Kent Brockman is that you and no he's probably a little too yellow for me people bitch about the stupidest things tell me about it dude Jaime Jaime I understand then what I don't understand is why your name is Victoria Vieira you can't speak Spanish that's right it's that time of the week I am hi Natalie better this is pocket now and this is our pocket now daily recap for last week so when Monday asked you how important our notification LEDs for you as the rumors are that Apple is getting a glowing logo in the back of the iphone 6 with the purpose of it being a notification LED we have 754 comments out of which Phil culper says notification LEDs are so 2006 my pebble smartwatch is all I need for notifications and with the iWatch coming soon under the vacation LED would be pointless that is the new trend that is what's happening but smartwatches aren't really taking off so let's wait and see how that goes and chat on Coleman says notification logo on the back of a phone how convenient sarcasm I still have to do an extra step turning the phone back around to look at the screen and you have a good point of accessibility of the iphone you can actually turn on the flash the servers in a notification LED you can do that with galaxy phones as well so it's not something that doesn't exist that not something that hasn't existed and I don't see the point in it I agree with you then Steve D says iphone fanboys say notification light is a gimmick on Android phones and now they will love it you know that all depends Apple has done an amazing job with notification LEDs on their previous macbook lineup where you wouldn't even see where the LED was and it would shine for the battery indicator which was really cool and also the other notification LED that the company had for the macbook so if they would pull that often find but having it on the apple logo is pointless then on Tuesday I asked you if you were planning to buy an iphone 6 this year as Apple's preparing for tremendous demand from the phone they're asking for staggering number of units from its suppliers we have 943 comments a lot of comments this week thanks a lot guys starting with one of the commenters that says it will be impossible to buy an iphone 6 here in Brazil the 5s costs 1200 bucks and six will cost as much as a house yes that is actually true in every country outside the United States and outside of your buying an iphone is extremely expensive so yeah a lot of the struggle with that out here but that being said that's not the reality for everybody so I do know that there is a market that won't be so happy about it but you know the way this works the mr. chaotic so three says I'm planning to get one in each of the iphone sizes and men you've got a lot of cash dude at another commoner says I've got the HTC One m8 and I'm very impressed I have zero interest in the iphone this is a very tough year for Apple there are a lot of really great bones out there the one inmate the LG g3 the gs5 yeah why not so the Xperia z3 is one of the ones that we're waiting for the most so it's really tough for Apple to compete this year hopefully they can Wow everybody and if so then fine but a lot of people are like this they're not even considering it anymore then Wednesday asked you what do you think iPads are selling less unless the news were that Apple squirrel results are in and the iphone is selling more but the iPad has been selling less for the past couple of quarters we have 643 comments out of which David lawmen welcome back to the pocket now daily recap ipad sales are down because everybody's got one that is a tremendous point a lot of people have noticed the difference between the ipad air and the iPad 4 is really almost nothing but design so what is the point on upgrading if it's only a lighter product that can do the same things the JPC audience says ipad sales are down to better android tablet options than in the past especially Sam Singh and their endless options and you are actually wrong there or I'm going to defer with your comment and the reason why is because tablet sales are stagnant everywhere not just on iPads everybody's having trouble selling tablets mainly because they already bought a tablet and they haven't found the justification for spending so much money for a product that's not really a computer then mr. mau5 says face it the ipad is an iphone with a bigger screen and everything is the same so why buy something you already have even the ipod touch 5th generation is like an iPhone Apple needs to bring more feature specific devices this is probably the best comment of the week it's long by specifically because of that because yes the prom with tablet says this is just the bigger iPhone this is just a bigger smartphone and a lot of people are not willing to pay so much money for a tablet when they need extra functionality why not just by a computer instead tablets were supposed to solve that but they haven't really solved it and a lot of people have realized that and that's probably the reason why a lot of people are just staying with what they have that on Thursday I asked you if you think it's smart for apple to launch its iPhone separately this year as the rumors are this is part of the company's strategy as number one they can't actually have the bigger iPhone ready and number two apparently they want to launch it with the iWatch in December and we have 267 comments out of which wootton says one single iphone is enough for a year I'd hate to have to change every six months you don't have to change every six months but you do have a point it's really troublesome to have something cooler out there than what you bought two months earlier then Mike will be welcomed back to the comments again they should release both at the same time like you said I don't want to have a new iphone be outdated six months after i get it and yes we were talking about six months cycles in the video and six months cycles are cool for certain products but Sony's not really having a good time revamping the z1 z2 z3 six months after the other they haven't really found the success they're looking for because people don't want to feel that their products are obsolete and so you hope that from buying because now does III SL you're going to wait for the z4 coming out in January lives you a lot of problems then another commoner says one phone a year is the best cycle a lot of people defer that especially samsung but you know it does work one phony here is more than enough from every category I think that's the way it should be that's my opinion then I'm Friday ask you what do you think about the Microsoft parody video of the surface pro 3 and one note as the company released this sort of add on YouTube that is probably one of the most ridiculous videos I've ever seen we have 269 comments out of which mr. joe says my ex popped out when i watch the ad lord have mercy on windows and yes lord have mercy on Microsoft and have mercy and you as well okay let me say a lot of those says I love Microsoft Microsoft products Windows Windows Phone etc but this is utterly disgusting and you know Microsoft has had some very good ads like the really campaign but it completely deterred from the purpose of selling a phone so it's like if their ad agency doesn't really get it sometimes I don't understand then the sting carmel says this is not an ad made by an ad agency it was a fun project made by the OneNote team hence why there doesn't look like they're professionals they aren't they are engineers having fun don't be jerks we are not Church number one number two the video production requires a professional crew so even if they were having fun there was production involved 12 if you are going to be showing this on youtube to the whole world you better make sure that what you're doing is good it's like us doing a crappy video and expecting you guys to like it so the problem really is whether it was made by an ad agency or not does it give you the right message to buy a product and the problem is the video didn't it was actually marking its own products so the biggest problem is even if this wasn't an ad that aired in the Super Bowl it's really not something that makes you want to buy their products and that's really the reason why if it's not that cool and why publish it thats it for our pocket now daily recap thank you very much for watching a couple of tips of you want your comments to be featured number one keep them short number to stick to the point
