The reason they dropped the Bionic naming was because originally it was created to distinguish a chip with Neural Engine, right now, after dropping the A11, every single chip in a phone sold/supported now has A12 and up and all of them have a Neural Engine.

[@f4ttie]

The 29 and 23 hours of video playback that Apple state doesn't mention KZbin playback, it just states video playback. Which probably means, airplane mode on, all apps closed and iOS formatted video content playing in the native video application. I think the LABS numbers are more real world accurate and Apple are just doing whatever they can to inflate their results.

[@vigour6786]

Not really inflating it, it’s the best case scenario. If you’re going camping without wifi or data and download a bunch of Apple TV+ series or movies you’ll get closer to the Apple claims than using KZbin like they tested.

[@anshumanrathore428]

LABS is also not justifying the thier ability who watches video on 200nits now days youtube supports HDR you will watch videos at least 70%(i.e in my case 700-800nits)

[@davidbelecci6970]

At night time 200 nits will be too bright, 150 nits is more realistic and cinema mode on your tv should be calibrated to even lower for SDR picture accuracy in a dark room. So it’s all relative. HDR videos are very sparse so testing that is quite pointless

[@RandomUser2401]

which of course no other manufacturer does. Also "new bendgate" - LOL. manhandling a device with brute and absurd raw force, then complaining that the *glass* back breaks while the device as such remains fully functional. Everything to scam clicks and views and bash at Apple these days, I guess.

[@AzVfL]

@@anshumanrathore428 I've seen 2 HDR vids on YT in my entire life…

[@CrizzyCrazy]

I think when testing any phone, iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, etc. maybe having the Software version listed as well could also be helpful. I know when new phones rollout there are always hot fixes in terms of updates so testing on an older version versus a new version could lead to slight discrepancies. It could also be negligible but I do feel like it could help those who look at the charts have a better overall understanding.

[@OfficialDeathScythe]

Different actions for the action button in different focus modes is my suggestion for features. I mean, if you go to the movies all the time, set a geolocation focus for movies and set it to ring/silent, during work you can have it set to open a specific app or maybe flashlight depending on what you do for work, then have a vacation focus that makes the action button a camera quickdraw. That would just make it perfect along with Linus's idea for the double press or hold. Certainly miles better than the backtap feature

[@Apipoulai]

The Apple Shortcuts app is your friend

[@D1g1talAli3n]

You can do this easily with Shortcuts

[@Dan-vl6fk]

phone repair guru actually looked into it, the weak point on the back glass is due to the metal plate that all other parts are anchored to isnt directly attached to the glass this year. even on the 14 and 15 where they open from the back the metal backplate is attached to the glass and for those they have another backplate just behind the display for all the components to attach to

[@NameName-ll2yx]

So the glass is easier/cheaper to replace but weaker? F. Never cared about the obscene cost of repairs as they always were covered by basic home insurance, which happens to be mandatory anyway for most.

[@NothingXemnas]

As if one giant glass plate on one side wasn't enough, Apple has 2, both of which can be broken if it is dropped. I understand we already use phone cases (for any smartphone, really), but you can't justify the use of titanium to compensate for more weakpoints. I mean... smartphones will always be dropped.

[@Nova2127U]

Actually, it seems the reason for the immediate glass break in Zack's (JerryRigEverything) test was due to the fact that Apple moved a support metal bracket from the back glass to the actual frame of the phone itself, which severely weakens that glass's rigidity.

@@kkshinichi fun fact: for the vast majority of apps, there is no iPadOS version, it's the exact same one as the iOS version, same installation file and every thing, so if Apple did decide to add stage manager to iPhone, you would already be able to run the "iPadOS version" of any app by default.

Opening any app is one tiny fraction of what you can do with the action button on iPhone 15 Pro. I don't know if there is an Android equivalent, but you can essentially do anything using shortcuts on iOS, and you can configure the action button to activate a shortcut, hence, almost infinite configurability.

