it's time to parlay this conversation into what we're kind of experiencing in the iOS 10 beta the public beta is out if you have an Apple device you can get it on your tablet on your phone whatever the hell else they make what have you played around with it at all briefly um Jacob put actually on his iPhone I refuse to put it on mine why is that because we talked about this today on foreground betas or BS well it's a number of things I'd done the beta on my 6 plus last year and the the the releases for it aren't there's there's no rhyme or reason for the releases and then wait what is that the the update for the bay there's no rhyme or reason because there's certain things that may not work or may work like deauxma players that's a developer thing but and um and then when the full one comes out there sometimes a problem just pushing that through sometimes you just wind up having to write to download and forces like you know what I'll just wait last thing I do is try to make a phone call and have that be the one feature not work yeah I'm pretty sure that's a safe bet that that'll always right it's funny even even like my my my mom who's very disconnected from like the you know keeping track of iOS updates she's always like yeah I'll wait till the point one comes out just because I know I gotta let that dust settle a little bit and she's not wrong really it really has they have to shake the cobwebs out of that thing before you can get a reliable there's so much pressure to keep putting something out to stay innovative is to keep ahead that a lot of times we become the beta testers even even totally like don't don't don't be mistaken they are collecting data on on how the beta goes and you know taking that under consideration so you are you familiar with any of the new features or is there anything about ten are sort of psyched about um the text features probably fun back and forth with you know my son so forth the lift when you lift it up in the notification seems pretty cool to swing the notification sounds like they're spending a lot more time on the lock screen to read that the lock screen isn't cool notifications um what I would love and hopefully they'll do it is maybe under the settings with 3d touch yeah if they'd enable it where you can customize it because you don't think I really want to go to another three really quickly from the settings would be to turn my hot spot on and off I think that would be really cool i mean i'm not sure if they did anything with that um what else did they do with that thing well well tie your you're an Android guy right like myself you've seen an iphone have you touched one I had I think the last iOS I had a virus 55 okay I had a big smile oh he's touching you I had these the 4s or the four right so and then I went to Android what so you've been there for a while me personally I am indifferent like I am an Android guy because I happen to like that OS better right um I don't I think if something came along attractive enough from an iphone I would switch I've just never been presented with an opportunity to be like oh this is the time to switch over is there something that would would convince you to consider making the switch I don't know if the design was good enough yeah I think that that particularly the iphone is sort of being in a kind of holding pattern design wise right I think the fall was probably the nicest and there was a throwback was it the 6s had the glass back again no the day before before I said that was the last of the glass okay Lex I like that designer for that phone yeah i think you know you get a lot more variety obviously with android you've got hundreds of different models you can choose from that's a mixed blessing right that's all right that you deal with fragmentation and issues like that right and the fact that each manufacturer has to modify the OS to fit your phone why get it by six months or that's why you buy nexus and that's the Nexus have had some really nice phone definitely ah Mike in the control room tells me there is a question from the chat room yeah guys so a Nicholas says if there's one thing he doesn't like about iOS 10 it's clicking the home button to unlock the phone so because there was a big change with the notification screen and the unlock screen right and on YouTube we had someone who asks i'm not sure if we know its definitively yet though did Apple fix the battery problems with iOS 10 on the iphone 6s I don't know about that with the battery stuff it might be too early to tell yeah I mean when you're in bed you can never rely on battery yeah i mean i would assume it burns your battery quicker yeah um I think one thing that's also overlooked when it comes to the whole iOS Android thing is money invested um I have the first iphone and didn't get another iphone again until the 4s but I did get an ipod touch in between that and i purchased a number of songs speaking of which everybody was talking about purchases and at that time Apple had you locked because they were you know the music was encrypted yeah so you know between music purchased movie purchases apps purchase sometimes you're kind of just locked there because you spent more money on your library than you actually did on the device and I do and I have like from the first generation ipod touch have been purchasing stuff through it so I mean I'm well invested in that maybe if there was an incentive program where let's say you wanted to buy an android device and developer said hey you want Angry Birds for such-and-such if you're switching from iOS will give you a discount or something like that they may they may inspire a jump between but that's probably another reason why a lot of people's probably stay with where they are they just defend it till then because no one wants to you on the sinking ship so to speak all right you have your marching orders mr.
