we are live from the giant Bob podcasts to do we're gonna hit him with a high hit with a high apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tom hit with the hind hit him with us yeah I like that Beach and welcome everybody the apple byte extra crunchy you know how we do it it's extra munchy this is episode 64 according to my sources is that correct that is correct that is correct alright episode 64 a lot of great stuff to talk about in the show this week we do have to talk about obviously the macbook pro reviews are in we we kind of really covered that with a special edition of our show that we dropped for you just a few days ago so if you want to talk about that we can but again this show is all about you it's not about us we want you to call us at one eight hundred 61 62 63 eight leave your name where you're from your comments suggestions your bad apples your good apples anything we're here our phone line was actually our phone lines we didn't really clean it out basically yeah we got a couple might be full we got out it is a check on that it is full yes it's full it's completely full but we do have a couple calls so let's just jump into the week that is everything Apple again this is kind of a compliment complimentary peace to our video podcast but we can get a lot more in depth we can go back and forth and we have the lovely musings of Steven Beecham who makes this show possible yeah I'm here making it possible if you weren't here this this first story I'm excited about actually you are excited about so hey let's just jump right into it according to Business Insider Apple has a secret team working to make the iphone's camera what they call a portal to augmented reality now I want to give you guys and gals a little history about this Tim Cook has outright basically chosen augmented reality as the platform that Apple is looking to go with moving forward he's said it in multiple interviews with good morning america he recently i can't remember what college he was at i don't want to say it was boston college but i believe it was in that area he was there on campus doing a speech he also talked about augmented reality he's done it on the earnings call augmented reality is the direction Apple is going to go in he's many times stated that it's more of a social experience which is true where instead of VR where you're wearing these goggles / head this headset display heads-up display in your in your own world which is awesome right Beecham totally change your life love being in my own world what what what HTC vive Star Wars preview yes change our GD two handed me a lightsaber and then I battled stormtroopers all right don't don't get me all don't get me all worked up art I mean I just got a little wet just now but Apple is so far augmented reality is what Apple's doing and what they're trying to do right now kind of their initial phases into this transition of a feature that they believe is going to be big coin in the business insider Apple is integrating augmented reality technology into the iphone's camera app according to a person familiar with this now this involves a lot of different teams from the startups that they have acquired over time but Apple wants to put this technology into users hands they've hired experts in head-mounted displays companies are also obviously competing against them we have Microsoft doing the hollow lens facebook has been reportedly working on something like this snapchats spectacles suspect this is like yeah this is like a mash-up of spectacles kind of and Google glass like yeah it's like both it it's going to be cool so this is first actually the beach this is this is just applicable to Apple's own camera where they believe and other ants believe Apple will actually incorporate this AR technology into the cameras into the iphone software and then they would allow developers to take advantage of kind of this API to then use it within their apps but they want this AR feature to be able to recognize real world objects and that would also require them to kind of create this database of you know the the actual lens within the app being able to recognize this is a peach this is a stop sign this is something else that would then give it reference points we have seen I can't remember the name of the app a long time ago where you held it up you showed the street and a bunch of businesses popped up now for those of you that are watching this um they're watching a demo from austere hot design group now this is a 50-person company based in San Francisco Apple has taken on their this man named John border who was the senior optics manager manufacturing exploration engineer he joined Apple in September and used to work for this company so a demo for people that are listening is basically there's an iphone and then there's a len a glasses like type product rights a pair of glasses and they put it in front of the iphone and you can see basically a row of different apps different things pop up when they're looking outside on the street in san francisco but again augmented reality it's it's it's here now we also have another report that supports not only Apple looking to add an augmented reality aspect into their camera Apple is specifically working on a pair of digital glasses now this is according to Bloomberg from earlier this week Apple is in the early product testing phase and you could say it's a pair of glasses that's similar to Google glass what they're doing really is think about this because you have to think how Tim Cook things he thinks logically and in a business mind as well it's maybe not the most innovative thing we get don't get me wrong we we're probably sure Apple