Shadowing Practice: Week In My Life With The iPhone 18 Pro Max As a Software Engineer - Learn English Speaking with Video

I feel like this year the headlines have been all about the new iPhone Duo

and you know for good reason that thing looks amazing but

that just means something else was kind of swept under the rug.

Now I've been using the new iPhone 18 Pro Max for the past almost two weeks at this point

and I can confidently say that the headlines they don't tell the whole story.

So this time I wanted to take you through a week

in my life as a software engineer use the new iPhone 18 Pro Max and tell you what it's really all about.

okay what's going on y 'all yesterday was my birthday i

turned 26 that's pretty brutal you know 25 was still young

but 26 it started to push into that unk territory

so i just i just feel old

but the birthday itself was really nice my girlfriend surprised me

with this i guess a little staycation she hung up all these balloons

and stuff on the wall but yeah we went to the spa had a nice dinner

and we just came back from breakfast

and it just happens to be the 18th of september as well

which means the new iphones have just launched

and i've just received the message from the store from

which i bought mine from that it's ready for pickup

so we're gonna be checking out of the hotel real soon go pick up the phone

and then i need to get some work done as well.

We have performance review season and all this stuff is going on.

Let's go.

it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I went with the glazer color this year.

Light blue is definitely my favorite color.

Now I got the one terabyte option because I take a lot of photos

and videos but the price is steep

so i'd recommend going for the 512 gigs and you know

that should be more than enough for most people who don't shoot log footage

and stuff and even if you do just transfer

that video file over to your laptop or something

and then delete it from your phone

and you'll be all right now the chatter on the internet

has been all about this phone being the same as last

year without few small upgrades i don't think the intention is to have this insane year over year upgrades anymore

and if we use that logic then even Samsung has just been re -releasing the same phone for the last few years.

So this phone is more for people coming from the pre -USB -C iPhones

or if you just want to ball out with the newest colors.

Guess you could make an argument for the new camera features if you're creative.

We'll talk about those a bit more in detail later

but let's be honest the updated camera app could have just been a software update.

Also the name glacier is definitely living up to its name

because the new vapor chamber is for sure keeping the chip ice cold.

To this day I've never had the phone start lagging on me, all the display being dimmed in direct sunlight

and these kind of things can go unnoticed easily especially

when you get used to it but these are the details that still make iPhone king.

Everything just simply works and you don't have to even think about it.

Lastly I gotta mention the battery life.

I've been on this phone for a couple of weeks now

and i can easily get 10 hours plus screen time

if i needed to like if you want a device

that you never have to worry about charging

when you're just going about your day then this is it

for sure okay the phone is mostly set up now still got a couple of apps

that i need to install for some reason the iCloud setup

um didn't pick up all the apps from my old phone

but for the most part the setup process was really smooth

we're about to have this all hands meeting where basically every

two weeks people can showcase whatever they've been working on and

if you've been watching the vlogs then you know

that i've been talking about this project that i've been working on

and how it's been very stressful and stuff finally that project has come

not to an end

because you know how it goes these projects they never really end they just evolve over time

but finally it's at a point where i can actually demo it

so i'm about to have this demo in front of i

don't know how many people are going to join probably like 200

or something okay one more thing before we lock in i finally got a dining table

and please tell me i'm not the only one i have

this beautiful setup over there built for whatever reason recently ever

since getting the dining table i've been finding myself working here

i don't know it just feels like i unlocked a whole

new area of the apartment after i got this dining table and yeah i just been really liking working here

all right just going over the annual performance review stuff before the meeting

and i have to write my self -assessment this year i think i did really good i had

that one major project that i've been talking about on the channel

and that project was and will be used for some pretty important stuff

which i can't comment on but still i don't know

if this is enough for a senior promo though

because i haven't done any mentoring during this period

which is a quality for seniors and yeah we just haven't had any interns

or really any new devs joining for a while

so yeah i'll keep you all updated on how things go later this year

and then it was finally time for my demo one thing

that youtube has helped me a lot with is public speaking

so nowadays i get way less nervous when presenting stuff

and yeah i think people enjoyed the demo at least i got some really good feedback hey luke absolutely loved

