hello everybody my name is Steven Beecham producer for the C net Apple buy the extra crushing podcast with your host mr. Bryant oh um what's up everybody welcome to the show it is episode Believe It or Not one to one Apple white extra crunchy you know how we keep it machi it is our kind of extra piece add-on piece to the actual weekly video show that uh I think actually should have just gone up just a just a moment ago oh cool but let me get to what we're gonna talk about here today we're talking about iPhones extra large we're gonna talk about the Galaxy S 9 and where it plays with all this but before we get to the actual show remember you guys gals were either watching live or we have call ins all the time you make the show what it is so call us at 1-866-376-8255 nation runs deep alright so let's just jump into the show right now the big story that was that start off this week really comes down to kind of a confirmation of what we had heard earlier from kji securities the fact that there's going to be three new iPhones in 2018 well our friends mark German and company he's been a guest on the show have confirmed at least that aspect that yes there will be three iPhones really a big iPhone X plus 6.5 inch OLED based I phone there will still be a new updated 5.8 inch iPhone 10 or whatever they call it the 11 or whatever the X I will see and then there will still be a new iPhone that is six point one inches it'll still hold the same design of the iPhone 10 look and feel but it will be an LCD based display it'll still have face ID and the true depth sensor but that's all going to be in that package what they're really trying to do is come up with a phone that looks like the iPhone 10 but is cheaper and more affordable because Apple actually missed their expectations and target goals for the iPhone 10 of this year the firt on the launch and at least did not exceed the expectations or even meet them from what they had projected now there are kind of a few key things about this iPhone 10 plus that is going to be a little different first of all some of the rumblings at least according to Bloomberg this has not been confirmed yet but they do believe that the iPhone 10 plus will have dual sims in it and what does that mean that makes it easier to travel internationally depending on which carries you're bouncing around that are even flirting with the idea of incorporating isom in addition to you know the sim cards we have ECM right now the only if I were right the only Apple product that has an ISA minute right now is the Apple watch series 3 right now but it's not as compatible internationally and that's probably the biggest issue with it they are looking at it but according to report that's not set in stone other things that we've heard about this new iPhone 10 plus according to Bloomberg it will come in a gold color option and it'll also bring a resolution of 1242 by 2688 that would still fall somewhere in that over 450 500 pixels per inch that we were expecting but that is still not anywhere near I mean look when you get to a certain point things are gonna look sharp really sharp but I think the samsung galaxy s 9s PPI is somewhere around 560 or so so they're still bringing a sharper screen even though like to our naked eyes it's it's a little tricky a little difficult to tell the difference so that was kind of the big story that happened earlier this week on Monday in addition to that there were leaks of what's claimed to be the iPhone 10 plus display it was a leaked out in a Vietnamese Factory a pretty much LG Display which is based in Vietnam there's a photo that is showing this person holding it now Beach when I look at this photo it's either actually a larger display piece you can see there's a spot for the knotch or it's someone with very tiny hands so I was gonna say that guy could have really tiny hands like don't the countlessly has a little baby sausage fingers honestly yeah he does have this thumb is dramatically short actually well yeah that notch though look at that a notch there and then there's like a black like a you know like a bezel like the black that's like the little border that that's on its it's on our current iPhone so it's just a display piece that's out there but look we are expecting two iPhones three will be coming this is kind of the second legitimate source to really confirm this so we'll move forward and hey that's what it's gonna be also we know that if we're gonna stick kind of on this theme of phones we can't ignore that Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain happened this week I believe today is the last day it's just wrapping up there were a boatload of phones but how can we talk about our Mobile World Congress without timeout I guess we'll talk about the s9 in a second should we do that yeah let's talk it's popular but I do want to talk about this phone before we get the s9a seuss unveiled the ultimate iPhone clone it's their zenfone 5 series it has a notch it has a smaller notch it's a large screen phone even on the rear it's a vertical dual lens camera in that same sweet spot if you didn't know any better and without a doubt from a distance this looks like an iPhone 10 I don't know how they're gonna get away with not getting sued by Apple with this design specifically after everything that happened