has some sort of eyeglasses product that they've been at least plane within their mind for more than the past few years most likely even at the same time or when Google was doing it but Apple wants to branch off what is their most what is Apple's most successful product today beach Oh iphone iphone right yes so they had the Apple watch which was an extension of the iphone all right fine not the biggest seller but if the iphone is the number one selling product wouldn't it would be smart to make a product that branches off of that guess what a pair of glasses that would talk to your phone that would be that dude I would do that I mean rather than having to pull my phone out of my pocket I'm just wearing my glasses that is a game changer you wear glasses eyewear sunglasses okay sleep there you go yeah I mean I will I the only time I don't wear sunglasses when I'm in the studio true although I I could do that I mean I could be that guy well they're gonna have some sort of shade technologies you can be clear or dark it could be it could be that yeah like or do you have those glasses that when you go in the Sun they turn yeah right they'd late any blockers or someone the blue blockers has that dude that doesn't wrap the continent infomercial all the time yeah he was like freestyling about blue blockers you're like yeah I'm gonna get this so um Apple is in the exploration phase with these digital glasses the ideas that they would connect wirelessly to your iPhone show you images and other information in the wearer's field of vision they and use augmented reality to assist in that according to hear Apple has already ordered small quantities of near I displays from one supplier for testing but if you expect these to come out anytime soon if we even see these digital glasses or eye glasses Oh or eye lenses oh good you know you could the property's gonna calm Apple Apple glasses or Apple lenses whatever they call them um but I gotta call it something cool cuz snapchat is spectacles I mean that's kind of sweet actually that was pretty sweet but Apple would release them at the earliest in 2018 if they do we also know Apple has been known to just scrap projects when it just hasn't come together correctly for them you might even if you didn't all know this i mean the apple ipad was a project or a tablet device that they had been basically had in their back rooms for at least 10 years before they actually put it out really so they wait for the technology to be ready it's not like they're doing this two years they they see like a trend maybe and then they're like oh now is the time yeah get it well you know they've done that with oled screens with wireless charging with a curved displays bigger screens if you know the glasses there they wait wait they wait for trying to come but quite honestly anyone who's a Apple fan knows that Apple tends to jump on board a little later when they feel the timing is right so again Apple camera augmented reality Apple pair of glasses augmented reality base and this story I didn't really put it out earlier a few weeks ago just because it's kind of one those quick mentions but according to ming-chi Kuo who is the Apple rumor extraordinaire from KGI securities he had released a report outlining that he believes part of the reason why Apple kind of scrapped their car plan right we talked about the Apple car which all indications say it's a no-go it's being re-evaluated as more of a system that could be bought out or integrated with other cars but it's not an actual car anymore I just want to make that clear for people that are that are still asking me like where's the Apple car well as of now it's it's nowhere but ming-chi kuo believes that Apple is working on an augmented reality system for your car that's that would be useful yes definitely like I don't know how many people there's a was it an Audi product that we've seen at CES that had a crazy like minute really had to play right yeah cool concept stuff even something as simple as BMW has this thing where it projects the speed of your car on the dash oh yeah I've seen that at first it was weird to me but then it becomes totally useful yeah I was just watching I figured what movie I was watching the other day I was either James Bond or mission impossible and they're doing all that stuff on the screen you know I think it was James Bond I not as a recent was this a recent bond I haven't seen the recent was like an older bond okay but he like it's in the car with like some hot girl and all that yeah like does he like waves his hand and all the specs show up on the on the windshield inside the car and she's like oh my god what are you doing you don't look cool I know what that or you could or you could just imagine Minority Report like on your car on your car screen yeah totally minority report when I saw that movie I was like dude yeah super cool that what but you know the coolest thing about this camera this video that we've been watching is this icon teleporter and it looks like it looks at very interesting but he does click on it or whoever's using that does click on it at one point and it just kind of brings up this guy see I think right here they click on it and then there's a guy chatting Oh is a little wave like it's as if you're talking to someone yeah so I guess you're teleporting to another you know another place yeah at first when I saw that teleporter icon I thought it was like a virtual reality thing good teleport to someone else's glasses maybe in or you could just teleport yeah just teleport to some other place camera oh that's that looks cool I really did want to tell you at the moment the apple byte is up for when it comes to