from the Giant Bomb studios in san francisco california it's the apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. brian Tong hey what up B Chum what up Apple biters what's up Apple biter extra crunchy extra munchy what's up Apple by nation welcome to the show it is episode 58 you all are still hanging with us like still hanging out with that aight what we show nothing but love and the only way that we can show love back to you is to continue to do the show bring the noise but the noise is always going to be brought from you all so we want you to when you have a chance write this number down or not right i guess you like I've been in added on sure no no yeah voice dictated call us at one eight hundred 61 62 63 eight that is our voicemail you can leave your name where you're from your comments your questions your bad apples we just like to hear from you try to keep it around 20 to 30 seconds sometimes we let a few one minotaurs get through some compelling if they're compelling enough like you gotta really raise your game I almost want to do tutorial like good calls and bad calls you know even if you just have to write on your paper like three bullet points you want to hit just make sure you hit them I'll start collecting some bad calls we need it we need to do like the bad apple call of the day just and if it goes on it goes on we're just gonna we're gonna clean ever run out of content if we know we won't but I will say you guys call and you do a great job of it and it's actually from the beginning it's gotten a lot better oh yeah for sure so let's jump into the show because that's why you're all here this week I was gone for the early part of the week I was in New York and I gotta check out the Nike mags bro you know the nike eggs are bro did you see that when I want a pair to go snowboard bag like system I'm sure two shoes are you kidding me I gotta try those on okay they're only making 89 it's the only way to get them is to enter a raffle through nykeya it's like ten dollars per entry and then you just test your luck but it was amazing it was like it was amazing to try their shoes on because that's think about it when you were a young kid you see things in movies and imagine now teen 89 the movie came out it's 2016 almost 30 years later crazy this shoe has come out now yeah it looks so cool man it really does like led so playful yellow super soft it was self lacing okay I should I don't know why I got on that tangent but it was important to let people know but we're gonna talk about all things apple and when I jumped to earlier this week because I wasn't here I wasn't actually doing the live show for I hope I can say the sacred word on this show the google keynote ooh dangerous I mean let's be honest I love tech yeah you say Android burn burn we might have to leave the studio but look I think it's always good to have perspective of where different competitors stand in the race and where does Apple stand in this race and Google drop their pixel phone that is their new flagship phone it is really a phone that in if you look at it from a taking step back it's google's way of doing hardware and software their way much like Apple has done hardware and software their way we know that HTC built this phone but it is really Google's first one that they claim to be made by google now the number one thing you can talk about specs all you want I really don't care as much from a standpoint of reports are out Apple's iPhone destroyed it in a geekbench benchmark tests but hooyah we also kind of know that benchmarks don't really matter because it comes down to optimizing the software in the hardware also most every phone is so fast these days like it's hard for me to argue to say oh the top four phones in the industry right now are one of them is really slow they're all more than capable well there was just that test recently where he was doing the individual yes I on the Samsung and what the iphone was like seven seconds faster overall or something I mean it's seven seconds is that's quite a that's that's an entire life that's that's an entire loading life I mean we just talked 47 seconds just imagine what you could do with those seven seconds that's a lot it's so much but the big thing about this phone is really to me the artificial intelligence the Google assistant and when I see this thing in action I'm I'm blown away from a standpoint this is the best AI we have seen in a consumer electronics device to date the way that it's conversational and it's on the market we know there's concepts and other things but it's but then I look at apple and I'm like dude like Apple you do make a great phone you have your ecosystem but does Apple really have an artificial intelligence problem do they have an AI problem yes like what do you think using Siri and what you've seen so far where you out with this my go-to is google I I do talk to Google a lot more I mean I ask Siri to like set alarms and and so basic stuff for the phone but if I if I want like real information like I'll ask Google you know like who won x NBA championship in 2018 heard 2018 you know 2015 or whatever will tell me right away and that's that's what's crazy to me Google's the power you know there's always excellence in hardware excellence in software google has had a search engine it is the roots of their company their Google now was better than a you know and their google voice recognition was always and always has still been better than apples and apple has been trailing again for the record Apple Siri is so much better though that I actually use Siri for voice to text and I would say it's a lot it's significantly more accurate these days I still