[@daily_depression]

@@thebuddercweeper Yes there is. By default. And there's also lots of 3rd party programs if the default options aren't enough for you

[@rockandrollrockandrollrock6930]

I’d like to see some cases with a built in ssd. Could save a lot of money. Or I just rubber band one to it when I’m using it with my dragonfly for lossless. More nostalgia that way anyway I suppose lol

[@Entertainment-]

The Dragonfly was already possible with Lightning

[@dylanriner]

Hoping for focus integration with the action button in the future

[@tutacat]

A lot of those devices would also work on Lightning phones. iPhones already had mouse feature in accessibility

[@GenesisTyler749]

Would’ve loved to see you test a usb-c dock and plug in multiple devices. Everything you showed has been available since early iPhones, but required adapters for lightning. I want to see mouse, keyboard and display all at once! With a mic for audio capture!

[@orbitaljellyfish808]

A worthy comment/question We need to know

[@xXQuickpawXx]

Yeah, missed opportunity. Would have been cool to see them drop it in a docking cradle and essentially turn it into an iOS "desktop computer".

[@jjcranfill]

I feel like Apple is not getting nearly enough flak for the "you should use first party cable otherwise it might hurt the phone." Even if it's complete bullcrap, the point of going to usbc is that its compatible with usbc, not *apple's* usbc

[@castor9907]

They would've actually put hardware blocks in place but legally they weren't allowed to if they wanted to sell the phone in the EU. Everything Apple claims should be taken with an ocean or salt

[@davaljes911007]

I like how linus is still rocking that note 9 😂😂

[@protogen_1414]

But goodlock makes it possible to have 2 action buttons in the navbar in addition to the 3 buttons which you can all change the icon of with GoodLock NavStar. And we can clearly see about the pin gaps being off on 3rd party cables that Apple forces users again to use their"Certified" cables

[@jeffsims7386]

Linus, HDMI adapters have been around for the lightning port literally since iPhone 5s. I've had one for like a decade... Oh, and they made lightning to VGA as well.

[@vinyfiny]

But with USB-C you can use any random USB-C adapter, not something "certified" by Apple. Options are literally endless.

[@hidden4968]

If the back wasn’t glass. It wouldn’t break on the bend test and the camera module wouldn’t fall out either.

I got my 15 Pro Max yesterday after switching from an iPhone 8 Plus (RIP 3D Touch and Touch ID, you will be sorely missed (and pls apple you have a GODDAMN TOUCH ID SIDE BUTTON, GIVE IT TO MY IPHONE)). Setting it up and transferring took many attempts, even after updating software, literally the first time I've had an issue with this and I do transfers for customers at my workplace. Though starting it up, I don't think the issues are majorly horrible. It's still really shit and it's something you have to consider, and Apple needs to fix them. I do hope I get more use out of the USBC port soon, as if it's really as fully featured as it sounds like, that's amazing.

[@KyleDavis328]

That part has always baffled me. Fingerprint sensors in side-mounted lock buttons have been a thing for a while, and Apple has even done it themselves on iPads, but they won't put it on iPhone, just like Samsung won't put it on Galaxy S anymore. The reason I bought an S10e over a regular S10 back in 2019 was because the S10e had a side mounted fingerprint reader instead of the awful under screen one. My current S22's isn't awful, but I do miss having something that worked every time rather than 4 times out of 5.

[@max_thx]

Im also in the rip 3D Touch Camp. What really helped me was adjusting the Haptic Touch speed in the settings app to high. Now it feels nearly as snappy as 3D Touch once did just not as precise

[@worstenbroodje6832]

I like the action button, I just don't understand why it has to replace the physical mute toggle. Just keep both..

[@GeorgeWilkins]

Not sure bringing up the drop footage from Apple Track is particularly helpful given they dropped it from an "extreme height" as they put it which was after multiple drops at regular drop heights as they wanted to see it break eventually.

[@tamparockout17]

Can't believe people are jizzing their pants over being able to mirror your screen and use a usb mic with this new model when I could literally do that on my droid 2 from 2012.

[@lexnastin9011]

It's funny how iPhone supported mirroring the display over HDMI since literal 2010, and noone ever talked about it. They have an official cable for it on their website. I'm certain that if you connected your USB mic to an older iPhone, it would've used it too. I'm amazed how many people never knew that they could do all this on their iPhone, even before USB-C

I have a third party app installed that means my bixby button plays/pauses media, turns on/off the torch, and toggles do not disturb mode. The app is called button mapper.