sponsorship if you'd like to sponsor us um we actually are going unsullied so therefore we are not influenced by any sponsorship right now we can say whatever that we want true yes thanks Salesforce r.i.p alright p alright let's talk about apple iphone news there's a lot of rumors floating around yeah you might i am of the camp that's like why are we time on apple iphone rumors like a year ahead but their allies the bummer last one we like uh when's the next one coming that's actually really true right you're like give me something to get excited about i mean i like literally like it was like the day after the iphone 7 lodge people are like oh but the iphone 8 you know we were we were actually telling people even before the iphone 7 even came out you probably should be here the next iphone that's still true that's just the reality and i think a lot of people feel that way as well according to our friend ming-chi kuo again he put out basically two reports recently first of all the report that is the most kind of curious is in 2017 expect to see three new iphones and they'll be described as such one will be still the 4.7 inch iphone with an LCD display and a single lens camera the second will be again an iphone 5-point sorry 5.5 inch screen sorry five and 5.5 inch let me there's all these sizes being thrown let me realize a lot of spot sizes yes there's the 5-inch and then there's the 5.5 inch model okay we'll have a dual dual lens camera as well LCD base and then the third would be an OLED based camera so remember we were all hoping that iphones would just completely transition 20 leads completely at least the flagship models but according to the reports and rumors only one of those three phones will actually be an oled display model and the reason why a report supporting this according to bloomberg is that playmakers are struggling to meet the iphone output in 2017 so OLED displays first of all right there's major advantages there more energy-efficient they provide deeper colors everyone has seen one you know when you're looking at an OLED you just do what Apple has a few suppliers the four largest are Samsung LG sharp and Japan display apple also has really stringent requirements for to pass their quality testing and so even with those fortis for display suppliers and ol Ed's low yield rates that's why we might only see again I say might because this is a rumor report we might only see one phone of the three to have the OLED display and that one will be the premium priced phone course it will be like three hundred dollars for source it'll be of course it'll be right yeah so I am and that'll be the hardest one to get yeah I don't be sold out and guess what to me what's a little even more frustrating is that you know that that one is going to be the Laurel be the large screen iphone oh yeah yeah right with the best camera with the best with the best camera so to me this is this is awkward to me because now remember the days where there was one single model or at least if you had two different sized iPhones you are still getting the same phone yes now you're essentially creating a product line with three different phones so you have 4.7 inch LCD screen with a single lens 5.5 inch display with LCD and the dual lens camera and then a 5.5 inch OLED display with a dual lens camera like come on yeah it's a lot it's a lot for consumers to chew on you know it's exactly the opposite of what they used to do yeah and if these things all do hold true which a lot of these reports and this is not just one person saying this is Bloomberg combined with ming-chi kuo from KJ securities that to me is troubling that if I want blue again before and yes times are rich gene but before you knew you were getting the best the iphone was the best i phone you could get now there are three iphones you could get and one of them is the best i phone you can get yeah there was a time when you say oh I have the iphone the iphone now it's like I have one of the iphone which one oh you know I I decided not to get the ola oh you don't have the iphone oh yeah you know you don't want to be that guy you want to be that guy yeah so I I don't like the direction that this is heading it just again the word fragment just make it just doesn't make it feel like oh I have the actual the flagship iPhone we used to feel that way yeah this is this is it you gotta make the iphone great again I don't even want a large screen iphone that's what sucks I would want an oled phone I don't want I don't want a large screen one either and I probably the ola it's gonna be on the biggest one of course it is yeah I didn't want a big one either so I don't think it's gonna really don't respect me alright let's listen well we'll stay in the mature space right now earpods launching more rumors including updates of late November and December this is according to French retail site website ethnic fanuc they posted earpods for pre-order with a suggested shipping in November 30th no one knows if that is true Apple has not even commented on that all we know still from Apple is that it's sometime later they know I've been seeing this from Apple a lot like shipping times are not clunky no they're not solid anymore it's like we might ship it on this time yeah it's interesting it's it's time for a change in I keep saying that time sir change they are here's some other news just in regards to your current iphone sevens we told you the story about how there were two different modems inside the phones depending on which carrier you're with or whether or not you're and on if you had an unlocked version the phone so just a quick recap this was based on a report from cellular insights