will get a few boo-boos once in a while just because you know maybe it doesn't understand when I use those dulcet tones you know like what's up David Oh sexy boys sexy voice you interpret my sexy excessively no but it's funny because i use google now to ask it actual questions that i want to know but i never use it to like set alarms or remote right anything like that i totally don't do that like I use Siri for like you said set an alarm or reminder yeah i will use google for like actual information yes so then let's take all these things together and now amp them up where you can start talking to your phone in a conversation that understands context so if i say hey Beecham let's go to the AMC metreon and then order to say Oh am I free and my schedule Google's suppose can see that then you can say hey right after you don't have to redo anything just follow up like what movies are playing and it knows you're talking about that movie theater in your earlier comment like I natural language conversation right that is on and then I'd like to get dinner reservations at an italian place nearby so then it takes knows because you're talking about a theater uh-huh it knows the address of that and then recommends things like that's crazy sounds crazy and it's multi later stuff and look Apple is behind in that space and we always talk about different features to me artificial intelligence isn't a feature it is a platform now yes is it's it's a platform that you're gonna either be a head even like it's like it yeah it's like iOS you know like it's going to be its own thing other than it's going to be its own thing and in addition to that Apple has introduced a lot more deep learning computer learning from Cirie and that's why it's been able to get a lot better and more accurate but they still trail that's the reality I am NOT bashing on Apple I just want to give you all a sense that sometimes when people listen to us I like to give people perspective of what is happening around them instead of just being closed mine on Apple because it's easy to if you're in the Apple yeah yeah it's um easy to forget many people just like I don't really care about I'm telling you you need to care about what's going on it's amazing so you know I hope that they can get better at this but right now Google's assistant is just blowing my mind and this is just the start like I know this is the iceberg right this is the moment where artificial intelligence and consumer electronics are really going to start to take take off we all know about voice assistance but when I talk about artificial intelligence this is what we're talking about so you know it's an exciting time protect it's a little disappointing and then just to even talk about what the competition is doing samsung just acquired viv now if i don't know if we talked about viv but viv is also a very smart multi-tiered multi-layered AI the funny thing about viv is that the roots of the company okay the founders of viv were the founders of Siri and you're like how is that possible the two guys that created Siri were they were acquired by Apple in 2010 okay three years later they left Apple Apple decided to do they want to do with Siri these guys like we want to do more with Siri so they created viv if you go online and look up there's like a techcrunch demo of viv and watch how he orders pizza it's not just ordering pizza it's like adding in ingredients taking away ingredients asking for different cheeses like you're like what and it's happening in a single flow conversation on this video your phone yeah I mean you won't be able to you know you're just showing people what it looks like that can see this but it like blew my mind so so that that since your samsung has acquired this company the company that Apple originally acquired Apple decided to do something different for and they're like we're gonna make Siri even better with this thing called viv yeah that's crazy so what happened like these guys did they hit a wall with Apple or something like who knows what happened but why would they I think the reality is that in the past they had said they didn't necessarily bump heads with Apple but the creators of cerium the two names adam share and chris brigham they said that Apple wanted to go with a different direction and use Siri differently and if you look at how Syria was used it was used as a voice assistant based on specific tasks it wasn't used as an AI Yeah right right i mean that's like launched things in your phone it was very rudimentary like open this out or you know just very simple remember i remember the early days would be like play metallica play the beatles yeah i was like excited just to be I was cool and that was cool but they they had a bigger vision of it so now you have samsung that is acquired viv and again look up the demos if you can online and we have Google who has google home we have Amazon who has the echo and we have apple that has series so these are like the for AI platforms a home assistant is going to be a big deal arguably a I and the home assistant is to me the most exciting platform in the next 2-3 years yeah we're gonna see a lot of really cool crazy stuff so it's something to keep an eye on but i just wanted to bring up the topic because really the question is does apple have an AI problem more than anything where do they stand in this whole race and they're definitely not first and i don't think their second either yeah so um and god bless 3d touch I thought it was going to be legit and I don't even really use it anymore I don't I never use it in fact it like gets in my way sometimes I'm trying to move apps around or if I'm trying to copy pay