- (Jonathan) Yo guys, Jonathan here, it is early morning
here on the west coast, but I think it's only fitting because today is what I
would call a good day. Not only am I checking out
the brand new iPhone 8, but the 8 Plus as well,
gonna see what's new and ultimately how they
stack up side-by-side. (Upbeat music) And before I hop in,
what would an unboxing be without a giveaway, so if
you're excited for that, let me know by droppin' a like down below, queue shout out to 23andMe,
where you can discover more about yourself through
DNA for sponsoring this unboxing and giveaway. Because of that, you have
a chance to win either an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus,
the choice is yours.

Definitely make sure you're subscribed. For the complete details on how to win, check out the link below. Now I'm sure most of
you out there have seen an iPhone unboxing or
two, but if you haven't, and this is your first
time, I'm gonna throw a virtual high five your way, and we're gonna experience this together. Inside the box you have
the USB wall charger and Lightning cable, a wired
pair of Lightning ear pods, not air pods, I am super
used to sayin' that by now.

And just in case Lightning
ear pods aren't your thing, on the flip side, you do
get a Lightning 3.5 Mm audio adapter so you can
use any pair of headphones. So now that we've got the
accessories out of the way, we are here for what we all came for, the iPhone 8 and the 8 Plus. This here is the gold iPhone 8 Plus, along with the silver iPhone 8, and I gotta say, between all
the colors across the board, including the iPhone 10, I think the gold is my favorite by far. Somethin' about it that
just screams classy, and I think the word that comes to mind with the gold iPhone is creamy, and because of that,
I can't help but think these would look perfect next to a pair of cream Yeezys.

Now there's no denying design wise, this is very similar
to the iPhone 6, the 6s and the 7, but once you
stack them side-by-side, you can start to see the
evolution of how things change, plus there's just something
about that glass back that changes out the look and feel that has me excited again,
and honestly excluding the iPhone 10, I think this
is maybe the best looking iPhone since the iPhone 4 and 4s. Beyond that, the glass
back isn't just for looks, it also brings for the first time ever, wireless charging to the iPhone. For you there, this is
not me trying to say Apple revolutionized or invented
wireless charging, in fact, Apple opted to go
with the wireless Qi standard, and not some crazy,
proprietary Apple nonsense, and that is absolutely a
good thing for everybody. One, it is going to increase the number of wireless charging products
out there, and two, definitely make it more
widespread across the platform as a whole.

Now stackin' up the 8
and 8 Plus side-by-side, regardless of the size difference, you are getting the exact
same A11 bionic processor inside both these phones. In fact, that is the exact same chip found in the iPhone 10. So just in case the iPhone 8
or 8 Plus is more your thing, maybe you're not ready to
give up that home button, it's nice to know you're
not sacrificing performance across any of these. Now if those are simply
just numbers to you, and it doesn't mean
anything, to put things into perspective, that is on
par with a 13" MacBook Pro, which is nuts to think about.

Because of that, I am definitely gonna see how it stacks up side-by-side against that MacBook Pro, a Galaxy
S8, and if there's anything you wanna see it compared to side-by-side, let me know with a comment down below. Now as far as the displays go, while size or the
resolution hasn't changed on these phones, what's
new is True Tone Display. It's a little hard to
show off through video, I think I have an idea of how to do it, it's just gonna take a little bit longer, so stay tuned for my full review. But essentially it is this realtime adaptive white balance for your display, so no matter what the
lighting conditions are, you're gonna have a better representation of what those colors are.

So again, while the
screen size or resolution hasn't changed, the iPhone
8 features a 4.7" Display with a resolution of 1334 x 750, whereas the iPhone 8
Plus is a 5.5" Display with a 1920 x 1080p display. Now as far as what that
extra screen real estate equates to, take a look at 23andMe.Com. You can see on the iPhone 8 Plus, we see two entire sections,
whereas on the iPhone 8, we would clearly have to scroll up. From there, jumpin' into
their Neanderthal ancestry section, and yes, if you've
ever wondered to yourself how much Neanderthal DNA is part of me, that is somethin' they offer.

