good morning or good afternoon my name is Steven Beecham and you're watching the Apple byte extra crunchy podcast with your host mr. Brian Tom what's up everybody what's up welcome to the show Beach and Tom come in strong all night long I like the outside you can leave the all night long all day long all day strong beats of Tom welcome to the show everybody in this episode 99 of the Apple byte extra crunchy our audio podcast where we just expand and just dig deep into the topics that are going on this week this is really the last word that we will have before the keynote that happens on September the 12th that is Tuesday that will be going down at 10 a.m. Pacific time but again if you guys follow us on CNET live we have like we kind of treat it like super bowl action we do a pre-show we take your calls we do we then have the keynote and then we do a post show so come and hang out with us it's gonna be it's gonna be really hype but for this show here well this is all about you all we have to apologize because beach-like our voice mails sometimes it just gets full and we forget to empty right oh yeah there's no notification that our voicemail is full and I just kind of figured it out when I noticed there's not a mini voicemails so I wouldn't clear them all out so we are good to go again so call us at one eight hundred what's the number one either guard 6-1 6-2 6-3 eight yeah how long you been doing this 99 episodes and I've said it every time except that time and you got it wrong I got it right baby I took me like you know I stumbled in the beginning but I got it yeah your name where you're from get your comments your insights I think because we're ramping up right before the keynote I think you guys in galas you just call us about what you thought about the keynote again 1-866 two six three eight I'll tweet that up tease that on my Twitter so you guys can all get on that but let's just jump into the show and I think that the new cycle is always interesting to me we've been talking on the show at least for the past two three months because right you're the people that love technology want to get all the latest scoops and rumors we've really talked about that whole rumored $1,000 price point a month ago we've talked about how there were potential delays on the iPhone 8 because of a manufacturing issues whether it's removing the home screen or sorry removing the home button trying to get that fingerprint sensor and it not being able to then moving interactive different direction we've talked about that I think like two or three months ago yeah well with this new cycle right all of a sudden you have mainstream newspapers kind of like putting out those stories a week or two before the keynote and I always find it interesting because this is stuff that the insiders and the people that care have been talking about for literally over the past two months but also in like last week there was a headline the iPhone may cost $1000 and everyone that is kind of you know my friends that follow this stuff casually my mom when my mom starts freaking out then yeah that's like the main that's the general consumer but they're like is the is the iPhone gonna cost a thousand bucks people are freaking out about it right yeah Jeff called him like oh man dude seriously and we're like yo you're not it's you're already paying pretty close to that right now it's not gonna be much so the hot button issue this week was the iPhone delays and multiple outlets report about this Wall Street Journal got the ball rolling basically saying hey there's been a glitch in the summer production that is creating a potential shortage and then you have people coming to me and saying wait are they gonna be low on iPhones like do I really need a pre-order it's like what's gonna happen how am I gonna get one or not and I'm just like oh my gosh like we know that they probably won't have as many on launch but guess what they've quite honestly actually already has always had shortages based no matter what Apple will never be able to meet the demand when an iPhone launches right yeah I mean it's it's funny because Bonnie our our executive producer was asking me about this last night or yesterday at work and like a month ago meeting you did a show and the headline was everything is on track like they're gonna meet their goals you know like action is on track but now it seems like that is all shifted you're saying there's a big production glitch like what was the production glitch but this is a production glitch that was reported like back in June oh how they were having issues with the home button in the OLED panel and then all of a sudden the same literally the same exact story with no new details gets published a week before the keynote on The Wall Street Journal and everyone's like you know ittan bricks yeah yeah right there hit and bridge you know what I'm doing it's like two or three years in a row we've had the same problem with like the rose gold phone was never available people went and they settled for another color that they didn't want I'm sorry beets I know that's why you didn't upgrade you know but I love gold that's like gold finger dude I love her well yeah so you would think Apple would get their stuff together maybe they're too busy building their there Apple campus I guess to worry about