In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“it didn't come out for a while and then of course as you can imagine weeks later when it did show up it wasn't all that great”
“the iphone 11 is a device that i would recommend you're just getting a lot more phone”
“the iphone 11 is way better value for money”
“you are so much better off getting the iphone 11”
“this phone will lose almost nothing on standby”
“if you fancy yourself as a night photographer and iPhone is the route you want to go down then it's pretty simple”