something get to my way yeah I I really was I had high hopes for 3d touch because I think it actually can still be useful but because there's when it launched it was like sometimes it worked on things sometimes it didn't it wasn't ubiquitous it work differently in different apps it just doesn't it didn't translate and I really don't hear people talking about 3d touch at all yeah I would love it if like a developer called in and told us you know any issues that they run into with you know programming for 3d touch or something like maybe we can try to get someone on the show people that are watching her like yeah 3d touch basically died look I mean what you think it even will be on the next phone iphone 8 or the iphone future or the iphone acts I mean it's whichever we need to have a poll we need it emit poll and just like see what people think I want I've now I mean I loved iphone future because that's like our baby but i also think iphone x is just bad i'm into your time iphone xt right okay um just a quick thing as we transition over some few bullet points about the iPads we know that there's rumors about them we're expecting to see them sometime in 2017 realistically the first half of 2017 a MACO takara report and they typically play and swim in the rumor mills of rumors and news with apple and you've probably heard of their name before a new report from them does confirm that we expect to see three different ipad models in 2017 the big different tiers we will expect to see a 12 point nine inch model r it with a true tone display hope something that I desperately wanted and still don't have okay the other iPad though appears that it'll be moving from the 9.7 inch which we have currently as the ipad pro kind of the smaller version it'll bump up to a 10.1 inch model and then if this report is to be believed the ipad mini will be refreshed into the ipad mini pro still at seven point inches but we'll have everything a true tone display the four corner speakers better processor yada yada yada um so the ipad mini may still have life according to this report will have to wait and see cool and interesting and another thing related to that is that an alleged benchmark of the a 10x processor if you're familiar with how Apple does their processors for their phones typically right single numbers a 7 88 89 when they customize it or boost it for the ipad line specifically you'll get an X in it sometimes they'll use a lower end processor in kind of something like the ipad mini but according to benchmarks that have leaked out the antenna the a 10x is real and it destroyed absolutely destroyed the iphone 7s a 10 processor I wonder why that is like how much different is it is it larger I don't understand why it would be so much faster than they just added more it just wears the be optimized it yeah where's the beef I just to give you these are numbers that I don't want you to remember and we really shouldn't care but the iphone 7 and 7 plus 4 single core performance coming around 30 550 600 for multi-core test this is like a benchmark score the eight 10-x device came in at 4236 for a single core and a 6005 6500 score for the multi-core test so it's not like it's it's it's about twenty percent faster basically but still that's that's still pretty good jus seein if you like I some people say I don't care about iPads I don't even use iPads anymore I can't honestly I might be with a few people I care about iPads like religiously because I travel with it and it is my favorite it is my ultimate travel buddy a bad Prague iPad pro you got to watch that if you know it okay um we're not gonna take a break this week we actually are completely unsponsored meaning we can say whatever that we want show is sponsored by cnet com booya don't worry we're in we're in sponsored transition don't worry we got we got some coming but we do want to thank I'm not trying to plumb think I devices for their support over like argue Lee what the past 2-3 months yeah man Thank You vices thank you i divided us they were so nice no much love so just for one last time I'd like to say it with you do you remember is like it anyway we gonna look at me choke a look at each other's I ready I devices involving your home beautiful thanks guys alright news stories Apple music sorry you know what I I'm sorry I actually accidentally changed my my document oh yes I'm all over the place I am sorry but what I actually wanted to talk about is for those of you that don't know this week was the fifth anniversary of the passing of Steve Jobs obviously you can't say Apple without thinking about Steve Jobs he passed away at the age of 56 really the great arguably the greatest mind innovator and thinker when it comes to consumer electronics so I just wanted to kind of open it up because you know everyone has memories or thoughts or stories about Steve Jobs and how they impacted him so I kind of wanted to hear from you Beachum you know what when you think of Steve Jobs what do you think about what stands out oh definitely the iphone i mean like changed my life completely you know it like i have i still have like my own small business and like I that's that's my computer my work phone my work computer my security camera my everything remember the first time I held one I was working for a game spot and one of my co-workers had it and he handed it to me and I was just I was like you know it's incredible it blew it literally blew my only bloom imma at the time if you if you have to rewind back and everyone that's watching if you guys can chime in um will will shout out a few of the things that you guys say of what comes to mind when how it changed the game I remember my phones