I completely disagree about screen protectors, it has saved my screen many of time from being cracked

[@itz4u]

Can I ask you how do you know if you had one on? No disrespect

[@MichelleL1220]

I use a screen protector and have cracked then many times. Much cheaper and easier to change out a screen protector than to repair a broken screen.

[@andrewposner6703]

Not if you have Apple Care.

@@andrewposner6703That is not true. You can still ask for a repair, but it will cost money.

[@ky314]

Screen protectors crack easier than iPhone glass. So a cracked screen protector may just mean you wasted money on a screen protector.

[@JohnTheAquaruius]

i think sum would pretty much disagree about not having extra protection like a screen protector on their iphone or android deceives,

iPhone DOES support lossless audio over AirPlay, though. So it's still a great device for wireless audio streaming in high quality.

[@theOuTLaW365]

Use to be a repair tech for Verizon, always got a good laugh out of how ppl thought rice was magical enough to dry out a phone lol. Also would like to add glass screen protectors do help distribute impact of fall damage. Had many of phones come in that a customer thought their screen was damaged when it was a simple peel of the old glass screen protector for a new one.

[@lisabrewer7825]

I work with small children. I am terrified to go without a screen protector.

[@prodmxd]

I don’t get the point of them, saying you don’t need to use a screen protector. I mean, it’s literally preventing your phone from scratches on the display.

What brand is that magnetic iPhone charger you have on your desk? Very cool looking. Thanks & great video.

[@larryborowitz1670]

What about charging your phone to 100% during the night so u have a full phone for the day

[@user-ky2uk5hr5j]

it’s completely fine to charge overnight. Older phones really couldn’t charge overnight but this is no longer the case

[@a.a2359]

Your videos are cool but do you have any solution for UNABLE TO CHECK FOR UPDATE issue in iPad?

[@fromquake]

Depending on how rough your fingies are, you can rub through the screen’s protective coating. I’m not sure about how the newer coatings hold up but I’m not chancing it, even if it impacts the resolution of the screen slightly. You can always toss a new one on, where as replacing the phone’s screen after scratching up the center portion is more involved and expensive.

[@skixd88]

Agree

[@CrimeVid]

I have a couple of deep scratches on my screen protector, it is supposed to be as hard as the screen.I scratched the screen of my last iPhone. I am for the screen protector ! If anybody disagrees with any of this broadcast, listen to it again, there are a couple of paradigm shifts in it !

[@5464348643]

Agreed, countless scrolling swipes may well wear the protective coating. It sure does on screen protecters, which is why I replace main device protectors at 6 months or so. The smooth feel and smear resistance improvements of a new one is readily noticeable, plus may well end up protecting the actual screen from damage.

[@markmark35]

My wife broke 2 screen protectors, but not phone screen. Screen protectors are easy to replace.

[@elchamber]

There was that news story of a family charging an iPhone over night. But it was a iPhone 6. I've charged my 6S, XR and 13 mini over night before and nothing happened.

[@j0nathan_r0gers]

Ooh! I use the same Lamicall stand for the MagSafe charging puck (from Amazon).

[@AutisticShill]

Screen protectors are a must for me. I have dyspraxia aka developmental coordination disability. You know that really clumsy kid in school, yeah that was and is still me at 52. Not one day goes by without me dropping things. I can say I drop my phone daily.I am just really clumsy. I have tried with and without screen protectors, i highly recommend screen protectors. I took the chance with my iphone `2 and it's very scratched up. I also took off the case and lost it a long time ago. I cracked the back and it's now got a yellowing on the front. Strange that it took getting the back glass to be cracked for the phone to have issues. Cases and screen protectors are a must.

[@rhorchar]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question. I have cracked my screen protector several times, if I didn't have a screen protector then it would be my iPhone screen that cracked, correct? What are your thoughts.I love the feel of t he iPhone but I am afraid. Also, what are your thoughts on iPhone cases? Thank you.

