- Hey guys, how's it going?
It's Justine and today we're doing an Ask IJ episode
which is short for Ijustine, if you're new here.
I asked you guys on Twitter
and on Instagram to ask me some questions,
so that's what we're gonna do, we're gonna answer these.
And I feel like most of the questions that I got
were all about the new iPhone.
What do I think about the new iPhone 8?
What are the latest iPhone 8 rumors?
What do I think of the leaked designs?
And truthfully, at this point I've kind of
stopped looking at the rumors
because it's all just sort of a bunch of just nonsense.
It's all recirculated old rumors that I feel like
that have just been beat to death.
It's gonna be full OLED screen,
there's gonna be a touch sensor on the back,
no just kidding it's now in the front.
I can't quite keep up and until there's something new
and actual crazy, hard evidence, I'm just gonna kinda
take a step back, maybe two steps back
until we get some evidence.
I need more than these fake Photoshop images.
And most of the stuff that I've been seeing,
it's all looking like not good news.
For example, Apple has just weeks to solve
the iPhone 8 touch I'd dilemma.
There's been a bunch of reports
that Apple is having trouble trying to get
the touch ID to work on the full OLED screen,
and that was one of the big issues
that Samsung was also having, which is why they ended up
having their fingerprint sensor on the back.
Who knows, we don't know, these are all rumors.
I need truth.
I don't want anymore lies in my life, cut 'em out.
Speaking of rumors, I say this, but yet,
I'm still reading it.
This is something they thought
was actually super interesting.
IPhone 8 may feature a rear-facing 3D laser
for improved autofocus and AR.
You guys may remember that Apple announced their AR kit,
which I've seen so many various demos of
and it looks super cool.
Augmented reality is one of my favorite things.
Now I like VR, but VR I feel like
takes you out of your element.
I like taking what you already have and improving it.
Yet adding this other crazy layer
that otherwise would not be possible if it wasn't for AR.
So augmented reality, huge fan,
super excited to see what Apple does with that.
So that definitely would make sense with this 3D laser,
to be able to get a sense of your room and your surroundings
and be able to accurately portray whatever it is
that that AR kit will be able to do.
(squeaking) I'm excited.
IPhone 8 will come I four colors, what?
Including a new mirror-like exterior.
And here's the thing.
You know, I was super excited about
having that jet black iPhone, but I have a case on it,
I have to have a case on it.
It's, I drop it and I have a case on it.
It's such a slick surface that it's so hard to hold onto.
But this looks cools, although that's just a case.
But we get the point.
There's also been some rumors about some things
not actually being ready for launch.
So there was a poll that I saw that said,
would you rather the phone launch without these features
activated and then later be activated
or have the phone be delayed?
I'd rather have the phone
and then those features come later.
There's been other reports of people saying
that they're also having trouble with wireless charging.
I don't know, I don't really know what to believe.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
And I look forward to reading those.
But I guess we'll just move onto our next question
because there were just so many questions that you guys had
about the iPhone 8.
And really, the only thing that I can say
is I'm just waiting for the truth.
Logan wants to know how many pets I've had in my life.
I've had a lot of pets in my life.
Maddie is my first dog that is my very own
that I have 100%, well, 50%, pretty much control over,
'cause my sister has him almost just as much as I do.
But it's pretty much our dog.
It's our baby.
Growing up we had dogs, we had cats,
we had hamsters, we had guinea pigs,
but my mom and dad did all the work pretty much.
I mean, I would sometimes feed the dog.
We also had chickens.
I, at times, would have to go feed the chickens,
give them some scraps of food, pick the eggs,
sometimes feed the cats, but overall,
like, my parents did everything and I had no concept
until these past two years of
how hard it is to raise an animal,
and they raised three children, plus animals,
just a lot of stuff.
I still, to this day, don't know how my parents
have done all of the things that they did for us.
It still is by far the most impressive thing ever.
So mom, dad, thank you.
Also my grandparents, I mean they always watched us, too.
So, man, just, I can barely handle myself.
Fer is asking if I'd marry the dancing hot dog.
I definitely would.
This stupid hot dog meme.
(upbeat music)
Is it a meme at this point?
It's a Snapchat filter, but it's this dancing hot dog.
The first time I saw it I was like this is hilarious.
I'm so amused.
I'm still slightly amused a week later.
I don't think you guys are or my sister.
She's very sick of the hot dog,
but I still think it's funny.
I'm still quite amused.
Speaking of my sister,
she is asking me what do you think about me?
I think you're great, you're fantastic,
and you're extremely sassy.
And what were we listening to the other day in the car?
We were actually listening to an audiobook on Audible.
It's pretty much the only thing
that I do listen to in the car.
If I'm not listening to music I'm listening to an audiobook
because I love to read but I don't have time to read.
I'm sure I can make time but it's much easier,
driving in traffic and listening to a book
'cause I'm basically doing two things at the same time,
I'm driving and I'm reading.
And yes, I know, you're jut waiting for it.
Audible.com/ijustine where you guys
can get a 30-day free trial and a free audiobook.
So you guys can choose anything that you'd like,
and here are my two recommendations for the month.
I do have these books in a physical form, too,
because I like to support my friends,
I get the audio version and I get the analog version
so that I can also put these on my bookshelf.
So the first book that we're
gonna talk about is by Lizzie Velasquez.
The best part about Audible is a lot of times
the authors actually read the books.
So in this book Lizzie does read her book to you,
so you feel like you're listening
to your best friend talk to you.