before that were a motorola razr and then the t-mobile sidekick okay it had a keyboard i had a flip screen I love the sidekick to this day I wish they may have so many feel like that okay yeah it was so cool but then the iphone i was like what the hell is like I never knew you know it's one of things like you didn't even realize a device could do this we saw like blackberries and other phones like the palm and stuff like that but nothing ever like that not never enough never like the iphone you know he he i can't remember the words exactly but he's like it's a phone it's a music player and it's an internet browser here and every designer netconnect he's like a phone yeah music player streaming internet browser and everyone's like that was amazing cuz everyone was first like oh yeah and then they're like oh like everyone's like dude they started like one thing I guess so um it was someone says internet communicator I don't exactly remember the words cuz look don't don't hold it against me because you don't know either okay but I do i do in remembering Steve Jobs i do want to tell a few quick anecdotal stories that i had because people that don't know a long time ago I used to work at the Apple Palo Alto retail store this was the second retail store in the chain and it was also steve jobs to store so he would come by on the weekends he would sometimes just make a surprise appearance he would come typically on a bike with a basket with his son and they'd hang on the store but i do have a few cool stories from it 11 is probably like one of the funnest memories that i actually had is that he came in at the time vp of hardware john rubens that Ruby they called him ruby jon rubinstein they were they had executives from canon and they wanted to show people they wanted someone in the store to show them I life and it's funny you talking about I live cuz I feel like every week we get people calling like his up with ilife right I'm you know I life is what really set up the mac is like the home you know from music to photos to movies to DVDs like I still love I DVD even though it's gone now okay so basically I they pulled me aside you know my manager and said we want you to do a demo for Steve and Ruby in these execs at Cannon so they put me in this corner with freaking six people Steve Jobs being one of them and I spent I kid you not about an hour and a half to two hours starting from like this is the ipod and this is how it seamlessly works with your music this is your photos and how it work I photo this is your movie let me edit a mini-movie cool and then poured its I DVD the whole time okay like Steve Jobs just kind of watching and like nodding his head he didn't say anything he interjected a couple times but he didn't interrupt me cuz he knows all that stuff like almost I was like right I was like dude don't f this up Tom and I'm like a young buck so you're like holy crap Steve job at the end of this whole damn thing all he did was say thanks just Pat me on my sore just walk away and I was like good that I was like you hear all the stories out he would like quote unquote fire people and later no you you got away clean yeah I was like dope okay so point you know five points btz okay another fun story this does not have to do with me at all but you had a lot of times where he's purchasing things at the counter and it's his store right it's an apple store yeah and so like a lot of times some of our retail associates that had never dealt with him would be like um they get nervous and then they'd be like so uh do I just give this to you or do I give an employee discount that's what I you know he's like so how do i how do I ring this out you know you buy software and like all the time and you just beat he'd be cool about it just like I don't know like you could tell people are super nervous around it he just really no no discharge it is uh you know his whole personality was like intense I could you imagine seeing the person that basically is responsible for a lot of enjoyment that you have in life and a mention a large Arab paradigm shift to world yeah like oh we're a great mind of the world that's kind of crazy right he's like they're it's like yeah you know basketball fans Michael Jordan you know Tech fans Steve Jobs he goes like leo yeah like somebody's dying like straight up right so okay wait I found the thing with which lists doing the thing here here okay look it see Oh where's the sound internet communications device okay here we go so what here goes way I Letta Letta listen so three things a wide screen ipod with touch controls a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough internet communications device wife students to an ipod a phone and an Internet communicator an ipod a phone are you getting it these are not that's the magic that's research of devices this is one device and we are calling it iPhone today all right okay so I remember I remember being there in that moment it was like you were there yeah because I worked I worked before store before I worked for this company called speck products this is a case company and that we were obviously at that keynote as well that's awesome so it was fun you were one of the one of the Apple people in the crowd like clapping like I would never do such a thing ee always make Joe got yeah I know every t know all the Apple employees like really clapping for always liked from this day it was legit yeah I do have one more quick story this is a fun one uh Steve Jobs is at the register buying something and a customer was right next to him it was a lady and the customer said oh my goodness you look so familiar and we're like there's three of us working at the