Apple’s iPhone 14 Event “Surprised” Me

Apple wrapped up their annual September Event yesterday. At long last, the 6.1” iPhone 14 gained a bigger sibling, the 6.7” iPhone 14 Plus. Leaks surrounding the pro phones were validated, but only from a hardware standpoint. The software-as many postulated-was a far cry from a simple “dot-and-pill” that had been rumored. The “dynamic island” (l-o-frickin’-l) cleverly places UI elements around the floating “notch” with amazingly elastic animations to boot. The Watch Series 8 had a fairly boring year, but some women may benefit from improved ovulation tracking for better family planning. The Apple Watch SE 2 brought a new processor and lower price to the entry-level model, and the titanium Series Watch disappeared in favor of the new Apple Watch Ultra. The Watch Ultra packs a bunch of adventure-focused hardware and software features like a dive sensor, siren, dual speakers, three microphone array, a larger 49mm display wrapped in sapphire, a huge crown with surrounding crown guard, a new Action Button, and a whole lot more. We’ll talk about everything-from crash detection, to dive features, to the new health sensor, and more. Concerning the iPhone, we’ll talk about our happy surprises and cautious… optimism? Don’t miss this one! Oh, and let us take a bit of a victory lap concerning the AirPods Pro 2 rumors we were skeptical of!

[@ScatteredMonolith]

I see absolutely no reason for your everyday smartwatch to also need to double as a dive computer... When you're bringing so much gear to a dive already, renting a computer (or buying your own for 200-300 bucks if you dive often enough) that will remain absolutely usable for a decade is clearly the better option. Not to mention the laughable battery life... I'm not some crazy outdoor explorer, but all the multi day hikes I've been on would require me to take a power bank to keep my "explorer" watch charged. And power banks perform very poorly in cold weather, making them a hassle to deal with + unnecessary extra weight. Getting one of the cheaper models and staying on the 2-3 year upgrade cycle, and buying one dive computer that you use for 10 years seems like the obvious choice. If you need a watch for multi day hikes, the battery life is insufficient and you should get a watch from a competing brand like Garmin. The "outdoor" features of this watch seem like pure aesthetic, including the alarm function... JUST TAKE A WHISTLE, IT WON'T RUN OUT OF BATTERY! The only actually game changing outdoors feature in my opinion is the satellite functionality in the iPhone 14, since very few people actually buy the 300 dollar satellite trackers + subscription when they go on hikes.

[@espressomatic]

There are literally MILLIONS of people that have been waiting for a larger and bulkier Apple watch. Would it sell better at $499? Yes. Do some of those people wish it were made of heavier stainless steel? Absolutely. But the Ultra is going to sell like a raging wildfire ripping through California and is going to make a large impact on Apple Watch bottom-line over the next 12 months.

[@JanStraube]

You‘re missing one change with the SE: nylon back. This might do the trick for me since I had contact issues on my skin with previous Apple Watches where the case (around the sensors) might get contact to the skin.

[@TheAfroman]

This is true. When I was at Apple I helped field and capture all sorts of safety issues like this. Skin irritations from materials was one of them. Dyes in specific color bands, metal allergies. Trust me there is a whole department at Apple for that.

[@richeyrich2203]

You were allergic to the aluminum?

[@TheAfroman]

@@richeyrich2203 yeah some people have issues with metals reacting to longer exposure to skin contact. You are fine at first. The heat and sweat. Cooling and heat changes will make you react bad. Also look up the case. It also contains nickel in the alloy and anodization process. And Nickel allergies are definitely higher than you think.

[@JanStraube]

@@richeyrich2203 I am not sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MatejaMaric]

That’s partially why Series 4 and later Apple Watches switched to using an all-ceramic and sapphire crystal back, to eliminate all metal-on-skin contact and possible allergic reactions. Maybe you had an earlier model (Series 0-3) which still used metal on the back? Also, stainless steel and titanium models exist. Maybe those would be better for you? The other reason for the switch is that, unlike metal, ceramic is radio-transparent, which helps with Bluetooth and cellular reception.

[@dennisvanmierlo]

Finally, a great video review on the  event. The UI interaction with the pill cutout is just brilliant. That’s old school  engineering. But, because the Airpods Pro 2 do not have HiFi capabilities, no new iPhone or Airpods Pro for me this year. My iPhone 13 Pro and Airpods Pro still work just fine.

[@chazerrrr]

I admire how they took that pill and made it useful and interactive. Such a great idea. Hope it works well!

As some one who does backcountry Spilt boarding, hiking, scuba diving, surfing the Watch Ultra is amazing to see. if it can actually replace a dive computer the price along is worth it. the loud noise is a huge addition to BCA Beacons. obviously this watch is for a very niche group of people so it will get a lot of hate

Implants, contacts, hud vehicle displays and watch bands that like to displays so your computer is always with you. I think we will only have 5 more years of the phone as it exists today.

