I don't need the latest and "greatest" proprietary Apple-certified components. I'd rather have good documentation for easy reasonable repairs and upgrades.

I like having wireless charging. It serves as a backup in two cases: 1. troubleshooting and temporarily circumventing a broken charging port 2. less universal, but more important to me: being able to charge my phone in case frost or moisture builds up in the charging port (happens from time to time due to my hobbies) I also take a lot of photos and generally use my phone heavily. Despite all that, my 3-year-old Note 10 plus is a perfectly capable tool for me.

To me - eSIM is like going back to CDMA era, when carriers didn't even have to implement special locks, the way the phones worked both locked the consumer to the carrier, and locked customer choice of phones to what the carrier offered. SIM is short for Subscriber Identity *Module* - module being the key word - it can be removed, replaced, reused - it gave you as a consumer choice by not tying your carrier subscription to your physical device. This is important even if you never travel abroad because making it easier to switch cell providers encourages competition and prevents price gauging. With eSIM, you can be locked from every direction - and you know that if a company can lock you in to squeeze more money out of you they will. Not just Apple, but the carriers as well! I live in a country where for almost a decade it has been illegal for cell providers to SIM lock phones, even the ones they sell. Now, they may start using eSIM to circumvent that law and restrict customers from switching providers claiming "technical difficulties". P.S. A friend recently bought a Garmin InReach device. It is smaller than a phone and only supports text messages, it basically has the functionality Apple advertises, but is still has a very chunky antenna on it. And they are very up front on what you need to do to get reception on it, and how sensitive and limited it is. If you are trapped in a cave, this thing won't help you, and it is purpose made to talk to a satellite, so an iPhone doesn't stand a chance! (I say this, because Apple shows "trapped in a cave" in the commercial).

A new hand-rectangle WOOO! Can't wait to not buy that one! All my non-existent social media friends are gonna be so impressed with non-existence of my new toy that I didn't buy. The iPhone 14 is certainly, without a shadow of a doubt one of the phones of 2022.

A couple of things coming from a loyal subscriber that is actually an iPhone loyal user. 1) I also have mixed feelings regarding ditching the normal SIM but the example that you pointed out is not gonna be an isssue in the future . I’ve been using esims while traveling to the USA , Canada , Central America and Europe for the past 4 years . It’s more expensive but it’s so nice to just download the Airalo or competitor app on the phone and land already with an esim. All sims will die and an app will replace it in all over the world . 2) regarding the satellite functionality . iPhones don’t need big antenas because the new global star tech included in them aren’t for calling just send a very small string of text to the satellite and you don’t need constant connection to achieve that . How it works is that the string is sent plenty of times and hopefully one of them reaches the satellite .

Dual SIM is mostly a requirement in some Asian countries where data and voice are separate plans/carriers/bills and many people have one but not the other (usually voice and no data, using Wi-Fi data where possible).

There's definitely some personal gain/intentional malice behind the esim only decision, especially since it's only in the US. It might also be a carrier influenced thing because US carriers absolutely hate the idea of dual sim/dual sim standby on American phones because of how easy it gets them around being locked to one carrier/easier to switch. That's why must dual sim phones are mainly international/European and American models are made single sim. With esim and a physical sim at least there was one could could easily swap out but with both being esim there's just so much more work to swap anything.

I can definitely see an Apple executive traveling to Bangladesh/Indonesia/Vietnam to negotiate a deal for company clothing or something and needing to bring a different phone so they can use a physical SIM. In any case, the fact that it hard to tell how removing the option to use a physical SIM is supposed to make Apple money is not a good sign. It's like the headphone jack getting removed for Apple's push for bluetooth devices, you don't remove a useful option that costs under a cent to include on the phone unless you're absolutely certain you can make more money with it gone.

the death of the headphone jack marked a huge dip in quality for apple, i mean didnt we want phones to have the most features and be as convenient as can be? its nice to be able to plug your phone into an aux if youre at a party or to use sd cards and not have to pay a gazillion dollars more for extra storage/i cloud, now theyre even taking away sim cards.

