K I'm Alfred Inge and with us is Scott sign and share profits yes hi we're all gonna be talking about iPhone obviously it's a tenth anniversary of the original launch so instead of we've talked a lot about the iPhone and its impact on the industry and the world and everything we just wanted to take a little bit more personal and I want to ask everyone and really discuss how the iPhone has changed your life personally Wow like iPhone therapy right I know we're gonna get real deep here you get dark he could get scary it could be I don't know well Scott's been watching a lot of black mirrors so I'm curious to hear what you think yeah what is what is the Scott's I know who the man who's basically reviewed what was the last four or five iPhones at this point yeah since 2012 yeah 5 so last last 5 years of iPhones half of the iPhones existence uh it is it's always with me and so you've sort of always on you're always connected and I know that's not just the iPhone that did it used phones before that that had done that but that was one we're really the more and more you could do with it as my son once said to me you care about that thing a lot maybe said you care about it more than you care about me that's a joke I hope it was a joke but there's a little truth of that yes I mean everyone trying to disconnect now is because you can do a lot of things you take it with you whether it's games whether it's email whether it's video photos and the need to share the need to interact and then having work on your leash yeah um or you're on work solution that is all increasingly a part of it and making that the first thing you check is one step towards us becoming like a node in some network Wow that's a that's a really maitre died what is exactly what I was hoping you'd say okay good that was very black nurse totally and what about you please tell me you've got something more chipper all right I would say that i and i i can't necessarily you know tie to the iphone specifically however the iphone i okay let's just say the iphone has kind of encouraged me to disconnect more oh there you know it does force you into and always-on life and there are so many apps you can track everything from sleep to what you're you know like there are so many reasons to use it now that i had like an epiphany that you know what I need a disconnect more so I will literally leave I will leave my phone at home sometime whoa and just go to the store do you have one there's no phones you know those I want I want a simple phone I do know the no phone is actually just a piece of plastic there's no I'm not there I'm not there yet but I should be so I so even though the iPhone has overwhelmed me with technology and reasons to look down and ruin my neck it's I think even more so encouraged me to connect with people IRL I mean I would just say for me I mean element of thumb oh I think everyone kind of deals with that fear of missing out and I had it before but I feel like the iPhone I'm taking a dark again like yeah reinforce that element like I'm always checking because I'm always fearful that I'm missing something whether it's a work email whether it's some news update whether it's something that's trending that's why I feel like I always have to be on so that yeah as dark as man it's a bit of a drag yeah everyone has had really insightful takes on how the iPhone has changed their lives and I'm about to take it into the dumps so basically to me the iPhone has changed the way that I use the bathroom forever I don't need to like bring a book or a magazine in the restroom it has changed my life I just go in I all I needed my phone I can talk to my friends there i watch shows on Netflix they're all on reddit how will you stay the bats you got a watch I'll give you my medical opinion that's how it's chat or do you watch like half hours okay there's so much worse as a bathroom sometimes I walk to the bathroom I don't have my phone and I'll turn back and grab it and go back yeah okay unfortunately that's all the time we have outs oh we're on all the iPhone anniversary coverage check us out seen it I'm Roger Chang I'm Alfred Inge I'm Scott Stein and I'm Sharon Profis thanks for listening take it away I remind you though Matthew - or did point out that I'm the man with a button so I'll cut you off in a heartbeat all right I thought you're gonna cut out frog after a while after the look everyone had like I said I'm going to take this into the dump yeah no no what nobody did warn us that was right no one went in the porn direction so at least that's true maybe you got your full powers can that happen it's definitely changed the world of porn so yeah Matthew Thatcher says iPhones killing the magazines and bathroom industry was that an industry you got to get comfortable about toilet hey Steph joke books that you could straight up just put like next to light yeah yeah this is boring adulting but I was at Home Depot looking for a new toilet roll dispenser and there is one that includes a shelf for an iPhone that's a minute I really wanted to but I thought you know trying to disconnect a charge that would be the iPhone 8 is wireless charging they'll develop those at all business yeah for theaters just gonna come up as a wireless charging TP dispenser I like it although you know a new charging flash charging flush searching some flash charging yes yikes on bikes do we have any questions or thoughts from our viewers there's a lot of great debate going on back and forth between the 4 inch screen versus those who prefer the bigger screens and basically showcasing that Apple