hola me llamo Esteban Beauchamp and you're watching the Apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. brian tom hola yo soy Chino me llamo s Bryant on Chino I'm serious yo soy Chino you know what that is look it up it's pretty it's not too hard to figure it out what's up everybody welcome to the show is the alibi extra crunchy episode yet ready for this 97 bro 98 a nice nice Spanglish right there this is the Apple byte extra crunchy all things Apple going on inside the world of Apple a complimentary piece to our video podcast that comes out weekly but really just all the in-depth good stuff this is a show all for you all we have tons of great calls again you guys are like stepping up your game and I love it 1-800-695-1418 where it stands and what happened because that was just the big news in the tech world but we want to jump off today from the start with a story from Bloomberg that pretty much dropped just about an hour ago before we came up with our buddy mark gurmann and the headline here Apple is planning a 4k upgrade for its TV box now we've heard a lot of rumors that maybe the 4k Apple TV would show up at Apple's keynote that's coming out sometime this September according to Mark Garmin and company at Bloomberg their plan to unveil this new 4k Apple TV with an upgraded set-top box obviously that can stream 4k and highlight television content such as news and sports so this is kind of changing or evolving how the even the software will be the updated box will be revealed alongside the new iPhone and Apple watch according to them their sources would not did not want to be identified but it also says it will be running a faster processor capable of streaming 4k content so we could be talking about an a-10 processor potentially inside of this new Apple Apple 4k TV also not only will it support higher than 1080p video the goal here is they're testing a version of their TV app right now the one that launched back in 2016 that can now also aggregate programming from apps that already offer live streaming yeah so remember when Apple TV first came out was really app based and then it kind of evolved into a lot of different TVs TV stations networks content creators offering their own versions of apps where you can watch their programs then Apple TV created the non confusing named TV app which then was kind of a place that showed and kind of collected all these apps and places to watch stuff in one place and then the biggest part about it is that it saved where you left off on a TV show or a movie whether it was through the apps or through stuff you purchase on iTunes from an Apple TV to other other Apple products but this is all being folded into what they hope for this new 4k based Apple TV we know that Apple teas and some of their earnings reports that we'd see more from TV OS by the end of this year that was actually Tim Cook who's - that specifically but we also talked about last year about content and really what is Apple TV need to be a success mr. Beecham needs good content it needs the goodie to draw us in draw me and take me in they also need a if they're gonna show off live content on this Apple TV app I think in a holler at us or what oh yeah holler at us man we can we can eat our own Channel Apple we can actually start just saying good things all the time and then that would be difficult that's a tall order they'll definitely put us on it we do that maybe we'll get invited back to back to ants and stuff but again this is one of those things we expect to see but a 4k upgrade TV this is a report now by Bloomberg and they're just really on top of their stuff that's that's pretty much a confirmation in my mind now we also want to talk about before we jump into other things we're talking about the Apple TV this story dropped after last week's show I think around Friday or so but let me just pose this question you first beat him yes or beat you know we got we got beach and town going on here and tell me what you think about this now there is a story initially started by Bloomberg that said Apple and Comcast were in talks with movie studios to enable them to create a new video on-demand service that would allow you to watch movies maybe within 7 10 17 days after their actual theatrical release so let's talk about it something like thor ragnarok black panther justice league what if you could watch those movies 17 days after they were in a theater from your home for $50 per movie see that I'm like on the fence about this because $50 is a lot but I took my kids to see Lightning McQueen a couple of weeks ago right and it and I don't wind up spending that actual title that movie is car 3 I wanted a well actually well actually you their cars triple yes I wound up spending probably like 70 bucks in the end you know like tickets food partying it added up and my kids were like in the seat and they're like moving around they're like oh they're like ready to get out of there because they're like five years old three years old right so I mean if we could have watched it at home then this might this might be good but the problem with this is that it couldn't mean the end of movie theaters well here's the thing though right I think this is I thought this is great because what has happened and people don't realize a lot of people say why why would they do this and what's happening is because of how much better our home theater systems are getting in general because people are always on the go because of this on-demand nature and for people that are watching and listening if you guys can write your comments right now we'll jump in and kind of throw some of those out what do you think about this whole service but because of the nature of changing of how things are becoming or how our lives are evolving around movie theaters and things are getting so much better at home right we have like 65 inch screens that are like 4k now surround sound systems they