2016-09-30
song here we go from the Giant Bomb studios in San Frisco California it's the apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. brian Tong what up what up everybody welcome it's the apple byte extra crunchy extra munchy i believe we're in episode 57 57 57 here going strong again this is the show all about Apple everything you could think about that's Apple we want you all to be a part of the show we love hearing your calls we've got some representation from the ladies today as well with the phone call we love so call us at one eight hundred 61 62 63 eight this is voicemails we are not taking live calls we are not in our studio that can handle live calls so you just won't get that right now but this is where you leave your name where you're from your comments we even have people now giving us feedback when we don't know things because we don't know everything yes they're telling us what's up so we appreciate it all we need that you guys and gals all make the show what it is so let's just get into it right now top story of the week really top story overall is the latest update people continue to ask me all the time what's going on with new macbooks when are they coming and we've expected them to come out in October there is no official date for any announcements at the moment but going to MacRumors they have learned that Apple is rapidly moving towards a launch of the new macbook pro models they're currently working and tweaking out macos Michaels Michaels 10-point 12.1 it's really focused specifically on getting the operating system up to date to support the new hardware features on these new MacBook Pros and for those of you that don't know just to catch you up to speed some of these MacBook Pro features include this new OLED touch bar that's going to take over where you normally see like the function keys it's supposed to be able to adapt based on what type of apps are actually using so it could be if it's a media app like iTunes you would see controlling controls at tracks on there if it maybe change to something like a messaging app you would see different things there as well or even photo editing apps or a browser like safari get some hot keys there so that's really the big key thing and again we have seen a touch bar like LED bar on actual computers of the razor line has them but this is going to be apples implementation of it we'll see how it all comes together now they're finishing tweaking Makos 10-12 one they are also a hardware and additionally in addition that is touch ID support so you can do payments on the laptop directly as well as a shifting over to the Polaris graphics chip family that that's from AMD on the higher end 15 inch models the goal is that there'll be public beta testing 10 12 10 next week the with the goal of finalizing it and then being able to roll this out actually install that on the hardware and to make an announcement as in late October most likely the SEC second to last week or the last week of October which is typically what is described as late October yes just a just a Philly pre-halloween pre pre pre November before Thanksgiving around Halloween so um that's all we know right now there have also been many rumors that not only the new macbook pros will get updated MacBook Air will get new USB seaports and imax will get a new AMD graphics chips before the end of the year I think the biggest thing that everyone is also still asking me about is when will we actually see Mac minis and Mac Pro's getting updates because they haven't seen them in years as in two to three years depending on the product a long time to wait a long time to wait we had someone ask about it last week there still are no rumblings whatsoever that we're gonna see anything like that I'm so it'll be interesting that they've got it at least give us a little bump but for now that's where we stand with the new macbook pros are you are you in the market at all I am NOT no no I'm happy with my pc that's my acer aspire touch screens right that's right Windows 10 but if you asked sleek little laptop fast don't lie I know you're you're so I the thing is that I wish Apple made a dang touchscreen laptop I know serious seems like it's no-brainer and something that they can easily do and do it beautifully and amazing like look at this I locked up right here and I know that's what I kinda you guys just touch it and you know this is not this is not right this is not right um what else could be coming at least from a touchscreen standpoint let's talk about the ipad pros we just recently revealed from patently Apple that apple is planning to utilize and invent a magnetic array system within the ipad family that's going to allow it to do multiple things now the first thing this is a no-brainer and everyone thought they should have had this from the start because if you have a surface you know that the pen can magnetically attached to the surface tablet well apples pencil will be able to securely attached to the ipad pro based on this patent diagram drawing showing that the Apple pencil can cling on have you heard of that a song um um pineap-- Apple was it pineapple PAP pineapple pen Apple