hello everybody good day to you my name is Steven beech and producer of the Apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tong what's up everybody welcome to the show guess what it is it is episode 105 doing it right here with beech and tong apple byte extra crunchy doing it extra Munchie this is the show all of its our complimentary piece to our weekly video podcast show that's like just about five six minutes five six seven depending but this show is all about you guys and gals it's the latest news news stories drop between the time we post that showing this one also we want you all to be a part of the show we got tons of great calls one that makes me actually very me and beats very happy today the number is [Laughter] does not let you watch it in iTunes which is kind of annoying because most of my stuff is in iTunes so what happened is these uh five movie studios we have let me see here Disney Pixar Marvel Studios that's kind of under one in Lukis films Disney Studios 20th Century Fox Film Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers all agreed that wherever as long as you redeem or buy these movies on a digital service you'll be able to see it anywhere everywhere so what does that mean if you have a Vudu with like maybe eight or ten movies that aren't on your iTunes you sign up for movies anywhere you link your different accounts and all of those movies end up migrating on to this movies anywhere app but even better because they all talk to each other I don't even have to use the movies anywhere app it's just a service you sign up for and link your accounts I can just jump right into iTunes or into my Apple TV or my phone or my tablet and all the movies from all those services now show up in one place like boom it's awesome like honest this is what we have been wanting for for a long time I know some of you don't really care about digital downloads but if you're someone who's on the go you want it all in one place the two studios major studios that are not a part of this right now our Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate so get off you make you know they're gonna get on board also if you have purchased movies from a game console meaning if you've purchased them from Microsoft's Microsoft Store or from the PlayStation Store those movies are not compatible where it crosses over with the service yet they're looking to get new partners but this is to me this is a big deal and then Beach to your point you get five free movies when you sign up two of the services it is iTunes Amazon Google Play and Vudu I'm pretty sure almost everyone has two of those for that they can sign up for sure so I had a little trouble signing up to iTunes and like kept giving me an error but eventually it worked but this is now killer because Amazon the Amazon video app doesn't have chromecast ability right so like most of the movies that I own are on Amazon so now then i ported them over to the moon anywhere now it has chromecast so that's gonna be like my go to like if I want to find any of my movies that's gonna be my go to just chromecast it to the television real quick that is that is a big deal right there for me it's a huge deal it and it's this is not just an Apple thing it works on iOS it works on Android it works on Apple TV Roku Kindle Fire Amazon fire TV and chromecast so weather and again you can use the movies anywhere up if you like voodoo you can use voodoo if you like the watch TV or iTunes ecosystem you can use that it's really cool and so um the other thing that I want to bring up is the five movies that are part of this they're good so they're good movies except for one and I'm gonna I'm gonna let you I want to know which one which I want to know which one you think is the bus okay so here's the thing if you first sign up with one account on the movies anywhere service meaning if it's an iTunes Vudu google play amazon you will get ice age and ghostbusters the new Ghostbusters for free if you add an additional account whether it's an iTunes Vudu Google or Amazon you'll get three more movies the lego movie Jason Bourne and big hero 6 all right so I want to know from you Beach which you think is the worst of those five movies definitely Jason I've never seen a Jason Bourne movie I don't even care to see it so that oh my god okay a works hasp I mean and this is not this is just cuz the movie is not that great it's the Ghostbusters remake yeah yeah it's good I watched it I enjoyed it it was it wasn't that bad for me but well yeah I mean for me I've never seen one I don't even know whether or not of my like okay oh my god oh my god okay you haven't seen like Bourne Identity Bourne anything no I just matte balm and beating people up I can't like go my head around it okay okay okay it's because you've seen movies that no no all I'm saying right now when you and your wifey have time you got to watch this is the latest Bourne movie which I actually haven't seen I've seen Lawrence the horrible ones this this one is pretty I'm just saying you gotta see this see the very I would say very my complete force wanted shopper cuz that's the one that kind of set everything in motion right and it's like the most popular one I feel so I might get people in a pair P people in the first school I get beaches wrong t throne there's the wrong I just wanted to know what he thought yeah I just want to know if he thought well I have it now I have enough for free man stoked yeah so anyways check it out guys and gals movies anywhere it is Apple related but this is something that's gonna help everyone out we just wanted to make sure you guys knew about it and it's really the hottest story coming out this week and again like I can get all my movies directly my iTunes I didn't I couldn't do that before I had to jump around different apps of so annoying so what's the see what's stopping all these movie studios from just like streaming their newly released movies in the near future you know what I'm saying like movie comes out it's a big blockbuster maybe a week later it goes for for sale or for rent on this app like that's totally possible you know it is possible Beach and I think it would be awesome if they did that but what the movie and movie industry has done is they've created these different optimal windows of when you can get access to these movies at different times right so first window of access is going to the movie theaters right yeah then the next access is typically like pay-per-view services right or now these days it's like digital downloads iTunes and why not there's there's that window but they're not