2017-03-09
we are alive it's the amplified extra crunchy podcast from the Giant Bomb podcast studio in San Francisco California it's Apple by the extra country with your host you see them in that screen behind me mr. Bryant all what's up everybody welcome to the apple byte extra crunchy extra munchy episode 75 a beach we've made it this far so far Mindy five that's 75 what are we gonna do when we hit a hundred we always make up things that we're gonna do but we never do I wanna throw a party maybe have a giveaway some like that Rick will do something crazy all right everybody thanks so much for watching this is the complementary piece to the apple byte video podcast again this is a show that is all about you it's all for you call us out 1 800 61 62 63 8 that's where you can leave us your name where you're from your comments your suggestions your tips maybe your experiences just whatever you want to talk about here on the apple byte extra crunchy we want you to be a part of it um but let's just get right into the show and I don't know if you guys have been reading the news no can you avoid this whole WikiLeaks can is anyone safe if you haven't heard about the WikiLeaks story that means you just are you clearly are completely off the grid and the only thing you listen to is our show yeah you can't escape it right well now I'm full circle it's on our show now it is so now you can't you can't escape it but here's basically what happens if you're familiar with WikiLeaks they're known for releasing a lot of high-profile top-secret documents whether it's from the government from other entities you have things like the Hillary Clinton Chairman's campaign Chairman's emails that were leaked out you have things as far back as 2007 where there were Baghdad airstrikes they actually released a video evidence of this but now WikiLeaks just of just a few days ago made a claim and they released thousands and thousands of documents tying the CIA Central Intelligence Agency and their Allied intelligence groups and the different method detailing specifically the different methods that they are using or have been using to either get access to your smartphone's your computers even your cars and your Smart TV and everyone was like whoa what is going on what are these vulnerabilities you know who what are we susceptible to I'm going to kind of talk about a couple just to give you a scope of what they were able to do and how they were detailed so one of their programs was basically called Wrecking Crew explains how they crash targeted computers and then another tells them how to steal passwords using the autocomplete function on Internet explorer they had a method with your smart TV okay this is pretty this is pretty wild with your smart TV they're able to basically use your smart TVs microphones and listen use them as like a smart bug in your home whether the TV was on or off like this is documented that's gleam am documented a different med and again this is not just a few methods we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of methods and yes we know this stuff has been going on for a while but for it to actually be brought to light the specific ways that they did some of these things that's what makes it we've always suspected but no one has said this is officially exactly what they do this is what they call it this is a document that included seven what is it 7818 web pages 943 attachments all part of this first installment of a larger collection of secret CIA material of how they went on to hack our devices and gadgets now the CIA claims they're never going to confirm that the documents were actually accurate there's analysts that have been looking at them and they have said they believe that these are in fact true and and real documents but let's just talk about how this affects you and maybe how vulnerable are you really all to this Apple directly responded right off the bat of how how you might be vulnerable but Apple is says in a statement to TechCrunch that most of the vulnerabilities in the WikiLeaks docs have already been patched and so of course this isn't stuff that they might have collected just yesterday and posted this is stuff that takes over time it's really like a treasure trove of documents but this is um Apple's comment there's this official statement to TechCrunch they say Apple is committed to safeguarding our customers privacy and security the technology built in today's iphone represents the best data security available to consumers and we're constantly working to keep it that way they continue to kind of go on while our initial analysts indicates that many of the issues leaked today we're already patched in the latest iOS we will continue to work rapidly to address any identified vulnerabilities we always urge customers download the latest iOS to make sure they have the most recent security updates so that's the statement directly from TechCrunch that was going to be my question did Apple patch this after these docs were linked or leaked or did they patch this before so that just answered my question they Pat it beforehand the last but did they also see what came out yesterday and then go and like fix things Oren well I think I think it's probably a running situation because just earlier today as of Thursday Julian Assange who is you know the face the man behind WikiLeaks did announce that WikiLeaks is going to provide tech firms so we're talking about the apples the googles and the samsung's they're going to provide them access with more detailed information from these documents that they have that they have not released publicly to allow these companies these large corporations to fix some of these vulnerabilities that maybe they have not