1
So the iPhone lineup got a massive overhaul this year.
2
We're seeing big jumps in performance,
3
in battery life, in camera capabilities.
4
This is a very stacked year for Apple's iPhones.
5
So these are the review units I got in,
6
a 17, an Air, and both pros.
7
This year, the pros have boxes that showcase the backs of the devices.
8
And because it's a full metal unibody back,
9
the boxes are printed with this shiny metallic ink.
10
And inside, because there are mostly eSIM devices around the world,
11
there's no more SIM tool.
12
You just get the charging cable as well as a single piece of paper
13
that says that you no longer need SIM tools Welcome to the world of eSIMS even up here in Canada Okay,
14
so these are the four devices I have the regular iPhone
15
17 is pretty much the same aesthetic as last year It's probably the sleeper phone from Apple's lineup this year.
16
This is a very awesome device It just doesn't look all that special.
17
The iPhone Air is super thin This will get its own video in the near future
18
because this deserves an entire different kind of conversation.
19
But the Pro devices are a very different and unexpected shape this year.
20
These, right when I first saw them,
21
I was like, these are so big and bulbous.
22
And a week later, I still think they're large,
23
but they've definitely grown on me.
24
These do not look or feel anything like previous generations of iPhones.
25
The biggest shift is just that unibody design.
26
This bottom panel here is now rounded and because it's just one piece of metal that is the entire chassis.
27
It just sits in your hand very differently.
28
The orange color is super orange.
29
When I saw this at the event,
30
I was like, this is way too loud.
31
Getting it in studio, it's even louder.
32
The blue has grown on me.
33
This is like, yeah, this is a really nice blue.
34
It just looks better with the nice studio lighting than it did at the event.
35
All of the iPhone 17 devices have Ceramic Shield 2 on the front glass.
36
This is less reflective and more scratch resistant than last year's glass,
37
but if you wanna fully protect your phone,
38
You still need a case and screen protector.
39
This is the new ghost case from dbrand But they have a new one this year called tank with customizable buttons
40
So about the displays the iPhone 17 finally gets the 120 Hertz Pro motion panel I'd love to believe
41
that Apple did this in response to like us tech nerds begging for it But I don't think that's the case.
42
I think Apple was just like that.
43
It's finally the right time We're done milking our customers with their 60 Hertz panels.
44
The other displays are also very nice These are all finally like 120 hertz, ProMotion, OLED.
45
It basically caught up to the rest of the Android world.
46
It's a very exciting time for iPhone users because we finally have good screens across the entire lineup.
47
They also get brighter at the top end this year.
48
It can go to 3,000 nits at the top outdoors,
49
and it's a lot brighter in terms of numbers than the 2,000 of the previous gen,
50
but keep in mind that even though these are a thousand more nits than the previous generation at the top end,
51
how we perceive light is logarithmic,
52
So it's not as big of a jump as you might think.
53
Now, in terms of battery life,
54
these two devices, the Pro and the Pro Max,
55
have very impressive battery life.
56
But it does drain quite fast in heavy games.
57
If you don't slam the GPU,
58
though, I think that Pro Max is a two-day battery for many people.
59
And if you're someone that takes advantage of the optimized battery charging,
60
like the thing that caps it up to 80% to preserve the kind of longevity of your battery life,
61
because this is so big,
62
it's still going to be like a day and a half battery at an 80% charge.
63
Charging is faster on some of the iPhone 17s.
64
They can hit 40-wire charging if the battery's depleted enough,
65
and it'll sustain it for a little bit of time,
66
but then it'll drop down quite quickly.
67
The pack on the iPhone Air,
68
like, the battery here is way better performing than I thought it would be,
69
just because of how thin it is.
70
It's actually quite impressive.
71
The only thing that bums me out is that the pack is just,
72
it's so unique to this thing.
73
Like, nothing else can hold this pack properly.
74
Even the big iPhone 17 Pro Max.
75
I demoed this at the event,
76
but like I thought maybe at home I can just finagle it enough to get it to fit.
77
It doesn't it's just
78
It's so frustrating It'll charge because like the coils are somewhat aligned
79
but for proper like magnet to magnet contact It only works on the iPhone air So unfortunate
80
Okay performance every year we get a new chip
81
and it's faster like you'd expect Last year was an unusually large jump in performance for both CPU and GPU
82
This year is actually an even larger step up in performance.
83
The A19 Pro chips are very powerful.
84
Now, I'm sure the chip and the architecture and all the engineering around it is fantastic,
85
but I think a big part of why they're performing so well is because of that new vapor chamber.
86
So they showed this thing at the event.
87
It seems like a very interesting piece of technology.
88
We actually got to demo it at Apple.
89
We got to hold it and put them in hot water just to see how they work.
90
The thing that, okay, just to be clear what a vapor chamber even does.
91
It's really simple.
92
It just takes heat and then spreads it out evenly across the surface very quickly.
93
Now on these phones, they're just doing it to pull off heat from the chips
94
and all that super hot dense area and pull it away onto the outer aluminum shell or the bodies to radiate heat.
95
There's no vent.
96
There's no like active airflow here.
97
It's just passive dissipation of heat.
