This is most definitely on the case manufacturers. Apple isn’t locking them out of using these features of implementing ways to make them work with the cases better. And for many people these features aren’t even important, I doubt grandma is gonna care about MagSafe wallets or a camera shutter button working.
So many case manufacturers making phones for non Apple phones are now putting the MagSafe rings on them. This actually shows the prominence of MagSafe.
am I the only one that thinks the clear cases with magsafe are absolutely hideous and tacky with that ring there? most causes that have it are super ugly for some reason.
Nah, you can go caseless, went like that with SE nad 12 Mini - after 2 years they become rounded on the sides, dented on top and the bottom xd but nothing really broken
A cracked screen is so much more hideous looking than (any) phone case and the only way to truly protect your screen is to use a case. You need to be really unlucky to drop the phone protected by a case (without a panzerglass) in a way, that would crack the screen. Panzerglass on the other hand doesn't help at all if the phone for example takes a hit where the glass and frame meet. Nice video of a real problem.
If you have the iPhone 16, try Spigen cases! They have the special camera control feature on some of their case designs =) It's relatively cheap as well! (It's currently being discounted to 25 dollars!) Also - this video is really deep! It makes me think of magsafe in a different way. Your thoughtfulness is something that is really inspiring. Keep on going! (I'm definitely subscribing!)
I have the 16 pro max and a compatible clear MagSafe case from Spigen. I’ve had no issues with anything you’ve mentioned. Also the camera button is very handy, I use it multiple times every day. Lastly the cut out in the case for the button doesn’t majorly degrade from the overall protection and it doesn’t block access to the button. If you’re buying a $2000 phone don’t cheap out on an inferior $5 case 🤷♂️ Just spend the $30-$60 for a decent one.
I’ve been using a bumper and MagSafe grip. Would recommend, especially if you don’t want to hide the iPhone’s colour. I’ve got the Product Red, and it really pops! Thanks for the content.
The new iPhone 16 pro bezels are so thin it is kinda frustrating to apply screen protectors without the halo effect bubbles and lights may also bleed out at the edges
Otterbox Cases, they’re amazing, tough and sturdy, super firm aswell, absolutely fucking worth it, and they’ve saved my phone so many times I forgot how many times
hey, this vid popped up on my youtube front page, i assumed you had a whole bunch of subscribers when i watched the video judging by the quality, keep up the great work! hope you make it big soon!
Bro your killing it with this type of content. I just watched your 1st video right before this one, i had to sub right away your talented my guy! Can't wait to see the next one.
MagSafe is only made good for one function when you drive. You have easy phone attachment that can charge your phone. This is the only good use for MagSafe. It is good for the average show. Every other use is not useful enough. Of course they could be like a camera tripod, next accessory full content, creative that can be useful or maybe some other things but it’s only useful for one thing get a case And get a cow charger and that’s it. Don’t expect it to do everything.
So they added a useless button that most phone camera users won't even use because it's too combersome... but they won't add a power button fingerprint reader which would still fit in with apple's ecosystem and still allow for nice high quality tempered glass screen protectors. they require you to click the power button to confirm with FaceID a lot of the time, so it would literally be a seamless transition, as well as adding another factor in security if the user wants both to be required for purchases as an example. apple's double standards on technological improvement never fail to baffle me.
I disagree with you on Magsafe. Maybe it was a problem for cases when it was first introduced - I'm not sure on that. But now, you can find plenty of cheap cases that are Magsafe compatible. It really doesn't add much cost for the customer. When I first got access to Magsafe last year (after upgrading to a 15 Pro from an SE), I was looking at slightly higher end cases. (Nothing ridiculous, but I ended up going for a $60 Mous case, to give you an idea of the price range I was looking at.) I wanted something protective, made well, and that fit my style. And pretty much any case in that range included Magsafe support. I think the camera button is a bit harder to elegantly work around. But I'm sure the case manufacturers will figure something out over time. Apple didn't just "not consider cases" when adding that button in. They obviously made their own cases that accommodate it. It's just not Apple's job to worry about third-party case manufacturers. The case manufacturers are the ones that have to design their products around the phone. Not the other way around.
it's been about 5 years since i last put a case on my iphone. i really just don't find myself needing one with how durable the new iphones are these days. for me, the only protection i find myself even considering is a screen protector but even those feel obsolete for me as i really am not bothered by a few scuffs on the display across my phones 3-5 year lifetime. as i said previously, ive been caseless for 5 years, 3 of which were my previous iphone 12 pro which never once needed service and even with heavy scuffing by the time i traded it in, received full value from apple. my new phone, a 15 pro, was dropped once early on but apple care meant a screen replacement cost the same at a screen protector would have and ive been accident free since. i get a lot of looks running a caseless phone but honestly its been really uneventful and i have stopped thinking about it altogether.