table were like oh man this is not gonna this is not gonna go well it's like you just feel that oh this is so like awkward yeah and she said where have I seen you before and he looked at her and he's like she's like oh I forgot yeah I said where have I seen you before do you work for Apple and everyone's like oh my gosh and Steve Jobs Turner he's like yeah the mac division and she goes okay and then he smiles nods and walks out the store and then I said her do you realize who that is and she's like no who was that and what we said that's Steve Jobs and she said oh my gosh I can't believe it I used to work at Apple Wow she clearly didn't pay attention to her job no wonder she used to work at Apple yeah it was a funny it was a funny mode but you know sometimes people get all like flustered about that right I get started drag man I feel like big famous star I like can't talk there's not too many people I get starstruck by I get star showed by creators of things that I loved growing up yeah yeah don't like I could tell you who I was starstruck with but then he's kind of my friend now so it's like I'm not anymore but he like Ed Boon the creative Mortal Kombat oh yeah I got time three can like super cool and he watches our stuff does he really yeah that's also when I first met him at at e3 he called me by name and I'm like huh and I thought a PR person till he's like did you like couple pass out no I was just like dude literally my childhood hero like come on man if anyone knows me they know like how hardcore iam about Mortal Kombat it's it's kind of crazy okay back to the show right but those are just three stories that we just wanted to talk about in you know remembering Steve and just like kind of those crazy things that happen like man dude the iphone like for reals still still rocking one right now seriously seriously my like fifth one or 6 16 bits II think I'm a little more than that um I just wanted a even though we're transitioning to over just like to talking about the iphone I'm gonna skip that skip this next door and just jump ahead to addressing some of the iphone 7 issues that are happening and are going on there have been reports that some iphone 7s and even 6 s's have this are basically activation locked and what that means is when they turn on their phone to activate it because you have to kind of authenticate it with a server it's actually showing another user's email nowhere and so it's like unintentionally linked to another customer that's you obviously don't know their password and so you can't get in the phone which means you can't set it up you can't sink it and several people more than like several are saying that yeah they've had to go to apple and request for an expedited replacement but that really sucks like you have your own and you can't even activate it because it's under someone else's name you email that person be like give me your activation number please yeah give me give me your Apple ID password cuz gonna set this up in that name that's not important at all now um these aren't widespread issues but in all to be fair we do want to bring up the fact that there was a report of an iphone 7 that recently exploded a single one up to this point um what has been reported is that it exceed it exploded in transit so he doesn't know how or why attacks exploded but when he opened up his apple iphone in packaging the phone was burnt up you can see pictures of it online the packaging was burn out but it actually it didn't go any further than that it kind of X ended up extinguishing itself whether there wasn't enough air to continue to feed that or not it just ended up burning out like like most of these phones do but that did happen he what he didn't have it on him or plugged in but it's still kind of a semi mystery there you go that's the picture look at the magic that Steven Beach of those like during the show I just that is an iphone that looks like it was burned and there's a skeleton I don't know where these are all other random photos the other thing is that an iphone 6s this is now roughly either the second or third story we've heard about a gentleman who had an iphone 6s in his back pocket and it exploded it gave him 2nd degree burns this is a difference is that the southern iphone 6s you know we aren't seen anything as widespread as what's happening with the galaxy no 7 and i just think the whole note 7 situation is a shame because there's a report about an actual replacement note 7 potentially and actually setting on fire in an airplane a southwest flight they don't know exactly every all the details behind it they're investigating it to see truly if it was a replacement phone or what's behind that because they could arguably face a second recall if it's that serious we aren't very very serious cuz that's it Seth the way it's a plane you have the Federal Aviation you know like that's huge I don't we don't I don't know I didn't unfortunately didn't read the details I don't even know if the phone was technically off or it was left on so I I for some reason I felt like I had read it might have been off but correct me if I'm wrong you know I don't know but these these are you know where these devices are getting more powerful they're staying the same size they're getting actually thinner there's less room for you know heat dissipation and we all want bigger batteries bigger batteries and that's what the danger it that's what we're getting therein lies the danger yeah like my iphone 3gs exploded but i had literally exploded yeah it wasn't like there was no fire there was no flames but i'd already owned it for like two or three years and then it was having problems and it like broke