but this is a straight-up ripoff man dude even the advertisement looks like an Apple advertisement with all the colors and the swirling and the it's crazy but phone it does the big thing about this n phone five series from a soos is that price retail price it's gonna start at is around five hundred ninety US dollars that's awesome a little less than nine hundred ninety nine if you know what I mean all right so let's talk about kind of the meat and potatoes from Mobile World Congress we got the galaxy s 9 now or I'm not gonna get into all the specifics specs about the galaxy s 9 you can pretty much look at that everywhere on our site on other youtubers but what an interesting thing that came out of this was early benchmarks of the Galaxy S nine now what happened is an antic went to the unveiling in Spain and they ran tests that you can run on any phone right speed test we have a geek bench there's other tests like speedometer web XP RT there's a lot of different tests you can run these phones just to get a general idea of their speed now when they ran put this to the test according to geek bench for single core score Anandtech found that the X eNOS 98 10 in the samsung galaxy s 9 is slower performing than the a 11 and the a 10 apple chips so we're talking about iPhone 10 iPhone 8 it's not up to snuff with the the 810 was the Aten was an iPhone 7 so so we're talking about phone or you know this is so we're talking about the phones that aren't up to speed now again then Samsung came back and said look this is demo floor units it's not the final firmware and so I'm gonna give them a pass on that because we won't know until it's the final retail product in hand but at least according to these tests it does appear that from a raw power standpoint and again this doesn't factor in the actual operating system and how its optimized or not optimized for these chips but at least initially if you want to start some you know phone Wars you want to start some beef with your friends good or you want to brag you want to say like dude I told you apples on top baby apples on top your phone your phone speed is 4 years old you can go rip on your Galaxy buddies some people that listen the show probably won't even talk to someone who has a galaxy phone like nah I ain't havin it but at least that's the latest from the early benchmark to keep a beak bench geek bench for benchmarks as well as pedometer 2.0 those the early indications I won't make too much about it I wouldn't really like try to blow this up but it's just a little nugget that's out there so fine let's say initially the galaxy s nine can't top the iPhone current iPhone even when it comes to speed we haven't even seen what Apple's gonna drop on us with the rumored and most expected a12 let's talk about DxO mark now Beach do you remember this company they're the one that's kind of like does the analysis of the cameras and kind of gives a score yeah yeah yeah benchmark totally so I know you're okay guys and gals listening or watching he's actually literally juggling like a camera roll audio levels like the dude is doing a lot of stuff check no one's chatting with the chatroom that chat room right yeah okay well I'm gonna let you listen out I guess okay so DxO mark has always kind of put out these scores as the reference for image quality when it comes to smartphone cameras they they've kind of made themselves an authority but it is also you know some people don't really I don't even say understand them some people don't put a lot into them as well because it just seems like every time a new camera comes out they raise the score level now first things first marques Brownlee mkbhd did a breakdown of what a DXL mark score really means and what they do is they have professionals score these phones it's an aggregate score and there is no 100 is not the best score okay so if you're like oh this is this hit the 100 mark that's that's not how DXL mark scores it bones can get higher than the 100 mark right now all phones overall score is below that but this is what we got they tested up the samsung galaxy s 9 and based on their tests where they factored a lot of things everything from you know exposure focus color balance they found that the samsung galaxy s 9 plus specifically the plus with the dual lens camera is the best smartphone camera they have ever tested oh wow last year the pixel 2 was their best smartphone that they'd ever test they gave the pixel to an actual 98 overall score and the scores are gonna compose again like I said of different things but let me just pull this up really quick in the DxO mark samsung galaxy s 9 scored gave it an overall score for photo specifically of 104 they called that their highest score they've ever given to any still photo camera when it came to video it was scored at a 91 surprise surprise the pixel 2 is actually at least up to this point the highest-scoring mobile camera when it comes to video at a 96 but overall if you talk about like exposure contrast color autofocus texture noise they factor all this in and they come have come to the conclusion like the Samsung Galaxy S 9 plus is the best camera on the market right now that you can get that's cool so you know guess what people are gonna have inferiority complex users gonna be like I don't believe you DxO mark until