iPhone 12 Mini (left) vs 12 Pro Max (right) thread.

Judge for yourself.

In this shot: Both were in deep fusion mode. ImageImage
In this shot: Both were in night mode and took the same (2 second) shutter time, as they did with every single other nighttime test for me. Never once saw the Pro ash for a shorter exposure, but others have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ImageImage
In daylight, the differences are mostly imperceptible, as expected. ImageImage
The biggest low light difference I actually noticed between 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini was... white balance. It's a different sensor, with apparently slightly different color tuning.

Again, same noise levels. Same detail. Same exposure time (3s) ImageImage
At the end of the day, I'm confident with my testing... 12/Pro is already a phenomenal camera and 12 Pro Max is maybe 5-10% better in the harshest conditions. I'd buy it for the better battery over anything else 🤓

Ok so I got to test drive the new electric Volkswagon ID.4 at the studio this week, and hear me out - while it's not the most thrilling thing in the world, this is exactly the type of thing we need to start seeing more of for electric vehicles to catch on/take over. (Thread)
So you know how at the end of the Porsche Taycan video I praised them for not taking the easy route and creating an electric version of something they already make? I'll stand by that for $150K...
BUT that's actually what regular people WANT to see in their first electric car. Familiarity. And the ID4 has that. It also has:

250 mile range
77kwH accessible battery
125Kw charging
Sub $40K starting price

Ok so there are 2 very clear reactions to this "iPhone 12 won't come with a charger in the box" story and it's worth understanding BOTH sides because they can both be right:
Reaction #1: Is this a joke? $1000 for a phone and the most necessary accessory is sold separately? Has a phone ever shipped with no charger in the box? This is a new level of greed. Classic Apple, about to make a LOT of money creating a problem and selling the solution.
Reaction #2: Good. Less e-waste at scale. Almost everyone has a charger already anyway. If people want a fast/wireless charger, they can still get one.

~300,000 TONS of e-waste came just from in-box chargers last year. Great summary by @backlon here: theverge.com/2020/6/30/2130…

Got to CES. Brought a camera (X1D II and their new 35-75 zoom that I’m pumped about). So this begins my thread of dope tech spotted at CES and my impressions of it!

Also yes there will be videos 🤓 ImageImage
LG set up a massive wall of OLED TVs with a video playing across all of them and all I can think is DAMN that must have taken forever to render
Samsung's 49" Odyssey G9 monitor looks insane from both the front and the back. But it is 5K, so if you're tryna dual monitor game without the bezel in the middle..... ImageImage

So the “K” reveal story (thread) - It started as a joke years ago that I wouldn’t tell people my middle name because the K in MKBHD was the 1 private thing I had left. I jokingly started saying I’d reveal it at 10 million subscribers because clearly that would never happen
Eventually as the channel kept growing and picking up steam, people started digging that up and projecting when we’d reach 10 million and getting pumped for the reveal. People started guessing every name in the book. Whoa.
Fun fact: You can’t edit your own Wikipedia. So as people guessed, they’d edit my Wiki with their guess. To the point where Wiki would occasionally lock the page for vandalism… whoever was the last to edit was the answer Google Assistant/Siri would tell everyone for weeks 😅

Alright Twitter, welcome back to the ultimate People’s Choice experiment

This is a 16-way blind smartphone camera bracket

All you have to do is pick the better photo in the upcoming polls

There are flagships. There are cheap phones. Winners move on after 24 hours 👀

Ready? Image
Ok that first round of 16 is always wild. Almost every matchup was a blowout.

Tons of people guessing, thinking they know which phone is which.......

Here are the winners. Let's begin the voting for round 2, shall we? Image
Alright some much closer results that round, but here we have the results.

I just to say the one I originally guessed would win is still in. The rest is chaos.

It's time for semifinals. Get your voting fingers ready... Image

Daaaaaaamn, I can now say I appear in the second-most disliked YouTube video of all time 😬
The “problem” with YouTube Rewind is pretty simple, actually - the delta between what creators/audiences expect and what YouTube wants to show has never been more clear.
Creators want YouTube Rewind to be a celebration of YouTubers and the biggest/best stuff on the platform that year.

YouTube wants Rewind to be a couple minutes they can show to advertisers and say “look at all the great stuff over here that you want to spend your dollars on!”