But regardless, on the iPhone 8 Plus, you can see every single paragraph, where on the iPhone 8, you would clearly have to scroll down. Also, for reference, we know
Austin Evans is jacked as hell and seein' those biceps
on a bigger 5.5" Display is a beautiful thing. Now from there, one big difference between the iPhone 8
Plus and 8 has got to be battery life. With the iPhone 8, you
can pretty much expect that you're gonna have to plug in at least once throughout the day,
whereas with the iPhone 8 Plus, that's gonna get you for
sure a couple more hours, more than likely last you
throughout the entire day.

From there, both the
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus feature improved cameras, clearly
the biggest difference is going to be the dual
camera setup on the iPhone 8 Plus, so I'm
gonna start with something they both share, and it's video. Both of these phones
will shoot video up to 4k resolution at 60 frames per second, which is actually kind of crazy, not many phones or even
cameras out there do that right now. This video was shot in
24 frames per second, so I can't show off the 60 fps here, but if you wanna see a full
4k 60 fps demo on the iPhone, let me know and I will
get that out for you guys. Speaking of 24 frames per second though, there is now an option to shoot 24 fps on the iPhones, you're not gonna have to download an additional app, you can do it straight from iOS.

The other really impressive
thing on both these phones is 240 fps slow motion video at 1080p. Here is a quick test of Rich
doin' some majestic jumps, and the more impressive thing for me here is actually lighting
here wasn't that optimal. It was getting closer to
dark, so there wasn't a ton of light, but it still
performed really well. I'm definitely gonna be
doing some more tests both on the 4k 60 side, and
the 240 fps slow motion, but regardless, initial
impressions on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, this is one of
the most underrated features.

From there, jumpin' into picture quality, this was shot on the iPhone 8 Plus, but it's using the main wide angle lens, so it's something you can
expect the exact same results on the iPhone 8 as well. Same thing here as well,
and I love this picture here because of the dynamic range. Everything is sharp, we
don't lose the dark areas, you can see how the color
of those bike racks pop, and lastly, the sky. We can see the blue,
we can see the clouds, and nothing is blown out.

Now from there, jumpin'
into more of a lower light situation, this was
one of my favorite shots. Everything holds together really nicely, even though it was getting dark. I particularly like the roll off here, straight from the camera and no artificial depth added at all. From there, this is pretty
much right after sunset, so it's getting pretty dark here, and yeah, you can definitely
see a little bit of noise towards the street on the
bottom side of the picture, but it's nice to retain both the shadows, the sky, you can really see that orange, and overall I really like this picture.

Now as far as what
advantage that dual camera on the iPhone 8 Plus get you over the 8, here is a shot on the wide
angle lens on the iPhone 8 Plus, and then here is another
shot using the telephoto lens at the exact same distance apart. We then of course have portrait mode, which is by far one of the
best and most enticing features of the 7 Plus, and it is no different here with the 8 Plus. What's also cool with the
iPhone 8 Plus beyond portrait mode is what Apple is
calling portrait lighting, which is really kind of crazy. What it is essentially,
is it allows you to manipulate different lighting environments through both hardware and software.

I've talked about this before, but what's awesome is you
can do this both while you're taking the photo,
or even adjust it after if you didn't take it in the first place. So I think as good as
portrait mode was on the iPhone 7 Plus, with the improved optics, and of course portrait lighting,
not only is it more fun, not only do you have more flexibility, it's just a better experience overall. From there, jumping over to
a front facing selfie test, this was shot on the iPhone 8 Plus, but again, because the front
facing cameras are the same, you can expect the exact same
shot on the iPhone 8 as well. Here we have one more
selfie for good measure, and it's kind of perfect with 23andMe.Com sponsoring this video,
because I've often got asked what ethnicity I am.

I know for sure I'm part
Hispanic, part white, with a little bit of
Irish, but beyond that, I have no idea. So with that I sent off the 23andMe kit, which should give me a full
breakdown of everything I am. It's a little scary,
but also really exciting to think about, so if that's something you wanna check out, or something
you've been curious about, make sure you check out the
link below for full details and also stay tuned for a
future video where I find out exactly what I am. So nothing new here, but
of course the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are still
IP67 and water resistant, and I think that means
we gotta test that out.

So into the water we go. (Water gurgles on mic) (water gurgles on mic) Looks good, it's clean,
it's still recording, and I'm also curious to see,
this is also a pretty good low light test, it's about 7:15, the light is gettin'
sucked away pretty quick, so let me know what you
think of the quality with a comment down below. Next from there, kind of
utilizing both the cameras and the processing power
of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, this was really kind of
my first time to truly play with AR. I got a chance to mess
around with Sky Guide, which is kind of amazing.

