@@AlexanderBlumenau that’s true but thing is that people who think that is small minority. I personally just take whichever one is best value, which the iPhone mini is not unless it’s on sale for some reason

That's why the less smart smart watch that can last a week are pretty great. Health and sport tracking but no frivolous app and it looks like a normal smart watch.

Exactly. It's a good take, and the Apple Watch Ultra is proof Apple can still pack a ton of features and have it last 36 hours.

true but it also doesnt take that longt to charge the apple watch. personally a battery charge time of 1.5 to 2 days is idea, Enough for one day, sleep and then work day until you get home incase you forget to charge it

I load my Apple watch when I shower and whenever I want to relax. It's more than enough time to get it fully loaded.

Charge it while you're in the shower...... I have never not done this.

Yeah to me 16:9 is the happy medium and 21:9 resolution is the best for movies.

Yeah but they also has a much bigger sensor and the optics to support it. So less of a penalty to image quality when cropping larger portion of the image away.

Many people do not even understand where those formats come from. A camera lens would best work with a round image, or equally cropped, a square one. Those old 3:2 or 4:3 ratios come from old traditional film or TV formats. As we all know TV's moved to 16:9 in between, while cinemas usually use even wider formats. The idea for a cinema being to present the movie as immersive as possible. Meaning to as much as possible fill out our eyes natural field of view. Vertical videos are just a trend for taking and viewing on mobile devices, as that is the most natural or convenient format to hold a smart phone. But would you want to watch those on a TV or even a traditional personal computer? Funny thing, GoPro has integrated a square format to their cameras, meant for exactly that purpose, to be cropped afterwards.

@alexanderkupke920 I agree. I think a square sensor would be the best option for smartphones. It would be cool to have a "reframe" feature to change the aspect ratio after the video is recorded.

@@RJ-Isaac-TSOML Yeah it would get you the best of both worlds. Or make even another format common ;). Thinking about still fotografy, I think there was a number of middle format cameras that took square images around 6x6 cm on film. But in the digital world, there is yet another one I would have to see besides the GoPro doing this.

@alexanderkupke920 this really only makes sense for smartphones. I don't expect to see a square sensor on a mirrorless or professional video camera. The sensor is a very expensive part of the camera and bigger sensors cost more money per square mm since they have more waste. But on a tiny smartphone sensor, this will be less of an issue.

"you also want to wear it overnight for the sleep tracking", useless feature just go to sleep bro 💀💀

I’ve rarely had a problem with smartwatch batteries, you just need to adapt your routine to make sure it’s getting charged at the right time. Once I got used to taking it off for 30 minutes at a time when I’m at my desk to top up the battery, no issues wearing it through the rest of the day and night. Obviously any batter improvements will be welcomed but I don’t think charging it once a day instead of once a week is a particularly big deal.

Just charge it while you shower or right before bed, and carrying an extra charger's not hard lol

​@@Tom_Stevens617my Galaxy watch 6 classic can last 36 hours with the always on screen and constant heart rate and stress detection on and never turning on battery saver mode. I worked out charging my watch in the car works really well. I only drive 15min to work and 15min home so that keeps it topped up during the week. I have a couple longer drives so that will get it mostly to full.

If you leave for a weekend trip, you'll most likely grab it from a charger on Friday morning. And now the 48 hours only lasts until Sunday morning. Now you want 50 hours so it'll last all the way home on Sunday. And then we're at a point where it lasts just enough to not remember to charge often and you'll curse your watch when it runs out of power in the middle of the day . "Full workday" + a fast charger that's easy to carry along with your phone charger is the key if you're doing overnight trips and want to charge anyway. Anything beyond that and nothing under a full workweek is really practical, because you lose the routine for charging.

charge it before you go to sleep every other day. works for me

I have a series 6. I just leave it on charge for an hour or so before bed, and then again for a little while the next morning while I'm getting ready for work or whatever.

That would annoy the f out of me. My HUAWEI watch gt3 pro I use on iPhone cost me 200$, made of titanium and real saphire crystal (Apple Watch Never had that after Series 2 always glass mix) If I wear 24/7 with sleep/sport tracking it runs at least 7 days.