need to figure other ways to make money in these different windows typically you have a theatrical release and then it goes it's available for you know VOD on-demand right and then right so then and then you like maybe a year later or you know even on Netflix after let's say six months seven months you're starting to see them on Netflix like things like civil war and all that stuff from marble so they want to create a new window a lot of people when they first when I first posted this story reacted negatively at their like $15 no way no way I would never do that you know what I think there's a group of people that are like that single young people that don't want to pay $50 to rent a movie and this is not even a purchase as a rental but this is exactly what someone with a family with four four to five five five girls right right three-year-olds look I know we have a lot of young listeners I have nieces and nephews I don't have kids yet but a three-year-old is a handle two-year-old three at a movie theater it's yeah I've I didn't know what I was getting into you see how long he just blinked you saw how long you closed your eyes I felt that so I think it's look this is great just to even have as an option just have it as an option to you doesn't mean everyone has to do this just have it as an option you want to read you some real time real cash aleem these are comments from a YouTube channel another subscription a posture you know exclamation it's a resolution on subscription bro that's really expensive Oxshott Kumar says this would be the end of theaters laughing my ass off I love theaters too much they should be low this should be lower to $25 a bag of popcorns almost $10 now so you know a lot of people feel like right right off the bat their first feeling was like it's too expensive they don't want another subscription and to the point here harpy two three one on the periscopes just said for some people it's about the experience that's why I go to movies yes yeah but again it depends on where you fall in this some people it's the experience some people it's a hassle to go to movie but you do because you wanted to share an experience with your family but if you just share an experience with the country as a whole new big movies coming out oh my god like or even when sometimes when you see like a movie and like the laughs are louder and the UH the oh my god are louder so when everyone in the room is like doing it it's like there's something about that guess what there's something about going outside and interacting the people like complete strangers this is like a novel thing so this is in the works Amazon jumped on board with this now initially the pitch was fifty dollars after 17 days a new number that is being thrown around is $30 for a rental 30 to 45 days it's Apple Amazon and Comcast who are in discussions with movie studios about this the other aspect that isn't talked about this is the movie theaters themselves they have a stake in this right oh you share profits so one of the proposals is that the movie theaters the physical movie theaters would be able to get a cut of these rentals they wanted a deal that lasted ten years yes and so that's right they want to lock in security for themselves because they don't really don't know how this is going to affect them no neither neither do you know Apple and Comcast one offer I think for people like Apple can cost Comcast and Amazon it's easy for them because they can build this service and just have it there we don't know if it's gonna people are gonna really flock to watching at home or not but again the movie theaters need to protect themselves they offered a 10 year contract under certain terms but then the tech companies were like that's a little too long we don't want to get locked into giving you this this profit and margin well we don't even know how this is gonna figure itself out so I think ultimately this is an an evolution where things were going for people that don't remember the founder of Napster I can't remember Sean Parker yeah he actually proposed a service like this a few years ago but it was poo pooed you know he comes from a background of Napster was used for ripping content music yeah right still recovering right and he wasn't really their friend no and never has been so when he tries to pitch something a legitimate service or a great idea because of his history with how he how his beginnings in in edia came it's like they don't want to hear him he's kind of a lightning rod yeah yeah so I think you got to give props for him for even pushing this idea out and then which the main companies going after it just when this article came out last week though it's it mentions that you know stock market and a bunch of these giant cinema chains dropped by like 8% like their stock dropped just with the mention of this article so they're saying these theaters just need to come out and be firm and just say no we're not gonna do this they're asking for 10 years yeah they'll get 10 years but then what happens after that then it probably I think it just conveys it out over 10 years who knows so uh it's this big stakes here I mean movie theaters are giant business in this country you know and I'm still I'm on this I'm on team I love going the movies Dolby cinemas significally not even I'm not trying to pimp that it's just amazing you know people that have seen some other stuff they know how much I'm in love with that but I still like enjoyed experience there's nothing that can replicate it there's nothing that can replicate a guy with the nervous shaky leg shaking your chair of the entire movie yeah shaky like doing the half turn like oh my gosh shaky leg guy at the movie theater are you kidding me I hate that guy talking people - yeah I've sometimes been I'm not gonna be too harsh on that so anyways love to hear for people that listen to our show again you guys can guys and gals can call us and