Plus of course, your pressing tech questions. 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.160 What's going on? I'm Rich Damiro. This is Rich on Tech, 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.200 the podcast where I talk about this stuff I think 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.120 you should know about happening in the tech world. Plus 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.879 I answer your tech questions. Joining me as always is 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.360 producer Megan. Producer Megan, Welcome to the show. 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:37.320 Hello, how are you? 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.159 I am good. You know this week was a big one. Yeah, 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.159 because it was WWDC Worldwide Developers Conference from Apple, and 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.880 I went up there on Monday. It is very quick 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.640 trip when up there Monday morning, came back Monday night. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.920 I would have loved to stay all week, but with 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.160 our broadcast schedule that's kind of tough. But it's just 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:57.800 to me, it's like being a kid in a candy 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.040 store because Apple announces all stuff that's gonna happen with 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.760 all their products, and at this point they have so 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.399 many that I use I mean the iPhone, the Mac computer, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.959 the Apple watch Apple TV. I don't really use but 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.160 iPad I don't really use that either, Okay, but they 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.160 made a lot of They announced a lot of new 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.040 features that are really cool. The biggest thing, and I've 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.880 never seen a reaction like this in my life, well 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.880 I have, but this was a big one. They announced 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.720 that iTunes is going away. So I'm gonna break that 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.240 down for you because I've gotten so many emails, so 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.000 many questions on my Facebook. I mean, I'm talking when 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:36.960 KTLA did it. So what happened was to give you 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.840 a little bit of a backstory. The story broke on 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.080 like Friday afternoon, I believe, and it was bloomberg. Someone 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800 wrote about you know, iTunes was probably gonna go away, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.680 and next thing, you know, what happens. It gets picked 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.800 up everywhere and of course mixed into a million different 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.280 like playing a game of telephone. Right, iTunes is dead 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.920 bloom blah blah blah boom, And so next thing you know, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.920 people are going nuts. What happens to all my music? 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.000 What happens to all my this? That thing? And so 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.520 here I am to break it down because Apple is 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.800 not very happy about how this has been portrayed, because 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.560 it was confusing, Right, iTunes means a lot of different things. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.080 It means iTunes the software, but it also means iTunes 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.920 the store, right, and the iTunes store. Let's be clear, 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.000 is not going away. iTunes software is being split into 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.959 three different pieces, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV, 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.920 and almost all of the functions that you're used to 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.640 will be inside those three different apps. Now, when it 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.480 comes to synking your phone, that will be handled by 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.600 Finder on the Mac. Are you familiar with Finder? Yes, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.600 It's like, well, I don't even know how you describe it. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.040 It's like the. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.959 The basic like the window on Window. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.000 Like, yeah, I guess Windows is Windows is not a 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:50.760 good way to describe it. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.160 Can also search on Finder. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.560 It's just like it's Finder. It's like where everything happens, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.240 all your files live. Right. So that now when you 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.520 put your plug in your iPhone, which, by the way, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:00.960 one was last time you plug your I phone into 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:01.400 your computer. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:02.680 It's been a long time. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.320 Yeah, you never, I mean you do it all through 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.839 i Cloud now. So, but there are still a lot 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.000 of people, especially in our audience, that still do things 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.239 kind of an older way, right, and that is purchasing music. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.359 So again, let me just go through some of the things. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.640 Number one, the music that you have, it's all gonna 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.880 be there. It's going to be in the Apple Music app, okay. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.440 And that is music that you've imported, which means you 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.639 rip CDs it'll still be there, or music that you purchased, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.200 the playlists that you created will all still be there again. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.400 They'll move to the Apple Music app. They will not 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.480 be in iTunes, They'll be in Apple Music. You have 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.400 an iTunes gift card that will still work, that will 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.120 still work on all the different platforms. That's not going away. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.440 The iTunes store is not going away. iTunes credits not 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.600 going away. iTunes subscriptions you subscribe to something through iTunes 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:53.400 not going away. The backup, the restore, the sinking, all 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.440 that stuff is moving to Finder. Like I mentioned, movies 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.760 and TV shows that you rented or purchased will now 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.080 be in the Apple TV app. And this is really 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.320 confusing because Apple has Apple TV, then they have the 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.640 Apple TV app, which I find will be really weird 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.839 because are you talking about Apple TV, Are you talking 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.960 about the you know that the TV app, the little 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.080 app that's on your iPhone and on your Apple TV. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:14.800 It's so weird. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.960 Which I never use. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.320 Well, they want you to use it more. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.920 What about Apple TV plus, that's just going to be there, That's. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.360 Going to be inside the Apple TV app. Got it, Okay, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.760 So that's there. Now here's one thing that is changing, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.760 it seems. It seems according to this support document that 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.040 Apple put out that you will no longer be able 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.800 to purchase or rent movies and TV shows through iTunes 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.440 the iTunes store on your Mac. You will now have 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.120 to use the Apple TV app for Mac. So whatever it. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:45.440 Basically you can still rent. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.200 It makes sense. 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.000 If you're looking for stuff to watch, you go to 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.080 the TV app, right. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.200 I always thought iTunes was like too much, too much 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.159 going on. You have just switched to like these different 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.240 toggles on the top to get to movies, to get 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:56.760 to music. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:57.760 Like absolutely, this. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.520 Actually is so much better and so much simpler for everyone. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.640 I agree one hundred percent. Audiobooks will be in iTunes. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.800 So what I'm saying, Megan, in also many words, is 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.200 that nothing's really changing, it's just the places you go 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.760 to access stuff. So again, now here's the one caveat 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.760 if you're on a Windows computer right now, iTunes is 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.680 staying the same, So they're not going to change it. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.039 They're not splitting it up as of right now. Who 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:23.960 knows what's going to happen in the future, but right now, 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.040 if you're on Mac, yes, you're gonna have three new 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.040 apps when Catalina, the new Mac operating system, comes out 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.720 in September. Until then, everything's gonna be the same. And 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.120 then once things change, they'll still sort of be the same. 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.680 They'll just be doing things in different places. Now. One 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.320 thing that Apple did not really mention that I think 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.120 is the best about all this is that you will 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.200 now be able to plug in your iPhone. And I 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.960 mentioned I don't really plug in my iPhone, but I 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.320 might do this now. It will kind of act act. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.680 Let me say that, right when you plug in your 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.960 iPhone on your computer, it will pretty much act as 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.960 a flash drive, so you can store documents on it. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.039 You know, you have this iPhone with a whole bunch 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.320 of storage on it. A lot of my storage on 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.400 my phone is not used. If I can throw some 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.440 files on there and just use it as a flash drive, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.080 that's kind of cool. So you'll be able to drag 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.000 and drop anything basically onto your iPhone, right cool. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.039 One question about Catalina. 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.800 Sure. Will we have great island. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.400 Great island, beautiful place? 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:18.680 Yes? 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.680 Will we have to pay for that or is it 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.120 just no, it's a free update. 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.680 Yeah. It used to be used to have to pay 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:26.840 back in the day to. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.000 Download the software and go pick up the disc from 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.559 app the Apple Store. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.680 Okay, back in the day, that was like I think 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.320 it was like twenty dollars to upgrade. Then they decided 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.600 to make it free. And on the iPhone back in 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.320 the day, I think it was five dollars to upgrade 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.120 your iPod Touch or whatever it was. It was like 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.479 five bucks for the new operating system. It's all gone away. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.000 Now it's all free. The reason it's free is because 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.599 a security security wise, they want you to update and 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.960 new feature wise, like basically, the more they can update 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.080 and sell you stuff, the more you know, like on 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:57.040 the back end, right. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.839 Better for them to have the latest software on. 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:04.960 Your Okay, all right, Megan, let's get a question on there. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.640 Okay, So our first question comes from Larry Turner. The 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.720 subject is iPad. I need a new iPad? Should I 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:13.880 wait until September? 