98
But because that vapor chamber is so effective,
99
it allows Apple to crank these devices a little bit harder knowing
100
that they can dump off that heat a little bit more effectively.
101
And these Pro phones are able to sustain a high level of performance for a surprisingly long time.
102
And I also think that if they took that vapor chamber and just stuck it into this chassis,
103
like the existing iPhone 16 Pro chassis,
104
it wouldn't be nearly as effective.
105
Like the glass and titanium isn't nearly as thermally conductive,
106
and that vapor chamber would have been wasted in this device.
107
Now, you get 12 gigs of RAM on the Pro models,
108
same with the iPhone Air.
109
The regular iPhone 17 just gets 8 gigs of RAM.
110
It's not immediately clear as to what that extra RAM is really for.
111
If you think about last year,
112
Apple was selling these devices,
113
their flagship devices, with just 8 gigs of RAM,
114
and they were touting the whole,
115
like, you know, these devices are future forward,
116
it's going to be Apple intelligence ready, and all that stuff.
117
Maybe they ran into some kind of,
118
like technical obstacle where they realize the only way to deliver the things
119
that they promised they would deliver last year is just like
120
stock these things with 12 gigs of ram who knows uh
121
but i do think it's going to be something that's forward
122
looking it maybe will be revealed at wwdc as to why
123
that extra ram is necessary or beneficial a couple things
124
that do come to mind though i do think that right now
125
when you use apple intelligence
126
and you're trying to use the on-device language models it's there's
127
a little bit of a delay like i think there's some
128
swaps of memory like as it's loading the model in and out of memory.
129
I do think that
130
if you have more RAM you can keep the model in memory just ready to go at all times
131
so that series a little bit more responsive, maybe.
132
I don't think it's camera related though because the Air,
133
even with its single camera, still gets 12 gigs.
134
Okay, speaking of cameras,
135
on the Pro models we have a camera system where all three cameras are finally running 48 megapixel sensors.
136
This is something I think a lot of the camera enthusiasts
137
were hoping would eventually happen the biggest change comes for that telephoto with its 4x optical zoom,
138
which is technically a step down from the 5x that we saw on last year's device,
139
but the sensor is way bigger this year,
140
which allows Apple to do that cropped sensor thing that they like to do,
141
which technically gives them an optical-like 8x zoom.
142
So now, on the Pro iPhones,
143
you get a camera system with high resolution and,
144
more importantly, large sensors to go with it,
145
and you just get way better image quality when you combine the two like that.
146
The 4X optical is sharper than last year's 5X,
147
and then when you do use that 8X crop in,
148
you lose some of that sharpness because you're using a smaller portion of that sensor,
149
but it still looks good.
150
I think this is the most complete camera package that Apple's ever put on any of the phones,
151
where all of the lenses just feel sharp and very usable.
152
The main camera and the ultra wide deliver really good pictures,
153
but even on the iPhone 17 Pro Max,
154
I still think Pixel and Samsung flagships deliver something a little better in the stills department,
155
especially in low light conditions.
156
Now for video, iPhones are typically better in this space.
157
It's definitely better than the Pixel's video output.
158
I do think that Samsung's S25 Ultra,
159
like their flagship, can be quite competitive.
160
The Samsung handles colors a little bit better,
161
but iPhone handles imperfect lighting a little bit more reliably.
162
If you're interested in 4K,
163
120 frames per second video,
164
the Pro models can do it.
165
The iPhone Air cannot do it,
166
despite having the same kind of chip.
167
Well, it's got a bend down GPU,
168
so it's got one core less,
169
but this cannot do that high frame rate video or like that super high frame rate video that these two can.
170
The front-facing camera is also so much better.
171
The old one was a 12 megapixel sensor.
172
The new one's 18 megapixels and it's a much larger sensor.
173
You can do landscape selfies without actually rotating the device and everything about this new front-facing camera is better.
174
The way it handles color,
175
the way it handles lighting is just an awesome improvement
176
and this is on all of the new iPhone 17 devices including the regular base model.
177
So if you take a look at pricing,
178
the regular iPhone 17 is a pretty decent value this year.
179
You get 256 gigs of storage.
180
You get the new ProMotion display.
181
You get a really improved front-facing camera.
182
Like this is a very solid package.
183
I think that Apple typically doesn't offer something so good for $799,
184
at least not in the past.
185
The iPhone Air product, this is a separate conversation.
186
This will have its separate video.
187
I'm trying to make this work,
188
but it's a whole conversation.
189
The pro devices.
190
So the value proposition when it comes to the pro devices is always a little bit tricky,
191
but this year I feel like all the feature updates and kind of upgrades they've provided on this thing,
192
awesome battery life, really good triple camera system that's just like very complete,
193
plus all the thermal improvements that give it just awesome overall performance.
194
If you're into technology and you look at this and you can't appreciate like what's happening on this device,
195
I don't know what to say.
196
This is a really solid offering from Apple.
197
I think that when it comes to like Apple's pro devices,
198
as, as much as they like to like blow smoke and hype things up,
199
I really think that this is amazing year for the pro devices.
200
I really do.
201
Okay.
202
Uh, that's my take on these.
203
Hope you guys enjoyed this video.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