pen no okay can you look at all i'm talking yes yes just look it up on youtube while I'm talking okay if you find it we're gonna have to play is it pineapple just type in like pineapple pen apple pen this is sign Apple it's it's a guy with a white background with a oh I have I have heard about this I just want people to listen to this and then it's plenty after the ad then they can look it up just boost it up whenever you feel like it I will talk about other ways that um this thing goes let's see if this is okay I don't know if the sound is working on this it's alright honest oh it's not dang it it's ok we will revisit in another time rooms like come on play it play it I'll just give you my enough sugar in this adorable man been okay all right it's it's ridiculous um other ways that the magnetic array can help out with the ipad is that they're using it to hold a pencil but also they're talking about how they can implement it with an actual ipad case oh here we go that's the perfect beat that you need for this song pineapple okay okay okay with it I could listen to it all day people on periscope like I can't hear it I can't hear this song by never been so anyways magnets in an iPad protective case so the case would have magnets the iPad itself would have magnets and when it detects that it's falling the sensors along the lines of the accelerometers and gyroscopes would be able to detect this and basically using these electromagnetics they could like they're trying to hope that it could essentially like helped shift the ipad within the case a little bit to protect it what like I'm solely in that light glowing I don't want to say like slide the ipad with another case but kind of like this I don't think this is coming anytime soon but think about if there was an ipad with like a rubberized case and it was there's a gap kind of around it and when you drop your case the mat or drop the ipad the magnets would then kind of activate on the side that wouldn't take the impact of the damage ice to sauce the ipad that's weird it's weird I me again this is all this is all a I love to throw ideas out there is some guy has a patent idea and they're like yes I'm fungal on it just for fun right so that could be one way and then the other one that we've been waiting forever how about connecting two ipads together to make like a bomb screen right that's dope right gimme edge-to-edge glass on an iPad magnetics a double screen up come on come on son it's cool i would i would take that in a second so those are some of the pads if you look them up on patently Apple in regards to their new magnetic array system these are ideas we don't know if this is actually going to happen but this is definitely what they're talking about what if you can just connect like as many ipads together as you wanted but i would do that the possibilities are endless i was having a ray dad's you could get some cool like visual display like you know like an interactive display it like a retail spot or something like that it'd be cool if you're wondering what else Apple might be up to Apple has submitted a mystery wireless device with Bluetooth and NFC to the FCC so this was an apple filing it was for a nondescript wireless device uh character characteristically they don't tell us what the name of this thing is is because they're trying to keep it a mystery the model number has been identified as a 1844 but why is that important is because it doesn't line up with any current existing Apple products um the actual regulatory label shows that the device has two Torx screws it doesn't seem to be very big some people are under the impression that this is not anything related to an apple TV this could be a while ago Apple had talked about these things called ibeacons that would basically could be placed in retail locations if you're walking into a store you're near a beacon it transmits to your phone and shows you those you likely sale or like you're near yeah you're like near a promotion that's things like that so it could be the ibeacon technology that this actual devices it's nothing else we it's other than a wireless it's a wireless as a mystery wireless device see my first thought when i heard it was a mystery wireless device was that it was that wearable that people gonna wear in the hospital to keep track of your biometrics whatever i don't know that was just like the Apple watch yeah that's the first thought that came with yeah you're like what could it be what could it be see I like this because Beecham doesn't necessarily know oh are you gonna give me more of that believe it or not it's just miss me sorry believe it not total tangent this is great song hahahaha so um before we go to our break which will not include more singing this video came out I think pretty much today or is at least put out today online I love it it's an angry customer in a france or at least in a french apple store we don't know exactly which store who basically goes on like a tirade yeah and starts razy smashing like somewhere around 16 iphones bash down on this to back to back to back here you can every time he hears the sorrel armed security listen carefully you'll