good morning and good afternoon world planet Earth my name is Steven Beecham and you're watching the Apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tong Oh Oh what's up everybody welcome to the show it is episode 96 of the applewhite extra crunchy this is our complimentary piece our long format kind of discussion kick back dig deep into the latest stories that came out this week from the Apple byte and as always this show is all about you for you kind of by you although beech and tall I mean I guess it's by us but it's for them right yes it's by us for them but they contribute so well with their phone calls and it makes the show a lot more fun like when we get to the end and all the phone calls we love it like that so it's 1 800 662 help it under a minute we are the training sessions have served us well especially this week right like oh yeah I think everyone everyone stayed under a minute except for one caller that we never gonna use yeah we won't use them but stick around after the show because we might have a special voicemail we're gonna play yeah that will be for people that aren't listening the podcast so let's just jump into it there's I love it because right before an Apple event so much news start to drop in this week is no different and I think the cool thing and Beach you'll be happy about this one that really the top story this week comes to us from the Wall Street Journal in a report that Apple has now finally really taken investing in original content seriously with a 1 billion dollar allocated amount of money of cold hard cash to spend on original programming and this is how long have we been talking about this like for them if they really want to get in the game they got again the game oh this is this is huge I mean 1 billion dollars that Netflix is actually spending still a lot more I think 6 billion in 2017 Pros billion upping it like an extra billion or something right but 1 billion is a good start and huh and I was gonna ask you Brian how do we get a chunk of that we we create content how do me people use Apple's apps to listen to our stuff for free oh but we do we do read we do read a sponsor so I can't with that put that past but let I just want to give you guys and gals a little perspective of how this whole industry is shaping up we know that Netflix clearly changed the game and really pushed forward they started though and they became who they are today because they had guess what hit shows so we talked about what Apple is trying to do unfortunately right now apples two shows per se are carpool karaoke which is entertaining but I'm not going to pay for a service to watch that and then we had planted of the apps which although the idea and I think the intent was fun the actual execution of the show everyone's pretty much pooh-poohing on it so if those are your first two to get people interested in a service that's not gonna cut it now Apple is investing the 1 billion dollars the other aspect of this if you compare it to what HBO is doing you know the home of Game of Thrones the home of Silicon Valley right great amazing content over there well they they're spending about 2 billion so Apple's budget about half of what Time Warner is doing but what you're seeing is really this race for content where everyone is now putting a mom on these you know really subscription-based services even Netflix right six billion dollars can you keep up with what is on Netflix you you know what Beechum you don't even have a subscription yet no but never so be high your so being high I'm Way behind yeah I'm like I dunno if I had a free extra person to put on my plan I would give it to you but I don't doesn't my whole family just rides it rides on my coattails bro it's fine I'm surviving with Amazon Prime and HBO go so I'm kind of no fee yeah I mean I don't know if you heard this one also but Shonda Rhimes right shaundalyn Ruffino shows like Grey's Anatomy scandal had a gate with get away with murder she left ABC and is now on board exclusively with Netflix Oh like that's how powerful Netflix has become as a destination for regional content now where Apple comes in here they have a billion dollars to spend that roughly you're talking about maybe if you're really allocating that properly you could invest in about let's say seven somewhere between seven to ten legitimate projects but the key thing is that they have to come out with some hits right oh sure house of cards orange is the new black those were hits I watched Netflix because of house of cards and I'm like okay I'm gonna do the damn thing right you need something like that and then there's also comes a point Beechum how many services you actually subscribe to right now that are original content services I mean you probably have prime but you have any others just just two right now just two just two service and those with the cable I mean cable you know what are the services you're locked into right now right now Amazon Prime HBO go and comcast cable that's about it okay yeah so do you think that you're at a saturation point where you already have too many services or do you feel like there is room for another one or two for you you know I've been trying out all these different services like I tried Hulu for a month I wasn't totally into it I tried was another thing I tried for a month YouTube TV I tried that for a month it was great it worked great but it didn't have enough stuff so I mean I think I'm cool right now like I don't I don't need a ton of content you know what I mean you know for me I literally I don't subscribe to Apple music I'm waiting for something compelling enough although you know I have a bunch of different music services that I'm on but Apple music for me that if they're really going to like they have so far put this stuff behind app it behind Apple music and if they come out with a really great show I think then that is a advantage for them with their ecosystem be like not only do you