[@dogbonemalone8977]

Love you guys, but I don't know where you're coming from on the screen protectors. I had a brand new 14PM last September. I didn't use a screen protector, and within 2 months, I had horrendous scratches on the screen! I have always been really careful. Since then, there's a cheapo screen protector on it all the time (£1.99 for four!). Yes, it may get scratched or damaged easily, but isn't that the whole point? Damage your screen protector, not your screen! Keep up the good work.👍

[@WillNewcomb]

Sure iphone screens are stronger than screen protectors. BUT... the added thickness of the screen protector WILL spread any sharp impact on the screenprotector to a larger area on the real screen underneath thus making it less liable to damage. It's science.

[@Angelus13AOV]

Here’s what I’m curious about… is a case still necessary for newer iPhones? It’s been said that they’re made so strong now that you don’t need a case but personally, I’m a little apprehensive to go caseless given how expensive the phones are.

[@marief8584]

I’ve ALWAYS used cases, because *I* personally feel better about doing so, for the same reasoning (how expensive it is). My sister also does, and on one instance, my niece dropped her phone out the car window as it was moving. When my sister was later able to go back to try and retrieve it after dropping my niece off somewhere, she’d found it had been run over. The case itself was completely destroyed but the phone inside it was still good. We don’t know if it’s because the phone is good, or maybe the case did what it was supposed to (impact resistance, etc) but - for OUR peace of mind, we’ve always gone with the cases.

[@RobertJones-zg9hv]

Hey lads any turn off musts for i phone 16.5.1 update?

[@neuspeed79]

How do they KNOW whether or not apple is listening? 🤔

[@DanCistone]

I really think all phones listen not just the iPhone. Case in point. I was talking to my parents who are on vacation, I asked them with cruise line then said viking, I repeated viking now I'm getting ads about viking cruises. another case. at the movies there was a preview and the cartoon looked like the old speed racer cartoons, I mentioned it to my wife that it looks like a speed racer cartoon now I'm getting info about speed racer. I haven't watched speed racer since the 70's. I have many others and I'm sure a lot of people do too.

[@B_COOPER]

The ZAGG screen protectors from Target that run up to around $50 are actually worth the extra buck. I had the privacy one, which come to find out is more a gimmick but still did what it supposed to do, anyway the higher priced ZAGG do not smudge and they felt great.

[@troymeyer02]

I just got a 14 pro max. Had it for a month and it got scratches

[@kdavis1492]

I have a problem with charging cubes. They will only work in an outlet for awhile. Then I have to move it to a new outlet. Happens with both Apple & non-Apple cubes. Outlets still work fine with other items. Same with power strips. I keep my phone in my front jeans pocket. I was struck by a car. My iPhone was seriously bent, but the screen didn't crack. No protection case, just phone. Phone worked fine.

[@j0nathan_r0gers]

Last year, I dropped my iPhone 13 Pro down an elevator shaft (from the 3rd floor). Meaning that tiny gap in between the elevator car when the door opens. I only had the OEM clear Apple MagSafe case on. No tempered glass screen protector. No cracks nor deep scratches nor cosmetic damages. Just a little elevator grease.

[@thomaslehmann12]

On myth number 2, did you guys not say in a video a while back that it is not good to charge your phone to 100% overnight? I recall something about the heat that is generated when charging your phone from 10% to 100% for example, as heat is the element that causes battery degeneration.

[@pa1954]

Use a 5 watt charger, then your phone will stay nice and cool,problem solved!

[@HALWG51]

The myth that you can keep your battery health at 100% just amazes me. I see many reviewers on KZbin spouting this nonsense. Some that I feel are good reviewers, such as Zollotech and Nick Ackerman constantly bring this up. You explained it very well. I have a iPhone 13 that I checked on the app iMazing. When it was new, it had 109% battery health. It showed 100% battery health for almost a year. Now, after 22 months it is at 93%. That is the reason some phones will show 100% battery health for extended periods of time.

[@WillNewcomb]

My iphone12pm is nearly 3 years old and for the last 18 months the battery health has stayed on 87% despite all the ios updates. I'm surprised.