iPhones being on times so and then so I bought this after the Wall Street Journal put that on and it kind of started getting people all flustered because yeah when are quite honestly when our exec producer starts freaking out I'm like dude we this just chill out it's not a big deal then um TechCrunch threw out a report maybe a day after that saying that the high-end iPhone is expected to ship after standard models this was also this was also rumored back in June that this could potentially happen then they said they will be on track who knows we don't guess what no one knows exactly what's going on my hunch is that Apple should have some at launch I don't I think it would look silly to to be a month delayed it won't be the end of the world because guess what people have already been waiting so long for this iPhone I this is quite honestly the most hyped iPhone we've seen I think since maybe the iPhone maybe since the iPhone 6 where they changed the form factor yeah six six s7 yeah but this is the most drastic change that they've ever done across line we all know the rumors all of you guys are guys and gals are in the know so who knows exactly if this is going to be delayed another report from Street insider said it actually isn't the OLED screen that might be delaying it it actually might be the actual metal frame and working that piece effectively in combination with the design of the new phone this is a corner street insider so now right we haven't heard these stories for literally maybe two months it's a week before the keynote and everyone is going apeshit yeah we've got to put a story out and every we've got to get the people talking and again the its I just find it interesting the new cycle of this is the stuff that we have all been talking for so long so we will see what happens I think the other big story that I really enjoyed and it came from Ming Chico and it kind of gave us some perspective about what's going on with the iPhone the iPhone is roughly entry-level gonna cost a thousand dollars that's the rumor at least the entry-level OLED I phone we did ask just last week we were making a joke about oh my gosh you'd have to have like ramen for breakfast from lunch for dinner like beats you found that you found that tweet I can't remember who sent it to us Jonathan what does it say he says it would cost roughly twenty two thousand one hundred sixty cup of noodles for the price of the next iPhone so that's that's that's a lot of dinners and lunches dinner for two years 2160 cup of noodles Wow that's what it was a couple - yeah that's that's kind of crazy I think though I you know I've been talking people and you and I have talked about this a lot Beach but I had this sit-down with some co-workers about four or five of us we're getting lunch and people were complaining about the fact that the iPhone might be a thousand dollars and I said okay would you pay ten more dollars per month to have the newest iPhone right so first the first question is are you guys planning on getting the new iPhone yes but and then they're like but I don't like that it's a thousand bucks I'm like okay would you pay 10 more dollars a month 10 to 15 more dollars knowing that you want this phone would you pay that and what do you think the answer was across the board yes yeah they were all like yeah totally and I'll talk to my homie Brian Bay he always likes it when I shout him out so I will shout him up and I'm like dude just don't drink two drinks a month just just dial down two alcoholic beverages a month and you're totally good and he said to me that's what gets me from tipsy to drunk I keep those drinks yeah and so I think if you want the iPhone you're gonna get it I put up a pole I forgot to send you the link beach but I put up a pole on my Twitter just asking people right now right would you would you do it where were you at let me look it up real quick so I basically asked the OLED iPhone 8x edition or Perl whatever you call it is gonna cost around a thousand dollars would you pay that 10 to $15 more dollars per month on your bill to have it right now it's I just sent it out like an hour ago or so six hundred fifty one votes 64% said yes no hesitation 36% said no way Jose I just voted no way Jose yes way I think you're a yes way babe we'll see we'll see when it comes out it really took your hands it really depends on what the bells and whistles and like you know it really depends on the overall you know the function and form of the phone if it's really cool I'm probably gonna go for it I might wait a few months I'm not gonna go right away but uh you know it really depends on a lot you're gonna have to really sell me Tim Cook you have to put on a show a ladies and gentlemen as of the recording of this show 11:16 a.m. with 11 seconds I'd like it a timestamp that Stephen Beecham we're gonna rerecord that specific soundbite you just had and play it next week and we'll see if you were really if you bad because you're gonna go bonkers at that keynote I know you're gonna go bonkers I could've gone bonkers before it could happen I think this keynote is gonna be bonkers I really do and yes its features we No have been on other phones but it's all about right now we know Galaxy Samsung's notes LG's they've had so many of these features but it it's gonna be execution and quite