My Last Vector
March 30, 2020 14:43 - 2 minutes - 2.46 MB68 thousand subscribers. 34 million views. 370 videos. All since launching this channel back in 2018. And I couldn’t have done any of it without you. All of you. Which is why I’m both terrified and excited as hell to tell you… This… is my very last Vector. Ok, hear me out: A few weeks ago, well before what’s happening now started happening, I made the decision to leave iMore, the website I’ve been working at for over a decade, and Future PLC, the company that owns it and the Vector channel, ...

iPad Pro 2020 Review
March 24, 2020 19:54 - 15 minutes - 14.8 MBBack in 2018, Apple didn’t just do what they’ve usually done with new iPads — make them thinner, lighter, and faster. Well, yes, of course they did, but they also did something more. They made them modern, with smaller bezels, Face ID, and a new, magnetic, capacitive Apple Pencil. Like with the iPhone X, it was a once-in-a-decade revolution. So, now, some 18 months later, we’re back to evolution — a wider processor, a second, wider camera, an intriguing new LiDAR scanner, and, coming this ...
MacBook Air (2020) Review
March 23, 2020 14:54 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBThe MacBook Air, Apple’s most popular Mac, is fully, finally back. And I don’t say that lightly. In October of 2018, Apple brought the Air out of hibernation and gave it a modern makeover. Mostly.It got the updated design, high density, Retina display, and USB-C interface that made the 12-inch MacBook, its once-and-former-successor, so compelling. But, it also inherited the butterfly keyboard, which was meant to be thinner and more stable, but ultimately proved to be divisive and unrelia...
NEW iPad Pro & MacBook Air Are Here!
March 18, 2020 22:16 - 9 minutes - 8.78 MBApple has cried HAVOK and let slip the devices of March.

Major iOS 14 Leak Analysis
March 14, 2020 17:16 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBSo, here’s what seems to have happened: An internal build of iOS 14, which previous reports have pegged as “Azul”, the Spanish or Portuguese word for “blue”, got leaked. Now, this has happened before. Sometimes they were accidentally left and found on the public web, sometimes someone didn’t get what they want or were upset with someone in their reporting chain, so they had a little tantrum and leaked it, and sometimes someone just wants to see the world, and their team’s work, burn.

How Apple Can Save WWDC 2020 from (Coronavirus / COVID-19)
March 11, 2020 16:41 - 12 minutes - 12.2 MBGDC, the game developer’s conference, is canceled. Facebook’s F8 conference is canceled. Geneva Auto Show, canceled. South-by-south west, canceled. Several U.S. states have declared emergencies. Italy is on lockdown. Santa Clara County, Silicon Valley, has effectively issued a short-term ban on events. Now, Apple doesn’t typically pre-announce anything. Not products. Not events. But, that Apple will hold a worldwide developers conference — WWDC — the first week of June each year, every yea...
How Much Will iPhone 12 Cost?
March 09, 2020 15:26 - 12 minutes - 12 MBRumor has it, Apple will be releasing not three new iPhones like last year, not even four new iPhones, but a whopping 5 new iPhones in 2020. Sure, it’s nothing compared to the 879 new phones Samsung will likely release this year, but for Apple, it’s a lot. Like… a lot a lot. So, why?

The iPhone 5G
March 03, 2020 16:08 - 9 minutes - 9.03 MBLate last year, after a bunch of petulant pundit hot takes about how the iPhone 11 would be doomed, so very doomed because it didn’t have 5G, I did my best to calmly, rationally explain why those first-generation modems were too hot and power hungry, the networks so few and far between, and the capacity nowhere nearly at mainstream iPhone scale yet. And… the iPhone 11 somehow managed to not only survive without a lick of 5G, but thrive. As in a best-selling. So, yeah, told you so, whatever...
The Mac ARM
February 28, 2020 19:31 - 8 minutes - 7.88 MBSpeculation about Apple transitioning some or all of its Mac computer lineup from Intel to Arm is running hot and heavy again following an off-hand rumor by supply chain exfiltrator extraordinaire, Kuo Ming-Chi earlier this week. I’ve already done a whole video on how Steve Jobs’ famous keynote announcing the previous PowerPC to Intel transition could be replayed almost note by note for an Intel to ARM transition.

