iPhone 16/16 Pro Unboxing: End of an Era!

I appreciate the honest take. The truth is Apple has given us nothing for years and every KZbinr pretends to be excited about it so they keep getting invited to the events. The thing I appreciate about your coverage this year is you made it clear that you are unimpressed with Apple’s refusal to innovate. Your honesty and integrity is why I watch you.

[@Marynicole830]

Ok I’m about to leave apple myself, I’m not defending them here but I was never told it was about space? The headphone jack was taken out to get higher ratings for water resistance. I guess it does have some to do with space because sealing a headphone jack takes more room than sealing a button. Not gonna say they didn’t benefit themselves for doing it because they released their AirPods but the water resistance thing was the reason it was planned in the first place. Water resistance is the one thing I really need since I have a toddler in the house.

That !BUTTON! reminds me of those fingerprint readers we had on some older phones. I think my honor 8 back then had one on the back that was a finger print reader, a button and a touch pad. I really loved using it to scroll through notifications and open the camera. It was such a smart think you take the phone out of the pocket, and while you pull it out you could easily already unlock it through fingerprint and then swipe down and you had your notifications on the screen all in one smooth motion. And checking notifications is literally one of the things you do the most on a phone.

[@AnnoyingNea]

I had an S8 for like 6 or 7 years before it died (as in, screen so cracked it was slightly awkward to use, I actually still use it sometimes to take pics because weirdly enough, it still works well, except bad battery) and acquired a 150 bucks phone, a Motorola G24. Never heard of that brand before ngl but never cared about brands. Before Samsung I had a HTC, before that an LG What I really quickly got used to was 1) Being able to unlock the phone with my thumb whenever I pick up my phone without even having to look at it in any way due to the very convenient placement of the touch ID button 2) Being able to quickly wave my phone twice in a small motion to activate a flashlight, since otherwise you always have to get the menu from on top and press on it and then hold the phone in the direction you wanna point it at. Just felt really nice. (Flip it twice instead to activate camera, also kinda cool) 3) Not having to pick up my phone or press any buttons to quickly check my screen, as I could just double tap it, without having to unlock it (4. a Sleep mode whichs time I can set that entirely greys out the screen, making it feel less like my eyes are being burned out of my skull and also makes me more aware of the time) Downside: It SOUNDED like a good camera but holy shit does it suck xD

It frees up space, water/dust proofs the phone more, why have 2 separate holes when you can have one for charging, headphones, data transfer ect. - The brick is a good point although I also understand Apple where many people have bricks at their homes and many just buy different third party bricks

Two insane things to me.

It's just a nice idea to give more external controls, I do wish they made it useful not just for the camera but maybe that's a rebrand waiting to happen for next year. I do find it a little weird that they made it an actual physical button when they already put a vibration motor behind it, I feel like they could've made it fully capacitive.
