in honor of the new iphone launching i
decided to write a little poem
roses are red violets are blue the
iphone is new
and comes in blue
but i only have black
thank you
i've been working on that one all
pandemic
in front of us today we do have the new
iphone 13 pro max just another attempt
from apple to make fat stacks
we're gonna see if it cracks but not
with an axe smacks or acts of attacks
the first thing i have recognized is
that apples mechanized a thin strip of
paper for the seal which for me has
quite the appeal by removing the
exterior polyethylene to which the
cardboard it previously clinged apple
has eliminated 600 metric tons of
plastic to me that's fantastic
single-use plastics are trash in more
ways than one since the degrade takes
500 trips around the sun i'm sure it's
mostly a move that improves apple's
margins but at least now we'll have less
garbage filling up grandkids gardens
yeah surprise apple did something that i
hearted it might be the last time though
let's get started
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
another thing besides the packaging
including less plastic is that there's
still no charging brick in the box apple
says this is to reduce waste which is
totally valid
but i also think that apple realized
they couldn't make a better charger than
anchor so they just quit
the anchor nano pro is 45 smaller looks
better and charges faster with 20 watts
it gets an iphone to 50 percent charged
in just 25 minutes that's why anker is
the official charging partner of j-rig
everything inside this little brick are
temperature sensors and a powerful
turner chip that can adjust the current
in real time for optimal charging
anker's power iq 3.0 charging does work
with other usb-c smartphones as well so
i'll leave a link down in the
description if you need one for your own
device
if you're thinking to yourself that wow
this iphone 13 looks just like the
iphone 12 and the 11 you're definitely
not wrong apple probably noticed that
people weren't upgrading when there was
only an s next to the number so they've
changed to counting up with a whole
number each year even if the minor
improvements are only letter s worthy
can't blame them though they are our
business after all
and they've tapped into the human psyche
better than any other business on the
planet
[Music]
the 200 billion in cash that apple keeps
in the bank proves it
one thing that is impressive though
which last year's phone also has is the
ceramic shield front glass yeah it still
has scratches at a level six with deeper
grooves at a level seven but the level
six scratches are so faint compared to
other phones it really makes me think
that ceramic shield is a super solid
improvement over normal tempered
smartphone glass it's important to
remember though that glasses glass and
glass can break no matter how many
buzzwords are added to the name
apple would really rather you not
protect your device since they make
money selling new phone
but you can stick it to the man with a
screen protector
it's much easier to replace a scratched
or broken screen protector than it is a
whole iphone display
i'll leave a link for dbrand's tempered
glass screen protector down in the
description
but since this is a durability test we
can't have any cheating
so i'll remove that screen protector i
just put on
one subtle design change that most
people probably wouldn't notice is that
apple has moved the earpiece up a little
bit and stuck it to the frame of the
phone instead of attached to the
underside of the glass this will
definitely make the tear down a little
easier the little metal grille is super
solid and won't be falling out on its
own
the size of the iphone 13 pro max
are made from stainless steel which at a
mos 5 is a much harder material than
aluminum which is about a mos 3. the
sound it makes is a little different as
well the power button is still metal
along with the top of the phone
it's hard for my stainless steel razor
blade to even bite into the stainless
steel size of the phone
i'm a fan
i like the metal mute switch over here
on the side
as well as the metal volume buttons and
metal sim card tray
one thing that apple doesn't tell you
though is how water resistant their
phone really is they say it's ip68 yeah
but not all ip68 rated phones are
created equal my own phone for example a
note 10 plus
achieved an ip68 rating by sitting one
and a half meters deep in water for 30
minutes like most every other smartphone
apple however leveled up by putting
their phone six meters deep for that
same 30 minutes four times the depth
that smartphones regularly get tested at
next level and pretty impressive
of course we still have the lightning
port down here at the bottom but thanks
to new uk regulations we should start
seeing usbc here pretty soon the uk has
now standardized cell phone ports across
the
board i do like the textured back glass
[Music]
and finally the camera another thing
that apple has incrementally updated
this year i still think they should have
just called this the iphone 12s the top
camera is a three times telephoto lens
which is 0.5 times more zoom than last
year yeehaw there is the 12 megapixel
ultra white camera in the middle and a
12 megapixel normal camera at the bottom
it does have a lidar scanner which is
pretty cool one thing that's not cool
however is that apple is still bragging
that they have sapphire crystal covering
on their camera lenses
they've never really talked about this
in real life nor does it benefit them in
any way to keep mentioning it on their
spec page one because it barely
registers as sapphire and two it's not
pure as we've seen in my other video and
even more importantly it has none of the
protective properties that do come with
pure sapphire
i accidentally started this test to
level nine thinking it was six so let's
just jump down to the wide angle the
regular wide angle camera lens clearly
has scratches starting at level six
seven
and eight
while we know from other sapphire screen
phones like the kyocera duraforce ultra
that real sapphire doesn't start
scratching until level 8. apple either
needs to ditch their sapphire claims or
find a real sapphire supplier
another thing that apple doesn't mention
very often or probably should mention a
little bit more is that every apple
store data center and operations
facility are all carbon neutral apple
has been using a small portion of their
200 billion cash reserve about 3 percent
to invest in environmental projects
around the world restoring the
rainforest and building green energy
plants to counteract their entire carbon
footprint this is way cool and i think
every business should do this and i
don't want to sound indignant but
imagine what apple could do with 4
or even 10. i don't know if apple's
saving up to buy the moon or what since
they are currently worth more than
entire countries like canada italy or
russia i'm just not really sure what
they're waiting for the nice thing about
this 6.7 inch 120 hertz ceramic shield
display is that for some reason it's not
burning under the heat from my lighter
which lets me talk for a really long
time even though my phone was undamaged
by flame keep in mind that i buy my own
devices so my mom doesn't care what i do
with them but if your mom just bought
you a new iphone and you take a lighter
to it you might not be around to watch
my next video so leave the professional
burning stuff to me
the oleophobic coating has probably
evaporated
i would test the fingerprint scanner if
there was one but there's not so let's
move on to the bin test since the iphone
6 apple has really improved in the
rigidity department the apps are
quivering a bit in anticipation and if
you listen closely
there are a few subtle creaks and groans
as it gets bent but no catastrophic
damage
when been from the front we have no
additional sounds and the phone remains
super solid on all four sides
another solid device from apple we'll
have to see how much larger that battery
is during the teardown hit that
subscribe button so you don't miss it
this iphone 13 pro max survives my
durability test
how often do you replace your own phone
let me know down in the comments if you
need protection for your device or a
charging brick from anchor i'll leave
those links down in the description come
hang out with me on instagram and
twitter and thanks a ton for watching
i'll see you around