if nothing else it's run the entire gamut of how much pocket space real estate they can occupy yeah and found an audience to latch on to in every place can you your chatter he's one of your more dot has he recently well not recently but a few months ago reviewed original iPhone which has a 3.5 inch screen like well what did it feel like going back to that that's green so it's great well the whole phone is small and you realize that was kind of bulky right go back to the design probably was bulky but it was kind of awesome because I remember taking that on well this sounds sad now to say that took it on my honeymoon but the thing is at the time it wasn't bless it wasn't nice to have it so well yeah do your work with you it was taking a little iPod on a trip yes and every once in a while if we needed to check email we were able to look in a Wi-Fi and do that right that was it or web browsing so it wasn't like that wasn't so not romantic but it was great because there's a little pocket device that could go places like a phone like a fucking but but so you can actually use with one hand it was small like it was like a little super ice of the Gameboy micro so that thing was awesome I think was like a belt buckle size micro it was a super small game I don't remember I have a rare the like it wasn't like that available yeah but was like I just I always loved like super pocketable gadgets and so yeah even though it was bulky the iPhone did feel super portable I feel that since then the iPhone obviously got a bigger screen but it's also more of a surf board where it's very thin yeah wide and more cumbersome whereas the original felt like a bulky cases on their phones I think there's jerks no they help you I know people that have the cases that's like it's like a giant french fry like huge and I'm like I hate all of you why do you do it I just use like a basic case and then have my clear case yeah my Li del are past that I flash to the conductor I once dropped my worst phone drop stories it's like my never knock on wood or plastic cracked but one time I got stiff wind blew by and like my phone blew out of my hands under a car and threw some dog poo that's a very powerful way oh it was on the West Side Highway the poop save it no it just got old cry it was awful did we did like pick it up like forensics and how did you wipe it down over a long period of time what's down with another phone was there alcohol wipes I don't know I don't know it was really upsetting which froze it was winter is this like frozen no back to the original sign though like I wish they went back to that like small screen size every time we do podcast when our new phones about to come on a smaller screen I just want a smaller screen just give me a smaller phone all these giant screens around already and just let me like airdrop stuff onto that and like watch it from there I don't want just just put more screens around everywhere else and let me have a small thing in my pocket like so perfect yeah it's there honestly with that I hope that there's always talk about whether they'll just continue out there continue it but I think that that should be continued to be explored like the little yeah the little it's no coincidence that now you have at least what three or four newbie phone makers making these super simple phones that are supposed to be secondary phone yeah and your weekend phones we released the original iPhone was the iPhone whoa upgrade all the specs on the screen to keep that design honestly I would buy I would see how it like crazy no as if iPhones don't sell but what a productive show we have to business idea would it by the way would it run apps though yeah no I mean like it's it's like the NES classic yeah they're like a phone Oh got it the original iPhone was so slow because it also ran edge it was like everything else a lot of that premium phones had 3G so you actually were compromising speed oh yeah to get the new iPhone and you'd have to wait to hop on a low E you're still doing that now like those radios are slower than Android phones right pretty much all the time Apple is I was talking about this the other like Apple has always introduced a lot of major steps in tech later than everyone else course that's a roll in with their roll in with an innovation three years later they make it useful for everyone we're like polishing in the shop and they're like here's art here's our variation on it right I mean they weren't the first smartphone maker by far right they there was years already a mature market employed it's not for the iPhone is not for early adopters maybe the first one was if you were an early adopter well yeah that one was cause like it was super expensive right that was earlier yeah but generally today it's not really it's perhaps it's for grandma and and you and I yes I'm part of that mass of consumers yes I'm curious what the rumors are like the more advanced camera in the iPhone eight whether it's gonna be like they are ready or have some sort of lasers or glazes you know I want to be able to scan something like google tango there's been it's not it's not actual users that can kill you able to do better already yes with that optional part which would help with the portrait mode do you know what I really wanted to do is something like Blade Runner where I could take a 3d photo where you could kind of move and edit it and do some sort of crazy like enhance thing you can do that like going back to dewers anything yeah before we let the show get too far off the rails no wait this lets farm out a little bit from the chat Andi