there's quite a few reasons why I'm not excited about the iPhone 15 and we're going to cover
some of those reasons here in this video I'm in a bit of a conflicting situation if you like right
as a tech reviewer I'm really excited about just getting the latest gadgets right whatever it might
be might be the Samsung maybe the Google whatever it is and in this case the iPhone 15 sure I want
you know want to try I want to try you know the latest and greatest I want to see what it's like
I want to see the new features and all that as a consumer though and I've been using iPhones for
well since the first one so over 15 years this year if you haven't seen my videos before this
year was the first time in those 15 16 years that I've let go of my iPhone my main phone is an s23
ultra I'm loving it I've done loads of videos about it and that is the first reason really
because I don't want to really mess my I mean I've been for five months now been using the s23 ultra
and I've got a setup that I think is working for me I'm not so dependent on the Apple ecosystem
anymore so that's the one reason why it's not so much that I'm not excited about the iPhone
15 you know as as a as a tech reviewer I am but as a consumer as my personal day-to-day life I'm
not looking forward to that confusing aspect of bringing the iPhone 15 into my now ecosystem the
s23 ultra has been an absolutely Delight to use I just thought of that film what is that
this is why I need to script my videos you know
the new Delight cut that off but everything I've thrown at this phone is just dealt with
maybe it's because I'm coming from the s22 ultra right and the S21 Ultra before that which is okay
which brings me to the second reason really the fold five I'm really excited about the fold five
because I've had the fold four I've been using I'm still using it it's a weird one for me because for
a long time you know I've I think the first couple of iterations I didn't buy them because I thought
it was a lot of money it was only when he came down here in the UK to about £1700 I thought you
know fold for for that much you're getting three screens you know it's quite a lot of
um features in here that I I wanted to try and boy you know I'm really glad I did because I enjoyed
that phone last year if you watch my videos you know that I've I've named it the phone of the year
last in 2022. naturally I'm really excited for the full five now I've given Apple for example a lot
of stick for you know not changing the design you know for the last how many years but I am still
excited for it because I like that form factor I don't want it to be a bigger screen actually
I enjoy the fact that it is a more manageable you know ergonomically it goes against everything that
you believe right if you just watch the adverts and if you've seen it in on the Telly or here
on YouTube looks clunky and looks like unwieldy to to carry but I found it incredible I mean it's the
perfect weight in size for me I wish Apple would do that as well and I know pixel did affordable
and I really wanted to try it when it first was announced but then I saw a picture of it and I'm
not I'm not being mean here I'm just I just didn't like the look of it it may well be an amazing
device and maybe for for this reviews to be more meaningful to you am I actually get pixel folding
and do a you know a real world comparison between that and the fold five maybe when that comes out I
think they compromise too much on the design you know those bezels is not something that I could
see past to be honest it's a little bit like the Monkey Island on the iPhone it's just two in your
face there is another reason why I'm not excited about the iPhone 15 and that actually is Apple's
own fault but before I get into that just a quick reminder to like this video if you're enjoying of
course I'm not gonna push it to subscribe or like this video If you're not enjoying it so please
but after this have a look on the channel and if you like my stuff it would be awesome if you
subscribed I'm here at least once a week this is my second video this week so at least once
a week with that down tourist Tech video for you afternoon this next reason is Apple's own fault
in a good way they just announced of course recently the Apple Vision Pro I think we are
still a few years away from it being you know Mass consumption you know decent price that anyone can
afford and buy and treat it as a smartphone that's the sort of stuff that as a consumer
like a geeker or someone like who enjoys gadgets that's the sort of thing that I look forward to
it's almost like like a replacement device even if it's replacing an iPad because let's face
it three and a half Grand plus another 1200 or whatever for the iPhone yeah it's not it's not
going to be a cheap thing to have both or let alone just one of them I love to know though
are you excited for the iPhone 15 how do you feel about it knowing what we know so far you know is
this a device that you're looking forward to have you been holding on on an upgrade Maybe
from a an older iPhone like a 12 or maybe a iPhone 11 and you say actually this is now
time for me to upgrade and I think in that case you're probably right but um yeah let me know I
just want to know kind of engage how many people are actually interested in the iPhone 15 or maybe
you are even on the 14 now and you just you know you say I I just want the latest and if that's you
let me know for me what would Apple need to do to get me excited for me it's all about the software
recently well the main reason why I got rid of my iPhone 14 per Max was the software experience iOS
16 I think it was at the time was really terrible for me and call Quality was horrible as well you
know I was really not having a great time I wasn't even planning to keep the s23 ultra initially but
the experience on that has been so for me I I know it's everyone is different but for me it has been
so much Superior that I thought there's absolutely no need to you know to keep the 14 anymore no I'm
not trying to catch you out I just changed shirts because I went to have a coffee and spilled
something anyway by the way a lot of people have been asking me well these shirts are and
all the clothing that I'm wearing you know I'm of a certain age so I know this is not going
to appeal for everyone I actually approached the brand because so many of you are asking what is
this show and I really like it I'm not sponsored or anything but they are giving you a I think as
a 10 it might be more but I think it's at least a 10 discount so yeah just there's a link in the
description there something else that Apple could do is actually change the design slightly even if
it's just the material they use in some of their models it's being rumored before that they would
bring a titanium version for example some sort of ultra device and frankly I think the squared off
design has had its days now right we've had it it looks beautiful but it just doesn't feel as
ergonomic as other devices right now I was just gonna say this is something that's been really
bugging me for a while I like to put out more videos and this is I'm afraid the only way unless
I increase in like higher a team of people to you know create a production here the only way for me
to put out more videos is to compromise a little bit on the quality and maybe just make videos that
are quicker like this one but if you didn't like it and if it's crap then do let me know because
without you this channel doesn't exist right and if you say Alex I'd rather wait two weeks and get
a good video than get videos that were like this a little bit more rushed and I've just done my five
month review with the s23 ultra which has been oh it's actually a very popular video as well if you
haven't seen that have a look at that if you've seen it there's some more videos over here for you
that was just ramble let's delete that but everything I've thrown on this phone is
dealt with magnificent I don't use that word I really need to script my video
