00:07:22 ◼   ► of the ten that call back to two in my [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► mind [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► iPhones and like two classic designs so [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► there is kind of the one of the original [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► where even though it had an aluminium [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► back it had like a polished frame that [TS]

00:07:37 ◼   ► went around the glass so when you were [TS]

00:07:39 ◼   ► looking at it it was shiny [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► I actually off the top of my head I [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► can't remember what that material was [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► whoever it was a metal or a plastic or [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► whatever that went around the edge of [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► the screen but when you looked at it it [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► was shiny like how if you have the [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► silver iPhone 10 the stainless steel was [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► shiny and it looks like that right so [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► it's reminiscent of that and there's a [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► lot more you know the edges are curvier [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► these days than they have been in the [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► iPhone 10 reminds me of both of those [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► phones like the original a little bit [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► because of the shiny border that went [TS]

00:08:20 ◼   ► around the outside and also the glass [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► front and back of the iPhone 4 it [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► feel like I wouldn't say that I'm in the [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► same camp as you is feeling like Who I [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► have a like a gorgeous luxury object I [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► feel like I have a new phone and the [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► screen is bigger and that's great and [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► it's a different size which I'm thrilled [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► about like I'm very happy to pay for the [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► phone to get the different size that's [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► that is my my main interest here what [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► about the notch how do you feel about [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► the knotch I like I swear it's almost [TS]

00:09:44 ◼   ► like the notches in some kind of visual [TS]

00:09:46 ◼   ► blind spot for me like I am almost [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► weirded out by how little I noticed the [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► knotch yes it's it's somehow in my [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► vision I just don't see it like do you [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► feel the same way I forget it's there [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► and then every now and then I open an [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► application that's like all white and I [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► see it again yeah [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► and I think it's a combination of like [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► we've never looked that far apart phones [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► before alright so and I think the other [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► part of it is that like a lot of [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► applications [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► I mean basic you know all of the [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► Optimates applications it blends in [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► right they do a really good job I think [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► of making kind of the top of the screens [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► blend in really well so it's only I [TS]

00:10:32 ◼   ► think when there's like a really stark [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► contrast that I notice it yeah I'll use [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► if we put in the show notes I think [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► probably the best version of this is [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► like carrot weather because they almost [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► always have like these solid color [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► backgrounds like that they're they're [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► just going up around the edges of the [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► notch and I always I think it looks [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► gorgeous but I am aware that I eat like [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► I have to intentionally look at the [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► knotch to be aware that it's that it's [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► there but that's great though right [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► that's what you that's the best design [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► and it's best I guess so I think you [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► don't notice what is essentially a fool [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► in the screen right like having a notch [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► of it taken out [TS]

00:11:07 ◼   ► and it makes sense in retrospect why [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► Apple was pushing really heavily in [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► their design documents for like the [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► embrace the knotch [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► idea with design were they're like no [TS]

00:11:15 ◼   ► guys guys trust us that you have to just [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► roll with this and and use the color in [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► the top of the screen because the place [TS]

00:11:22 ◼   ► I it's so strange but the place I [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► noticed the knotch the most is actually [TS]

00:11:26 ◼   ► on applications that hide it so yes for [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► for example one that I think is always [TS]

00:11:35 ◼   ► going to work this way which I'll just [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► use so I can use it as an example is the [TS]

00:11:39 ◼   ► YouTube app so if you start playing a [TS]

00:11:42 ◼   ► video in the YouTube app and you're [TS]

00:11:44 ◼   ► holding the phone in portrait mode the [TS]

00:11:46 ◼   ► video has always played at the very top [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► of the screen now of course because the [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► notch is there they can't actually put [TS]

00:11:52 ◼   ► the video at the very top of the screen [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► they put it just below the notch but [TS]

00:11:56 ◼   ► then there's nothing to flow up to the [TS]

00:11:58 ◼   ► top of the screen so the YouTube app [TS]

00:12:00 ◼   ► just blacks out the top bar and then and [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► then it's like okay in theory you're [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► hiding the notch like I can't actually [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► see where the knotch begins and ends [TS]

00:12:08 ◼   ► versus where the screen begins an end [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► that's where the screen is actually [TS]