down when my kid was getting born which was like a huge bummer i was like where it is gonna get us all the pictures but it had it turned off for like a day and then I plugged it in to charge it and it just like expanded like the do it start like war penis you sell like the phone expanded in a bad way I just that's a great load and inside but there's no flame and plugged it right away clearly yeah yeah yeah well yeah it happened to me but I had already on the phone for like two or three years but thanks to the magic of periscope people have told me that the gentleman on the southwest flight was actually turning his phone off when it happened ah so um you know Apple has been replacing their phones so far they aren't doing ain't every call we're not hearing as a major widespread thing but uh but that's happening but here look just uh while we're staying in the iphone news i don't like to get ahead of ourselves too much but you can't help but talk about like future iphone stuff like you just can't help it yeah and we know with the iphone X or the iphone future we already got a call like last week some guys like he tell me anything know about the iphone 8 is true like I can't think that I can't take that call I clean take that call no but a new patent that has been granted to apple and was found by patently Apple has revealed that we know we will know one of the rumors that this few this new phone coming out is potentially going to have no physical home screen an edge to edge glass and the ability to detect your fingerprint um on the phone a new pan kind of backs this up that we might see this where it's a pound specifically for technology that can recognize your fingerprint to unlock the phone not from a single location on the phone but anywhere on the screen that's crazy because then it can also like collect other people's fingerprint or who maybe steal your phone sure and then like that's actually cool idea i didn'ti about that other believes are like oh you got your phone stolen okay do you have tracked the phone track my iphone on okay we got his fingerprint oh yeah he's got a record day I are you been watching CSI lately or something this is like CSI cyber an EVO robbery a good little Snowden we text from Russia and snow means no II snow okay hahaha East no he muscles on the line he's my always hit me right now it's us and finally just a this is a fun story how have I don't know how many of you are into candles or maybe like you like scented candles or maybe like to set the mood with that special someone dangerous candle a candle only danger it can't it can't be dangerous check out this candle from 12 south based a company based instruction self-generated yeah did you do a camera story like or a candle story a couple weeks ago too did I is this the same one I don't know oh no we did the candle that like lights itself is a smart an angle so funny you're like here's another candle for you guys check it out it was like a smart kid like an iOS oh you I totally forgot about that my Bryant songs in the candles yo holla holla lata playa um this is called the new mac candle it smells like a new mac you know when you open up your box like that fret it's like people that loved that fresh smell of shoes this is like your fresh new Mac candle its twenty four dollars its hand poured one hundred percent soy wax they're completely sold out right now damn I was gonna say we gotta do a review oh I'm gonna definitely do a review I mean I've done so many skits of me like making love to Apple devices I want to put this to the test oh hell yeah like wouldn't you like dude like yellow so funny yeah like how do you know lady do last night tune new Mac got her like dad like that turn her on anyways anyways the new mac the new mac candle scent on website is from a 12 south look it up everybody it's pretty dope is that also like Apple font right there hand poor yeah it looks like they're uh before they use San Francisco font I can't remember it's that their service there Sam school fun is a little different than that but yeah that looks like myriad pro pretty way back in the day so it's pretty good see that's how you know that's how you know you're like loser status when you know the fonts of the Apple fonts like there's like you can be a geek and then you can be a super geek and you can meet rookie when you know the fonts I know right of the company you need to get out more yeah when you work with some graphics artist to you start to like really see fonts oh hell yeah and how fonts like affect your mood and Stella totally i'm all about that i'm totally all about that that's funny we have a specific font for machal sierra it's very specific so should we get to our voice calls because we know this is all about you all Apple biters that call us in so yes let's talk to you and hear you what you guys have to say got a lot of good calls this week and here we go I Brian I Steven this is Jack Daphne from rain to Illinois love the show my question was do you believe that Apple may one day maybe not in the near future but in the distant future create a streaming movie service similar to how they created Apple music maybe like a Apple movies to compete with Netflix and other movie streaming services thanks bye jack I love this question it's so relevant and topical right now because I didn't include it in the show because you know nothing's really happening right now but there have been rumors that Netflix could be could be acquired in the near future by a variety of companies that look like good prospects one of those companies being the big a you know aka apple now we don't know when it's going to happen the other companies in contention