have our Apple music service you have our shows I'm just curious people that are watching right now are they do they feel like they have room to add another service on top of what they're doing right now like where you at tell us like are you what are you subscribed to three or four services five or six I mean you know you got Hulu Amazon Prime Netflix your cable provider HBO GO I'm curious where everyone is that because at the same time I don't think we've hit our saturation point like I feel like if the shows are good enough I'm definitely keeping Netflix no matter what I'm definitely keeping cable because of my support but then after that Amazon Prime is just a gimme right it's part of being an amazon user but I don't really watch stuff on Amazon Prime I I could fit another one in there is it gonna be Apple I I don't know they have to they have to show me they got the goods so this is gonna be interesting how it shakes out you know a lot of when you see people like Shonda Rhimes leaving ABC you're going to that's not the only big name that's gonna leave you you're starting to see studios or content traders or writers and producers go directly to Netflix now right now Netflix is the leader it's probably gonna stay that way for a while but I think there's still room for other competitors to kind of slide in here yeah you know that there's a bunch of producers probably hitting up Apple right now being like yo I got some ideas you know but a Palazzo has to get out of their way and let them be creative and make what they want to make instead of like trying to control everything and you know trying to censor what they're trying to do cuz we've seen that with Disney in the Han Solo movie with two directors leaving and like the same week or something and then they brought in Ron Howard they're like Oh Ron Howard is gonna fix it all and everyone's like you know Ron Howard what's he gonna do exciting but so so they really have to get out of their way and just let them produce and make cool stuff well I think though I mean not to say well actually because I don't do that but I do think the difference was that with the Star Wars franchise is that they have a voice they have a tone they have this kind of they have a way that they need to carry this feeling throughout all their movies and if director isn't on board on that they're not gonna drastically change the tone of the franchise everything Rogue rogue one was a unique offering because it's kind of its own Side Story so could feel like Star Wars but kind of not that's why I liked it a lot some people didn't but if you're talked about a han solo movie you can't get super creative I mean we've even seen this with directors for the Marvel Universe but I think what's different with the Apple kind of platform is that they just want the best content I don't think Apple's going to interfere with it this whole idea of them saying it has to be music related that's gonna have to go from the wayside if they really want some unique offerings that no one can put out there like don't tie it to a theme of music or a theme of apps or a theme of your services forget that you just need to basically outbid people for the best shows and movies that are coming out they're sitting on 260 plus billion dollars so out of all those companies out there they have they literally have the cash to do it it just comes down to in their DNA are they willing to throw all that money with the risk of it not working or not because ingrained and a company like that their culture is like we need returns on margins we need we need to make a profit guess what shows and movies don't always make a profit so there's a gamble there and I think it's like kind of maybe changing their mentality or their DNA of how they think because content creation is totally different than product creation yeah I have one more quick thought to like you're saying apples like concentrating on like music based television shows and stuff like that like they got to get away from making commercials because planet of the app was like a commercial for Apple's App Store exactly the music stuff that they're doing that's a commercial for Apple music they're like it seems like everything they're creating is like a commercial for Apple sort of you know or what is it the carpool karaoke I'm sure all those songs are like find it on Apple music so they just got to get away from that and just make something that's totally out out of the ordinary of Apple you know and you have you have like now some of the competitors right it's Netflix its Amazon its HBO Hulu CBS all access our parent company is coming out with their a Star Trek Discovery show which is kind of one of their to them that's like that's our bread and butter to get people in right you got to have a show like that Apple is going to get into it we're probably not gonna see any real fruits of this labor until next year so don't expect all sudden to drop like this amazing show on us because that stuff just takes time you have other content creators that are trying to get in it so it's gonna get crowded really fast in the next year but at the same time I mean it's just gonna come down to how much disposable income are people willing to allocate because they're watching less TV they're gonna be putting that money now arguably into these services so if your cable bill was around 50 60 bucks the whole goal was not to pay 50 60 bucks for cable anymore so what you're gonna maybe allocate 30 40 bucks to these services I think that's we're gonna find out where consumers really fall on that yeah that's a better number definitely better number so uh just I think it's really exciting though I'm happy to hear it as someone who has been begging for Apple to create original content they struck out on their TV subscription service we know that that that was a big fail in my opinion but other people may argue it's not I think it was because now everyone is doing it