show where we expand on all the latest news around Apple everything that's happened we shoot the apple byte video show a couple days ago but things change things happen we can kind of elaborate more on the topics and this is where this show is all about it's what's for you so what we want to do also is to make this an interactive experience if you guys want to be a part of the show give us your thoughts your input throw out your questions the number to call and leave a voicemail is 1 800 61 62 63 8 all right you got that 1 800 61 62 63 8 we are still working on potentially bringing some live calls to the show if you guys think that's a good idea let us know because we can hang we can hang with the best of them right Beach that's right yeah Steven Beecham running the show always gotta show low gotta show love to him all right thanks for the love here's the first story of the day I mean this is a story I'm just gonna shake my head but I'm gonna tell you what the story is all about if you haven't read or heard already a patent filing a patent application by Apple was recently released and revealed and shows that Apple is working or is has an idea in a concept for a ring an apple ring a ring style wearable device look at that diagram that is the size of the dudes middle section of his finger it's pretty big it's like a Super Bowl ring it's bigger than that it's a wearable device with voice control haptics cameras and more and you know what I say to that to an apple ring make the apple watch really useful first like seriously before we get in all this ring stuff give me a reason to love this Apple watching the most telling thing to me is that when I throw stuff like that on Twitter the Loyalists get really pissed off they get really but hurt I only got two people saying I find mine very useful yes everyone else is like everyone just kind of says I like it it's cool but it could do more like everyone says the same answer really like man so let me tell you some specifics because this is a detailed patent application that Apple is filed for based on this Apple ring now not only will you be able to it'll have like you know the ability to do some sort of level of gesture input for example like it can be detected to use with a TV I mean these are all these things that they are talking about here want to know how to charge this thing Steven what you might need to charge this I know you haven't seen this yet no idea the actual ring is proposed to be compatible to be charged by a steering wheel of a car like an area of your steering wheel will wirelessly charge the Apple ring that's kind of cool that's kind of that is cool you need an apple car you're in your car all the time you need an apple car to charge your apple ring by an apple car get an apple ring man talk about being in the ecosystem well the other disturbing thing about me is in if you look through this article there's plenty of drawings there's buttons there's physical buttons on this ring could you imagine how big this ring has to be not only that it's kind of weird and a little awkward to me okay fine the ring has voice voice control has a microphone the ring also is proposed to have a camera on it you know where all you don't want to put a camera on a ring hahaha that's creepy man that is creepy I don't know if any of you all love this idea me I in a weird way I think it's kind of fun and kind of neat cuz it's a tech gadget but come on it's gonna be you know people are going to buy it though you know some rich dudes I'm going to be like I need that Apple ring there are uh I just it's pretty interesting that this is out now in the public again it's a patent filing it doesn't mean apples going to really do it the way it's described in the patent filing is basically it's like an Apple watch but for here remix it looks like that's the funny thing about it's basically like an Apple watch but for your finger yeah it's the Apple watch nano that's what it is so that's out there thrown to the universe figure out if you like it or not tell us what you think about this thing it's crazy 1 800 61 62 63 8 we I honestly want to hear your thoughts on this whole apple ring idea you know there's got to be some like prior art argument someone guys gonna have like a movie like like The Hobbit movie or something be like here's my prior art I've got all kinds of jokes lined up for the show with this thing I'm not even gonna drop him on here I've got all kind I was like just writing them down like let's do this let's do this I got this Photoshop I got this one Oh who's gonna be the first to uh to ask their their girlfriend to marry them exactly oh my god exactly you know they'll be covered on the news too oh this is the world we're living in everybody this is this is the world we're living in all right let's transition a little bit over to the iphone and guess ya later in the show we will we will talk about the iphone oh goodness the iphone 7 I don't know odd that's just gross ah the iphone 6s just came out i love the iphone 6s for the record I phone news apple announced more than 13 million iphone 6s and 6s plus is sold in the opening weekend that's three days what makes this impressive for all you haters apple sold tell 10 million last year for the six people that are poo pooing this phone always seem to forget that there are two groups of people that are on alternate years of upgrading no matter what's right yeah they always there they always they never they forget that yeah so that's why the numbers are so huge 13 I went from a six to a 6s I personally think the tech in here is awesome the 3d touch everyone who says 3d touch is a long press they have never used 3d touch and they're just a hater they don't they just think it's