Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@OTRGlobal says : Who else got this recommended when the iPhone Peaked?>> <<@crazyrocket7173 says : Who got this recommended to them after the Iphone 16 released?>> <<@axrmtech says : We also peak>> <<@user-mf9gs says : iPhone peaked at the 6s. Then the 7 got rid of the headphone jack. Then the XS got rid of the dongle in the box. Then the 12 got rid of EarPods & charging block in the box. Then the 14 got rid of the SIM card slot. Then the 16 got rid of the stickers.>> <<@Nilo5321 says : nice wallpapers>> <<@walterdbrown says : I come here from 2024. Do you want to know what Camera Control is?>> <<@amoghthegreat says : 1:51 iPhone 14 Max is wild💀>> <<@RobloxianX says : Looking back on this, we were at peak smartphone in 2020.>> <<@staciefreshener4032 says : Second Comment: My 3.5" Colors phone -> Galaxy A10 Was one of massive upgrade from size to 6.2" and 2000mb ram (256mb on colors ) and 32gb storage (8mb on colors ) and so much But I got one plus nord and while specs are very good , their size is not different and I can do basic stuff on both phones. Gaming is better but if you skip mobile gaming because of micro ( even Genshin Impact after you benchmark and quit the Gacha trap ) then yeah , Gaming phones should emulate otherwise even mobile games are underused. Games max out at about 8gb and that's fine because rest is for multitasking or switching between games. But if you do One game at a time , 24 Gb is best used for emulation. NGL I'm a sucker for specs too. 4ghz SOC , 32gb ram , 2Tb storage ufs 4.0 would make me go wow but that's it. Sometimes I feel like I like specs more than device. Have any one of you bought a gaming phone or laptop but not play a lot ? Yet drool over specs .. ??>> <<@staciefreshener4032 says : It's almost like no reason to buy a phone and wait for long time. Iphone 10 to 14 is okay but in 2024 Iphone 16 come. I say Iphone 16 is best for people in 10 and below. 11 onward is optional 13 onwards is less optional 15 onwards might as well trade your phone or just be a apple lover. No reason for 16. I an happy with android but I have dislike them over years. They're being more like apple and copying worst . After One Plus settled , Huawei and Sony is my hope , or Pixel. The BBK in general also a hope. POCO also. But I'd say they're more of budget conscious or extremely well speced phone , but Huawei and One plus had like Huawei was more experimental like LG but not same , One plus was clean and enthusiastic until Color OS merged. Sony is expensive NGL , but I'd buy Sony over iphone all time. They're screen are too good ! And camera too. Ios is fun too. If I was rich I would keep iphones as extra device. I liked android because of diversity. But now even Samsung is boring. These guys got amoled like 12 yes or more ago.. now they're playing it too safe.>> <<@frankbacon1002 says : Phones have peaked at iPhone X. Like try using a flagship from that era. If the battery is fine, the experience is essentially identical overall.>> <<@ricajeanrubio5799 says : Hear me out, i hope there will be ultrawide camera in front or if that is not possible a small screen at the back so you can see yourself when using the back camera in selfies or groupies. I want to say in a 5.4 compact body size but i know it is impossible.>> <<@residentsleeper11 says : We peaked a decade ago>> <<@Cooe. says : Peak slab smartphone? YES! Peak smartphone in general? Not quuuite. We won't get there until foldable phone development starts to really hit a wall, which is probably still ≈2-3 more years away. Once foldables are fully figured out though, then yeah, the traditional smartphone will basically become a "solved device" in much the same way the laptop did in the early 2010's. 🤷>> <<@youngfilmreal says : Super accurate and interesting>> <<@User-bl5cw says : 2 extra gigabytes of ram is absolutely worth an extra 100 on an iPhone with an a15, whose bottleneck is having 4gb of ram.>> <<@billofwrights7695 says : The Galaxy Z Flip and Pixel Fold are clearly an iPad mini within an iPhone>> <<@randomhumans1395 says : Why do you try to make everything like a deep existential question 😅>> <<@noahyoseph3845 says : There isnt much to upgrade. Cameras are at peak, software is at peak>> <<@Emxn4444 says : 6:20 "We are bringing this top level performance from the iphone 13 to the iphone 14">> <<@Apple-xt4vp says : Her king>> <<@RealMrMizter says : What's peak without expandable storage :(>> <<@sirius-seriøs says : its iphone 14 plus not max!!>> <<@imnobodywhoareyouu says : As Taylor Swift said: I hit my peak at seven>> <<@superargo5806 says : I read this article and I must admit it's true. There is not much to improve on especially for the average consumer. Any improvements it no longer becomes a phone . Even the foldable phone has it's limits if maintaining the definition of a phone. And so to me it makes since for companies to extend the longevity of it's devices. Upgrades are becoming in a sense desperation. No real advantage nor incentive for the average consumer. I mean honestly 60hz vs 120hz, who cares, humans just are not ready for that kind of impatience. They are inpatient as it is.but honestly not much more I can see in incentives. And Apple amongst others are confirming my hypothesis. You can only put so much into the rectangular object we call a smartphone . So upgrades besides security become superfluous. My humble opinion. 4 Signs Smartphones Have Peaked 1. Smartphones Look the Same Now Modern smartphones look almost identical from the front because they've evolved to best fit their function, showing the most content while taking the least amount of room. The Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro is unique, but under-display camera tech will eventually make all smartphone fronts look the same. Luckily, things are much more exciting at the back. Put a Google Pixel, a Samsung Galaxy, an iPhone, and a Xiaomi flagship phone face down next to each other, and it'll become clear how each brand is trying to build a unique identity for their phones. 