Did you write all this?? Borderline chatgpt ai quality 👍 There were some super valid points that lowkey blew my mind. Like if we’re just gonna put a case on, why isn’t there just a super durable/cheaper option available? And boxing out their customers with high priced cases by not giving 3rd parties a decent start? Legit next level takes right there 🤯
Not a knock on his video at all. But it’s not apples job to help third party manufacturers. They aren’t stopping them from implementing things like MagSafe at all.
I like the quality of these videos but some parts remind me of that news clip about "10 people died in the Bronx last night" and just feels really repetitive as if you're trying to reach a word count
I never understand how people buy a 1000€+ phone just to slab a 10€ case on it. Makes the phone feel cheap and completely destroys the aesthetics. Therefore, caseless is the way to go!
Just to explain, adding a case will almost always worsen the phone experience, as it changes the phone's intended feel and grip. However, you increase the survivability as the case absorbs the impacts of any drops or hits.
@Tahn0 I was purposely exaggerating lmao. But buying cheap cases while spending hundreds of euros is just stupid greed. Not only the more "expensive" ones are more reliable in their function (protection) but also help with the specific phone functionalities like in the video mentioned. Meanwhile, going caseless is of course a highly subjective decision. I just love the feeling of the phone then and never in my life did I have a cracked display. Exceptions for using a case are situations like a festival, etc. but that is only 10 % of the time. Also, in my opinion, the awareness you have while using a phone without a case is better at protecting your phone than a shit case.
Seems like a case manufacturer problem rather than Apple's fault. Third party case manufacturers are not testing their cases before putting them out and cutting corners. The case manufacturers could do some testing and put more care into their designs, but they don't. What do you expect when you buy a case from a brand like "bneruaighersug" or whatever mashing your keyboard gets you?
Exactly. I am not judging anyone for buying a cheap case(I’m currently using one myself that only cost $5 at Walmart). But buying a cheap case often results in getting a cheaply/lazily implemented features, but this is true of most markets in general. Cheap means that some cost had to be cut.
Magbak makes a really nice case that sticks to fridges and the camera button cutout isnt flaccid and comes with protective corner bumpers. No they dont pay my ass but man the case is nice. I payed 50 bucks tho which isnt nice.
I have a samsung z fold 5, and like 99% of the cases for my phone are completely worthless trash. cases *need* adhesive to properly affix to the phone, but many of the cheaper cases don't come with it, and it's a 50/50 chance it'll actually come with it. not to mention the screen protectors have squared off edges on one side meanwhile the cases expect you to use rounded off edges, and the product pages don't tell you if it's case compatible or they lie about functionality. since phones are fairly strong these days, I'm just sticking to skins. at the very least a nice skin will keep most functionality and allow me to personalize a little bit, even though I'll probably end up getting a clear skin so I can show off my phone while also not scratching it up like mad from actually using this $1800 hunka junk
Dont like the constant finger movements.. It's unnatural and distracting. Also the script feels like it was extended to meet a quota or something. Points are being repeated, same footage is being used, it gets repetitive and discourages the viewer from continuing. Hope you take the criticism in a positive way and improve
I'm sorry, but what's this video about? You act like Apple isn't doing this on purpose. Which is like?? Obvious. Also why would anyone dare to feel offended by a 50€ price tag for a case when you are already buying a 1000+€ phone?? You bought into this shit like😂😂😂 can't have your cake and eat it too.
its so apple then can sell you APPLE CASE the new product that works perfectly with that button and it will only cost: "say it with me" 200€ (like everything cost at apple, 8 more ram a holder for your monitor or rolls for your mac) xD
you buy a 1000+usd phone and you cant afford 50usd case or wanna cheap out on a case? if you wanna be cheap just get a used 100usd phone.if you drop it and it broke the repair is cheap or yo just buy another cheap mobile.
Seems like the case manufacturers just need a metal button backed by a conductive rubber (similar to the tip on cheap touch styluses) although apple would still probably need to make a change to the sensitivity to make that work well