hear a smash boom ivo boom boom iphone broken but he's literally pulling them out of like the charging docks laying them on the counter and then smashing each one it's painful painful to watch I don't I don't necessarily think he's like breaking everyone he's just breaking the screen y'all he's smashing the screen yeah so we would you say oh he's talking in French yeah so he said he's basically saying that Apple is a company that violated European consumer rights they refused to reimburse me he doesn't explain why he wants his money back so you know what's happening this is happening that's what he said and then he smashed another phone it walks away like the boss later on there's videos security is like kind of chess Oh get a laptop right there he got a laptop on that way yeah that hurts daddy ouch anyways there you go a man in an apple store just going cray-cray what we were talking about this before the show like the security guards they restrain him and I'm just like I'm just like if there's a guy running around like destroying things like I'm not going to touch him I'm gonna call the police yeah stay far away from it i am I gonna do there like risking their lives to save you know an iphone or something this guy is dangerous so that's that's the tough thing now with security guards at mall shopping centers period I mean these are there it's not like there aren't there's a lot of threats out there now and it's dangerous women a skirt it's dangerous you know and these people are just trying to maintain order and peace they're not even you know armed with anything and they've got to deal with clowns like that like I've got mad love for all you guys here so let's let's let's lighten the mood real quick lighten the mood rope fast okay okay that's also better you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna thank me later for pineapple pineapple pen I'm already thinking you I'm like I love it don't worry you know you know you know we're gonna we you know we're gonna go revisit that on the apple byte I gotta stop I'm dying all right let's get to our sponsors at idevices calm we have talked about them all the time really we're not going to read the same things that you have heard every time but I'm going to talk about it so basically I devices they have a line of connected home products if you aren't familiar with them they include like smart plugs a Wi-Fi thermostat a rain tight outdoor smart plug even a socket adapter that takes your dumb light bulb that typical one that you have and turns it into a smart one I have used I devices it's hooked up into Siri and Alexa what time is it see I know there's at least five guys those guys made that have an echo and a Alexa way you guys you guys got to get

lights are on and off i have scheduled lighting at my house now that scheduled by have mr. else I schedule my life like when like in the morning or what I don't know I make sure my lights go off at midnight and oh there we go out at 8 45 f we leave the house enough to worry about it it's actually really you guys got to get it yeah i-i've only I live in an apartment so I can't and I have roommates and I can't like completely let it take over the household or apartment so I have it in my bedroom and i'll have like i have two smart bulbs above the bed and i have this little mini hallway to get to my bedroom so I technically have a hallway and a bedroom and a bathroom so it's like so I you know I've torqued it out so that it it's completely smart and I'm laughing because I imagine you like walking in a room like putting your arms up in me like I'm home and then every day like turns on your Apple you're mad turns on it works so I'll be lie ve opens up i'll straight up I'll straight up say stuff like Alexa turn on my bedroom or alexa turn on my hallway and then when I leave I say turn off my room and everything goes off and you feel like a boss like you don't get tired of doing

a second it's like intimate for a moment it's one of my favorite parts of the week lock holy cow holy cow all right let me unlock my computer screen so we can continue with the issue with the actual show but you know if ever if ever we get stuck there's always one place we can go to my friend with the pineapple pen all right let's check this out latest update a new study by JD power they have they're always they have their kind of like consumer satisfaction survey has ranked Apple the highest in overall Apple music the highest and overall customer satisfaction based on competing against seven streaming music brands and based on these different key areas performance and reliability ease of use cost of service content communication and customer service so they have this based on a 1000 point scale 4500 about 4,500 people responded to this survey that have paid for a subscription service in the last six months Apple music ranked the highest with a score of 8 34 out of 1000 Rhapsody was 826 Pandora was 8 25 and Spotify wasn't 824 I'm shocked that Spotify is in fourth place on that but this is all based on you know someone who might have just purchased it and then just made a decision I I find these to be kind of I wouldn't think this