they're both 12 megapixel cameras it has a school ability to not only change the depth of field with shots you take before right blurring out the background you can do it after you've taken the photo the camera right now bottom line is better than the iPhone 7 + S camera and guess what it should be because it's basically about a year difference but they did this hilarious demo where they showed like Oh our optical image stabilization versus the iPhone 7 plus again yeah it's in that first clip you had maybe like halfway down it and they showed someone like on a dock and they showed the iPhone 7 plus literally being like shaken like it was on a roller coaster and I have never I I mean come on no I've never seen an iPhone camera shake that much sure the Galaxy Note 8 has dual optical image stabilization on both lens but it was such like I'm like this is BS man this is B as soon as I saw it - I was like that is silly I think I found Ariel I'm silly like someone is literally there's no way shaking the camera round on purpose because every iPhone video I've ever taken is is very you know like you you'll be you'll notice yourself that you're shaking like I'm having around but don't we watch the video and the finished product it's very stable so like this is very a child a child doesn't shake even the child's messaging shake a camera that much so either way the note is is really you know they played it safe because they had the whole debacle with the note 7 and I'm not gonna make any more fire exploding jokes because I've said this before like if we all it's not only to play it out if we all love technology we should we want to see other companies succeed we want to see them push the bar we want to see them encourage Apple to innovate as well in or at least catch up depending on how you see it so the notes that the note 8 looks like a solid competitor but the main point that they want that they were really trying to show off is that their camera was better but then again it's like we're gonna see a new iPhone like in a few more weeks so it might be better now like hold on to that right now but uh the dizzily pretty awesome man it does look nice yeah alright should we take a break and show some love to the people that keep us in business let me get some music happy to be in that mood bro we're and there's my iTunes it justice running a little slower than yuge I'm not even worried God all right check this out ladies and gentlemen boys and girls our sponsor this week is ero the single router Wi-Fi model it just doesn't work for our increasingly high bandwidth world so what you need is a distributed system it's zero that's EE ro now whatever your Wi-Fi needs are it has the power to seamlessly blanket your home in fast reliable Wi-Fi it has not only kind of this base station but it has these other wall outlets that allow you to earn you know like nodes that allow you to expand the coverage into any room think of it as a mesh network not to mention the addition of a third 5 gigahertz radio inside these second-generation arrows it's now a tribe an ryoute er twice as fast as its predecessor it also has a new radio band to talk to smart home devices as well the thread radio band so that's gonna be cool it hasn't really been optimized yet across the industry but it's ready and future proof also these beacons they're half the size are more powerful than the original ear oh I didn't want to talk about the fact that my parents they have like this three level house and I only at the time had an airport Wireless an old one cuz they don't really need that much internet but it didn't get the best signal so basically I just gave it a shot right arrow sent us a package to see does it deliver on the goods and the setup was really easy and it was really cool so all I'm saying is that we used it in my parents house they have better coverage now because of it I am going to return the ear I did not get a Paola I'm just saying this wants you to try out the product you just want me to try it out successful so it's really great again when you have a distributed network it's going to be better and also with people's homes I can't tell you how many people the number one thing with their wireless connectivity is like I don't get in this room how do I do it right this is one of those ways to do it so check it out we're giving you what the Apple buy thanks to ero free overnight shipping to the US or Canada all you have to do is visit eurocom that's EE ro comm select overnight as the shipping option and enter Apple bite at the checkout that's eurocom code apple bite holla thanks y'all sweet I guess we can keep on doing the show cuz we saw have a sponsor right yeah we have a sponsor they're continuing to sponsor like like like they should alright check this out let's jump over we we know there's tons of iPhone 8 news we always have iPhone 8 news for you but we want to keep on giving it to you this is the latest and this makes sense if you guys are wondering on your calendar where exactly is Apple going to announce the new iPhone 8 and some of these other products we've heard about the series 3 Apple watch and the new 4k Apple TV according to Mac forever they believe based on top it's a European website so if you pull up the link you won't be able to translate it and immediately you'll need the help of Google to do that but they basically said based on talking to their phone carrier contacts those phone carrier contacts have been told to prepare for September the 12th as the announcement date for the new iPhone 8 to prepare for marketing materials inventory as well that is the date that has been targeted that is a Tuesday typically Apple has done their September iPhone keynote in the first two weeks of September sometimes it's fallen on the 9th sometimes fallen I think like the 10th or 11th but it's typically been in that sweet spot this would really align with that and then the other part