this simple thing is it's very early it's in its infancy it's going to get better I'm sorry it's a game-changing you I I can't wait to try it out I have I'll let you try and touch college I'll let you i'll let you 3d touch me okay after the show please and then i'll let you use my phone okay cool i'm looking forward to it I'm I'm I just I love 3d touch I think it has huge potential when you see it it's more than what you have to look beyond the surface the developers are going to blow this thing up and the 7 is going to be probably ridiculous with what they do with the software there as well in an iOS I guess that would be iOS 10 by then all right also apple's iphone lineup there are rumblings there's a patent finally know that Apple was looking to put some level of water protection on the iphone they've been blown apart taken apart by I fix it in others and their show it shows that there is a new gasket kind of like a little rubber lining around the edge of the 3d touch display to prevent water from seeping into it and then in addition to that they've covered some of some of the circuits and wirings with silicone seals to prevent water from seeping in greatly reducing the water damage Apple for the record has not claimed that this is a waterproof or water resistant device but people have done some fun test there's a gentleman by the name of Zack straily who online put in a 6s and a 6s plus underwater in bowls they lasted for an hour and still worked perfectly fine wow I did see a lot of news articles when the last like couple days that's saying the iphone is waterproof I'm like what it's like yeah it's like water resistant yeah but not waterproof other people i think it was like AI device help dropped it in a inhibit they put it in a pool basically four feet below and then i think just the overall water pressure really seeped in there and the screen you know the phone itself got messed up yeah i had a friend who had a galaxy s6 and he dropped in the bottom of a hot tub and it still worked it's like hell you are phone users say you gotta get a samsung galaxy s6 you could drop it in a hot and hot tub oh man now maybe we got to do the hot tub test with the iphone 6 i'm personally tired of doing the shirt this become this weird this weird thing amongst producers and coworkers like hey brian do another shot in the shower but it's like not a serious request it's this weird thing I'm why do I have to do that anymore like what's the point chi-ching chi-ching I don't think so fuse video view negative negative dislikes dislikes alright also in use obviously everything's not fine and dandy with the iphone 6s there's always things that tend to happen tend to surface some iphone 6s owners are seeing their phones randomly shut off since the iphone 6s and 6 plus been available some users users have been reporting that it will randomly turn itself completely off even if when it's left unattended with more than enough battery power it's unknown what actually causes the shut off most are believing that it might be related to iOS 9 and how it talks to it they say the home button feels warm I know for a fact ones i have one of those brackets that you put on your AC to mount your phone which looks really nice for gps and when it gets too cold my phone just shuts off really yeah i was surprised i thought my battery was faulty but then i realized wait it's like ice cold and i started connecting the dots and it's pretty much because the AC it hits whatever tolerance levels like okay I'm shutting you down now wow that's pretty crazy yes so that's going on with that also people some people been complaining about low-light photos not looking that good with the iphone 6s power user tip people say try turning off live photos a lot of times right everyone's trying to use this new feature the live photo feature what happens is live photos takes an image every 12 frames per second it doesn't allow the exposure to be open long enough to let light in so some of those low low low light pictures that you have been taking don't look as good so just turn off live photos okay just want to give you a helpful hint a little a little chipper oh thanks thank you very much okay let's get to it let's just spit this out I don't want to talk about this this long iphone 7 rumor good lord supid uh we can we leak out an iphone rumor ourselves yeah what like to stop with one put it on some random webpage let some random other person pick it up and then it's gonna be gold iphone 7 rumor to be waterproof and possibly adopt a non metallic casing material for iphone 7 so nonmetallic case may be some sort of ceramic they better not Duplass no no plot no iphone see no iphone secretly would they do aluminum or something like that you think um because I can I bully I believe it it is a it is a type of aluminum right now okay they should just make it solid gold solid gold solid gold do like that that's what I want to see okay but in addition to let's play on this stupid speculation apple recently granted 28 patents in a big old chunk one of them was an iphone with a glass wraparound design ok this is this has been out there I think a couple years ago it might have been filed but this is a it reminds me of the ipod nano it had that kind of rounded edge and the connector was on the bottom and it looked a little bit like a oval if you looked at on its a narrow side but the glass would wrap around the edges it looks a lot like i said honk phone I totally like like Sam's I did it samsung did it but that's this is from Apple this actual patent application really a wraparound glass phone I think that's just a matter of time where we're going to see that we've seen look everyone copies everyone Samsung has a foldable display to