Hell froze over again: iTunes is coming to the Windows Store (Apple Byte Extra Crunchy, Ep. 84)

2017-05-11
we're coming at you live it's the alphabet extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tom bump it to the beat from an undisclosed location huh is the Alawite extra crunchy episode 84 everybody thanks so much for hanging out with us and for all of our loyal Apple bye nation thanks for sticking around because this show is all about you all again if you want to be a part of the show call us at 1-800-669-9133 or about that recover at all we cover at all we do we do all right let's jump in the show and this is this is kind of a weird week this week I think this is a week where anything is possible and we kick it off with Microsoft had their build conference it's their Developers Conference over in Seattle today and one of the announcements that it was really funny they were announcing new key partners for Windows 10 and they showed off Spotify and the crowd was like okay that's cool and then all of a sudden they said and they had a slide in an image to verify it that iTunes is coming to the Windows Store by the end of this year like you can even check out that's that there's a tweet that they put out there from Microsoft coming out iTunes on the Windows Store and so when I first read that my first reaction was like hell froze over for a second time because this is in reference a long time ago for some of the Apple heads and people are like why are you even saying that but people that know I'm gonna give you a little history lesson here Steve Jobs long ago when they had introduced iTunes itunes had been out I believe for about a year and a half or so and earlier he had said you know he'd kind of joke that you'll never see it on Windows until hell freezes over so then finally he did announce that iTunes was coming to the Windows platform this is because the success of the iPod and he had a graphic that said hell froze over so this is kind of like the second time it's happened where iTunes has now been on a Windows platform I'm gonna tell you right now Beach uh you know me I love my iPad pro I am a religious iPad pro users but man it kind of makes me think if they have iTunes directly on that device like the surface pro 5 let's say oh yeah it becomes compelling because my ecosystem hooks are pretty much almost all their other than iMessage I get all you know all the media's there and it's native to the Windows 10 platfor I'm just I don't know it's it's kind of exciting in a weird way that I might give it a chance because I love the iPad but man the iOS for the iPad is it needs to do more yeah I got excited about this too but then a lot of the apps that come in the Windows Store they're kind of like I don't want to they're half-baked a little bit or they're like really they don't look as great as like a regular app on Windows you know what I mean like they're I know generic they look a little generic so I mean I yeah at first I was excited then I was like but it's probably going to be plugging a look kind of weird and I don't know if it's gonna function properly because I have I use iTunes on Windows all the time and it has issues you know it has a lot of bugs like mine makes that noise all the time goes dududu like like I'm done syncing or something it just randomly is that all the time for some reason I'm waiting for an update to fix that so I'm excited but you know at the same time it depends on what it's going to look like and how well it's going to function for me yeah and people are saying hey they have iTunes has already been on Windows we know that but I'm talking about like natively - kind of like that - the Windows Store like the tablet like basically a tablet type version totally you know I get I don't want to say seamlessly integrated because it's not but it has that really true native look and feel to the modern Windows 10 so I it's let me just at least say I probably won't jump over but it gave me that pause right for that for that moment I just pause I'm like man maybe I would consider this and that's what they're trying to do right they're trying to turn people like me to be like moon if the surface pro is truly that much better than there will be people beyond me that might just jump over so anyways iTunes coming to the Windows Store by the end of the year and then another announcement this time with Amazon like this has been going on for at least I swear two three years AI wars the a I'm in the middle the AI wars well before we get to yeah we are but like this this announcement according to BuzzFeed says and there were rumors about this earlier this week Apple will announce that Amazon Prime the video app Amazon Prime video will be coming to the Apple TV sometime in the summer will be announced at WWDC this is the first report that outright says we will see the Amazon Prime video app on the Apple TV sorry I spoke too quickly I thought you're gonna talk about the echo show or something you know I don't but I'm getting ahead of us but uh Amazon Prime video on Apple TV that's awesome and they've been keeping those things apart for a long time and uh it's about time that they get together well there's always been this weird thing like is there beef between the companies because right Apple is very sensitive about putting competing multimedia store fronts that have apps on their platforms and according to sources a report had earlier said that both sorry Steve Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos had actually met to just kind of grind it out and say like let's just do this thing you got to put the top Birds in the room right and they just said let's just do it okay it's gonna happen so I think this is exciting cuz that's one of those kind of missing pieces that's on every platform when you talk about video streaming services it just wasn't on Apple TV so I'm glad they got their heads out of their butts and did the damn thing yeah totally um I would love to be a fly on the wall during that meeting with Tim Cook who's tape Jeff Bezos you know it's gotta be up some crazy conversation that they were having they're like how's your spaceship going oh cool yeah you know how's your billion-dollar trillion-dollar fund uh you know rich guy knock hey you want you want to do a Amazon Prime video or not so let's do that yeah how's your primary owns going oh it's doing awesome yeah we'll be able to deliver your phones by via drone in the next year so oh yeah that's cool hey you want to talk about Amazon Prime or what yeah yeah what's what's up with the Apple car is that happening oh no it's not oh I'm sorry my bad another big thing that Amazon dropped and Steve's talking just write directly to it the Amazon echo show is their new really it's their new echo product but with a video screen it's basically kind of like what we imagine video phones from like the 80s and 90s to be but what makes it special or what makes it smarter is the echo platform is completely integrated into it it's a widescreen touchscreen it has a big rectangular speaker on the bottom and you can use it for calls so let's say grandma grandpa mom and dad cross country you can make video phone calls directly through it has a video camera as well I polled people on Twitter just to see how excited they were because quite honestly I wasn't super juiced about this because I'm not the type that's gonna have like I don't I already have FaceTime on my phone and I feel like if you have just the sitting video screen that could you could get called any time it's kind of like yeah and I already have an echo right yeah I wasn't excited about either seems like a you know I don't know it's like another we have so many ways to call right now it's a nice again why and I think trust me I'm not knocking a video phone by any means I think this product will do pretty well the thing is it's gonna retail at 230 dollars I if I could recall right I think the because I haven't bought in a while I think the standard Amazon echo is around 150 160 is that right am I totally enough you guys gals can click me yeah I think it's probably a little less now like to keep lowering the price on everything the echo dot is like going down in price - yeah that one's like 50 bucks yeah yeah um but yeah I was I had the same reaction as you like I was not excite I'm like oh you know another thing another screen uh it's it's not that great it would be cool if you could connect it to your television maybe and then say Amazon Prime and play this movie or something and it just starts playing a movie for you and then it just becomes like it replaces your echo dot dot in your you know and and the other echo products um that would be cool but I didn't really I haven't looked that much into it to be honest it did it it was one of those things where I love I'm that goes I'm Amazon's biggest fan when it comes to the whole echo platform but it was one of those things where I'm like do do I really need this right now and the answer for me right now is no um I even let me see if I can put up this pole you won't be able to see it but I'm just hoping that the results will load up but I asked people on my Twitter you know the Amazon echo show I like to do instead of a yes or no I like to do yes or pass what you think about yeah like that or pass way more fun yeah 22 percent said yes 63 percent said pass 15 percent said Google home users that was out of 350 votes so you know mode the tooth more about two-thirds of people are like and I'm good I'll pass on it but I think if you know I was wanted to get my if I wanted to get my mom and dad and I had kids and be able to really easily just do something like that I could see how it does fit Annie but it's not gonna be I don't think is gonna sell nearly as much as a regular echo it's just not no well actually last night you know it's just lying in bed going through my phone and I saw that that Amazon echo app had updated a completely changed like the artwork and everything changed and I went through and it started like almost like it was taking me through setting up my echo dot all over again sort of you know it's kind of taking me through this thing and then asked for my phone number so I can make phone calls and I quickly was like no no way I do not want that I don't want people calling me on my echo you know so you know it's immediately I was not happy or didn't want to do it you know so quick thing we are going to talk about how this connects to Apple but there were reports that basically Amazon had invested in this start called nucleus that has a video type phone product that can be stuck on walls and whatnot and then essentially kind of cloned its product for the new echo and I get it like again Amazon invested money in nucleus and some people are little noise people most people have any I didn't even know what quite honestly right I'll be the first day I even know what nucleus was until I read about the story but a lot of times in the tech