what is going on everyone jason here and today we're taking a long-term look at what was and kind of continues to be one of the most popular devices since last year the very successful iphone NUMBER_TOKEN. now you may not have known this but apple sold over NUMBER_TOKEN million units of the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN within seven months of its launch this type of sales volume hasn't been accomplished since the uber's successful debut of the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN. and as a holiday season is right around the corner and many of you are considering a smartphone upgrade i thought it'd be a good idea to do a long-term review of the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN especially focusing on how it compares to apple's newest kit on the block the recently released iphone NUMBER_TOKEN as there may be many reasons why this may be the optimal phone to go with as we head into NUMBER_TOKEN now before we get into the review in case you're new here i'm jason i would really appreciate it if you give this video a thumbs up it really does help me out and in case you're tech junkie like me don't forget to subscribe to the channel so you can stay up to date with all the reviews okay first let's talk about the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN's design there was a lot of hype going into this particular phone's launch as the form factor was finally being updated after years of stagnancy and i have to say it delivered this refined industrial look with this ultra flat frame glass on glass build and updated colors was really well received one year later i still love how apple color matched the aluminum frame and gave it a brushed finish it contrasts nicely against the glossy back panel it really is a pristine looking device that's built to the highest levels of quality and after using this phone for a while the biggest thing that comes to mind in terms of physical design is the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN size apple reduced the dimensions on the NUMBER_TOKEN and it makes the phone a lot more comfortable to hold in one hand and one of the most important things apple did was not make any compromises with the display size it's actually the same dimensions as the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN but apple reduced the bezels this allows the phone to be smaller and more comfortable in the hand but just as immersive from a user experience standpoint the front glass is also equipped with apple ceramic shield protection i still would recommend using a glass screen protector like i have just in case but i haven't had any issues from a durability standpoint and overall the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN has held up extremely well over the past year there's no scratches on the back or on the frame and it still looks as new as the day i took it out of the box now before i start the comparison between the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN and the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN i want to give a huge shout out to today's video sponsor karma karma has been one of the most valuable tools for me as an avid online shopper i recently moved into a new house and i've been wanting to get the google nest thermostat since i got settled in and because of karma i was able to snag one up at a killer deal and look all set up and i absolutely love this thing and what's awesome is that karma helped me get NUMBER_TOKEN off the retail price and i even got some cash back on it now there are four main benefits of shopping with karma but before we get into them the first thing that you're going to want to do is download the
