Apple is bringing iOS and Mac apps together (Apple Byte Extra Crunchy, Ep. 115)

2017-12-21
hello everybody on the internet my name is Steven Beach a producer of the Apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tom what's up everybody welcome to show it's Apple byte extra crunchy we keep it extra munching our complimentary piece to our weekly show you know how it is it's everything good and bad inside the world of Apple just a lot more in-depth and before we start the show because people like to chime in when they're watching live we got to give props Orlando in Orlando Orlando in our land Orlando in Orlando says what's up all right 115 again you can call us to be a part of show we actually got a lot of calls but some are like really hard to hear so we're not gonna play them and some are just really long and made no sense whatsoever so remember keep it tight remember think about what you're gonna say before you say it because I think that helps like just grab your thoughts together before you're calling right the number yeah just like some bullet points even 1-866 two six three eight that is the number to call again we want to remind you that this is the last show of the year we'll be back in about a month so not much the good thing is not much crazy Apple news happens during this whole CES break but maybe there will we don't know we won't be here we're gonna be what are you gonna go on vacation Beach I'm going to the LA for like five days gonna hit Universal Studios yes I'm gonna go to the back to the Bay Area though oh you're gonna be in the bay I'm stoked anyways enjoy it enjoy the time with your loved ones friends families or yourself this break but we will be gone for a month but let's jump to the stories really the lead story this week is coming to us from Bloomberg I don't know this made me this gave me an I roll Beach here we go here's the headline from Bloomberg mark governing company all those friends over there Apple plans a combined iPhone iPad and Mac apps to create one user experience oh wow here we go did anyone say Microsoft they have they had to do this man Wow totally had to do this cuz all their stuffs segmented you know I didn't they just had the uniform and yet they have to unify everything unification yeah and look you're right isn't it it is an inevitability they've kind of been the last they've been so stubborn about it I want to hear in the comments people are watching will kind of let you chime in and kind of drop what you're doing we've got some eye rolls already being posted in the comments but here we go Apple's aim is to let developers expand iOS apps to Mac computers I'm kind of laughing it inside a little bit now here's the thing here's some of the strategy behind it and we'll kind of talk and break it down apple's customers in the past of complain that some of these like the Mac App Store apps they get kind of the short end of the stick they're not as and that people are no matter what let's be honest developers if you're gonna pick between App Store and Mac store you're gonna go App Store first you're not even gonna care about the mac store as much but at the same time there's some developers who've been able to make a nice little niche in the Mac store because there's not as much love there okay so this is what's gonna happen we've always talked about like oh well Apple make a laptop with touch you know capabilities on a screen or an iMac with touch please this is the first this is the first step to getting there yeah building apps that work for both iOS iPhone iPad and Mac at the same time in addition to that the the belief is that these apps will not only work with a touch interface but they will be made to work with a mouse as well a click clicking point Mouse so starting is according to this report starting as early as next year software developers will be able to design a single application that works with a type screen or mouse or trackpad depending on whether it's running on the iPhone or iMac or hardware that's according to people familiar with the matter and this is directly from Bloomberg's report um currently developers must design 2 different apps what we've talked about one for iOS one for the Mac Store that's not as efficient and then also by unifying these apps they could help iOS and Mac OS kind of evolve and grow as one like look this is literally what Microsoft has been pushing Universal apps that work both on even-even games let's talk about Xbox that's the big one that's the big one yeah right Xbox one games such as cuphead Forza 7 and I think Gears of War 4 at least off the top of my head those are three titles that work both on the console but if you're a Windows 10 owner you can directly download those apps games and play them I can play them on a surface with a Bluetooth controller yeah that only is the games I mean that's that's everything and then if they're gonna be moving into AR and VR and all that stuff they got to get onboard with the games you know so this is all about this universal app Apple is developing this strategy is kind of the next major iOS and Mac OS updates that will be announced next year it's code the project is codenamed marzipan according to their sources marzipan is that a sweet ol mini that's a little bit like paste I love it's good which also brings back one of my favorite Ben and Jerry ice cream flavors did any of you ever have mission so marzipan back in the day do you know what I'm talking about okay it was this amazing like almond cookies and then like that sweet almond marzipan swirls in it it was ridiculous and they got rid of it and it's been gone for like seven or eight years and I don't know what to do it but they should bring it back