honestly I think what also is always funny about new iPhones and this is gonna be kind of sad and I think Android people get mad about this and there's a little jealousy between both sides for different reasons but look when Apple puts out a phone with little to no bezel guess and no home screen mainstream I'm a consumer is going to think that's the coolest thing they've ever seen yeah like they're going to be on the title then you're gonna hear chatter when you're like getting coffee or something and get it probably hear two people say oh my gosh Apple release the phone that doesn't have any buttons on it and there's gonna be like a rolls from the Android people's give me a roll so the techni me but this is what happened this is the power that they have and that can never be underestimated it happens all the time you know what I mean I mean there's so many like Android phones all Sienna be like oh that looks pretty cool and I have no idea what it is because there's just so many of them you know and they're just kind of fly under the radar but like an Apple phone it's gonna big difference you know it's in front of everyone's face so you know I'm not there's a lot of the I'll just call him the general consumer that is easily going to freak out about this phone I'm freaking out because I'm excited I'm not a general consumer for the record so oh but let me just jump into the story that I thought was really cool talking about why the iPhone 8 might actually be $1000 or roughly in that ballpark so kji Securities analyst Ming Chi quo always has a lot of different scoops and he was talking about the OLED iPhone panel supply well guess who's producing the OLED panels for Apple its Samsung but in addition to that OLED panels overall there's not a lot of companies that can mass-produce them at the quality level that Apple wants for their phones and so what is what ends up happening basically makes you close at it the process or the OLED panels that I've a politically controlled by Samsung and when you only have one source that you're going to and one or one carrier one distributor that is giving you that part they're not going to give you a break or a deal on that pricing he reports that the OLED panel for Apple's new iPhone 8 is s truffle e 122 $130 per panel purely for the part that's before Apple gets their 30 40 % margin whatever they do on their phones but if you compare that to the 5.5 inch iPhone 7s the LCD module or the screen was 45 to 55 dollars oh so right here you're talking about basically a $75 difference before Apple gets there their profit margins up easily pushing that screen up around let's say roughly a hundred a hundred ten dollars to add on to the cost of the phone then if we talk about this new 3d scanning facial recognition camera sensor infrared we you know again we don't know exactly what is how many components are part of this but they're clearly putting in a new 3d scanner depth sensing scanner into the phone on the front face as well if you just add those two components together by themselves that's probably easy right there at least a $150 bump before you just talk about the fact that this is a whole new design x y&z so the fact that the phone is roughly around $1000 you know eight hundred eight hundred dollars is roughly what a 1 what is it a 65 Sariah entry-level 32 gig iPhone 7 7 plus after taxes around like it's like 772 $800 so if you just add these new components the screen and the the new 3d scanning sensor that's about a $200 boost it makes sense why this phone is gonna be around a thousand bucks so are you are you thinking like the larger capacity phones like the 256 are gonna be $1000 or I'm not the energy level iPhone OLED screen ouch you're gonna really have to sell me on the screen you're like Ernie I can already hear Tim Tim Cook this is the greatest Apple screen we've ever never made it is absolutely stunning look at it look at it it's beautiful and guess what I'm gonna be like damn that is beautiful that is beautiful all right um Barclays actually proposed kind of this cool idea of maybe how you can subsidize this phone I don't think it makes makes things better but maybe psychologically better and they suggested even with the rumours of this starting price point at $999 for you know an iPhone 8 what Apple could do to maybe appease the fans is bundling like a one-year service of Apple music I'm so for that and you would know I would be tolling for that in the iCloud bundle though they also mention if they give us yeah like a terabyte or even 500 gigs of an iCloud bundle I'm in like I'm saying yeah you know what I'm saying and here's the other thing though when I think about this do they even really need to do that like well it would it would like immediately bring a ton of new new users Apple music and there I clogged so would like bring in a whole crowd that would get into that ecosystem and be into and be using it and then maybe you know get hooked on it so it makes sense I like the idea of bundling you know services with with a hardware product I think that's that's super cool and t-mobile is kind of doing a similar thing with their phone service including Netflix and stuff like that like that's that's very like a year right that looks yeah that looks very like appealing you know what I mean I just I think that's