world it's like saying the Samsung Galaxy copied the iPhone copied the samsung galaxy which copied the iPhone which you know it gets the point where look the reason why this is different is has the echo guts and brains inside of it and that's gonna always make a lot of these products that might be the same you put in a different platform in it or a different ecosystem like apples ecosystem that's what can makes a product that might be normal more special because of those hooks yeah true true so here's here's what here's the fun meet about this so the echo show was announced I believe in Tuesday of this past week but right before that over the weekend Phil Schiller did an interview with a website called gadgets 360 now in this interview he was basically asked oh you know how is what do you think about voice assistance like the Amazon echo like the Google home and here's here's what he had to say now he basically let me just get to his first thing the first thing he said in response to that is that my mother told me my mother used to have a saying this is his quotes I want to asked about the Google home and Amazon's echo my mother used to have a saying that if you don't have something nice to say say nothing at all what that hockey jerks respite come on dude someone's asking you about voice assistance and you can't even comment like right off the bat on the state of voices ins you just go you just go in on them like yeah I'm gonna its first of all if you're the VP of Marketing for one of the top tech companies of the world you've got to do better than that you can't be a d-bag when he chose to be a d-bag sounds like he's a little defensive like it's almost like borderline worried you know cuz Siri a lot of people or not series not as hot you know so that's interesting so then they went on to ask him to elaborate about voice assistance and he did make an interesting point now he talked this is what he says there's many moments where a voice assistant is really beneficial but that doesn't mean you'd never want a screen so the idea of not having a screen I don't think suits many situations and what he's basically saying is if you have these voice assistants out there you should have a screen on them and so guess who dropped like literally three days later after he said this a voice assistant with a screen Amazon okay and I know and I know he's also relating like hey our phones which have screens have a voice assistant but I'm like Phil you're just jealous like you can't talk you know what about another company when they've had something that is probably the most in this most exciting space of consumer tech we've seen in a while you have nothing to show for two years and you're talking junk about Amazon and Google home that's that's so petty it's so petty well I completely disagree with him because he's saying you need a screen I mean like I use my echo dot a lot I talked to it a lot it does a lot of things for me and I'm all like way far away from it I'm across the room sometimes even upstairs or you just on my phone or something you know but a lot 99% of the time I'm not looking at a screen I'm just yelling I'm just yelling uh you know things at the echo so I think he's he's wrong I disagree with him on that the only thing I wish that the echo had on it was actually just some sort of visual clock so I don't sometimes I'm not in in view of a clock yeah I know you got your phone on you but not but it's I wish you just had like oh I can see the time on it or something so anyways this is all building up because Apple is rumored to be doing a series speaker of their own that could potentially have a video screen on it that would be a Serie B speaker and look we don't know if it's want to happen at all right now Echo's have grabbed 70% of the US market invoice assisted speakers okay that is beast okay Google accounts for the rest all right so Apple again we've talked about this a while ago Apple's going to be the third player in the market I typically there's really only room for two and then the third one is always kind of like their um Google's getting more device support Google's actually smarter but it's just not as practical right now Google's home is the smarter of the two based on the algorithm but I mean come on for applet talk junk like that it's that this is this is the stuff that drives me crazy like they are still acting like the cocky we do everything the best when they don't yeah yeah I mean he's the man he's saying it wouldn't be cool without a screen and then also their laptops don't need to have touch screens so there's just a lot of disconnect there you know can I die so we'll see how it plays out I am actually though really curious about WWDC because look Apple hasn't really released too many new products this year yet it's like everything is starting to stack up towards the second half of the year we're talking about we haven't seen iPads we haven't seen MacBook Pros we haven't seen max we haven't seen Apple watch we haven't seen iPhone we won't we won't most likely see Mac Pro Apple TV mean I mean there's so many things like this could just be a bang bang bang summer release all the way through the fall if you get pretty wild so but I'm just waiting for Apple to drop something us instead of complain about other companies for doing something that they haven't done yeah we're like almost half half the years almost over it's almost six months in and that's what I'm talking about so they're just gonna like you