- [Man On Video] How 'bout that wireless charging, though?
- Wireless charging would be amazing!
Yo guys, Jonathan here.
Without a doubt, the Galaxy S8 is one of,
if not the best smartphones out right now.
It's putting a ton of pressure on Apple
for the next iPhone release and that poses the question:
Is the iPhone 8 worth waiting for?
(upbeat music)
- What model should Apple launch next?
Should it be the iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Plus, and the iPhone 8
or the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus?
- So, while we don't know officially know
what Apple's gonna be calling their next iPhone,
I think they pretty much need
to go with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus,
and that really comes down to the Galaxy S8.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were unique in the sense
that they pretty much shared the exact same design
as the iPhone 6 and 6S and, for me, what it comes down to,
I think if Apple were to release the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus,
there would automatically be this mental connection
that the 7 would be inferior to the 8 of the Galaxy S8,
and I don't think Apple would wanna go that route.
- Hey, Jon.
Woke up just now and saw your Instagram story.
Wanted to ask which has got
a better fingerprint sensor positioning.
Is it the iPhone 8 leaks or the Samsung Galaxy S8?
- So that is a very interesting question, my friend.
I'm gonna preface this by saying
I really, really, really, really, really like the Galaxy S8,
it is an amazing phone with amazing features,
but the fingerprint reader location is not one of them.
Now, with Apple, what makes this interesting is,
for the first time in a really long time,
we are actually playing the guessing game.
I guess because this will be
the 10th anniversary of the iPhone,
allegedly Apple is testing like 10 different models,
which is crazy.
That leaves us in the dark, which I like,
but the end result is two possibilities
as far as Touch ID goes.
The first location, which would be ideal
if Apple could pull this off,
would be underneath the display.
It's very similar to what Samsung did
with their Infinity Display and their virtual Home button,
it would just take it one step further
with the fingerprint reader on the front of the phone,
not forcing Apple to move it towards the back.
That, though, does not seem to be an easy task at all.
Samsung could not pull it off with the Galaxy S8
and reportedly Apple is having a ton of problems
implementing this on their own with the iPhone 8,
and, if that's the case, it's gonna force them
to place it on their second option
on the back of the phone right below the Apple logo.
Now, either way, based off those rumors,
I think the iPhone 8 is going to have the better location
as far as the fingerprint reader goes,
and that honestly comes down
to almost a case of winning by default.
Because the placement on the Galaxy S8 is so bad,
unless Apple completely matched that and copied that,
they will inherently have a better location.
But, with that said, if Apple does go the back route,
I'm gonna say the LG G6 has a better spot
than both these phones.
- Hey, Jonathan.
My name's Nathan from Jakarta, Indonesia
and here's my question for you:
What is your favorite feature on the GS8, Galaxy S8,
that others doesn't have.
- That is pretty much a no-brainer.
Hands down my favorite feature would be...
(laughing) Bixby.
On a serious note, though, what I think is really cool
and sometimes a little overlooked
with the Galaxy S8 is Bluetooth 5.0.
And if you're not aware, what that allows for
is for the Galaxy S8 to send two separate Bluetooth streams
to two separate devices where you can
then control them separately and independently.
- Hey, Jonathan, hope you're doing well.
What would you like to see in the next iPhone?
- Shout out to your baby, I think he might be hungry.
But as far as what I would like to see on the iPhone,
I think I'm gonna reiterate how cool it would be if Apple
could successfully implement Touch ID underneath the screen.
I would've loved to see Samsung do that with the Galaxy S8,
so if Apple could do that with iPhone 8 it would be amazing.
Now, beyond that, something that maybe
isn't iPhone 8 feature specific but rather a chess move
that Apple could do for Samsung
including higher-end headphones with the Galaxy S8,
would be to include AirPods with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
Is that gonna happen? More than likely not
because Apple's gotta make those margins,
but I think that would be a huge selling point
and a really attractive feature of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
(thumping upbeat music)
Hey man, this guy wants to know if I like sunsets.
- You see that?
- Yeah. (hand slapping)
(laughing)
(yelling) (hand slapping)
Say who's your daddy.
- Okay, he's my daddy!
- Hi, so I'm just wondering,
what do you think Google's doing right now
to compete with the latest phones on the market,
like the iPhone 7 and, of course, the Galaxy S8.
So, I just wanna know that.
- So, switching gears for a second
from the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8,
as far as what Google is doing
to compete with Apple and Samsung,
honestly, I think the release of the Pixel and Pixel XL
was their move into the game.
Sure, it was missing premium features
like wireless charging, water resistance,
but they made huge impact with their camera.
As many of you know, the Galaxy S8 has a phenomenal camera,
but I'm willing to bet there are
plenty of Pixel owners out there
that would put their camera up against
the Galaxy S8 any day of the week,
and there is a reason why.
So that combined with the fact
it is a pure Google phone with a pure Google experience
has kept people satisfied and so much in fact
that they haven't felt the need
to jump over to the Galaxy S8.
- How do you feel about the wireless charging
on the upcoming iPhone.
- So, for real, talking about wireless charging,
and I've talked about this before,
if Apple does implement wireless charging,
which I think they very well might with the next iPhone,
they're going to have to do it right.
What I mean by that is taking wireless charging up a notch,
because, if we're being honest,
you know as well I do wireless charging right now
is not that cool.
You still need a dock or a pad,
which is then connected to a wire,
and then you need to perfectly place your phone
on that dock or pad or, if you don't,
you might not charge your phone.
What would be amazing is if Apple
could implement a charging radius where,
let's say, you place your phone maybe
in a five foot vicinity anywhere on there,
but it is still getting the charge.
That way maybe say you're going to bed
and your whole nightstand becomes that charging zone,
instead of fiddling and messing around
with placing it perfectly,
you just toss it on there anywhere
and you're getting the charge through the night.
- Yo, what's up Jonathan, it is SenshiPro on YouTube
and I was just wondering how much of video gainz
do you think the iPhone 8 will be getting,
especially with the leaked rumor of the vertical lenses.
So, thanks.
- Now as far as those video gainz,
which you can get at s2apparel.com.
Right now, if you haven't seen,
there's a rumor of Apple switching the orientation
of those dual cameras from horizontal to portrait.
Now, the reason behind that switch
actually has more to do with what Apple
could potentially do with augmented reality
as opposed to an improvement in video and picture quality.
What I would like to see, however, as far as improvements go
is a better secondary lens.
Right now portrait mode on the 7 Plus is awesome,
having the ability to switch
between two focal lengths is cool,
but when you do that you definitely notice
a quality difference between the two lenses.
What it comes down to is the secondary lens
on the iPhone 7 Plus simply isn't as good
as the primary in terms of low light,
that has an f-stop of 1.8,
whereas the secondary has an f-stop of 2.8,
so that is a huge difference as far as light goes.
With that being said, though,
if Apple can match those two on the next iPhone
so there isn't a huge difference switching back and forth,
that would be awesome.
Aside from that, thank you guys very much for watching.

This is Jonathan, and I will catch you guys later.
(camera beeping) I hate the Bixby button, man!
I just wanna change the volume and hit Bixby.