So, what Phone do you use, as most modern Phone don't do that.

[@RyTrapp0]

@@lupolinar An LG V60 that's on its last leg lmao. And, today, there's just no alternative to it - if you're into these sorts of hardware features, you can only downgrade from here. Before LG(had the V20, V30, and V60; far from perfect but killer hardware), my preferred brand was HTC. Who also had nice phones and did some against-the-grain stuff. Who also quit the phone business because it was like me and two other people buying them. Ugh.

[@Nedlius]

@@lupolinar You're right, most modern phones don't have all of those features, and neither does mine. I have the ZenFone 8, which only has the headphone jack of the features I mentioned, which is the most important of the 3 to me. To my knowledge, basically zero modern smartphones have replaceable batteries (really looking forward to seeing the EU's laws bring this back) and only some mid-range or budget phones have microSD card slots, and I guess Sony's flagships still have them. However, this does not stop me from criticizing every single company that decides to release a new phone that still doesn't have these features, including the phones that I buy. Nowadays, I go for the flagship phone that has the most features for a decent price. Last time I was looking for a new phone, I was deciding between Asus, Sony, and ZTE. Next time I shop for a phone, I will likely be deciding between the same companies, since they seem to be the only ones I can think of that release flagship phones that still have features. You better believe that I criticize Asus or whichever company's phone I happen to be using every time they fail to include these awesome features. It would be a dream come true if the EU made a few more consumer tech laws mandating expandable storage like microSD card slots as well as wired audio solutions like 3.5 mm headphone jacks.

[@tram1839]

something they need to clear up is whether or not a third party USB C charger will void warranty, if so they need to loose a lot of money to teach them they cant keep getting away with shit like that.

[@stevengoetz6773]

I'd bet it will only void your warranty if it was deemed that the damage was caused by a faulty charger or cable.

[@tram1839]

@@stevengoetz6773 that's not how apple usually does things, if the charging port is damaged in any way, even if it was a manufacturing issue they're still gonna say you did something wrong, they usually don't even investigate what did it and just replace the thing.

[@shinaikouka]

Awkwardly, the one thing I’m trying to find is a good USB-C to Lightning adapter so I can use my old FLIR One with my new iPhone. I tried a few Apple Pencil charging cables, but I didn’t have much luck. Not sure if the FLIR just wasn’t charged enough, but I’ll have to try it again later.

[@taterthotsalad]

You might have to "re-pin it" yourself. Fortunately, these days, that is relatively easy to do, if you own the tools already.

[@Gurenn83]

Funny how Apple stated not to use Android USB C cables. There were already a lot of testing which proves that iPhone 15s can use any USB C cable (except the very cheap ones which I never use at all).

[@KyleDavis328]

It's because despite losing the battle with the EU over their cable monopoly, they still want you to buy their over priced POS cables. That's what it's always been, MFI only existed to make 3rd party cables more expensive, because they know they're marking up prices way more than they have to.

[@ArchusKanzaki]

Tbf, that's actually truer than it looks. USB-C is basically just a port, but what the cable is capable of doing is very wild west in variations of supported protocols, speed, etc. Its very much possible that some grandma bought the cheapest USB-C they can find, which is not built to specs or omit some protocol that may cause safety issue. The Lightning certification basically side-step most of that issue by making sure its standardized to what Apple likes. The Thunderbolt certification is also pretty similar things.

[@Jehty21]

​@@ArchusKanzakiwhat safety issue? I've been using the cheapest USB-C cables for 8 years now. Never had an issue. For me that sounds like fearmongering made by Apple.

[@ArchusKanzaki]

@@Jehty21 something like the cable is not built up to standard of fast charging but the chip inside the cable reports its actually able to do fast charging. Either that or just general complaint like the cable not able to output into display port/HDMI because its actually USB 2.0, not 3.0. There are alot of cables for example that advertised 100W charging speed.... but its actually just USB 2.0 if you try to do data transfer. Basically, its just way less confusion if you can just tell everyone to buy more expensive, "certified", cables. Its not like Apple users cannot spend few more dollars for cable anyway.