a great idea quite honestly I'm not gonna lie I just would love a chance to see every episode of planet of the apps are karaoke that is what I've been waiting for the opportunity to do such a thing yes and get every like big album that's coming out a week after it comes out that's gonna be awesome [Laughter] we're just having fun all right as we continue to roll on this is I found this to be interesting timing because Wired just put out a really in-depth article that I enjoyed about Siri and how its evolved what's interesting about this is that Gregg Joswiak one of the one of kind of part of I guess you could say apples core management team is is that actor enough to say he's kind of part part of the a-team when it comes to Apple but he was made available for this article and when I what happens is when I see that when I instantly see Apple execs of making themselves available for a story if there's a motive behind it like they they are trying to they're doing that on purpose because they want people to think about in a certain way so Gregg Joswiak you see him on stage a lot when he's talking about products he's the Apple VP of Marketing he was made available for this article now they wanted to talk about how Siri has evolved how how it's more human-like sounding and I will give them credit I'm running the iOS 11 developer beta on my iPad Pro you notice how I always drop that in here at every show I also have to say iPad pro iPad pro so it does have a more not that it makes a difference to me as much but it definitely sounds more natural compared to the much more robotic Siri but there's a couple nuggets in this article that I found interesting one of them is they were time out okay how Siri has evolved but Gregg Joswiak Joswiak outright slammed the original Siri but not why you think okay so I'm gonna just read an excerpt directly from this wired story about Siri the title of the article is how Apple finally made Siri sound more human here this is this is the court this is in the article Apple says it's not it's Apple says it's not it's fault this is when people complain by how Siri has fallen behind from Amazon and Google when Siri first launched another company provided the back end technology voice for voice recognition all signs point to nuance as that company though neither Apple nor nuance ever confirmed a partnership now nuance and is known for like their dragon dictation software back in the day oh yeah whoever it was Apple blames them for series early issues this is quote from Joswiak it was like running a race and you know somebody else was holding us back Joswiak said they had big plans for Siri this idea of an assistant you could talk to on your phone and have it do these things for Ewing in a more easy way but the tech just wasn't good enough you know garbage in garbage out whoa that's pretty heavy man and you know what I think that's petty I think that is total BS to slam a company that you partnered with to be the first with a voice assistant on your phone you're gonna blame them for it not evolving like you chose them yeah you know when you're reading that and I'm hearing that like I just kept thinking about apples culture like their business culture is way different than a lot of other companies they're hardcore like they're emailing each other like midnight on Saturday and stuff like that and maybe this company wasn't like into that kind of you know 24/7 work environment you know what I mean so it's hard to say who's who's to blame whatever but I just feel like maybe Apple's culture was not in tune with this company what was the company called you know what you want yeah so and there were also other rumors right there the company that there see the stories bounced around a little bit because the company that also was rumored to be kind of the Godfather of Siri was the company that it now has completely evolved to the viv voice assistant right which was demoed at tunc TechCrunch a couple years ago viv was actually acquired by Samsung and used in bixie unfortunately it's not being used to its full potential but when viv was demoed at TechCrunch people can look up the video on YouTube it was ridiculous because you could do things like order a pizza on the fly add the ingredients you want change them in a conversational tone it was like basically it was literally like talking to someone about ordering a pizza and it understood the syntax the subtleties of take this that away and it and they showed it how it worked in multiple different ways it basically is able to handle multiple queries in a single sentence okay that was actually rumored to be one of the godfathers of Siri but you can't your Apple don't tell me you are so petty and you are it is pathetic to blame their fault and for them falling behind on amp with Amazon and Google because they decided to partner what nuance now in the article Joswiak says okay you know a few years ago they decided to kind of start building it from the ground up use more machine learning bring in people from multiple languages and dialects so that Siri could be smarter Siri now according to them recognizes roughly like 95 percent of the language translation that comes in you know there's some funny videos about Siri not being able to pick up accents but I don't I think it's just wrong six or seven years