addressed now we know that always helping with it and here's the thing though right you never know how much he's actually helping I mean Julie Julian Assange has many different motives um he we know he's not the squeaky clean character is doing this you know to be a righteous person uh but at the same time at least because he said tech companies are reaching out to them and saying how how do we fix this how can we fix this he's going to give them the access to the actual documents so that they can at least address the issue because see in his he's he tends to obviously be anti-government right he's trying to show unearthed may be hidden agendas consequat unquote conspiracies or information that we don't know about to the public and bring it to the public light so you know you know you know interesting way he it is in his best interest to help companies because he's so anti-government yeah true definite so i found that kinda be kind of to be i'm an interesting twist but again wikileaks will work with tech companies based on these hacks but a lot of people are wondering like I mean think about that smart TV one though even when she's off I mean you know I have an echo in my house and well yeah you know I'm not hiding anything I'm not saying anything dangerous or anything in my house are you sure that you know their willful you that echo in your bedroom no no but um but you know I mean it's still like Phil you feel feels kind of icky knowing that could be like some NSA nerd like listening to me and my family or something you know but well I think that I think the premise that we all have to go under is that everything is hackable ya know for anyone to say that nothing is hackable just not true right everything is hackable and then on top not only that on top of that we by using these listening devices trust me I'd be the first person to say i love my echo I think the Google home is great too i use my echo more because you know it it's um it's just linked up better the google home still has a ways to go for compatibility but when we buy these products and we put a listening device in our home I mean come on you're no I know you're you are asking for you're basically saying I'm letting a company potentially here they're probably listening the apple byte right now well you know there was that case recently where there was a murder I figure what state had happened there was a murder and the prosecutors were trying to subpoena the recording from the Amazon echo that was in the room when this supposed murder supposedly happened whatever so there was the amazon was ready to go to court like fight me like no this is a private you know this is private information to this person who bought our device but then the person in question was like fine yeah take my echo and take the echo information i don't care so then amazon like backed off and was like okay we're not going to fight this we're just going to let it play out he gave permission to release this information so we're going to back off we're not going to let the the court set a precedent for what's going to happen in this sort of case you know so it's just kind of interesting like I wonder what would have happened if you fought it I'm sure Amazon would have fought it too I you know and even if if um these prosecutors do get this data it's not like a voice recording of some you know it's not like a voice recording it's like we're gonna get a bunch of script you know like with words and stuff you know II mean it's not gonna be like a an audio file or anything but I just think people shouldn't be naive to the fact that we are connected to tech that can be hacked at any time have you have you heard of a video game called watchdogs that's what we're talking about okay but but the body's not TV being turned off and it's still recording you that is like the creepiest that's like criminal on the TV manufacturers part you know what I mean that is that is pretty that is without a doubt that is probably like 11 of the wilder things that I could think of right I can't believe that yeah yeah I can't believe it all right let's uh when we talk about devices we obviously can't go a show at least right now without talking about the iphone 8 or the iphone x you know what actually I need to pull this up while we're talking I am I did a fun casual Twitter poll related actually know what maybe I should get to the story first before I before I bring that up is that a good idea yeah probably okay here's the latest added line with the iphone 8 according to Macotakara japanese based website that is continue to feed a lot of rumors in the mackerel in most of them have been pretty accurate historically the iphone 8 could reportedly be called the iphone edition and ship well after ship well after the 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch versions that is according to Macotakara the thinking is that the iphone this new higher-end premium 5.8 inch model would be similar to how they named the apple watch edition therefore the thinking is that the Apple phone iphone could be called the iphone edition I think that's the worst name man hahaha is the worst name is it really the worst name I think so I don't know if this doesn't have like a there's no like excitement to it the iphone edition like what does that mean that's bunk that's bunk okay so once that article came out i threw out a poll on Twitter to the apple byte nation and I asked them basically reports claim that the next flagship iPhone could be called the iphone edition what do you think they should call it and I gave everyone a few options we start off with the iphone 8 iphone x iphone edition and iphone future a total of 1500 people responded so i want to know first of all