00:12:11 ◼   ► black but then it's it's suddenly like [TS]

00:12:12 ◼   ► really noticeable and and this is 100% [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► reverse the reaction I would have [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► expected to have I was thinking out I [TS]

00:12:21 ◼   ► hope those developers don't embrace the [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► notch and they stick with blacking out [TS]

00:12:26 ◼   ► the top bars because surely that will [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► look better but it doesn't I don't know [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► the screen as pretty is when people are [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► trying to hide it I think what's [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► happened is because so many apps updated [TS]

00:12:40 ◼   ► and kind of embraced it and designed [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► around it and flow color and backgrounds [TS]

00:12:45 ◼   ► up to the top when you see an [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► application that doesn't have it a lot [TS]

00:12:49 ◼   ► of the time it's because it hasn't been [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► updated right so there's apps that are [TS]

00:12:52 ◼   ► kind of in like a letterbox window mode [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► if they've not updated so I think when [TS]

00:12:56 ◼   ► you see an app that has updated for the [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► 10 but then decides to black it out it [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► looks like it's old yeah maybe a little [TS]

00:13:04 ◼   ► bit like that I do have to say this is [TS]

00:13:08 ◼   ► updated app still look okay yeah I [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► always wonder like how much does Apple [TS]

00:13:12 ◼   ► go out of their way to make non updated [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► apps for whatever their new devices look [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► great and it feels like not much because [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► they don't have any incentive for that [TS]

00:13:20 ◼   ► but this is this is the only phone where [TS]

00:13:22 ◼   ► I can use non updated apps and it's it's [TS]

00:13:25 ◼   ► no problem at all like they just sort of [TS]

00:13:26 ◼   ► float in the middle of the screen and I [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► think it's it's perfectly fine yeah I [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► think the OLED screen helps a lot with [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► that because the blacks are so black [TS]

00:13:32 ◼   ► that it looks like just part of the [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► phone yeah the old yeah the OLED screen [TS]

00:13:36 ◼   ► definitely helps but I'll tell you what [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► Mike my favorite thing about the knotch [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► the dumb cell phone carrier names in a [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► little status bar at the top I have for [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► four years there is a network carrier in [TS]

00:13:59 ◼   ► the UK called three and so their little [TS]

00:14:02 ◼   ► symbol is just a number three in the [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► status bar and I have not wanted to [TS]

00:14:07 ◼   ► switch away from them for years almost [TS]

00:14:10 ◼   ► entirely because of the fact that they [TS]

00:14:12 ◼   ► have the smallest network indicator in [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► the status bar at the top of the screen [TS]

00:14:18 ◼   ► and earlier this year they rolled out [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► some feature which was like three Wi-Fi [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► of that it only shows up on the [TS]

00:15:26 ◼   ► which was if you enabled low-power mode [TS]

00:15:29 ◼   ► on the phone it would force the battery [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► percentage back in the display [TS]

00:15:34 ◼   ► it just always drove me crazy like why [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► like who is who is the engineer who [TS]

00:24:10 ◼   ► then I go back to the phone and it takes [TS]

00:24:11 ◼   ► me a second to realize like oh right I [TS]

00:24:12 ◼   ► have to do this gesture this way so I'm [TS]

00:24:15 ◼   ► hoping this is just a temporary phase in [TS]

00:24:17 ◼   ► the product life cycle but I am a little [TS]

00:24:19 ◼   ► bit concerned by the weirdness of the [TS]

00:24:22 ◼   ► different interactions of [TS]

00:24:24 ◼   ► across the the different devices I'm [TS]

00:24:26 ◼   ► hoping that there can be something a [TS]

00:24:28 ◼   ► little bit more unified in an approach [TS]

00:24:30 ◼   ► in the future particularly with the [TS]

00:24:33 ◼   ► multitasking I'm really not a fan of the [TS]

00:24:35 ◼   ► multitasking on the phone I think that a [TS]

00:24:37 ◼   ► lot of that stuff's gonna get revised [TS]

00:24:39 ◼   ► honestly like I can see that like [TS]

00:24:41 ◼   ► they've used a swipe up gesture in both [TS]