the iPhone 11 is the top the highest rated smartphone camera we have ever tested yeah I mean at the Samsung event that we did on Sunday like they really were playing up the phone camera and a lot of people were just like oh it's boring another great camera or whatever but it's a big deal like everyone wants a good picture wants to be able to just take out their phone and take a quick picture without having to worry about it a lot so that's a big deal to have the best camera so far but you know and some other camera will come next year knock it out but the biggest thing that makes it special is this very variable aperture this is a lens that can switch on the fly it's actually uh I'm a kid a mechanism right where the blades of the lens you know closed or open like this depending on which aperture you want you want more light in you go with an f15 you you know you don't need as much light and f2 for is fine it switches between those two apertures that's honestly that's an awesome innovation in the camera space so you've got to give them props for that they really over-promoted their whole super slow-mo feature look there's cameras that do super slow-mo and even a higher than a 720p resolution the sony XZ 2 is doing that so for them to make a big big deal about that I didn't really care but yeah the photo phone the photography and it makes a difference I just think that look every year it's almost like the newest phone is the next great photo phone but at the end of the day all these phones are ridiculous when it comes to photos they are like no matter what whether you're an iPhone user you know whether you're a pixel user or asinine user LGB 30 those those are the cream of the crop when it comes to cameras yeah and the pixel everyone loves the pixel to I mean looking at these like side-by-side comparisons here's the Samsung Galaxy S 9i phone X like they all look pretty similar you know it's kind of hard to tell him apart now and a lot of times even just like color temperature and saturation can be a personal preference and guess what if you are a real photographer you're gonna run this stuff and process this through apps you're not gonna just take it directly from your camera lens yeah you're gonna do things to it so it's interesting either way the camera our phones have now become I think the number one feature that our phones are starting to get defined by is a ecosystem but people don't really talk about that but the actual hardware feature people care about the most is probably either camera or speed and speed is kind of more invisible and not as you can't really really tell us much if you unless you run some benchmark at least with photos the proof is kind of in the pudding and based on what you like and what you see that will give you the results so you know you got people that will fight about what camera is the best on the phone yeah but right now DxO mark says the galaxy s 9 plus dual lens camera is the best um but here's the story of the week that made me laugh Consumer Reports also released their best smartphone camera rankings I don't know if you heard about this story this one was just ridiculous so consumer reports we know a mainstream brand does their own tech reviews they put out their top 10 list of best smartphone cameras right their top 10 list and you can scroll down on their beach but I'm gonna read them and I'm gonna see what you guys think about this at number 10 the galaxy s 8 active and number 9 the iPhone 7 plus that number 8 the Galaxy Note 8 and number 6 the galaxy s 8 and number 5 the iPhone 6s plus number 4 oh sorry sorry I skipped a number number six the iPhone 6s plus number five the iPhone 7 then we have the S eight plus and then we have the iPhone eight plus and then the iPhone eight and the iPhone ten now they're in Mercer I know well the iPhone the iPhone ten is number one bottom line an iPhone eight is I should probably should've just done the top three but no there's no words like the pluses is is less than the eight no well there's the iPhone eight plus and a galaxy s eight plus is that where I was just thinking like the edge is in the eighth plus camera oh yeah yeah iPhone 80 you would think so but again this is this is Consumer Reports ranking now they don't have the S sign on this but the biggest omission like I can't believe this happened there's not a single pixel to phone on this list in the top ten oh that's right yeah the pixel two was considered like they realized one last year they rated the iPhone 6s number six overall the pixel two isn't even on their freaking list hmm that's a huge not only is it a huge omission that that that destroys credibility right there it shows that the list is flawed for sure cuz the pixel two is on the top honestly the original pixel was better than the 6s arguably better than the sevens and that's not even on that list - either way I've Apple users got to love that list cuz iPhones came in the top three so I just wanted to make that point that Consumer Reports you better update that list and say we made a mistake and never or didn't even know that pixel phones existed it's brutal but iPhone 10 top ranked camera for Consumer Reports iPhone 10 number two in the DxO mark or sorry number three in TXO mark okay don't look at that crowd I just closed my link iPhone 10 number sorry iPhone 10 is number three in DxO marks rankings we have s 9 plus pixel two and then iPhone 10 for the top three cameras got it all right double scammin one of those someone's scam and that's for sure all right let's take a little breather everybody because we have a word from our sponsor that keeps us going support for today's show comes to us from hellofresh oh you know