[@mikldude9376]

There is always things they can do without resorting to gimmicks mate , for a start they could add a 3.5 mm mic/headphone Jack, or shock horror an SD card , they could rebuild some value back into the handsets by supplying us with an updated fast charger brick like some of the Chinese phones do , maybe even throw in a cheap rubbery case instead of charging us $50 or 75 bucks for one . Maybe even keep the SIM card and just give the option to use either the card or the sim …….. instead of taking yet another feature away.

Have to go see the new watches in person, but I don’t think think I’d go with the Ultra. I hike occasionally, so the battery life seems quite nice. But the size. :/ The more bulky the watch, the easier it’s to accidentally hit and scrape stuff with it. Also it’ll be more uncomfortable under a sleeve. I have series 1 so an upgrade would be nice, I think I’ll go with series 7 on a discount if there’s no noticeable battery life difference between normal 8. New iPhone definitely, iPhone 7 to 14 Pro Max. That’s a decent upgrade in all aspects except weight and pocketability.. :)

I am constantly looking for a way to turn that off. I am a fan of the deep purple as well, so time will tell. Thanks for the hard work on this.

As someone who would be buying my phone in the US (because its easier, cheaper, and some of the other places I spend my time don't even have apple stores) but spends much of his time outside the country (including in places where eSIM is just not a thing), honestly the eSIM only move kinda blows, especially since this was the year I was finally excited to upgrade from my 11 pro

buy from Hong Kong like everyone else.

Great video Quinn. You know what's crazy, think about how great 3d touch would have been on this new phone with the 'dynamic island.' Finally Apple built a software feature that would cause people to actually use 3d touch (which I happened to use, though most obviously did not). Now we have to long press on the paradise island instead of just force pressing it, which would have been fantastic.

You're holding it wrong. Cracked me up!!!

[@kenjifuse8599]

I dont know normally comment as I have nothing of great substance to say. I do however love your videos and look forward to watching them no matter the topic. Thanks for your hard work

[@ronniearulnesan1709]

great video thanks! aside from size are there any features in the pro max over the pro?

[@roabauk]

One point about the satellite link. That costs and usually it is going up to the 3 digits/year depending on plan or features taken, see Garmin and Spot distress communicators for more info.

[@hiteshchand]

One of the best summery video 🤟

[@chaotictattoo]

Wow cool. Dynamic island. A huge moving notch now.

As a Diver and new Apple devices user, I really would like to try the Ultra... My current Dive Computer Watch is an Suunto D4i, not small and I use it as daily watch also when not wearing my Apple Watch 7

[@abalanceddiet]

15:24 I know this is a feature on pixel phones (at least the modern ones? I know my pixel 6 pro has it and I think the 5 did as well). It's called action stabilization, not sure how well it works but their 2x zoom stabilization (locked I think they call it) is actually insanely good to the point where it looks like you're using a tripod so I'd assume the action stab is the same way.

[@Goffas_and_gumpys]

I'm kinda tempted by the Ultra. I love big watches and this makes an already pretty good watch even betterer 🙂 I had pre-ordered BUT I'm going to go instore first to check it out "in the flesh". The iP14PM was kind've m'eh for me so I'll stick with the 12PM for another year. Good analysis of the event/devices buddy.

[@espressomatic]

I'm in the same boat, but also jumping on the 14PM. 2 years is the sweet spot for phone upgrades and holding onto the 12PM another year will significantly erode its resale value.

ALSO… for Diving, the watch app is good for casual divers. Real Divers need the app to wirelessly connect to their Air Tanks and show how much air they have left. Like other watches do.

[@eriknielsen1231]

8:28 I remember in WWDC they announced the running features mentioned here are coming to watch OS 9, so you can get them on other Apple watch.

[@o751106]

I was impressed with the reveals!

[@michaelwave2587]

The personalized spatial audio is already in iOS 16! It's a wonderful little feature an I highly recommend anyone who has spatial audio supported AirPods to use it.

[@sjnavarrete]

Backtrack will be on all watches. Running beta on my series 6 and it is on there and functional.

[@kazemegaman]

I really hope they improve all the reliability issues with the APP. Better sound and noise canceling modes are cool and all but I hope they fixed all the issues that plagued the 1st gen APP.

[@-_--th8vp]

Hey! I was wondering the new satellite feature is awesome and great for saftey but at the moment, it says its in Us and Canada. Do you think it would come to the uk? And If i purchase a 14 pro max now, would it still have the hardware for the satellite even if i wouldnt be able to use it at the moment!

[@BruceRichwineJr]

I agree with Apple not charging for the Satellite connectivity. Especially since T-Mobile announced a partnership with Starlink starting next year for the same purposes.

[@8uhayat]

Thats why I watch your vids and not the apple events. Good job!