00:24:44 ◼   ► areas right so there's like there is an [TS]

00:24:46 ◼   ► attempt in my opinion at some kind of [TS]

00:24:48 ◼   ► unification and I think that as we go [TS]

00:24:51 ◼   ► forward those things are gonna become [TS]

00:24:53 ◼   ► more similar than than they currently [TS]

00:24:56 ◼   ► are that that's the way I look at it [TS]

00:24:58 ◼   ► yeah I hope so I find the apps which are [TS]

00:25:02 ◼   ► on the phone is just like an awkward [TS]

00:25:04 ◼   ► gesture I think like many people I'm [TS]

00:25:06 ◼   ► trying to figure out what's the way that [TS]

00:25:08 ◼   ► works the best for me and the way the [TS]

00:25:11 ◼   ► way Apple pitches it has swipe up and [TS]

00:25:14 ◼   ► pause I think for any gesture that [TS]

00:25:17 ◼   ► you're going to invoke many many times a [TS]

00:25:19 ◼   ► pause is yeah totally unacceptable to [TS]

00:25:23 ◼   ► tasking gesture is is wonky at best just [TS]

00:25:27 ◼   ► in the case like I've spoken about on a [TS]

00:25:28 ◼   ► few shows and I and everyone's telling [TS]

00:25:31 ◼   ► me the right way to do it and [TS]

00:25:32 ◼   ► everybody's right way is different like [TS]

00:25:34 ◼   ► everybody has their own way of invoking [TS]

00:25:36 ◼   ► this gesture and everybody sees better [TS]

00:25:39 ◼   ► yes I am doing a quarter-circle that [TS]

00:25:41 ◼   ► starts from the bottom yeah bones I go [TS]

00:25:45 ◼   ► I'm flying in from next door and then [TS]

00:25:47 ◼   ► like you know it's like a whole big [TS]

00:25:49 ◼   ► thing so I just yeah is not what it [TS]

00:25:54 ◼   ► should be but I also don't know what the [TS]

00:25:57 ◼   ► right one I mean ideally I would like to [TS]

00:25:59 ◼   ► see something that was more like the [TS]

00:26:01 ◼   ► iPad but I think I think they may go [TS]

00:26:03 ◼   ► that way right that you just you swipe [TS]

00:26:05 ◼   ► up a little bit to go home you swipe up [TS]

00:26:07 ◼   ► further to go into multitasking well I [TS]

00:26:11 ◼   ► think that they want to make it a bit [TS]

00:26:16 ◼   ► easier for people to adjust and I think [TS]

00:26:18 ◼   ► if you're adjusting from the iPhone this [TS]

00:26:20 ◼   ► is an easier way to adjust because [TS]

00:26:21 ◼   ► swiping up is or is a weird interaction [TS]

00:26:24 ◼   ► when you've been so used to the home [TS]

00:26:25 ◼   ► button yeah yeah I think I agree that [TS]

00:26:29 ◼   ► that's probably what they're going for [TS]

00:26:31 ◼   ► I'm also betting that in testing with [TS]

00:26:33 ◼   ► new users it's the most discoverable [TS]

00:26:35 ◼   ► because people will leave their finger [TS]

00:26:37 ◼   ► on the screen maybe [TS]

00:26:38 ◼   ► for a second too young and then [TS]

00:26:39 ◼   ► multitasking pops up and people go oh [TS]

00:26:40 ◼   ► that's where it is right I'm I have this [TS]

00:26:43 ◼   ► feels very much like it's designed [TS]

00:26:45 ◼   ► towards new users but my personal my [TS]

00:26:48 ◼   ► personal vote on multitasking is I do [TS]

00:26:51 ◼   ► like the gesture where you swipe across [TS]

00:26:53 ◼   ► the bottom of the phone and it has the [TS]

00:26:55 ◼   ► most recent couple of apps like the [TS]

00:26:57 ◼   ► swiping left and right on the home [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► indicator and it just takes you back and [TS]

00:27:00 ◼   ► forward through the apps you've used [TS]

00:27:01 ◼   ► right yes yeah I I would love to use [TS]

00:27:04 ◼   ► that just as the app switcher like do [TS]