of that is later on after they put out that first piece of news they also then kind of dug deep and there are also now claiming that September the 22nd will be the official launch date of the actual new iPhone yeah put on your so that means I'm coming back out here bro to see you oh yes which is nice I mean I I like when you see my face I like it a lot so a September 12th potential for the announcement September 22nd potential this is not confirmed Apple's not spoken on the shed typically we at CNET get invites to these events like the Thursday the week before the actual event so we didn't hear anything this week that means it's not happening next week we'll keep you posted with everything there I like this little breakdown of dates from iPhone 5 iPhone 5s you know the different launch codes yes oh yeah it kind of lines up here it totally lines up in that time frame so we've had for example the iPhone 6s or started a lot yeah the iPhone 6s was announced September 9th released September 25th the iPhone 7 was announced September 7th September 16th so Dave typically in 12 12 10 9 somewhere around there so we'll see all right also just a quick thing about the Apple iPhone 8 it was a real quick kind of little blur bench in the Korea Herald everyone's we get a lot of questions about how exactly is the face ID or the face unlock facial recognition system for the iPhone going to really work again we don't 100% know we can only pull what we learned from the home pod firmware that claimed things like it'll be able to see us in the dark it'll be able to see you while the phone is resting on a table at different angles it'll be a depth sensing the facial recognition that'll be one of the aspects it didn't really outlay if iris scanning is part of it as well those were some of the rumors but according to the Korea Herald everyone's talked about how much better will this be will I miss the touch ID bun they say that the iPhone 8 will be able to unlock your face within millionths of a second nice one that's what we want immunity in seconds cuz right now it takes like what like an a second and a half to do with your finger you know well that's all that's on the older that's on the older touch ID oh yeah yeah you know like mine if you're not if not with the times even Beecham it's gonna take like a second and hours behind I'm on split second I'm not millionths of a second but I'm on a split second nice be on millions man millions is coming yeah you're gonna you're gonna get it I know you're alright I'm pretty sure you are I'm the same I'm saving my dollars are you gonna have to save like around $1,000 thank you if you want to talk about that's which is funny it leads right in our next story the New York Times just recently claimed again everyone has been throwing these numbers around but they believe this is just actually now the more that I read this headline this is just click bait because we know this stuff in the Apple world Apple the price premium iPhone at around $9.99 $9.99 but we've heard this already it didn't add actually any new information so I'm not giving them credit for that that that's lame but the next story I thought was really cool to kind of talk about this psychological barrier of $9.99 I think there was a lot of people that are gonna completely ignore it they won't care because they're just gonna spread that money out over payments there was a survey recently by Barclays that claimed only one in five iPhone owners would be willing to pay the rumored 1,000 dollar price point for this iPhone ADA has been floating around that was according to one of their own surveys you know Barclays based on their survey was they thought that people might defect the Samsung well guess what the note 8 is starting around 950 $960 but then a survey by fluent basically says you know what kind of but that's not exactly true they surveyed more than 2000 US customers that said only 5% of iPhone owners would expect to buy a Samsung the next time they also showed that yes this makes sense iPhone owners have the highest loyalty of any smartphone brand with 79% intending to buy another iPhone model as their next phone I'm gonna be curious how this shakes out because ultimately Apple's gonna have three models of phone so whether the thousand dollar iPhone is a barrier or not I don't I don't think they really care unless as long as you buy an iPhone yeah great they don't care like long as you're still in the ecosystem he's still using all their apps all their stuff price discourages someone fine buy a different form factor model iPhone and some people have said oh are they gonna still stick with these three models or multiple size models ever since Tim Cook came on board that was one of the things he pushed for that was not a Steve Jobs thing it was definitely a Tim Cook thing and guess what their profits have reaped the benefits because of that strategy and I don't think that they're gonna change that anytime soon now this is working for him yeah part of who they are and they they took that model from Samsung quite honestly with different sizes of phones and they don't they're not worried about it being too confusing or if it if it bothers the customers in other iPhone news this was kind of hinted at in a I don't want to call it a slip of the tongue but I guess you could a while back at one of the earnings calls Tim Cook had actually said talked about like the Apple pencil specifically and he said that if this is what he said this is one of his quotes if you've ever seen what can be created with that pencil on an iPad or an iPhone it's really unbelievable wait wait iPhone do you see it here if you really if you've ever seen what can be created with that pencil on an iPad or an iPhone guess what that that hasn't come that hasn't come to fruition they're like I can't use an Apple pencil on an iPhone yet now patently Apple pulled up a couple new patents that specifically