was reflective like for example Rhapsody was at number two well Rhapsody is like I know you've cornered a market a long time ago I know but I was surprised that I would think that they would be like mine Apple music yeah but at the same time look Rhapsody Pandora Spotify ER or 826 825 824 that's basically even that's basically a second place so yeah what is the what do they call it percentage of error here when I don't know that but though they're they're basically saying those rankings are essentially the same I the biggest omission to me as they used they had seven streaming music brands title wasn't included on this title did not even make it didn't even register that that's a new industry average made the cut I don't know what that is is that title but nothing is the title announce that there around four to five million paid subscribers apples somewhere round I think 16 million right now and i believe spot if I just hit 40 million I've one timeout paid subscribers um from that standpoint but these are here's the thing it makes sense if these are new subscribers within the six months that Apple is the highest in general just because Apple can has the most buzz it recently came out in the last year and that a lot of people look if you already have 40 million Spotify subscribers that means you've had a lock on those customers for long oh yeah yeah so yeah plus I mean just brand cachet Apple music Apple iTunes like just just that alone it's like a juggernaut look people don't forget that they may not always make the best product but just because they're the apple machine and the apple ecosystem people are gonna buy their stuff like it happens to me for example i love my echo I don't want anything to replace my echo but I could see this Apple echo like device that we talked about last week could be hotter it could replace it if it can read your text messages read you know like read your emails like just stuff like that just totally that are already part of your iOS ecosystem if it can actually work somehow with Apple TV like they there's there's ways that it can do things that if you're in the ecosystem there's advantage tell me my calendar you know yeah tell me my missed calls are say I don't pay attention my missed calls yeah tell me am I you know I do like the new Apple music app then I o is the redesigned version yeah it's bigger buttons yeah it's a little easier than it looks its way clean its way cleaner navigate I like how it looks like the album covers like popping off the screen that's that was one of the focuses on album art it's true they call it drop the drop shot yeah yeah just just like the the transparencies in the drop shadow yes good job Apple thank you for fixing that hooyah do you subscribe Apple music yet I was almost going to do it now I was one of the you know when they give it to you for money I did I do I didn't renew it so but i like how Apple music is laid out better now then I was be firm and try so it encourages me more to give Apple music a shot another thing I thought was cool was now you can like share your music right there to your uh what is it what is the serve it like the myspace kind of I forget what it's good which one memorable the item and the apple thing why I'm forgetting it we're just gonna talk about how I like that you could share it so easily you mean just just being able to share it what share with others you mean through I message no it's like it's like you know it's like the myspace that for apple for for itunes or what do they call it every chat room help me up please it what what is Apple's out their social but nets connect I stopped told I'm completely ignored connect I know but like if you're an artist or you have like album on iTunes it's cool just to be able to bun just share to connect to share yeah so alright that's cool uh other music information that's kind of fun drake's album views has exceeded 1 billion streams on Apple music Apple awarded him with this cool like plaque and everything to kind of show thanks for him he's looking tough drizzy drake views as a dope album let me tell ya that's a new you know that's the new gold record now yeah we also honored this album last year yeah yeah I don't have a little low end on this app on this uh oh it's ok yours laptop there's not a below ender sorry if you don't know I phone at five se then you see you got you got to watch that thing you gotta watch this for me screens how can I remember this phone in see our yeah we can't see ok it was stop it people like what are you guys talking about search it up and he just take a poo right there yeah the just just look up what is it hotline bling iphone we're dealing just there yeah it's it's all it's pretty epic I don't know why we had a fun time making that alright so drizzy drake 1 billion streams on Apple music this one talking about just like apples media services I was surprised by this and I love this because I actually watched a lot of shows on the CW network don't judge CW's new Apple TV app does not require a cable subscription to watch this is not a common ladies and gentlemen is that for a limited time not the we know I doesn't look like it