that reported and clearly showed that the iphone 7s on AT&T and t-mobile we're using a diff modem this it was an Intel modem LTE modem where's the Verizon and Sprint ones were using a Qualcomm LTE modem and the tests found that specifically when you have a hard time getting a signal let's say you're at one I guess it's one dot now right they don't use bars anymore they use dots for LTE that the Qualcomm modem consistently it was like 75 percent faster with data speeds then the intel based one that's heute that's a huge different that's a huge difference so now a new report here combining research from twin prime and shared by bloomberg says reports again Apple may be throttling verizon's iphone 7 LTE performance and this is we do know that there are different modems in each one but what it's reporting is that specifically the verizon iphone 7 which again we know has the faster Qualcomm based modem does not reach the data transfer speeds that it is capable of hitting hmm so the the hardware from Qualcomm is capable of a maximum theoretical download speeds of 600 megabits per second while the Intel modem tops out at 450 megabits per second ok but this research found that the verizon iPhones are only marginally outperforming the AT&T iphone 7s which people are saying look they're significantly faster why aren't they hitting the threshold why aren't they hitting these the highest speeds they can't why is it only minimal why isn't even something significant so field tests are just saying hey it's a little faster no there is no there is no direct answer in the statement from Apple they say that there is no discernible difference in the wireless performance of any of the iphone 7 models that's a statement from Apple I could read it here but that's basically the summary of what they're saying although we have found from cellular insights that for sure there is a clear difference specifically when it gets too low signal performance so for Apple to stay here I'll just read this statement from their spokeswoman every iphone 7 iphone 7 plus meets or exceeds all of apple's wireless performance standards quality metrics and reliability testing in all of our rigorous lab tests based on wireless industry standards in thousands of hours of real-world field testing and an extensive carrier partner testing the data shows there is no discernible difference in the wireless performance of any of the models but based on reports that is not true good that's a bummer so look if we don't know if anyone is limiting this if even there's a software you know tweak or a firmware tweet that Apple has enabled on the Qualcomm modem to prevent it from reaching higher speeds no one's gonna say that no one's gonna outright come out and you know say yeah this is what we're doing but at the moment it's still curious of the Qualcomm modem that is capable of doing more is not doing more and it's that it doesn't have to do with the infrastructure from verizon side so it it seems like you would point it towards Apple side but we'll have to see if we hear anything more from this that's very interesting I mean we know that app or not Apple 18t throttles you yeah a tornado unlimited data and if you get over a few past 16 gigs at 16 gigs yeah an eighteen t if you pass or no no it gives you warning when you're at 16 gigs if you go over 22 gigs then it says we're going to start throttling you on your yeah I gotta which is basically not having unlimited data it's on it's unlimited data it's the unlimited plan so I mean you could you could weigh your verizon VS 18t but they're both someone's throttling Lee somewhere it's yeah pick your poison right that's what you're saying pick your poison exactly here's a story that I need to I must follow up on we've butchered Apple forever about this whole touch disease situation where a multi touch functionality or just touch functionality on iphone 6s would stop working and so this is according to Apple a design defect specific now that they've kind of acknowledged that and with a new repair program for the iphone 6 plus so this is to address complaints about the manufacturing issue there was basically a chip that would get loose and would sometimes cause the touch display to be unresponsive specifically in the iphone 6 plus so Apple describes it as multi-touch issues what you can do under this repair program which fine i'm glad that apple has created this repair program but i also i also think it's a little unfair for for another reason but here you go the repair program is Apple will fix the affected 6 plus devices for a service price of 149 okay they're gonna make money off of their defective phones to a certain degree i mean let's say okay how about this yeah no matter what they're gonna be making gobs money but they are making money i'm not sure what the margins are but okay so yes you're right here's here's the thing that bothers me though is a lot of these phones are out of warranty and where people were being turned down from getting them fixed so there's plenty of people that had to basically what is the best repair program for iphones buy a new iphone yeah exactly by the next iphone yeah we even had callers who said that they were told that they just had to buy a new phone I remember we had a voice a voice mail about that and I'm also curious because they say this is specific to the iphone 6 plus i had many people saying it also affected their iphone 6 yeah i can't speak to that but so i've heard it from i'm pretty burial yep that's bad I've heard it from both sides I just think that there's a lot of people that out of warranty already had to deal with this I don't think it's fair if this is see Apple team