20watt charging while you shower gets me more than 24hrs on my Apple Watch SE (gen 2). From full to 10% I'm able to go 40-48hrs

just buy 2😁

idk why but yt keeps recommending me Marques old reviews of old Nokia Lumias and so on and damn. that colorful matte plastic and tiles on display still look so good. I'd love to see 2024 take on Lumia 920. this phone but 6'7-6'8 almost bezelles display would look so good imo. it wouldnt sell tho I guess also I'd love plastic to return a little bit. or like any material that would be lighter that glass backpanel. ppl put those phones in cases anyway idk.

Web OS as well. Both were too late to the party but way better designed than android and iOS.

It's more of a cult classic really, it's just that the "cult" isn't big enough. Personally I'm using an SE 3 after owning a SE 2, 8, 7, and 6. Clearly I don't like a big phone. But I also want a simple cheap one.

Oh brother

Yes, cult following. But I tell you, that cult is more than halved by the battery issues amidst plenty other minuses. You take very special things and put in the pros and max-es… no one’s definitely going for the mini instead of those. I think it’s really a great take if there was a complete pro in a small form factor. Apple users brag a lot. You can’t brag with the mini against the rest so there’s a tendency to feel less in size (and in all others). I have used only the minis since the debut so I can tell for sure.

i can't speak for other regions of the world, but here in Asia people just buy the big phones for the sake of the "Pro", "Max", "Plus", "Ultra" titles. people really don't give a damn about bigger screen sizes or longer battery life, and i don't know if i should call them stupid or just have too much money to spend.

​@@vuxluongwfrom Malaysia and this is kinda true, peers around me automatically associate "good/premium" phones when they hear the word Ultra, Pro, Max etc. The word Mini doesn't evoke the same image in their heads, almost everyone I know doesn't own a mini iPhone

This is my question... I do not have a smart watch yet but I do want one for two big reasons sleep and fitness/health tracking as the primary reasons with texts and other features as the secondary reasons. So I must have the watch on when I am sleeping to track everything but I also need it on me throughout the day to track my daily activities so when do I charge it??? 1 day battery is just a no go for me.

@@Stecbine Thing is smartwatches charge fairly fast. I have a iwatch I bought second hand and use it to monitor my sleep and fitness/health tracking. I just put it to charge during my dinner and it always last me the following night and day.

My fitbit lasts 5-7 days on a charge and it takes like 30 minutes to get to full. I love it. (It's the Sense 2 btw)

​@@Stecbinewhat I do is that I charge my watch when I wake up. I take a shower, brush my teeth, have breakfast and check some social media on my phone. By the time I'm ready to leave for work the watch is close to 100% battery. Currently using the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.

@@romainsmiley7138 It's still annoying that you have to think about it at all. Like, if you use it like a phone strapped to your wrist, one day is probably fine, but if your main objective is fitness tracking (or even using it as a tool, some models have more advanced navigation functions for trekking and stuff) the models which last one or two weeks on one charge are VASTLY superior. Less chance to miss something cause it's empty at the wrong time.

Yeah but even with longer battery life, you’re still going to have to charge it and not be wearing it, and if you’re already in a daily routine with your phone, doing it with your watch is not that hard.

@@timloader Health and sleep apps would still have functionality if you could use it every other or maybe every 2/3 nights. But the fact that you can basically never use them is the issue.

@@frosthammer917 it’s not an issue though - there are plenty of times in a day when a person doesn’t need their watch on and can charge. For me, I charge it when I’ve arrived home for the night and before I go to bed, works perfectly.

What are y'all about?! I sleep with my watch (and it's an old one, a Galaxy 4), and charge it in the morning while I'm showering and getting ready. It charges in about an hour. For most of them, it's one day as in 24 hours, not a work day.

Bro you charge the god damn thing in 30 minutes, don't tell me you don't got time for that while you brush your teeth and shower for the night.. Come on

It’s because Apple is a smart watch and garmin is sport watch with smart watch features I would call it

both watches really aren't comparable though.