everyone is making money from it but we'll see how this plays out I think this this is a good sign that they actually care about this their jump into it and we'll see how it all pans out it just comes down to the people that make those decisions over there but also kind of some other exciting stuff in the Apple TV world we talked about how the home pod firmware from a couple weeks ago revealed that a new Apple TV will most likely if all you know all the strings in in the developer firmware pan out that it will be a 4k based Apple TV I'm kind of some small little things about Apple TV ESPN just announced and the app is officially out from what I gather I didn't I didn't get it on my Apple TV yet but their new app will allow you to basically stream up to four games at one time Veta a split screen so this is like perfect for the college football season coming up I mean if if you don't want to look outside for the day you can take full advantage of this I mean I think it's I think it's amazing cuz we've always been used to picture-in-picture this is four games at one time that is pretty cool but I can't imagine watching four games at one time but I can I could see this like in a bar or something you know like at someone's bar like you can have bunch of multiple games on the screen but I don't know if I'd watch four games at the same time do you like separate games like can I have like a golf tournament one in a football game but you know what's really cool about this you know I like the fact so here's one yes so for example it doesn't have to be sports games what it appears is ESPN put out a video clip and it shows off how not only it doesn't have to be force claims it can be - it can be a split screen of two different types of programming it doesn't have to be sports games it's all stuff that's on ESPN it could be a big screen with two little windows it can be versatile depending on how you use it they also said potentially one of those screens could be used dedicated for like scoreboards fantasy stats because come on if you had three screens and a fantasy stat ticker in the bottom right of those four screens that's kind of cray that's like that is oh they got gone they got golf on there when they have golf events on ESPN right this is all an event so that that makes it pretty sweet but what I like about this is finally it's taken so long but these are the type of apps that we want to see on Apple's platform that make it unique that you can't do anywhere else I mean I know you can do split-screen in other ways but in order just like they finally were like hey let's make the iPad pro a unique product of its own with iOS 11 that's what they need to do with Apple TV not only does it need to be 4k and these have killer apps like this to be able to do that to be able to make it special to make it feel like it's worth our money this is cool this is really cool um watching this demo I hadn't seen before and I want this on everything Comcast everything it's cool so that's really cool also another app that's coming out reports point to August the 22nd Vudu which is a video service I'm not sure if you all are familiar with it but I'll tell you why I know about is because I bought the very first moudou box they had like a an actual set-top box and I paid $300 for to get access to video streaming this is before a video streaming was like built into everything yeah that guy right I'm that guy but um they're they're making an app coming out August 22nd but what I find is really interesting about voodoo is that one of the things that made them special is they do HD streaming of not only HD streaming but 4k streaming content depending on in its it's typically linked to some of the most recent movies but there were a few places that are doing blockbuster movies if not the only 4k streaming through your set through whatever device you're using so they're bringing this app to the Apple TV in an August 22nd now the reason why that is interesting to me is because we've had all these rumors about a 4k Apple TV coming this year a voodoo TV app that supports or sorry a voodoo movie and TV app that supports 4k content it also supports Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos surround sound if you haven't heard it that's like blows your mind like this app will be able to do it with your TV so it just seems like this marriage of we are getting a 4k Apple TV sometime this year all the hints are there I don't think it's gonna come next I think we're gonna see it sometime this fall or at least for the holiday season that's cool you think yeah you think they're gonna announce it at the next big event probably I hope I hope so well the thing is their next event we still don't know the day for it typically it's early September so we will know you know we'll talk about it later but other rumors point to write an Apple watch iPhone and then Apple TV all announced in September I mean that's that's a lot of stuff but I think they've waited this long to kind of end this year on a high note like let's do the damn thing you know that's what I so foodie I'm not too familiar with voodoo it's like a Netflix but it's Walmart and it what does it cost you know how much it costs a month it's a free service it's just a video streaming service where you can buy movies you can also watch movies for free it's not a Netflix there's no subscription base it's just basically a video service and also if you're someone like me who buys blu-rays you get a digital code to be able to watch those movies digitally as well like through streaming oh that's cool that is cool so it's just another option the only reason why I like it also was like because studios are jerks sometimes they don't give you an iTunes code and you have to watch it through like the Warner Brothers app or a different app Vudu typically plays nice with everyone whether it's Disney Marvel content or Warner Brothers Studio stuff for Paramount so ultimately it