00:27:08 ◼   ► this quickly enough and it just pulls up [TS]

00:27:10 ◼   ► a whole bunch that you can slide back [TS]

00:27:12 ◼   ► and forth between but that is totally [TS]

00:27:15 ◼   ► not discoverable for a new user and of [TS]

00:27:18 ◼   ► course you know control center is a bit [TS]

00:27:21 ◼   ► of a disaster on the new phone I don't [TS]

00:27:23 ◼   ► think anybody's a big fan of where [TS]

00:27:24 ◼   ► control sitting right now it's like to [TS]

00:27:27 ◼   ► get Control Center you have to swipe [TS]

00:27:28 ◼   ► down from the upper right corner it's [TS]

00:27:30 ◼   ► like the exact opposite of where it used [TS]

00:27:32 ◼   ► to be and it's not at all intuitive like [TS]

00:27:35 ◼   ► it's and like even the animation is a [TS]

00:27:37 ◼   ► disaster like that's not a good part of [TS]

00:27:39 ◼   ► it at all well there's also a minor [TS]

00:27:41 ◼   ► point to me about control center as well [TS]

00:27:43 ◼   ► which is when you pull it down the [TS]

00:27:47 ◼   ► control center buttons and stuff they're [TS]

00:27:49 ◼   ► floating in the top half of the screen [TS]

00:27:50 ◼   ► anyway all right so it's like it's [TS]

00:27:53 ◼   ► almost making sure that you have to use [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► two hands for this gesture because it's [TS]

00:27:57 ◼   ► like if if in theory you were able to [TS]

00:27:59 ◼   ► stretch your thumb to reach that top bit [TS]

00:28:01 ◼   ► it's like the buttons are still on the [TS]

00:28:03 ◼   ► wrong side of the screen for where [TS]

00:28:04 ◼   ► they're supposed to be and for me as a [TS]

00:28:07 ◼   ► left-handed iPhone user it's it's [TS]

00:28:09 ◼   ► especially like oh oh well bye-bye [TS]

00:28:11 ◼   ► control center it was it was nice [TS]

00:28:13 ◼   ► knowing you [TS]

00:28:14 ◼   ► and I find it frustrating simply because [TS]

00:28:17 ◼   ► I feel like all these gestures are are [TS]

00:28:19 ◼   ► there for the notification screen which [TS]

00:28:21 ◼   ► I have no use for in the world of Apple [TS]

00:28:24 ◼   ► like I'm not interested in your [TS]

00:28:25 ◼   ► notification screen please just let me [TS]

00:28:27 ◼   ► get control center from anywhere instead [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► of this like oh we have with one tiny [TS]

00:28:31 ◼   ► little space on the top of the screen [TS]

00:28:33 ◼   ► where you can access control center a [TS]

00:28:35 ◼   ► thing you use many times a day and we [TS]

00:28:37 ◼   ► have the rest of the 75% of the space is [TS]

00:28:40 ◼   ► there for a thing that you never use so [TS]

00:28:42 ◼   ► yeah I'm hoping for a bunch of changes [TS]

00:28:45 ◼   ► but I mean that that said I do have to [TS]

00:28:49 ◼   ► say like getting rid of the home button [TS]

00:28:52 ◼   ► it's totally the right choice and even [TS]

00:28:54 ◼   ► though we've just been complaining about [TS]

00:28:55 ◼   ► the gestures a a home button list phone [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► I like it ten thousand times better than [TS]

00:29:03 ◼   ► the fake home button on the on the seven [TS]

00:29:07 ◼   ► right where it's like it wasn't a real [TS]

00:29:09 ◼   ► button it was just like they just had [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► fat haptic feedback I never liked that [TS]

00:29:12 ◼   ► button I never got used to it and I [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► always preferred the physical button but [TS]

00:29:17 ◼   ► now it's like I wouldn't I wouldn't take [TS]

00:29:19 ◼   ► I wouldn't take a physical button on [TS]

00:29:20 ◼   ► this phone if Apple offered it to me I [TS]

00:29:22 ◼   ► would I would just pass by it on the [TS]

00:29:24 ◼   ► ground and not touch it at all because [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► the the no home button phone is way [TS]