later to crap on someone when really it was your mistake and to not to not own up to it and just say we didn't do it good enough and we're also behind it's crap they're kind of total crap yeah they're like passing the buck a little bit but also like they marketed serious series like the most famous personal assistant out there like you know like Siri is like a household name pretty much you know so it's funny that they're pooh-poohing it now but they've like spent all this time and effort building it up and making it a household name it's just interesting like I don't that look that looks bad you know like other companies are gonna be I'm sure other companies gonna be excited to jump on board and work with Apple but at the same time they're gonna be a little concerned that Apple might you know talk some ass about them later yeah so I thought that was an interesting point in the article the the focus on the article is how Syria has become more human but here's another kind of fun excerpt I think this is probably the most entertaining one from the whole story here's here's what it says from the beginning Joswiak says Apple wanted Siri to be a get done machine it drives him crazy that people compare virtual assistants by asking trivia questions which always make Siri look bad he's Joswiak said we didn't engineer this thing to be Trivial Pursuit that is yeah that's funny that's like always the first thing people ask is like stupid I'm like guess what though that's not why people don't like series they don't they don't look at Siri as the best because it's not nearly as capable as Google or Amazon like they don't have the developer support that Amazon does and they don't have the brains that Google does it is better from what it used to be I think the first four years of Siri I refuse to use it for voice dictation when text messages because it was straight-up doo doo it's a lot better now and so I do use it yeah you're always gonna get an error here and there but it's significantly better today than it was before so I will give them credit for that absolutely that's cool so check out that article I think I think it's a fun one a friend of Siri the air pods I just want to let you all know according to Apple Store the shipping time for air pods is now around one to two weeks nice no longer six no longer four even if you look right now I think the order date says they'll deliver somewhere between September 22nd and September 29 air pods getting close to being in stock like like boom ice I need to let the people know because everyone freaks out about that six weeks is a long time in a way man that's a bummer but though it's not one it's you and again I have to defend myself for the record people that say oh he talks so much crap out the air pods everyone admits that they look goofy but I've told you there are really really really good product I don't think they're great but they're really good they're really dang good so let's just squash that right now if I hear someone say that one more time I'm gonna do the same thing I just did in every episode it's all good to hate something and then love it later you know it's all good we can takes what's wrong about taking a hot tape people's minds change they do also if you want to talk about people's minds changing an Apple right they have completely evolved into trying to find original content they've continued to hire more Hollywood execs to try and somehow catch up or be on the same level as Netflix and you know Amazon does have a little jump but let's be honest that the fact that was right Netflix HBO that's where probably some of the best premium content is that you'll find according to an article in The Hollywood Reporter Apple is now joining the race for the rights to the James Bond franchise which is really interesting so here's kind of how it breaks down Warner Brothers right now is the is the front contender what it is as MGM is technically like the owner of the rights but Sony for a while had the distribution rights so what does that mean mgn owns like the characters the likenesses and the stories Sony can distribute movies with James Bond on it Spectre was the last one I don't know I thought Spectre was kind of like one of the weak well it wasn't it wasn't my I don't know if it might have been my least favorite of them all I don't know did you see it I haven't seen Spectre but the last few that they came out with a pretty awesome okay well no Craig rules I like I like I like Daniel Craig but you can't top Sean Connery you cannot shut under E I'm uh I'm sure Mason Roger no Roger sorry more and more Roger yeah I'm more of a Roger more dude okay fine Roger more you're right shut up because everyone that's listening is just like dude clearly in a Bond fan and he's saying Sean Connery is the best one so are they they're just going for the rights to distribute they're not trying to like own the franchise and we're not gonna see James Bond with like an iPhone and like ear pods and stuff in the next movie right well what what is that if they get this deal they could much like Sony put the movie in theaters they could be the company that puts the next James Bond movies in theaters but also what this means and what they're looking to angle in towards because my amazon is also in the mix is getting the rights to