gonna be kind of like a mixed bag of things coming up but we were gonna cover them all because there's a lot of great stuff that came out of the Apple news cycle KJ's Securities analyst Ming Chi quo put out a new report that Apple although we know about the new air pods we talked about them last week Apple is developing a high-end over ear headphone launch in late 2018 at the earliest it would be their own brand high-end over ear headphones with an all-new design the goal here is to make them as convenient as the air pods but obviously with over ear better sound quality but this would also compete directly with their beats line what is interesting here is the beats has always been kind of appealed to like a younger crowd you know bass hip-hop like current pop stuff but you know the Apple could just cuz Apple slaps up their logo on it makes it a little kind of maybe appeal to like a higher-end listener not as much heavy bass like someone who wants more classical music and rock basically maybe a little older mature audience you throw that Apple logo on it and that audience typically with Apple spends a lot of money because they old and they have money yeah like that's not that bad of an idea it's not it's not I see I see a lot of people cruising around with those big-ass headphones on like I'm the bus whatever yeah Jim I can't do it I don't I don't want something huge on my head the Jim I never get that yeah the Jim with a big over the ears like what are you doing man it's gross because you're sweating on your headphones man that's disgusting but uh you know oh don't do that don't do it but you know what's encouraging I will say about Apple doing over the ear headphones after what they did with the home pod sound wise I think you know I would not underestimate their over the ear headphones I don't like right they the help on sounds awesome especially when you got Jimmy Iovine and dr. Dre like approving all the sound quality of stuff yeah you know you can't lose with that right now they they have they have a couple um the two that they kind of really have to compete with really is obviously the bose qc25 two twos and then the Sony MDX twos which are amazing don't even have I think I'm not even trying to yeah sorry not not the MDX my brain is all over it's just basically the 1000x em twos from Sony those are amazing headphones with like noise cancellation and them like you have like touch sensor controls oh nice well what's crazy about him is if you let's say you and I are at the office if you cup your hand over the ear it turns off the audio inside and let you listen to someone outside oh wow that's pretty cool it has bikes in front of it mics inside of them that's name I could use that 1000 MX news man I'm telling you they're pretty sick okay so anyways Apple getting to the over the ear headphone business pretty cool just a little follow up also on the home pod according to data shared by the NPD group the home pod had the most pre-orders out of any other smart speaker in the u.s. except the Amazon echo dot that had already established in a market and was sold for $49 so the whole pod beat out all smart speakers in their very first day of pre-orders meaning if you compare that to any other pre-orders for any other smart speakers yeah like what other smart speakers are under pre-order right now that's what I'm not not right now though I'm just saying in like at Google home when it was pre-ordered Google home dot when it was pre-ordered Amazon echo + echo show echo dot the home pod beat out all other smart speaker first-day pre-orders except the Amazon echo dot again that's that's the strength of the brand of the Apple brand and also just good marketing like hey we got this thing coming out its new it sounds great that that's that's huge you know cuz I guess when the echo came out and the other smart speakers like we didn't really know what to expect so we're kind of like what what it was what is this thing maybe I'll get it maybe I won't I think I bought my first one like after it had been out for maybe a year or something - I was exactly the same as you yeah so that's interesting so everyone knows that's done that's smart by Apple you know they're like let everyone else get in this game that's what they do put our thing out and then it's gonna like you know people are gonna want it and they're gonna pre-order it more than others so that's interesting well I you know I'm sorry to people that listen to the show in believe that we should buy every single piece of Apple technology that they make ever but I did return I actually returned my home pod last weekend oh you did I returned it because I wasn't using up look I actually I get who it's perfect for if you're an Apple music guy and you're an Apple ecosystem guy or gal or girl and you just want to listen Apple music it's actually super convenient and it's nice but beyond that I didn't do it do anything else with it and