I'm just this is a side request in case anyone from Ben & Jerry's is listening this podcast so they're calling it marzipan like that that seems kind of like an Android thing how they named everything after food we had KitKat what do we have now what is what's a new name for Android so the secret project that is no longer a secret marzipan is planned as a multi-year effort it's gonna start rolling out to developers as early as next year and will most definitely according to the support be announced at the annual Developers Conference in the summer this is also what I found kind of interesting too funny you you have to rewind a little bit back in time but there was a point in time specifically an apple has always said if you've looked historically when they have been approached specifically about bringing the two worlds together they've outright said oh no iOS is a separate experience from Mac OS they offer different benefits and all this are like saying dude just make an Apple version of the surface pro and it'll be sick right I mean a lot of people been wanting that but instead they've actually gone over to the surface Pro because you can do so many more things you can use you know desktop based apps and run these other you know use it as a tablet as well so remember we made fun of this in the show years ago Tim Cook had argued that he kind of used this this comparison and this is his quote you can converge a toaster and a refrigerator but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user he said this in 2012 Craig federighi also called the blending of iOS and Mac OS a compromise really compromise that's an ugly word I gotta say something though about I don't have a Microsoft Surface but I have a Windows 10 laptop touchscreen and I completely avoid all the the tile applications you know what I mean like the applications that are optimized for both for both a laptop and a Microsoft Surface like I avoid those I just want the PC ones you know cuz they yeah they're always kind of limited and they look crappy so I think Microsoft can definitely do a better job of integrating and then to integrating those into all their you know all their their laptops and tablets but I do avoid them so if if Apple can do it better then I'll be all on board and it's definitely gonna be all about the games are people that are watching and listening right now are you guys on board with this I just want to see your yes your nose your thumbs up a thumbs down I think what's also interesting will kind of get the pulse of everybody but it's also interesting is by opening this gateway to allow iOS apps to be ported to or made for also Mac I think you're gonna see two things you're gonna get a flood of garbage cuz yeah how many like you're going to get a flood of garbage but did it like in any situation with developers that care you're you you will there will be developers like for example affinity photo is one of the not infinity not infinity war but affinity photo it just was rewarded like one of the best apps of the year really my favorite app on the iPad pro giving me complete like Photoshop control with a pen stylus on an iPad it does work cross-platform with the Mac based desktop app but those are good examples developers that you'll want them to make an app that crosses over both iOS and Mac OS so it will always come down the developer who's gonna make the quality stuff that's gonna come over would you would you like to play a few games on your Mac once in a while just while you're shooting the breeze like I will you wouldn't you yeah for sure I mean that's that's gonna be the biggest deal you know I'm also like stuff like you know just like using Spotify or something if you're like used to using it a certain way on your phone all the time and then you have to go and use it on a desktop and you're actually like using the website interface and stuff it's always so much different and kind of a more of a pain in the in the ass you know so it would be nice to be able to just use the app on your computer as you would on your phone you know just I think this yeah I think this was an inevitable move for Apple was just one of those things where users are like when are you going to actually do this and we're gonna see how this transition happens I see people with thumbs up some people are like yeah ok you know maybe we'll see we'll see how it shakes out but it is you know I think knowing Apple and someone makes a great point here caster B are they going to still censor conservative apps or are they going to really curate and only approve certain apps that will go that'll kind of be a part of this now new iOS Mac OS platform because Apple likes to control their platform more than anyone else it'll be more stringent you know like more rules because it has to meet the guidelines for both the laptop and the and the tablets and the phone so it's probably be a lot more difficult for developers actually yeah Naveen Kumar Singh just put iOS apps on a Mac already he's like just yeah oh yeah and I think there's some great examples where that would help everyone out and again make this right now we've talked about this this is the most fragmented Apple's operating systems have ever been when you have different hardware doing different things with different devices even from something like an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 10 to an iPad those are iOS devices that all use iOS in three different ways it's time to bring it together so I think it's a really fascinating story and I think that it's just this is a classic thing where Apple will be so stubborn about saying we're not gonna do this we're never gonna do this this is not gonna be how it is and then