EXACTLY

Huawei makes some watches too that can easily last for more than a week, but i dont feel like an apple watch does that much more than a Huawei watch for it to justify having such a shit lasting battery

@@sir_whocampsalot2876 its honestly fine dude. charge it in the shower and while reading before bed. never had issues with anything and you dont spend time without the watch except when you dont need it. its an amazing watch and has insane app support compared to huawei

My watch tells me to charge for 10 minutes to make it through the night, if you set your time you’re wanting to sleep it will do all the working out and reminders for you. I find it super useful. But as long as my Apple Watch has 20% before I go to bed, I know it will last and have battery when I wake up and then I charge it while getting ready in the morning :)

I wear mine every night as an alarm for the morning. Much nicer waking up to a vibrating wrist than any audio alarm, and it doesn’t disturb others. I just end up charging mine a bit before I go to bed

@@Kaizagade My watch reminds me of charging it before going to bed as well. It's a pretty neat little feature tbh.

@CGingerbreadman I do the same except up to the point of having my phone silent. So, every morning my phone just blast me with its loud alarm and I dismiss it on my watch.

@@CGingerbreadman This is a great idea, I'm going to keep this in mind when I get my watch back.

you can view anything in 4:3, just glue 2 pieces of paper to the sides of your screen, congrats, now you can see half as much as before

@@pepepicapinto543 it's not about subtracting space from the sides, it's about shifting it from the sides to the top. My 5:4 monitor is just as wide as any 16:9 I could put on my desk, but there's more space on top to view stuff. I couldn't put a 16:9 monitor on the side either, as it would be too tall to fit. Letterboxing *is* a thing, but it's not especially pretty. 🤷‍♂️

essentially you like zack snyder's justice league

@@saketbakshi4235 I think it looked relatively pretty but that can't hold my attention for 4 hours... The Whale is a better example utilising aspect ratio artistically

70mm is actually just under 70mm right? Because of the audio capture used on original 70mm film - but they kept the term for IMAX film that is the same aspect ratio but isn’t actually 70mm- I think?

@@benwilliams1267 the internet tells me it's 69.6mm across, which just doesn't roll off the tongue as easily

I honestly think that Academy Ratio is superior in both movies and video. Now don’t get me wrong, sometimes Widescreen or Cinemascope is better, but only if there’s a reason behind it. Most screens are 16:9 and that makes it make more sense that the most used aspect ratio is 16:9 as well, but a lot of people (UKpostsrs and Filmmakers) make it look like it took the top off Academy Ratio instead of adding to the side of it. People like Wes Anderson can definitely understand what ratio to use and when, but most UKpostsrs don’t really put a lot of focus on that *aspect* of their video and therefore I believe that Academy Ratio should be the standard. You can obviously do what you want, but unless you’re Chung-hoon Chung or Wes Anderson, mby just stick to Academy Ratio and let it put focus on the subject as is usually preferred in UKposts videos!

I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed. What was going on with the ladder as well??

As opposed to the girls who are forced to buy pixel phones?

No red flags at all with a girl rocking a Pixel phone for sure; if I know no one got me, I know Sahil Jain and Michael Chen do.

Really wish videos shot naturally at 1:1; as a video editor it was always a pain cropping usual horizontal videos to vertical for TikTok lol

The problem with that is that people want to use all of their sensor. It would require mindfulness that you are going to crop the video later. Otherwise, it will look wonky with way too much headroom or the subject way off to one side.

I know I don't get all the pixels I could but I always shoot in 1:1 on my phone so I never have to worry about what orientation I'm holding my phone. Kind of annoys me I can't shoot landscape or portrait regardless of the orientation of my phone (I dunno anything about cameras so I don't know the technical limitation here) but shooting 1:1 makes this really easy to not worry about.

​​@@t0astfacethe limitation is that the camera sensors put in phones are a 4:3 rectangle. That means that shooting in 16:9 or 1:1 does not use a section of the original rectangle, effectively losing vision that possibly could've been used in the frame. If you were to take a picture in 4:3 and 16:9 in the same phone, the 4:3 will have more pixels and have a wider field of vision simply because you did utilize all the pixels available to the camera sensor, if that makes sense. Now, square sensors would mathematically the best ratio since you can most optimally crop them into any other aspect ratio, but manufacturers stick to 4:3 because phone screens are all rectangles, be it vertical or horizontal.

⁠@@t0astfaceyou only lose filming in 1:1. The only thing the camera is doing is cropping out the image on the origin. You only loose information. Don’t really gain anything there.