that video man i'm sorry

but i can't hear anything you're saying right now oh sorry about

that i'm just cleaning my apartment it's really messy in

always something with this guy okay i'm back now i switched

to these new headphones from anchor sound for it's called the space 2 pro lineup whoa

that sounds really good i can't even hear the vacuum cleaning yeah dude it's pretty wild there parts

but it's just ai chip so the voice isolation on this is next level

so yeah these are the new anchor soundcore space 2 pro headphones

and for under 200 bucks they have really great value they use adaptive anc 3 .0

which comes in clutch because when the ANC is turned on, I genuinely barely hear anything outside of the headphones.

But something that really takes these headphones to the next level is the call quality.

In a nutshell, they put their new DAS AI chip into these alongside with six microphones.

100

And yes, I know, I know, you probably hate AI at this point.

101

But this allows for the headphones to isolate your voice from the background noise incredibly well.

102

So when you're taking calls or meetings in a busy area, then the other people in the call will still hear you

103

clearly instead of all the random background noises the headphones also

104

hold a guinness world record for the world's clearest call headphones

105

which they earned in independent lab testing against 18 flagship competitors

106

but still that's kind of crazy for a pair of headphones

107

that cost under 200 bucks

108

and lastly you get up to 30 hours of battery with anc on

109

and they're super light and comfortable

110

so you can wear these the entire working day with ease but yeah

111

if you'll be looking to upgrade your headphones then the space

112

2 pro lineup from anchor soundcore is genuinely really good value for money

113

and if you prefer open ear they just came out with the aeroclip 2 lineup

114

that gives you the world's clearest open ear earbuds for calls

115

also you can match the color of the earbuds to your

116

new iphone i'll link them in the first link in the description where you can scoop yourself a pair

117

and a big thank you to anchor soundcore for supporting the channel and sponsoring the video

118

Then I had to catch up on some work to end the evening

119

because I was running after the iPhone in the morning.

120

You know I feel like something really happened at the start

121

of this year where AI became really good at programming

122

and unfortunately some areas that used to be fun have become obsolete like fixing a bug or something.

123

So it almost feels like a piece of my job has disappeared

124

and I don't know man it's just been a wild year.

125

Now that area of the job that disappeared got replaced with some other stuff

126

and yeah the problem nowadays is that AI written code is almost always correct.

127

The main problem is trying to figure out all the times

128

when it's not and that's also very time consuming

129

but it's one of those things where everyone is now running away from software engineering

130

and unfortunately i'm somebody who likes to take the contrarian trade i've made some good money with

131

that mindset in the past obviously now the risk is a bit bigger

132

because we're talking about careers here

133

but i don't know i could see a world where everyone is now running away from software engineering

134

and coding but then we end up needing more software engineers for building with ai

135

and then there's a shortage also we could be fully replaced i don't know what's gonna happen

136

and i'm honestly done trying to predict this ai thing

137

but personally like i said i like taking the contrarian trade and And I'm now switching career paths to become a nurse, like Antropic suggested.

138

Thank you.

139

oh okay just finished recording the updated what's on my iphone

140

video my throat is hurting a little bit i hope i'm not getting sick

141

but you know this morning i woke up with the

142

you know how it feels right before you get sick anyways

143

for some reason the iphone video has been like the most requested video topic on the channel

144

if you discount today in the live vlogs of course

145

but yeah that's why i had to make it happen now with the iphone 18 pro launch

146

so if you're interested in

147

that definitely go check it out after this one it should

148

be live on the channel by the time this video comes out yeah this is how i balance my work

149

and this youtube stuff like i just record videos on during the weekends

150

so instead of me going out on a friday evening

151

and then being hung over on saturday instead i just do my thing

152

and record a video and uh yeah i might edit it tomorrow then

153

but yeah it's 2 p .m i haven't ate anything so obviously i'm hungry and And usually, during the weekends, after I'm done recording a video,

154

I kind of give myself the pass to eat whatever I want.