yeah I just people say why not your smart home well it doesn't work with my nest thermostat it doesn't work with my Logitech Harmony TVs home theater setup which are two major components of my apartment and it's and it honestly isn't smart enough to do a lot of the skills and things that I'm used to so I returned it and I'm like you know I'll come back and visit it if it gets better the sound I do like a lot even though you know people different sound whether you like bass bait heavier attracts or not people sound different on different speakers breweries briefs but I returned it and so if it gets better then I'll revisit it but right now the home pod is not in my possession that must've been nice to get that for hunting for honey that's hard to part with man it sucks so you know some people were like mad at me I'm like I'm telling you to return it like there's plain people that are happy with this and love it I think you should love it it just wasn't for me like that's all comes down to yeah like hater someone's like hater I'm like okay sorry that my purchases affect your your emotions like go outside ah that's funny man all right cool new stories coming up around the Apple watch I'm a Big Apple watch series 3 lover I've said this from day one once series 3 came out and watch OS 4 came out this was the Smart Watch to get people have criticized me like oh over sone you're jumping onboard with the series 3 oh my dude it wasn't good enough you were bored with the one man drawer because I wanted to see if anything would change and it didn't really change that much I would wear it without charging it cuz I just liked how it looked yeah I saw you many times wearing it and it wasn't turned on but yeah you're you were way there from the 1 and then the 3 came out and then they made some significant changes so now the 3 is hot 3 is the 3 in my mind is the hotness anyways this data backs it up according to a report from IDC they estimate that Apple watch shipments totaled 8 million units worldwide the last quarter so that would be from if I if I'm reading this yeah correctly the fourth quarter so that would be from October to December now if you compare that to other competitors the research firm says it's 1 in every 5 wearables shipped last quarter was an Apple watch thanks to the strength of the series 3 in comparison Fitbit came in at number 2 with the reported sales of 5.4 million wearables so that's respectable that's a nice big chunk Xiaomi shipped 4.9 millions then you go down Garmin Huawei and others but Apple came in at number one in the Smart Watch category for the fourth quarter of last year and again they had a killer product a killer Prada in the series 3 watch came out September I think it was around the 22nd of last year so right out of the gates people were getting that bad boy so I went to Kohl's to get like a new Casio watch I was just trying to buy a cheap watch that tells me a date I walked by that they had Apple watches and Kohl's that was tempted man I went looked I was like let me look at this price little too expensive but you know they're right what price would you get an Apple watch it have to be like I don't know maybe like 150 to 150 to honey yeah yeah right so you don't need this series three per se because I actually think watch OS four works pretty well know what series two but I think Apple recently put out some refurbished Apple watches on their site I don't know what the two is but I know that the series 3 which is normally like 349 I think is down to 300 so that would help me the series 2 refurbished is probably like 200 220 yeah if I had to guess I mean you can you can surf right now and I'll just do the show and then you can not listen to me but it's all good I got it I got a Casio for 50 bucks rock that boom someone the chat st. 200 someone else is saying don't buy one okay I'll take Dante hey literally like 20 ease after it just said don't buy one all right um here's a cool thing the biggest thing that I enjoy about the Apple watch Series 3 is after they released it there were tons of new improvements meaning like I can listen to streaming radio stations on this there's finally like a legitimate podcast app that doesn't require you to sync it with your phone which I love it's called is it outcast now my brain is farting I should check that out I did a whole video on it it's not overcast I think it's outcasts anyways um just great improvements across the board now Apple watch Series three contract skiing and snowboarding activity this has been updated in partnership with developers it'll be able to use the accelerometer the built-in GPS and the altimeter that is in the Apple watch series three there's also these custom workout api's but there's apps that have now brought out support specifically snow with two W Sano we call likes Noah Noah snow snow what snow squad Alpine app so all you ski bunnies get out there your Apple watch now supports skiing and snowboarding that's pretty sick I do like to track your vertical feet I think that is fun you know to see how much vertical feet you've snowboarded speed is awesome dude you could tell how fast you're going yeah number of runs average maximum speed time spent calories burn I mean this is fun dirty stuff I'm not saying this is a reasonably get the app watch I'm just saying