know they're gonna drop a bunch of stuff on us and just try to dominate the conversation for the second half of the year that's probably what's gonna happen we'll see we'll see I mean we'll see Microsoft build had a lot of cool stuff today that works with everything to it like you know timeline you can be on your phone and Cortana it'll work on iPhone Android everywhere you can pick up where you left off so there's a lot of there's a lot of cool competition happening we're curious to see what's going to lots shakin alright let's transition over a little bit to the Apple watch this is a really cool report coming out from TechCrunch and basically a study a research study conducted by the University of California San Francisco and the team behind the cardiogram app has found that Apple's the Apple watch's built-in heart monitor is 97 percent accurate when detecting the most common form of an abnormal heart rhythm when paired with an algorithm to sort through the data so they're basically saying that the tech on the Apple watch is good enough to be able to detect abnormal heart rhythms heart arrhythmia as we've heard the term there were 6158 participants in the study they all use the cardiogram app on the Apple watch them onto their heart rate most are known have normal EKG readings but 200 them suffer from a regular heart beat so I just found this fascinating because we talked about the accuracy of some of these fitness devices I still personally based on my experience feel like the Fitbit is a better fitness like actual step tracker than the Apple watch I've used them both on multiple hikes compared the final result of distance cover to the official distance of trails but when it comes to and they both have heart rate sensors on it but I just found this really compelling from a standpoint of apples trying to continue to push these health and wellness initiatives and this is just another thing you know they quiver right that they have that they can just say it look we have the best of XYZ and everyone is wearing this stuff so I like that we're starting to see not the sexiest stuff but when it comes to this real medical science proof of not only proof of concept but proof that it works it's starting to make these devices across the board whether it's Apple or other companies make them more useful and quite honestly potentially life-saving more you know something like that that's important yeah they're getting close to just being in all hospitals you know like being in it you're a Cajun you're not going to have those bunch of wires connected to you're just gonna have an Apple watch on they're getting closer to that and that's really cool you mean yeah even with apples health out there they're basically taking all this data pulled from your devices and from your apps and trying to throw it all into one single app that you can maybe use whether it's medical history or what your current situation or your past readings over the past two weeks when you go to a physician and show them this stuff that they can actually just look at right away and be like okay this is the data that I need it's kind of its kind of crazy where this could potentially go so I'm on board with it it's just not sexy but it's cool I'm in another health wellness story Apple has acquired beddit it's the iPhone connected sleep monitoring system and so what this is this is like this long strip that you put on your bed between your mattress and then like the top blankets and it basically measures like your respiration heart rate movement snoring room temperature room hooome humidity all those things like that and then gives you that data to the iPhone it's being sold in Apple stores right now oh wow but yeah for $150 but Apple acquired the company oh wow cool so I just feel like this is another thing as you're trying to build out this whole health well so we know this is going to be in hospitals too man you're gonna be wearing your Apple watch with this beddit thing I mean they're gonna be in every hospital in America I'm I'm predicting right now that's my prediction well I'll tell you I could tell you my bed at readings for you right now oh please vigorous activity oh did you break the bed it no no not honestly I'm completely lying right now that's just not true it's just not true it's not true it's like the Bennets activities like oh little wussy goes to sleep at 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. I don't go to sleep that early I don't go to you might go to think that early because you're a kid oh yeah I'm by 10 a.m. I'm fried you can't even get me up out of it anywhere so anyways that's really cool yeah Apple Apple acquires this company called beddit so we'll be interesting to see that that's something that'll you know be put together with them down the line but they're starting to build a lot of stuff let's jump over to iPhone 7 in a fun little report just in case you guys are all wondering what's what's going on with on with Apple is the word is the sky falling we aren't selling as many units according to strategy analytics the Apple iPhone 7 was the top smelling smelling top selling smells smells it also the smells the top selling smartphone during the first quarter of 2017 despite a year-over-year drop in sales they estimated that the iPhone 7 accounted for 6.1 percent of total smartphones while the iPhone 7 plus captured four point nine percent that would be for the q1 of 2017 so that's January through March what's interesting is