155

And I'm not gonna lie, I'm craving a burger.

156

A nice, crispish mash burger.

157

That's what I'm craving.

158

I think we'll go to this local restaurant and see what they got going on.

159

By the way, the battery life on the new phone seems insane.

160

It's 2pm, I woke up at 8pm

161

and I've been using my phone pretty much the entire time

162

because I was going through all the apps and stuff

163

so as you can see five hours of screen time already today

164

which is kind of crazy let's ignore that part

165

but after five hours of screen on time pretty much at

166

max brightness at all times we're at 67 battery life no

167

six seven jokes we gotta leave six seven to summer of 2026 we're not bringing it to the winter

168

and we're for sure not bringing it to 2027

169

but there were one more thing that i noticed immediately

170

when i switched to the 18 pro max is the weight difference compared to the 17 pro max

171

so the 17 pro max weighs 233 grams

172

and the 18 pro max is 249 grams

173

so you probably wouldn't think there's a noticeable difference but

174

when i'm holding this side by side i can clearly clearly see the difference

175

and apparently the duo is gonna weigh like 300 grams so that's gonna be a beefy boy

176

okay then finally let's talk about this camera now this year the 18 pro lineup got the variable aperture lens

177

which samsung did in the 1800s by the way they were way ahead everybody else anyways now

178

that the samsung fanboys are happy basically what this lets you do is control the amount of light

179

that is led into the main sensor

180

and it also gives you a little bit of control over the amount of background blur

181

that your images have

182

and something cool you can do is put the f stop at 4 then

183

when you take a photo of a light source it makes the light bounce a bit.

184

So at night especially you can get creative with this.

185

Also technically the nighttime photography is a bit better this year

186

because the lowest aperture stop is now 1 .48 which previously used to be I think 1 .78 or 1 .8.

187

Regardless it doesn't make a huge difference in the low light photos though the 17 Pro Max was already incredible.

188

Lastly the camera app itself got a big makeover

189

and this is what i meant when i said

190

that this could have been a software update

191

because most of this stuff doesn't need the improved camera

192

and there have been third -party apps out there already

193

that gave you most of these controls

194

but regardless now you can control the shutters speed

195

and all these other things right in the native app

196

which is nice to see and something

197

that actually surprised me a bit are the styles like these look really clean

198

and you can control the amount of film grain you want etc

199

so when you match

200

that with a low shutter speed you can cook some pretty

201

serious photos straight from the native camera app oh yeah one more thing there's now this focus tracking feature

202

so when you're taking a video for example

203

or something you can just double click on a moving object

204

and the focus will be kept on that moving object but yeah

205

that was pretty much all of the new camera features like

206

i don't know what else to say other than it's really good i have no complaints

207

but also i don't think these are must -have updates if that makes any sense

208

We'll see you next time.

209

I'll see you next time.

210

Thank you.

211

Thank you.

212

Let's go.

213

okay good morning it's almost 10 a .m it's a sunday i woke up kind of sick today

214

which is pretty annoying all in all it feels like this

215

entire year has been quite brutal on me of course had

216

the whole moving process had the root canal my driving school

217

which by the way i had a driving test

218

and i failed it basically there was an empty parking lot there was nobody there

219

and i just wasn't paying attention so i drove the wrong way

220

if that makes any sense but this is what it is i'm gonna redo it soon

221

but yeah i know these aren't like everyday things

222

but i just hate it

223

when there are these loose ends going on like i just

224

want to get these things over with also yesterday night i woke up

225

because my lamp fell down from the ceiling for some reason the hook on the ceiling

226

that was kind of centering the lamp just broke now i gotta fix

227

that as well i need to edit uh also sundays are kind of my home reset days

228

so i need to be cleaning up doing my laundry and stuff so we definitely got a lot to do

229

Thank you.

230

We'll see you next time.

231

okay play some music on the home group all right playing some music on the home group

232

Thank you.

233

Let's get started.

234

Thank you.

