Big Smartphones vs Small Smartphones (#GeekFather 0078)

**Title: A Day with Tech, Jedi, and Unboxing Fun**

---

### Introduction

In today’s video, we join the YouTuber as they share their daily musings, tech experiences, and fun moments with their family, particularly their young child, Jedi. The conversation is filled with humor, nostalgia, and a touch of seriousness as they navigate phone upgrades, tech issues, and life with a curious toddler.

### iPhone Upgrade: A Necessary Change

The video kicks off with the YouTuber discussing their decision to switch phones. They mention that an update to their current iPhone model didn’t improve performance, leading to frame drops—something they find unacceptable. After testing devices in-store, they realized the issues were consistent on their current phone but not on the newer model.

Feeling it’s not a downgrade or upgrade but more of a "side grade," they decide to get a smaller iPhone for themselves and pass their 6s Plus to Diane, who needs a bigger screen for video editing. The YouTuber humorously refers to this as an "in-and-out operation," where they know exactly what they want and don’t dilly-dally.

### Reflections on Technology

The YouTuber reflects on how far technology has come since their younger days. They mention that when they first saw *Back to the Future*, they couldn’t have imagined the tech we have today. Now, *Back to the Future 2* feels like the past, and smaller editions of devices are the norm.

They also share a fun anecdote about Mark Hamill favoriting their tweet from 28 days ago, which sparks a playful conversation about holding onto iconic items like the DeLorean. The YouTuber jokes about not wanting to "hold" the car in their mouth, adding humor to the discussion.

### Jedi and Star Wars Fun

Throughout the video, the YouTuber’s young child, Jedi, is curious and engaging. They interact over fun moments, like building Lego Star Wars figures and deciding which ones to keep or sell. The YouTuber mentions how they didn’t get into clone troopers until after watching *The Clone Wars* series, which ended "way too soon."

Jedi also asks about Mark Hamill, leading to a playful exchange where the parent jokes that Mark Hamill doesn’t taste good and shouldn’t be eaten. The conversation shifts to selling figures like General Hux and the Guavian Enforcer to a local Star Wars podcaster.

---

### Unboxing and Tech Problems

The YouTuber is preparing for another live unboxing session, having already listed seven things they love and seven things they don’t about their current phone. They joke that their smartphone feels more like a PC now, which isn’t a bad thing but feels a bit underwhelming compared to their first PC.

Despite the upgrade, they’ll miss the slightly longer battery life of their old phone, which they believe Diane could make better use of since she’s always recharging.

---

### Life with Jedi and Tech Challenges

The YouTuber expresses frustration over spending too much time on tech problems instead of enjoying quality time with Jedi. They mention how every time they dive into tech issues, it feels like a waste of time that could have been spent with their family or exploring fun hobbies like unboxing toys.

Jedi’s curiosity and excitement about new figures are endearing, as the YouTuber tries to balance their love for gadgets with parenting. Despite challenges, they find joy in these moments, especially when they can share them with their child.

---

### Closing Thoughts

The video ends with a heartfelt note about balancing tech life and family time. The YouTuber thanks viewers for watching, liking, and engaging with their content across platforms. They also hint at future videos, encouraging fans to stick around for more fun adventures with Jedi and their tech toys.

As they wrap up, the YouTuber jokes about carrying their old phone despite having no signal, just to avoid nomophobia. It’s a light-hearted reminder of how deeply rooted our attachment to technology has become in modern life.

---

### Final Thoughts

This video is a charming mix of tech talk, parenting struggles, and nostalgic fun. The YouTuber’s candidness and humor make it relatable for anyone who’s ever debated phone upgrades or spent too much time on tech problems. It’s a reminder that while technology evolves, the joy of spending time with loved ones remains irreplaceable.

Thank you for joining us today—tune in tomorrow for more adventures!

too big i think i'm going to go and get the smaller iPhone out of the house the update we pushed out today really didn't improve performance honey I don't know if I can live with the frame drops and they seem to be less likely to happen on a smaller screen specifically with this version of software and I'm not the only person to see the differences I feel better about that I don't feel good about having to do this though timing for this particular exchange is impeccable well it'll be an exchange of sorts because I'm going out and getting another phone and then passing the 6s plus to Diane she's talking about editing video on her phone so she kind of needs a bigger screen I guess I'll be doing another live unboxing tonight I've already successfully sketched out the seven things that I like and the seven things that I don't like about my current phone my current phone as of this hour because next hour I will have a new current phone my smartphone is more of a pc than my first pc was which isn't very pc to say but I'm gonna say it anyway because since when have I been politically correct never I don't know if I should walk into the store wearing this hat though too many people may say it's awesome which really isn't normally a problem for me it's just that I am on a mission I don't want to dilly-dally not a fan of that I know what I want I know what I'm going for it's an in-and-out operation don't touch the sides and I am going to miss the slightly longer battery life that I believe that Diana could take better advantage of that as she's always recharging when I first saw back to the future to when I was much younger than I am today I never would have imagined we'd have the type of technology that we have today back then but tonight back to the future two becomes the past the movie will no longer play out in the future smaller edition acquired when I was testing devices side by side in the store I saw the same issues at least on the device that I'm no longer going to be using on these I don't see the issue which tells me that I was right sometimes I don't want to be right though I even pulled one of the store associates to the side when he asked why I was downgrading and I said it's not really a downgrade it's not necessarily an upgrade either it's more like a side grade and I showed him the differences between the two and even he saw the difference some people were born with the inability to spot the small differences between things I was not so blessed but that's one reason some people consider me a taste maker and why am I reviews tend to be very accurate trust me there's a big difference between Star Wars and Star Trek Mark Hamill just favored in a tweet i tweeted 28 days ago did you just ask me who that was Luke Skywalker would you like to hold on to the DeLorean it's just one DeLorean you got it no you don't hold on to it in your mouth yeah but that doesn't a bad atlanta center at Elango de Lorean to know i don't know what you're

remember the day I built this I'm glad I recorded it for posterity to to wish I could get the day back I just feel that every time I seem to spend more time on tech problems that I'd rather not spend time on I'm wasting time I'd rather spend the time with Jedi and you yeah you mean how about me and you or you and I you and me both of us and wickets but are you two buddies what's going on in there do you need help I didn't think you wanted to wear that you've got a bow in fixie do you want to wear it it looks good on you then again everything does except for the bow it needs to be adjusted

first they're old figures but they're new to me that one or that one I liked this one specifically because of the mask which I'm going to keep on the figure the whole time I know you're probably going to remind me that I've got to get to unboxing the other figures too I didn't really get into all the different clone troopers until after I watched the clone wars cartoon series which ended way too soon can you hold on to mark hamill for me no you don't eat Mark Hamill he doesn't taste that good there's a new rebels episode on the night but I'm not going to be watching it live normally cartoons
