And Facebook showed off 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.120 a lot of stuff. I mean, none of it is 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.400 truly like, oh my gosh, it's unbelievable, But there are 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.080 a lot of things. I'll unpack a few of them 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.759 just quickly here. So let's just start with Messenger. Basically, 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.679 they are putting all their bets on Messenger, right so 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.640 they want Messenger to be the preferred messaging app, and 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.400 to do that, they're making it simpler. They're making it faster, 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.040 They're making the app smaller so it's easier to download. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.640 They're making it so you can watch This is always 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.840 funny to me, watch videos with your friends and chat 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.480 out about them at the same time. Oh yeah, small 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.440 use case scenario, I feel like, but I could see 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:05.320 how that could be fun. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.040 It's an Instagram thing, I think. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.040 Okay, Well, so that's okay. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.560 The other thing is they're they're releasing desktop apps for 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.880 both Windows and Mac, which I think is huge because 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.920 that way you can finally have a good competitor to 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.200 I Message, because right now, if you want a message 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.680 with Messenger on, you have to use the website. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:24.680 Let's see. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.680 So Facebook itself is getting a brand new look. Have 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.639 you seen this on your phone yet? Megan, No, it's 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.920 like all white. It's like the blue is gone. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.920 So only this haven't updated. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.800 Yeah, look at the app. It's pretty crazy. Groups are 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.200 front and center. And Megan, you told me use groups, right, 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:39.280 so you're big on groups. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.359 That is all I use on facebee. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.320 And apparently that's all other people use because now they're 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.200 saying that this is like front and center. And I 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.960 never even realized I was a part of a couple 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.080 groups till they put this front and center. Now I'm like, oh, 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.040 I'm part of three groups, so maybe. And I was 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.880 also unclear as to my activity in those groups if 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.440 it was public or private. But if it's private, I'd 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.160 be much more, you know, app to post in those groups, 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.760 because I didn't realize that that was all private. Maybe 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.720 some groups are public, I don't know. Probably this is 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.280 interesting they're going to do a feature called secret Crush, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.000 not in the US, but in other countries. Maybe it'll 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.000 come to you a slater. You basically pick nine friends 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.440 who you are interested in romantically, and your friends pick 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.520 nine people that they're interested in romantically, and if any 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.720 of you match, you'll get like a secret crush. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.239 So it'll tell you you two like each other. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.960 Right, It's kind of like third grade. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.240 That's cute, it is. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.240 And I think it's smart because you know, if you 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.960 have someone on your list and you're like, oh, man, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.320 of only if only? 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.320 Yeah, now you know. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.160 And I think the only danger of this it's kind 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:42.960 of how they implement it. What if you just pick 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.800 like nine new people every day and you're just basically 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.400 phishing to see if, like, any of your friends have 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.240 a crush on you. Right, there must be a way 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.520 that they're stopping you from, Like you can only change 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.360 it once a quarter or something, right, Right. The other 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.200 thing about Instagram, they are well, the other cool thing 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.360 about Facebook is they are helping you meet new friends, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.080 so not just like dating and stuff. They're basically doing 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.240 the equivalent of dating, but for just like new friends 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:04.760 in general. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.280 So well, I think it's. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.640 It's similar with like groups, as you can meet people 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.960 through groups on Facebook, so that makes sense. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.840 Like and a lot of the people that are unearthing 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.640 are gonna be from your groups, so they'll be like 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.679 you both like wine and books like you should be friends. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.800 That's like everyone though, Yeah, true, mostly Netflix and books 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.240 for a lot of people. And finally, with Instagram, you're 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.600 gonna be able to hide likes. They're testing this in Canada. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.960 No word if it's coming to the US. But that's 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400 a big one too, because I'm kind of torn on that. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.039 I see the appeal of it for you know, in 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.359 high school, I could understand why you'd want that one 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.400 hundred percent. Like you don't need if you're a student 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.760 in seventh grade, you don't need to see like how 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.080 many likes someone has on a picture. If you're someone 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.520 like me, that's kind of like, you know, a public figure. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.640 I understand why likes are important on my posts because 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.839 people like to see what's popular what's not. I like 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.599 to see what resonates. The person posting will still be 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.960 able to see the likes that they get, but you 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.640 kind of have to request them. So it's not like 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.120 a parent you have to like go in and like 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.000 take one extra step. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.360 So yeah, very interesting. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.719 Anyways, A yeah, lots of stuff Facebook is doing that. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.200 That's from their FA conference. Next week, by the way, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.839 is Google, so I'll be up there to see what 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.120 they have in store. And then after that it's Apple, 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.960 So lots of new news from these folks. Personally, I 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.760 get really frustrated with all this because I just want 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.640 the new features today. I don't want to wait, and 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.960 they always make you wait. Yeah, all right, Megan, producer, Megan, 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.359 do you have a question for me? 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:24.800 I do. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:25.760 So. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:31.000 This first question comes from Jill. Subject is recommendation for 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.200 a smart TV. Can you recommend a great smart TV? 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.839 We want to cut the cord. Thank you so much. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.599 This is always a popular question and people don't really 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.440 buy TVs more like it's like a once every like 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.040 ten years kind of thing, right, Yeah, so I think 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.400 the most popular, i'd say, are the common kind of 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.359 answer for this right now is the TCL six series. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.480 Remember we did a segment on it here at KTLA. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.960 So this this TV is super popular because it's a 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.440 great TV. It's fifty five inch TV that has everything 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.280 you need, four K, all the streaming apps. It's got 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.680 Roku built in, so you get all the streaming apps, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.840 you get great color. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.040 This is what I have. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:11.920 Oh you have this one? 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.360 Yeah, but not the sixth series. I think it's the 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.520 five series the year before. But it's amazing. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.640 I love it, and they're still selling the four series. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.280 I'm going to see people at cost go buying that. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.000 But the best part about this TV is it's a 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.840 great value. So you're talking six hundred and forty nine 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.800 dollars for the fifty five inch, nine hundred ninety nine 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.479 dollars for the sixty five inch, eighteen ninety nine for 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.920 the seventy five inch. So when I get my next TV, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.920 it will definitely be a sixty five inch screen because 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.800 the fifty five inches is cramping my style a little 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.680 bit right now, even though I thought that was huge 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.640 when I first got it, right, Yeah, So let's see 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.720 what it is on Amazon. Those are the suggested you know, 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.600 retail prices on Amazon. The fifty five inch four K 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.520 Ultra HD Roku Smart Led TV from TCL is five 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.920 hundred and twenty one dollars. Wow, that's amazing. Seventy five 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:05.200 inch is fifteen hundred and sixty dollars. All right, great, question, 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:06.320 love that question. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.800 TVs are just they're getting better and better and they're 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:09.920 also getting cheaper. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.440 Yeah, time like everything with all the technology. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.160 But you know, you gotta I like that because it's 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.800 a great value, you know, Like, that's really So if 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.320 you want the best, probably Sony. If you want the 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.480 second best, i'd say Samsung. If you want the best, 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.680 O lead, go with LG. But I think you'll be 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:25.560 happy with the TCL. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:26.400 All right. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.200 So Google is doing this new thing where obviously you 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.560 know that Google keeps track of everything that you do 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.520 in your life, whatever you search for, whatever you watch 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:40.280 on YouTube, wherever you drive. It is collecting everything about you. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.960 And for the most part, that's actually a good thing 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.160 in a lot of ways because you know, why do 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.080 you think Google, when you search, comes up with the 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.400 right answer pretty quickly, Because when you start typing the 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.280 words into that search bar, it's using all the data 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:57.560 it knows about you. So when you start typing you know, tropical, 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.480 it already knows that you're looking for a tropical cruise 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.560 versus a tropical drink, right based on your search history, 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.560 So it might put tropical cruise Bahamas, tropical cruise. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.120 You know Antarctica. That doesn't Those don't really go together. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.400 But you know what I'm saying. See, Google is smart, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.760 so so it knows. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.600 And the reason why it knows is because of all 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.920 your history that you give to it. Well, you can 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.560 always go in and kind of delete some of this 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.200 stuff out of there. And clearly people are very you know, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.520 concerned about what Google knows about them. Well, now Google 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.080 is letting you automatically scrub your search history, so you 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.760 can choose a time limit that they keep it between 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.440 three and eighteen months, and after that time, Google will 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:39.960 just go ahead and get rid of it, which I 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.480 think is fine. I mean, they don't need it, I know. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.760 But see the way I feel, I kind. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.719 Of love the idea of all this history that I'm 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.839 leaving on the web in like twenty years. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.480 I want to look at it, you know, like even 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.560 with pictures. I noticed this. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.280 It's like you forget that you took this picture of 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.440 your kid, you know, all these little things, and like, 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.320 I don't know, maybe I want to notice searching for 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.320 back in you know, twenty eighteen when I'm sixty, you know, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.599 I think that might be interesting. Yeah, like new Motorola smartphone, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.600 you know, what I mean with like four K video 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:07.880 and we're at like twenty five K. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.000 So I don't know. I mean, but I think eighteen 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.120 months a good amount of time. But I don't know. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.559 I mean anyway, I'll tell you how to do it. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.640 So you go to Google Account, which is on your 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.720 Android phone or you can find it on your iPhone. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.760 Under the Google app, go to Data and Personalization, manage 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:28.120 your activity controls, then choose web and app a web 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.840 and app activity, and then choose to delete automatically and 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.920 select the timeframe that you want, and then say confirm. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.839 So this is these directions are from the next Web. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.040 I tried to do this on my phone. I don't 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.959 have it just yet. Google says it's rolling out in 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.120 the next couple of weeks. So if you try those 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.080 directions and they don't work, try again in a couple 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.280 of weeks, because this is rolling out to everyone. So 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.439 I don't know, let me know what you think you're 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.040 gonna do this. I'm kind of torn. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:54.400 I don't want to sounds like you're not. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.720 I don't want to obliterate my history, Like I like history, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.719 and I feel like it's one of these things that 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.320 like in the future I might be like, oh, would 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.240 have been nice to see like all that stuff, or 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.920 even my location history, like so if you get rid 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.240 of that, Like I love my location history because it 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.360 tells me everywhere I've been in the world. And I 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.720 love going to Google Maps and like looking at my 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.720 timeline and being like, where did I go in New 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.079 Zealand because I forget it's been so many years it's 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.400 all on there. If that's obliterated, I feel so sad. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.240 I never thought of the history, like your past history, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:23.880 to be like that. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.800 You know, it's like a photo album exactly. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.600 And I know everyone's scared of like their history on Google, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.800 but like the reality is, I don't know, there are 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.280 some fun aspects to having all that stuff, all right, Megan. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.480 Next question, Okay, next question has to do with internet 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:38.079 and Wi Fi. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.400 It comes from Joyce. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.800 She says, Hi, Rich, I have AT and T for 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.320 my internet and my WiFi, which is wireless. Can you 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.000 tell me what I could buy to illuminate that sixty 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.120 dollars bill every month? 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:52.840 I do stream Netflix. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.800 I cut my cable cord and bought an indoor antenna 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.440 so that I could get my local channels and Roku 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.960 for entertaining, which costs me less than a month of 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.719 basic cable. Now, I would like to get rid of 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.160 my AT and T monthly bill if I can. I 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.960 have smart TVs and I have an iPhone. I hope 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.120 you can help me with something that I don't know 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:16.000 anything about. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.240 Joyce. Joyce, right, Joyce, Okay, Uh, not gonna happen. You can't. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:22.240 You can't, Joyce. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.400 You can't have the best of everything without paying for anything. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:25.760 Right. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.600 So there is no magical formula for getting streaming content 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.840 without an Internet connection. And what you're talking about is 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.480 you're referring to AT and T WiFi, but I'm assuming 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.640 you mean you have AT and T Internet in your 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.600 house and it's coming through your WiFi. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.040 And I get this question a lot. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.040 Actually, people cut the cord and they want to know, like, 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.720 how do I get rid of my internet bill? 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:45.600 And I'm like, you can't. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.920 And the cable companies know this, which is why they 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.840 love when you cut the cord, because guess what happens 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.520 when you cut the cord. Your internet prices go up, 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.400 and they go up and up and up, just like 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.000 cable prices did back in the day. So I know 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.079 I started out at like gosh, I think it was 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.720 like thirty five ninety and then I went up to 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.000 forty five. Now I'm up to sixty five dollars a 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.720 month for Internet because Spectrum knows that, like, that's the 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.360 only thing I get from them. What am I going 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.520 to do? Go somewhere else? Maybe, but I don't feel 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.120 like dealing with that. So Joyce you really can't get 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.400 rid of your Wi Fi from AT and T. I 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.800 will give you some hope for the future, though. So 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.080 you've got two things happening. Number one, the wireless companies 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.960 and AT and T included, they're all building these five 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.400 G networks, So eventually you will be able to subscribe 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.600 to five G for your home internet, depending on how 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.280 they structure things. But Verizon has already tried this in 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.040 LA in a very small area, but T Mobile has 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.120 plans to do this. AT and T hasn't really said 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.160 they're going to do this. But the reality is five 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.120 G will be so good that eventually you will be 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.120 able to replace your home internet with five G and 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.160 now will be from the same people AT and T, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.280 T Mobile. 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:50.640 Verizon, perhaps Sprint. 