right now our disney amazon and apple but here's why it makes sense from a from from an acquisition standpoint you are so smart because you pointed out how they did Apple music remember apple acquired beats music Apple couldn't get a music subscription service set up yes apple acquired beats and their assets and then turn that into Apple music so Apple has had trouble even setting up their own video streaming TV service right we had all those stories of the Apple execs just walking into meetings with movie studio and just trying to strong-arm yeah strong arm and they're like nope hey hey ain't happening and so apples has still yet to launch an actual their own TV streaming service it doesn't look like it's happening but could they launch any type of video streaming service if that was the case Netflix would be it now this is why it also works on the other end Netflix I how about this Netflix has is pretty much for the most part has started to plateau from a standpoint of user base they are still growing in subscribers but not exponentially anymore they've expanded internationally and the way that netflix has to make more money or more revenue is really from the content right we have all these awesome shows that they put out yes but guess what shows cost a lot of money to support so if your user base is still on like a 9 95 plan we've seen when there's been resistance to be like hey we're gonna bump up your subscription service to like 12 bucks or 14 bucks people ask out people ask why where am I seeing this people are resistant to that where else can I go yeah exactly right because service exactly so you know have a large company like Apple who is sitting on billions of dollars much like Disney much like Amazon to be able to absorb those costs and almost in a way use netflix as an arm for content for them it's almost like I'm it sounds silly but like a marketing expense Netflix is content but what does it help do sell more devices yes and so from that standpoint I think it does make sense I think Disney buying it could also make sense Disney has worked out exclusive deals for content coming to netflix first in the future so they have a previous relationship I don't think Amazon makes as much sense just because Amazon because I'm sorry I like why yeah why would they do that this this actually kind of bothers me because now i feel like if one of them buys netflix then there's going to be less competition between all these networks and all these streaming services and then you know just I feel like we need more there is less there might be I think that if they kind of leave it on like it would be weird to just get rid of the netflix name and also call like Apple yeah having apple video like hell no right like that seems like something they would do to or stay with you man crap so um we'll see how it plays out nothing nothing may happen at all quite honestly but Netflix is at a point where well I'm surprised cuz Netflix seems like i love nefeli profitable you know yeah you need to get on that I mean like I've told you over and over I've like shared my friends oh they finally share to share with with you can you watch daredevil so we can talk about this very devil dudes right I'll try to watch daredevil Luke Cage I want to watch luke a okay how about this can't how long will it take you to watch luke cage a month I know you got you got I know you time and stuff like you know about this one i'm free after ten I 10pm it let's do this watch the first episode before next week that'll that one or that I got you one hour in a week and then let's ride let's talk because I might just bend watch the whole thing that's then then then then Ben watch that cuz I haven't I haven't started yet ending a lot of positive reviews I wanted netflix bond with you I like Netflix bonding it's like it's an I'm glad I'm amazon prime bond too we can do that okay that's good alright that was a long answer but thank you for that it it's really cool okay we have more calls let's do some more hey guys this is Blair in West Hollywood they knew to the Apple wat and knowing that I can delete apps default apps from my phone what happens for my if i delete mashup how do I default different Maps app to the phone and to the watch thanks so when you're talking about deleting apps what happens how do you default other apps for example with the maps app and the Apple watch what happens there so I've actually never even though I don't use it I've never deleted the apple maps app I did I did and then it never did and then there was some something I think I was like on safari or something and it's like get directions to this place right yeah so I click the get directions thinking it was going to take me to google maps but instead it takes me to the App Store to redownload Apple maps and that makes sense yeah and that makes sense because it's integrated I will tell you that google maps does have an app for your Apple watch I do know that when you set your home point and your work points like kind of your key points it saves them as like a quick touch to go to from your Apple watch but I believe because I haven't really tried it you know and I could be wrong so people can call it and correct me but it's not like all of a sudden google maps is going to be integrated into your Apple watch much like your phone like if you click on a map like it's not gonna be like we're gonna use google maps yeah like I which would never Apple would never let that happen I were so you know like I use an app like Yelp and always defaults to Apple maps when I when I when I I always have the comedy I have to copy and paste from UM from it to go to Google Maps instead so