If you guys don't know Lizzie, she's a YouTuber,
an incredible motivational speaker,
she's written several books,
she's got an amazing documentary,
she's toured the whole world telling her story,
and now in her book she tells way more
than she's ever told before.
So being able to like hear her tell the story
and really feel what she's feeling was amazing.
I feel like this book should be recommended reading
for parents and kids before you go to school
because it talks so much about bullying
and how to deal with bullies.
It also touches on a lot more in depth things
that I wasn't even expecting,
and even though that I knew these stories
were going to be in this book,
it was still kind of crazy to hear Lizzie tell the world
for the first time some of the struggles
that she had been going through that nobody had ever known.
So Lizzie, I absolutely adore you and I love you
and I hope that everyone does decide to listen to this book.
This is crazy 'cause Lizzie just texted me right now.
She said, I had to contain myself from watching your
camera videos because I wanna buy everything you talk about.
This is crazy.
I'm legit making a video,
how did she know?
I'm sending her picture, this is crazy.
So check out Lizzie's book, Dare to be Kind.
She also has an incredible documentary.
I feel like I'm pretty much gonna talk about Lizzie
this whole video because she's just such an amazing person.
This book is called Best Seat in the House,
and I'm just gonna preface this by saying
I don't know anything about wrestling.
I don't know anything about WWE.
I mean my extent of knowledge of wrestling
is Hulk Hogan and The Rock and also John Cena
because I once bought a John Cena backpack at Walmart.
So like that's it.
I met Justin fairly recently
when I was in Pittsburgh for a Tool concert
and he was there doing the Tool VIP experience,
and then he was heading off to go do a book signing,
and I was like, oh, that's cool, what's your book about?
So he had briefly given me a quick rundown
of what it was about.
This book is also read by Justin.
And again, like I said, having the authors,
who are telling their own stories, read their books
is by far the coolest thing ever.
So much like Lizzie's book that dealt lot with bullying,
Justin also dealt with so much of that in WWE,
which so many people had no idea about.
And clearly, me, I have absolutely no idea
'cause I've never watched wrestling in my life.
But the book was so awesome because it chronicled
his entire life leading up to his dream job.
And then when he go this dream job,
the dream job that he thought that he really
was in love with ended up turning out
to be slightly a nightmare.
What I loved so much about his book is you can
clearly tell how passionate he was about wrestling.
And being able to take something that is your passion
and turn it into your job, I have so much respect
for anybody that could do that.
And he did it for so long.
Like the crazy travel schedules that these people
have to go through to do WWE tours.
Like I complain about getting stuck in the airport
for like five hours but yet, imagine doing that
for 12 years nonstop.
That's crazy.
I feel like if you're a wrestling fan
you're gonna absolutely love this book.
And even if you're not I know nothing.
Half the time I was like I'm not even sure
who he's talking about.
But it's the personal story and the personal connection
to something that he absolutely loved
and was able to make that dream come true
that I felt super connected to,
and I feel like you guys will also
absolutely love it as well.
These are my two Audible picks for this month.
Justin Roberts, Best Seat in the House,
and Lizzie Velasquez, Dare to be Kind.
You can use my link audible.com/ijustine
so you can get a free book, 30-day free trial,
and I think you guys will absolutely love
Justin and Lizzie telling you their life stories.
That's so, I'm still, I'm still chatting with Lizzie.
Like I can't believe it.
This is so nuts, ah!
The next question is xFreeZg, what do I like
the most about playing Minecraft on PC or Nintendo Switch?
The Nintendo Switch Minecraft is actually super cool.
They've got a really awesome Mario mod,
so you can kind of play in this Mario world,
so I did just start playing the survival of that.
But playing on a PC, it's where I started playing Minecraft.
So you really do get that full sense of crafting
because with the console versions
they kind of have all the recipes made for you already,
so you just kind of like collect the stuff
and then click what you wanna make and then you can make it,
so it's actually a little bit easier.
I'm still contemplating starting a server.
I miss it so much, we'll see.
Maybe this fall when it's all across platforms
so no matter what you're on you can still play on it.
Am I gonna camp out or the next iPhone?
Oh my God I hope not.
Man camping out or that iPhone
was the longest time of my life.
I'd say a day but it was over two days,
like 50, six, seven, 58 hours,
and I hope I never have to do that again.
But would I do it again?
Yeah, of course I would.
You think I'm crazy?
Yes, I am.
Rulon's asking if I got all of
my digital storage figured out,
and no I haven't yet.
I think I may have a solution,
and I'm extremely excited about it.
So stay tuned, there may be a very fun
collab happening with that, so shhh.
Cody wants to now what do I do when I have a creative block.
That's hard because I feel like I have an ongoing list
of things that I wanna do and things I wanna make,
so when I do have a creative block
I kinda go to that list and see what I wanna make.
I'll also sometimes go back and watch my old videos
'cause that will sometimes kinda stem some sort
of creativity where I'm like man,
I remember when I was doing this,
and I wished that I could have done this,
but either the technology wasn't there
or I didn't have the money to do it
or I didn't have access to a certain thing.
So sometimes that helps me to kind of see
where I was 10 years ago,
and remember, why did I start doing this?
What was it that I wanted to do back then
that I could potentially do now that I wasn't able to?
I sometimes fel like there's too many things that I wanna do
and I just don't have the capacity to do it all.
I think that's all the questions I have.
Let's see.
If you guys have any other questions
please feel free to leave them in the comments below
and I will see you guys in my next video, bye.
(upbeat fun music)