It utilizes a compass with the cameras and augmented reality to
give you this realtime look into the sky. It is kind of crazy. I think by far the most
impressive thing for me wasn't how fast, or how
instant everything was, it was the fact that it could react and adapt to your environment in realtime. So if you notice, if you
look behind the tree, the text is actually sitting behind there, which is bonkers.

So all in all, while I
think the iPhone 10 is definitely the phone most
people are waitin' for, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
still have a lot of really attractive features. You saw the power of the performance, the cameras, you have water resistance, wireless charging, and
maybe you're not ready to give up that home
button, that is something that is still here and readily available on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Definitely gonna spend
some more time with it, so if you have any questions, or other features you want
covered more extensively, let me know with a comment down below. Aside from that, thank you guys very much for watching, this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later..

iPhone 8 + Apple Watch Series 3 Accessories

iPhone 8 + Apple Watch Series 3 Accessories

Image source: http://bandwidthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/apple-watch-series-3.jpg

Hey guys, how's it going it's Justine and happy iPhone 8 launch day, I feel like every time There's an iPhone launch something goes wrong. I mess up my pre-order. I order the wrong phone. I'm traveling I'm out of town never fails always something.

I'm not sure what it is about my luck, but this time I'm traveling for a really fun project. I've only gone for a day, which means tomorrow I will be back in town to get to my iPhone, but today is Friday, and I filmed this a few days ago And this is something that I've been really looking forward to checking out ever since I saw them at the Apple event these are two Of the new wireless charging bases this one is by Belkin and this one is by Mophie. Not really sure which one I'm going to like more since I got the gold iPhone 8. I got the gold iPhone dock to go with it I was trying to think what case would look best and probably just gonna go back to getting a white case But I thought I would try out this this is the new pink sand iPhone 8 case And I got the pinks and Apple watch band to match of course you got it back to the band with the case Fashion or something the first thing I will unbox.

I guess is this iPhone case It's called the riveting unboxing hold on wait for it I love this color. It's a really really pretty sort of like a blush pink. I guess you could call it sand pink That's what they're calling it pink sand. I'm wondering will this fit on the iPhone 7 yes, the iPhone 8 case fits on the iPhone 7 seems like they made the camera hole just a little bit smaller this looks to Me to be about the same size, so Essentially, I think this case is basically the same So it's labeled an iPhone 8 case, but you can obviously use it for your iPhone 7 So that is good news, but in the meantime, Back You go little boy.

Let's open up this Apple watch Band see what this looks like on here looks great! Yeah, look at this aesthetic. I also get a question a lot because When people look at my Apple watch it looks like I'm wearing it upside down, but I haven't flipped because I'm left-handed Newsflash most left-handers, I know where watches on the opposite hand the pink sand on the white ceramic face Yeah, this is beautiful I had such a conflict on which Apple watch ticket I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the gray ceramic or the white ceramic or a 38 because this is the 42 and it's pretty big, so we'll see it's a very hard decision I had a lot of conflicts I like the bigger screen But I also feel like my wrists are so small that a smaller watch might look a little bit better I'm not sure. Oh boy. So this is a gold dog.

Let's open you up This is a really nice gold color. I'm just hoping that all of these colors do not clash I'm not a hundred percent in love with it. Maybe like 73% Actually in this lighting I'm gonna go with like maybe an 85 percent, so let's just picture this This is where the iPhone 8 will be Tomorrow they might be late upload, but I will get an unboxing up for you guys. I'm so excited I'm basically going to be hopping off the plane at LAX with my cardigan I'm a Nintendo switch and a dream, or is it my dream in a cardigan a dream and coming on the plane and Miley Cyrus party in the USA party in the USA is Miley Cyrus.

That's what I said With my Nintendo switch and my cardigan No, this isn't working out I hopped off the plane at LAX with an iPhone 8 in my hand. I've got a lot of trash. I'm losing my mind It's 11:31 p.M.. It is very late, it's way past my bedtime This is the new Belkin wireless charging pad classic Vulcan style That's big, It's a very big pad.