the Apple watch keeps on getting better throughout this entire year ever since they released it I'm just like thoroughly impressed that is fun I would love to play with that stuff man because they do track that at some Ski Areas they track your vertical feet and then you win prizes based on how much vertical feet you snowboard in a season or something you know which is really cool so if you could you do that with your Apple watch that would be even cooler very nice very nice also on report that recently came out this has to do with a new patent charging case for the Apple watch and electronically enhanced bands we know there's like this kind of additional data connection port on the Apple watch body that everyone is believed to either potentially be use in the future for either rechargeable watchbands or even some health medical type devices this patent basically backs us up a newly published Apple patent application it hasn't been granted yet but it has been applied for instant the possibility of a charging case for the watch that could also hold spare bands it kind of looks like a place where you put a couple bands and then put the body of the watch separately from each other almost more like a travel case nice but the idea and the thinking is out there yeah having a good little watch case is fun man other quick things I'm just gonna kind of ramble through these really quickly um iPhone wait times for battery replacements this is a big issue because we know how many of you have six 6s and seven wait times for battery replacements on the iPhone have now jumped up from 2.7 weeks to 4.5 weeks and so the process of this is right you go to a store or you make an appointment you say I need to get a replacement and then they order this part from Apple it then gets delivered and then they'll do a swap they'll do a replacement for you but right now we're timeout a wait time of about four and a half weeks basically a month that's a long time it's probably pretty frustrating yeah I guess if you're not like you know too worried about it it won't be a big deal but that is a long time to wait for a new battery oh yeah oh yeah I I am gonna do this everyone I know I threaten it a couple weeks ago but I am gonna do this what are you gonna do I'm gonna get my battery replaced on my iPhone 6s cuz it is definitely struggling man it is slow I've got a 6s that I've just been bouncing around town like a different city so much I need to replace it so I can resell it on eBay yeah yeah yeah so maybe we should both go through this process and then compare notes on how it went I think so I mean we do it we do a show about Apple I think a my probably my I'll make that a priority other two Nuggets the air power mat according to reports and rumblings may be coming out in March we've also heard rumblings about we talked about last week about iPads possibly coming in March I don't think those two things unless it's a new iPad pro with a new pencil and a new OS that gives it true new functionality that's the only reason why I think we would see a March event if we get a legit new iPad pro and an air power mat across the board and really just all new iPad models across the board if not I think these will be the rumbling is that it'll be a nine point seven inch iPad up refresh and even if this Power Mac comes out they're not gonna do an event for us so that would just be kind of a general lease but we'll see March is a whole month and they've historically done events I think the past two or three years so we'll see if we get one or not but that could be coming and then just really to finally wrap up this before we get to our phone calls you gotta say nothing but love Steve Jobs would have celebrated his birthday on February the 24th his 63rd birthday if he was here 63 man he was so young so sad dude it's sad for him his family and for us for the world I got a so anyways are you allowed to play this or was that we're not allowed to sing it you know what I mean like I think open domain I mean it's just happy birthday right did they stop us stop you from singing it in a restaurant for a certain time cuz you would have to like pay or not there's like for a limited time they're like oh you can't sing this in a restaurant to customers yeah cuz I noticed every restaurant does like a different thing to go I mean had to do with like performance rights more than anything else okay well I will stop that no no I'm not going to stop I mean if that's the end of our show like if it's because the Happy Birthday song I'll be like yellow jobs happy birthday come on all right yeah this is heartless heartless alright should we get to the phone calls yeah let's do the phone calls my number everybody that is watching or listening to show you can be a part of this show we love it we just love how active you guys and gals are call us at what is going on beach in town this is Stephen out in Austin I called a while back to let you guys know you'd asked if the iPad Mini was dead and I kind of made some comments about it in education I will go ahead and tell you guys right now that to us for the price the iPad Mini 4 is not going to be nearly as cost-effective now is the new iPad that came out last year's the regular 32gig 9 point what a French not even a pro so we are buying those in mass quantities a