[@ThomasEJohnson]

The question with charging is does it degrade battery health faster if you keep plugged in and charged at 100% whenever possible and only use your device on battery when needed…

[@barryshafer]

I have an additional comment for your screen protector section. There are screen protectors that block harmful Blue Light, which affect your eyes, and can cause problems falling asleep. With a Blue Light filtered screen protector, you will not have that problem. FYI, I use one, from EyeJust, and it reduces my eye strain and doesn’t affect my ability to fall asleep at night. I tend to use my iPhone 14 Pro Max, before I go to sleep. Plus, it does protect my phone screen from scratches, making it easier to trade in or sell, when I upgrade.

[@PayetteForward]

That is a great point! We're thinking about making a followup video and we may cover screen protectors again due to the insights we had in the comments! We appreciate you!

[@barryshafer]

@@PayetteForward Thank you!

[@RemainNameless614]

You realize that blue light crap is a myth right? There is no evidence proving that blue light does any damage to your eye.

I use my phone and ipads on stage as a conductor and musician. Without a matte screen protector it's impossible to see the screen content due to apple's screen reflecting the stage lights.

[@vividkodak]

soooo, the airpods don't support lossless audio?

[@ItsaB3AR]

iphone fell into a bath tub that had sand in it, put a huge scratch down the screen. If it had a screen protector ($15 for 3 on Amazon) the protector would be scratched and it could be disposed of, rather than a $99 repair from Apple. Use screen protectors, but don't overpay, never get a plastic one and either install it carefully to avoid bubbles or dust or have a friend with steadier hands help.

[@moelassus]

OMG you microwaved you coffee?!? 😉

[@MosheFeder]

With regard to battery health, are you guys saying that iPhone accessories like Chargie and MacBook accessories like AlDente that let you limit charging to 80% are a scam and don't actually help protect battery health?

I have an iPhone SE2020. I live in the Australian state of Tasmania . My iPhone is fully updated to 17.3 from memory. I get a plethora of drop out's .The screen goes black and then it might come back on again. It's always , "" did you hang up on me "" Answer > no I thought you did. " Rinse and repeat. We use the 4G network as the 5G is only about 10% rolled out. Why does this persistent error keep happening , is it a buggy update ? The phone is not knocked around and for a flagship and considering APPLE's devious practise's like slowing down the old iPhones and other stunts that they have pulled, like the iPod nano which bricked after 2 years of use and no way of replacement batteries ($200+ down the drain) then the iTunes fiasco , is there a problem with these updates or even the antenna ?Maybe it is yet another stunt of Apple's to try and get me to buy another iPhone. I found android far far superior TBH. I obviously have trust issues with APPLE who seem to suboptimal in doing the basic tasks.

Regarding screen protectors on iPhones you guys are full of crap. I was on my way to T-Mobile to have them put on a screen protector and I dropped my phone on the floor and scratched it. It was brand new and I was at a level for five years with a scratch on my nice iPhone, who wouldn’t want a screen protector on your phone after my experience you guys better get your heads checked

[@meta5175]

Keys won’t scratch the glass, but sand will, and they’re everywhere. Screen protector is so that when you scratch or broke the screen you can just replace it easy

[@slavonijacro]

No screen protector? No way I don’t feel confident to have my iPhone without screen protector because I dropped my phone lots of times and screen protector eventually gets cracked but phone glass on phone no but I’m sure that glass on phone would break without screen protector

so what reduces battery health if not charging to 100%?

[@PORRFNK]

Charging it to 100%

[@aviatordiego4769]

That’s just the way batteries work. They degrade over time. On every charge cycle your battery will be charged less and less since it won’t be able to hold the same charge, again, simply due to degradation.

With all the due respect charging to 100 and letting drained below 20 has significant impact, it's not a myth but physics. and a full cycle is 0 to 100 so each time u completely drain and recharge to 100 u lose one cycle

[@ObiKurt]

Noooooo sh*t I didn't know all of those. (you didn't tell me anything)

[@PORRFNK]

If screen protector is not necessary then why are some screens scratched and cracked? Take a look at all the online used marked places. The statement of charging your phone to 100% NOT true, all batteries degrade, it's the last tiny bit that kills the batteries because charging the last percents are hard due to slow charging with same current and it produces heat. It's not old battery technology, it's the same and has always been li-ion for the last 20 years. Please investigate and rectify your statements.