talked about an Apple pencil deliberately being referred to as being used with an iPhone and an iPad at this numbers won't matter to you but patent application two zero one seven zero two two four two four nine nine it's called noise correction for a stylish touch device it's deliberately calls out and clarifies that a smartphone and tablet are indeed part of using this stylus with touch to clean that up so you think we're gonna see a smaller stylus then and in the near future maybe I don't I don't know I it's gonna be you know it's funny because if Apple did a their own note product yeah and then you know I don't think we'll see it this year but if they did it would just be like the ultimate like holy crap guys like how much more do you want to just take another page from Samsung you know I just yeah I mean like we've all heard the soundbite of Steve Jobs saying how much he hates styluses styli or whatever you call him so it would almost be like sacrilegious for Apple to do that ever phone you know and you know we've seen that this is the thing again and I want to clarify this we're not making fun of them people in the tech world like innovation we know that Apple is a perfectionist they might they are not always the innovators sometimes they have been like the iPhone was like well there are already phones out there but at least the way you used it an interface was that was like that was a game-changer right but apples philosophy has always been like best but not first and best is in their minds for the record right but they're they've lived by this rule of best not first and other companies like get it out there and be the best that you can at that point in time right so Samsung has rolled out with a lot of this stuff wireless charging you know OLED screens and they've been fine you know we had the note 7 debacle that's fine but they're getting out the new technology faster apples like well not only do we want to make sure the technology is mature we want to perfect it with our platform we want to optimize it and so guess what the iPhone 8 or iPhone future or iPhone 10th anniversary is gonna be an amazing phone specifically for iPhone users which there are a lot of that just haven't been exposed to this but it's in a weird way I know because I'm speaking for myself it's probably gonna feel so nice and Samsung users and Android users will be laughing but when you're part of this large group once you get something you haven't had on a daily basis it's gonna feel brand new to you oh yeah it's gonna feel like and they're like yeah we had that I'm like yeah that's fine and then Apple II was like yeah we we got iOS where we got whatever we got our we have our ecosystem it's it's just one of those things 3d touch is was I was well there was another um I don't know if it's the huawei phone there's another smaller smaller coming that actually technically launched 3d touch before the iPhone but the iPhone was the first one to market with 3d touch but you haven't seen people really copy that feature and at the same time it's disappointed me because I felt like that was a peach of the Apple should have leveraged a lot more yeah yeah it's there but it's not like everyone's like I love 3d touch on my phone some people do some people don't even know it's there I know cuz it's it's a new behavior we have to learn you know and I've talked about that before like we're kind of tired of learning new behaviors to unlock things and write and use our phones so use your face you know yeah if I can just go like this and my phone unlocks that's cool well if it's within millionths of a second it would already be unlocked by the time you held it in front of you oh yeah the unlocking as I'm bringing it to my face it would be right it would be um let's just jump over to some iPhone 7s news I'm just gonna take this top story so we can get to the calls because we don't want to linger on this stuff too long but Benjamin Gaskin one of the ultimate leakers in the Twittersphere it has a lot of good stuff he showed off a photo of what appears to be the bare logic boards for the potential iPhone 7 plus but the two things to note here specifically called out in the picture here that he posted up is a spot for an A 11 chip processor and an Intel based modem these are two things that have been rumored like let's be real an iPhone always gets a new a new processor so an A 11 chip makes complete sense right the fastest one on the market right now is the 8nx which is in my iPad pro humble brag but uh also an Intel based chip which is interesting because we know that Apple and Qualcomm have this ongoing back-and-forth beef we know that last year's phone the iPhone 7 the Intel modem performs significantly differently than the Qualcomm modem that was better and so sure until it's had time to Qualcomm that is Qualcomm's expertise ok so I'm I'm also curious fine if we have an Intel modem and there are all Intel modems will the perform will we notice the difference in the performance will it bother us I think would it be interesting to see as if an iPhone 7 with a Qualcomm modem if it outperforms an iPhone 8 with an Intel modem I think people will be pretty pissed off it'll it'll kind of bring bring that little that group of people that likes to be vocal and just complain about everything not me look do you think you'd be able to notice it in like real-world environment because I know like we do like testing here we have a lab and we test all the numbers right it's all data driven but if you're like out in the real world it's like a normal person gonna notice the thing is so a lot of times when we do these like speed tests like they even do tests like launching apps right and they launch like 30 apps in row and there's like thirty or forty second difference and people like oh my god yeah oh my god but then it's if you actually just open one app on its own it's not really that's like if it's us that's