The redesign is going to make it so that there will be a single page referred to as the feature eligibility page which would essentially provide a list of default features that every user would have access to as well as certain features that you would only be able to access until and unless you gone for phone verification, something that not every user plans to do.
The default features that you would be able to use regardless of verification are the video upload feature, the creation of playlists as well as the modification of playlists and the collaborators you include in said lists. You won’t be able to upload videos longer than fifteen minutes until and unless you opt for phone verification however, which is how it’s always been it’s just more streamlined now.
Some other features that you won’t be able to go for until you verify your phone number include the ability to get custom thumbnails along with livestreaming capabilities. Hence, you get the basics whether or not you go for phone verification as long as you don’t have community guideline strikes. The phone verification is basically so that random people can’t make accounts just to upload spam videos or content that is of a rather harmful nature.