stream James Bond films on their service exclusively yeah also able to be the first ones to stream the new movies that come out in the future so this is all about right content is king getting the best stuff I don't know if people heard it's just a quick footnote but remember how Disney is pulling out of Netflix to kind of work on their own video service and I think 2019 they did announce that they will also be pulling when their contract is up with Netflix all Star Wars and Marvel stuff as well that's a huge that's a huge deal man that is that's a lot of big content I think what's interesting though is also I didn't say that a lot because I think this week is really interesting I should stop saying that is that it didn't really affect Netflix because they have so much great you original programming oh yeah yeah I mean not that I'm like a stock watcher it was just that it was in the article but they said that the stock didn't you like drop like three cents that day so it wasn't that Netflix on that announcement that also Marvel and Disney stuff would be pulled out it didn't really hurt them so I thought that what's good for them but it also shows everyone wants to do their own service everyone wants to get their own content I think bond is a great thing the point for me is that Apple was rumoured to being working on original content and investing 1 billion dollars in original content which is about 1/5 or 1/6 of what Netflix is doing I think that the bidding here for James Bond they said the property could be worth somewhere between 2 billion and 5 billion so this would be separate from the original content but Apple is sitting on 261 billion dollars of pure cash they really want to give this thing a go and they really want to make their play make themselves a place to be to watch content they've got to drop more they've got to drop more than 1 billion on original content oh for sure what does Netflix is doing like 7 billion or sickening a years like that's working and it's working yeah you know all the best producers are going to Netflix like hey I got an idea all right do you want to hear my favorite story of the week yes I've loved this story all right I'm gonna read the headline everyone people might may or may not have heard of this this is how no I just love this from the New York Times the Boston Red Sox used Apple watches to steal signs from the Yankees here's the hit this is one of the games actually wear this hat was happening is in August it is so-so I will say this officially finally we found something that the Apple watch can do I'm kidding I'm kidding don't right we finally found something the Apple watch was useful for so this is I'm gonna New York Times did a really great in-depth article it's kind of the b roll clip beach so maybe you can follow along with me buddy it was a breakdown of how the Red Sox used the Apple watch specifically to steal signs from the Yankees so you have to kind of also uh it's it's another article Beach oh okay I'll find out so this is really cool and really amazing and you do have to understand baseball to a certain degree but I'll explain the best way I can okay so first of all right communication between the pitcher and the catcher step one the catcher gives signs to the pitcher you normally see them waggling his fingers one two three pointing out to the side or why not okay the way that this works is that when you ever you watch bass at baseball there is a centerfield camera and you can actually see the catcher doing the signals to the pitcher so what happened is Boston in a video room let's say in the dugout or underground is ends up being able to decode these signs how they do that they basically study the signs that the catcher gives they look to see what pitch was used when a runners on second base okay so they kind of figure out after they and a lot of times teams will code their signs and mix them up but what they end up doing is over time they can kind of figure out okay which is the fastball which is the curveball which is the you know right which is the slider and this hopes timing for baseball and baseball is all about timing and seeing the ball to strike okay then the third part of this after they decode this and figure out what the signs mean the video room sends the cracked code to the dugout via the Apple watch so to a member of the training staff this is what happened when they said that Yankee said they saw one of the one of the members of the Red Sox in this in the dugout see looking at his Apple watch so you could basically say something like okay this is a fastball this is a slider this is a of all the video room has decoded this they send it to the dugout now what happens is that we're sin in the dugout then disseminates that information to the players yes and why one of the base coaches right he he does not even one of the players when the players yeah so this is why this is important when a runner is and this is why this is only effective one of the runners on second when a runner is on second base not only can they see the signs so they now are given this knowledge base of what pitches are what the runner on second can also see the batter so the batter is then told by the runner who has learned the code the batter will then maybe give them a little nudge maybe they stick out an arm like