four or five years later they decide to do it yeah and then the general consumer is gonna say oh my gosh Apple made iOS apps for the Mac now and that's like I know my desktops gonna be messy man because I have a ton of apps on my phone so the whole desktop she's gonna be covered in apps they're gonna have some got a way to like organize that in a cool way you know somewhere Satya Nadella is a is smiling and kind of like half smirk giggling that's the head of my okay all right I'm just some kind of updates with the iPhone 10 the iPhone 10 plus should help kind of aid in Apple's new push for OLED displays according to some reports here Apple is now or sorry excuse me samsung display is now at a 90 percent yield rate for producing OLED screens and what does that really mean earlier in the year as Apple is ramping up to build the iPhone 10s they were only able to get about a 60 percent yield rate of actual displays that could be used in these phones it bump up to 80 percent later this year it now believes it's up to 90 percent so they're able to churn through these a lot faster and more efficiently according to a report by the investor samsung Display will end up supply an apple with be somewhere between 180 and 200 million flexible OLED displays for the iPhone in 2018 that's up from an estimated 50 million from this year so that's a jump also let's be honest there's a lot more time we've had this kind of like last quarter of 2017 versus a full year in 2018 also the the general thinking is that a big amount of these o LEDs will also go towards the iPhone 10 plus or whatever they call it right just the larger iPhone display that's expected to be a six point four inch OLED just that big sized iPhone 10 ultimately to kind of diversify their lineup even more but that is something that we're expected to see next year sometime just a whole lot more of OLED and there is no comment on apples dependence if they're still really gonna start producing o LEDs out of their own factories or work with some of these other companies there has never there hasn't been a sign yet that they've been successfully been able to flip that switch on but they'll definitely need it so get ready more o LEDs for the iPhone now here's the story about the iPhone that has been getting probably the most buzz over the past week I'm not sure if you've heard about it or read about it but it kind of started on reddit and a user posted how basically the performance on their old iPhone success seemed like really slow once they had updated the operating system and they're wondering like what is going on and so what they did is they actually replaced their battery in their phone and then they ran another they first did an original Geekbench score on their kind of worn-down battery running the latest operating system I think it was like iOS 11 or 11 point 2 and they're like I'm getting weak scores a single core score of 14 66 and it's multi-core score of 25 12 ok so then they put in a new battery and much to their surprise but also what they had thought the performance on their phone jumped up significantly the single core score of 2526 which is almost double and a multi-core score of 44 56 which is almost double now forget out the numbers the performance of the phones were actually just a lot better almost twice as fast and so what did Geekbench do well Geekbench wanted to analyze it and see like okay is there really a correlation between the operating systems and how they deal with power management so power geek bench took the iPhone 6s and round their own test and basically they're looking for Geekbench performance scores they have an iPhone success running 10.2 and basically the general scores hit on that high 2500 mark score but as they started getting updating the OS on this phone to check its performance levels and what the geek bench scores were getting you started to see a broader range of scores anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 okay so you see this deviation that not all these phones are performing at their highest rate as you update your phone hmm now they did the same thing with the iPhone 7 it wasn't as drastic but again as they updated the operating system clearly the power management and performance is different they saw similar spikes in iOS 11 point 2 on the iPhone 7 as they did with iOS 11 point 2 on the 6s and so now everyone is same like what is going on what is really happening here now clearly batteries do aged over time and one of the issues if you don't remember Apple had released a software update I think it was like ten point two point one and that was because people's phones were actually specific I think six and successes were randomly shutting down yeah when they were around 30% battery to remember that yeah yeah I remember I remember story about that yeah so this was kind of an explanation what happened many iPhones this is according to the Geekbench story and a quote from reddit that many iPhone 6s devices were shutting down unexpectedly even after the battery replacement program because the grated batteries last muscle lasts much less and end up with lower voltage Apple solution was to scale down CPU performance again this doesn't solve anything and it is a bad experience your your phone is actually slower but it's better than having your device shut down at around a 40% 30% battery juice life when you need it the most and so that's a compromise right there it is right and ultimately it's not a good option No is it better than a shutdown yes but people have started to kind of figure this out and put put the pieces together so if you're experiencing some of these issues you know we just want to talk about it it is a very kind of like