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:19.280 Ooh? So I will tell you the place I go 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.440 for anything Apple related that I need to know if 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.880 I'm gonna buy something. So now, my theory on Apple 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.520 products is you want to buy them as close to 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.000 the first day that they come out as possible. Why 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.920 do I say that because if you look at the 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.360 history of Apple products, they all get updated, whether it's 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.240 an iPod touch, while those take longer, whether it's an iPhone, 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.720 it comes out like clockwork. Every year. MacBooks get updated, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.760 the iPads get updated. So if you're buying it on 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.440 the first day, to me, you're getting the full use 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.320 of that price that you're paying until the price drops 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.320 when they launch the new product, because generally when they 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.040 launch the new product, the prices come down. So there's 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.160 two ways of looking at this. To me, if I'm 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.360 paying five hundred dollars for a new iPad, to me, 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.800 I want to get the maximum use out of that iPad, 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.120 like the day it's fresh and available. To me, that 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.400 five hundred dollars, I'm dividing that by how many days 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.760 I'm using it, right or how many years. Or you 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.400 can look at it second way, and you can always 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.280 buy things the day the new one comes out, because 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.680 you're going to get a discount on the old one, right, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.280 So you can buy the old one and get the 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.960 cheaper one. But my point is, what's the person's same again, 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:28.960 Larry Larry always look at Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot com, 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.400 Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot com. What they do is 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.440 they give you a very simple way of knowing how 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.640 long it's been since an Apple product came out. So 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.440 right now I'm looking iPhone ten s. They're saying caution 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.080 because the new one's coming out in September. So they're like, 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.640 if you buy that right now at full price, you've 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.520 gone six months of that price. You know, you could 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.120 have gotten six more months of use out of that. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.720 This makes sense. It's kind of this weird thing. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.520 Yeah, okay, I've been doing it backwards. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:56.720 You buy it later. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.920 Yeah, Like I bought my Iphoney Plus like six months 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.640 after it came out, right, But it's always around the 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:04.560 same time of year. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.320 So that's fine. You're in that middle cycle and hopefully 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.440 you get a deal now. iPad air right now, iPad 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.400 pro is neutral, iPad pro as neutral, yeah, iPad pro, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.760 iPad air by now, and iPad MANI buy now, iPad 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.840 don't buy. So if you're looking at the standard iPad 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.320 it's been four hundred and thirty six days since they 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.920 released a new one. The average is five eighty three, 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.360 which means you only have one hundred days of use 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.559 before the price drops. You see how I'm figuring this out. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.280 So anyway, Larry great resource. It's the Mac Rumors Buyer's Guide. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.080 I always consult it and for me personally, like I 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.800 like to buy stuff the day it comes out, because 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.120 like my kid's iPad minis, I bought them literally the 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.120 first week they're out because I was like, okay, and 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.120 it's been three years, so we've gotten a lot of 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:50.840 good use. Now. If you look at the iPad Mini, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.920 it was just updated recently, it's only been eighty days. 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.400 Before that, it's been three hundred ninety days, and so 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.640 I had it for three hundred and ninety days of 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.560 basically I paid full price, but divide it by three 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.520 ninety and now it's a pretty good deal. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.000 Yeah, So he should if he wants the new iPad, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.320 he should wait until it comes out. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.160 It depends on the iPad he wants. If it's the 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.600 iPad Pro, it's neutral. You can make your own decision, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.000 iPad Air or Mini. Buy him right now. iPad don't 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.720 buy got it? All right? Cool? Great question. Okay, let's 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.319 talk about some of the new features coming to the iPhone. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.120 So I talked about WWDC. iOS thirteen is the new 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.040 version of the operating system. And if you know me, well, 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.360 you know that I wrote a book on iOS twelve, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.439 which was one hundred and one handy tech tips for 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:34.000 the iPhone. 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:34.720 Yeah you did. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.120 They should have a buyer's guide for that because that's 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.840 about to sunset. Because when the new software comes out, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.920 a lot of the things will still work. But it's like, rich, 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.160 you need a new book, right, So I'm thinking about 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.960 writing the new version, which I probably will. So main 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.000 features I'll just go through quickly dramatic new look dark mode, 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.720 which kind of fun. Yeah, I mean it's just kind 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:56.280 of fun to have a. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.280 Different you're going to use that? 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.920 Oh yeah, I'll put it on schedule so i'll have 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.319 it go. I'll have it go on automatically at sunset 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.840 and off at sunrise, so yeah, which will give me 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.720 like maybe five minutes of use because I go to 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.480 sleep before the sunsets most nights. Okay, face ID is 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.760 going to be faster, thirty percent faster to unlock. Now 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.600 you don't have face Idea on your iPhone, but I do, 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.200 and it is noticeably amazing, but it's also noticeably slow. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.600 Like I could definitely take the thirty percent improvement and 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.240 really be happy with that. The operating system itself is 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.920 faster and more responsive, the apps are smaller. Photos is 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.640 totally going to change to help you curate your pictures 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:38.320 in better ways. Apple Maps, which you use right, Yes, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.440 I don't, I know, but it's been getting better and 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.839 Apple says they drove four million miles to completely rebuild 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.719 the database, so it is getting a lot better. Personally, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.120 Google has the market on this. They really know what 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.520 they're doing and it's very smart. So except for CarPlay, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.880 which used to only be maps, now it supports Google Maps, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.559 I pretty much do not have a use for maps 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.839 in my life. So the new maps, though, will be better. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.760 It's going to roll out to the entire US by 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.920 the end of twenty nineteen, and basically there's more detail 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.120 on the maps. So it's pretty dramatic the level of 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.240 detail that Apple has been able to build into maps 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.800 compared to when it first launched, and it has been 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.040 getting better over time. Let's see what else they also 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.160 have This new look around View, which is basically street view. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.839 Are you familiar with that on Google? Yes, So it's 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.920 basically now Apple has their own version. So in a nutshell, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.960 Apple has been doing a really good job with maps. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.280 Will it be enough to get people to try to 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.199 go back to it? Probably not to me. The people 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.199 that use maps are people that don't understand that it's 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.400 not Google Maps, don't really care, or don't really navigate 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.400 that much like you. I don't know if you navigate. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.000 I navigate a lot, and I'm always like using Google 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.400 Maps to like see exact times to get places and 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.040 go places. If you're not using that, it's not that 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.000 bad of a deal, you know. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.120 Yeah, I use Google Maps on my computer and then 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.000 I use Maps on my phone. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.840 Gosh what it's just how you do it, how I 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.240 do it. Messages, I'm very excited about this feature. So 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.280 I Message is kind of the de facto messaging app 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.559 in America. It will now let you set a username 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.559 and profile photo, which is a small thing, but it's 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.600 so cool because if you look in your list of messages, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.200 you know, I've got pictures. One that really bothers me. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.559 My agent shows up as a picture of his dog, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.679 and I have no idea where that picture is being 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.280 pulled from. And it's really annoying because like I want 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.719 him to look like him right right, and I can 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.160 go through and change it manually. But who does that, right? 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.800 I mean sometimes I do. Yeah, I've done that. It 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.080 takes a lot of time effort. So anyway, so you 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.440 can on your end, on your phone, you can set 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.720 how Megan looks to other people when you I message them. Interesting, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:44.560 that's really fun. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:45.240 That is fun. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.200 Siri has a new voice. She's going to be more 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.400 natural sounding and also one hundred percent computer synthesized. So 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.640 they used to put actors in a voice booth ask 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.480 them to say a thousand million different little terms like 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.280 turn right, turn left, or they'd say turn and then 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.760 you go right, left, up, down, around, and then Siri 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.520 would blend those things together. Now she's one hundred percent 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:07.880 made by a computer. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.880 So voice is made by a computer, it's not humans. Yeah, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.640 that's crazy. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.840 And she sounds pretty good because they showed a little 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.240 demo and she sounds great. Car Play is getting its newest, 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.320 its biggest update ever. It's getting a whole new dashboard. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.640 I love car Play. I think it's the best Google 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.680 for their side of things is actually updating Android Auto 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.040 as well, So it's clear that we need an evolution 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.040 with these two systems that I really love. I mean, 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.240 I think I love car Play, I love Android Auto. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.480 So again car Play is getting an update, and Siri 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.400 is now going to support third party navigation and audio apps, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.920 which is huge because again, Apple Music, why do I 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.080 love it? Because Siri works with it. So if Siri 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.240 was to work with Spotify, maybe I'd take another look 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.520 at that, right, even though I think Apple Music is better. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.200 QuickPath is the iOS keyboard is getting swiped to type, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.240 which I know is a small thing, and again you 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.440 can get it with third party apps, but why if 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.520 you can get it on the regular keyboard, that's fine. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:11.040 And Files will now let you access external storage devices 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.600 like SD cards and USB flash drive, so you will 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.840 be able to plug a USB flash drive into your 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.840 iPhone and it will be able to see the files 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.640 on there, which is something that's never been done before. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.440 That will also work on the iPad, which is really cool. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.000 So a lot of new features. iOS thirteen is going 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.640 to be a big one. I got to start writing. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.760 That book, Yes you do. That's exciting. All right, Megan, Okay, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.840 so this I thought this was kind of a funny transition. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:41.840 This next comment comes from John Nielsen and the subject 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.840 is android phones. He says, all you seem to talk 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.320 about is Apple phone. How about something for the millions 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.360 of Android users who don't care what Apple is doing. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.240 Oh, I love the irony that you do that, Like 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:55.920 all afin just talked about Apple. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.760 But the reason why I think we had just gone 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.160 to like we've gone to so many Android events in 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.480 the last few weeks. I just think it's funny because 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.000 it sounds like he just catches you at the wrong time. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.960 Right, or he gets really annoyed when I talk about Apple. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.800 But here's the thing, you know me, Well, yes, am 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.080 I an Apple fanboy? No? Right, you're so. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.680 He rich changes his phone Like every month he'll go 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.680 back to an Android and he'll say how much he 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.680 loves it, and then he'll get bored of it and 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.280 he'll go back like he switches it up. So I 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.840 just think it's funny that this person thinks he's a fan. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.560 Boy, right, And so it's fine. And this is the 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.160 joke among all tech folks is that if you talk 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.880 about Apple, you're paid by Apple, and you're an Apple 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.200 fanboy and you're an Apple lover, you talk about Android. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.520 Oh well, Google's paying you and Samsung's paying you. How 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.640 much you being paid by Samsung to talk about Samsung. 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.040 The reality is things come and go in waves. Last 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:48.960 month we had a bunch of Samsung news because we 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.200 had the Samsung event where we had the new Samsung phones, 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:53.800 and then we had the new Galaxy Fold and I 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.840 talked about that. Then we had the one Plus, which 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.560 is the Android phone. I went to that event in 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.600 New York. By the way, flew there to go there 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.560 because I wanted to out of the kindness of my heart, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.000 even though they paid thank you, one Plus. But my 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.640 point is I wanted to be there because I love 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.000 what one plus is doing, and I love Android, and 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.800 I appreciate Android, and I also appreciate what Apple's doing. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:13.920 And yes, I do switch my phones up a lot, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.720 like a lot of tech people, and I do try 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.760 things out. There's a lot of things that iPhone does 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.000 that's really good. There's a lot of things that Android 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.520 does that's really good. So I'll direct you to some 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.359 of my coverage, but I talked about a lot of 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.840 Android stuff in the past month. But again this is 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.960 Apple's week. They're having their Worldwide Developers Conference. Of course, 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.280 somebody talking about Apple a lot. And speaking of Apple, 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:39.239 let's talk about the Apple Watch because at WWDC they 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.879 also talked about what's going to be new for the 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:42.880 Apple Watch. And I'll just go over some of the features. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.480 Apple Watch, by the way, one percent the best wearable 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.560 out there today. There is nothing better. I know you 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.800 want one so badly. The Apple Watch is just quite 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.760 simply amazing. And I'll be honest. When I go to 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.720 Android and I use my Android device, the thing I 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.560 missed the most is my Apple Watch because I love 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.480 the health functions. There's just so many little things that 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:06.720 I do on it. When I go for a run 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.600 in the afternoon, I sit there, I pop in my AirPods. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.400
