- Hey guys, it's Justine and phone season
is officially here and a huge thank you to LifeProof
for sponsoring a portion of this video.
And I'm really excited to show you guys these WĀKE cases
that they've made because they are made
from 85% ocean-based recycled plastic
like old fishing nets, ropes and tackle.
And if you guys are familiar with LifeProof,
you know that their cases are always very drop resistant
so you can drop these up to two meters
and your phone will be safe.
So not only are you saving your phone
but you're also saving the planet.
It's crazy to think that over 12 million metric tons
of plastic it ends up in our oceans every single year.
So it's really great to know that some of that
is now being turned into iPhone cases.
So when you buy any LifeProof case,
they partnered with water conscious non-profits
who are working to help heal the ocean.
You get to pick the cause and they will donate a dollar.
They have tons of different cases for all sorts of phones
so feel free to head over to their website.
I'll put a link in the description
if you wanna check it out.
And here I have some of their new ones.
Really like purple too.
Check that out.
This little teal color black so nice.
Thanks again to LifeProof for sponsoring
a portion of this video and for all that you guys
are doing to help push this environmental cause forward.
It's really amazing and I'm so happy
to be a small part of it.
So for the rest of this video,
I just kinda wanted to talk to you guys
about how I've been liking these phones so far.
Now I have had the iPhone 12 Pro
and the 12 for about three weeks
so maybe like over a month actually.
And I did just recently get the Pro Max and the Mini.
And there's so many similarities across all four
of these devices this year that I really
do feel like any phone that you guys end up getting,
you're going to be so, so happy about.
The one main question that a lot of people
have been asking me is if they should upgrade
if they have an 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max.
And I honestly don't think that you should
if you do have the extra money,
then yes, go for it
but the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are such incredible phones.
We went out to Joshua Tree and we were shooting some photos
and Tyler was shooting a lot on his 11 Pro Max
and I was shooting obviously a lot on my 12
and he posted some photos
and a lot of people were asking him
if those were shot on the 12.
So the cameras are very similar in the 11 and the 12s
but where you're getting the differences
is in the 12 Pro Max with the upgraded Telephoto to 2.5x
and with the larger sensor in the wide angle lens.
And because these phones are much faster
than the previous gen that is allowing them
to do things like the Dolby Vision HDR
which honestly is not a hundred percent necessary.
I've said this so many times before
but when Apple does something
and integrates something like HDR,
it kind of gives us all that little gentle nudge that says,
all right now's the time we need to figure out
a good workflow how to use HDR
because this is it's here,
it's here and we need to figure it out.
So I haven't worked much with exporting HDR content
but I have worked with HDR footage turning
it into SDR for things like YouTube.
So I have come up with a few workflows
that have been working for me
and even what I'm doing technically is not correct.
Like, I know what I'm doing,
this is not how I should be delivering this footage.
If I was in school, I would probably be in trouble
because I would not be doing it the proper way
but it's working and it's looking really good
when I end up exporting that content to YouTube.
So that's one of the reasons
why I haven't actually made a video,
talking about my HDR workflow
because it technically isn't correct.
So I don't wanna be putting this knowledge out there
of the way that I'm doing something
it's not really the way that
you should be doing it but it's working.
So I'm kind of having this internal battle with myself.
Final Cut doesn't actually support
the Dolby Vision HDR right now.
So I think in the next iteration and with Big Sur,
it will so right now you are able to edit
and work with HDR content
but you're not able to export the Dolby vision metadata
to actually have it be Dolby Vision HDR.
I know, it's just, it's a lot
it's a lot that most normal people
don't even need to worry about.
Like you just want to shoot
and take good content on your phone
and that's what these do.
That's what they're doing.
You guys are doing a very good job of it
I must say.
I do wanna show you what I have done
with my home screens in comparison
the old way that I was setting up my phone.
I've just got apps on apps, on apps.
And I used to put them all
in like these separate little folders
which was fine because I don't ever actually go
into these folders to click to do anything.
I always swipe down and I search
for whatever it is that I want.
So now what I'm doing on my new devices
is I'm not putting any thing
on any page except my home screen.
