what's on my phone i'm always like three phones behind how

do i clean my charging port you have negative six seven percent

so far i think i might hate it whoa why do i got so many apps

hey guys it's kennedy and welcome back to my channel i'm super excited for today's video

because i'm gonna be showing you guys what's on my phone

fall edition though i've been seeing these videos on youtube

and i always want to know what's on other people's phones

and how they'd be using it and how it's functional and all the aesthetic decorations and all that kind of stuff.

So I'm going to be showing you guys what my phone looks like as a content creator, but with a fall twist.

I can smell the pumpkin spice lattes.

I'm aware that it's literally October as I'm filming this, but Christmas is coming, you guys.

But anyway, let's get into this video.

Starting out with the outside of my phone, I have this super, super cute leopard print phone case on it.

I have an iPhone 14.

Before you say it, I know guys, 14.

I'm always like three phones behind.

They're on the iphone 17 currently and let me know in the comments guys

if you have a later version let me know

if i should invest my money into buying it like is it really

that much better

because i've had this iphone 14 since i think my 13th birthday it's basically just a white phone

and then i put this super cute leopard print phone case from amazon over it

but i don't know i've been thinking about maybe investing in a new phone

but i need to know if it's worth it or not

because they're getting more expensive every time

and then the only thing that'll be different about is like You got two more color options for the exterior.

I low -key want a pink phone, though.

They came out with, like, a baby pink color.

I would love that.

But it's too expensive.

And knowing me, I'm a little bit clumsy.

I've dropped my phone a lot.

Surprisingly, it's not crap.

I'm very proud of myself because a lot of my friends, they whip out their phone, and the whole screen looks like it's been in World War II.

And I'm like, oh!

Also, with my charging port, I feel like I need to clean up my charging port, too, because whenever I put certain chargers in, it does not charge.

So it might be time to clean up the charging port, but I don't know how to.

So let me know in the comments if you are a tech person watching this.

How do I clean my charging port?

I need my phone to charge at night especially because I'll wake up the next morning and it'll be like, you have negative 6 -7%.

So let me know down in the comments about that.

Also, you guys, I may have an older phone, but I just upgraded to the new iOS 26.

So far, I haven't had it long enough to give you guys my full first impression.

But so far, I think I might hate it.

I don't know.

Before I upgraded to iOS 26, I was like on iOS 11 or something.

I think I had iOS 17

so going up 10 ios's takes up seven gigabytes of space

it's giving android a little bit i know there are functions to like settings

and stuff to turn that kind of stuff off

but i don't know if i hate it

when i get a 10 battery notice why is it a

glass bubble anyway let's get into the actual phone starting out

you guys with my lock screen i'm actually super proud of

it it's super super cute you guys i really like it

and i like stretch the numbers but

while we're looking at this i'm also going to give you

guys a little tutorial of how i did this before actually

i get into the software update how to show you how

to do it does my home screen look like deer butt my whole family

and friends have been telling me kennedy why did you make

that your lock screen i was like it's cute it's like deer print they're like okay

that looks like

if the photographer put the camera in between the deer's butt

cheeks i can't tell does it you know what it adds

personality to the phone to try to edit the lock screen is you're gonna hold down on your lock screen

and it should go out to this little zoomed out position and you can see all your past Lock screens here.

So I have a couple they're actually pretty cute

But i'm currently on this one and then you're gonna click customize at the bottom

and there are

so many things you can do You can add icons here

at the bottom You can add widgets like the weather

and you can add like your most used apps like I can add tiktok here I actually probably do need

that also in this little corner

if you want to make your numbers long You can make

them like this long it can be mega stretched out also

if you want to you can use like a spatial scene you can turn on spatial scene so then

when you move your phone around oh my gosh it looks like the deer is twerking this is

so cute now moving on to my main home screen

because this is what i use the most on my phone

so when we swipe up here super cute you guys i love it look how fast

that was to swipe ready my old phone like my old ios used to be

so glitchy but anyway i have all of these widgets here

and i put my most used apps in like a little bottom kind of area

because honestly let me just be honest i don't use any of this this is all for aestheticness

if i want to use the app i usually just swipe over into this

but i'm going to show you guys how i made my icons all beige

and cute like

that my phone is reminding me i have 20 battery why

is it a bubble though like can you guys tell me why it's a glass bubble like why was

that necessary what i did to make them all beige is i held down

and i clicked edit at the top and i clicked customize

and you can choose tinted or you can choose clear

or dark or default and you just pick the color you want

and you use the slider

and it ends up with these really really cute kind of icons and even when you swipe down from here.

To check out all of your main toggles like Wi -Fi and Bluetooth and stuff.

They're even clear or like beige or whatever color you have.

But going through these little widgets I have because I think they're really, really cute.

100

My background is this like sweater cardigan material.

101

I think it's really cute for fall and it gives like sweater weather.

102

And then for the widgets, what I did to make them is what you do is you have the Widgetsmith app.

103

I know this isn't the most modernized way to do it.

104

But you have options to make your own little widget it

105

so if i was to make another widget i would choose like however big i want it to be

106

if i want it to be small or

107

if i want it to be big

108

and then you can choose whether you want to choose from

109

your photo collection you can even make a photo locket

110

so you can make like a heart one

111

which is really really really cute so now it looks like this

112

so i got like these really really cute autumn one

113

that says comes autumn at the top it's really really pretty

114

and it has all the trees and then we have some deer print

115

because it's literally my new obsession i just got a jacket

116

that has deer print on it

117

and i'm in love with it then in the bottom i have these two teddy bears cuddling

118

because that's absolutely adorable and then when i swipe i have this big widget

119

and then a deer i think you guys can tell

120

that they're my favorite animal i love deers bunnies and swans

121

and then we have some uggs down here in the corner

122

and it gives

123

that whole kind of aesthetic vibe also i love how they added where you can search now at the bottom

124

so you can search for your apps at the bottom

125

and i love how my most used apps are just down here

126

so i can go check out youtube where i can access tiktok

127

and i love even that with the colors of the app icons they still made it beige

128

but yeah this is what the actual home screen looks like

129

holly came to say hi what kind of toy do you

130

have for her second birthday we got her like a bunch

131

of toys we spent a hundred dollars for the toys at tj minutes we have a full bin of them

132

so she just has a bunch of toys hi baby you happy

133

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
