  • My brain honestly accepts the dynamic island over the notch. Something about having the image continue around the entire phone instead of being disconnected from the notch allows me to ignore the new design more and make it feel more natural
  • please send help soon. Matt said if i keep trying to escape from the This Is basement he will strand me on the Dynamic Island with no music :(
  • I really like how much more balanced the energy is on the channel between you two . It kinda felt like an Austin Evans 2 channel at first but it's starting to feel more like it's more of a Matts thing now. Keep up the great work Matt, been loving how much more comfortable you are on camera than before.
  • If Apple had the option to place USB C on the iphone or hold off on replacing the iphone port as long as possible to continue amassing royalties from third party manufactures from their lightning patent, I think they would choose the latter. Tim Cook's Apple, coming from a supply chain focus, is successful producing at scale and of course, a little more invested in any business opportunity that yields more profit.

    i love hearing both of you talk. Keep me smiling.
  • To me that's the best description of why I don't like the Island. It being something you constantly interact with and is constantly changing form and drawing your attention makes it so you're always aware that it's there, while with the Notch, you just got used to that being how the phone looks and you forgot that it was there, not to mention watching full screen content, although not great with the notch, is MUCH better than with that huge pill + the no man's land of pixels next to it.
  • @hanktank45
    E-sim is probably the biggest gripe I'd have with this. It's hard to have a good experience with a phone carrier. If you never change sims it's fine, but if you do it's a hassle.
  • @azimalif266
    Carriers started to add restrictions that only allow 2 sim swaps per year on e sims for free. More then that, you have to pay. Really pro consumer right there. There is a micro SIM size if you are so concerned about battery space.
  • Using the iPhone 14 pro myself, I truly cannot understand why they haven’t integrated all notifications through the dynamic island
  • @tonylolo2008
    13:20 ESIM for me, somebody who uses prepaid, was a tough move. I reached out to AT&T to have my current sim converted to an eSIM before I got the 14. I thought that everything would be smooth sailing after that, and that I could just transfer it over to my new phone at setup, but it still required another phone call to AT&T and another 30 minutes of waiting on the phone for them to do it manually. Was it the worst experience? No. Is it going to be annoying if I have to upgrade in the future?Yes.
  • @nroman1977
    I still don't know why we have a notch at all? Why don't we have cameras behind the screen that just turns off those pixels when the camera is in use? If we can have clear roll up screens this should not be so hard.
  • One benefit of e-sim is phones that have upgradable storage won't have to use double-depth trays to accommodate both sim and memory card, and for those that don't have upgradable storage they could potentially now add it by replacing the sim tray with a memory card tray/reader. If they don't mind not having that space freed up.
  • @timson3489
    You were right about the UBC on the 15 lol
  • @rlnash0123
    Loved this video! You two make talking tech fun instead of just the same ol lame ol phone reviews. Thank you
  • @Rambo9700
    How can anyone get confused in thinking their phone is awake? Or is it a different set up in the UK? I can barely see the image with the always on. It’s gone 11pm and I’m at 51% battery heavy usage. My main concern is the MagSafe seems weaker compared to my 12.
  • @kygem
    i think dynamic island will be a feature to be seen for the next few years like austin said. i also think the next step in removing that will be screen integrated cameras and sensors, for a full screen display
  • @Goyle86
    Been rocking a normal sim and esim simultaneously dual carriers on my z flip 3 for a year, that should've been the route to go for convenience
  • @Randii225
    I’m also having focus issues.. I thought I was the only one, it’s pretty annoying. My iPhone XS never had this issue. This camera system its a little overwhelming. Seems like the main camera is forcing itself on macro or cinematic mode without using those features. They need to fix this with an update
  • @ha-itsme
    i really wish any other manufacturer don't use esim. i have an extra sim just for emergency uses, like when i really late to pay bills or when certain places have better signal on my other sim. using esim means i don't have that options anymore. i am really not fond of having 2 devices when i can just carry a power bank.