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.839 But the reality is you'll have more competition right now 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.160 when it comes to these fixed lines that come to 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.080 our homes. We generally have one to two options, and 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.480 this will give more options. It'll be from the same giants, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.040 but hopefully the prices will be a little bit more 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.120 competitive and you can kind of hop around easier because 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.719 there are so many more options. So that's a ways off, though, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.240 we're talking like two to three years from now. I'd 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.640 say maybe in LA a little bit sooner, but that's 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.400 kind of like the bigger picture. The other thing to 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:23.280 look forward to is satellite internet, like laser internet that 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.160 Elon Musk wants to do. So he's launching all these 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.240 satellites right now around the world that will beam internet. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.760 I don't know how fast or good it's going to be. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.080 Hopefully it's good. But that's another option. So I'm trying 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.560 to give you a little bright side. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.640 In the future. Would not be free, Okay, No, nothing's free, Megan. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.200 You know, I know, I know. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:41.720 Internet is like water. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.480 Yeah, they know they got you. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.680 Yeah, to me, like, what would you rather have turned 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.240 off in your home? The internet or the water? 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.840 The internet? Okay, I want to be able to shower. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.679 Well, I'm just saying, like, shoot, what would you do well, 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.880 i'd say probably, yeah, Internet, I hate when the water's off. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.200 It is it's I know we're sounding very first world 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:07.000 right now, but yeah, all right, smartphones this these numbers 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:12.000 are just wild. So in the US, when you think smartphones, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.840 you think Samsung and Apple, right, and for the most 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.440 part you really think Apple. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:17.600 A lot of people. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.200 It seems like Apple has a lock on the US, right, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.080 and then Samsung of course. Now these are numbers from IDC. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:24.840 Number one. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.920 Smartphone shipments in general are just down down almost seven 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.720 percent year over year. So what does that tell you? 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.160 Tells you that everyone who has a smartphone pretty much 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.080 has one at this point. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.280 And it's just kind of like shuffling the deck, like 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.000 rearranging the chairs, like I want this, I want a Samsung, 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.840 now I want an Apple, and I want I have 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.440 an Apple, now I want a Samsung. Blah blah blah. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.800 The companies are just no one's doing very well except 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.960 for the Chinese companies. So let's just go with Samsung. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.960 They saw volumes drop eight percent. They still shipped seventy 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.520 one million phones in the first three months of twenty nineteen. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.440 That's pretty good. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:14:59.120 That's a lot. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.400 They are the number one in the smartphone market. The 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.760 Galaxy S ten is doing really well for them. But 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.320 here's the deal. Number two is now Huawei. This is 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.680 the Chinese company that like basically America is at odds 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.240 with because they think they're spying on us, so we 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.880 can't buy their phones. But the rest of the world 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.760 loves their phones. Yeah, and they're number two. Now they 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.560 here's the crazy part about them. They have a year 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.480 over year growth of fifty percent, which means they're grown fast. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.640 That's wild. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:28.240 Yeah. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.760 Now they only sold fifty nine million phones in the 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.400 first quarter, but they have a nineteen percent market share. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.680 Now here's Apple, lovely Apple. Here US company. They had 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.640 a challenging first quarter. They only shipped thirty six million phones. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.320 So think about that. They shipped thirty six million, Samsung 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.440 did seventy one million, almost double. But you know, there's 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.600 a lot of different you know, Samsung makes a lot 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.920 of different phones. Yeah, but here's their decline thirty percent 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:54.280 year over year. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.480 That's crazy, I me. So it feels like are people 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.560 switching to different phones? They are? They just kind of 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.480 they happy with their iPhone? Who knows. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.880 But they did try to do some trade in deals. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.880 Clearly consumers didn't really care the other companies on this 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.400 list Jaomi, Vivo, and Opo, which are all I believe 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.720 Chinese companies. I know Jaomi is and Vivo and Opo 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.880 are I believe are all China anyway, wild huh? All right, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.360 So I just like to do that because it gives 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.640 you a little perspective because in America we're so America 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.800 centric and iPhone and I message, But there's a whole 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.880 world out there, and Samsung is dominant in that world. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.440 Huawei now really dominant. Apple actually has to catch up, 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:34.240 which is crazy. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:35.360 Will they do it? Yeah? 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.080 And I had never heard of Huawei up until recently. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.080 Yeah, you don't hear about them much in the US, 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.360 but they have a really nice phone. Yeah. 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.760 So, speaking of Huawei, I do have a question, and 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:50.840 this was on Twitter from Peter John. He asks here 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.280 in Canada, Huawei thirty pro is being promoted heavily. It 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.120