right million split when you're adding all those split seconds over time then it adds up and then you're like I lost 40 seconds of my life launching apps for the last two weeks yeah bro first rule problems it's true it's true I mean again we're so lucky that we got to be able to just goof around with this stuff so we'll see how it plays out but I think with downloading files you can definitely get a clear distinction in speed testing if how which one is really that much better because that I think you'll feel the speed there versus just launching an app definitely also when you're trying to stream video stream music you know you're gonna run into some stuff exactly things of that nature the last story here we want to talk about just kind of the Apple watch we know that the series is Series three is coming out really the main feature of this bad boy is going to be the LTE addition to the iPhone or start to the my brain is scrambled to the Apple watch not much is gonna change form factor it looks like it'll be the same quite honestly battery life will most likely be about the same if not a little less they're not gonna really be able to pack a larger battery but maybe they can optimize watch OS a little better that'll that'll be remains to be seen because it'll now have GPS it'll now have LTE in there at the same time that's gonna use more battery so we'll see if they've really optimized this it was rumored they were gonna try and put it in last year's Apple watch but this cool survey from NPD data came out to really kind of exhibit how people use their Apple watch you know in a day to day basis and you know mine is powered on half the time oh it's actually working today so that's good sometime right because like I think it's like the first time on the show I've seen but let's just look at the survey it was a survey with I believe roughly 5,000 consumers that have SmartWatch what do they actually use them for okay so percentage of SmartWatch users the number one thing 50% of 54% of these people the number one thing they use it for is notifications and text the number two thing they use it for is activity tracking that makes total sense yeah this one stuck out to me and I was surprised then number four at 26% of all the different things smartwatches are actually used for what percentage percentage of SmartWatch owners use this function daily that was the condition daily 26% of them use them for phone calls that's us yeah like I that one surprised me then yeah I mean it is surprising cuz I don't see I mean I see people with Bluetooth headsets and yeah but I've never seen anyone talking into their watch not not yet I have not seen it if you dude that that's like if you don't think I like people taking pictures with iPads yeah hey bro it's kind of cool it looks cool it looks cool really yeah yeah it does look cool no it done but anyways 26 percent we're phone calls and we're it that that took me by surprise that that many people do that on a daily basis but I think what's really cool is that actually lens is a good sign for an LTE Apple watch to be lucrative and appealing to people you know I'm shocking that the remote control for music is so low on that list cuz you think that would be something to use it for a lot and also watching videos and photos I'm surprised how big that number Oh a 21% yeah like that's quite a bit at the same time sometimes when I look at this survey I didn't even realize it was a response of what they do daily I bet you some people are like what do you do with your Smart Watch daily and they just read it as what do you do with your Smart Watch they just check all the boxes you know that type of stuff happens all the time yeah interesting stuff coming out for the oh I almost burped in right directly into the in the mic absolutely normal remarkably healthy and normal my bad alright should we jump in the phone calls let's do it man all right cool thank you guys for calling we got a lot of good phone calls today here's the first one hey bitchin Tong this is Lucas from Cedar Rapids Iowa I just wanted to call and leave some of my feedback on the Apple TV content or the lack thereof the first thing I want to say is that it it doesn't matter Apple can spend you know $1 1 billion dollars it doesn't really matter how much money they spend if the content is good people will come if the contents not good people won't come the second thing I want to say is that their current content is just completely lacking I am currently an apple music subscriber I have been for just a little over a year now and I haven't watched the shows that they have available because they're just not compelling enough they're what they have is not not anything that I'm all that interested in watching I like to carpool karaoke when it was James quartern on The Late Late Show and I would look those up on YouTube and watch them but they were like 5 or 70 minute clips and now it's like a whole 20 minute deal like I don't want to watch that they like completely ruined the show and I just I have no interest in it anymore so mostly just my two points I love the show give good work Thanks yeah yeah that's a great point he's echoing what we said and then he's you know it's like you're watching Apple commercials almost yeah and even I love the point of because I don't have it I also thought what might be freshmen is on YouTube they released like seven or eight minute clips of the carpool karaoke Oh real on animals YouTube channel for free and it's just like what cannibalizing themself yeah and not only their cannibalizing yeah I get it they're trying to be like hey get Apple music but to me it's it's even more like oh yeah well this isn't really that great or that exclusive of stuff so we're just gonna put out on YouTube baby that's right yeah totally like okay sir but yeah great stuff great point it's content like I said we'll say this as long as we have the show content is