the edge phone Apple will probably eventually do something like that down the road it's gonna drive Sarah Mitch rough insane because she said she doesn't like phones that that like roll around on the table you know oh yeah yeah rock man that's exactly what this thing's gonna do see I fell rocker this iphone drive me insane man it would drive me insane so there that's all we're gonna do for the preview of what might come in a year I it just drives me crazy that someone's trying to get theirs and is already like hey go waterproof hey stop it it's funny all right this is a cool advancement app that Apple is working on just more of an acquisition story apple buys uk-based speech technology startup vocal IQ why are they so important vocal IQ is a startup whose artificial intelligence software helps computers and people speak to you to each other in a more natural way this is according to people familiar with the deal this is from the Financial Times technology could help Apple improve Siri which I love Siri has gotten a lot better Syria yeah big time I actually now pretty much trust sory for my voice dictation text messages where in the past it was all over the place it feels like it's about 90 ish percentage right now yeah it definitely she definitely can hear me better but I just I still haven't gotten used to the no beeping sound so like I lied only turn it on it'll be like talking and then it didn't hear me so that kind of drive they should bring that back honestly it's a cute it should be an option where you can turn it on it's a nice queue right yeah it is yeah to be like okay now I can talk exactly instead of now it's just like that it's like oh ok it does have a cool little those cool flowing logo II yeah I do like that I do think that is cool not that it really matters series still has the worst jokes though I can't stand why wait why are you asking her to tell I'm not to ask like if I just tell it set a timer for two hours or something right and he'll say I've set your timer for two hours but remember a watch clock never boils or so she says some stupid like she says it to me all the time and I just want to throw my phone I just I say shut up Siri people probably see me talking to my phone saying shut the hell up hahaha so you don't like snowball I love Siri but she can get on your nerves like anyone else I've never had see I don't use her for much other than setting alarms because I need to take like power naps because I'm so yeah you for like I can't tell you how many times randomly in videos people are like dude what's wrong with your eyes are you high or dude have you been sleeping like dude get some rest there's like always a comment about my eyes right it's funny because like sometimes I have me yeah me too man major bags are affirmative we work in we working hard we work hard we gonna party yeah so it's just like whatever but i don't i don't use Siri all the time so she hasn't dropped a joke on me within my normal a user all the time and to leave reminders like oh I'll tell her to leave a reminder like right in front of someone someone be like can you come to this meeting later today at two and i'll be like Siri remind me to go to meeting tomorrow today at two or something you know I talked her all the time and uh yeah she ever e I I'd say twenty percent of the time she has a stupid joke twenty percent of the time she'll come back and say something so talk back to me don't talk to it back to me Siri slappers do what I say do what I say Siri do what I say also just to talk about this vocal IQ acquisition what makes this really cool is with their speech processing and machine learning technology it could be incorporated into other devices from wearables the connected home but also the company get this connect the dots the company was particularly focused on in car applications so we might see this integrated into basically talking to your car in a more natural way they were working with collaborations with General Motors we know Apple is big on this car project now they're pushing it forward vocal IQ is a uk-based company who they just acquired to help them in those efforts it's gonna be like KITT from Knight Rider it would be fun if it was like kids yeah like they should get rid of they should leave serial devices and give a whole new personality to the car but if you could just say Siri can you drive my car to me please and then it just drives over to you that would be badass I would rather say hey kid yeah if you can change the name and for all the kids that don't know KITT is the car from Knight Rider yes David Hasselhoff yes I forget we can be older remember I went that's a generational thing man I know I know I'm for some people like who's KITT I met you on Paris kabila who is kid look it up I remember going to universal studios when I was like 10 and sitting in kit it's like the most exciting thing ever yeah just talking to me was talking to me that's right he had like you brit who was the voice of him I don't know but he had the British voice right yeah but he knew what I was he knew what I was wearing I was like oh my God he's really talking to me they do that as like that they do that Disneyland rides do they really we're like some of the characters for example toy story mania the mr. Potato Head at times it doesn't happen as much right once the rides out a long time they have someone who's looking through a camera at you and then directly um talking to people that's awesome the slug lady I can't remember what her name was from monsters inc yeah called out my hair but I did you know she's like yeah yeah you you the one with the thing in his hair I'm like it's real but that's always pretty awesome I'm so excited next week I'm programming note i