between those four Beecham 8x addition in future which one you think one I i accidentally already saw the results sorry this room I just meant I just loaded your tweet then the results popped up but yeah the winner by fifty three percent is the iphone X and remember I'm sorry we started that long ago it's awesome I mean it might have been at least three or four months and now some publications are using it I'm not gonna say we started it but I'm gonna say no did ya just say he we started we started so fifty-three percent came in with the iphone x thirty percent came in with the iphone 8 the iphone edition got thirteen percent of love and then four percent was the iphone feature i did get some funny some funny comments because now people like always like to kind of chime in and write stuff in their own one of them let me see if i can find it or not if I can't oh well it's just this is too bad someone just called it like the iphone just works um someone called the iphone s.h.i.t because hey because hate it because haters gonna hate someone called the iphone Deez Nuts edition Deez Nuts I would have call it the iphone Oh Joe I don't know that just popped in my head while we're talking the iphone Oh Joe in a cop-out would be hot I've oh no Joe you know that's from a dodgeball right that's how the Ocho I just pumped in my head I phone Oh Joe that sounds cool to me do you remember that though is like the ESPN was covering the dodgeball tournament and it was on because there's so many ESPN put on ESPN the ocho that's hilarious it's so good alright so my phone acts literally is taking the cake I don't know what you guys all think about that someone call it Trump phone come on the Trump phone died yeah why is it why it's always gotta be polite alright more stories around the iphone 8 future iPhones could support it's about time 4k graphics and much faster gaming this is from a row actual announcement and release from imagination technologies that their next-generation GPU architecture that is currently in the current line of iPhones their next-gen architecture is called the power vr Furion if you are i am theory yes burien the architecture will offer up to seventy to ninety percent improvement in real-world gaming performance includes thirty five percent better shader performance and eighty percent better fill rate basically you're getting a better looking product currently the GPU architecture that is used as part of the apple iphone is their series 7 x t so the logical thinking would be ok they have this new power vr fury and architecture it'll be in their series 8xt GPU that is again they have a custom-designed version of it for the iphone according to imagination technologies though the series 8xt will be announced in mid 2017 and they don't expect it to be available until the end of 2018 at the earliest so these advancements of uh in graphics that we're talking about you will not see them iphone 80 bomberman i just i just wanted to mess with you you basically will not see them at all Furion sounds cool though I want the Furion man now you down with fury yeah also report 3d sensor production ramp-up suggest that the iphone 8 will launch later than September so this has been kind of floated around a little bit where we know that they have kind of the standard 4.7 inch phone and the 5.5 inch phone and now we're talking about this premium OLED 5.8 inch phone and so from that they're saying that the actual 3d sensing camera chip will be from st micro electronics and this is this whole facial scanning with the rumblings that they're going to completely get rid of the touch ID button and no home button there's gonna have to be another biometric way to confirm you so the rumors that they will be using some sort of a front 3d depth sensing camera system to unlock your phone potentially and it's expected to be a new feature but again because of the actual timing of those components and the timing of the iphone 8 we might we might see an announcement but the iphone x we're gonna call it the iphone x that that could be coming a little later in September not or maybe not even ready for the month in September hmm I'm a little afraid of the bio you know the bio on the a lot like facial recognition unlock no I don't you think that's better than a fingerprint though if it's fat like have you seen Samsung's is really fast yes fast it depends on how accurate it is because I could see like people waking up early in the morning and just look all a crappy and like this your phone gonna recognize you or you know Microsoft has hello also so someone who's thrown it out there like Hello Microsoft has that as well I'm like yes they do they do on their laptops is that the only way to unlock don't it's not the only way I mean you can still always you can always verify it right with uh with your an actual passcode believe it or not those still work okay good right it's ice codes are still around sweet pass codes are so 2015 so 2015 so we'll see what happens over there let's take a break to show some love to our sponsors that make this show hop in and pop in technology has changed the way we run thanks to smartphones now even casual runners can map the routes create pumpup playlist and track their progress however taking advantage of all these technologies as mean stopping a look at your phone which means you lose your

