I hate people who do the dummy design phones, when it's just what the cameras and back will be like
And I thought I was unlikable -- Something about the YouTuber linked to rubs me the wrong way. He better learn or else - or else, I go on strike.
Hardly surprising, if that's true. As people hold on to their phones longer, there really isn't much of an incentive for Apple to keep redesigning the form factor of their devices ever so often. The iPhone X form factor was around for 3 years (X, Xs, 11), and it's likely Apple will do the same for the iPhone 12 form factor (if not longer).
What I would like to see is higher slow motion frame rate. iPhone has been stuck at 240fps since the iPhone 6 (720p) and was bumped to 1080p in the iPhone 8, but still 240fps max.
Most of the higher end competition allow for 720p/480fps, some higher but with limitations on recording time.
Well the thing is, what other form factors will they choose from? Back to the 3G, 3GS form factor? There aren't really many choices these days. Maybe curved sides and a flat top.
Agree. And that video was unnecessarily long, I kept thinking “shut up and show/review the device”. Easily a 4 minute video and he stretched it into almost 12…
Yeah…..No.
I’m not going to watch Lou on Unboxed therapy. He’s insufferable. And I get what Macrumors is trying to do here, by showing a ‘demo’ phone, but all this does is plug more views into his channel.

This would be really nice for sure, but I suspect it's a bandwidth bottleneck somewhere that's a limiting factor. If the 14's camera can do 8K30, it would technically be the same bandwidth needs as 4K120..
Even if we could get 4K120, or 1440p240 with Dolby Vision, that would be a major quality improvement over what we have now (1080p240 SDR).
Petty pedantic post incoming.
Pills come in all kinds of shapes. I take a pill every day, but it’s circular. So when I read the holes on the front of various iPhone 14 models will be ‘one pill-shaped and one circular’ I have to wonder if there isn’t a better term for the non-circular shape, such as stadium.

Even better (or at least funnier IMHO) perhaps, from that page is sausage body.

So this person unboxed and showed off a device that doesn't exist yet? I guess the channel has the right name because it sounds like this person needs therapy.
Just a reminder that Unbox Therapy do paid reviews (positive) but don't state their reviews are paid reviews.
The dummy model is interesting, I admit. Seen a lot of his videos with Apple stuff and many other devices, the guy doesn't bug me that much.
I just envy his darn warehouse looking basement "Bat cave!" ?,I would love a room like this in my house...heck off site somewhere to chill, but I don't see that happening unless I win Powerball.

Around the same time last year. This video looks familiar.
I really like MKBHD, Dave2D, a few of the Linus Media Group channels (so LTT, Mac Address, etc), UrAvgConsumer, and JerryRigEverything. Basically channels producing high-quality and varied content. Jonathan Morrison was a good one too, but I feel he went in a different direction with music creation and whatnot (still a great content creator, just not in areas I'm interested in).
Unbox Therapy isn't a producer of high-quality content in my opinion. Clickbaity, dishonest, and it just felt like every video for a while was just trying to repeat the success of the iPhone 6 "bendgate" video.
That may have been historically true, however content creators are required to flag / disclose paid-for reviews or sponsorships as per the YouTube T&Cs. This was a huge thing a few years ago, and for the better.
We've always had the ability to choose the video quality we record at. I still wont record in 4k. 1080p works just fine for me.
