so when you're using it obviously you're
jumping from Android to iOS which do you
prefer the truth is
um
a car mentioned in a brainstorm the
other day that he'd be up for reviewing
Tech products like a techtuber
so that would be an interesting and a
different perspective so I've just
bought an iPhone 14 should we go see
what he's saying
it's Google hello bro I got you a gift
do we pay for this
called previously you said you wanted to
review products online you still don't
have to do that
I mean I mentioned at the passing but
why not should we just do an unboxing
now you get the first impression I think
I need to use it for a couple of days so
why don't I take it over the weekend and
we can shoot uh review in a week or so
yeah sounds good bro let me get your mic
from you and we have to pay for it we
won't pay for it don't worry
hello what an iPhone 14 I was just
wondering what the returns policy was
I'm
[Music]
we're from a competitive company we're
actually from Samsung and we just wanted
to shoot some content with the iPhone
and then give it back would that be
totally fine
uh Carl it's been a few days how's the
phone treating you man no it's been good
I um I've been carrying it with me every
single day not as my primary but as a
secondary and you know I've been an
Apple fan for the longest time how do
you want to kick it off what would you
like to talk about first I guess first
off is always the design you know that's
the thing you see first I've had a lot
of friends tell me that this is the
first generation iPhone that they just
didn't buy I guess the main difference
is the dynamic Notch really smart design
but I think it might have been a bit
overhyped because after using it for
some time it's cool but it's
it's not changing the way you interact
with it with a phone a few people have
said headphone one is looking like the
iPhone how do you feel about that I get
really annoyed reading those comments
online I mean I know where they're
coming from you know if you're talking
about the buttons I think I'll be okay
with that because they do look quite
similar and I
remember uh
asking our industrial design team why it
has to be this similar and I I lost that
argument but you know now
I think I can win the next argument
because a lot of users are commenting on
that speaker Grill is not that similar
the front of a phone is just screen
these days so there's not much you can
do on the front I think the back looks
really different and if you're talking
about the kind of rectangular boxy shape
it's the most space efficient way to
build a phone so no circular phones
coming up
no circular phones how much are you
paying for this one you got 1300 pounds
1100 pounds something like that you
could I think you can pick this up for
350 at Black Friday or was it 399 it
starts at 399 399 I think it was 50 Quid
off somewhere anyway but you know
but realistically
you know you're talking about two
completely different Price sets do you
know what I mean it's difficult to
compare I suppose at this price point of
the phone one at about 400 pounds you'll
be hard pressed to find a better kind of
full package but if you want the best I
think especially in terms of camera uh
14 pro is my recommendation So speaking
about price you know what do you think
it's taken to to build something like
this versus the cost it is to build
something that Apple's building and
there was a really good bill of
materials analysis on the iPhone 14 pro
Max and which packed the the bomb at
about 501 USD what's the bomb sorry bill
of materials how much each material
costs and you add them all together
right okay got you so this one is a bit
smaller than the pro Max I'm guessing
this one costs about 465 to build it
retails at starting 999 so their margin
is over 50 the phone one costs about 360
to build so a bit cheaper than the apple
apple has a scale Advantage because of
how big they are each component costs a
little bit less okay so the build of
materials is about 360 we sell it about
400 450 USD so our profit margin is uh
if you remove all the kind of shipping
Logistics and giving some of that margin
to channel Partners like carriers or
Amazon or whatnot our margin is zero and
it's okay it's a we're a startup company
it's kind of our entry into the market
it's our we see this more like uh buying
a ticket to a show we bought a ticket to
this industry and after we launched this
product you know now we've shipped half
a million of these and now the suppliers
are budging we're getting better and
better pricing so for our future
products our margins will also start
growing so that's that's analysis of the
of the cost so
50 margin
zero percent margin
when we talk about price range this is
Flagship yeah um this is not Flagship is
there any plans in the future for a
flagship uh
uh that's how can I answer this question
uh it's uh it's a maybe maybe
okay cool so you've been using it all
weekend uh has it been failing in terms
of like you know speed functionality and
things like this nowadays all the
smartphones are pretty good you're not
going to find a smartphone that cannot
do what you wanted to do and 120 hertz
displays are quite common these days so
everything is super smooth as you would
expect I'm not a heavy user I play some
League of Legends while Rift sometimes
but I think that works well on a nothing
phone as well despite the nothing film
processor being much weaker than the 14
pro yeah no surprises works well cow
camera let's do cameraman yeah cameras I
uh I took the cameras for a spin took
some
photos and normal light condition but
also like really challenging dark dark
condition at the end of the day beyond
all the specs and the features what's
really important for a smartphone user
is to be able to rely on the camera
I don't need to know the megapixel the
aperture the all that stuff I just need
to know that whenever I want to take a
photo I'm confident that it's going to
be a good photo so I didn't do any
reshoots I just took some photos my
conclusion is that
the iPhone 14 pro has one of the best
camera systems out of any smartphone on
the market today on the other hand uh I
think that nothing from one is also
really capable so there's some stylistic
differences like we tuned the colors in
a way that's slightly different but
that's it's more qualitative you can't
really say which kind of tuning profile
is better but I think the film one is
super capable also and probably the best
camera in this price class of
smartphones so when you're using it
obviously you're jumping from Android to
iOS which do you prefer the truth is
um
I used to love iOS I used to think iOS
was way better than Android I don't
really like iOS 16.
um maybe because I'm getting old but
I feel like apple design was very tight
both in terms of hardware and software
doesn't feel as as good looking as
before and maybe to show show my age
even more like I actually the my
favorite iOS design was
before the the flat design you know I
think it was iOS 7 where they just
changed the design to this kind of flat
design and before that it was
skeuromorphic like the notes app looked
like a notepad and you could just flip
the pages on iBooks like a book I found
that interaction really delightful not a
super huge fan of all the digital stuff
that we have now yeah I don't know maybe
we can bring skiromorphism back
[Music]
come in
so call frame one iPhone 14 pro uh what
you pick him in
I think if you want the one of the best
high-end smartphones on the market today
that is the iPhone 14 pro I'm a fan
great cameras great performance
um iPhones are always kind of pricey
before um when I had to buy iPhones I
kind of always cringed when I paid for
it I'm like it's cost so much but I'll
buy it you might want to wait for iPhone
15 because there's not a ton of changes
in 14 pro mainly just a bit better
camera on the other hand if you're
looking for something more interesting
something where you're a little bit
different from everybody else you try
something new and if you want to support
a small team that's trying to do
something really ambitious consider the
nothing from one it's also at less than
half the the price of the iPhone so that
makes it a little bit easier Carl thanks
for giving us such an honest review man
I think you gave us uh I didn't expect
you to actually be quite that really
gotta keep it real
thank you for taking the time man uh you
know spending the weekend with the
competitive product must have been a bit
weird so yeah I'll let you get back to
work but thanks for taking the time all
right thank you and see you next time
I ever get tackled to the ground
hello bro I'm trying to return my iPhone
yes
okay amazing there's nothing wrong with
it it's just you know what it is I
compared it to the one from last year
it's just too similar
you're not gonna upgrade
thank you so much bro cheers
too honest man