thousand of time and that's kind of the direction we're going and we're seeing a lot of other school districts in Texas do the same thing just giving you my input you guys have a great day thanks and you do a good job on nice yeah man I love that perspective like someone who's on the ground and how their biz how education is doing that that makes total sense to me makes total sense a thousand a day to a thousand orders at a time that's a lot okay let's go to the next call here we go hi Brian hi Steven this is Stuart from the UK I'm calling with a bad apple I use the camera connection kit with my iPad an iPhone and actually the old one the the 30-pin version and if you use it with a lightning adapter it works just fine or it did until about a week ago the recent iOS 11 update changed it so you can now long no longer use that interface to you to upload photos to your device from your SD card I contacted Apple and their support told me to go to their store and surprise surprise when I got to the store they told me that they could sell me two replacement adapters for nearly 70 pounds oh it's I thought you guys would like to know because I told them there was no way I was going to do that and check the software log and it wasn't listed as I changed the software so there's no way of avoiding this Luke that they put put in if you upgrade you'll no longer be able to use this old device so I stuck to my guns and eventually they give me two new adapters for free so I'd let everybody know this could be a new kind of dongle Gate bad Apple for you love the show keep up the good work bye for now thank you for that that calls really helpful I feel like he he might even tweeted me because I remember seeing something similar like this and that's awesome to let the community know but I do have a few words for all of us moving forward of how we should think about this Beechum let's get ready to dog I'll stop I could hold it longer but I'm gonna stop I'm gonna be nice to your ear so I'm good gates back do you want me to try let's get ready to duck no one's watching or listening right now anyways no one cares don't care something on periscope right now 79 people just decided to sign out completely oh yeah we lost 14 on YouTube also all right here we go next call hey guys david from dirty jersey maybe you guys can help me figure something out I'm trying to watch some shows on itunes purchase the whole season and unlike Netflix when you get to the end of an episode you've got to basically stop it go back into the menu select the next episode start the next episode as opposed to Netflix you can have that nice feature that autoplay feature where it skips all the the upcoming schemes and everything like that something basic like that for iTunes you think would be a given but I don't see anything in the system that allows you to do that any idea how to turn that on is it even an option let me know thanks a lot bye I don't even honestly I don't even know if that's an option um I just want to say that aundrea tree on e says that he's still here list in the show okay but no you know the thing is that's super frustrating didn't you say Beach said they also do it in Amazon Prime yeah there's an option in the Amazon Prime you could just it'll just open flame season so you don't have to like get up or you use a remote or do anything it just will play which is phantom on it I don't know if it's in the options where you know you can pull on the Apple TV remote you can swipe down and where the subtitles and captions option is so but I don't think it's there so that's a big miss and I know especially when I'm watching a show like this is us and I'm all it up in my feelings and I want to see the next episode like I want it to display easy in the wipe my tears away have you seen this is us - no but you hurt some deep-rooted issues that everyone has it's crazy yeah I mean wonder my kids are watching like paw Patrol or something I don't have to get up and start every episode I'll just hit play and let it watch okay so I'm timeout this is us and your timeout paw patrol paw patrols on a roll man just cute like their song that's their theme yeah paw Patrol is on a roll and then they go and do whatever they're gonna do so I okay so let's continue we got a couple more calls to get through and they're good ones here we go hey this is Brian from New Orleans I went to throw a bad apple at apples marketing team there's an AT&T commercial that shows these beautiful photos taken with the iPhone 8 or iPhone 10 the portrait mode mano stage lighting I don't know about y'all but my pictures look absolutely nothing like that not even close so I'm not sure if they took that was on iPhone 10 they also did obviously there's lots of photoshop work on it afterwards not sure if I'm using it wrong just wanted to know y'all experience I'm not sure if you've seen the commercials in a teensy commercial talking about the portrait mode but I know it's in beta my pictures look absolutely nothing like it though Thanks okay so this guy it's so funny because I never tried this out and I was just like okay I'm just gonna try the selfie camera stuff out just to see what happens and like I totally agree like it doesn't even look nearly as refined look here here here's one good like I mean I was trying to be all tough