works on Vudu and then it's platform agnostic so that's kind of cool to see oh there you go um last thing before we get to our little break the Apple TV we this I don't don't don't believe this but you can look at public seconds I don't I don't know what to think but there's this microblogging Chinese site where a lot of people leak stuff on it and allegedly someone leaked what is purportedly potentially an actual Apple TV like television set like a television it's like in like a testing room yeah like what is believed to be a television there's like other photos down there that you can click on it's like in this white glow a room it looks basically like a nice big silver flat team but it has like an Apple logo on the back on the rear side that everyone's like so this is an actual TV is this an old-ass picture that they're not doing anything with it to me it still doesn't make sense for Apple to make and release a TV purely from a profitability standpoint purely from the fact that the market is dominated it's not it's not easy for someone to be like hey here's just another TV that happens have an Apple logo on it has to do so much more differently and they don't need to they just just sell an Apple TV box so take it for what it's worth it's out there but if you're listening to this it's okay you didn't see it because it's probably fake do you think maybe like maybe there's a possibility Apple might have like developed this a long time ago and then like shelved it or something yeah totally I mean Apple has done thing remember they made the iPad before the iPhone that's right that's right yes so the things that we see have been the things that we finally see in our hands have been in development for like four or five years so a lot of times when Apple was like on that downturn they knew they were on the downturn they're laughing at shows like guys are like dude Apple what are you doing but then they're like huh I guess wait for four or five years then we'll show you planing and it's gonna take four or five years for them to turn that ship around so you know well we'll see we'll see how it all plays out but let's let's take a little moment for a little breather shall we let's do it ma'am all right check this today's show is brought to

all right let's jump over to Apple watch stuff a lot of juicy stuff here this kind of was the week of Apple watch stuff until the Apple TV news dropped according to reports the Apple watch Series three is in final testing which means it will be hitting mass production in the very near future which also means is expected to line up to be available to ship out sometime in September that would align conveniently around the same time as guess what's the Apple iPhone so that is a report from the economic daily news coming out of Taiwan based on their supply chain relationships but I thought this cool story we've heard a lot about LTE being part of the iPhone this week was really kind of hammered home that LTE will be part of this next Apple watch I'm sorry I said iPhone earlier LT will be part of this next Apple watch KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi quo our favorite our favorite scooper Ming Chi quo says that the iPhone is expected to launch this fall with LTE support it'll be the first time obviously for the Apple watch but it's unlikely to support direct phone calling and a lot of people are hoping that oh I could use this as a phone it's not necessarily the case just yet it sounds a little gray but what the report says is that because Apple is still trying to work on perfecting the actual user interface and data transmission of making just a call directly from your Apple watch they do he does believe that we probably may not see it this year however the Apple watch will support services like FaceTime audio Skype right we have these voice over IP services that the Apple watch could use and could leverage that LTE data so that is that's the latest report about this Apple watch the main the faces or the watch faces are still expected to be the same size 38 millimeters 42 842 millimeters but the real a main selling point this time around according to the reports is that it will be a the LTE version of the watch and there's people that are gonna want that I I have an Apple watch first gen so maybe I'll do the LTE one I don't know that it would have to I would want it to be able the thing is I don't want to call I don't want to do this I don't want to do this I don't have no problem doing that you know but is that is that this is because of real estate on the watch like there there's they're trying to find room for antennas and room for other things in the watch so they they're getting rid of the out or they're getting rid of the direct call ability well they're actually saying it's more of a kind of Apple perfecting the feature in the software so here's the other issue it's good you brought this up because I forgot to bring it up the actual Apple watch you know it doesn't have enough space to put in a full-on SIM card kind of like our phones right they didn't design it that way in the first place but it will support what's called isom it stands for embedded sim which is you know not a actual sim card you put in but a chip that is in the watch it'll be able to pair with your iPhone and basically sync it up so you'll have that same similar phone number at least that's what the reports are saying but the other trick about this is they have been talking to US carriers who are on board to sell and support this Apple watch but the e sim technology not the sim card technology but this embedded sim technology isn't supported by every carrier and so when you talk about internationally that could be a problem where stories were saying hey look this Isom isn't gonna be supported by every carrier so that means you won't everyone won't be able to use LTE for this Apple watch it'll kind of start as a slow rollout depending on where you live