00:29:29 ◼   ► better and just feels really natural so [TS]

00:29:32 ◼   ► I like a big big thumbs up for that even [TS]

00:29:34 ◼   ► if the gestures are a bit wonky and [TS]

00:29:35 ◼   ► could use some some sorting out but like [TS]

00:29:37 ◼   ► that's all workable later right like [TS]

00:29:40 ◼   ► these things make sense once more people [TS]

00:29:43 ◼   ► are using them and it's just software [TS]

00:29:45 ◼   ► right so they can make a move iOS around [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► whoever they want going forward but the [TS]

00:29:50 ◼   ► hardware design and it moves that [TS]

00:29:52 ◼   ► they're making in hardware including [TS]

00:29:54 ◼   ► face ID in my opinion or all excellent [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► and in the right direction but it's such [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► a big change that they need to do some [TS]

00:30:03 ◼   ► work on the software yeah yeah I [TS]

00:30:06 ◼   ► completely agree I am I am liking face [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► movements but I wouldn't say that I'm [TS]

00:30:37 ◼   ► struggling with face ID so like there [TS]

00:30:39 ◼   ► are times when it definitely doesn't [TS]

00:30:45 ◼   ► don't feel like I'm having more problems [TS]

00:30:46 ◼   ► than I had to touch ID like touch ID [TS]

00:30:48 ◼   ► wasn't a 100% of the time type thing you [TS]

00:30:51 ◼   ► like if you didn't hit it just right [TS]

00:30:53 ◼   ► then it didn't work the only times were [TS]

00:30:56 ◼   ► obviously I'm struggling with it is like [TS]

00:30:58 ◼   ► let's say I have my hand covering my [TS]

00:31:58 ◼   ► in that way but I I will say that I have [TS]

00:32:00 ◼   ► found the face ID to work about as good [TS]

00:32:04 ◼   ► as I expected it to work and I'm happy [TS]

00:32:07 ◼   ► with that [TS]

00:32:17 ◼   ► having a lot of problems with face ID [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► even under optimal situations I would [TS]

00:32:24 ◼   ► say that it at least I've been finding [TS]

00:32:25 ◼   ► it less reliable than touch ID in terms [TS]

00:32:29 ◼   ► of how often does it say no no you have [TS]

00:32:32 ◼   ► to enter in your passcode it's quite a [TS]

00:32:34 ◼   ► bunch for me like obviously it works [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► more often than not right just like [TS]

00:32:37 ◼   ► touch ID but I'm getting a lot of [TS]

00:32:39 ◼   ► failures in what I what I think should [TS]

00:32:41 ◼   ► be optimal situations right I'm not [TS]

00:32:45 ◼   ► grumpy with my head in my hands you know [TS]

00:32:47 ◼   ► I'm just like right in front of the [TS]

00:32:52 ◼   ► much in the beginning that I ended up [TS]

00:32:54 ◼   ► retraining it which I think made it a [TS]

00:32:55 ◼   ► little bit better but this is this is [TS]

00:32:57 ◼   ► also like we're in the time where [TS]

00:32:58 ◼   ► there's machine learning like in [TS]

00:33:00 ◼   ► everything and I know that yes they do [TS]

00:33:02 ◼   ► update the model of the face over time [TS]

00:33:04 ◼   ► in theory every time you are entering [TS]

00:33:06 ◼   ► your passcode it should be getting [TS]

00:33:08 ◼   ► better yeah it should be getting better [TS]

00:33:11 ◼   ► but I would say I'm getting a lot of [TS]

00:33:13 ◼   ► failures on on face ID [TS]

00:33:16 ◼   ► more than I was getting with touch ID [TS]

00:33:18 ◼   ► which at least for me was just [TS]

00:33:19 ◼   ► rock solid like it was it was notable [TS]

00:33:22 ◼   ► when I had a touch ID failure and it was [TS]

00:33:24 ◼   ► always my fault like I'm just getting [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► out of the shower [TS]

00:34:08 ◼   ► times I have to enter in my passcode I'm [TS]

00:34:10 ◼   ► still winning in terms of time even more [TS]

00:34:14 ◼   ► I love that other apps can use face ID [TS]
