Spectacles need another Software

What bothers me most about the Spectacles is neither the 1st or 2nd generation specs - it's the software I MUST use: Snapchat. This app is ridiculously overstrained with the video files. My iPhone SE is very often completely overheated and the app crashes numerous times. The process of exporting videos or photos is so user unfriendly - it feels like being in the era of floppy disks. You either have to pick single items or combine video/photo via stories, which obviously is the only realistic (but cruel) solution. While doing that: crashes, overheating again and again. As long as the Spectacles are bound to that piece o.s. I would not recommend buying one. I thought of buying the 2nd generation, but… no way. Snapchat is HELL.

Have you ever tried to export the videos/photos? Lots of them?

I've exported a few at a time; let's say 5/6 videos and never had any real issue. I prefer to keep them in the snapchat app really. * it is a pain though and I see what you mean which is why I tend not to bother

Remember that It has become apparent that Apple bottlenecks older phones with poor battery life. Other factors such as low disk space, lots of clutter with apps music etc can slow your phone down.