gonna they're going to wait to give you like if you're talking about of are you saying like free streaming on Netflix no no I'm just saying like this app can easily become like a place where they're gonna release like a new big feature oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah that would be great it's like they're just giving us a taste right now like get into it be living this world for a little bit and then BOOM oh new Star Wars movie available on what is it called movies anywhere yeah our boy man afro or man of rau Chanel's who said too bad it doesn't work tomorrow some elf I call him the same thing it's like you have three names to me bro he just said like too bad it doesn't work for TV shows it does not work for TV shows I the hard part about all these things is to make these things work studios and content creators and production companies have to be on board to basically they all have to get a slice of the pie in order for this to work so it's very difficult to get this negotiated but this is now looks like this is gonna be the service that everyone goes to when you have so much support like this really cool so anyways check it out movies anywhere it's totally free to do we hope you enjoy it I mean I think its killer and I'm gonna move on to the next story before people say is it is this the opal biter too crunchy or this movies anywhere crunching alright move on we get that crap all the time let's jump into some iPhone stuff kind of it's such a juicy tantalizing headline but it didn't even faze me but yeah people are talking about it LG according to reports this is a story from the investor LG is teaming up with Apple for an LG Display for a foldable iPhone mmm double iPhone that's that I mean that's a click bake title right there I didn't even choose to use it on the latest Apple bite episode because honestly this story came out after I made the show but baby it's it's it's nice and click baby so here's the story Apple has reportedly started working on a foldable iPhone with LG Display and not Samsung display who is at the moment their sole supplier for the iPhone 10 and part of it is they believe it might be possibly the concerns over tech leaks to its archrival Samsung Electronics we we obviously know there's a lot of buzz around that true depth camera in the iPhone 10 and we'll talk about that a little later but what is happening according to this story LG Display has created a task force to develop a foldable OLED screen for the new iPhone model with obviously parts from LG Innotech its sister firm that it helps to produce these displays the other kind of interesting there's a couple interesting bullet points that come out of here the report says this foldable panel production could start as soon as 2020 so this is not for phone that's coming out in a year or maybe even two years it's it's really gonna be a phone that's probably in three years we already know Samsung has been looking two foldable displays tech for a while we've seen this at CES in demos I think as far back as 2015 so this is like not anything really new but it's like I said it's it's fun and it will be an option down the road I like the idea of a foldable phone down the road I don't really care about it right now though do you I mean yeah sure like you know we have these big phones in our pockets and sometimes it get uncomfortable and they get kind of weird so if we can like fold them get them out of the way make them smaller I don't know that might be cool there's that video from Elle I think it was LG right of the girl who puts it on her wrist real quick though people can't really see do is good just the way she talks you know okay if you want to play it I will let play it's it's real fast like I watch this guy's all right all right all right I'm good I'm really good I hope people are still listening after that yeah display amazing this so this actual foldable headphone is again could start in 2020 we know that Samsung basically has a near monopoly in mobile OLED screens Apple has been trying to strengthen its relationship with others potentially develop their own but what LG has said is that right now it started its first OLED production plant for phones they they've call it the e5 plant but the first batch production for LG OLED displays will start sometime as early as 2019 so there's they're still oh sorry about this they're starting production right now but in 2019 is when a new plant named ISA 'kx for LG will also help to beef up their OLED production so Samsung without a doubt is the sole supplier we I think we talked about in a previous show Samsung doesn't care because they're making like twice as much money off of iPhone sale Yeah right remember they call to get $100 for every iPhone or something one hundred ten hundred ten dollars or so for every iPhone sold that's money money and bank I think I can't remember the top of my head but they had a nickname for Apple like it was abbreviate as ello like loving opponent or something like that something like so so weird anyways um that is the rumor story of Apple teaming up with LG for a foldable phone if you want to talk about iPhone 10 supplies because we know that everyone is kind of wondering what it what is gonna happen with that a new estimate according to Jeff Pugh hat an analyst with type a type a based you want to investment consulting has cut his forecasts for the number of iPhone devices that will be produced this year down from forty million units to thirty six million units according to you the report see first of all it was like estimate at 50 then it dropped to 45 then it's 40 now it's 36 and that's gonna make it a whole lot harder I know I keep on saying this you guys didn't know what it feels like to miss out on Jordans or a classic innocent SNES you're gonna hate it you can hate it right you you got mad about it thank you I went to Best Buy like 6:00 in the morning with a foldable chair and like snacks and I and I did not get an S&S yes wait wait wait wait was the first one the NES I like how you said snacks snacks they had like a banana and grapes and like some food I thought I was gonna be in line for a while oh man so here's part of the report again we've heard about it taking time to build this true depth sensor multiple reports have claimed it's taken more time to assemble the system's aspects one of them is called the codename the Romeo module and the other one is codename the Juliet module so the Romeo module is that dot projector that shines on your face and creates more than like 30,000 visible dots where the Juliet module includes the