fools at a at a roughly five six frame I'll dunk on you I will I will I will dunk on you I saw you go up against one of the Warriors man you're you were you're on top of him it was that what's this thing I mean I don't know if I was on top of them I mean I think that's very generous of you to say that but anyways check it out Mara dot AI all right back to the show new beta releases Apple's released iOS 10.3 beta 5 for the iphone in iPad bringing kind of a new little bevy of features to the table we've we've actually kind of seen a lot of this stuff already but it's just kind of the fifth beta so if that's kind of your cup of tea and you're into um please feel free to enjoy that I me includes things like their new Apple file system this is kind of the a modernized system that is optimized for flash storage include stronger encryption kind of a big feature of the new iOS 10.3 OS that will eventually roll out is fine my ear pods oh yeah fine I'm has baby no new amote no new emojis yet in this batch but trust me when I OS 11 comes out we're gonna get all new we're gonna get another batch of emojis nice like we hear you're all nice that's what I want to find my ear pods uh the thing about find my ear pods it will show you where you last had your ear pods and you will be able to play a sound from the air pods only if they're outside of their charging case which is kind of it's helpful but let's be honest most the time when people are have put their pods away it's in the charging case I see so that's going to be one of the other new features in iOS 10.3 there's also kind of a feature that breaks down exactly your iCloud storage in the settings and you have an Apple ID profile that's kind of a link to all your services and billing so there's just a few little tweaks in there so i would say um that's that's good on you if you haven't checked it out already you can later and then an another watch OS beta release this will be watch OS 3.2 beta 5 the biggest feature here coming that will be coming soon is theater mode to the apple watch so it likes ice basically doesn't bother you it's kind of dimmer it's made for theaters there you go believe it or not they they called it the other mode for a reason you know so you said that Apple's coming out with a new file system I feel like every they come up with a new file system every year is that you come out they come out with a new update every year that can drive people crazy okay but this is like a completely new modernized like file system architecture I think the one that they've been using which is I hfs+ has been around honestly like since floppy disk days Wow like pretty old okay not floppy how about no like at least hard drive at least hard dislike it's been around for a long time so it's time to modernize and they weren't they weren't optimized for flash storage that's what everything has now right so these will be more efficient which is which can only be a good thing alright Beecham I'm gonna do a little this is kind of different than what we've done before but I'm working on this this kind of how to but I wanted to talk about it to the apple byte nation on the on the apple byte extra crunchy but how are you with cutting the cord why are you I'm like I'm still on the fence like I still have comcast and it's way too expensive but I am like in my habits of how i watch TV and you know I have on demand television and yep it's on my phone and everything so yeah I'm I'm kind of on the fence right now so one of the things that I this might help you you'll probably have to watch the video when i put it out but i wanted to tell everyone really the best and easiest way as an Apple user to be able to cut the cord just using your Apple TV nice are you just did that piqued your interest at all yeah for sure yeah if I could just have one device and I have to worry about everything well okay I'm gonna take this bat you won't have just one device you're gonna have to need a lot okay so I want to break this down I basically want to break this down and I have links on that you can show people as well beach as we kind of go along with it so if you're listening you might want to pause you might want to get a pen and paper or if you're watching you can pause and get a pen and paper but there's really four things that you need to make to really make this happen in when I'm I'm not just saying by cutting the cord Oh get netflix and hulu I'm talking about actually getting a cable a live TV streaming service as well as over the air antenna TV so you get your local stations and you also get cable package stations all alright so that's first thing fixed you need first thing you need step 1 a fourth generation Apple TV okay that that retails right now I believe that are at 149 I believe they start at 149 for the 32 gig one so let's start off with step 1 4th generation Apple TV step 2 I want you to show this link this is a product called the hdhomerun it's from a company called silicon dust if you go to their website silicon dust com it's this box now they have three different boxes well what these are this is basically a breakout box that you connect from an antenna like an actual over their antenna and then you connect it into your network just your wireless network so the key thing is that you have a fourth generation Apple TV on your home network and you have this box called the hdhomerun extent what makes it special it's 179 dollars in price okay so you're going to have to pay for this but I over the long tail of this it's going to pick it's going to pay for itself it's $179 for this box and you connect it to your network why this is cool it is an it enables you to take in a antenna signal pump it in there and then be able to watch it either on your Apple TV on your iPhone or even on your computer and you can actually watch like over the air TV so what your major networks ABC NBC CBS fox you need this home run HD extend box and you need an antenna and antennas are really cheap you can find an antenna that's about 39 bucks if I wanted to walk around my apartment right now i would but i want people figure out where