22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: by P and C Bank, a lot of people think

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: podcasts about work are boring, and sure they definitely can be,

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: but understanding of professional's routine shows us how they achieve

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: their success little by little, day after day. It's like

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank Brilliantly

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty

Speaker 2: five is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc.

00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: P and C Bank National Association Member FDIC.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: So Samsung yep overtakes Apple right as the world's top

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: smartphone provider and uh Chinese.

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: Rivals You got to you got to companies wild Way

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: and show.

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Me Show Me.

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha show me, But it has an exit spelled

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: to exit x I.

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: Oh am I.

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: So those two companies are the third and fourth largest

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: smart smartphone providers in the world, respectfully, and they're taking

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: market share. So you know, Apple has been on and

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: down with trajectory for about a year now, and you know,

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: it's been a lot of bad news and this was

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: the most recent conversation as far as smart Samsung taking

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: over them as a number one provider in the smartphone world.

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 3: So what's what's the thoughts on this news.

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 4: I wanted to do like I did a couple of

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: years ago when I had that breakup, come in and

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: I talked about it, but I kind.

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Of got to addressed this. They'act like everything's fine this

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: time around, you know. So with that being a couple

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: of things they.

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: I get really worried when someone is in the leadership

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: spot of being number one and then they get complacent. Apple,

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: please reach out to us asap. I got a few ideas.

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: I know some of y'all like, whatever idea you have.

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: Android has got a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: Number two, they need to find a smaller player to acquire.

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: I keep saying that I think they should acquire Dji

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. But if they do not

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: get a strangle hold on this over the next couple

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: of years as the market is shifting, We'll talk about

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: red Lobster later.

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I followed for bankruptcy. Shot to this biscuits.

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: Though, I get worried when we have a cyclical change

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: and a product leader falls out of favor because if Samsung,

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: I mean they got the six point four billion from Biden,

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: that helps a hell of a lot. That kind of

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: broke my heart. They need some innovations over the next year.

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: If our Apple I was shut almost every other project

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: down and figure out ways to make that phone better,

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: because they've really been reselling this phone for nine years now.

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: iOS has been great, but the features on it are

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: not better. And I think it's time that as investors

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: we have an open outcry to the investor relations team

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: and say, hey, guys, gotta fix the shit or you're

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: going to end up losing your market share. You may

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: not ever be able to get it back. For those

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: of you who are saying, hey, you worry too much,

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 4: You fear monger too much. At one point, City Group

83
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: was the biggest thing on Wall Street, and it fell

84
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: apart in two thousand and seven. We're seeing some black

85
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: Swan like events start to line up. Please write this down.

86
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: The macro picture matters more so if we get two

87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: more major black Swan events and the market drops like

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: amb is pulling back dramatically as well. They're kind of

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: pricing in something that is about to happen. I don't

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: know if Apple can sustain this lead in a smartphone

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: race if we go through a crash for two years,

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: or they don't raise rates until twenty five and then

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: we have a new the White House like, it's a

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: very scary time. But this is what happens when you

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: don't innovate. I know sometimes you guys look at the

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: showmanship of what we do of putting on a good

97
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 4: show and the rollout of investmentest but you have to

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: innovate every year or you're gonna get killed. Got competition

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: lined up everywhere, and this is what happens when you

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 4: don't innovate n a fast enough clip and don't listen

101
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: to your customer base.

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: Yes, all those things are true. There's another piece that

103
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: we have to take into account. It is the geopolitical

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: side of it. When you're talking about which companies are

105
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: in third or fourth, they're Chinese companies.

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: And there's a reason.

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: Why they're third and fourth because more people are starting

108
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: to look at nationalism as a piece of their pursising.

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: Rather than buying the American phone, they are now choosing

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: to buy a phone that has similar qualities, that is from.

111
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: A Chinese company in their home country from their home country.

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: You added to the fact that the Chinese companies and

113
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: agencies are now eliminate employees to use Apple devices that

114
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: hurts them as well.

115
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Yea, right, but this is not move on us. This

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: is right.

117
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: So now it's okay, well you want to ban our apps, Well,

118
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: here's what we're going to start doing to our employees

119
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: and some of our citizens. We're going to start restricting

120
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: how many people can have your product that hurts. Apple's

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: iPhone sales dropped ten percent in twenty twenty four of

122
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: the first quarter. Think about that ten percent, which is

123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: you need China, you need them, you need them. So

124
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: Samsung obviously has twenty percent number one. Now they have

125
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: twenty percent of the smartphone market. Apples in second place

126
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: to seventeen percent. But those two companies that we mentioned

127
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: before showed me and Huawei all right there, right there,

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: and then moving at a fast paced One of the

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: reasons that Samsung was able to go ahead is because

130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: the release of the S twenty four and the functioning

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: inside the S twenty four is probably what pushed it

132
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: over the top. They have made a concerted effort to

133
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: make sure that AI is a component in this sales

134
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: of that phone.

135
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Ye.

136
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: Apple to this date and it's still early, we all

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: wait for June has still not said what they're going

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: to be doing in the AI space. We've seen it

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: from all the majors. We saw it for Microsoft obviously,

140
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: we know what Nvidio is doing. We've seen it from Google,

141
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: We've seen it from Meta. What they're talking about, Hey,

142
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: I what is the role that Apple's going to play

143
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: in it? What's the innovation that they're going to have

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: in it? And is it going to be inside of

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: the next innovation or rendition of the iPhone?

146
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: We don't know that yet, so I hope.

147
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: So you add that into all of the factors that

148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: you spoke about, and you can see why it is

149
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: a pullback. And we talked about this. It's the same

150
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: phone over and over. Yep, this is not innovative anymore. June,

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: I think is you said a couple of years. I

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: don't know how many more quarters they can have like this? Right,

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: if we start to see ten percent temper this could get.

154
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: They're going to have to discount them phones.

155
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: And that's a but that so that when they discount

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: the phones in China, it didn't work. Yeah, right, because

157
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: now you made them the same price as some the

158
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920