infrared camera that analyzes the pattern as its projected on your face as well as right seen infrared to build that kind of depth of your face together they are what powers this true depth sensor a lot of technology there and that's what's making it difficult like the production to get this final piece with those combined and those other elements is what's delaying this and you know there was another report I didn't include it but just a side note of like Ming Chico was talking about oh the depth sensor Android manufactures are trying to they they're now saying forget this whole under the fingerprint screen touch touch ID type fingerprint recognition they're all looking into face ID type setups 3d maps 3d sensors and he said that the request for them on the Android sounder are now threefold so clearly this is this is not an easy thing to produce and it's gonna take time for them to perfect it and make it easy to do but it's gonna affect all of us who want to get the 10 oh yeah the guy called us asking this question he's the first first guy that I heard actually say 10 iPhone 10 you know without saying it yeah well you know he we did have a caller that we want to address he asked we didn't throw in the show cuz we're gonna pretty much like you said answered here he was asking if it's deliberate like his Apple treating a fake storage a fake shortage but to me the answer is absolutely no Apple wants to create build as many of these units as possible now they don't want people to wait they want to get them in their hands because also sometimes people that are like debating what phone again if one's not readily available they're gonna end up going to somewhere else now some people will hold out but is that the question was like when will it most likely be available to like the general consumer to just walk into a store my hunch for this specific model I'm gonna put that at nine months I think it's gonna take nine months until you can just walk into a store casually and get an iPhone 10 I don't think it's gonna be six months because okay fine in between six and nine let's say in between six and nine that's crazy because then the next iPhone will be out three months later after you cut your iPhone 10 you know that's a good point that's pretty insane they might even push they might even push it out longer for the next iPhone if it takes a lot longer for this one to be made right much like you know if it doesn't if there's not enough units out and people aren't satisfied and they're still making them there's no reason for them to make an all new air pods because finally let's see it was September October November man it's actually I feel like it's been seven or eight months until they caught up with earpods demand that's crazy right and then now they're you've seen this new wireless case down the road so there's no reason for them to fast-track it also look the iPhone 10 if you look at the hardware inside of it it's a beast so they can they could even bring new cool what they really need to do on in my mind bring new cool software features aa google right bring some new software features that are really meaningful and that could also prolong this kind of delay of the iPhone 10 if they want to stretch it out a little more because there's a whole the power inside of it is insane yeah they've been smart it it's it's ridiculous so you know maybe maybe we can see a little software love like unlike iOS 11 son I think he's driving me crazy driving me crazy alright let's keep on rollin through here we want to talk about a quote that Tim Cook dropped that got a lot of press he had an interview with the independent and it was really ranging a wide-ranging interview that talked about a lot of augmented reality and their plans for the future he was actually asked in the report specifically about taking advantage of augmented reality using smart glasses so this is what Tim Cook said in response here is his quote today I can tell you the technology itself doesn't exist to do that in a quality way the display technology required as well as putting enough stuff around your face there's huge challenges with that the field of view the quality of the display itself it's not there yet hmm so this is what yeah right you're not whom so see this is the thing this is a difference between Tim and Steve Steve Jobs never even talked like this he would even like hint that they were like testing aspects of the technology because they're working out like obviously yeah apples working on smart glasses like Tim Cook is basically like killed any mystery by specifically saying yeah we've looked at it the technology's not there like you know they're actually working as Steve Jobs would have been if someone said are you guys working on smart glasses he's like I can't really say whether we are not like that's what you would do right yeah totally Tim Cook total boner killer like total boner killer for smart glasses someone has to piss him off you know someone has to like come out with something than like make him mad these would be like okay we're doing smart glasses he was like he was like this with the Apple watch he kind of basically said they were really working on an Apple watch and want again the health and fitness like way before the Apple watch came out I was like dude you don't have to do that that's like it's just kind of like it keep by the time we know everything about it which we end up knowing everything about it we're already like yeah we knew this like six seven months ago you know what I mean keep it a mystery yeah just keep it a mystery as long as you can there's nothing wrong with that it's like it's kind of fun to do that don't you think it's more fun to eff with people instead of like oh yeah it we're working on it but we don't we don't think it's there yet like don't do that yeah because then everyone starts speculating and then you get all these like articles or people speculating and then everyone's guessing and then it just becomes like this big noisy mess you know yeah so we know there have been working on prototypes other companies have been as well so there you go with Tim Cook just really feeling like spilling unnecessary beans about the Apple potential smart glasses or the eyeglasses let's call the eyeglasses please know they're gonna be called Apple glasses Apple glass something like that yeah also in relation to a our kit we know apples really rolled this out and push it out a report out from sensor tower that was detailed in TechCrunch talks about how in the AR kit space there have been three million Plus app downloads over half of