no login no subscription just free this is for this fall CW's Apple TV app okay shows that you might recognize that you might watch Supergirl yeah the flash the flash is one of the best shows on TV right now sorry it's huge holy crap that shows amazing jane the virgin arrow arrow another good one but flash kinda like destroyed the arrow now so you know just I zombie dc's legends of tomorrow and like show fell flat I was like trying to do too much I'm sorry I'm like a hardco i watch all the comic book stuff right it's like that's that's what it's all about so um anyways check it out the CW app you can watch those shows I haven't downloaded the actual app so I don't know if it'll give you access to the past shows but it is ad-supported a flash I things going into season three and arrow would be going into season is it yeah season three in season four so um we'll see how that all shakes out but that's a pretty pretty killer app and I think other company should start doing that right no yeah no barrier to enjoy when I'm trying to watch something on like Roku or Amazon and have to go log in and then get on my phone and like typing it's a pain and it's a pain in the butt okay that's great so we have that also on black hat security company zero diem has increased their bounty to 1.5 million dollars to encourage people to try and find in zero zero-day vulnerability in iOS 10 which they claim is much harder to exploit a zero-day vulnerability is pretty much think of it as one there the company Apple themselves doesn't know about it and so because they don't know about it they have 0 days to basically react and prepare for them so this is like find an exploit that no one knows about and if you do they will be rewarded 1.5 million dollars and like I said it's extremely harder versus iOS 9 to be able to do this at the moment so um that's why the raise in the bounty they're trying to challenge they're trying to a never challenge a hacker like let's I don't know how because she's 1.5 million if I wow if I even had remotely had any skills I would totally try that I just I know totally failed dedicate my next six months to see better fast if you guys want to check out a lot of talk about iphone stuff we just kind of have a little bit of batch of iphone use the iphone 7 camera test from dxo labs they publish like this in depth iphone 7 camera review they've called it a solid evolution over the 6s the single lens smartphone achieved an overall dxomark mobile score of 86 topping the iphone 6s by just two points but trailing the count samsung galaxy s edge and five other devices so you know there's always a debate of who really has the best camera on the market iphones in that conversation but yeah it's not necessarily the best which one which iphone was this this is a iphone 7 they're just comparing yeah not not the plus they're just specifically talking about the single lens I'm jet black I phones also face a global shortage as new colors provide difficult to manufacture this is actually crazy so hmm check this out jet black right the the cool color that Apple is like yo you got to get this I mean look this is a jet black iphone right here you can you tell dirty though it looks dirty well I have it in a case because I don't want to get a rat face is dirty okay it's well it's silly because you have this great looking phone it's gonna scratch super easy super easy little scratch scratch test was like bruises brutal right so get this the yield rate so meaning like they put this case that this case is made through specific treatment it goes through this 9 step anodization process but according to reports the yield the production yield rate of 60 / sets at seventy percent of cases are accepted meaning that thirty to forty percent of the units that they make do not even pass apples quality standards and have to be retooled ooh so if you make a million cases only 600 700 thousand those are going to be usable because this case is so hard to process and manufacture that's actually pretty crappy that is crappy haha it's a lot of waste man and I've got to imagine it's because it's so scratch friendly that you know like you can literally rub the jet black iphone on a regular desk surface a smooth surface yeah and it's gonna scratch you know I remember gonna scrap I have that iphone 5 for like two years and I never took it out of the case I mean yeah okay never never maybe just like clean it or sometimes you're like hellas I don't totally like scratch down inside the cave by the case yet like little things get in between the case and the phone yeah little debris scratchy scratch bums me out okay it's okay keep your head up also look I've been people have been ripping on me about the fact like on Twitter I talk about my struggles with the iphone 7 and the lack of a headphone jack and then I go just get bluetooth wireless just um you know yeah just use my pear-pod yeah it's like just buy a new headset you'll be fine but this is the problem here right okay Kickstarter's all these like IndieGoGo there's a lot of people that are trying to make a solution and guess what because Apple helped us out with that everyone's looking for some