i'm at yeah antennas really cheap and they and the picture that they get is a lot of a lot of the time it's better than what you get from comcast or something you know well comcast gives compress of these cable networks are compressing three or four channels yeah yeah lee into one pipe or they should be separate you can get over-the-air HD channels and they're completely free so all you really need is an antenna but the reason why I want to bring this up is because I want people to be able to use it just seamlessly within their apple TV so and antenna 39 bucks this HD home and extent is 179 and then you have a fourth generation Apple TV okay do you got that does that make sense are you following a lot oh I know yeah fourth piece of this is a product called the channels app it's available on the apple TV it's called channels you can go check out what it can do on get channels calm all right it's a if I recall right i think it's around a twenty-dollar $25 app but this is the most amazing app that i have ever used if I want to get over-the-air HD TV on to my apple TV what it does is it not only do you get the antenna signal that goes through the channels app is basically the software that makes all this hardware work you get a complete TV Guide everything right you get show descriptions but what I thought was really special about the channels app is you can while you're watching a TV show it's actually using the 32 gigs or depending on which capacity you got the storage on your Apple TV to basically create that buffer so I can watch a show I can pause it during commercials if I need to go do something or pause the show I have to go to the bathroom I can rewind I can fast-forward this is all done directly to your Apple TV and nothing else that's pretty awesome man in time shift with it um the channels and then it works kind of like a DVR a little bit yeah yeah it's like a it's not a true like you can't you will be able to in the future they're working on a you will be able to actually create a true like kind of DVR where he and subscribe to shows but that's not going to be integrated on the appletv it I shouldn't try to confuse people let's just say this right now whatever show you're watching at the moment you'll be able to pause it time shift and record it the app is called channels app but again it's four pieces to this puzzle a fortune Apple TV a product called the hdhomerun extend which is 179 you can get any over the air antenna but the one that I like the most and it's a pretty affordable it's called the clear stream eclipse it looks kind of like a circle crescent moon but it's called the clear stream eclipse and you can apply it you can actually stick it to your wall somewhere and it gets a beautiful signal and then you have the channels app which is I around 20 or 25 bucks so let's see what are you to the clear stream eclipse is key because it's an indoor antenna yes and that is he it's app because it's hard to get a signal with an outdoor antenna if you have an inside I'm gonna work on a video to show all these components together but I think people that are savvy enough and most people that are listening to this podcast I know you're all savvy you you'll be able to put the pieces together and check it out so just go look at those things it's so what happens is you got your over-the-air kind of your local stations Fox CBS NBC ABC and then what do I pair it with you have variety of different services you could go with but i pair it with the playstation view service because it has actual DVR recording I love the PlayStation be serviced and now if you're someone who likes vh1 Comedy Central MTV those are Viacom channels PlayStation view recently lost that so maybe that's not for you but it covers everything else I need and then even just something like a sling TV service which is 25 bucks if those are all the networks you need you can get that as well so there's so many different options that people can do there's AT&T direct and now as a service but I personally like the PlayStation view service matched with this whole over the air antenna setup and the main thing that I can't stress enough is you can do this all directly through your Apple TV and you don't have to go anywhere else right people don't like turning on different boxes do different things there's an actual PlayStation view app on the Apple TV if your subscriber that's cool yeah so I agree like I have so many devices sitting on my television nightstand you know it's like here's my ps4 here's my Nintendo Wii U here's my chrome cat you know it's like it's hard to just navigate all that stuff so think about this right people these days I mean if you're a single individual you might be paying at least over 120 to 150 dollars on your cable bill right yeah 2 125 oh so think about this you can get it you can over the course of this you're gonna save money I know there's an initial investment but think about this not over even over a year over years you can basically find a service and internet plan that is maybe what like forty fifty dollars per month that's all right so they all you need is an internet connection that and that's going to be a quality one for around forty fifty dollars per month let's say 40 say fifty dollars you buy a Playstation view subscription plan that's around 45 more on top of that so your time about 90 yeah your time out 90 95 let's let's just call it yeah 90 95 but then once you buy the rest of the stuff you'll never have to pay for any other additional services after that yeah huge oh yeah it's huge so let's say I'm fine maybe you're one it doesn't but you're too you're three or four you're going to save you're gonna save lots of money that's great man so I'm just letting y'all know if you all wanna know a lot of you might already have an a fortune Apple TV so you've already put that costume so I'm basically telling you it's about two hundred twenty dollars to get set up with everything else you need there you go listen listen alright so we get some calls yeah yeah that's it the calls video and also for those you listening if you guys have any other suggestions or just tips about streaming let us know we'll take the calls and we want to educate all of our listeners as well cool alright here's our first call i'm calling from australia from brisbane i just wanted