the fast balls come in fast balls coming the batter knows this and is looking fastball so it's really intricate you need to have a second base runner to be able to decode this once he's learned that and then tell the actual batter who was batting that's how they were able to do it isn't that crazy though well process so oh look there was a guy on second there and he told him he probably told him fast balls coming out of the park go over the Green Monster there was a guy in second for that hate to these are highlights from the game from one of the games was rigged I know there was no guy in second for that one but uh that is amazing I thought it was like I literally thought there was a when the batter was in the thing he had like a camera or something I didn't know how was going but that's pretty interesting intricate how they figured that out so people in the chatter like I thought you can't wear jewelry on the fields guess what the base runner doesn't have to be the one with the Apple watch it's the dugout the person who is communicating with the video team in the dugout it gets the messages gets the code tells that to the players so the players in all it's not like there's ten codes to learn it's literally like there one is a fastball there two is a curveball there three is a slider once they figure out where in the cadence they're giving those signals off that's how they figure it out so you don't need to do that I think and then was funny as recently right after that story broke the Red Sox and I think the Blue Jays went into like game that lasted 19 innings so clearly the watch was not part of that game they're like no we're setting you down we're sending you down we see this kind of stuff in football too like the Patriots were filming the other team during their practice and stuff so it's a lot of technology involved in all these sports and like cheating stuff that makes the story even better these are there's photo evidence here Tim Cook actually visited Fenway Park and there's pictures from there the Red Sox Twitter account but Tim Cook ain't and I would like the manager and the mascots on the field oh I thought it was so good I was like this picture did not age very well like they need a caption that picture with cook dude when I first saw this I thought it was a meme like that someone made a joke for the Red Sox story this is hilarious man there's real that's all Apple watches you'll be champions again so good all right just a couple stories before we get to actually you know what let's just um I think was just get the calls I'll skip to the cults cool cool cool all right we had a lot of good calls and I apologize for our voicemail before but we emptied it and actually people did call us a secure so got a few we still got a feeling she's still got a feeling okay here we go : number one hi Brian hi BTM him from Buffalo beacon was talking about not waiting just phone to unlock too soon well Apple to take care of you with face gestures just imagine a smile a wink or even a duck face to unlock your phone duck face good watch - a selfie camera take care guys happy approaching 100 take care bye yeah man 100 coming up yeah I think it's because you want duck face yeah he was a the selfie that's that's a personal request if I'm if I'm reading between the lines yeah that's wishful thinking for sure but yeah that gestures face gestures phones do recognize those now that or recognize that really quickly now so it's possible yeah but I also saw this video of a dude was unlocking Samsung phones that had faced attacked with just like someone's picture from Facebook yes all that yeah yeah yeah so don't do that yeah please Apple make sure that doesn't work for everybody because that is a security breach no one read come out okay here we go next call do we know if this year if the iPhone is going to have the same chips across all devices I know that with the 7 they use two different chips and so there were some differences between the phones that were on AT&T and those phones that were like on Verizon like Verizon had the Qualcomm chips I think it was and the other versions had the Intel chip so is there going to be a difference this year do we expect Apple to stick to using one chip or using two different ones again thanks for the call this is in response to the modem chip that was used in the iPhone 7 there were two different ones in the Qualcomm was a better performing one but then there were reports that Apple basically throttled it down a little bit so that it would match the Intel chip that wasn't as that didn't perform as well and there actually there's Lee there's a lawsuit and legal battles going on between Apple and Qualcomm not for other reasons but also one of those aspects like Qualcomm's like dude you guys made our chip lower performing and look worse because you wanted to satisfy your overall customer base the latest reports for this new iPhone series whether it's the upgrade to the 7 and the 7 s7 s7 s and the new OLED a phone is that corn reports it looks like they will all be using Intel based modems we'll find out once the actual supply comes out I think that's a bummer because we know that Qualcomm just purely from their experience in the business they have had better performing until sorry better performing modems if it's an Intel one we