235

all right things are looking clean again i ended up using

236

the same hooks to hook up the lamp as i did previously i don't know

237

if this classifies as the definition for insanity doing the same

238

thing expecting a different result it did last for a long time last time

239

and i think that's a better way of doing it rather

240

than drilling into the ceiling i don't know we'll see

241

but also i keep seeing people on the internet saying

242

that these are pretty much the same phones

243

and i've been thinking about some of the differences first thing you'll obviously notice

244

when you hold these in hand is that the 18 Pro Max is heavier than the 17 Pro Max.

245

Also if you look closely you can see

246

that the camera bump on the 18 Pro Max is thicker due to the variable aperture lens now.

247

So just keep that in mind.

248

Something that's actually quite cool

249

and is kind of swept under the rug due to the

250

new lens on the 18 Pro Max is the smaller dynamic island.

251

Like when I hold this side by side the difference is enormous

252

and the way Apple has achieved this is

253

that they moved a portion of the face id camera to this top left corner of the phone

254

and then they reduce the amount of pixels in this area so

255

that the camera can still see through the display like that's some proper engineering not none of this software engineering

256

that we're doing but like actual engineering excellence

257

so yeah even though the outcome was just a smaller dynamic island you know it's not the biggest thing

258

but these phones are getting to the point where the smallest details matter

259

And Apple found a way to make the 18 Pro Max a bit better than the 17 Pro Max.

260

But yeah, I don't think that alone is enough of a reason to upgrade.

261

Like, if you're on the 17 Pro Max and you're even watching this video, thinking about upgrading, then that just tells me you're doing really well financially.

262

Because nobody should be upgrading from the 17 Pro Max to the 18 Pro Max.

263

Like, that just doesn't make any sense.

264

But yeah, also on the new Dynamic Island, you can now fit three live activities simultaneously

265

so you can be playing music have a timer on at the same time

266

and something else on top of

267

that not super useful i rarely have even two there

268

so i i don't know of a scenario where i would have three ongoing at the same time

269

but yeah also i've noticed

270

that i've already scratched my phone i've had the phone for less than 48 hours at this point

271

and uh it's already getting scratched up so

272

yeah last year the 17 pro max definitely took a beating like this corner is fully beat up

273

and some of these edges are kind of popping off the display

274

so for example here there's this kind of a sharp point

275

but like i said the color is too beautiful to rock a case

276

so it is what it is for the rest of today

277

i'm just gonna be watching netflix playing some video games maybe hopping on call of duty

278

and yeah just trying to recover from this flu

279

or whatever symptoms i have it's been a long day

280

and it's kind of hard for me to talk right now

281

because my nose is completely blocked

282

but i'm glad we managed to clean up the apartment i always like cleaning the crib on sunday

283

so that i can start the new week with a clean apartment so

284

Thank you.

285

this might be the worst week in the life video on

286

youtube for the past two days i didn't record anything

287

because i was

288

so sick you have to understand i never ever take sick

289

days i had to take one uh the day before yesterday

290

and even yesterday i was feeling terrible

291

so i was just kind of i wasn't fully fully at work

292

but this morning thankfully thankfully i woke up

293

and i didn't have a sore throat anymore i also didn't have a headache anymore

294

so i decided that it's time to get back to the gym

295

because i was done just staying at home all the time

296

i'm not gonna go too hard today i'm just gonna do

297

like an upper body workout i guess with maybe third of the weights i would usually do

298

so a super super light workout let's call it a deload workout

299

but yeah i just needed to get some movement in We'll be right back.

300

Thank you.

301

Thank you.

302

Thank you.

303

Thank you.

304

Thank you.

305

Thank you.

306

Thank you.

307

okay it's 3 50 p .m right now just finishing up work here

308

that faux soup is literally my favorite meal whenever i'm trying to cut

309

or get really shredded it just fills me up so much

310

and it tastes great and i think it's pretty healthy too

311

but something i'd want your opinion on is this is a bit of a crazy idea

312

but i just recently had it now hear me out what

313

if i moved the kitchen from this wall onto this wall in the living room

314

and then what if i added another wall here then this area would legally become a room

315

and i could use it as my office also the apartment

316

would go from a one -bedroom to two -bedroom at that point.