a rumor it's just what I see samsung phones do I mean it's gonna look sick cuz it's gonna be it's gonna just look like a samsung phone honestly i don't know i just i don't know about curved glass i haven't really used the phone with carglass oh I don't know all I'm size are gonna strain or what I fill out my pants pretty good because they're so tight like I don't know if I got it room for an extra inch I know I don't have room for an extra man uh alexa alexa knows cuz it's listening bra Oh Alexa get out of my life Alexa just kidding oh I set up cetera okay next call asking awful much hey Alexa order some no I'm just kidding ok the last call ready yeah ok is gear from Ohio again my question is I'm about to buy the iphone 7 plus and I'm not going to buy that iphone 8 i'm based on what people are saying so my question is what we can you do to make me convinced that the iphone 8 go to the best iphone 8 ever or the best i phone manners um they've shown anything else seems like i can get you just as much with the iphone 7 vs the iphone 8 so yeah whenever you get a chance please answer my question okay bye have a nice day it's very smart yeah he's just asking us to convince her to buy the iphone 8 though dude like you know I leave that Tim Cook he's gonna come out he's gonna say this is the best backbone I've only ever ever ever made he's gonna say that then you're gonna be like oh wow it is you're gonna be like oh my gosh but see here's the thing when Tim Cook says that fine when Steve Jobs says that everyone's already opened up their wallets impressing refresh yes yeah bike seriously pre our pre order right now right now like they don't even care um I don't you know quite honestly look it comes down to what do you really need saw hey guess what some people in this tech privileged world need the latest the baddest most awesomest iphone like quite honestly if they put the bouquet effect camera in the 4.7 inch iphone I'd actually be that that would make it hard for me oh yeah yeah that is awesome it too but I'm gonna be real with you all at the end of the day if this is the 10th anniversary iphone and if all this stuff that is being thrown out there does come true I'm probably gonna buy the 10th anniversary iphone yeah you know the funny thing is I've been that guy who's like I need the latest phone I need it right like I need to have the best phone out right now but that feeling only lasts like maybe six months or so you know what I mean that's a real time dude I don't a lot of time but still like less than a year and then all of a sudden your phone's not the best phone again I don't know it's it's a very short-lived feeling well here's here's how I'm going to put it for people Apple has pre ordered enough screams for this 5.8 inch oled screen they basically pre-purchase 160 million screens from Samsung to be produced for this new premium iphone you can tell where Apple's brain is thinking because in past years basically they're leading phone whenever whatever it has sold they've sold around 200 million or so in that first quarter so the quantities that Apple's wrapping off is there assuming that people are going to buy the bigger phone and I think that's what's gonna happen yes if it has definitely a big trend going towards big if it's for it looks if it looks like a new phone people gonna want that one like I've had this is so pathetic right we've had the 6s and the seven that have looked pretty much exactly alike right yeah totally so there's two years there's a lot of users that have hold to have their phone for more than two years and they're now waiting for like the tenth anniversary iphone like you know whether even though yeah sure it does duplicate a lot of stuff that other phones have had we don't dispute that but it's gonna be the it's it might be it probably will be the best selling iphone of all time attending and the seven was just the best selling iphone of all time right yeah yeah so so yeah there's Adam there's a huge demand like people could really passed on the 7th day I don't think people are thinking they're gonna pass on the 8th we definitely poo-pooed the seven we were like oh the 70 it's not that great but then it came out we were kind of shocked when we heard all the sales figures you know in the last couple months because you have a group of people who've already been waiting for two years to get a new phone so now you're gonna have people that I've waited two years for this new phone and people that it's more comes down are those one year people gonna jump ship just to get the new phone and I think there's a lot more of them for the eight yeah yeah that's where you're gonna see it so so there you go there you go I'm sorry if we didn't convince you otherwise we just end up talking about the iphone forever because you could always you can always talk about the iphone should we don't recap the rumors wireless charging new oled screen what else what else curved curved glass curved last with the wire with a wire not a wire with a metal frame usic USBC for charging you also have you know a 3d facial scanning recognition potentially no touch ID button at