Fitbit Flex 2 was it… unfortunately, they didn’t make newer versions

Yeah, the issue is that wearing a smart device anywhere not visible is a hit for the company.

I collect luxury watches which can be a pretty snobby scene, and even most of those guys all agree there's nothing wrong with wearing one on each wrist.

proving his point

12 mini user here , from my experience people have never noticed my phone as an iphone , it’s a plus for me because of its size & when someone do notices it , they use it and they love the compact form factor that my mini has and they compare it with their big screens, as a con this phone needs regular charging between days , since an older phone might need those frequent charging between days , i had no problems with it & i developed a routine to charge it frequently and this con kinda disappeared for me

It's a real shame that they discontinued the Mini. I have a 13 Pro and the standard iPhone size is already at the edge of usability for me so there's no way I could use a bigger phone. I would have loved to have a Mini option. I guess all that's left now for small phone enjoyers is that one Zenfone?

Watching this on my iphone 12 mini. My backup phone is the first gen SE. these phones are so convenient to carry.

Why dont u go for 13 mini if battery is such an issue for u

This (or something like it) is really what needs to happen to compensate for people who don’t know how to film

MTF sensors are 4:3 aspect ratio. But full frame sensors are 3:2

I wonder why sensors weren’t manufactured in circle or octagon shape for utilising all lights entered through the lens. 1:1 is the best proportion.

@@CC39 manufacturing efficiency.

​@@CC39 also, consider the history. Photographic film and later movie film was rectangular. How else could you subdivide a strip without wasting film? Since everyone got used to rectangular imagery, digital sensors followed suit

Better get the anxiety app on your watch

Only 1 day? Mine usually lasts for 2 days.

The Ultra will easily last you a day and a night, been doing it since release

Thats the reason I moved to Huawei watch gt4. 2 whole weeks with notifications and all the sensors. Never going back to any watch with less then week of work.

I think the issue is that the usages of phones grew faster than battery tech. If the batteries were able to have higher mAh (say, 13,000) in the same size and form factor of current phone batteries or smart watch batteries, it would be a non issue, but that's not the case. Users need to push for improvements in battery tech if we want to see multiday devices make a return

it is so great to just be able to wear the watch all around for no reason to take it off except showering maybe, i charge my garmin maybe once a week and i could just slap it on the charger when i shower, it could also last longer, but i have a lot of features on

It was a technical limitation. It was the shape of CRTs. There is no advantage.

@@krane15I think you are misunderstanding what he’s saying. Every lens gives off a spherical image, a circle. To make best use of that lens’s resolution you try to fill it up with an image sensor as square as possible. A perfect square is best, 4:3 is next in line. Has nothing to do with CRTs, in fact 4:3 dates back to the earliest films, way before television existed. It’s just physics.

Yea

Interesting take on MKBHD iPhone Mini. The majority of my friends and family members wish for an iPhone Mini with the same specs as the pro models. Most all tech UKpostsrs say the same thing “they would sell mini phones if people wanted them” missing the point that people are just stuck with the bigger iPhones because Apple isn’t putting the same specs in them.

I even “downgraded” to a 12 mini just a month ago. And now I don’t see myself ever wanting a bigger and heavier phone ever again!

@@omens3403 agreed.

OK, Mr. Squirrel Hands

To me myself the IPhone SE is the IPhone Mini. Or isn't it? Case closed.

That's CRT aspect ratio. It was the reason wide-screen was created in the first place: to give people something to get them back into the theater.

Shhh! You must not speak ill of King Musk! His followers will condemn you!

Honestly Marques overlooks a lot of important details like this.

Same!!!!!

I stopped using the Watch for the same reason. It doesn’t need to last more than 24 hours, but it needs to be able to charge quickly when I take a shower.

Smart watches have other features that people don’t know about outside the health tracking. Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. Mass transit cards (Japan, Europe, and some other countries not USA), Digital lock access via NFC, smart home controls, GPS directions (Apple Watch taps you on your wrist when the next turn is and displays the direction of the turn). Ifs easy to remember to charge smart watches. Just put a watch charger by bed and place watch on charger before bed. It will be fully charged next morning. There are really expensive old school Rolex watches that required the user to wind up the watch every morning.

they charge fully in like 30-45 minuteds, no need to charge it all night. I charge mine after work while relaxing or in the shower.
