple cut off like 20% of the battery out for no reason
3:29
Bugles the mind. Anyway moving on apart from the battery if we look at the charging speeds right
3:35
here again Apple and their infinite wisdom won't give you the actual numbers because they're
3:39
absolutely pitiful to be completely honest. This device apparently on a wired cable charges to 50
3:46
in 30 minutes which presumably puts it about like what 22 watts wired charging for a device that
3:52
costs what 900 dollars so maybe a thousand even so it is a pretty bad charging speed for a device
3:59
of this price range like although I take that back this exists the Fold which charges at 22 watts
4:11
at 1800 dollar price tag so I guess I shouldn't be really talking about overpaying for stuff when things like Fold exist in this case. Anyway
4:21
we also have a wired charging with actual specification of 15 watts now this is the
4:26
MagSafe they're like proprietary you know because adding magnets to things makes it more better
4:34
but if you just go with the standard Qi charging which isn't you know which Apple doesn't really
4:38
get a cut from because it's not something that they invented then it's only seven and a half
4:44
watts because they want to incentivize you to go for the 15 watts and get a faster charging while
4:48
spending more and Apple obviously getting a cut from that so yeah I personally like to just charge
4:57
the device wired so 22 watts I would prefer more on a device like this for this price tag but it's
5:04
whatever it's still better than charging it wirelessly as it will take significantly longer
5:10
now if you have a Qi charger or any kind of like wired charger next to your bed or something like
5:14
that then you can just slap it on there when you're going to bed and obviously that's convenient
5:19
otherwise for instance if you're trying to charge it somewhere on the go then wired will be better
5:25
and now with the type c charging port you should have no problem because basically anywhere you go
5:31
you can charge your device with basically any kind of from borrowing from any one cable and a charger and it will work unlike before where you would
5:40
have to have the lightning cable or type c so now we don't have that we just have a single cable for
5:46
literally every phone that is pretty good now that being said have you seen WWDC Apple was
5:53
basically forking it out like oh it's such a great thing that we have included that oh yeah
5:59
you know they're just stroking themselves let's be honest here Apple didn't include type c charging
6:06
port because they wanted they included it because you pin in and told them you either put it on or
6:12
you get the F out of Europe with selling your garbage devices that's basically what happened
6:17
and furthermore they also gave them a little bit more like don't even dare to try to like
6:23
gimp that type c port otherwise you also can just not sell your devices still the type c that they
6:30
included on these devices are not the best so they have a transfer speeds of what is it usb 2.0
6:38
instead of 3.1 right now so 3.1 you get on the the pro versions of this phone not on the non-pro
6:48
because why would you so now that I got that rant about type c out of me let's move over to
6:59
further on into the specs so this device comes with a 6 gigabytes of built-in ram and starts at
7:05
128 gigabytes of storage and goes up to half a terabyte so with that you also have nvme storage
7:14
type on here which means it's very very quick and in terms of editing on it like videos if you shoot
7:21
videos on here and you want to edit them you should have no problems with that the storage type
7:25
will not be really a limiting factor and neither will be the processor which is the
7:30
bionic a16 processor it is the old one so the one from the previous flagships
7:37
um because right now we have the a17 pro I think so yeah this is the a16 the last year's model
7:46
it's still stupidly fast I'm not gonna deny that it's one of the best processors you can have in
7:52
a device and it should have no problem with anything that you throw at it the only downside
7:58
is the newer one is obviously faster and apple is selling you a device that is a little bit
8:05
more expensive than it should be trying to incentivize you to buy the higher end model
8:13
which has basically the better processor and faster type c that's about it anyway
8:22
now let's move over to the cameras so here we have a dual camera setup at the back
8:27
and the main one is a 48 megapixel f 1.6 26 millimeter wide lens with dual pixel pdaf and
8:35
sensor shift optical image stabilization then we got a 12 megapixel f 2.4 13 megapix 13 millimeters
8:42
sorry 120 degree ultra wide lens and with those cameras at the back you can shoot at 4k 60 frames
8:52
max and 1080p also 60 but it goes also to 120 and 240 with slow motion it also supports hdr and
9:01
dolby vision and then at the front we got our 12 megapixel f 1.9 23 millimeter wide lens with pdaf
9:11
and sl 3d depth sensor for biometric scanning so basically unlocking your device and doing all that
9:18
like payments and stuff like that so it's the reason why you have this little garbage as lens
9:24
right or island right here instead of having a seamless bezel less or a camera camera less device
9:30
because let's be honest we do already have options to hide cameras under the display just to kind of
9:36
show this how that looks like we have the fold right here now if the light isn't shining on it
9:42
correctly then you don't even get to see that where that camera is but if i just can like
9:48
put it so the light can shine through it you can see that it is right here for the most part it's
9:54
not very visible and it looks pretty good when you're using the device and you have just seamless
10:00
slab of glass with no interruptions the dynamic island solution right here is just a bendy to a
10:07
problem that shouldn't even exist it don't need to exist there has been already solved for it that
10:13
samsung implemented and a couple additional companies as well but samsung is obviously the
10:19
major one that everyone knows of so yeah apple could do that as well and the device in my opinion
10:26
at least would have looked significantly better and a little bit more refreshed because right now
10:33
this device just looks like another iphone a new version of the old phone from two years ago