in-depth almost insider baseball what is happening to iPhone 6s and 6s is specifically as you update the operating system but how many times have you heard people after two years and glow and behold this is the two-year mark oh my phone is feeling slow it's almost like it's like it's almost like an old wives tale at this point you know like Oh two years is up Apple's throttling me now I have to go get a new phone you know it's almost like an inside joke that a lot of us say to each other you know like even just you know not even people in the tech field just just random consumers they feel that you know everyone kind of feels that and it and to my point I've always told people if you have a phone that's two years old don't update to the latest operating system it never so part of this is clearly the way that it deals with power management when there's a lower voltage coming from the batteries because these batteries are worn out instead of shutting down the phone they're gonna scale down the performance so this is just something to know it Apple hasn't confirmed this Apple hasn't responded to this but now at least you have a legitimate benchmarking site that is doing testing these out and showing that this does happen in both the iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7 as you update the software to the phones that's a bummer man so just something you would think like updating to the latest would make your phone faster and improve it you know like that's what everyone wants to think but I think I mean I feel like in the past sometimes they've been old in general most of the time when you're running a more advanced OS on hardware that look Apple is always going to prioritize the newest phone with the newest software and then they'll go to the phone one year lower and then the phone tiers lower it's and you can only squeeze out so much from from from those from that phone when it's a two-year old phone I mean there's a lot of advancements that happened in that time so I get that you know it may not perform as well but just don't I just tell people don't update your OS if you're one of those phones just don't do it like if you're on the two-year window yours okay if it's at the two-year point basically you're the two phone cycle just don't do it and I think that this is gonna get gain even more steam as more people talk about this I think as it becomes more of a mainstream story and it's starting to get there people aren't gonna be happy about this but at the same time what can you do other than like is someone gonna file you know it's gonna someone gonna file a lawsuit against Apple or action yeah a class-action lawsuit I mean who there possible I mean you know it's totally possible because people feeling like they're getting throttled like AT&T startles me when I get to like 22 gigs a month or something you know but I have unlimited data so they're saying oh we're gonna start throttling you after you reach 16 gigs or something and I'm like well that's not unlimited you know like I am paying for unlimited data and you're throttling me so why are you slowing me down you know and it's it's it's upsetting you know we're people are upset people are only gonna get more upset listen to this you know all right I'll get you a little more upset if you want air pods they are out Apple is officially out sold out of air pods until January of next year so I know Beach that was probably like the gift that would keep giving for you but a coin too if you go to the Apple online store if you even go to like choose to pick up air pods at least with Apple retail you might find them at like Best Buy in other places or Target or something you might find them right now through Apple earpods are out until January which then leads to our next story like when will the next next air pods come out according to ming chi quo and this is just makes logical sense to all of us here according to Ming XI quo from digit times Apple is expected to release an upgrade to the air pods in the second half of 2018 that pretty much put this upgrade about tears out like I said when they first came out they don't need to upgrade this every year they need to catch up with even selling them they're a really really really good product they're not great yet they can be better they still flip out on me when I'm out on the street like the sound once in a while we'll just like cut out and you're like huh what the hell was that right it just it does happen and also I want more better touch controls in them and do we really have to keep the the like the the q-tip look like do we have to do we really have to do that still yeah get rid of that they're gonna keep that they're gonna keep I think this is just what its gonna be for a while so anyways expect that sometime in late 2018 we are also are still expecting the the what guy why does it slipped my mind is it air power that pad that I keep on making fun yes I think it's gonna make sure here's the other thing I want to bring up that I realized about the air power pad it's a wireless charging pad it charges your phone your air pods with the new updated case and your Apple watch but if you're someone who has an apple basically if you have an Apple watch that has like the sporty rubber band that can actually come apart in two or some of the leather bands you're gonna be able to lay that flat but if you're someone who has something like the metal link watch band some of the classroom ones that actually can't flatten out you're not gonna be able to use the air power maxi pad with it that's a bummer man those other bands are way more expensive too and like have all kinds of built-in functionality so that is a bummer it's so stupid because