will repair this but they aren't necessarily outright acknowledging that it's a defect they're just saying Oh some devices that may exhibit this multi-touch issue here will help you out but again when it's out of warranty like if it's if they acknowledged it was a defect they would have to cover it but they're not they're just saying oh it might affect you so we'll offer you this plan to fix it if it is affecting you not we outright screwed up so we're going to make this a free fries repair be interesting to see if they change if you know if they change their policy on this say okay there was a problem and we'll fix it for free but I don't think that's gonna happen come on Apple step up baby we spend lots of money on you yeah baby won't step up baby shoe I gotta say though when I when the old headphones is so small but lazy and all crappy headphones they used to sell always get me torn out yeah wondering like one of them would go out i would go there and I'd say my headphones broken they would always give me a free pair oh so that's that's a positive everybody that's a good Apple good Apple good out listen i don't i don't understand when we read news stories that aren't positive people are like to you guys are just right writing on apple's parade so far the apple glasses that we saw earlier awesome there's lots of good stuff dude do you know how many apple products i own it's like come on you hate up oh go home go home all right love Apple thank you sponsor our show that would be funny they don't need us they don't need us they don't need us at all a new report here Apple we know about their whole Apple TV platform I just wanted to throw this in I forgot to add it into the show PlayStation view arguably not arguably in my mind the best TV streaming service available right now unfortunately they recently struck a deal where they are losing some via comm channels like comedy central mmm TV I don't care about comedy central's probably the biggest hit how many yeah and there was one other Viacom station that is getting removed from the package which is a bummer but PlayStation view the service will now be available for people who own an apple TV to watch on Apple TV so funny enough right sling TV streaming service and Sony's PlayStation view service now both on the appletv Apple where was yours where was yours we asked you to do it we asked you to make it happen and you didn't make it happen shame you watch Game of Thrones my bell shame shame yeah yeah we got nobody find the shame Bell will bring it back um while you look for that I'm going to talk about Apple and also their content acquisitions or original programming that they're looking for the through the apple TV now Apple has shown that they're willing to bid on some projects at least if it benefits that our ecosystem they have they did acquire James Corden's carpool karaoke segment again James Corden will not be in it but they're going to basically take that formula take that idea Apple music also to complement that a series like a bio series called vital signs featuring like it's kind of like a biopic of dr. Dre that is supposed to have some interesting stuff and then we've also heard of planet of the apps this is kind of like a contest show that is still in development in the I know they're talking to developers so I know a few developers that have said oh I applied for it I'm in the running so that is still happening but those are really the only big three content pieces but the question that I have to say is we know that content is king Apple knows that content is king but they don't have enough exclusive things to make people just want to buy an Apple TV and I think that that's there one of the things that they've missed on there's no streaming TV service they have they are sitting on billions and billions of dollars but guess who's investing in all of this original content of programming that we are going to see Netflix and Amazon you still don't have a Netflix your G but do you want to do you want me to shame an apple TV right now please ok shame shame shame I can't show this TV screen by the way ok she just shame shame shame on you Apple shame the Sapa was in a bidding actually talked to Chris Rock specifically for a potentially getting some comedy specials with them but Apple ended up not at least bidding or coming to agreements with them guess who did Who am without netflix netflix a to show comedy the greatest comedian in the world to right now that's a that's a big big get a to network to episode or two comedy special deal reportedly at 40 million dollars Chris Rock exclusive to Netflix yeah I'm gonna watch that it's gonna be awesome like this is this is the type of stuff we're talking about now Apple at least was able to secure early rights on itunes to show off Michael Moore's Trump land documentary so you'll you'll see that early but again netflix is killing it with exclusive content like yeah you based on what's on netflix versus what's on TV i hear people talking more about Netflix shows and I hear them timeout TV shows these days oh yeah yeah right far by far yeah and unless it's like walking debtors yeah and there are a few don't get me wrong there are a few key shows that are still worth watching on TV but I just feel like things have shifted now where you're not out of the conversation if you're not watching TV anymore exactly you're you're in eighty percent of the conversations yeah if you're just on streaming services unless you're like me and just watch golf all the time then you know don't really have anything to talk to anyone about well how about uh what's the latest golf golf uh turning Tiger Woods coming back he's coming valued