more than anything else which which is kind of a bummer but if that's just the way it is that's the way it is right there's no space for sim card so so do you think people should wait for the the next watch after that if they want to get clown or well I think well I think we have to ultimately we always have to see officially what Apple tells us about it maybe maybe they get it done in time right we don't really know this yet but if it's if you've always wanted phone calling on your watch I think that I'm more than happy using FaceTime audio in fact FaceTime audio sounds better oh yeah then LTE call anyways so if that's the case bring it on I'm totally cool with that it always trips me out when someone calls me and it's like through VoIP VoIP or whatever cuz it sounds so different it sounds like they're right next to you almost you know like the quality is like really iOS super it's super nice yeah that's cool so you know that we'll see we'll see how that all plays out other kind of reports are just saying that the form factor which was roughly rumored to change it's not gonna change we talked about the watch faces staying the same and then CNBC earlier said this week that yes the LTE reports are correct they also threw out no one has thrown this out yet that the Apple watch Series 3 will launch alongside the iPhone 8 at the September event we haven't heard any of the report confirm that or door also say yes that's happening so we'll wait and see we don't even have a date yet again for this new of this next Apple event so I'm just gonna we're gonna we're gonna chill on it cool gonna Apple watch in chill Apple watch it show you wait I forgot do you don't have an Apple watch when you get an Apple watch if you could call from it I I would if I could call from it I think I would I would get one just because you know it's just it's cool my watch my Casio which is really old it's dying right now so I'm like yeah watch so I have been thinking about it looking at Apple watches and stuff and if I can make a call from it that would be awesome boo-yeah so people people I think look that the rumblings are pointing at either September the 6th or September the 12th which is a Tuesday it's it we'll see where it falls again we don't really know no one's even given an inkling so the way man that's coming up yeah yeah alright let's get to this we've talked about the iPhone so much we wanted to kind of push it down a little lower because there are other stuff that was going on this week this is my favorite story this came out fresh today like this is new you this is new news so McDonald's put out this promotional email earlier today and then people started looking at it like wait what what what is going on here it appears that McDonald's used an iPhone 8 mock-up and an act mock-up to show off like a new app for McDonald's that has a pickup order restaurant locator with a special 25% off discount but the funny thing is in this email they used an iPhone 8 as the example to show off their new app and promotion this is so hilarious I mean did they get that from Apple or haha how does this happen no no let's see I think look I don't know where they got this but there's a couple flaws in this whole picture here so first of all yes it is it looks like it's from an iPhone mock-up right we've seen plenty of these throughout the internet I mean this one looks like one of them the other thing is if you look at the signal bars on the top left of the phone those are dots you know in iOS 10 they were dots but in iOS 11 which is the new operating system they are actual they went back to bars so that was a giveaway that some graphic artists a genius he's a genius McDonald this is marketing guy whoever does me I'm gonna give him that I will get him mad genius very smart we're talking dude the Apple by this time I'll McDonald's I'm loving it no but that is that is if I have a feeling this graphic artist is a tech fan you know cuz this is very smart thing to do cuz you got more attention to this to this app now like they don't need any more hey you know on that song that I pulled go to like the last ten seconds I've got to hear the ending of that hungry for the music gotta eat I'm loving the R&B version so thank you McDonald's for the lead the top story of the day put a smile on my face and get a little JT singing I'm loving it McDonald's yeah yeah do you know what it was actually an original song and then was adapt adapted for an TV ad but he has a song called I'm loving it that is original JT song you can look it up everybody and then they twist it around and manipulate it for the McDonald's ads which were like I actually was like I'll do that sounds good that's cool yeah if McDonald's like if I wrote a song McDonald's Kim like I want to buy your song I'm like sure yeah what when do you need it send it right away I'll change the lyrics and include the prize chicken McNuggets and officially in there for ya with special sauce shoot they should talk to the apple pie we could create a dope video for oh man yeah Oh call us holler McDonald's Apple oh you guys holy I hope we showed you some of those inside the Apple TV photos earlier talked about it for people that are listening check this out there were two leaks of videos blurry videos from inside potentially purportedly allegedly let's just throw those words out inside the factory a factory allegedly of workers polishing rows of what is believed to be iPhone 8 and then another video showed them all hanging on a rack like just dangling there on who knows but this is all leaked blurry ish but but now you can at least see stuff look video looks kind of legit I mean you don't know what that is I think it looks pretty legit to me I don't know what people think watching is that legit is that like a yes legit I don't it's a long line of long line of uh workers right there just working way those whose people are working hard and if someone complains about their job like