10:38
because to be completely honest nothing has changed over the last two freaking years so the
10:44
this device is basically identical to what is it the last year and the year before that model
10:52
so yeah it's apple just completely settling down still selling the overpriced garbage trying to
10:58
claim that they're you know eco-friendly by not producing any kind of eco waste whoopty do
11:05
that the fact of the matter is that they're producing their phones every single freaking
11:08
year and that is a waste in itself instead of making a good device once every three years for
11:14
instance that's primarily how often people usually upgrade their devices or every so often about
11:22
three years i think it is uh so yeah there is no reason for for them to be pumping out this garbage
11:28
every single year that could be said honestly with almost every company so i don't want to just say
11:34
that apple is the bad one uh but apple is the only one that and samsung that is right now producing
11:40
the same dog shit year by year with very minuscule changes and the reason i'm saying apple and
11:47
samsung because let's be honest this also exists it's the same phone as last year and the year
11:53
before that so again not much change there uh so yeah i i am very critical right now of the phone
12:02
market because it's getting more expensive with bullshit excuses that it's just inflation yeah
12:09
inflation didn't go up by 300 i think percent i want to remind you that decade ago iphone 3gs was
12:17
selling for like what 300 and now iphones and newest ones the best ones cost like 1200
12:25
excuse me mathematics don't add up here maybe they should hire better developers so they can
12:32
actually give them a better calculator so they can actually do mathematics correctly because
12:36
the prices of these devices being this one probably at about a thousand dollars if i'm
12:40
correct but the pro max and pro obviously are more expensive these are insane insane prices that i
12:48
don't think anyone should be spending on their devices right now especially when this device
12:54
provides you with basically no incentive to do so their only marketing scheme for this device this
12:59
year was oh we gracefully included type c and we have ray tracing so type c cool i mean good it's
13:07
not i mean they didn't include it because they they had they wanted to they included because
13:11
they had to and ray tracing uh it's a buzzwords that nvidia has basically added to everything and
13:18
gpu manufacturers and it's absolutely freaking useless and with that being said it's even more
13:25
useless on a freaking phone now it might be more useful for their 3 500 dollar vr headset oh sorry
13:35
spatial computer because they had to have a different buzzword for it um so yeah in that
13:39
case it might be beneficial i believe they will be using the same processor in here so that's
13:44
probably why they decided to do this but adding this kind of uh or marketing this device that
13:50
can do ray tracing is just useless like cool who cares no one um and honestly they could have uh
13:58
instead of adding ray tracing to a phone which is absolutely redundant
14:03
remove the camera i'd put resources into that so it's invisible crazy idea there um but any case um
14:13
so this device is basically the last year uh flagship model uh sold to you at a hyped up price
14:19
and probably you'd be better off buying the last year model uh the pro or pro max and having more
14:25
out of that one rather than buying this one which really makes me question why this model even
14:31
exists to be honest i did come come to this epiphany literally a video ago when i was doing the
14:37
15 i think the standard 15 and i was saying that why don't apple just make a uh or same phone
14:47
just with a all their hardware and if they could they would sell you that and then i just came
14:52
to actually realize that's what the non-pro versions are they're the same phone from last year
15:00
phone from last year just worse why does it exist so yeah um needless to say this device
15:09
leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion uh the battery size here is small uh the cameras will be
15:17
good because it is an apple after all and that's one of the reasons why everybody buys it the other
15:22
one would be just this uh this little garbage logo right here which is slowly starting to lose its
15:26
value um but yeah in any case um yeah so another thing that i have a problem here for the price is
15:34
the fact that this device doesn't even come with 120 hertz refresh rate hell it doesn't even come
15:38
with 90 they give you the standard crappy 60 hertz on a thousand dollar device are you effing kidding
15:44
me come on so yeah it's uh honestly it's a massive disappointment i want to also kind of give my
15:54
perspective here i am very negatively placed when it comes down to apple i genuinely don't like them
16:02
anymore i used to i used to like iphones when they were good which was a decent time ago but nowadays
16:10
apple is just a reheated meal from a week ago and it's it's not good obviously no one wants that
16:19
and like i said this device provides you with no benefits to upgrade to it unless you really want
16:27
that freaking type-c port for some reason if you already have the previous one and obviously have
16:33
the cable in the charger don't bother upgrading it it would be just a waste of your money
16:37
and obviously producing more waste if you care about that considering apple is really trying to
16:42
push that and make their user things that that you know waste is bad uh i will be honest replacing
16:50
your phone for a new one will be bad worse than adding a charger into every freaking phone
16:56
but that was a marketing decision not e-waste decision uh changing your phone for a new one
17:02
that's a e-waste decision that will be contributing to it a lot now so with that being said um just to
17:10
conclude this like i said i i don't like this device i don't like what they are making right now
17:19
this device has not changed for the past three years and there is still very little incentive
17:25
to upgrade if you have the older device one from the last year it it really makes no sense to spend
17:31
your money on this so with that being said hopefully you found this video helpful if you did
