- Hey guys, good morning, I just woke up,
and I've been having this reoccurring nightmare,
and you can definitely tell it's the morning
because the sun is right here in my eyes.
So the nightmare starts like this.
I wake up, I look at my phone, and I realize
that I have overslept,
and I've missed the entire Apple announcement.
But the worst part about it is that I got an invite,
this is all theoretical, in my dream,
and since I got an invite, I wake up in my own bed,
realizing that I have completely missed my flight.
I've missed the announcement,
and my whole first-world problems come crashing down.
It might not seem like a nightmare to some of you,
but every morning I keep waking up in a panic.
(alarm buzzes) News flash, news flash.
So, I basically shot what you just saw,
and this entire rest of this video after this little clip,
before we had the official release date.
And the official release date is right here,
Apple Special Event at the Steve Jobs Theater,
September 12th, 10 a.m. (screams).
It's so crazy that I woke up this morning
with this premonition that this was gonna happen.
The invites have officially been sent out, and well,
I don't have one, but that's okay.
My eyes will still be glued to this screen.
So it looks like all of the rumors and premonitions
and leaks and everything else is true.
September 12th is the day, 10 a.m.,
which means we are that much closer to a new iPhone.
iPhones, there's going to be multiple.
Anyway, let's continue on with this video
that I shot and edited before this announcement.
So then I had to make a few changes here at the beginning.
Let's carry on.
So today, I just wanted to chat with you guys pretty quickly
because it has been not officially announced,
but unofficially, officially leaked,
that September 12th will be the date
of the actual Apple announcement.
Usually the Apple announcement is a little bit earlier
in September, which I was kind of hoping for,
because I'm going to be traveling the end of the month.
which would put the date of the iPhone being released
when I'm out of town. (crowd boos)
Something happens every single time
that the iPhone comes out.
Like last time, do you guys remember?
I ordered the jet black, where was the jet black?
It was like four or five days late.
And then on the 6s, I feel like something happened,
and then the 6, I had to sleep outside,
and at one point, I got an empty box for the iPhone 4.
You know, I just think the iPhone gods
are not on my side sometimes.
So I'm looking in my iCal, so September 12th,
if that's the actual date of the announcement.
Usually Apple will release the phone a week later,
that next Friday.
So, looking here, that would put the release date
at about the 22nd, which is pretty crazy,
because that's really, really soon.
There's also been a lot of speculation
on whether or not the iPhone 8
will actually be released that day.
There's been so many reports of delays
because of the OLED screen and the facial recognition.
And before, most people thought it was
because they were trying to get the Touch ID to work,
integrated into the phone,
but now that's pretty much non-existent.
Almost everything that I've read, it's pretty much confirmed
that there will not be a Touch ID at all.
It will all be facial recognition,
which kind of makes me a little bit nervous
because that's something that Apple has not done before.
So with that being said, fingers crossed
that there's no issues, everything works perfectly.
With most things, day one products,
there's usually some issues.
So let's just hope that doesn't happen.
With the Touch ID being removed,
that's going to put some complications
on how you actually use your phone
because one of the things that you're used to doing
is pressing this button to go home.
It unlocks your phone.
It does basically everything
to get you back to where you need to be.
So here's a really cool animation from MacRumors
that they have from this guy right here,
showing you what it would be like to use your phone
without the Touch ID.
It'll all be using gesture controls,
which I feel like could get a little bit confusing
for people who are so used to iOS
and how it usually functions.
But for most people that I think are pretty tech savvy,
I think we'll be okay.
I'm pretty sure this gesture is something I can handle.
(laughs) Man, look how good this looks.
It does look a lot like an S8, I will say that.
I really like these images as well
that shows what the status bar can look like.
So because the new iPad does have this dock,
I haven't seen this yet in the iOS 11 Beta.
The current version of the iOS 11 Beta that I'm using
is Beta 8, and it's been working really, really well.
Beta 5 was super rough.
"Users can drag the gesture bar up to the middle
"of the screen to unlock the device.
"When inside an app, a similar gesture starts multitasking.
"Continue to flick upwards to close the app
"and go back to the home screen."
It's gonna be really weird using your phone
without having that physical button,
or somewhere that you're used to pressing.
I'm excited to test that out.
Something that I am excited about
is the new increase in storage.
It's said that there's going
to be a 512 gig version of the iPhone 8,
which will put all of the sizes, 64, 256 and 512
with three gigs of RAM.
It's so crazy to think about
how much technology is in your phone.
When I was asking my parents for 32 megabytes of RAM,
when I was in middle school, for Christmas.
It's kind of crazy to think too,
that the lowest amount of storage is 64 gigs.
A lot of people store things on the Cloud,
so you don't necessarily need to have the largest phone.
But for me, I put a lot of 4K videos on my phone,
not just necessarily the ones that I take from my camera,
but I usually send the YouTube videos that I make here,
on my computer, to my phone, and I use different apps
to make little gifs, and then sometimes I like to post them
on Instagram or post them on Facebook from my phone.
