 Good morning guys, happy Friday, happy iPhone release day. Sliding's crazy, I'm so excited. I'm vlogging today because I'm getting my new iPhone. First of all though, I wanna show you the Friday fit. It's jeans day, definitely with my jean button down shirt. And yeah, first up, as you guys know, we go to Starbucks, gotta get that coffee. I've been getting my espresso drink, like the three pumps espresso and three pumps vanilla as like a usual kind of with the pumpkin cream cold foam. It's so good. And since I've been getting up at like 430, I need the espresso to like help me out. But today I got to sleep in and we're just gonna get the normal iced coffee. So let's go. Got the coffee, just got the usual drink. I don't know if I told you guys, but I tried the Duncan version instead of like just normal. Which is fine, like I don't really care. And it was actually pretty good, but I think I'm gonna try the sugar-free version next time if I get Duncan. So it'll just be like, you know, regular vanilla, but I'll probably do like an extra pump just because it is sugar-free. I don't know. It'll probably taste like shit, but I don't know. I'll try it when I go back, just because. But the coffee wasn't bad, it was very sweet. And I know that this is not part of like the iPhone part, but you can just give it. So, Duncan's is good, but there is a slight, slight taste of foxtail coffee. And it's like the aftertaste. And I think my friend and I were talking and it must be the bean that they use the type of bean because after I have like Starbucks, there's no weird like this aftertaste. Like, I don't know how to describe it, but there's like an aftertaste in a foxtail's coffee that I do not like. I've tried everything that I drink at foxtail. I've tried the espresso, I've tried everything. And there's always this a very distinct like aftertaste and I'm not, it's just not the vibe. I don't think I can go there and have a coffee. And especially because it's like expensive and stuff, I just can't do it. And Duncan's is kind of like that, so I'm thinking maybe it's the flavor of the syrup. So maybe I'll just get the almond milk and try that or the sugar-free vanilla. There is that slight taste. It's not as strong as foxtail, but Duncan's does have this weird aftertaste and I just don't know what it is. Or maybe like literally all coffee tastes like that and it's Starbucks that's different. I've just gotten used to like Starbucks's taste. I do like though how Duncan's coffee is lighter, like it's not as bitter tasting, if that makes sense, I don't know. But I guess I just got used to Starbucks and this aftertaste thing is just driving me crazy. Next up, I know, let's talk about the screen protector dilemma. Okay, so this is so silly when I'd say this, but putting on screen protectors is like such a crucial thing and I get so nervous putting on the screen protector and one of like this close family friend of mine, she's from like Washington state. You guys have better, I did a video. She's one of my Shaman sisters, but I know that it takes like too long to explain what that is. So anyway, I just say we always will mean one of my other Shaman sisters just say like close family friend. This girl is from Washington and she came and she's like into like tech and stuff. So I was like, this is back when the iPhone 5 was like popular. I was like, oh, can you put on the screen protector for me? I'd probably do a really good job. And she did and it was like perfect and there was like no hairs and like no nothing and it was just so amazing. And that was before like the guides were a thing like, you know, the guides to help you put on the screen protectors. Anyway, I digress. So for this iPhone, I ended up getting, sorry, it's like really loud because there's a freaking motorcycle next to me. I ended up just ordering a screen protector on Apple and I'm gonna be honest, like the thing was like 50 bucks and I couldn't believe it. Like I spent that on a screen protector and you only get one. Like it's not like you get at least three so you can mess up two times. And when I say mess up, I'm not necessarily saying that I'm messing up like putting the thing on because I'm doing a pretty good job at that now. Now sometimes you can get like a millimeter off, which still bothers me, but it's fine. The one that I have on my phone now, there's like a slight angle and like it's not on completely straight, but it's fine. Now I'm just showing my like OCD-ness, but it's fine. The thing that I have a problem with is like hairs underneath or dust particles underneath the screen protector. So I always get stressed out that there's gonna be a hair or something and how I really check this, like how I check if there's any like hair or whatever. I just turn my