those are games so games account for over half of the three million AR kit app downloads that we've seen so far they also make up 62% of the revenue I don't think this is a surprise because we know that augmented reality really got into boost with Pokemon go right that's how everyone like kind of wrap their head around it yeah yeah I'm so all about the IKEA app I think that app is dope right but yeah it's really fun and I will use that when I become grown and I have a house would have to grow up right that's that's basically that's basically it but you have the top paid AR kit app right now is called and this is the amazing one tap measure it is that kind of a our tape measure app that factors in distance and can basically give you a real-time measurement of walls and you know spaces I it's pretty awesome so but there's a lot of games I'm gonna try this game called the machines it seems to be the number one grossing game and the second top paid app so I'm gonna try that where is that game let me see we're gonna find that I don't know I mean I'm just saying it out loud okay yeah yeah they're scroll down if you scroll down on that article there's a list that says top air kit only absent worldwide oh here it is okay gotcha AR dragon we got for free okay zombie zombie gunship a revenant that's a way to it's a weird name yeah that's horrible whoa they are sports basketball that might be cool IKEA place that's not a oh well okay it's not looking at games really dude AR Sports basketballs just give me like paper toss do you remember that game paper talked back at the day no dude it was like you were throwing up crumpled ball of paper into trash can like there was like win like a fan blowing you have to like change the arc and all that crap it was was kind of fun honest I do wanna play drive ahead mini golf I want to try that yeah so it obviously isn't it I don't know I'm just you're just running through things you're all making up you're all making up games right now completely destroying like this these millions of dollars of marketing that these companies like oh yeah Ronnie just run through things yeah okay cool whatever like you go on a jog and you hold the phone in front of you while you're running and see stuff coming at you while you're running it's fun all right keep it we're gonna keep it rolling with iPad pro news we talked about the true depth sensor our friend Ming Chu quo at kjx securities has said and is reporting that it is most likely he's actually saying it's going to the 2018 iPad pro models will come equipped with apples true depth camera and support face ID he believes that Apple will add true depth to the iPad pro specifically right there kind of high-end iOS tablet design really their flagship tablet but he wants a consisting to do this to create a consistency between the iPhone 10 and the iPad pro which I agree which my rebuttal is where was that with 3d touch with the iPhone and the freaking iPads because it wasn't there I guess they're starting to figure out they're starting to figure that out maybe we should put on all our devices when we release something new like this like people get used to it and then just can't do without it and it's consistent but that's a great idea I think it's a great idea wonderful so anyways the report is that expect 2018 iPad pro models to feature the true depth camera we kind of jumped ahead and talked about how Apple's face ID is turning Android makers away from this whole idea of the under display fingerprint recognition I'll just kind of talk about a few other details that I didn't earlier again this is Ming Chi quo he's kind of pontificating I guess you could say but he but according to his actual report requests by Android smartphone vendors into 3d sensing technologies have at least tripled since Apple unveiled his true depth camera and face ID technology he also believes that in the next year that will see shipments of actual 3d sensor equipped Android devices phones tablets to exceed the hole under display fingerprint recognition by a factor of two or three more high this is interesting because right Samsung had trouble mastering the under the fingerprint display sensor Apple had reportedly was working on it there are actually now a couple conflicting reports that say Apple had actually moved past the fingerprint display sensor and just was like we're gonna do face ID it wasn't even necessarily part of the plan I like the idea about having both quite honestly but the report says that two reports say no they were never even looking at it was face ID all the way okay we we don't really know the true story because apples not going to tell us but it's interesting because under the screen fingerprint recognition has been all the buzz for a long time Qualcomm released a product they said I think sometime by mid year of 2018 we'll be ready that they can start shipping those to vendors and well we'll see which one wins out in the end will Apple end up with corporate both or just stick with face ID and we know it's still gonna be a tad bit solar but you know I don't know which one do you prefer beats like if you had a choice well I just I haven't had to play with the face ID a whole lot but it really sounds like a touch ID like fingerprint ID is gonna be a thing in the past like before it was even really here you know what I mean like especially under the screen ID it feels like it's not gonna be around so I prefer fingerprint just because that's what I'm used to but yeah when I get the face ID and my mind could change I don't know so I agree I am it is weird having a phone that recognizes you you know like you're our phones are like little robots now and now they know who I am and they're like no my face so that is kind of creepy you know I don't know there's so many layers to it it's hard to it's hard to wrap my head around it right now yeah all right yeah it's it's gonna it's like any tech we'll just see how it all plays out we're gonna jump and kind of try and hit these things fast they're they can't they might be a little boring to guys and gals but it's actually really important there's a bunch of software updates that have been dropping some of them are betas some of them are actual software updates Apple released iOS 11 point 0.38 right third mini update for iOS 11 and they still haven't addressed the frickin battery issues yet anyways iOS 11 point 0.32 offer a fix where some iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus a--'s had an audio and haptic feedback errors where it just didn't play a sound or give you a haptic feedback with whether it's