weeks baby you've said that they have said that for like three years I know I went to the tournament Napa the other day he was supposed to be there and you didn't show it's wholly upsetting oh like one of your I'm sure because you know you go way back so you love tiger during his prime oh yeah you know you like the prime Tiger vs. post tiger I followed Phil Mickelson or oh that was pretty incredible yeah that's that's that's awesome that's like yeah falling legends around it's kind of like the Golem legend a living legend legend Terry it's like working with you Beecham a living legend legend alright so anyways Apple still kind of really behind from the Content standpoint which is frustrating to me because I always felt they could have gotten ahead of that a lot earlier but they just didn't yeah so I'm not gonna play you know no more we already did our shame on Apple TV for shame let's go on to some happy news Nintendo's Super Mario run yeah one-handed one thumb version of mario that you will be able to play on your iOS device for iphone and ipad that has given been given an official date of december the 15th oh you can my alarm you can get a free version of the game but if you really want to unlock all the features it's going to cost you 999 that's not bad that's not bad see I flinch but I'm still gonna buy app cuz it's an apple ii no smells like app like I think the most well the most expensive app I think I bought is like 499 maybe okay the most expensive app I bought and then I was really pissed about because they made a cheaper

just a mention about the dongle gate especially when it comes to the lightning connection or the lack thereof a lightning connection um just wanted to say i have an iphone 6 amen about a you know 2011 macbook pro and i haven't clutched my own into my computer in probably two years just because you like I clouds right iCloud photos and you know just all of those things are already taking place uh you know in the background so I just haven't had a need to plug it into my computer at all so but that's my comment thank you talk to you guys later let the show peace thank you for the call that's we we had to show love to that because i know there's plenty people that don't plug in their um their phones yes you know i do because i don't really trust I god I'm like old sky will admit I'm old school like I do wirelessly sync my phone sometimes but I tend to be like oh yeah once in a while I definitely plug it in I plugged mine in last night exactly because because i had like I took a ton of music offer to make space and then I wanted to put all that music back on and it would have taken it taken or it's a lot do it wirelessly so with the cable it's like pretty fast exactly so see there you go yeah that's why there you go okay number two numero dos hi my name is Josh I love listening to your show I have a quick question I'm wondering if Apple will ever have an AI that's actually useful I've tried Siri every time they come out with a new iOS and I continue to think she's worthless do you think they'll come out with an AI kind of like Google's that actually works if not are there other AIS that I can add to my iphone 7 plus and use instead of Siri thank you have a great one fight haha come on don't tell me she's worthless she's not worth she look she is has been getting better every time but still may not be up to your standards I will say in the past there were some other options for kind of like assistance but really look series going to be the most integrated with your phone I would quite honestly say and we've told people this before you just use google the google app yeah yeah because you can there is a google app and you can do voice commands in its again it won't be on the level of what the pixel phone has which is by far the sweetest virtual assistant AI i have seen an experience on any phone it just does stuff really well and it's only going to get better it's even just year one and i think it's some people like oh it doesn't do that much different stuff I think there's a lot of subtleties were like wow this is the direction it is heading so my advice would just be use the google app and you know for voice command stuff but really when i set alarms or reminders which is really the only thing I use my serie for ya music see I don't even do it for that really yeah I do it for like play this song or or play little arms set timers play my workout I asked your question scores Raiders also you do you see then you use her a lot I I use it a lot actually yeah and it's probably annoys people around me it's all good but Google is like so contextual like Julian oh man it's crazy it'll answer with like context and different things you didn't know and you can follow up without reference by saying an additional like an add-on question a normal conversation yeah yeah yeah that's what makes it that's what what about this Cortana available a knife I don't think it is I don't believe so if I'm wrong someone can slap me but I don't pretty sure it's not yeah pretty sure it's not that's another good one to court I'm cool yeah but if you want to stay you know I'm thinking he's talking about staying specifically with the iphone just i would use Google's Jojo again it's its own app it's not integrated but it will probably do the job pretty well for you yes and it does all the things that Siri does too it'll it'll set alarms and all that stuff reminders true dad so cool okay and that's all that's all we got today okay again just one more last time call us 1 800 61 62 63 8 that is going to be our show for this week just a heads up because of the Thanksgiving break we may not have a show next week yeah I