The iPhone Flip
February 27, 2020 17:07 - 10 minutes - 10.5 MBThe Samsung Galaxy Flip is the original iPhone of foldables. That’s what some people have been saying and… ah… I mean I get it. Well, first, no, it totally isn’t. But I get it. I get the allure of of flipping phones. I’ve done umpteen videos about them. Hit subscribe and you can see all of them. They’re new. They're fun. They’re different. At least so far, because there are only a few of them out right now. In a few years, I expect there won’t just be many but generations of many, so they ...
How Apple Can Save the HomePod in 2020
February 25, 2020 16:18 - 10 minutes - 10.2 MBSeven years ago or so, when Apple first started working on the HomePod, they just wanted to make a great sounding speaker that you could drop anywhere in a room and that would sound great no matter where you dropped it or where you were standing to listen to it. They were investing heavily into building up their audio engineering team and delving deeply into the concepts around computational audio. Hardware and software tightly integrated together. Apple’s forte. So what could possibly go ...
iPhone 'CarKeys' Are Coming!
February 23, 2020 21:32 - 8 minutes - 8.18 MBEarlier this month, 9to5Mac found code in the iOS 13.4 beta for a CarKey API, or application programming interface. CarKey seems to be a system that will allow your iPhone or Apple Watch to lock, unlock, even start your car… if your car has NFC and the manufacturer partners with Apple to make it all just work. And… it sounds great. Terrific even. But it also still sounds so limited compared to the Apple Watch future I’ve been dreaming about for over half a decade. Why? Let's get into it!...
Apple Issues Quarterly Guidance Update for Investors
February 19, 2020 20:07 - 19 minutes - 18.6 MBWhy Apple is DOOMED. Finally. Again*. *Earlier this week, Apple released and investor update on quarterly guidance for Q2, 2020. In other words, the revenue and other financial projections they’d given last quarter to set expectations for this quarter. Apple is getting out ahead here, one of the first first major American companies to do so. They won’t be the last.

Where is the iPhone Flip?
February 17, 2020 01:12 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MBA year ago, I made a video about how foldable devices were the future. Or at least a big part of it. After all, the history of human technology was the history of foldables. From books to wallets, we humans just love to fold everything, including our clothes and our food. I even mocked up folding iPhone concepts in Photoshop that look a lot like what the Modern Moto Razr and just-announced Samsung Flip turned out to look like. And, now, because those phones are coming out, people are won...

Apple Watch OS 7 — What Comes Next (Wishlist)
February 12, 2020 16:26 - 8 minutes - 7.91 MBI’ve done a bunch of videos now saying why I think the Apple Watch is the most important device Apple has ever made, the most important consumer electronics device ever made, and basically the gadget of the last damn decade. Because it saves lives by design. A lot of the credit for that goes to watchOS — the software that drives the watch hardware. It’s what’s given us those life saving features like heart rate notifications, fall detection, and the ECG app. And, while the current watchO...
Galaxy S20 vs. iPhone 11 — From the Android Expert!

Why the iPhone Killed BlackBerry
February 06, 2020 15:25 - 14 minutes - 14 MBBlackBerry, the real Canadian atoms and bits BlackBerry, died years ago. This week, the Chinese bits and American atoms that briefly reanimated it finally gave up the ghost as well. As a Canadian, I was heartbroken then and still am now. Instead of a wake, instead of pouring one out, though, I want to take this opportunity to look back at what happened to the once industry leader, the titan, and more importantly — why. Apple found unprecedented mainstream success with the iPod. 1000 song...
Apple AirPods 'Studio Pro' Rumor Analysis

In 2019, 2nd generation AirPods and, right at the end of the year, the in-ear AirPods Pro. Now, rumor has it, we may just be getting truly wireless over-the-ear headphones from Apple.

Apple March Event 2020 Preview: iPhone 9, iPad Pro, AirTags, Watch, and more!
February 03, 2020 21:54 - 9 minutes - 9.2 MBApple doesn’t always hold March events. But when it does… 2015 brought us ResearchKit, the 12-inch MacBook, and the launch of the Apple Watch. 2016 was CareKit, the iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro 2018 was an updated entry-level iPad, Everyone Can Code, and a series Education-centric announcements. 2019 was Apple News+, Apple Card, Apple Arcade, and Apple TV+, with new iPads Air and mini, and AirPods 2 moved into separate announcements to keep it all about the services. This year, given al...