So here You've got the wireless charging pad disc maybe And and here we've got this switch plugs right into the wall Directions guess what you're not supposed to do put your piece on the mat This key is on the neck keys on the mat. Literally. I can't charge anything with us yet Except maybe Samsung phone let's take a look I'll plug you in! It just looks like a little plate little I'm gonna falling apart with right of your eyes It's got a nice little group right here That shows you exactly The Way to plug it in so fits nicely to the ground so there won't be any sort of raised cord when you set it Down on a flat surface there it is Is it on are you on? Yes charging wirelessly the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X both use qi wireless technology so anything else that uses that as well You will be able to charge on these wireless pads mats. Do you prefer mats more or pads? I feel like pads it has a very uncomfortable sound to it now Let's check out the Mophie wireless charging base And I've used a bunch of the Mophie wireless charging things in the past There it is, it seems to be almost the same size, maybe a little bit smaller.

Oh, it's heavy Wait There's a size comparison I guess at this point it really depends on what color you want I feel like this is definitely very smaller it has a much lower profile a power cable. Just plugs right into the back here This can also be a deciding factor of which cord is longer They seem to be same size. So okay, Good to know. I know what you're saying Wow oopsies.

Oh, but Justine Samsung's had wireless charging forever, but guess what your messages are green not blue, so here's the Belkin and here is the Mophie so I kind of think that I like the The Mophie one a little bit more cause it's a little bit smaller So if you have the sitting down It's very non intrusive like I probably wouldn't even know that that was Something that you could put your phone on to charge if I didn't already know that that's what it was But this one's more like one of those USB Coffee cup warmers, so you guys seen those you plug it in you put your coffee on it And it heats your coffee mug up. I mean as a size comparison look at this it's like a little Squished hockey puck. Which one Do you guys think that you like more? Thank you guys so much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little unboxing of the things that I decided to get for my new iPhone 8 and my new Apple watch I can't wait to try this out with my new iPhone Stay tuned because all of my iPhone or Apple watch videos will be out very very shortly as soon as I can film and edit them and post them online you guys will be the first to know about it if you aren't subscribed to my youtube channel just hit The subscribe button welcome to the family you can also hit the little Bell button That's a little notification, so you will know exactly what I post a video Well that being said I'm gonna go it is 11:30 p.M.. And just past my bedtime, and I have a flight in the morning And I haven't packed If you guys have been subscribed for a while, you know this is nothing new and I'm losing my voice, and I'm drinking coffee Geez happy iPhone 8 launch day.

Gold iPhone 8 Plus Unboxing!

Gold iPhone 8 Plus Unboxing!

Image source: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/A1gqJipc5q8/maxresdefault.jpg

Hey guys, how's it going it's Justine and today I am so excited because this is the moment that I have been waiting for And I think it's a moment that some of you have been waiting for as well I now have my new iPhone 8 plus, and this one actually isn't mine, but I am unboxing this one as well This is the silver iPhone 8 So one of my favorite things about the gold iPhone 8 plus so far is the box is also a very light beige color So you might not be able to tell unless you hold the other one up to it It's a very very slight tint let's start the unboxing Trying to contain my excitement as some of you might think that I'm overreacting into you I say I am NOT. This is someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about iPhones and everything Apple I need the stickers out of there. Back, okay, but we gotta get my stickers I have to save my stickers I cannot lose them Hey, Motorola Do you guys want to use this enthusiastic face next time you parody one of my videos for your commercials? I'd say call me, but I'm a little busy. Yeah, I don't want to take it out of the box.

It just looks so pristine and perfect also, put up the silver Ah Shoot I got so excited for the big reveal that I forgot instructions Better put this away All our accessories just came right out with it. We've got our charging brick I usually use the bigger charging bricks because they charge my phone much faster got our ear pods and also we cannot forget the wonderful infamous dongle if you don't know what that's for I. Just can't talk about it and of course last, but not least we've got a lightning cable. I'm still surprised They didn't end up going type USB C on the iPhone 10 I thought for sure that they would I feel like it may have been a little bit too much We removed your headphone jack your touch ID and now you have to unlock your phone using facial recognition Oh by the way.