king it always is alright next call okay I'll just cut a question for you guys uh I would like you guys to predict the next gate you know antenna gate Ben gate for the next iPhone should be interesting to hear yeah you had a prediction I don't really have one in my head right now but sort of but what was your prediction I think if anything typically gate comes from new designs and new features right it's something that they haven't been able to perfect as much as they thought I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with you know you would hope that they figured this out but I'm gonna go with skin gate skin game I'm gonna be curious if this facial recognition and this even in this depth sensor is going to really be able to work effectively with people of all different backgrounds that's what I was gonna say to Brian seriously totally have this way did you call it skin gate though or what you guys I don't know what I was gonna call it actually round game I was gonna call it like facial unlock a door something it has to be one word gate okay there have been that problem with other apps like not recognizing people of color yeah and my you know just doing weird things to their to their skin or you know that they are studs so there are issues with that so I'm curious how Apple's gonna get around that so you know what I love that question and I want to open it up to you the listeners and viewers call us at 1-866-376-8255 II of a reviewer as you are just curious how you got your start thanks very much love the show been watching for bands seems like forever all right have a good one guys bye you know why it seems like it might seem like forever but I've been told that I look about the same from when I started to you totally so I got something for y'all agent don't raisin asian don't raisin you use that you can use that with your friends next time if you have Asian friends or if your agent yourself are you a vampire you like baby yeah Tom Cruise to to his question um would I be I think I look if you work for an FBI any time in your life you work for Apple retail stores because you were fan before like that it actually didn't enhance it anymore I was already at that time I was already like I was intravenously getting kool-aid with the Apple logo pumped into my veins before I walked into the Apple store I think as you as you grow up some and you see how Apple operates not only there behind the scenes how they actually interact with tech journalists you start seeing a lot of let's just call it shaping the story or I don't want to outright manipulate a lot of spin that's that's the right word yeah a lot of spin and then also this arrogance that is completely unnecessary and that is remained throughout so I think what it has given me is more perspective maybe more ability to speak from also seen how Apple used to be in its heyday versus how it is now and again they are still financially they have never been better so they are at their heyday they're at their peak financially right now but are they after peak in innovation wise I would say no and that's ok but I still I serve so many products I criticize them because if they claim they are the best and I want the best tech then they should deliver on that promise instead of act like they're the best we've we've said this plenty of times so that's why I've got nothing but love for technology as a whole like my parents were both teachers I grew up around it and I'm just a fan of tech and I love it do I have a do I lean a little more towards Apple yeah but then I'm also the same guy that people say why do you hate Apple so much like why don't do the aquaboy Apple don't do the Apple boy get a new host if they want you to just be like everything that Apple does is just wonderful and perfect you see some of the videos out there on the youtubes and I'm like holy crap like your nose is literally brown like your nostrils are deep with Apple doodoo right now it's so embarrassing I've actually seen some of those people who were like diehard Apple people on YouTube or whatever and they've actually like slowly turned the last couple of years you know what I mean like they're getting burnt out on it too there yeah it's like what I told you about people just want to hear what they want to hear so I say stuff that's like real people don't want to hear it they get mad at me I'm like what I don't hate them it's like life is bigger than an iPhone believe it or not true but anyways yeah I'm a big fan of tech I love it and thanks for listening all this time yeah man that's dope alright number call number four hello my name is andre taylor and my question is do you think that the air pods will become easier to get now that they've gone from four week coming to six weeks to four weeks thank you for your time I didn't want to be too long hope y'all have a nice day keep doing y'all bang and I'm from Richmond so barrier represent Harry and well I could tell you right now there'll be two weeks easier to get two weeks yeah I you know I think he's just hoping in general will they pop up in stores there a lot of people here's the best strategy to get air pods in the store if you want them you call them around like 12:00 p.m. that's when your local time that's when they get shipments and something they don't they don't even know exactly when they're getting stuff all the time when it comes to limited quantity like that so just call around 11:30 12:00 they'll know if they have them then you just go if you don't have a job hover around ya then just go to store and you can scoop some up that's how most people are getting them other than that if you still want them and for people that think I hate the product they're wrong I say it's a very very very good product I just don't think it's a great product yet and I do use them don't even get me wrong I do use them so that means that's that means I do like them if I didn't use them it