will not be here so i don't know if we're gonna do we may not have an edgy what might not be an extra crunchiness what the thing is that i'll be gone the next week I could do it from Hawaii though do you want to do one it from holy cool if you do it from the beach Skyrim toll a jealous you're sitting on the beach with a mai tai all rights just Elise hahaha there's Eric evidence I told that would be cool all right I might do that that'd be fun sun's out guns out guns out I hate I thought I know we're gonna random tangent but I saw dude one of that tank top of the gym like just see it's awesome if you wear to the gym it makes it you know it's ironically cool yes it's still weird okay some quick Apple TV news developers have their hands on the whole apple TV kit we know that there was a lottery from WWDC or was it yes was it no no not WWDC from apple's most recent announcement in September we still don't have an official release date for the Apple TV although they say will be coming by the end of the year we also don't have an official release date for the ipad pro it's targeted for november we don't know when exactly but this news story says the new apple TV only supports to bluetooth controllers at once this is based on developers that have been using it that I've been trying to figure out their apps you can use the single remote and 22 Bluetooth controller so at least we now know it supports up to two players can you plug into two more like USB possibly possibly but probably not I mean maybe but I probably doubt it yeah okay look how much this looks like an Xbox controller though that's pretty much what that's pretty much what the proposed controllers are going to are going to be there's already some on the market that'll be compatible right on the bats cool okay people wondering also with the Apple TV any word on the broadcast deals I can tell you right now no sign I really do feel it will get done by next year I don't even think that we should think it'll be done by March it's got to be after summer these deals apple just wants it their way and the labels content creators they're not going to give them their way because they can make money and other platforms now or just put it on their cells yeah it's the same story every time until it gets done it will get done so how are those strong-arming people it's one of those stay tuned it's one it's until apples really really feels like we have no choice let's just do what the deal that everyone else does I see that's it's stubbornness on both sides right yeah yeah these are mega billion-dollar corporations enough fighting over pennies yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense on that note should we get to a call to drum shot yeah should we check out all we've got some phone calls again the number you guys can call us at is 1 800 61 62 63 8 that's the number to call us you can also tweet us send us emails but really we want you to be a part of this show so we show you love we put in your phone calls you do it right you get on the show yeah Geo so yeah let's listen to some phone calls this first one I don't know if he left his name so lets just hear what he has to say hey guys this is blair and west holly lair ah i stood in line for 10 minutes before store opening for pre-order of the phone and was out in 10 minutes long like 20 people in line to the apple financing so it went great also Beecham thank you very much for that tip on the headphone being coupled covered by applecare i hope they don't charge me ninety nine dollars each time i want to replace it but I go through at least six headphones a year that's a lot of headphones man c'est clair headphones what are you doing boys he like swinging around I last saw on the rodeo guys like come on just head banging with them on constantly that's that's not that six headphones that's that's a lot so what they're like each thirty bucks you thirty bucks he lost him they last him two months and then he has got it yeah 30 29 99 I believe a pop but how many times have they do they continue to swap out your headphones or does their point where they're like dude stop coming back now know they after a while like when I was doing this pretty often with the older headphones I have to I have to say the older model you know not the new one yeah a little cooler um they just had like a stockpile of them they were just give them to me like didn't even ask for my applecare anything oh that's nice these headphones are broken and be like okay here yeah they didn't they were kind of so unofficial about cuz it's like I don't want to sell the paperwork there's no that's a known yeah so alright we have some more right now let's listen to this alright what Apple come out with new course for the iphone 6 and other phones because the Lightning cord it's all right let it sink in let it breathe they're not gonna change the cord you don't think so not anytime soon I think look Apple makes a whole bunch of money off these little cables could they wrap them in some sort of like you know there's certain chords that are wrapped in actual like a cloth material that's we've that's a lot sturdier and nice yeah why is Apple going to invest in that when they just keep it rubber gouges knows everyone's gonna buy them and knows everyone's gonna continue to buy them yeah why not why not why would you why would they change if they were gonna get new cables they probably by a company before they did that by the company that made the cable right like Mike maybe a company who makes headphones like beets yeah oh hey oh it happen it's weird how they really treat them as a separate entity I wonder if there'll ever be a day where they basically call apple headphones and just blend them together I know