Now. You need a whole nother cable all those lightning cables. You've got bye-bye I would have been perfectly fine with it though because I've got so many USB C cables mmm Good thing this thing is waterproof I'm very very excited. I don't want to take the bottom in Wow Now for the front I cannot stress to you how beautiful this gold is if you're a fan of rose gold jewelry.

This is definitely something that matches Actual rose gold jewelry the other two golds that they had the one was too pink the other was too gold But this is I've said it before but this is a perfect marriage of both of those golds to this Here's my pink sand band to kind of go with it. It's a pretty good match. Here's my pink sand iPhone case now Let's see how this looks on it because this is what I was hoping I was hoping that it would look perfect, and it does OH it's turning on!! The color matches almost perfectly and it looks really really good There's a slight gold accent right here on the touch ID got our lightning port as usual It looks really good This almost makes me really sad that there's not going to be a gold iPhone 10 if you have an iPhone iPad and bring it In your by to sign it on if you want you can also I've never done this before quick start a little prompt just showed up It's saying set up new phone, and then I'm going to hit continue, and we're gonna see what happens So during the set of that brings you to this true tone display Setting the iPhone automatically adapts to ambient lighting conditions to make colors of your consistently different environments next up. We've got this little guy We've got all of our same accessories This is kind of giving me a little taste of what to expect with the iPhone 10 because I do plan on getting the silver Estimated time remaining oh boy this is going to take a while oh Just getting five minutes twelve ten nine.

Oh, I don't know I'll be patient the silver is really really great So in comparison to the gold let's take a look So it's like all of my apps are being re-downloaded, which is probably gonna. Take a little while for sure well those download I have two other cases to show you guys here. This is a rose red color And I know you guys know that I'm not a huge fan of red, but this is more of like a berry type color So it's not necessarily red. I feel like if I was gonna have a red case This is definitely the color that I would go for see what it looks like on me silver 8'o I'm always curious, what do you guys prefer do you prefer a smaller phone? Do you like the 8 plus? Do you like the size of the 8, or do you even think that this is too big? I've also got one of the new iPhone 8 leather cases.

This is the cosmos blue Seem to Why are you so difficult? This is actually a nice color blue let's see the blue on the gold phone. It's not bad I don't think that I would pair this blue with the gold though. You would probably go very well with the white I'm sure it would look perfectly fine. Also on the black.

It's not bad I feel like this is not a justine color though. I might try to go caseless for a little while I know that's very very scary well the thing I thought was kind of interesting is they removed all of the text below the iPhone So as you can see there's text here no Text here very very clean. Here's some of the new wallpapers. I think I'm probably going to choose I already have one of these sets which I previously had downloaded whenever they had the leaked images.

I picked this one Here's a look at some of the new camera features. I've got the natural light the studio light contour light stage light Stage light mono. I'm wondering if I'm gonna be able to try to take a picture of myself Place subject within stage light okay, the struggle of making videos by myself I don't have anybody to take this picture for me. This is gonna be a great test Let's see here.

I feel like that what I might be in okay. Let's just let's press the button is you would have Okay, I just took this picture basically And just set up a timer and took a picture of myself very dramatic oh Yeah, this is definitely gonna work way better. We want to have somebody else take the picture for me I'll be doing a full camera review and test very very shortly so look for that in the next couple of days There may be a chance the videos already up I'd be sure to check my channel and make sure you subscribe so you know when I launch new videos my phone is still currently updating So there it is I need to be much further away. I can't reach my arm any further One of the big highlights of the new 8 in the 8 plus is there is now wireless charging I covered these chargers in my previous video where I opened some accessories for my new iPhone and my Apple watch This is the mophie charger, and this is the Belkin wireless charger, and if you're completely clueless on how this works you may have missed That demonstration well, thank you guys so much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed this unboxing of the new iPhone 8 plus in gold and the silver 8 I'll be doing a much more comprehensive review especially Dedicating a lot of time to the camera, but that's something that I'm not able to film by myself So I'll be recruiting my sister once again who actually unboxed the iPhone before me She got the Space Gray which I'm very happy about so we'll be able to do a color comparison so look for that video soon But the next one that I'm going to be posting is the Apple watch series 3 unboxing I got the gray ceramic and the white ceramic and I'm not sure which one I want to keep I guess we'll find out why I box that thanks for watching, and I'll see you guys soon Your sweet I'm not well just kidding I'm perfectly fine debatable hahaha.
