不是最新 但應該是最平凡人的 iPhone Duo 開箱｜志祺日常 – Transcript

00:00Hi, hello everyone, I'm Jeege, welcome back to my life practice. Today, we're going to unbox the iPhone 12. In this episode, I'll take a look at a few questions I'm most curious about regarding the iPhone, from the perspective of someone who has used three foldable phones and an iPhone Pro Max. For example, whether the typing keyboard takes up too much of the interface, if the app UI gets distorted and becomes unusable, or how the experience is for reading spreadsheets and doing paperwork. You probably won't hear a lot of technical specifications. I'm sharing this

00:27as a user who cares about visual experience and the balance between life and productivity. Alright. First, let's take a look at the packaging. It's basically identical, so let's just tear it open from the back. Unboxing, unboxing.

00:44Don't you think it's been a while since there's been a truly new iPhone that gives you that sense of excitement? Yes, yes, it feels brand new, it's quite fun. Alright, and I chose the white one this time. This time, it just comes with a simple USB-C cable inside, along with the manual and related items. Everything is made of paper, so it's all recyclable. Everyone should support this and remember to recycle it properly. Okay, now let's go ahead and tear it open.

01:13Wow, the white really is beautiful. Recently, I've rarely switched back to silver or white. I used to get everything in black, but after using this, I realized white is actually quite nice. It has more of that apple feel. The screen here is the nano-texture glass. When you touch it, hey.

01:29It feels very matte. It looks very matte, but it actually doesn't feel like that when you touch it. You look way too excited right now. It's so annoying. Yeah, it's rare to get it on the first day. I'm really happy. So cute. Okay, let's fold it. It fits together perfectly.

01:46Yeah, I saw some reviews saying it's very heavy, but I don't think it's that heavy. Here, hold it. It seems heavier than your phone. It's only 5 grams difference. So since I'm used to the iPhone Pro Max, I don't feel like it's heavy at all. Do you think it's heavy? My phone is already quite heavy, so I don't feel it's particularly heavy. Right, I don't feel it either. In fact, I think yours feels heavier. I don't even notice the 5-gram weight difference.

02:07There's no difference at all. Yeah, there's no difference at all when I open it. I think it's really faint. It doesn't feel indented to the touch. It feels very shallow. Wow, that's so satisfying. Huh? There's really truly nothing there. It's almost like there's no sensation of it at all. A once in a decade sight. Oh, I'm actually really happy that Touch ID is back.

02:26I'm someone who loves Touch ID so much, so I'm incredibly happy it's finally returned. I think while it's syncing, we can actually take a look at a few other things. Basically, when you set it down, it can't lay completely flat, and the angle on this side is slightly larger. And I feel that compared to other foldable phones, the rounded corners on the iPhone are actually quite noticeable, so you can feel the asymmetry, but it seems okay for now. I think while we're in the process of setting it up,

02:53I can share with you what you can prepare in advance to make your transfer much faster. The first important thing is a Thunderbolt USB-C cable, which can compress your transfer time to about 30 minutes. If you use the charging cable included with the iPhone or Wi-Fi, it will probably take you up to three hours, so be sure to have one ready. Also, you'll need your Apple ID password. Some people, for example me, used a different Apple ID in college than the one I used after I started working.

03:19So I suggest everyone have your account password written down before starting. We usually use Touch ID or Face ID to log in and might forget our passwords, and you'll get stuck right there. Alright, it's done transferring, so let's start using it right away. I think the first thing everyone will focus on is this crease in the middle. From what I can see now, as I toggle between dark and light modes, I'd say you can barely see a faint crease when it's dark,

03:45but when it's bright, you really can't see or feel it. It's genuinely smooth to the touch, which I think is quite impressive. Alright, so first off, I want to test its typing functionality. Because standard foldable phones have smaller screens that are a bit narrower, it's very easy to press the wrong keys, and since it's quite narrow, you'll find it difficult to type comfortably. Apple is a company that emphasizes user

04:11experience, so I want to see how they've adjusted the aspect I've always struggled with. I watched so many ads and YouTuber reviews, and none of them showed the typing screen, which made me really curious about what the typing experience is like, why keep it hidden. Let's take a look at the typing experience.

04:30It actually seems fine. Before, you would accidentally hit other keys. Exactly, that happens very easily on other brands. Next, let's see what it's like typing this way. I'm even more curious about this. It can split the keyboard, and the split keyboard might be pretty good. Yes, it works.