want and only until we won't have anything really to compare to inside an iPhone but I think that well most people really care are you not going to buy an iPhone because they only used Intel chips no but it would be a bummer all reports though points of that it will only be an Intel modem chip enough in the new phone so let's have to weigh in see and find out pum pum pum that's the Intel jingle okay cool we're going Intel baby alright next call what are you like it or not this is Jack Jack what's up hey Brian hey Steven this is Jack just wanted to get your thoughts on if you think that Apple will switch from using a regular USB in to a USBC and on the iPhone a and all future Lightning charging cables since it will provide a fast charge thanks of the show so this is an interesting call because it's also related to kind of similar things that I've experienced with the iPad pro iPad pro so with the iPad pro right it came with a USB cable lightning the USB cable but not but you had the option to buy USB C for faster charging I'm assuming Apple could surprise me but I'm assuming that Apple is gonna do the same exact thing they're going to just have it bundled with a standard USB cable that goes into a charger the reason why is they can make more money by having people buy a lightning to USB C cable and then buy a USB C charger they can make around like 70 bucks more by doing that if they were cool they bundle it but I'm gonna guess that they will not bundle it that's my nostra Tongass prediction oh man I wish I had my lightning my Thunder strike ready for that well we need to get it on him yeah I got it I got it hang on hang on let me get to your lab all right hold on oh let me let me say it one more time then tell me when you're ready so we can cue this up it's gonna play go ahead say it right now why yes yes my North Street honest prediction is that premature premature sorry my man's like production on the pot production on the fly yeah I don't I don't think they will I they make more money by not doing that okay I'll get you a room at the moment passed it's okay yes I got all the buzz out loud sound I found all the buzz out loud sound effects the other day so don't be surprised if you're gonna hear a few of those okay so we have a one last phone call so let's hear what it's what they have to say what up guys this is Jay Mack from Brooklyn I love this show just finished watching episode 98 all I gotta say is Beach you're gonna be spending a lot of money for your new phone because I'm doing the same thing Siri call I ask you guys how besa purchased a new iPhone I'm definitely gonna get it unlocked and I just want to know Brian 1 should I start you know getting it right away to guarantee at least a shipment I figure it's going to be shipping out in February garlis I like to hear what you have to say I love the show guys keep it easy and against our Beach but again it's been a lot of money catch you guys later peace I'm saving my bucks man I'm confused because he said February I was like yeah yeah that's February look if you want in I think this new iPhone in general I think people are gonna feel a lot of pain like they did with the freaking Super NES classic cuz they can't they're not grown-ups they're not grown-ups it's like some of these things are hard to get online and you're not always gonna get them and I think we might if I had to guess I think we might there's gonna be some people that are disappointed about not being able to get the new OLED iPhone on launch I think they're gonna have some available on launch we'll see how much inventory they actually get out but you know the when people are complaining about the fact that their cart crashed first a Super NES classic and making it eight minute video about it or people complaining about i'm serious chizz like it's like that's horrible where people complain about like not being able get an iPhone or you know I'm a sneakerhead we deal with this all the time okay I'm just gonna put out there Houston Florida bastard Berto Rico disasters that are happening internationally was it is it I don't want to say it incorrectly I don't want to say Bangladesh but I know Mexico I don't care if you can't get it online because the system busted like we are so lucky to be able to have this stuff it's like don't make a video about that just have some perspective and just suck it up just suck it up sometimes you're referring to a Nintendo video which I highly agreed with the whole video or we know with uh without what's his name my frickin shot John yeah yeah I mean you know it is first of all problems but Nintendo's got to fix their problem with nets bro not bring this stuff to get robbed I've I've been a sneakerhead for years this this whole thing of like that sites literally getting hammered with millions of people to try and get a pair of shoes has happened for like the past five or six years yeah yeah like it's just the way it is I don't know now if you think what the Nintendo thing is definitely a pain in the ass well welcome to my world oh I gave up after the Nintendo classic I'm like no way am I gonna try to get this thing again NES the new and Super NES classic came out I'm like whatever and let me ask everyone how many of you are playing with your NES classic when was the last time you opened up that bad boy