screen on and it like on a white screen and you'll be able to see it. So the worry I face is getting hairs underneath the screen protector and only having one. I did my due diligence and I got a pack of three on Amazon just in case. Oh, everyone's stopping now. Back to what I was saying, I got a pack of three on Amazon for like $6 and that is just in case I mess up on this one like $50 screen protector I bought. That was a long story for just a little thing, main point, but I felt the need to say it in this video because yeah, screen protectors just like stress me out. So when I do like the unboxing or whatever, I always turn off the camera and like have my moment putting the damn thing on the screen. I hate that we still have to use screen protectors, but like honestly, you do get like hairline scratches just from like your fingernails and like keys touching it. So it's just, it's good safe measure, you know, to have a freaking screen protector on the phone. And then to finish this little chit chat in the car with you guys, cause I know you all love these parts. This girl at Starbucks, she was like cleaning the outside tables. She was like, I love your outfit. And I was like, oh my God, thanks. It's just so nice. It's like good to start your day and I don't know, just good energy and the coffee was made really well today. I think I just ran over bouncy ball. Someone, a little kid must have thrown it out of their car or something. Okay, so that is going to be it for this random car parts chit chat in the car with me part of the vlog. I don't know if I made any sense, but I'm going to enjoy my coffee and my drive to work with some YouTube videos because that's just what we do or podcast. But since I have some YouTube videos to watch, I normally listen to YouTube videos. That's the one good thing about driving, like a long time. Like you have time to like absorb content and like listen to things. That's like the only good reason, but it's fine. Okay, so I promise you, I promise you that it is later in the day, obviously. But I am on my way to pick up the phone. I'm probably going to eat something first. Just so then when I leave, I can just go home and set up the phone and do the unboxing for you guys. I'm so excited. Yeah, I've been thinking about this phone also too. I was like watching unboxings and there was like a, I don't know, the guy said something about an eSim and I was like, oh my gosh, like does my carrier? Cause I go with like a third party carrier called Cricut and it's like an off brand of like AT&T. It's like a lot cheaper and stuff. So that's why I just get the unlocked phone. So I don't have to, you know, like worry about my phone and everything being too expensive. So I was like, oh my gosh, like this new phone does not have a SIM, like a SIM card reader. Like you don't put a SIM in it. That sounded weird. You don't put a SIM card in this device. So I'm like, what am I gonna do? Like when I pick this thing up, like how do they do it? But I guess there's just like prompts and stuff and now Cricut allows for eSim's. So everything's good. Everything's fine. I was just like really nervous about that. So it is raining outside as I've stated before, but I'm on my way to find my phone. I made it to the mall, got a good, pretty good parking spot, which is good. And yeah, it's about 620. I don't know if I'm just gonna get the phone or eat before. It depends on the line. So we'll see. Okay, so I literally have 10 minutes to eat this because then it's gonna be 625. I can't eat this pretty fast, trust me. And it wouldn't look any different. Look at the line still. Like it's currently almost seven and look how crowded it is waiting in this long line. Okay, so I was at the wrong side. I was over there, but they moved me over here. So it's a lot shorter of a line. So hopefully this process will be a little bit faster. So because we have to wait in this long line, the Apple store gave us water. How funny is that? I've never experienced anything like this. It was just like walking around and was like, do you want water? And I'm like, sure, so, so funny. Okay, this kind gentleman, Eric's helping me. I've got the goods. Okay guys, I'm back and obviously looking a little rough. Lighting's a little weird, but to unbox this for you guys because that's what the video is. So this is the box, obviously. So let's open her on up. So there's these little tabs. I didn't get the iPhone 13 because I get the new phone every two years. My box came, I think it was still the cellophane. It was like clear wrap, but now we have these really cool paper tears. And then here she is. It's so pretty. There's already a little dusty on her, but look at how pretty. So I got the white one because I feel like with any case or whatever, like