apps or notifications also the other tweak was if you replaced your 6s screen with a non genuine Apple part basically if you went to the corner store and just like you know replace my screen for 30 bucks instead of a hundred it there was an issue where it wasn't is was unresponsive I guess Apple has addressed that so that's those are those are the only fixes in 11 point 0.38 is or more crashing or battery issues no just want to let you know okay the whole third party screen thing though that's that's a pretty good Apple for Apple to do that I agree I totally agree that you know what beat them you can give them a good Apple good Apple Apple thank you I don't have a sound effect for this I know we need to get that we made it come on we need it we need will work on bulwark stuff yeah all right iOS 11.1 we saw the first beta be released I think about a week ago the second beta is now out we kind of talked about it last week but this brings emoji right do I make his things from like a wizard to like a mad emoji face with like cuss words over his mouth with like that and for like the and dollar exclamation mark like there's like a emoji face with like a quiet there's like the Chinese takeout box there's dim sum there's like a mermaid fairy there's all these crazy things anyways digging the mermaid in iOS 11.1 beta 2 you have access to these the trick is that other users will not be able to see this unless they have iOS 11.1 beta 2 so it's it's for your own basically viewing pleasure and then for you to brag you got them to think that you're cool but then when your friends don't have beta 2 it's really completely worthless the other thing though that it brings back in the beta 2 for iOS 11 point one is the 3d touch app switcher that's where you press on 3d touch on the edge of your screen and then it reveals all your applications that are open you could swipe through them and close certain ones if you felt like it that has now been brought back to iOS 11 after the keynote um a little while ago Craig federighi said they removed it for a technical reason and it would come back in a future iOS 11 update at least in the beta 2 it is out right now I Apple has not said when iOS 11 will be made publicly available like as the final version of iOS 11.1 but obviously it's coming pretty soon but new emojis and the 3d touch app switcher function will come and we're also waiting for them to incorporate like the Apple pay to pay pyramid system and messages so there's a lot of things that are gonna be coming in iOS 11.1 we slept the wait for it I think but I know that you you won't experience any of them because you are not rocking 10 stay stay dude stay with 10 god please all right watch OS 4.1 beta - this is another small tweak but it added a couple really cool things I'm not gonna lie I love my Apple watch LTE because it really does fit into that niche of my life where I go work out and I just bring my watch around and I've gone out a couple times with just my watch and it's I don't know it kind of feels nice it's a little liberating honestly keeps you away from looking at your phone all the time that's good so Iowa watch OS 4.1 beta it adds a couple things one of them is that they added a new radio app and it before it was only streaming over Wi-Fi this new radio app specific to the Apple watch will now be able to stream over LTE so again taking advantage of the LTE feature not only can you listen to like beats 1 radio ESPN Radio will be part of this radio app so you can listen to ESPN Radio on-the-go like through your watch that's freaking awesome the other aspect is that is now also a toggle for Wi-Fi a lot of people that have the Apple watch like why can't I turn off specifically Wi-Fi off Iran specifically or if an LTE user if you want to force it to use the phone data signal um and not deal with any of those issues that is on there as well and then it also tells you which Wi-Fi network your Apple watch is connected to so you kind of know I think this these are all really good things I'm all about it I'm shocked that those things weren't there before I've never had an Apple watch I'm hearing what you're saying I'm like what you couldn't like figure out what Wi-Fi network Iran and Oprah yeah bro I'm throwing a good Apple man and you're just boo Apple on me man good Apple right now good Apple for making those changes it's about time even a real with beech keeping it real with beech all right another cool thing we talked about the watch Apple pay I've used it a bunch it's kind of nice and just like not have your wallet on you and it's like okay anyways apple pays cardless withdrawal is now available at Wells Fargo's Wells Fargo's Wells Fargo ATMs so there's right now Wells Fargo has about 13,000 ATMs around the u.s. 5000 of them have been updated to work with Apple pay Samsung pay and Android pay to withdraw cash if you need it you don't need oh you don't need a freaking card you just need your phone or your Apple watch or your Android pay Samsung watch all that stuff that's all you need it's really cool so it's cool 5,000 ATMs right now the remaining 8000 they said will be I think flipped on by I think they said 2019 so that's very cool and then one other software thing iTunes twelve point six point three if you have not heard of this and you're wondering what the heck is this I'll tell you why this is important when Apple updated a twelve point seven a lot of you remembered it gave you a thing that said oh we're trying to streamline down to more media we don't you will no longer have access to the App Store you have to do it through your phone and you will no longer have access to ringtone management through the app well there's a lot of businesses that were like dude we need to manually load our apps so apple secretly created not secretly but kind of undercover released twelve point six point three which still keeps the App Store which still keeps your ringtones and in addition to that you do it does not force you constantly to update to twelve point seven which remove that so should have made a link so that you could show it on here but I can tell you by memory I created a link that we put in in our video show it's just tinyurl.com iTunes twelve six three if you type that in your Elcom and what was it flash ash I well six three if you type that in it will take you two to the support page from Apple that allows you to download iTunes 1216 and give you back this functionality sweet I'm honestly I think that's a sweet deal Apple hasn't said how long they're gonna support this but it still supports iOS 11 it supports iPhone 10 iPhone 8 and 8 plus so that's so it supports all the new tech that is coming it supports current phones and new phones there's links to download the new version or the under cover version of iTunes right there that's another good Apple we're having a few good apples today Thank You Apple well Pete thank you we want one want me to give you a good Apple for like our fans that listen sure I shouldn't call you guys fans usually all the same is us cuz you guys are part of the show why do I say that that's horrible okay in the video show I did an NBA 2k 18