that in third place was a phone from Asia called the Oppo r9 and if you look up what the Oppo RNA and looks like it looks like a complete knockoff of the iPhone 7 is that pig fat in here and this is not the article but you know what is it a good art but what Oh Q P o r9 but this cracks me up cuz it's like oh maybe people that are dumb and thought it was the iPhone bought it because it's also cheaper don't get me wrong but it's it's it's from an Asian company the Galaxy s8 did not come out until April so that's not included in these numbers but there you go cuz you sledder watching it looks like an iphone looks exactly like an iPhone but kind of like with an Android button on the bottom yeah oh we do we do want to finish up at least with our stories before we get to our calls with the iPhone 8 stuff um beach' model if you can I want you to cube the video instead of the article because this is this is the latest this is a video rendering of the new what is believed to be the new iPhone 8 based on the most current leaked CAD images this is brought to us from on leaks and gear India but what it is is it's there you go it looks like a single slate of glass but what's interesting is if you look at the top where the camera senses are it looks different um you have the rear protruding camera on the back that I'm like do Apple can't you just not make the camera protrude anymore can you just do something about that that's not the case but um there's an article that I put in here that basically shows off that the camera sensors are going to be on the top of the of the of the phone but they kind of jut out and if you look at some of the images that are out there you'll see what I mean it looks different where it's not a clean black line until you actually use the phone so if you like have your wallpaper you're gonna have this kind of like little trapezoid coming out from the top of your phone and then when you unlock it you'll kind of have a steady black bar with all you know the Wi-Fi and your cell signal and your battery life on that top bar you you'll see you'll see just just go look it up but I don't know I'm curious how this whole I'm curious how this iPhone 8 really shapes up we know everything we've seen and we'll just have to wait for to be confirmed because it feels like we really know a lot about this already I still kind of wish that they put the you know the little button there's one button on the side that'll like turn off your iPhone I wish they would move that back to the top because every time I try to turn it off I end up like hitting the volume and I turn my in and you know I can't turn my screen off because I'm yeah accidentally hitting the volume and it's very annoying so I wish it would put that bun back on the top that's that's my wish Apple thank you the head wishes by Steven B Jim dheere dheere dheere Apple um and then just a couple two quick bullet points a report from JPMorgan says that Apple is expected to bring an enhanced receiver so that and what audio receiver what that will help is with better stereo sound and potentially even better waterproofing but it's kind of a no-brainer right now this next phone has to have ip68 plenty of phones have that including phones with headphone jacks I actually have an IP 68 rating but Apple doesn't and they don't have a headphone jack so they've got to do that and then the last rumor who knows if this is true or not a lot of reports are saying that because of supply shortages and problems in the production line that has slowed down this because of the new design the new screens even sensor related issues of getting that technology lock down it could potentially see the iPhone eight ship out in october/november instead of the September timeframe so that's God's throne out there well that's kind of very close to the holiday season so we'll see we'll see how it all shakes out but again those are just iPhone 8 rumors I want to talk about no more cuz like we're probably sick of them by now right no way man I can't get enough give me more who wants more who wants mo mo fo meemers okay should we get to the phone calls yes let's do it alright that's you guys thank everybody who called in we got a lot of good voicemails and here's the first one hey Guillermo hi Oh again and my question is what is what's up with Apple and their new design of ethyl 8 is not really impressive I don't really like the design of the camera with yeah so that's basically my only question and also Apple hasn't really been oppressing me lately I don't know I'm not too impressed that's just my thoughts how can I say hi she's not impressed oh man just reminds me of that picture of the Olympian from the Team USA on the gymnastics quad from do you remember that yeah yeah yeah not impressed Jerry the thing is that I think no matter what if you're an i if you're an apple lover and you're in the ecosystem I think people get giddy about new phones Jerry cook good pole beat yeah so not impressed yeah not impressed I think people are gonna like this phone either way I'd I think they might poopoo on the 7s and 7s plus but I'm I'm just more bored because you know this is all rumor and speculation but a lot of it's probably pretty close to what it's going to be like and we just hear it every we will continue to hear through September and possibly October November it's like there's got to be more to life than that yeah yeah there's gotta be it will sell more than the iPhone 7 though right yeah they always do okay