WRONG About iPhone 11
January 30, 2020 17:07 - 9 minutes - 9.55 MBThe iPhone 11 is going to be so boring. So iterative. A real yawner. A let down. You don’t need it. Totally. Completely. Must skip. Facepalm emoji dash thumbnail. That was not an uncommon narrative last year when iPhone 11 rumors started making the rounds. Hell, even once it was announced. Now, just four months later, Apple has released its first quarter, 2020 financial results and, well… OK Doomers. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/vector and get 20% off their annual Premium ...
iPhone Multi-Cam Recording — FiLMiC DoubleTake is here!
January 28, 2020 15:38 - 6 minutes - 6.34 MBBack in September, Apple invited FiLMiC up on the big iPhone 11 event stage to show off something pretty damn incredible: multi-cam video capture.

Something that had to be better as browsing, email, photos, video, music, gaming, and eBooks. Something that had to be… the iPad. And this is its history and secret origin.

I can watch 4K almost everything else, from iTunes to Netflix to Disney+ to Vimeo, just not YouTube. And I can watch 4K YouTube on almost everything else, from Roku to Amazon to ChromeCast, just not my Apple stuff. So, why, and more importantly, when’s it all just going to be fixed?

Cinematic Color Grading RAW in Final Cut Pro X
January 20, 2020 16:30 - 9 minutes - 9.03 MBLate last year, I upgraded the main camera I use for filming these videos to the Canon C200. A cinema camera, which means one built specifically for shooting video. Not a still camera that also shoots video. There were a bunch of reasons for this, which I can get into in another video if you’re interested, but the biggest for me was the ability to run XLR mics straight into the camera instead of having to use intermediary interfaces and recorders, and the ability to get a picture that look...
iPadOS 14 — What Comes Next [Wishlist]
January 17, 2020 16:13 - 9 minutes - 9.48 MBThis time last year we had new, incredibly powerful iPad Pro hardware, but what we didn’t have was the iOS software to truly unlock all of its potential. iOS 12 had been, in large part, a performance and stability release, and I loved that. Loved it so much I’m going to repeat the need to repeat it every year basically ad nauseam Infinitum until it happens. But, we were missing things. Especially things that would let the iPad be the iPad. I’d been asking for an iPadOS for like 5 years. ...
Why They're WRONG About iPhone 9
January 15, 2020 20:50 - 7 minutes - 7.23 MBRecently, there have been a few more spoilers around Apple’s next less expensive iPhone. What’s previously been referred to as the iPhone SE 2 or, more recently, the iPhone 9. And… even though I’ve already done a whole video explaining what I think it’ll be and why, there still seems to be some confusion out there around both of those things. So, I’m going to try again… but different. Instead of rehashing the rumors, I’m going to go through what I think the actual announcements will be. ...
iOS 14 Major Changes for the Future of iPhone [Wishlist]
January 14, 2020 22:09 - 12 minutes - 12 MBThis time last year, we were coming off one of the biggest performance and stability releases in Apple’s history with iOS 12. It was so stable and performant, the betas felt better than some previous shipping versions. But, hardware like the iPhone XS and especially the iPad Pro made it clear Apple needed to amp up the functionally and fill in many of the still-missing features. Enter iOS 13 and its offshoot, iPadOS 13, which brought a ton of exactly that functionality and those feature ...
FBI vs. Apple — The Privacy Fight
January 11, 2020 17:39 - 10 minutes - 9.85 MBLaw enforcement agencies across the globe make requests for data from Apple and other tech companies all the time. So “all the time”, there are processes in place to handle them. They are… routine. But, every once in awhile, specific cases still show up in the papers. They’re the most sensational, horrible, heart-breaking, flag-waving cases, and the papers lap them up, few questions asked, and the people who then read the stories get all riled up. Which is, I think, is the entire point o...
Ultimate iPhone Camera Concept
January 10, 2020 13:52 - 9 minutes - 9.08 MBLast year, I asked for three main things when it came to iPhone 11 photography: An ultra-wide camera, a Night Mode, and Portrait Video. And, yeah, to fix the weird skin tones and textures in Smart HDR. We didn’t get Portrait Video but 3 out of 4 wasn’t just not bad, it was enough to convince all the doomsayers, boreds now, and must-skippers out there that the iPhone 11 and its cameras were far closer to must have. You know, something anyone watching this channel had known long before the...