to take free stuff from people that I actually support you know they like work so hard on that stuff that's awesome so yeah you guys you guys can win that's that's how that's how I feel for you cool that a good they just have to watch they just have to watch the Apple bite or the extra crunchy show Apple bite right Apple bite ya the regular Apple bite video show and all the directions are there but basically I guess two episodes ago or one episode ago we put something on a home pot if you tell me what that is then I'll just randomly suck the winners I get the right answer nice good Apple I'm looking up thanks man all right let's do phone calls thank you guys all for calling we had a lot of great calls this week hang on my computer just open something I didn't want it to open okay here we go we held a picture naughty picture and SF pictures no just kidding the first question was from gentleman in New Zealand and he has a question about music Apple in music hello Steven hello Brian I'm so sorry for leaving another message I just realized how this works finally so my name is home I'm from New Zealand and my question is around the importance or emphasis that Apple lays on music today I mean as you know the platform basically grew out of music I mean not out of it but you know it was majorly music and how people consume music and I just feel that somehow Apple is today neglecting that side unfortunately and still one of those all these who uses CDs to import music onto his iTunes and I have a huge problem with iTunes in the cloud sometimes it matches the songs and transfers or upload songs to other iOS devices that aren't the same songs and these issues have been discussed in Apple communities and they're still not rectified and so I'm just wondering do you feel the tackle is slowly neglecting music or is going in the back backflip music the absolutely actually the store icon has changed from a music note to a star so that actually is that like a signifying thing so thank you so much I really appreciate your time Cheers great I think there's a lot of aspects of that that are really interesting right yeah definitely I mean they like the iPod came out and that like changed music iTunes came out that changed music but then I think the iPhone came out and that changed everything and then they're like wait we need to shift all our focus from iPods and music and iTunes to this iPhone thing that we just invented you know what I mean and then that kind of everything else kind of took a backseat that's that's my two cents whoa what do you think Brian yeah you know to say that they're neglecting music isn't necessarily true because they're putting in a lot of effort behind their Apple music subscription service sure it's not nearly as popular as something like Spotify but I think they finally hit somewhere around 30 million paid subscribers where Spotify is that something like 60 million if I don't quote me on that but I know they're about half is what Spotify has at the moment roughly around their music is part of them but there's such a there's there's so much more than a music company these days I don't think they necessarily have to show love to music I don't think they're you know ignoring it but the market has changed where people are on multifunctional devices that are really more like mini computers and kind of a single a single use single feature type device like a music player we've obviously seen how they killed the Nano and other older iPods themselves there it's just there's just not really a market when every other device that we have plays music so I don't I don't think it's them losing anything like direction or DNA or not showing as much focus it's just that so many other things and again we've complained about how Apple has our hands in so many things now a lot of different things suffer because that that is the nature of just blowing up and becoming this big music has suffered a little from that but I don't think they're ignoring it yeah and you know it's interesting when we saw the Google pixel thing like they had a little big focus on music like that always on Shazam and being able to like find a picture of an artist and then find all their albums and all their social networks you know Apple needs to do stuff like that like there's little things Apple can do to improve Apple music like it's just even hard to find you know what I mean like if you go into the the music app and iTunes it's just kind of like buried in a weird place everything looks the same I don't know there's little things that they could do to fix it you know I mean if you even look at Apple music right now they're trying to make it more than a music place they're trying to create shows and programming for you to go watch that are unrelated to music but on Apple music right so they're trying to more than anything they have now realized many years later that content is king Netflix showed them that in my voice just cracked Netflix showed them that other services show them that they're trying to be that the thing that stuck out with me and I think I tweeted it recently I finally took time because I had time to watch the Defiant ones on HBO have you seen this series each one of the best things I've seen in long right v-- needs to Jimmy Iovine you say holler at us cuz we can help him with this Apple music thing so check this out like that that should have been on Apple music yes yes Jimmy dr. Dre bought for two billion dollars to be a part of Apple music that that is the type of content you want to see to drive people there and I guess what it wasn't there like when I was watching this I'm like holy crap is so amazing and the first thing I said to myself is why isn't this on Apple music I was wondering the same thing did they go to HBO because there's swearing and possible like violence and stuff like was Apple afraid of that you know like wait a minute that yeah I mean that was that was like the perfect show I got music and here's what I think I think that they know because it's not in the place they want