I'm gonna show I'm let's put things in perspective man like oh my gosh right like could you met that's what we don't think about like that in a way this is kind of sobering right you've seen this video people like polishing your phone like there's like that's what they're doing all day just for us to have this like crazy $1,000 thing in our pocket it's like damn and then just imagine all the videos of people like destroying them on camera for YouTube use and stuff I look I you know me you know I'm against that I'm a hundred percent against that yeah I if I get fired for saying I think destroying a product for views I think that's total crap my bosses can holler me but I it's such you know people the thing is more like it started on YouTube and other people did it like do we really have to do that no yeah you know it's gonna break you like I shoot it with a high round like a high rifle round or something or drop it from the top of a building I think we're sure it's gonna break yeah like we're a technology website we should love technology we shouldn't whoo we should have destroyed it oh he's getting passionate about his passion is everybody yeah really we should not if you love technology don't destroy it that's all I'm saying like there's people like to thank you out that video okay I'm off my rocker you know like an inside look at how iPhone gets me and when I first saw it to I was like it's you know it's it's a little bit shocking is that that might be like Foxconn or something who knows what yeah yeah it's just so brain to me it's just so bringing me this perspective all right um as we transition over to something more we're talking about the iPhone 7s leaked schematics of the iPhone 7s have started to indicate or look to indicate that the phone itself the body itself will be slightly larger only by literally hundreds of millimeters larger in all dimensions height width and thickness oh okay so it's because right we know that this these new iPhones are reportedly going to have glass surfaces on the back and what that's believed to do is support wireless charging so in addition to that right if you're gonna have a phone that is a little thicker because of adding that layer of glass so there you go that that would make sense why the iPhone 7s will be at least a slightly thicker someone's someone on periscope like saved earth so we'll use that you want it's gonna be girthy girls dear now I mean like the thickness in Apple in like Apple measures like that's enormous right if you're someone from Apple like that's huge oh you know you know Johnny I've right now he's just he's just shaking his head like he's up shake it yeah I can't believe you made my phone thicker you can't take it dude you can't take it I'm just a quick also people have been calling us and asking us about the iPhone se just to let you know the last we heard about it is that it's rumored to come out sometime in early 2018 most likely really just a process or upgrade my hunch is that touch ID will still be on it because it's not like they're gonna put in the whole new face ID system maybe they will if it's cheaper but if it's the iPhone se it's that same form factor that's what you should expect just more of a faster processor to support the new ISO we'll see when that comes out but rumors say early 2018 nothing has pointed to us seeing it this September as well so yes okay you know what I think we should just go to the calls man let's do it let's do it I was trying to find this Q this up for uh you're talking about the iPhone se and you used to use I got a drop again powered okay that's that's classic man people that watch the Apple I know that's classic it's a classic yeah yeah you used to make the greatest oddball my favorite dance movie right now you go iphone SE alright alright thank you all for calling guys we got a lot a lot of good calls this week is like it took me in bTW like an hour to go through all the calls here we go call number one hi my name is Shawn I'm from Atlanta Georgia and with all the hype going around the iPhone 8 release you know and there being three iPhones this year everybody seems to get hyped on that but you know what's the plan for that phone into the future is Apple going to just have three phones from now on and you know how are they going to roll out the tech on the ice the iPhone future into the you know upcoming phones or is this gonna be a one and done deal thanks I love it first of all I love how he like mentally called it the iPhone future our indoctrination of getting that name spread has completely worth it's working yes it's totally working but Apple's not gonna use it um what I was gonna say is you know their Apple has made more money than ever with the multiple models of phones I think they're gonna stick to it this is Tim Cook's mo different levels higher margins on the higher phone different price points they took really the Samsung model of multiple size phones and adopted it themselves and they're making more money from it you know we skip the story because we want to get to the calls but in the based on our report the number who are the top two selling phone models this quarter from April to June it's the iPhone 7 at 7 and the iPhone 7 plus those are the top two selling phones so imagine if they only had one model fine it would be the top-selling phone but now you're talking about two phones at two different sizes and now we're gonna talk about three phones at three different sizes yeah there though it's most likely at least for an individual model not selling the most phones we know Android phones are gonna just destroy as a total how many iPhones are sold worldwide but for a specific model it's gonna be no surprise if at least see end up seeing iPhone 8 iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s plus on the top 3 the next time they do something we know once the iPhone is out for a good amount of time I would told it's totally believable to me so