So not only do I have all the videos I've actually shot
using this camera, I have almost all of the videos
that I've filmed and shot, and I post on YouTube.
Those 4K video files definitely add up.
On average, each file is at least a gig.
So if I have 12, that's gonna go really quick.
"Well, it looks like the iPhone 8 interface
"is going to be ugly."
Okay, Zach, clearly this is a headline looking for clicks
and controversy, which I don't 100 percent disagree with.
What Zach is talking about here in this article
is the notch that is cut out of the iPhone 8.
How developers and Apple decides to handle that,
I'm not sure what it's going to look like
because this version of iOS 11 is not on an iPhone 8.
So, I'm not really sure.
"The hideous way to approach the new display design
"is to have a big notch cut up on the top of apps.
"Sadly, this is apparently the option
"Apple decided to go with."
I don't really think it's going to be that bad.
I feel like we won't know until we actually see the phone,
we get it in our hands and get to decide for ourself.
But calling it ugly and hideous I think is a little bit far.
I think it's going to be perfectly fine,
and no one's even going to notice.
And if they do notice, I'll print out my words,
and I will eat them.
So here you can see what he was talking about
with the notch cut out.
If you made this part black right here,
it would all blend in very nicely.
But it will be interesting
to see how different apps kind of take advantage of that.
Because when you are on your phone,
and you open up a different app,
that whole top area still stays there,
but it does change depending upon which app you're opening.
So I'm assuming that's something
that developers will have to decide.
I don't know, I'm unsure.
I don't have all the answers, I wish I did.
I probably won't even have a phone day one.
This looks nice, no notch cut out.
It looks beautiful, this is something I can get behind.
How does that look ugly?
It doesn't, it's beautiful.
(groans) "People briefed on the product pricing
"from $999, $350 in price increase."
That is a pretty significant price increase.
But here is another thing that I'm also thinking.
If you are an obsessive phone user
and you basically are running your entire life
off of your phone, I hardly even use my computer anymore,
unless I'm editing, I do everything on here.
But what exactly are we getting extra for that 350?
We'll find out, and last, but not least, what is this color?
One of my favorite colors is almost this color.
It's pretty similar, I'm still in my pajamas.
It's almost very similar to that.
I don't even know if my color correcting
is gonna be accurate.
I absolutely love this color of the rose gold iPhone.
This was beautiful.
It's almost like a darker color of the rose gold.
I guess they're calling it a blush copper pink.
Even though I'm not super into this color,
I feel like, for some reason,
I'm probably gonna really like it in person.
Maybe this color is a little bit off.
I'm hoping it's a little bit off
because I feel like it's a little bit too dark of a color.
(iPhone beeps)
How many days until September 12th?
- It's 12 days until then. - 12 days.
♪ On the first day of iPhone-mas, my Siri gave to me ♪
Hey, Siri, is there anything happening on September 12th?
- [Siri] Let me check that.
Here's what I found on the web
for "Is there anything happening on September 12th?"
- When is the new iPhone 8 coming out?
- [Siri] Apple.com should be able
to answer that question and more.
- So at this point, we're a mere 12 days away
from the day that we finally find out about the iPhone 8.
And you know what's absolutely insane?
I went to MacRumors this morning (laughs).
They're already talking about the iPhone 9.
What, "With a nearly six and a half inch display,
"the so-called iPhone 9 would have an even larger screen
"than the Galaxy Note 8, introduced earlier this month.
"The 5.85-inch version would likely be the same size
"of the iPhone 8," oh my gosh.
We're already talking about the iPhone 9, I'm ready.
I mean, we don't even have an iPhone 7s yet.
We don't even have an iPhone 8,
and we're already talking about the iPhone 9.
Do you guys think that the iPhone 8
will actually be called something else?
I have this feeling that it's going
to be called something else,
but then that might complicate things,
and then people might get confused.
I don't know, what do you think?
Leave me some comments below,
and let me know what you guys think about the new iPhone 8.
Do you think it will be called something else?
What do you think about the iPhone 9?
At this point, if the iPhone 8 is called something else,
then they can't call the iPhone 9 the iPhone 9.
I'm stressed out.
Well, thank you guys so much for watching.
I'm going to leave you with one last thing.
I'm going to put some links in the description
where you guys can donate to help Hurricane Harvey victims.
It's been absolutely devastating to see what has happened
in these cities, and people losing their homes
and their lives and their pets
and everything that they own.
And the little bits that we can help
will definitely help and go a long way.
So many people have donated so much time and effort
and energy and money into this cause
that hopefully everyone affected will soon find their way
and be able to get back on their feet again.
So to all of you guys affected, your friends or family,
I love you, and if you haven't donated already,
anything will help, and I will see you guys later.
(bright, upbeat music)