this is from like I don't know I can't remember I think it was before we're doing but even the black-and-white one I'm like dude it's like way grainy or it just doesn't look as dope I was like I don't know about that man I don't know I'm trying to find that picture that video on YouTube but I can't find the AT&T commercial you know what in a way actually this one does look pretty good you have the Millennial pose were the Millennial because it's me not because it's me but I was like all right that one's kind of interest you do weighted Millennial pose and Millennials don't smile they just this is how they take pictures they just know there's that girl did this the girl the girls don't smile no more on pictures I'm like dude why are you smiling my face look fat I'm like are you serious I've legitimately heard I'm like what Wow cool like you're no fun if you don't smile get out of here so you ugly okay we got a couple more calls there we go and it's helped yeah I'm actually ugly so that's different right hi I'm Brenda from Chicago and love the show another two I'll talk about Apple being the most innovative company and to me personally Apple has never been innovative you know they've always been like second or third to a ballgame and they just make whatever they're using better so French was like there were kind of smartphones before the iPhone but then they came out with a better and best iPhone there were chapters before the iPad but they came out with a better and best camera so it's always like their dress you know always evolutionary they're always taking like the next step of other people's working surface I don't know if they're what you all think thanks a lot yeah my friend that has been their mo I think what is different is when they've come late to the party they've actually brought something really innovative and compelling to at least show that they've learned from their competitors and they want to take it up that next step but we have not seen that specifically in a while I will give the air pods credit they're not the next time you be just like dude I'm so I'm like staring at him I'm looking at them like lovingly I'm looking at the his frickin team air pot dude freaking team air pods so I think the convenience of how they connect made them really special do you a beach do you still don't get once a while you get like a hit or a blip while you're listening yeah there's there's playscape we're loving like dead spots like in the city like there's one corner when I wash the street every day like goes out so it's like some dead spots here and there but it's weird so you work the corner every day yeah I've crossed the corner to go the bus and then I know that they're gonna go out and they do like it's like oh here's the spot where must be like a bunch of Bluetooth Bluetooth waves traveling through that corner or something so you work the corner everyday I work the corner I I show off my goods come on oh yeah first Street or no Fremont Street Folsom hit me up I'm there every day about five o'clock 5:15 but yeah I think the home pot is a really poor example of Apple actually changing the game like a speaker that sounds great is great but that wasn't enough to me that changed the game in any way shape or form no no no but I remember I went the first time I touched an iPhone he was magical it was dude game changer even the iPad man even the iPad yeah every woman I remember I was there when they announced it remember this is one Apple I used to invite me to keynotes and when I saw it on stage I'm like oh this is awesome but you even could tell people like it's just a big you know big iPad iPhone and then when you touch it you're like dude this is awesome this is freaking awesome yeah definitely something magical about him yeah but sure now we got one more call right kind of annoying happened with anybody else dude the detail that we need to emphasize he says I keep walking into them not I walked into it once I keep walking into them I'm sorry I have I have walked into a glass panel thing before and it hurts so uh I apologize also just just to you know because you and your car and I have the special relationship hey Siri set a reminder to listen to the Apple byte extra crunchy every Thursday night you're welcome I wouldn't that'll work that would be cool if you kill us back and let us know it works out my phone just now oh really nice he's gonna be like different why'd you do that to me I'm gonna play this one last one that's for Brian real quick okay hey Brent oh you look like my friend Matthew you'd like all its exactly the same I don't know if you're a lady it's pretty cool also I like your Apple shows I have iPhone se but its batteries dying everyday but I'm gonna get a iPhone 8 plus 2 what else I can get an eternal fight sweet his iPhone se battery is already dying but because that's the old phone I think the question that he nice answer for himself is maybe I am Matthew I'll stop but trying to find my evil laughs out of fact maybe maybe I am at you bro maybe your maybe your best friend moonlights and does Internet videos whenever you don't see him it could be possible it could be possible all right everybody Beach thanks for another great show as usual my man no prob all right so just remember oh sorry what are you gonna say to me natok I