they're gonna stick with three models that like anything they always eventually roll out and adopt the new technology I think this 10th anniversary phone is kind of going to be one of those benchmarks where this is at least from a feature standpoint on new design because I know people like the iPhone is the same design over here yeah it pretty much is but this is kind of that next jump for an actual form factor that feels different although it may look the same it's gonna feel a whole lot different so that'll be kind of like eventually the 7s and stuff will go away just like they've always done just think about how they always done every two years basically that new form factor comes in I think it's it might also be a little heavier if it's more glass on there I feel like it's gonna be a little heavier so it might feel a lot of hands yeah it might be yeah okay next call here we go hey yeah what's up this is Austin from Monticello Arkansas anyway my question for you is do you think since space ideas coming to the iPhone 8 and touch ID won't be included since they couldn't get to work under the glass and future iPhones they will even use touch ID anymore if face ID works on how they plan do you think that the iPhone 7 7 is could be the last iPhones we see to actually include touch ID all right yeah things have a ghulam the answer is with exception of an upcoming updated iPhone se absolutely I think those will be the last two phones that have touch ID because they're trying to get under that glass that that's the goal not only are they trying to do it Samsung is trying to do it other companies are doing it Qualcomm themselves I believe it's Qualcomm already has the prototype for a fingerprint sensor through the glass that will be they'll start selling those components sometime in early 2018 so it's coming not only to Apple but to multiple manufacturers cool alright next call hi this is cat from tokyo i'm an american but i currently live here and i'm wondering about the ipad mini I have an iPad Mini 2 and I want to buy a higher storage one and I'm afraid they won't make an iPad Mini 5 there's blowout sales all over the city for iPad Mini 4 should I buy one I don't like the size of any bigger iPads like the iPad Mini 4 is for me unless I make a 5 what should I do what should she so we wanted to show love the cat because look we have a rule here on the Apple bite if you're a girl and you call your gonna get on the show but I do not want you guys to be calling in squeaky high voices pretending to be girls just to get your call on do that now someone is going to do that I love peach and Todd is Krisha whoever I'll let one of those through but you better ask a good question all that one through that's will let one through yeah yeah so eight I don't know the next they just announced the iPad door they just dropped the price of the iPad Mini 4 I don't think we're gonna see an iPad Mini I think that's gonna go away in about two years I don't think we're gonna see it anymore because we have these large screen phones it's obviously cannibalized that and then the ten point five inch iPad is the same size roughly as what the iPad 9.7 is used to be I think that many is great I would I would still love if there if somehow I don't I'm not saying like actually no I would put it if I had a car and I wanted to install an iPhone it I would put it 7.5 inch iPad in the - if I could I always wanted to put an iPad in my - but it just wasn't ready yet so you know what I don't I don't I think it's gonna be gone in about the next few years I really do it would be dope to have an iPad in your - I haven't diamond thought about that that'd be cool I mean that's kind of the Elon Musk are that what did they called the test yes yeah they all have like an eye like not an iPad three model three yeah yeah they have like a table model that looks cool I like that I'm on that waiting list cuz I'm like I'm gonna put down the deposit because by the time I get it maybe I'll be ready to get a car but if not oh well word yeah well I mean that'll be done let's go over lesson roll out together man that's good that's roll skip I hit on some chicks in it just kidding honestly that's like a nerd car it's like it's not a hot car like a nice not no sports car it's like oh hey there's that tech bro guy in the car and his Tesla Model 3 I just wanted like have the self-driving feature on and watch movies on my iPad in the dashboard I like that yeah yeah alright next all thanks Karl hey this is Trevor from Seattle do you think the power button is being enlarged on the iPhone 8 because there might be a possibility of them adding touch ID on to it or no power button change yeah there's rumors you know the designs are shown an elongated power button there are phones that have had a fingerprint sensor on that power button I believe Sony phones have incorporated something like that forgive me if I'm wrong internet world who knows everything more than all of us combined so we're not always right but if if they needed to integrate that in the future and that is an option by elongating the power button maybe there's no reports that's so anything that indicates that the next iPhones will have it so we will wait and see but that it's all speculation right now like a lot of the stuff that we talked about but guess what we're listening it's fun because we love talking about this stuff so we'll see I can't lie I called you a while back about a question about Joe breaking but I'm a big time jailbreak fanatic I love my Apple products when I get to jailbreak it dude Apple has been tightening down so hard on the jailbreak people and not allowing the Joe brace to pull through annual I bro I'm kind of thinking about ditch at Apple yeah you know apples cool and stuff but did you know it's friggin boring at the same time you know you can't theme it you can't download music from Pandora or anything like that unless you got a premium subscription I kind