the worst um yeah you can use them but I don't think it's gonna I pretty sure it won't default okay next call hi my name is bradley augustine and just touching on the iphone 6 touch disease problem a few months ago before this whole lawsuit thing came out my 6 plus had the whole touch disease thing and everyone said I was crazy it was just my phone so I go to the apple store they had no idea what I was talking about and long story short they made me purchase a 6s plus and this was before all the lawsuits for everything and it's just now that everyone's doing them stuff it's just not right that this happened to me and I'm really pissed about it so what are your thoughts pistah for you man I'm hurt for you I thought the reason why we wanted to play your call is just to really emphasize how much crap and how much bad apple pneus this whole iphone 6 touch diseases and someone might be going like why did you buy a new phone and I'm this is what I'm guessing happened your phone was out of warranty they said okay well this I don't know what you're talking about your crazy but because it's out of warranty you can either buy a screen replacement and we can see if it works for 329 or you can just buy a new phone what are most people going to do buy a new phone because why are you gonna put 329 and let me tell you this whole thick replacing the screen on iphone success hasn't fixed the touch disease issue all the time because that chip in there gets loose and then it stops working i know people that it's happened to twice that's a bummer and Apple isn't doing anything about it like that is just a bunch of crap I could like feel his dilemma like sitting in the store like I'm gonna go home without a phone right now yeah that's it's almost like leaving your house without any clothes on at this point you know so I feel your pain man well it might kind of uh I'd like to see you I mad like I know it is my time I'd like to see that I mean if it really is an uncomfortable feeling yet it's a little nerve-wracking but no one can still see my junk cool with that unless you wear your phone on your over your junk okay sure next call true hey big dog this is scott sacramento love the show got a question for you about the ipad pro at the large model my wife's recently bought the 9.7 inch ipad pro and i gotta say it's the most beautiful screen i've seen on an Apple product I feel sorry for anybody Brian who may have gotten the large I've had girl without this screen anyways my question is I'm really thinking about getting the large one myself but I want to know how long I'm gonna have to wait till Apple upgrades to the new screen thanks again another show foxy later but this guy straight up con man this guy's this guy should have called me out on his voicemail he's like Brian sucks about you sucks gonna rub it and how really sucks to me use my wife is way better than you you suck man uh I still that still burns today I don't know if I should be nice and tell you when the next iPads might be coming out maybe I should hold that information back and you can wait no it it my hunch and what people are looking at is could be the March April timeline of next year that apple will update the new iPads so uh we'll just wait until then and for those of you who don't care about iPads I'm sorry I'm gonna keep talking about I love that thing okay next last call for alcohol hi my name is matthew kowalski and i am from michigan and my question for brian is on october twenty fourth which is the rumored date for the event that will be announcing new macbooks and stuff do you think they'll release a new version of high life and a new version of the desktop i work and buy ilife i mean like garageband and I movie and stuff thank you and have a nice day I hope so I hope that we see a refresh of ilife if there was any keynote to do that it would be on the new mac release because we're talking about not only macbook pros we're talking about imax we're talking about potentially although we haven't heard a peep a new mac pro a new mac mini maybe I mean that's really that's really stretching it but uh Apple needs to show us some cool stuff software wise and hardware wise they have in the past I just think that they have they're so spread thin now the mac although is it is an important part of their product line it's just not a priority and so when you're referring to the whole Apple Keynote the latest that we know about the mac keynote is that Apple originally was set to have their earnings report on october the 27th but what they did is they changed the date just this past week and shifted their earnings report over to the 25th why would they do that the thinking is that when they announced their earnings on the twenty-fifth will probably hear about Oh iphone sales lower than expected you know a few Downers but it what's the best way to counter an earnings report that is kind of man announcing new products two days later oh yeah perfect so I think that right now circle october twenty seventh as the date for new max we've heard rumors of late october anyways i think it all lines up apple doesn't typically change the dates of their earnings report and would only do it to make room for something else so i think that keep your eye on that date it were just what a few weeks away from there yes so we said that we should expect to see that october is moving quickly October October and that's it man that's a little world where were that's last call that's last last call alright everybody thank you so much for watching or listening really mostly all y'all that are listening and just continue to have the apple byte extra crunchy nation grow remember call us 1 800