next call hey PJ Brian it's me John from southern Minnesota I was just wondering about like the new Apple AirPlay speaker series speaker whatever you think they're gonna call it do you think it'll be branded under apple or beets since like you know beets makes speakers like the beats pill in the pill XL and what that so do you think you'll be branded under Beats or under Apple thanks have a good one - good thanks for the call yeah I you know I think no matter what they if it's a Serie B speaker it's gonna be an Apple product uh I think it'll tilt out that there's Beats technology right you know they might have their beep yeah equalizer settings in an app you know some of their you know hardware stuff in there fine that that's fine that that can be beats whatever but it's gonna be an Apple branded speaker uh you know if it looks like kind of what the what is it called it the UE boom um that's just kind of like a cylinder with a mesh speaker around it okay we've seen that before I just again a 70% of smart speakers Amazon owns right now I wonder how much that number would change because I think the general consensus at least in the tech space is that Siri is not that great but to the general consumer that doesn't pay attention to that I think they might think that Oh series great you know a lot of people are gonna be buying this thing that haven't experienced these AI products and they're Apple is going to be their first introduction to it that's what's always kind of crazy when you when you take a step back and think about Oh what about my mom or my grandparents like they're gonna be like oh you know the headline Apple makes a smart speaker and there's a majority people who feel this is the first smart hear they have ever heard of and Apple made it true true but you could it happen he makes a good prediction though because you could bet like down the line maybe even next year beats will have one and it'll be like Apple hunt with Apple home you know with Apple home inside and Siri inside everything so they probably won't make one in the future just I don't think it's going to be Apple's flagship AI speaker you know I mean someone in our periscope just said my parents are still confused by the echo so there's room for innovation and I think it's just some people trust the idea that app made something so I'm gonna learn about it and it's my phone's an apple so yeah I'll learn about this where's you tell someone like hey Amazon made a smart speaker outside of the tech world they're gonna be like huh like how do I use it I don't want to learn those commands I don't I don't get it I don't but then also you put the Apple name on it they're like oh yeah I'll figure this out right there there's a cycle psychology and mentality that works that way yeah my dad is like afraid of the echo he's like I got things recording me right now I was like oh no one will be around it you know he's like fraid of it it's funny and this is right Alice yeah I don't know I don't know what he would do I don't think you would have any kind of speaker and it is you know that's listening to him uh it would really be funny though Beach if like Apple releases ones like hey Steve did you hear about the Apple Smart speaker ha ha Greg yeah dad now he doesn't even like having this picture on online anywhere like if I put something on Facebook he's like no no no I never do so you know that's how he is okay next call let's see here we go hey Apple byte um this is Wes in Atlanta I'm actually just had a question I'm happen to be looking through nine to five Mac and it talked about iOS eleven uh do you think they're finally going to do split screen on the plus when are we going to get that I love to just watch youtube videos or watch the Apple byte as I'm also looking on nine to five max calm anyway I love you guys love the show Thanks you mean you mean as you're reading cnet.com yes please which gets a lot of its Apple scoops from nine to five you know what uh if they do split screen on the iPhone obviously we'd hope it at least be on the plus but to Beechum's point in multiple shows they still haven't given us horizontal freaking landscape iTunes I know come on please so pathetic dude it's easy to do it's so bad it's like seriously I and why can I use the I the iPhone in landscape mode on the home screen on just Plus and not the frickin regular iPhone I hate that I think that is so lame that's one of the lamest things just make it the same so yeah you can do it on the iPad split-screen that's one of the exclusive features to iOS on the iPad but I would like that very much too I agree I've actually never tried split screen on an iPad I'd be curious to see how that works but it works nice it's really it's really easy straightforward okay cool okay next call hey guys it's Ryan from Sacramento I wanted to get your opinion on the touch ID sensor which currently on iPhone 7 and past iPhones can work kind of sketchy sometimes it works sometimes it does and I'd say it has about a 75% success rate it depends whether your hands are sweaty wet dirty anyways wanted to know with the if they end up putting it underneath the glass on the new iPhone 8 or the iPhone future do you think the reliability will be a little bit better or do you think it'll still be sketchy because it's a new technology maybe have a few issues with it since maybe one of the first phones but it puts it underneath the glass love the show guys look forward to your opinion thanks I think that I just