of like all that stuff I don't know let me know what y'all think much love homies much love everybody y'all be good peace I love I love the positive vibe on that call I love the fact that I feel like that homeboy right there if he saw me on the street or he saw us on the street he would just talk to us just like that oh yeah that's like that was like that's real I'm look if he's gonna leave he's gonna leave I mean you're not the thing is you're not gonna leave it was getting I kind of agree with him that I've boring now you know it's like the same thing that we've had for 10 years now so it is it is kind of little boring you know it is born until it unlocks with your face we're gonna do thanks uh yeah we're gonna be excited about that like the first two times we do it I think that's gonna be like like day 1 day 2 in your face Samsung Samsung users me like yeah I've had this for a while bro yeah problems do that alright next call we got to this one I'm gonna have to cut it off early cuz this guy went a little long so let's let's try this bitch in town what's up just again Houston Texas want to quickly go over the iPhone for Life program I don't know how it is for every carrier but with least the one that I'm working with if you aren't quite at that 50 percent mark like say you're 12 months is and December not at September you just have to pay the remaining month so if you got a $27 a month iPhone 7 and you got three months left before you're at your halfway mark well 27 times 3 that's what you're paying whatever $77 is and then trade in your phone and then you're part of that iPhone for life so you can still do it even if you're not smack dab on that 12 month cycle I love a show Houston Texas always listed when I'm driving to and from work love the iPad pro 10.5 great Apple awesome product okay he's like anything you say it's a good I was like great Apple I'm telling you that is that is one hell of a product this year I mean I got to give a major props specifically with iOS 11 specifically so so what do you think it the apple the Apple iPhone 4 life thing so he's saying if you want to get the next iPhone you have to pay off what you which you would owe for the then yeah Apple months or whatever you have left over basically whatever is left on that contract you sign to cover it and then turn in your old phone that makes sense I mean that's why we have people call because I don't deal with it that way so there's a lot of people that are curious and it's a it's a unique to me it's not unique to me it's everyone does things like that so that's good to know yeah okay we got two more they're real short so let's not okay this is Allen brim from Texas tips and cards take longer Apple pay takes longer face recognition will take longer but Apple fans don't care I can't I don't want things that take longer Apple pay does not take okay hold up Apple pay is fast well he's he's talking about when we get the new facial unlock we don't know how we don't know how fast it's gonna be though we I'm all I'm saying is I can't I'm never gonna speak on it or judge it I mean we might give hot takes cuz that's what we're basically doing most of the time but to say like it's slower we don't know that but I get what out i get what my man was it Alan I get what he's saying yeah we had a lot of colors from Texas this week I know I guess we got a everything's bigger in Texas Apple buy extra twenties big in Texas bro yeah don't mess with Texas baby love it that's where I was born okay really yeah Houston Texas baby space city okay here's the last call we got this is trail from Texas and I was had a question about Cameron iPhone 8 this coming but you get a black eye or something oh I swell and lip is swollen you're gonna have a phone as your phone still gonna be able unlock and what is this guy's name again hang on a second me hi this is Trey from Texas well it really trails real brill / l / l yeah he gets in a lot of I think does he get a lot of fights you think like is he boxing or sodium oxide no he's worried about fat lips and a black eye well here's here's the thing I don't I actually think that the pigment if how this if Apple is smart and they've seen what's happened with a lot of other technology gadgets that aren't able to pick up on changes or darker skin tones or pigmentation differences the fact is that this infrared sensor or you know will be able to not only look at your face but I'll have some ability to capture the depth of your face which means it could create a rough wireframe of your face in addition to who knows exactly what they're doing if it's a combination of iris scanning facial scanning depth sensing and then also the ability to really see if you're a living person like right if you're I know not moving or blinking because it's gonna have to register faster than that but there was some aspect of that facial recognition as a whole all of these different pieces being used together so I don't think it's gonna just rely on like as if you were a photo that stayed the same all the time let's hope not let's hope that like you know you know I'm saying like we've seen all those stupid things like there was recently I I can't remember it was like a soap dispenser that like worked on a white paper towel but not on like a black dude tan you don't I'm saying it like stuff like that Michael chin in certain apps that couldn't pick up people that had dark skin tone so it's like that we've seen that a bunch so I'm pretty sure that I'll give them the benefit that down until it happens but there are the type of coming that tends to think about a lot of those things in general tends to I would love to see their like testing facility where they're testing is stuff like giving it to different people and try this out okay didn't work let's get another guy in here real quick that's it then we're done we're done all right thank you so much everyone for hanging out with us always loved having you and talking