04:47Some people say typing becomes very slow with the split keyboard. Yes, it's a little bit slower. You have to think about it. What if it's the standard layout? But it's hard to type this way, you can't work for long periods. What about holding it vertically? Let's see, holding it vertically might be better.

05:05It's actually very easy to type this way. Oh, typing like this is excellent. Since you won't touch the edges here, you can type quite a bit, and you still have plenty of screen space, so it's totally fine to type while browsing social media. To some extent, when you hold this, you naturally use two hands, so compared to when we use an iPhone Pro Max, where we have to hold it like this and type with one hand, you might find this more comfortable.

05:29Two hands. Yes, so the actual experience of holding it definitely doesn't feel heavier. That's one of the biggest impressions I've had so far. Can you use it with one hand? No, you can't type with one hand on this, I can't reach across. It's okay, I guess, but the top part gets a bit obscured, making it hard to press, so the best way to type is definitely unfolding it like this.

05:53Next, I want to check the UI of our major apps, because the inner screen aspect ratio of foldable phones is very different. Based on my past experience, I know that many, many apps have issues with aspect ratios. The thing that left the deepest impression on me is that if you open a foldable phone and use it horizontally, opening Instagram used to be a total disaster.

06:13The whole screen would just show one photo, and you couldn't even see the like button or anything below it. It was completely unusable. You're forced to use it vertically, even though you bought a foldable phone specifically for this screen. The daily experience with all the apps was terrible, it was just awful.

06:30Next, I think we can actually test different apps. First, let's try Instagram. On the small screen, since its interface shifts to the side, you can actually see who posted it, the photo, the like button below, and a simple caption. I think we can compare it here.

06:48If I open it here and drag it over, it lets you see the next post immediately, so you'll want to scroll more. Maybe this thing can actually help you scroll Instagram more. What kind of conclusion is that? You see the range is smaller, now let's open it up and see. Right now, everything is centered, which isn't great, but I believe they will eventually change it.

07:08Let me see how it looks vertically. This is okay. I think vertical is still a bit better than horizontal. So, maybe just like typing earlier, we should get used to keeping it like this, and only flip it when we need to watch videos. Oh, next, let's look at threads, which everyone loves.

07:25I don't think there's a big impact. The text is just a little bit smaller. What about typing on threads? Typing on threads, huh? Hey, I see Jasmine. Oh, I have it too, it works. It's alright, yeah, I think it's fine. It's no problem at all if you just want to reply to some things.

07:43Now let's see how it looks when we open it up. It still has a lot of blank space. It basically doesn't fully utilize the screen, and the font size is still quite small. Maybe they'll adjust it later to see how they can make it better. And similarly, let's rotate it and use it this way.

08:00The experience is better again because you can see more content. When it comes to social media, your priority seems to be whether you can see more content, and whether the text becomes slightly larger. It's not that it's unusable in landscape mode, it just doesn't take full advantage of its strengths. Its UI bar is actually docked to the right, unlike other foldable phones have used before where the UI bar was at the bottom, which was honestly quite bulky.

08:24All right, finally I want to check out YouTube, since it's our main page. The standard experience seems okay. You can see about four shorts and one, two, two and a half videos like this. I just noticed that when I want to adjust the volume, I accidentally touch this area and end up closing it.

08:40There are sometimes some limitations when it comes to muscle memory usage. Ah, on the volume interface. Yes, if you want to do it this way, you have to press it like this, you can't really say it's Very intuitive. Right, can't really say it's very intuitive. Let's see if it's really any different when opened up.

08:57As you can see, the video takes up about 60%, and you can still keep scrolling here, but it doesn't look all that great. Let's open it to full screen. In full screen, a typical YouTube video has two small black bars at the top and bottom. Can this be made larger? Oh, it can adjust the aspect ratio to fit the screen.

09:13Ah, nice. It fills it up. That's pretty satisfying. This will affect how we edit in the future. We might need to keep things more centered, like text cards and such. Also, we heard that line currently displays in a very strange aspect ratio, which is exactly the same issue I encountered before.

09:30I can only say that Apple has requirements on when to get things done, and I think this is a good point in time. Because everyone needs to realize that when you switch to a foldable phone, you're not just adding one UI interface. Because there's this, and this, and this, and this, plus having them split, there are so many different interfaces that need to be redesigned.

09:50In the past, you could only rely on manual labor, which was very painful, so manufacturers ultimately wouldn't do it. It just so happens that we have AI now, and AI is here to help accelerate this process significantly. Looking forward to it. No, but if you ask me when the best time is to buy a folding iPhone, my past experience tells me it usually takes three generations.