not stupid for them but stupid that I didn't even think about it cuz I just saw the pics I'm like oh cool I'll be able to charge all three devices and pay $200 for that but it's like alright fine you know I would try it out but I can't even my phone I have that classy stealing ban on and it's not gonna if it won't I can't use that it actually absolutely has to sit complete a slap do they have a special Apple watch one like well probably not but you know if they had one that was like a like a watch holder kind of thing that would be kind of cool I mean there's there's companies that make stuff like that so someone's like you gotta slide the metal link thing stays like in a chain you have to you have to like break it apart okay work um guess what before our holiday season because we told them we're gonna be gone for a month no one wanted to sponsor the show so we're gonna end it right now just kidding all right let's get some more stories this week this is kind of the ongoing battle between Apple and Amazon this is finally like a little kumbaya moment for both Apple and Amazon the Amazons amazon says prime video the actual prime video app had its most had the most first week downloads of any Apple TV app ever Wow Amazon Prime video there's so much demand according to an apple this is according to the Amazon spokesperson it had the most first week downloads of any app in the history of TV OS I believe that yeah you believe that that's totally free I don't know how many you jumped onboard and just got it because it works for both the Amazon TV 4k what is that music this is kumbaya I chose the wrong version of kumbaya oh my god we're in a instrumental guitar kumbaya moment for these two you know I found the wrong version it works the so Amazon Prime video app number one top most downloaded in the first week in the history of TV OS which then of course you know now that Apple and Amazon are good terms the Apple TV is now finally back on sale on Amazon do you remember oh yeah that's right yeah much like Amazon is doing having this beef with Google where YouTube is no longer can be streamed on Amazon devices Amazon's like screw you were taken off the Google home and chromecast from Amazon at least Apple and Amazon to squash their beef so you can now get an Apple TV on Amazon but they're out of stock already sold out just letting you know I'm and then other news just quickly for the holidays for some Apple TV 4k bundles Apple is doing that on there I guess should I call it our iTunes store or just on their movie store you can now get like different bundles great 4k bundles like transformers like all five movies nothing I was curious just to be like oh okay like what what 4k models you know they have like the huh game bundles they have other 4k ones they even have something like action-adventure where did they put together like the accountant Argo and into the storm but as I was curious I looked up the Transformers package deal that they have gone right now and three of the five movies were rated below 20% rotten tomato one of them was like a 35 and then the very first one was like at a fifty fifty seven Wow I wonder if they based like the prices off the those those ratings you know those movie ratings okay so give you some twenty percent rated videos for free and oh yeah I'm looking at these deals maybe the best deal is I'm gonna say for drama for 25 bucks Life of Pi the Martian in revenue it movies yeah so I haven't seen sony Sony Pictures for twenty bucks they got bad boys Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the professional that's kind of a dope deal yeah I'm just I'm just listing off stuff sci-fi fantasy Blade Runner I am Legend that might be cool totally worth it alright umm let's jump over to a games and apps just some quick notes before we end up this holiday season if you thought pokey Mongo was dead I feel like it's dead but they're trying to bring it back and what they're doing now exclusively on the iPhone because the iPhone now has a are kid involved in it they're calling what they Pokemon go is calling this an AR plus mode again powered by Apple's air kit now what makes this different is that before you know you would use the AR kit mode in Pokemon go and you'd see the character there and it just would like stay there and run around well now the characters are actually anchored to the ground you can go up close to them so they'll increase in size you can get an idea of the size of the Pokemon like Pikachu is not the same as like who knows who else would I like charizard charizard charizard to get away yeah I like what Joker yeah squirrels a cute one so anyways it anchors the actual character there you can move around it but then they also say if you get too close to some of them or kind of like Surprise them they'll run away but it just keeps it locked in this space so like there's like a video clip that you guys can check out CNET got to go and check it out it's it's it's fun whatever can you pick them that's what I want to know I don't think you know oh no not at all the other game that is worth checking out it's kind of hard to deal with but uh it's called rainbrow have you seen this game no it's kind of getting some buzz rain ring growl is this game where it's think of it as like a jumping game where you're just kind of jumping up different ledges and trying to avoid things flying in it but you use your eyebrows you jump up and you do a frown OOP down and then you keep your face like normal to keep it in place I did find this very difficult to move down cuz when you frown it tends to jump down more than one notch so it makes it hard but when you use your eyebrows up you get a little up it jumps accurately rainbrow