iPad Pro (2020) Rumor Analysis
December 30, 2019 14:21 - 6 minutes - 6.78 MBBack in October of 2018, Apple introduced a totally new, totally redesigned iPad Pro. It deleted a lot of the bezels, making the 12.9-inch model smaller and letting the 10.5-inch model expand to 11-inches. They lost the headphone jack, which sucked, but also swapped out Lightning for USB-C, which was terrific. And they topped it all off with the monstrous A12X processor, which pretty much made any machine with an Intel Core M just break down and cry. But, that was then, this is now. Appl...

December 27, 2019 15:03 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBBoth Apple and Disney announced new streaming video services this year and they couldn’t have been more different. Apple promised a few old favorites, like Peanuts and Oprah, but mostly all-new originals with huge names like Jennifer Aniston and Jason Mamoa attached, budgets the would take us into the future and, through alternate timelines, the moon again, and with some astronomical, aspirations attached, because there was absolutely no catalog content to fall back on.

iPhone Fold, Pro mini, iBook, iPad Studio, HomeBar, TV Stick: Where Are Apple's Missing Devices?
December 26, 2019 15:54 - 10 minutes - 9.96 MBOver the last 18-months we’ve gotten new iPads Pro, new iPhones Pro, and new Apple Watches with always-on displays. By any metric, this is Apple’s best lineup of product ever. But, as slam dunk as some of these products are — they’re still not all the products. Even now, at the end of the decade, there are still some pretty big gaps across the iPhone, iPad, iPod — yeah, I said it — HomePod, Apple Watch, and Apple TV lineups. So, since I covered the missing Macs in one of last week’s vide...
Apple Watch — Which One Should You Buy?
December 24, 2019 16:24 - 7 minutes - 7.6 MBThe Apple Watch is different. There’s no Air version or Pro version. No mini and no Max. Not really. You don’t spec one based on storage size or memory size, number of cameras or cores. There are simply two display sizes, small and large, and a variety of different materials, from aluminum to ceramic, steel to titanium. And, if an Apple Watch Series 5 is just too much for you, there’s an Apple Watch Series 3 to get you started. So, you choose your size, you choose your material, and then y...
Why MacBook Pro Beats Mac Pro (for me) — One Month Later Review
December 23, 2019 17:23 - 6 minutes - 6.51 MBI’ve been using the 16-inch MacBook Pro since Apple announced them roughly one month ago this week. In that time, I’ve also significantly updated how I make these videos. Not only have I re-arranged that wall behind me so I have more room to store all the gear I’ve gone back to, but I’ve upgraded the lighting as well, so it’s more balanced and flexible. I switched from the Panasonic GH-5 to the Canon C200 a while ago and I’ve recently started shooting in c-long, which provides slightly mor...

December 22, 2019 17:37 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBI’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 5 since just after Apple introduced it back in September of this year. In that time, I’ve used it awake and asleep, at home and while traveling, for movie tickets and boarding passes, to track physical activity and hydration, to control my home and stay in touch with the people I love, and to demonstrate its safety features probably more often than I should. And, I’ve come to a few conclusions in that time. SPONSOR: Thanks to Skillshare for sponsor...
All the Macs Apple is STILL Missing
December 18, 2019 16:06 - 9 minutes - 9.52 MBApple’s really been bringing the fire over the last couple of years. A lot of products that had fallen off the radar, or simply fallen off, have been brought back. Some with swagger. Some, with a vengeance. We got a new big iPhone with Max, and updated MacBook Air, Mac mini, iPad Air, iPad mini — basically, all the airs and minis — and, most recently, a new MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and Pro Display. Yeah, all the Pros too. But, big and badass as some of these products are — they’re not all t...