Cruz hashtag courage OB says awesome dab Sharon props to you great mr. lizard is giving props out to Scott's beer today since it's totally on point I like it I don't even do anything with it today now I'm gonna have all sorts of mind games playing in my head he's like what do i do how do i replicate this let's keep going let's move on before we get consumed furthermore from great mr. lizard he says the best part about the iPhone is video watching people taking pictures of the phones with real cameras easiest expanding on the concept of the what we talked about yesterday would like this whole fad of the bouquet effect yeah you know everyone is also photographer now and there's something to be said about that but between the camera performance and screen size that seems to be two of the biggest arguing factors in the chat right now about Wi-Fi in terms between favorite model within the iPhone family got it so I remember there's a lot of se loyalists is a great fault yes he is a internally fantastic I just wish Android like OMS would take a hint and give me smaller phones because I want to be nice Android device do that but the only line somewhere along the line small phone equated cheap phone and so they don't I have no problem with a cheap phone they do they want to suck they want to build big phones for you to buy and spend more money on your big boy that wants a small boy with cameras we're like I hear my cameras pop I remember the iPhone 5s was maybe the one that at CES one year we'd be yelled at for doing it now but like I took most of my photos for things that I posted and phonetics on the 5s and used them and they were generally fine at the time and it simply because there was always a debate we have fantastic camera equipment here in photographers they can always take better photos you should do that but it is still advancing to the point where it on a professional level in a pinch the top end phones can can do some good stuff definitely and I still wouldn't leave a main camera behind I would say I would take the optimistic view and say that this is only going to push the professional photography photography industry further like professionals will have to be more creative and actually you know they you can't just get away with carrying around a big heavy camera you have to utilize it to the max which I mean for any photographer worth their salt right they probably already know this right definitely it's a craft that they've developed it's not just us pointing a camera a thing definitely greatness and in the post editing I'm the editing as well the post-production is even more written out and honestly I think it makes it more fun and creative and yeah I you even though yes everyone can have great camera because they have a phone if you're flipping through Instagram you can still see who's yeah everyone has a great camera not everybody's taking great photos now stop using flash to take food photos but I eat in a cave because he's a millennial that's apparently what these closer to them oh boy so let's eat your old gen Z or what is he doesn't have a champion TV do you like weight today is Jen what someone asking let's just talk about a couple of practicalities Bataille besides cameras and such because it's always kind of in the power of the holder imagine soggy says can we get a durable phone I would love a phone where I don't need a screen protector there you go yeah there's a durable like do you guys do screen protector yes ma'am I don't my case is like super like finish I just I the only reason why I even have this case is because like rats grip yeah it's like it's exactly like holding a fish all the rabbit they don't want to make durable phones or Sharon said things yeah that's terrible business right there I wish these things are supposed to years right around when you're ready for an upgrade it would be so expensive I feel like water resistance this movement with water since is one step towards that in the sense well yeah because at least the the major phones now have pretty decent its you should don't take it swimming yeah they're not losing much by waterproofing it yeah not falling in a lake you hit a fresh water like okay you're spilling coffee on it you're you know what the waterproofing really does help with though like selfies when you're rafting honestly that's like it's okay guys all right I went kayaking last summer and I left my phone like we're like in the car and my friend was like I need a ziploc bag for my phone cuz I don't want it to like get wet or anything because I want to take photos while we're on this like just kayak dude yeah you don't have to like take photos of every yes and we're getting put back on track here question from great mr. lizard this seems appropriate how many times if all of you lost your phone into the toilet zero zero what what my wife died well when you have it in your back pocket yep dead right did you not didn't recover that phone did you it it was out that almost happened to me with galaxy s7 but that's because it's huge and it wasn't my back and it's my back pocket what it is water-resistant yes but yeah it was like folding over and almost fell in but thanks to my quick reflexes I broke the screen instead the toilet so dedication how many toilets have you lost because of your iPhones oh my god well great mr. lizards asking where's Ben where has been today he's out of town oh you had to get rid of it he will be back for our podcast next week yeah which by the way as we're getting to the end of the show here today yeah we just want some important well we