So you'll see I do have a little space here for another app.
Okay so I might've lied to you
because I haven't got a chance to update this
but my plan is to only have apps on the first page.
Anything that I would be using on a daily basis
and the rest of these things like
okay, Peloton I do use quite often.
So I'm basically gonna take Peloton
so not delete app, but remove from home screen.
then now yeah, we're going to remove you.
(phone chimes)
Oh my God!
Now I'm getting notifications on every single phone.
What is happening?
So now I'm just be able to swipe over
and I have my entire app library.
Everything is here.
It's also neat.
It's so organized.
Oh my gosh!
So when you have three phones
that are getting notifications
I'm gonna go, I'm getting silly.
After tax season, I'm gonna take some time off
and I'm going to go be alone with myself
and I'm going to hide my phone from myself.
So I've also decided to just put one single,
simple little widget here.
I like this widget because it shows me my news,
it shows me what's coming up on my calendar
and it also will show me a random photo
but for whatever reason,
my phone kept showing me this photo.
I have hundreds and thousands of photos
that you can choose from and this is the one
that you decided that I should see.
I just, I don't get it.
Oh, this one's cute.
This is a little one of Maddie and me.
The photos though on the Pro Max are very impressive.
I think my favorite thing is the Telephoto.
The 2.5x Zoom is really, really cool.
I didn't think that it was gonna make a big difference
until I saw something like this.
Let me show you.
So I show these photos in my photo test.
So here's our ultra wide and here's the wide,
pretty much the same.
But then here's the 2x versus the 2.5x.
So you could definitely tell
that there's so much more zoom in that.
And I really just can't believe how great it is.
Like, look at this ready,
zoom, zoom, Maddie zoom.
I think he had a good time in Joshua Tree,
I'm not sure.
(upbeat music)
I'm also incredibly impressed with the low-light performance
and what's cool is the low light
on all of these cameras also impressive.
They have night mode on the front
on all three cameras on the 12 Pro
and then also on the 12,
the two rear facing cameras
and even the front facing also has night mode.
It just made me really happy to see
that they didn't skimp on some of the lower end models.
I do wish that they had the same cameras
on the two Pro models but I feel like you do need
to have another reason to upgrade to the Pro Max
and something that you're gonna really notice
if you do get this phone and you've compared it to the 11
is the size of the lenses.
So I don't know if you can really tell
but the 12 Pro Max, like the lenses are way thicker.
I mean, we're talking very, very small increments
but when you are putting them up next to each other
like the 11 it's very flat
and the 12 pro it's like,
Whoa!There's a difference.
So obviously you are getting that new censorship technology
which will help with the stabilization
of the video and even the photos.
And now this has the LiDAR.
It really does assist with focus
and being able to get better low-light performance
when you're trying to focus
on different subjects because the LIDAR
is basically not relying on the light so much.
So it's using that LiDAR sensor to determine the depth.
So I'm very pleased with the upgrades
that they made this year
and that's not even to mention 5G
but when I tested out the 5G UW,
in some other videos that you guys may have seen,
the speeds that I was getting
I'm getting like two and a half gigs down,
like that is just unheard of
and when that becomes the future
and when that becomes the norm,
the possibilities are endless,
editing in the cloud.
What this is gonna do for autonomous driving
because every car will be able to have
this incredibly fast connection
we'll be constantly getting this information faster,
quicker and more efficiently.
It's really going to change everything.
I don't think people really understand
the importance of 5G and the future of it
because right now it just sort of is a buzzword.
It's like, Oh, this has 5G.
(indistinct)
No, it's gonna be cool
and when it is everywhere and in our homes,
I am going to be so excited because my internet is trash.
Well, thank you guys for watching.
I just wanted to address some of the questions
that I've been getting and also talk a little bit
about what I've been doing on my phones.
And obviously you guys have been following me here
on YouTube or Twitter or Instagram
you know exactly what I've been doing
probably better than anybody else.
I will see you guys in my next video.
And if you have any other questions,
feel free to leave them in the comments below
and I will either try to answer them here
on YouTube or any future video.
So until then, I'll see you guys later.
Bye.