317

I think it would even increase the value of the property.

318

I was talking with some of the people who run the building and stuff.

319

Yeah, you don't need any specific permit for it, but obviously it would still cost probably like 20 to 30 ,000.

320

Just need to keep in mind that I would probably have to get rid of this sofa.

321

What would happen is that I could move the sofa backwards like a couple of feet, one meter, something like this,

322

and obviously then the main living room area would kind of open up

323

so there would be much more space for walking in the middle here obviously the kitchen would be there

324

but then the sofa would be pushed further back towards there

325

and yeah the issue would be with kind of this area

326

whenever you're walking into the living room because the kitchen will be here

327

and then if the sofa has these tall edges then it would make this area feel kind of snug

328

so thinking of doing the renovation then getting a sofa that's

329

a bit lower on this side maybe like a l -shaped sofa

330

so you can lay down on

331

that side of the living room i've also done the measurements

332

the kitchen itself is not as wide as this wall is

333

the kitchen would end somewhere here i think i'm just gonna

334

end up working for the rest of the day i really need to catch up on work

335

because of the sick day

336

which is kind of annoying it is what it is these things happen i might hit the sauna later this afternoon, we'll see.

337

But this is like the most basic, regular week in my life.

338

We're done with work.

339

I had to put this on because so much has been happening.

340

i've just received some pretty big news i wish i could

341

talk about it more here i don't know how to explain it without leaking too much information

342

because if you don't know like i just can't talk about my work

343

that much on youtube i don't know how these amazon software

344

engineers do it where they bring the camera to the office

345

and everything but i can't do that

346

if i could i would you know like

347

that would benefit my channel of course like i know you would love to see it

348

but i'm nothing's done yet so knock on wood everything goes right

349

but yeah that's why i wanted to book the sauna

350

because i just need to think about life for a moment it just it feels weird

351

because i've told this story before but

352

when i first started applying for my first internship i applied to every single internship in my country finland

353

and i only heard back from two companies so i got two interviews

354

and i actually got a job offer from both of those places now i had first accepted another company's offer

355

but then last minute i told them hey i'm not coming i'm going to this other company

356

and from there this freaking snowball has just started it's it's

357

so weird and i keep coming back to this moment

358

when i told the company that i first accepted the offer from

359

that i'm coming there that ended up being kind of a defining moment in my life oh

360

and by the way we're recording on the iphone 18 pro max using the selfie mode

361

that came out i think with the iphone 16 pro lineup where you can hold the phone vertically

362

and still record horizontally or was it with the 17 pro either way this isn't a new feature

363

Let's go.

364

Thank you.

365

so yeah i truly hope that my videos show you

366

that it's possible obviously there's been a ton of luck involved

367

even with just the companies i've picked to work for

368

and i've been in such a fortunate position that i've even had

369

that choice but what i always say is that

370

if you just keep trying then eventually the universe will reward you

371

and just before you start getting some momentum that's

372

when it feels the worst and that's exactly when you want to quit

373

but if you keep showing up every day then it's just a matter of time

374

but yeah to end of the video i wanted to show you how to take these cool light streak photos

375

and the way you do this is by dropping the shutter speed

376

and when you take the photo you kind of have to flick your phone the timing is kind of hard

377

so you might have to try this a few times

378

but once you get it right i think it looks really sick

379

when all of the other stuff is in focus except the light i don't know i think it's pretty cool

380

that we can do this now with just the iphone

381

but yeah these have been my thoughts on the iphone 18 pro max like i said

382

if you're on the 16

383

or 17 pro then do not upgrade like there's no reason to

384

but if you're at that point where your current phone is starting to give up

385

or maybe you want more from the cameras a better battery

386

life etc then you can't really go wrong with the 18 pro

387

and yeah to this day i'm baffled by the battery life

388

like the battery life it's next level anyways that's enough of the glazing

389

if you watch this far then make sure you're subscribed thank you

390

so much for watching all the way to the end and i'll see you in the next one

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.