it to be it's the whole chicken what what came first chicken Drake Apple music isn't in the place where people weren't gonna watch that on Apple music right like they know like more people gonna watch this on HBO than Apple music but guess what you need to have something like that to drive people to Apple music so it's very indicative of the fact that they didn't have the belief that something that amazing could drive people towards Apple music that is the type of stuff they need and maybe they learn from that maybe they'll profile other artists or producers in that way to tell their story in a raw nature like that feels you know very personal and unedited as as organic as possibly can without feeling like you know could sugar-coated TV sterile like we don't want that right that was I've only seen the first two episodes and I haven't even gotten to the source Awards oh my god that's my bad mood that's that's the third one I gotta get to that one I haven't even got to that one yet and people are like yo just wait just wait the source Awards one is awesome man you're gonna love it dude but you know like there was some good news from Apple this week that we didn't really cover in the show but they got Steven Spielberg to be a a producer director for Apple for their Apple TV some you know some original programming that's a big one that's it and then they also are rebooting incredible what does it call like incredible stories or something like that yeah I forget I forget exactly what it's called but when I heard that I was like that's a good move by Apple get Steven Spielberg in there to produce a show that's a big move but don't put an Apple music you know I'm saying put it just on there Apple TV somewhere right but make don't put this crap on Apple music it's so dumb yeah it doesn't make any sense at all and it confuses people they're like what's Apple music oh there's TV shows I don't get it you bro they're like watch they're watched what is it is it cold what is their app called watch TV or watch I can't remember their watch yeah it is to watch I think it's for like my Apple watch I thought at first when I first thought like Apple watch app on my phone like I don't have an Apple watch well you have a movies app you have a TV shows app and you have a watch app and then you have Apple music what are you doing and then my Apple music app has you know Apple music and then just my ID my regular music you know that I own but I think that should be separated too you know what I'm saying I don't know just just cut if you really want to do this whole on-demand like true unique content Apple like make it its own thing don't don't slam it in Apple music it doesn't it didn't it didn't work with carpet carpet actually carpool karaoke make sense what planet of the apps yeah that you're not gonna drive people that way that show should Defiant ones should have been on frickin Apple music man they dropped the ball big time on that doing seriously alright alright we got a few more calls let's check them out you'll be an hour plus podcast because we just talked about the tenant so good hey how's it going as a Cecil from Houston Texas I see that you are you know talking about the fingerprint being brought back to the screen along with facial recognition why would a Polly facial recognition on the on the tin and then the next year bring back you know the fingerprint why would Apple be back stepping like that you know the future should hold something more than even facial recognition so I just just have a question while with Apple backpedal like that when they're trying to move forward to the future with facial recognition yeah we talked about that a little earlier too yeah I think I think you make a great point and it just comes down to if they can speed up face ID to make it nearly as quick or that we don't feel any delay then and that's really sounds like the direction they're going then we'll we won't see a fingerprint sensor under the glass I think I just we're so used to the idea of a fingerprint sensor on the glass and again it's a learned behavior we saw that 3d touch was a behavior that because it wasn't consistent across all their products not everyone uses it a lot of people don't even know it's there quite honestly and so this is something you're gonna be using daily you're just gonna have to get used to the idea of the whole face ID and I think as it or if it becomes second nature and then people kind of forget that the touch ID thing ever existed that's the goal that they're trying to move towards so I think you're absolutely right there's and why would they move backwards and some of those reports saying that Apple never plan to do it under the glass fingerprint sensor would reinforce that thinking so this is the my favorite call this week here we go hey beaten tongue it's mark from Portland I'm so sorry to hear you're still having battery problems with iOS 11 but I wanted to suggest the Apple smart battery case for standard 4.7 inch phones I'm currently using it for my success I've had it since March and this case is really dope it's the only case that uses iOS software so that understands it's still running on battery power so that makes it more battery efficient than other cases it doesn't do things like backup in the background or or do things that the phone would normally only do on power and I'm still on 1033 but I always end the day with at least 80% charge on my phone usually a hundred percent unless I'm using maps all day I will say people did to even say hey yo you gotta check out maps in Iowa's eleven it's pretty dope man like don't don't sleep on maps anymore I'm like alright check that I thought was cool is nice it's not like I'm gonna I still don't trust it like I trust Google Maps but I thought it was nice I will give it its credit okay cool so I it was the wrong call there's another call that's better wait wait what was he was he was talking about the Apple battery case which you have been famously okay okay okay that is let me just tell you right now leave it on that picture right there yeah put on the black one okay where have you seen that design somewhere else in a recent Apple product when you look at that Apple smart battery case sideways what does that look like wait is there sideways shine there is yeah I don't know it's like the freakin notch on the iPhone 10 find both by Johnny I've turn some of your like what is the tongue talking about right now go look it up iPhone smart battery case turn it turn that sumbitch sideways as the rock would say oh my god believe that I'm like my voice is I get all