That's because back then it was 'first come, first serve' if you wanted the latest iPhone at an Apple Store. This all changed about 7 years ago or so when they switched over to the pre-order system. It's kind of like when movie theaters switched over to assigned seating. No more camping out to get the best seat.
I am surprised people are still lining up. I would assume the Apple lost its magic and people can just sit on their butts at home and just order it online.
That kind of blew me away when you said that you were holding your 15 pro. The mic definitely fooled me and sounded great! It would be cool if they could make improvements in the future with software alone.
Oh my gosh the microphone reveal shocked me. All the other pre-release demos of the mics were pretty tinny and not super impressive, but THIS?! This was perfect, I was certain you were using your mic. WOW (in the voice of Tim apple)
It sounds like he really wants to buy it for her. She must be saying she doesn't need it. If you're on the internet a device that no longer gets updates isn't safe to use.
Congrats on the new phone man. With the microphones I can tell that the midrange from your recording sounds a little more full. I'm not sure if Apple is using new microphones, but it sounds like they are adding stereo imaging Fx, and adding other algorithms into the audio pipeline.
I am still using my iPhone X max. Last night I just ordered the iPhone 6, Pro, Max in Desert Rose. It was a hard call between that color and the white. I will get delivery on October 18
If he really wants to get Louise to upgrade what he should do is keep the 16 pro max and “accidentally” do something to the 15 Pro Max that makes it unsellable, but still usable, such as gouging the side rail.
That Australian Tesla with a left hand steering wheel sure is something to behold! Last time I was in Australia, the steering wheel was on the right. Yes, we get your humor.
I did the opposite of you. I had the 15 Pro Max and went with the iPhone 16 Pro this year, since the 15 PM was already quite large and kind of heavy. I also didn't like the extra weight in my pants pocket. Since both phones have the same camera features this year, it was an easy choice for me.
The pink-ish, sandy color is gorgeous-it’s probably my favorite pro color since the sierra blue on the 13. it’s kind of funny reading reactions online rn from men who are upset it’s too “feminine” lmao
Jonathan Morrison made a great point, the camera and audio quality of the new iPhone 16 Pro is so good you almost don't even need fancy camera gear at this point.
Good video - with a mega dose of nostalgia! I’ve attended numerous iWaiting events all over the world since my first one in Chicago for the launch of the original iPhone in the summer of 2007. I’ve enjoyed all of them - even the ones that took place in situations that were less than ideal for lining up overnight under less than hospitable weather conditions. However, since the shipping procedure of the preordered new items got so optimized to the extent that the products would often be delivered earlier than expected, I stopped years ago …
I have a iPhone 12 mini and love it so I’m bummed that they discontinued the minis and I’ll have to adjust to carrying around a mini iPad in my pockets with this upgrade to the 16.
Bro your girl gave you every hint that she wants to upgrade to the pro in desert titanium!! She doesn’t want the 60hz kid iphone! She even def hinted when holding the smaller pro how nice and fast it felt!! Take her back in there and hook her up especially after dissing her camera in the car! I have the same phone as you on the way btw haha.
I didn't notice the change in microphone quality, but for what it's worth, I had forgotten that you record on iphone and would've thought this was done with a studio mic setup
I am currently using the 15 pro Max and I have tried the 16 pro Max which I am very disappointed. 1. The camera control is very confusing and hard to use. Everything the button can do you can do it easier on the screen. The most stupid thing is that you have to long press the button and cannot release it for taking video for example if you have to take a video for 30 seconds and you have to hold 30 seconds for taking the video. 2. All the Apple Intelligence function are not available yet which I felt Apple is very rushed this time and I think that they should postpone the release to October which they have done it in iPhone 12 and it’s no big deal but it’s better to launch a “complete” phone. 3. Maybe they’re only great thing about the 16th pro Max is the battery and the processor with more efficiency and endurance.
Great video! Hope you enjoy your new phones and the best of all, keeping it real and being honest. BTW, the quality of the iPhone X was ok, a bit dark but was ok, don’t apologize and continue your journey.
Ok i can definitely notice the mic quality difference i was wondering if you were using your external mic because i noticed you had the 15 pro in your hand because of the camera bump haha
It's cool you went to Australia to be first but last on line it's funny that considering you review most of iPhone you don't give her your old phone but in my opinion the only feature that is worth upgrading for is magsafe and 120 hertz although it's nice to have a new phone every year
...and yes. The mic difference was immediately noticeable. It wasn't terrible, but it was definitely lesser, as though you didn't have any room, sound-conditioning
Coming from the 12 pro max the 16 pro max feels smaller in the hands because the 12 is wider and sharper and the 16 even feels lighter because the weight is more in the center
The last time I stood in line for an iPhone was the iPhone 4 at Lenox Mall. Man. I was in line for about 8 hours. I didn’t get to see the clap because I was too far back in line 😂! But Apple bought us Chick-fil-A biscuits. Apple was always nice for that. Because I stood in line to get tickets to episode 1 and that was like 10 to 12 hours. They ain’t get us nothing. We just rotated at the near by Hollywood video to take restroom breaks and buy sour patch kids for food. Man. I do not miss those days. But! For an interesting video to upload online. I’d do it again 😅.
I like Apple products, but man, the whole celebration thingy during the store opening is beyond cringy. BTW, I like the cliffhanger at the end. *Find out next week on TailosiveBall Z!*
I got delivered my 16 Pro Max today as well and boy i see literally "NO" difference at all as my older 15 Pro Max. It is already apparent that it will return to Apple :))
Weird. You knew all this going in but still ordered it? Why would you waste your time and money just to return what you knew you didn't need going in. :))
I figured you were using the 16 pro max once you got home. The audio quality is definitely different, but not in a bad way. Happy iPhone day. And please tell your wife that it is truly time for an upgrade lol. No more iPhone X
It has little to do with the microphone itself. If you place the world's best pro mic 4 feet away from your mouth in an untreated room, it will sound like crap too. The only way to avoid this is to use AI to generate a new voice based on the recording you make.
@@80-80. not really how sound and microphones work. To my understanding Drew’s room is somewhat sound treated as well. And you can’t really use ”generative AI” to do that if the source material is bad. Best bet is to just have more microphones and use raytracing algos (like what RTX Voice uses) to isolate audio, and with multiple mics it’s easier to analyze and you can ”tune” where you want the sound to be grabbed from. But that still requires you to hope the algorythm can work with your soundspace well. Simply put, sometimes you just need a proper dedicated microphone. Very similar to how you can add as many cameras to a phone as you’d like, but due to the lens and sensor limitations, you can still tell often when something is recorded on a phone (without a ton of post effects)
Picked mines up and I had to drive 4 hours to pick up. Thats weird of Apple. Houston Texas had none to pick up on 20th. So I drove 4 hours to New Orleans. Never had that happen before. It might be selling more than most think, in America at least. It took an hour to pick up. They need a pick up and leave line. Many pick up and get taught the phone for 1 hour. smh 🤦🏾
