1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro. 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 2: Morning, Rich, Good morning to you. Amy. 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so just like Grandma used to make a knitted 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: iPhone cover, isn't that sweet? 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it didn't cost this much. So this is 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: called the iPhone pocket. It looks like a sock with 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: an opening in the middle. You can wear it over 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: your shoulder, you can tie it, you can sling it whatever. 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: It's stretchy. It's one hundred and fifty to two hundred 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 2: and thirty dollars for a sock that holds your iPhone. 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: And it really I just I just brought it up it. Yeah, 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 3: it just looks like a sack. 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: That's crazy. It actually reminds me of back in the day, 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: they used to have these little socks for your It's funny, okay, 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: two things. They used to have a sock for your 17 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: iPod or maybe it was your I think it was 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: the iPod back in the day, which I had. There 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: were these colorful little socks. They were great because you 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: could just stash your iPod in there. I still carry, 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: you know, I'm always carrying a bunch of phones that 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: I'm testing. I actually use socks to carry those phones 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: because if you put them next to each other, they 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: will scratch the camera will scratch the screen of the 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: other device if you stack them on top. So I've 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: long used socks. But guess what. The socks that I 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: use are like free. I get them from like companies 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: that just you know, they give out like socks, and 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh cool, I can use this. So this 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: is one hundred and fifty dollars for the short strap, 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: two hundred thirty dollars for the long strap. They launch 32 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: on Friday at Apple stores, and Apple says it's a 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: beautiful new way to carry your iPhone, your AirPods, and 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: your everyday items. Perfect for the holiday gift season. You know, look, 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: this is America. We've run out of things to buy. 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: That's the bottom line here. 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: I just would like to tell anybody who is buying 38 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: me a Christmas present, I would not. 39 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: Like this for Christmas. 40 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: What I know, Will's bombed he was going to get 41 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: it from me. 42 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting because, like I do think. 43 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: That we need to figure out a way to carry 44 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: our iPhones that's practical. 45 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: Like when I travel to Europe every back pocket. 46 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Well, but if you don't have pockets, if you're wearing 47 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: a skirt, you you're not wearing a skirt, but if 48 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: you're wearing a skirt or something like that. And in 49 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: Europe almost everybody had their phones on like strings or like. 50 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: A la those already, yes, and you can get those already, 51 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: and they're much cheaper and an Apple has that too. 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: But here's the deal. So if you want, I mean, 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: maybe this is the perfect solution because people do need 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: a way to carry their phone. And you know yet, 55 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: you're right, I have a back pocket. I would also say, 56 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: when I'm traveling, the back pocket is tricky because someone 57 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: can easily take your phone out of your back pocket 58 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: versus something like this. But again, and by the way, 59 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to try to pronounce that it's a 60 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: Miyaka Miyaki from the Japanese fashion house. 61 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think you did a lovely job. I mean, 62 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: they come in pretty colors. 63 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, that's a pretty big it's a pretty big. 64 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: It's it's designer, so that's why. 65 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: And it's not like the cases that you have where 66 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: you can still use the phone. It's literally stuck down 67 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: in a sock. You have to pull it out. Yes, 68 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: it interesting, all right. 69 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the first person having this 70 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: in real life. 71 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: Hey, you know we're going to see them. We are 72 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 3: in la. 73 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: Amazon's got a new auto by feature, So tell us 74 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: about this one, okay, which that's surface. 75 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 3: It sounds dangerous. 76 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: It is very dangerous, but also very cool because you're 77 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: basically naming your own price for items. So Amazon basically 78 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: quietly rolled this out. It's called auto Buy. It's for 79 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: Prime members. You have to use Rufus, which is their 80 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: AI assistant on the app. Apparently alexaplus will do the 81 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: same thing. I've only tested the app, but basically, when 82 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: you're on a product, you tap that little rufous icon 83 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: and you say buy this when the price drops below 84 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: one hundred dollars or when it's twenty percent off, and 85 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: literally Rufus the AI will watch the prices every half 86 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: an hour and check, and then it will just buy 87 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 2: it for you if the price drops to what you want. 88 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: So it's almost like Priceline back in the day, except 89 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: with anything on Amazon. And so I of course set 90 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of things. I'm like, cool, if this 91 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: thing drops below twenty dollars. I'll buy it, but I 92 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: don't have to watch it anymore. So this is available 93 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: if you want to see my video on it. By 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: the way, I did it on Instagram at ridgeon Tech 95 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: because it's kind of tough to understand. But yes, Amazon 96 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: can just buy stuff for you. Now. 97 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: That could be again, either very fun on Black Friday, 98 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: or you might get yourself a nice little five thousand 99 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: dollars credit card bill. 100 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might just forget about all the You know, 101 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: you could have two hundred active requests at any time, 102 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: and I've already forgotten did I set that up?