crazy okay got an Apple watch question here hey guys this is sunny from Louisiana I was watching the show I know this Beach made the comment about not wanting to update his plan for the watch theory three and my question actually has to do with the original watch I update it to afford to watch OS four and I noticed that it got a little glitchy especially when it came to bring it up notifications for like Twitter and snapchat snapchat it wouldn't bring up the logos have you all noticed that and is 4.1 fixing that issue on the original watch thanks guys appreciate it it's gonna agree so I have a response where I think might be the issue for example some apps have changed how they work with the Apple watch and the iPhone and Twitter has basically completely removed their their app no longer really talks to the Apple watch anymore so that might be the issue that you're experiencing Twitter used to like you know you'll you'll get notifications from your phone's your watch but oh shoot sorry I pulled my headphones but uh the actual Twitter to Apple watch app that is dependent on a connection between the phone and the watch no longer functions so I'm wondering if that's the I wonder if that's what you're dealing with if not then I really don't know why it's doing that but that might be part of it yeah okay we got another this is my favorite call actually I was mistaken before but this is the one right here a beach in town this is Chris from California I just want to know if there are any cases for the new iPhones that possibly wirelessly charge the phone and can also themselves be wirelessly charged or hook into the Lightning por you know to charge as a battery pack but can actually be charged wirelessly themselves thanks love the show guys i'll when we first said i call we're like wait this homeboy wants the future he wants like the wireless charging case of the wireless charging phone like use wireless wireless charging when I first heard that I was like wait like the phone is kind of the wireless charging case for the battery itself so I don't just sound of you just he just wants more wireless charging man but at the moment you know there are at the moment we have not seen any products that wirelessly charge the wirelessly charging iPhone not yet I could be wrong but at the moment we haven't seen any it would be kind of cool though you have a case that wirelessly charges phone but then he just wirelessly card charge the case okay next time we got one more we got two more calls real quick ones um hi this Patrice calling from Los Angeles I was just wondering do you think that Apple is actually going to make the ear pods useful because ear buds that Google is coming out with all ridiculous in a good way in those are ones that I would actually spend 300 um not 300 but 150 dollars on right now it's just the Apple ones just really look like the brush heads for my sonic hairbrush we we agree with that assertion we have always agreed with that assertion here at the Apple bite someone's asking if we're taking questions on Twitter yeah send me a question and hopefully uh I can see it before the show ends just do it at Brian Tong I have we got a show loves to the ladies that ask us questions because we like to represent like the audience here you know what I'm talking about all right so uh the air pods look I think they're still very good because they're convenient they just need to add more functionality it doesn't look like we'll see anything like that anytime soon they're gonna release a new wireless battery case version I think that's gonna then push out any new major changes in the air pods unless it's done through software another six to nine more months before we see another one so I do think the Google the Google headphones the Google um forgot what they call them did they just call the pixel earbuds that's what they called I think they look more normal they don't look as awkward and the translation feature on them is ridiculous so from a standpoint of travel or business and it's only gonna get better remember this is the first generation we've seen anything like this to use your phone soon it's gonna be built-in directly into the headphones which is kind of crazy to me when you think about that down the road like you won't even need a phone to drive this stuff it'll all be on a little chip that's in some earbuds that's way down the road but uh yeah I think if you want more functionality I think also the two other things that are important see how they feel in your ears and see if you like the sound quality because you probably won't be using the translation all the time but if that's your priority then get the pixel earbuds but I think they're I do think the Apple air pods are good they're just not great yes they're really really really good I've said this over and over and over there's not great the the air you know like the regular Apple earbuds they feel great in your ear for me that's my opinion but like I have some other wireless headphones that feel terrible in my ears they're so uncomfortable so that is very important to make sure that they are comfortable before you buy them you know cuz you don't want to like have sore ears that sucks that is awesome all right oh we have one more called you want to hear the last one to do this that is is uh it's kind of like just that nicey-nice email oh yeah yeah for sure okay here we go hey this is shovel compare the sales Pennsylvania just want to say I love that about country with Beats and Tom he has give me my information about my book hi Sierra and also I was 11 and thanks for the community

trust it we went over an hour bro oh my gosh are we allowed to do that I think we broken the internet people want us to do that I think that's a more important question yeah yeah I think that's that's more important all right I did unfortunately let me see here real quick I told the young lady said I could ask a question over twitter twitter if we could answer it and i did not get that question I'm so sorry but hey there you go one last quick thing sorry beach quick bullet point that someone has confirmed at least according to rag zu 1083 is that movies from the movie anywhere service that show up in your iTunes library will up convert to 4k if there is a 4k option if that is true that's freaking badass that is awesome Wow so like that's what I wanted to test Wonder Woman does it give me the 4k option because I don't have a 4k TV and I don't have an apple 4k yet because I don't know Apple TV 4k cuz I don't have a 4k TV yet but when I get there which I'm hoping to by the end of the year