think that the touch ID sensor it's gonna be the same sensor there's gonna pop it on the rear so I really think that accuracy wise it's most likely going to be the same and I'm sorry if you have sweaty fingers maybe maybe maybe our Apple biter maybe got the sweaty thing he's right like right after you get out the shower or you wash the dishes or something you can't unlock your phone unless you tie down the number it's a holy trick it's totally true so um but I think that underneath the glass the reason why we aren't seeing any true confirmations of it is because like to your point the accuracy is gonna have to be a lot better when it's through glass right this is using optics too and even there you know some of the patent reports talked about how there's audio signals that are sending vibrations to kind of read the base of your finger and the different imperfections that identify you like this is not easy stuff right and I would never be like oh app well you couldn't get on the front screen Samsung had over a year to do it they couldn't do it in the Galaxy s8 product we'll see if they even get it into the note 8 time Apple is kind of facing the same issue that this is just not as easy as people thought and you know this is some of the challenges that technology has I hope I hope they can do it because it's they really need something to tout that we have actual hardware technological features that are more advanced than what is right now the best phone on the market at the Galaxy s8 from a technology standpoint and for Apple to really claim and make you know have bragging rights that we're the best and be able to back it up because that's what they always say they need to do something like that so if they don't I'm not gonna not buy the next iPhone I still think the fingerprint sensor on the back I have a Google pixel it works perfectly fine I like it there it's not that big of a deal but I know yes ideally get it on the front get on the home screen we'll have to see if they do it or not yeah that that sensories talking about and you were talking about with the audio signals the very I feel like we don't know how well that's going to do but it seems like it would be a little more accurate than the optical way that it's working now if it's using like a you know like a frequency to measure your finger I don't know we just it we'd have to test it out to see but if to me I feel like it could be more accurate than what we have now so oh okay I need I need to address a comment someone wrote I'm in the periscope I think his name was Ken there talk like Oh sweaty fingers from watching the Warriors lose three one of the Cavs come on man oh why people burning us still on that so it so petty who's your team for reals who's your team you don't got a team your team sucks is it looking like the Warriors are gonna meet the Cavs again it's kind of looking that well right sure oh well I'm not one to jump ahead but uh it looks pretty strong rematch that'll be fun to watch it'll be fun it'll be fun okay we have one more call here we go hello I'm Nelson from Westchester Ohio a quick question is the pixel xB pixel XL they're the bigger one is it still relevant at this time or should I wait until Google comes out with its next Thanks take care then love your videos all right bye-bye cool bro is this an Apple bite or the Google bite I know Google issues it's the Apple licious what does happen no it was funny we put this call in because we're like people are calling our apple the Apple bites show about Google phones now that mean that's how far Apple has drifted from their audience so I just thought it was interesting maybe we should do a show that covers all things in this older space we could good oh now look quick because we show love and look I'm not just an Apple freak the timing you got oh don't get a new pixel now wait for the next one it should be getting announced in the next three or four months just don't we already saw their first entry in the market which quite honestly to me was an amazing first entry because they came up with two things that no one had the best voice assistant on planet earth and still to this day based on the rankings the best camera in a smartphone Oh on that on that phone on the Google pics so just wait for the next gen your you shouldn't need to buy one now and call back with an Apple question next week I do you have to point out though that Vanessa hand Arianna did a video pixel versus iPhone in the iPhone camera or the video video camera was better on the iPhone plus than the pixel correct so based on out base on how they shot it I'm gonna based on yeah they stated they do at nighttime and a boat and some like really difficult settings you know so yeah it's you know if you want the camera its camera video there's a it's kind of a toss-up there it's like most people Colette's be real no matter what you tell people about a camera it's not like everyone bought a Google pixel because it had the best rated camera based on both results and actual metrics like visual results and actual metrics it had the best camera but it didn't look did everyone buy a Google pixel no but a good amount but it was a great start for Google I mean I'm like I wasn't pressed their first in-house phone uh we should I think will in the show because we're not time on Apple cool yeah all right everybody excellent thanks so much again you guys and gals can call us I love all the calls that were sent in thanks so much again that number is