In the US, eSIM codes are single use. However, in Italy (not sure about rest of EU), the codes can be transferred from phone to phone in a sort of "logout procedure"

It really bothers me that apple sets a lot of trends because its starting to feel like i only buy a Samsung phone because its not an iphone I want more actual competition If Samsung or really any phone company had a phone that was as good as Samsung and apple but had a removable battery i would immediately buy it just for the battery then maybe we would start getting what we actually want like the headphone jack, the battery, expandable storage (which samsung used to have), and maybe even control over our property Dont you all agree?

Having an outdated Android version is an issue of itself from a security perspective. There has been huge advances in encryption since android 7 going from basically none to hardware level keys implemented on an individual file basis. Not to mention all the exploits found in the linux kernel which could lead to root access for an attacker. I agree that getting the most of your old phone is definitely something to aim for. Only thing they lack is the hardware level encryption capability. But when official support and community ROM's get abandoned usually after about 3 years or so the security takes a nosedive and you need to assess whether carrying around a potential "stream your whole life to an adversary" -device is worth it or not for a few hundred saved bucks.

Not true at all. iPhone 14 in EU has both eSIM and physical nanoSIM. Apple is clearly doing this to appease cellular companies and make useless "water resistance" levels go higher. I love how EU sucker punched them so they can't keep using slow lightning and forced them to have a working sim tray in at least EU. PS: those who say apple will go magsafe only next year: Nope, the proposal requires all phones to have USB standard port, UNLESS they are sufficiently small like smart watches and each side of TWS earbuds (the case itself must have a port if it is big enough).

As a paramedic who also worked search and rescue, THANK YOU for pointing out how stupid the emergency stuff apple is touting is. EMS/SAR systems often can't find a normal cell phone not because of the cell phone, but the equipment our 911 services have. If apple wanted to actually make people safer, they'd just donate a couple billion dollars to upgrade every EMS/911 system in North America to be able to track the basic GPS system and triangulation and accept text messages. Because there's a good 99% chance your emergency feature is going to not work and first responders will not be able to use that data to find you. Car crashes. Woo. It's pretty rare for a car crash to not be seen or heard, and if it's bad enough to render you incapacitated in a rural enough area that nobody saw it, there's a good chance you're gonna die before we get to you anyways. But what we could use is again, the capability for emergency services to receive texts or triangulate GPS data. Because almost every phone can send that data already. We just can't hear it. Also that stupid atrial fibrillation 2 lead EKG in the apple watch is a joke at best, and medical waste at worst. It detects a lot of harmless mild afib and causes a lot of 911 calls and trips to emergency rooms that just didn't need to happen. If you walk into an ER and say your apple watch thinks you're having a heart problem, you aren't walking out of that er with less than a thousand dollar bill. What I find most telling is that they had this entire generation to make an effort in making their phones serviceable, without requiring that hilariously cynical, anti-environmenta, more expensive self-service program that requires they send you three full sized pelikan cases just to change a screen or battery. They could have made the new iphone go back to screws, lost no waterproofing capability, and reduced e-waste tremendously. But they just didn't want to. They want to keep their token program that attempts to satisfy legislators and right to repair activists, but also still promote as much e-waste consumerism as possible. It's just annoying as fuck. I think apple makes some impressive products that I'd like to own. But then they go and tie everything to a locked in ecosystem and terrible anticonsumer practices. I'd love an ipad for note taking over my samsung tablet. But then I couldn't share my notes across to my windows laptop. I'd love some airpods pro's, they're still a king of ANC. But you can't get firmware updates without an iphone/ipad/macbook. I even like the airpod max's, overpriced as they are. But again, locked in, doesn't play nice with android or windows. It annoys me to no end that they really don't have to be so toxic, anticonsumer and anti-environmental. But they choose to be. Every time they're presented with a fork in the road, one leading towards doing the right thing, the other towards shafting the human race for a tiny bit more profit, they always choose the latter. I don't even mind spending more on good products. They just clearly don't want my money. And Samsung is obviously just as toxic, they just aren't as innovative. So I'm probably done with their products now too. I'm sick of them mocking Apple for a stupid anticonsumer decision and then immediately doing it themselves.

