The iPhone XS Isn't Worth It UNLESS...#Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin the iPhone

tennis is one of the best phones you can

buy today which makes sense as it's also

one of the most expensive flagship sever

as opposed to doing our normal is it

worth the video this year instead I

think it's a lot more useful if we

answer the most important question with

any new gadgets launched who should buy

the iPhone 10s one big reason to pick up

the 10s for the 10s max is if you're

already in the Apple ecosystem and

you're looking for an upgrade especially

if you're coming from an older device

such as an iPhone 6 or 6s this is a big

step forward take the camera for example

put it side-by-side with the success and

you will notice a big difference now

part of this is because there are

several generations between the phones

which means that things like color

science dynamic range and the video

quality is all been improved but you're

also getting additional functionality

including the second telephoto option

which is especially useful for the

portrait mode which is actually pretty

good on the 10s it's also hard to

overlook the difference in screen size

go on to the days of huge bezels on top

and bottom instead the new iPhone is

basically all screen up front including

the knotch oh yes my friends the knotch

look personally I don't mind the knotch

not only is it on basically every

flagship phone out there but at this

point well sure you might think it looks

ugly almost anyone's going to be able to

get used to it very quickly that notch

houses one of the biggest differences

between the 10s and previous generations

face ID put simply instead of having a

home button with touch ID instead you

use your face to unlock the 10 and the

10s and generally speaking it works

pretty well certainly not perfect as far

as I'm concerned not bad

there are also some software updates

from legacy phones and so which are

pretty substantial one of my favorites

is the gesture based navigation since

you don't have a home button to be able

to exit apps as well as swipe in and out

of multitasking and whatnot this makes

it a lot faster to be able to just swipe

on the bottom of the screen performance

is also a consideration every year the

iPhone does get faster and while the a

series processors have been really

impressive especially in the last couple

years when you pit the 10s compared to

the 10 and especially going back to the

7 and the 6s you're gonna know a pretty

substantial difference sure the camera

is a solid update this year but it is

certainly not worth dropping another

thousand dollars to get same thing goes

for the performance yes on paper the 10s

is faster but realistically there's

almost no real-world difference more

than any phone I've used in years the

iPhone

10 has held up so well over a full year

of use the battery life still lasts all

day long

it still feels fast the camera is great

if you have one and you're not like

rocking a broken screen or something it

is almost impossible for me to recommend

it over the 10 s no no I didn't actually

mean that that's the wrong I flipped

that the 10 still feels every bit as

fast as it did last year and even more

so now that iOS 12 is out speaking up

let's actually talk about iOS 12 for a

second as opposed to most updates which

make your iPhone feel slower twelve

legitimately does make even older

iPhones feel a lot faster I'll be real

if my job wasn't to review the latest

tech I would not have updated my iPhone

10 to a 10 s it's good but the upgrades

are just not worth it

on the other hand one reason why you

might want to pick up the tennis is the

longevity it's really impressive that

Apple is still supporting the iPhone 5s

after five years and honestly this

software support on the iOS side it's

one of the major advantages over Android

in my opinion if the 10s gets that same

level of support it is a serious selling

point sure a thousand dollars for a

phone is expensive when you break that

up over three four or even five years of

usable while use that's pretty cool

there's also the fact that the updated

screen design is the new standard going

forward which is a good sign for app

supports long story short if you want to

pick up a new iPhone today the tennis is

a good shot of being able to last quite

a while on the other hand not everyone

wants to spend $1000 on a new phone sure

the tennis is great but there's a lot of

other things you can do as $1,000 like

pay rent or buy a lot of Subway

sandwiches that's a lot of five-dollar

footlongs that's 100 of them no wait

they're not not only can you pick up a

much cheaper Android phones such as the

poco phone f1 for a lot less than half

the price but there are also other iOS

options that can do a decent job of not

costing $1,000 such as the iPhone 7

which is now 450 bucks sure it's

probably not going to last as long but

you're still getting a solid camera

really reasonable performance and it

costs less than half the price of the

10s one point in favor of the 10s

specifically with the Mac's is if you're

really into media consumption which odds

are if you're watching this video right

now you probably are based in early

numbers it seems like the 10s

is heavily outselling the standard 10s

and that's really only for one reason

the fact that it's got that bigger

display besides that there's actually

really no difference between the 10s and

the 10s max the 6.5 inch OLED display is

about as good as it gets for a

smartphone

not only is the brightness in the color

and especially the contrast terrific but

it does support all the fancy new

display technologies including HDR 10

and Dolby vision the improved speakers

also make a difference now are they

louder but they also have better stereo

separation and that combined with the

screen makes the 10s max an excellent

media consumption device

honestly the main reason to not buy the

iPhone 10s is really simple the iPhone

10 are take everything that's good about

the 10s add a wide variety of colors

remove the telephoto camera while still

keeping the main camera intact and

replace the OLED display for an IPS

panel and boom you've got yourself an

iPhone 10 R which just so happens to be

a full $250 cheaper that's a big

difference compared to past generations

previously Apple would knock about $100

off of the entry-level iPhone but this

year you're getting the 10 R with almost

the exact same spec but with a major

price cut sometimes it's easy to miss is

that while the 10 R does have a lower

pixel density which is on par with the

iPhone 8 but the actual screen size

itself is right in between the 10s and

the 10s max the 10 R won't be out until

late October so I can't give it my full

recommendation just yet but on paper it

really does look like the full package

you just aren't missing much compared to

the 10s and that is my recommendation if

you really want the best and have the

budget for it by all means pick up the

10s it's a great phone for almost

everyone else though I really feel like

waiting for the 10 R is worth it
