Responding to the iPhone XS Max Problems #Helpful Post

yo guys johnathan here today against my

better judgment I'm addressing the

iPhone 10s problems

cue the facepalm for that thumbnail now

that's a little bit of a long shot but

the one thing I ask is please watch and

listening to this video thoroughly

before you smash your keyboard if you

got my 10s max review I try to be as

objective as possible and point out the

good and also the things that frustrated

me specifically the fact that it's 2018

and Apple does not include a

fast-charging solution in the box with

the prices they are charging for these

iPhones like that's not okay of course

from there naturally I got those lovely

common saying Jonathan what are you some

paid Apple fanboy you shill why aren't

you covering Beauty gate charge gate

autocorrect gate and the thing is the

type review is based off my personal

experience I did not personally

experience any charging problems with

that said though I want to make it super

clear that just because I didn't

personally experience that doesn't mean

the problem doesn't exist and more

importantly doesn't mean Apple should be

excused Marquez did a fantastic job of

explaining the whole gate situation and

the big number that stood out to me was

last year Apple shipped over 200 million

plus iPhones if there was a problem with

just 0.01% of those that equated to

21,000 plus I phones that is a lot of

upset people out there now the crazier

thing about all that is the charge gate

issue was actually a security bug with

how the iPhone protects that lightning

port and Apple addressed that and fixed

that in the iOS 12.1 beta now hold your

pants Jimmy because I know you're

foaming at the mouth waiting to say

Jonathan that's BS the average user

shouldn't have to install a beta to

charge their phone betas aren't stable

it's not the average thing to do and I

completely agree with you honestly it's

very similar to a problem I had last

year with the Google pixel to portrait

mode was non-existent like it just

wasn't on the phone at all and the funny

thing is is I essentially got yell reply

that same what are you stupid

just silo the app idiot clear your cache

reset the Preferences reset the phone

three times and then count

back from 17 it's gonna be okay stop

being a moron and the thing is is just

like I don't think the average person

should do that like imagine explaining

to your grandmother

oh just sight load the app that's not

gonna happen and for you same grandma's

aren't gonna rocket pixels - you sir are

a liar and have plenty of grammars

rocket pixel - it's a great phone point

is bugs happen it's not just Apple it's

Google it's Samsung it is most companies

out there I mean hell Tesla has had some

crazy bugs recently where people are

driving and the software is restarting

as they're driving on the freeway that

is scary as hell

that is an 85 thousand dollar piece of

tech that could potentially endanger

someone's life like to me it's a little

bit bigger of a deal the thing is though

Tesla problems don't get as much clicks

as iPhone problems from now we're gonna

go to talk about Beauty gates which

actually isn't a thing calm down buddy

because I know you're yelling at me

right now saying you you Apple fanboy

you paid Cole Beauty gate is a thing I

got a secret for you you're probably

gonna get mad but earlier today on

Twitter and Instagram I posted this

lovely pixel to Porsche selfie and it

got an out war of compliments could

easily get mistaken for DSLR still the

daddy in the camera department looking

crispy no wonder there's no make-up

effect it managed to include the bumps

at the edges of your face caused by the

facial hair impressive best portrait

mode yet so good hashtag no Beauty gate

from there I posted a second picture and

got the same reaction it's better that

it's not using some crazy high shoulder

speed mixed with noise reduction

creating that plastic look to people's

faces best camera til pixel 3 arrives if

you say no you are literally a fanboy

bro that was taken on the iPhone 10s max

 

so I just wanted that to be a little bit

of a lesson out there don't let a

preconceived notion or headline skew

your judgment because clearly everyone

who thought that that was a pixel

automatically assumed that it was much

better than the iPhone when in fact that

was the same iPhone 10's max that

apparently had all the Beauty gate

problems with that said though there is

something happening with the

front-facing camera on the iPhone 10s

but it's not beauty mode it's not

isolating the skin it's actually noise

reduction on the entire image if you

haven't yet my guy Rene Ricci who's an

amazingly smart guy did a fantastic

breakdown an explanation of what exactly

is happening with the front-facing

camera way more in depth so if you got a

minute it's a really great watch link it

down below or up here but essentially

what's happening here is the

front-facing camera is taking multiple

shots at multiple exposures and then

stitching those together and the

aftermath of that is you're going to

have to apply noise reduction which

creates a smoothing effect over the

entire image not just isolating skin

tones if you actually watch Marquez's

video every example of a front-facing

shot that he used if you notice the

background on every single one of those

isn't blown out or overexposed so it's a

bit of a trade off for the most part in

every single shot you're getting way

better dynamic range Noble and our

backgrounds no more exposed images but

in certain cases where it struggles with

light yeah it's going to really really

aggressively pull down that noise

reduction and that's where you get that

skin smoothing effect so the bad news is

yeah because it's not Beauty mode or

something you can turn off it is stuck

there but the good news is is that its

software base and if we've learned

anything this year that Apple is

listening so I wouldn't be surprised if

we saw that just pull down a little bit

in one of the future iOS 12 updates so

that is my take problem suck bug suck

you should not have to deal with them

companies should be held responsible

this is not a giant pass with me for

Apple I have plenty of things from them

that frustrate me I've addressed that

I've voiced that if you don't like the

iPhone don't buy it in fact check out

the LG v40 thin queue which a lot of

people don't seem to care about but it's

actually a pretty awesome device or

maybe you want some positivity in your

life we talked about the Apple watch and

how mr. Gregory McFadden lost 100 pounds

so check those out and I'll catch you