they won't just from a branding purpose yeah but it's like they just coexist on the side and let I don't we'll see the numbers of how successful Apple music is how many people actually renew I've got to imagine it'll be around twenty-five percent of users could be wrong I'm going to be wrong when we get that number like within a week or so right well we'll only get that number when Apple tells us that number Apple has never officially even told us how many Apple watches have been sold yet so we might have to wait till the next keynote and then they could just totally gloss over it or forget or they won't tell us if the numbers aren't impressive enough like look three days after the iphone came out there like we sold 13 million our record we're still waiting to hear apple sales figures on the Apple watch uh-oh just letting y'all know mm-hmm I know I'm at least one of one all right do we have any others yeah do you want to hear this this is uh we decided we're gonna play this call because when we're just gonna play the beginning of it because it's just like a good example of what not to do when you call the apple byte show so are you saying this might be a bad apple this is probably about Apple Oh Tong okay so right away you know that this guy is not serious and that she's trying to be funny but it's not funny yeah Mickey Mouse sounds like Mickey Mouse so this is what not to do when you call the apple pie extra credit on don't do this this is a i do not know what's going on here i would probably say go yeah don't don't call back sound like he called on some crappy android phone to what wow that's hilarious so there you go we're gonna wrap it up today man traffic clean and keep it tight it's the apple byte extra crunchy steven Beecham again running the show making all smooth make us making this thing work all right everybody next week maybe if not the week after that from Hawaii from Hawaii Oh brah all right we'll see y'all guys next time thanks for listening is the Apple white extra crunchy piece alright thanks everybody on the scope errs thanks for hanging out with us if you guys maybe I'll stick around the skill for a couple seconds if you guys have any other if you guys have any questions I know sometimes you guys asked questions within the show and I can't get to it so you know I have to lock into the actual podcast but you guys have any questions I'll stick around for a few minutes before we go and get out of here how old are you I'm not going to tell you that 23 why is Apple falling off everyone brings up that question but I think the fact of the matter is Apple's not falling off they're just not coming up with products that are quote unquote changing everything but their profits their money their cash they're sitting on their sales numbers are doing just fine phone sales are plateauing but their sales continue to rise right now ipad business not that strong but tablets aren't that strong I think if you everyone expects so much from apple now and they're a different company they're just a more mature company and they haven't come out with any killer great idea yet that has florida's so until they do you might think oh they're back but I think they're doing just fine ipad pro or macbook air if you want a pc desktop based OS do not get an app ipad pro so it comes down to look at us while we're in the show says Gabe dude game I'm looking like over here I'm looking over there I guess yeah i'm i'm looking at you now pay attention to you now that should be good enough have I been to the UK i have been to the UK once new iphone name tell beach what's up Jerry Michael 24 sup Jerry Michael Jerry Michael shown love do you think they should buy Tesla no because well here's the thing with their cash infusion help Tesla yes because Tesla i believe is still not in the black I believe they're still in the red just because it costs so much to build these cars margins are really low I don't think Tesla wants to be purchased from apple they started what they started they want to see it through it's up to Apple to play catch-up do I pay for Apple music no I did not keep my subscription I don't I just Steven our old school like that we like to buy our music yeah wireless charging for the iphone what do I think I think what's more important with a phone personally is that it has the quick charging feature so you could debate that with me I just like the fact that if I can plug in my phone for whatever it was like 30 minutes or 15 20 minutes like some of these quick charging phones out there from like Samsung and even the new Nexus has it and it gives me like pretty much seventy-five percent battery power in those quick moments that's more important to me I think wireless charging is nice but until it can be super efficient then I won't do it also you typically need more of a plastic back for wireless charging and a lot of these phones moving towards the metal direction they don't have them any issues with the iphone 6s nothing major yet that sticks out of my mind it's more OS iOS 9 stuff okay last question I always have to answer this M Roman 86 do you like that do I think that the Apple watch is worth getting I'll never tell someone how much something is worth to them if you want to get it you want to get it but do I think that if someone said should i buy the Apple watch most my most common responsibly probably not but it depends on what you want what you're looking for it's okay I give it like about a five and a half six out of ten it's alright but it doesn't really do much if I didn't like how it look looks I would not like this watch at all okay thanks for hanging with us everybody we will see you guys in a week or so yeah right yep okay alright see you later man see you