means I don't like them so yeah I would say they're two weeks faster yeah and get well keek to sneak out of rich oh my gosh water rich yeah he was badly hurt recently all bad um area baby I'm looking at the comments and a lot of people are saying expensive gate that's gonna be the next point dollar sign gate yeah $1,000 gate colligate delegate delegate okay we have one more call here we go BPD bheegi bheegi what's up Anthony Fontana California a couple things number one the watch can be used as a as a phone but TZ sorry bro you got to get off your high horse about the air pod man they're a perfect companion seamless transition you're not talking into your wrist and iOS 11s actually making them a little more effective the other thing exclusive content for Apple music I think that they should do maybe a documentary or maybe even a miniseries about some of the products that Apple had that made it what it was the iPad the iPhone the iPod the eight when it comes out home pong when it comes out you know talk to the people that actually had a hand in making these things and maybe a little about the inspiration behind it you guys mentioned that article about the Apple Campus that was really interesting you guys also showed forestalls interview that was really cool to watch so I think that'd be some good exclusive content and beachy bro Trump talked about these Foxconn factories before him even said anything makes him a leaker man I can't believe you he's an Asian leaker but he also came out and kind of lied was like Apple's building a bunch of that's not Apple Foxconn but let's get back to what he was saying about oh he was seeing the content the content the making yes you were you at you you were excited about the documentary about about them making products or something well I think you know there's a lot of when you go back in the history or the archives of Apple there's a lot of joy honestly like one of the things that I think has been missing and that's okay but the joy of design in Apple products yeah like there was no there's no joint design of that Apple battery case no no like like for example the original remember let's let's recall back to the iMac that had the moveable neck yeah that kind of looked like the wall-e lamp the inspiration behind that was a sunflower like that's right Steve Jobs saw a sunflower and then asked Johnny I've to make a computer design like that that was functional that's an amazing story and to watch to see how they came up with the different concepts and ideas and that that neck and that that's cool to watch something like the power at the Power Mac g4 cube one of the most controversial Apple products ever for those youngins that don't know look at the g4 cube okay it was at the time had the power of a desktop workstation it was this amazing beautiful piece of architecture it had limited expansion because it was the size of a cube but also it was kind of a learning experience for Apple and how they kind of evolved the Mac Mini I bought one of those years ago I don't even know how much they're on eBay now because I loved the design of it you you those are the types of great stories I think Anthony I don't know Anthony got me juiced when he was talking about the show ideas Apple should hire him and be like yeah what other ideas you got because that would be great that would speak to the audience right we're timeout content that we care about yeah but then again like what I was saying earlier was like it's almost like another commercial for Apple now that's a commercial I'm willing to watch I mean it does sound cool but I don't know if you know that's gonna be like premium content people are gonna want to come and watch okay fine you're you I'll give you that but it would be something that if I bought Apple music and I was getting content and if that was on the tier of tier one being like Game of Thrones level type stuff that was tier 3 content programming Apple documentaries on how they made products I'm so down with that I would even be cool yeah like real in-depth stuff I think the problem is talking to some these people that have left not only they're not they're not actually in general allowed to talk about you know some of do they sign an NDA yeah like you know why haven't we heard a single thing from from Ruby former VP of hardware John Rubinstein ever since it left Apple well the Scott for something was really and yeah like juicy stuff out of it and some of them don't want to bring attention because they're trying to do other things in their career but you know let's be on about Apple that's why we're lucky enough to have jobs to talk about this stuff like seriously yeah so when people hammer us a dude where you hit on Apple like we are thankful week yet if Apple didn't exist I'd be selling pencils on the corner of a street man be sitting on my desk right now doing something not as fun I don't know you might be doing something that's great and also to reply I'm not on a high horse about the air pods I've told people like they're good they're just not great damn yeah I have I bought them I live if I pay money for a product that means I am behind it yeah and it can be better so is that we got it man we're done you know we this is why we talked about earlier while we like these calls because there was like some thoughtful opinion and just great ideas inside there so keep that type of stuff up as well as ask questions but did you say you had a guy had like a eight-minute call yeah he was talking about the end of the world yeah don't do that fire and brimstone I don't know if that that's this is not the right show you're not gonna make us repent buddy this is the apple pie extra crunchy not live bites you monkey life bites munchies yeah okay we good to go that's a man here let me get some backgrounds like segue out of this thing yeah all right everybody get out of it again to be a part of the show be in the show call us