it's fun to watch people play its called 'rain brow I'm telling you this is like for the kids for the family you got to get this game I know kill chimera is like downloading this right now he's like rain on it come on I already know I already know you kill so yeah my kids would love that game dude that's hilarious thank you man um the other cool app that just dropped a little update I'm a big user of the Shazam for iOS finally is getting offline mode so what that means is if you have a poor or crappy internet connection you can still use Shazam and then once you get an internet connection it will then send the data later on and then tell you the songs that you heard because I hate it when I want to hear a song and I have bad data in it it won't work that's cool so like it keeps a record of songs you've listened to it just while you're walking through your life and then not later or you have to you have to prompt it but it'll most likely at least while it's listening and now record that song snippet and then upload it later on which is cool that is cool and then for holiday season just a little deal deal action for you guys and gals iTunes there's a $100 giftcard that you can get for 85 bucks using the code iTunes 15 and it'll be an email delivered iTunes gift card from Amazon in case you want to jump on that I don't know I just we don't do deals that often but I saw that I'm like this is useful like it's a great last-minute gift save 15 bucks yeah it's totally personal to an email totally personal about the deals man I mean I'm all about the deals it's just real personal hey hey hair honey here's a virtual iTunes gift card I got 15% off yeah I know my wife would be stoked cuz she's a big music person so she would she'd be stuffed oh I got eight hundred dollars to spend on some music nice jump on that jump on that alright and before we go just to end the show this is like the last story before we get to our calls Apple's newest Mac the nemah the Mac Pro the trashcan Mac today as of today it turned four years old that's amazing I've only seen like three of them in the wild dude I mean we we invested in them and then people like got pretty sick of them pretty fast yeah like I don't see anybody using them at all ever so wow it's four years it was December 19th was its birthday but I think it's gonna when we look back in time it's gonna be one of the black eyes because it also is it's black eyes from Apple's history because also they didn't upgrade or do anything with it for four years and then their idea of a pro computer became the iMac Pro and now they're gonna give us a modular Mac maybe what five years after this and after doing nothing with it it's pretty bad like it's pretty bad strategy strategy wise yeah and again the thing that will also live in infamy is when they released this Mac Pro Phil Schiller walked out on stage all cocky me said can't innovate my ass Wow it kind of came as a surprise of the keynote and then he strutted onstage after they show the cool promo videos I can't innovate my ass and it really started laughs and it's like probably shouldn't said that it's a misstep hindsight's 20/20 though hindsight is 20/20 bababooey would have called that a big misstep in apples apples history all right so we get to the calls let's do some calls thank you guys all for calling we had a bunch and we narrowed it down to I think five four or five something like that so here we go oh I turned up the wrong Saturday wrong fader my bad hey guys Matt from Illinois yeah I was just curious about iPhones with the new 5g network that is coming out any updates on that Thanks love your show back 5g the first thing to make it very clear is because of Apple's decisions their current iPhone tens that you have will not support 5g networks or at least get those excuse me optimal 5g speeds that are expected to come out I think realistically we're gonna start seeing I think t-mobile per se might be pushing it but it's not gonna happen really anytime soon it's probably gonna happen sometime we might see 5g networks starting rolling out maybe late 2018 it won't be anything prevalent where all cares will be up to 5g speeds honestly I'm gonna say somewhere around Gees late 2019 2020 it's gonna take some time to get here so yeah sure your iPhone work there but when a 5g network is gonna be available sometime most likely in 2018 you probably want a phone that is capable to do that and the iPhone 10 is not one of them actually any of the iPhones is not one of them so hmm it's something to look out for it's still it's still taking its time it's not gonna be like a switches flipped off and flipped on and all some we're gonna see it in a month or two it's still gonna be a while but uh we're expecting it at least see one of the carriers go for it and by the end of 2018 so we'll see if that actually does happen yeah I remember the first time when they turn on 4G that was a pretty big deal and it orgy LTE baby it was so much faster game-changer yeah okay next call here we go Weejun song what's going on this is calling from Atlanta again and I just like to call it and ask your opinion do you think Apple will release their own homekit certified home security camera system either just one single camera or maybe an array of cameras in 2018 love the show thanks guys but I will they do that um probably I'm gonna say no not not next year yeah they don't do camera stuff ever really I've never seen like an apple like a webcam or anything like that I wouldn't put it past a dude have do you remember they had the FaceTime camera that was like a silver Scylla cylinder that you could get in addition your iMac years ago it was like a thing you mount on your iMac yeah yeah well