sort of a dongle right so this company I el doc lets you use a wired headphone get it get check out this novel idea a wired headphone while charging your iphone 7 because you can't charge it and listen to it at the same time right now I gotta say the doc is pretty it is very sleek and pretty but it's funny that Apple works so hard to make our phones so small that now we have to like hang all kinds of crap off of them Mina I'm like they wind up being bigger looking bigger and uglier in the end so I get what they're doing this this whole wireless Bluetooth iphone thing they're ahead of the transition it'll be worth it in like two years 223 should like then really people will all start getting it but here's my issue everyone says why i use the dongle adapter and i use standard headphones okay everyone's like why don't you just use apple's lightning headphones with your iphone 7 right well here's the problem those freakin lightning earbuds only work with the iphone 7 so if I'm traveling if I need a plug in my headphones to like another like let's say let's say you want to plug in your headphones into an airplane I travel a lot airplanes don't have lightning port know so I use the old school 3.5 millimeter head Jack with the dongle all the time one time when I was walking on the airport I pulled my phone out of my pocket with my headphones the dongle separated from the headphones I didn't realize it and then I tried to plug in my 3.5 millimeter jack headphone into the iphone 7 it didn't work and so I walked back maybe 20 yards and then found my dongle on the ground I'm like this is this is what we're dealing with yeah this is like this is what we're this is what they gave me that is that is that's the nightmare that everyone has like I'm gonna lose this dongle and you lost yours but you got like you found is you'll have multiple headphones that need dongles uh like at work you know like I said sure I phone uses lightning laptop doesn't have a lightning port on it yet a for audio so what are you gonna do right I you switched between I members like buy new headphones I'm like dude brah yeah so it's like I gots an older pair of headphones that I just plugged into my laptop at work but it's like this is stuff that we never had to deal with before I know right a whole new world haha look I haven't had to deal with it yet because I'm still on the 66 s so I'm rush straight headband but you know I do walk around I have my headphones and I'm like I hate this wire I want to get rid of this wire you like to do it okay my my advice to anyone who wants wireless headphones my favorite I mean I've been a fan of their brand for god knows how long at least 10 years the bose quietcomfort bluetooth the whatever i think to the QC 35s now think of the 35 is not the 25's there they're my favorite headphones hands down Bose is the bomb for traveling the noise cancellation is sick oh yes if you want noisy data later blame dude for sure you're gonna knock out with those things so that's I would just I know they're like 350 bucks ah they're really expensive but and when I first tried them on I was like there's no way any pair of headphones is worth three hundred dollars those headphones were three hundred dollars to me like those things are totally worth it some people I dude you don't got to spend like that on bose I'm like I just let they're really soft too dude really yeah comfort you need to come from yeah for the record bows is not a sponsor of this show oh yes a song XO want to get those holla holla in the market we're looking we're looking holla a sketchy report this is a report that we don't that we talked about way later because it makes us want to throw up a report from Apple offices in Israel an employee that does not want to identify themselves as the iphone is being referred to as the iphone 8 and is has actual hardware pieces um they're actually developing or building some of the pieces of the iphone 8 in israel that's all the phone eh that's all I'm gonna talk about this the story already happening starting want to make me throw up I'm like really come on guys it looks cool look at that that's just a fake render marinade okay it's fine fine but we we've been on our show we've been continuously calling the iphone future but we probably know that they're not gonna go with that Yeah right before the show you were like iphone x iphone annex 10th anniversary dog the marketing material would look Oh marketing up the loser of the zoo at the owl zoo and then this story is probably the one that is most disturbing to me about the iphone we've brought it up multiple times on the show motherboard a the website published an article that says geniuses say Apple knows about iphone 6 touch disease this is where when you touch your screen it stops responding it becomes pretty much like useless you it doesn't recognize finger swipes at all but Apple won't admit it publicly hmm I this to me I will continue to bring this story up every few weeks I hope more developments happen from because it's wrong it's literally wrong they need to come out and say there's something wrong and we have a fix maybe they're waiting till till they