2. Benchmark Scores Don't Matter Anymore Although apps like AnTuTu and Geekbench are good indicators of how powerful a phone is, benchmark scores are irrelevant now for the vast majority of regular users. After a certain point (about 700,000 points on AnTuTu), the scores start to lose meaning. In fact, the iPhone 14 uses the same chip as iPhone 13, the A15 Bionic. Another reason to disregard benchmark scores is that they're not always an accurate representation of the phone's real-world performance. Some manufacturers set their devices to detect if a benchmark app is running to make it avoid throttling and inflate its performance, showing you an exaggerated score. 3. You Only Get Small Yearly Upgrades Earlier, each new generation of smartphones introduced something that would become mainstream. For example, smartphones first got a rear camera and Bluetooth in 2002, a selfie camera and 3G in 2003, Wi-Fi in 2004, headphone jacks in 2005, and touch screens in 2006. They also got fingerprint sensors in 2007, 4G and AMOLED screens in 2008, HD video in 2009, FHD video in 2010, HD display in 2011, wireless charging and FHD display in 2012, QHD display and 4K video in 2013, USB-C ports in 2015, and 5G in 2019. As time passes, new revolutionary features become few and far between. 4. Flagships Aren't That Special Anymore Many features previously exclusive to flagships are now easily available on cheaper phones, such as 4K video, wireless charging, in-display fingerprint scanner, and more. Companies come up with all sorts of overhyped features in flagships to try to upsell buyers. That's why we recommend you pick Galaxy A over Galaxy S phones if you're a Samsung fan. Sadly, for Apple users, the budget iPhone SE series retains an outdated design, poor battery life, and a single rear camera and is not recommendable.>> <<@EldhoseSunny-k6h says : My 13 pro max got the white screen of death just post warranty. Its unfair that I have to pay almost half price of the phone for a screen replacement without any damage. As well as the care provider charging me 10 dollars for everyday they took to fix the phone.>> <<@Scampi95 says : Peak smartphone was the Nokia N95. Everything from then on has been worse.>> <<@fearless6947 says : I don't think it's peak iphone or andriods. The camera can still be improved. Secondly everyone keeps buying laptops. Most likely just produce smaller batches or release new one, every 2 years.>> <<@jacksputrid says : 95% of people won’t use their phone more than calling texting watching YouTube and social media. Phones have been the longest running tech gag in history.>> <<@landonblack7304 says : 🤯>> <<@Neodx2 says : "Why would they sell the same phon with a different name" that right there is Foreshadowing Pro Max>> <<@abdujeridi2 says : The iphone has already peaked 4 years ago imo, we are now post-peak for smartphones>> <<@higheyesguy says : i feel like the pro models are the only decent options this year, and im coming from an 8 plus>> <<@grizmiz929 says : Releasing a new phone every year seems to be overkill. They should change to every 2 years and work more on innovation. Samsung flip ect phones are adding somthing cool>> <<@natef3r says : Just put type-c charging so they can die already lol>> <<@turntotruth_ says : Definitely at peak smartphone, in my opinion the next era of communication is going to be in the form of human body modifications. Think in terms of things like “neuralink” it’ll be popularised to get the masses begging for it>> <<@AmitKumar-cp1oz says : Smartphone is becoming commodity like televisions.>> <<@aminahossain8204 says : All of these are true Apple isn’t keeping iPhone launches that secretive anymore>> <<@anujrana7707 says : Short answer: we’ll know there are more dumb people than the smart ones.>> <<@timmytom4447 says : Great as always!>> <<@wormoutsnout7696 says : Do a video on Android>> <<@wormoutsnout7696 says : A phone without an environment to go with it is like a monkey without a heart>> <<@ahuek_nihuek says : Even if it isn’t on the peak, i don’t know about the others, but I don’t need more performance than new gen iphone has. Announcing new phone(whatever brand it is) every year for me is like producing even more garbage (maybe it sounds too rough, idk) that will be eventually thrown away or smth like that. The same thing for other products not only phones.>> <<@garretts431 says : When iphones peak - hahaahaha. Phones will never peak because they will evolve into something else. Tech transitions fluidly. What an idiotic video.>> <<@fiction.6913 says : 1:41: *That one didn’t age quite so well*>> <<@mvil says : Nah. Phones have peaked. iPhones from 2017 are still useable today (unlike android). i bought an iPhone 12 mini that i intend to use until they fall apart. Even then, i wont feel like i got the most out of my purchase. Its like paying $200 per year for a phone. Hopefully foldables by then have come a long way.>> <<@Themarcoalmonte says : If i can recall a phone releasing a year apart with the same chip, Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c had the same chip. 5c being cheaper than the 5s and colorful. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 have the same chip. 14 being cheaper than the 14 Pro and colorful>> <<@kingkonga8965 says : I love how the picture for this vid was kind of accurate to the actual 14 pro. Ik it’s still different but like still>> <<@ismaali says : you were right>> <<@drjtyson says : “Peak” smartphone will never exist. The quality will presumably only ever increase, albeit by smaller amounts each year. Peak better describes something like the performance of athletes over time, since that actually notably decreases. It’s reasonable to say you would choose Lebron James at 30 over LeBron at 38. Although there were bigger jumps between phones ten years ago, very few people would choose to use a 10 year old smartphone over a recent one, because again, unlike athletic performance, the quality only ever increases. If you wanted to get technical, you could say the first derivative peaks, but that’s functionally irrelevant.>>