it actually looked pretty dope I still have it at my apartment it's a wide screen like HD widescreen everything it was in HD wasn't it I feel like it was a 720p cam at the time it wasn't HD like it wasn't like 1080p it wasn't super fan it actually might have not been 720p might have been 480p it was a long time ago hmm there's a long time ago but they did put out a web cam I honestly I don't want Apple to make a security cam and the reason being is they need a frickin focus they need to stop making new crap and make their their bread and butter really good like they're they're doing too much stuff just slow your roll little bit I'm not selling telling them out of all the people in this world to say stay in your lane I'm just saying just you have so many things going on just just kind of tighten it up a little bit man it's tight-knit we used to say that about Google - it'd be like Google's doing so much stuff something they would like launch three of the same product at the same product launch you know now it's like apples doing the same thing you can tell you can tell like Apple is doing so many different things like they're the focus of the quality and the focus that used to be there just isn't there anymore it's just a fact something to move is hard they're moving into the new campus I'm gonna use as they moved like two miles is that if that and it's like all fancy and stuff they should be like then there should be like motivated to be like oh we're gonna make this good so we don't look stupid right now yeah that's what they got to focus on all right you know I think this this guy had a follow up real quick Missy also this column again tongue where did you get that shirt that is pretty dope all right by this one I think he's talking about last week yeah I didn't even remember what I wore but I had to look it up although I hope he thinks this shirt is dope too but it was it was like this like reddish camo shirt from G star raw I just gave out all my secrets guys oh my G star raw nice yeah I don't know why we are we talking about clothes I always want to know about your clothes I mean that's cool okay last call here we go what's crack-a-lackin' beach songs tyler from Hotlanta so I've got a couple things here one I've got the iPhone extra foam ten and battery life actually a lot better than what I expected even with using Google Maps and so forth or ways anyway I really like the camera as well definitely great phones and so forth but the main my main thing was about the Apple watch 2 things one do you feel like that the Apple watch will ever get Spotify or Pandora for streaming services okay that's my first question I think question is do you does anybody know how to turn off explicit lyrics on you know the Apple radio alright just want to ask that question just got done for each other Jim and I just didn't like all the cussing and everything like that just my personal preference anyway freedom freedom I'm pretty positive of that you can turn off the explicit lyrics on Apple music in the settings let's see here yeah I think so too I like I'm almost positive I remember that I remember that being an actual like option now you know you can turn off let's see here I'm gonna because we're just hanging out right now turn off yeah you have to go into the settings of Apple musics app specifically scroll to the allowed content section and then you can turn explicit content off you have to confirm it by entering in your passcode but you can't do it directly from the settings in the app cool that's helpful that is and then what was this other question Oh Spotify another service yeah you know I wish they did but because you know you can do it from in front I feel like apples like hey we're already letting you do these other music services on your phone please I wish they could but right now with the Apple watch the only music service that they're promoting to operate on it is Apple music if you pay for a subscription you can stream specifically from the watch over LTE which is awesome that's the only reason I'm I like flirted with the idea of getting Apple music but I don't expect them to put any other third-party services to stream directly from the watch and only from the watch I just don't think they're they continue to be more locked down than ever and I just I wish they did but I don't see it happening really that's a bummer they're not letting people build third-party music apps for the Apple watch that's well they do you can but they're you know they're not um I'm talking about using it specifically with just LTE on the watch itself okay right now Apple music is that app I'm I'm like 99% sure so if I'm wrong so much it correct me but I'm I know that they have you know watch versions the app but I don't but it's pulling from the phone not from just the the watch specifically yeah I guess what was her self sales pitch like 2 million songs in your watch or something like that right so they can prove that number a little bit all your music apps in your watch okay that's it man are we that's it 2017 is almost done It's A Wrap I can't wait honestly so anyways everyone thanks so much for listening and just helping build this podcast to make it what it is uh we continue to get more viewers more subscribers and we continue to get more sponsors from it so I think it's a win-win across the board and it's all thanks to you so I think from myself and Beecham I don't know if you have any of the words Beach but definitely thank you to everybody we're so we're so grateful yeah I think thanks everyone we had a really awesome year and we'll be back to do it again next year yeah late January I think we're coming back so late Jan look at us look for us at CES and