have a fix for it you know no therefore they announce versa who knows i but uh yeah that's a problem you know when apple does apple doesn't like to make it look like their products are faulty or they'll do everything possible well yeah I mean they hadn't we had antenna gain antenna the image the answer was a bio here's a freaky okay so here's a free case I think thanks guys thanks yeah it was the one phone that I didn't want a case on from the heppell product a long time ago like it was good enough to not use a case but that was the coolest designed iphone that I remember for a while that unfortunately to the case yes but you can't deny look these phones are out of warranty now so no matter what some people get lucky and they have a genius rep that's tight that's cool with them most people you're gonna have to pay three hundred twenty-nine dollars to get this swapped out to get this fixed you might as well buy a new iphone but Apple is not acknowledging the issue until they do this holt I had a couple friends say hey my iphone 6s is having problems and I described exactly what this issue was to them and both of them said oh yeah that's what most of them said that's exactly what it is I'm like yeah it's not covered by warranty and they were like what so well we have that problem in the hissing phone so you know which one I I you know what I haven't i've heard a couple iphone 7s and I mean I'm not saying it it's not good but it's not a deal breaker I mean it's it's a sound thing right it's like coming from the speaker so it's not like the phone like hardware is causing a hiss it's not like it's gonna blow up her yeah not gonna catch fire no you should be okay with that so um anyways Apple not happy about this whole touch disease thing really not happy about that at all well let's let's let's pick up the mood real quick alright yeah it helps me about I have a pin yeah that's the best part okay sorry it's all right no you don't i love my asians they're so dope they're so dope alright so we get to some voicemails yeah let's do it okay okay we put up the high shot here voicemail hi shot okay first voicemail here we go loja BTW how's everything going hey i just want to say something i know oh sorry there's a troop from Salt Lake City true formerly from Hawaii life I know that Apple invents everything and is the best company ever but they were not the first phone company to take the courageous quotes step to lose the three-and-a-half millimeter jack who is actually the Moto Z my coworker has one he got one months ago and it doesn't have a phone jack either I'm just tired of hearing that Apple is the first one to take that courageous steps thanks for the show you guys are awesome cool Shaka brah Shaka brah uh true I think you should call like every week this is such a such a dramatic delivery was dramatic it was very dramatic and it made me smile you are absolutely right the Moto's he was the first no one really talked about it but like many things I mean people talked about it people up in arms were they like oh my god well she does have a headphone jacks not know like it didn't even register on most people's radar and because let's be honest not too many people are buying the Moto Z so they're not going to be mad there you're just not going to hear people complain about it's a pure numbers thing right like anything the Internet can Oh like magnify something that may not be that big of a deal or it can really blow something up yeah and so that that's why but yeah motos II didn't take courage to do that they just did it i bet you there's some pretty smug moto z owners out there like yeah my did it first nope I'm ahead of the curve yeah we did I'm ahead of the curve we did it first okay next comes true guys hi this is Bryan from Boston my question is is it cool to double dongle I got a crutchfield catalog where they highlighted this cool-looking dragonfly digital audio converter I was curious about the improved sound I want to get it but thought a dongle look too weird now with the iphone 7 many people use dongles anyway so I was about to buy the Dragonfly digital audio converter but then I realized it actually need a lightning to USB adapter as well then the Senate back then the headphone true dongles so is it acceptable to double dongle thanks no he has a there's a funny there's a funny little clip in there like in the beginning of his call you can almost take some as always I hey guys is it okay to double dongle is like he was reading that I loved it I loved our sound is like I could just imagine you just throwing that in there randomly in the show like and I double dongle I'm like what of course you get double double dot you can double dong as much as you want please if that's your thing is this I think nothing wrong with that I think this is the dragonfly thing is that any time out I think so but it's yeah it has like a little analog input on one side look I'm not going to judge I will not judge anyone for double dong gleam no it's equal opportunities it's like I think its base the hairs thing you're not probably going to be walking around with it all the time you're using it for a specific task so yeah