Step 1. Buy IPhone 13 Step 2. Realize it's the same as the IPhone 14 Step 3. Sell it as IPhone 14 Step 4. Profit

I’ve had an iphone 6 for almost a decade now, might consider getting some model of the 14 but the only real detracting point for me rn is the whole eSIM thing

you could just get a 13 instead, and probably cheaper anyways

@@nathanlarson6535 honestly I’ve been kinda thinking this, the only big counterpoints I have to consider are related to it being older and therefore becoming obsolete that much faster. If I’m gonna have a phone as long as I’ve had my current one, wouldn’t it make sense to go for the one with the latest tech then?

@@SilverEternal22 don’t have to worry about that as the new iPhone has the same cpu

you should make more videos about hardware releases, they are enjoyable to watch!

Apple technician here, on the US models, where the sim card reader was, the space is taken by a plastic square, no usable component just a plastic square

I got an iphone (8) and I still watch your videos. I got my iphone as a present from my mom like 4-5 years ago tho, before becoming aware about privacy. I told myself to use this phone until I destroy it, but it seems like iphone 8‘s are indestructable lol

Amazing how many people with limited money or income are willing to spend on a phone / tracker when you break it down into monthly payments. Amazing arithmetic $900.00 or 24@37.50? $37.50 is not a large amount until you don't have it and then it's a huge amount.

If you are paying a loan for a phone you have some serious financial issues

Stable Diffusion 1.5 and your new video dropped almost at the same time to my yt feed. Now I can't sleep because the enorphine that's just released. Thanks man.

Bought a blue Xiaomi 9S over 2 years ago, new for less than $300. Headphone jack, MicroSD, 2 SIMs, IR (yes, for real), 6.7" screen, 5000mah battery still lasts a full day of heavy use and looks better than any Apple or Samsung, and the CPU was pretty good for that year, and Xiaomi is still sending updates, I'm on Android 12 now, gorilla glass 5 on both sides of the phone. Don't talk about headphone jacks and other stuff in the past tense, some brands still include them in most of their range if not all of it.

I just really want to rant about the eSIM. I've had terrible experiences with communication providers in several occasions, and I've only learned that they just wanna screw you as much as they can. This will definitely make a very easy task of changing providers/equipment to a real pain in the "arse". Sure, I loooooove the idea of going to another country and having to pay for a new eSIM, which will surely also have problems as I probably won't have internet connection. Also, not sure about having to scan random QR codes anyone could print on top of the real one in order to install my new SIM.

All phones will get it eventually, so id get used to it asap

The thing I really like about iphones is their design, unironically. They are thick with flat screens and flat edges, it makes them so good to handle. Meanwhile on Android Samsung ruined designs seemingly forever by memeing curved screens and thin edges into existence. I can't even use modern Android flagship phones without a case because they're so thin they literally dig into my hands. Every single modern Android phone is like this.

The flat screen is the only redeeming quality to an iphone personally. If they could get rid of the notch, that would be even better. Forced eSims make sure I will never buy an Iphone, though.

TBH I can't use my iPhone without a case because it's slippy but the accessibility settings on it are why I keep it. I do like the Galaxy Z Flip tho. That's a cool phone.

I have to agree with this. The amount of times I'm in a game and it doesn't detect my touch or swipe making me lose because one of my other fingers is grazing one of the borders by just holding the damn thing, lol.

The regular S22 and S22 Plus went back to flat screens actually. Only the Ultra still uses curved screens

Imo you're exaggerating. I currently have Mototola G30 which is one hell of a phone and works wonders for me as well as being really comfy to handle