it'll just match better. Look at that massive camera. Holy cow. That's insane. So I got the white one because I wanted it to match. And honestly, I feel like white's just a lot more timeless. And let me take it out. So taking it out, I hope I don't drop it. Oh my God, that would be horrible. So as you can see, there's no port anywhere that you can put a SIM card. So that's where the eSIM comes into play, which I freaked out about, but that's the side of it. And then, yeah, I'm so sad. I'm gonna have to touch the sides of it for now. The lock button is a little bit lower than the iPhone 12 Pro. So this is the 12 Pro, this is the 14 Pro. And as you can see, like if I put them back to back, they're pretty much the same phone. Hold on, let me just, oh my gosh, I'm gonna like scratch up the camera already. I'm going to take off the case. I love this case so much. And case device isn't making the bronze anymore, which I'm really sad about, but it's fine. Let me just take this case off so I can do a little comparison. 12 Pro, 14 Pro, look at the camera. 12 Pro, 14 Pro. Look at the camera is massive. And then putting the phones. Okay, so the thickness, it is a little thicker. It's thicker than a snicker, the new one. So as you guys can kind of see, it's a little bit thicker, not too much. And they're the exact same size. And the reason why I wanted to go with the Pro instead of the Pro Max, it's because like, I like to be able to hold my phone in one hand. And with the Max, I got the XS Max, the XS Max, a while ago, and like when it came out and it was just so hard to hold. Like I couldn't text with one hand. And sometimes I need to do that obviously. So I just go with the smaller phone. The internals are the exact same as the big one. It's just the battery life last a little less, obviously, because of size. That's the reason why I go with the smaller phone because I can't hold the bigger phone. And now I've gotten prints all over it. I'm so sad, but it's fine. What we've all been waiting for. Well, first, I'll just show you guys. The charger, it's the USB-C port. It's the same one that I have with the high speed charger, which I just use valories. We get our classic Apple sticker. I think they changed the paper on this. This is looks like a recyclable thing. You no longer need a SIM card. Activate your eSIM during iPhone setup. So it comes with this little thing saying you don't need one of those like things to unlock the SIM thing. Obviously like the fine print and everything. What we've all been waiting for. The satisfying peel. And sorry if there's background noise. Our air purifiers here, so you might not be able to hear anything, but it's just paper anyway. Look, it's so pretty. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to check out the dynamic island. Anyway, now I'm going to go stress out about a screen protector and I will be back. I'll let you know how it goes. Pray for me. While my iPhone is getting all like set up and stuff, it has to update and then I'm restoring it from my backup from my old phone. Okay, this $50 screen protector was worth it in the end. It's on completely straight everything. I do have a couple hairs, but one is not even like on the screen. It's like on the side and then one is up here, but I think that's just like an air bubble and it will definitely settle down like once the screen protector's on. Okay, so I don't know what's going on with my phone right now, but it's fine. Okay, so I'm going to finish setting this up, but overall the screen protector's really good. I think it's going to work out well in the end. Fingers crossed, I don't know, but it's at least it's on straight and there's no like hairs too much, but we do have a little Lisa Junior, so it's cool. So the screen protector came in this thing and then this thing like stretches open. See the rubber band. You place your phone in there and then you just place this on top like this and then there's this little hole here. I don't know if, yeah, you can see it. So there's this little hole and you match it to fit it in right here and then you press this down and then bam, like your screen protector's on, it's amazing. So anyway, highly recommend this. If I remember, I'll link it down below so you guys can like shop all this stuff, but yeah, just thought I would give you an update on that. Oh wait, before I forget, so this green does not really match the green on the case. It's kind of weird. I just wanted to note that, like it's a little bit darker green like in person. I've got to finish this, but anyway, I think that's gonna be about it for this video. Give this video a thumbs up if you want to see like a what's on my iPhone because I love doing those videos. Don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye.