double dongle sure sure if it fits in your pocket all right hi this is sheri from Tennessee just wondering when carplay 2 is coming out car play too well Pixar are they making a car too only they already made car play two cars are you played three coming out Lightning McQueen was in trouble and Kerr played 20 chery chery first of all shout out to all the ladies out there listen the Apple white extra crunchy also shot out two guys who have their significant others that are ladies uh that watch the show as well because i can't tell you i've had people come up and say my husband loves your show but the husband isn't there so we'll take a picture with the lady to send it of the husband i was like oh so jealous I'm like I'll whatever's just mean nothing big but um they the car play Reese car play app recently was updated there's not a car play two per se but car plays technically kind of hooked into iOS and with the latest iOS 10 update they did a couple things like making it easier to reorganize your like the Apple layout I believe like the actual Maps functionality was improved as well car play doesn't have you know major stuff and I have not used I don't have a car that could use car play my biggest thing is that I still I still cuz i've i've even tried testing it out recently just with walking around the san francisco area I still don't trust Apple maps as much as I trust Google Maps oh yeah better that's what it comes down to for me yeah the iOS 10 update that just happened recently I've deleted Apple maps off my phone yeah it's gone heck yeah that's what I'm talking a so you know they have improved Apple music on the new carplay that's been hooked into iOS 10 as well so it's very subtle there's it's not like they're doing a complete interface revamp so just you can check it out little tweaks nothing nothing crazy cool we got an Apple watch question good morning gentlemen big fans of the show this is dan calling from Orlando Florida so I've got the original edition of the Apple watch of a letter is Colin EOG edition they're not series one but the very original edition and I've got applecare on it so I wondered what happens if you take it to apple to be replaced because again I've got applecare applecare+ or whatever it's called do they have like refurb or old editions of the original Apple watch or do they replace it with series one my guess is that they probably have refurb editions of the original but just a curious question it I love the show guys thank you so I used people that don't know I used to work at the apple retail stores years ago the very second store in the entire chain it was the Palo Alto store that Tyson this heist corny I was the second one in second retail store it was Steve Jobs his store because he lived blocks away so he'd right into this bike with his kids or just scoping out it was funny because whenever Steve Jobs came into the store it was very tense like everyone's like a junt man it's like his store yeah I've got some great stories that i should say for another time from from when he would come in but anyways uh the they'll never give you a like if your thing broke down the the replacement is an actual service part they'll give you the same exact piece they will never give you like oh my ipad gen1 broke here we only have ipad threes in stock taking it take it take a 3rd gen ipad so they will give you an iowa Apple watch ooh I will set it then Apple watch oh gee I like that instead of a series 1 and definitely not a series too but it was worth crossing your fingers yeah totally I like that okay last call out the devil last call for oh this is kareem absent from Louisville Kentucky just calling to respond on your sonos question it is 5.11 capability of the front speaker when three speakers and then you would add the to play fives over the play ones for your 5.1 of course you have to add us up as well thanks love your show right cool the cream right Kareem creates the dream baby that's exactly why would you know we do the show or do it on the fly we don't know we guess what we don't know everything actually a lot of you're like yeah he definitely doesn't know everything answer my question thank you very much out yeah that that's pretty bomb so it's basically assembling multiple so no speakers to then build the 5 1 i'm all about that i want that you know and i'm only that you know what I'm all about for them for my next whenever it is next home theater system dolby atmos dolby dolby atmos yeah they have these us you have your typical like seven now 7.1 surround sound but some of the speakers are a speaker in the front like normal and then a speaker on the top that fires up to the ceiling oh cool bounces up the ceiling down to so it it creates even more some more like an aversive yeah there's more space happening like you hear the sound bounces up the top down on you as well as on the sides in the middle like that's that's crazy like I love home theater stuff but you gotta spend a lot of money for it I know I have I like a THX system I give you it's getting a little dated right right I igg I have like a five wired the thing is like my apartment my living room is in that
