1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: What's the deal with is sim Google Photos becomes your

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: own personal TikTok for memories? My thoughts of Apple's new

3
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: iPhones after a week plus your tech questions answered? What's

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Tamiro and this is Rich on

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Tech the podcast h I talk about the tech stuff

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. It's also the place

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: where I answer the questions you send me. I'm a

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. What

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: a week it has been? All because of something named

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: after a fruit apple. They launched a whole bunch of stuff.

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't seem maybe too significant to you listening,

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: but to me someone who has to go through every

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: one of these products and figure out what's new, what's different,

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: what's unique. So I mean, yeah, they launched new iPhones

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: on the surface, but they launched not just new iPhones,

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: but four iPhones, two different sizes, so really two. Then

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: they had the Series eight Watch, then they had the Ultra,

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: then they had the se Then they also had the AirPods.

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Did I miss anything? So that's a lot of stuff

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: to go through. And I've been using some of the

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: products more so than others, but general consensus is pretty solid. Updates,

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing groundbreaking. It's not like you're, you know,

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: have to rush out and upgrade to one of these devices.

24
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: But you know, the way Apple works is when you're

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: in the store and you're you know, kind of ready

26
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: for an upgrade, it's like, okay, well what does the

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: new one have? And so that's really what it comes

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: down to is what do the new ones have? So

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to the iPhone fourteen, you know, minimal

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: use on that. I didn't really need to do much

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: with that because you know, even though it's the phone

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: that most people are gonna buy, it's just it's a

33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: basic iPhone. I mean it's it's a standard iPhone. So

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: this is the phone that people you know, what happens

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: is Apple lures you in with the iPhone fourteen Pro

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: and then you get in there and you're like, wait,

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: it's how much. Oh, I'll just take that one for

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred, so instead of paying twelve hundred or you know,

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the thousand whatever. You know, the bigger one is. But

40
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen, I mean realistically, you know, it's got

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: the same process or very similar processor as last year.

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: The camera's you know, slight improvements, so I think, you know,

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: the selfie camera having the new auto focus. I mean,

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that it didn't have auto focus

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: in the past. It's not like it's ever really been

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: an issue. So that's fine if you need it. You know. Really,

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the crash detection and the SOS over satellite are going

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: to be the two new things. I was not able

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: to test the crash detection clearly, SOS satellite I got

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: a demo of at Apple, but I can't really test that.

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: That doesn't come out until November. Gosh, what I should

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: do is just answer. I got so many questions on

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: my Instagram because I asked people, you know, what do

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: you want to know about these phones? I should just

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: go through those for like the first five minutes of

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the show and let me just say, you know, if

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: you don't like Apple or you don't care about Apple,

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I understand that this week is kind of a rough

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: week for you because so much of the news in

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: the tech world is consumed by Apple. And that's just natural.

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: When you know, when a company comes out with this

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: much stuff, a company of this much prominence, that's just

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of how it is. So yeah, I'm just looking

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: at some of these responses, and a lot of people

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, is it worth the upgrade from

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: a thirteen to a fourteen? So I think it really

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: comes down to, you know, what your situation is. You know,

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: if you're just if you're okay with you know, spending

69
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: a couple hundred bucks when you really look at the

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: way the phone works. You know, Let's say you spend

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars on the iPhone fourteen pro this year, okay,

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: and then you go to trade it in next year.

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: So I think when I looked at Apple's website, they

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: were given about seven hundred let's just say, seven hundred dollars.

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: So for the use of that phone for the last year,

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: it was roughly three hundred dollars, I mean plus tax

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But I mean, so if you

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: don't mind paying three to four hundred to you know,

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: maybe five hundred dollars depending on how much you get

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: for storage a year for this device that you carry

81
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: every day and use every day, and want a better

82
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: camera and you want the latest, you want the greatest.

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: Do you want the emergency stuff? Sure, go ahead, upgrade,

84
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: But do you need to upgrade? Probably not. Now, there

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: are specific use case scenarios where if you want the

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: best camera because you're an instagrammer, or you want the

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: best camera because you have a newborn, and you want

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, the best video because you know, want the

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: action cam feature because you've been carrying a go pro around.

90
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, these are all reasons why you might want

91
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: to go with these new phones. But you know, I'm

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: not sitting here telling you you have to upgrade. You know,

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: if there was a feature that was groundbreaking on one

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: of these phones, and you know, the craft detection or

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the SOS emergency might be consider that for safety. But

96
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: if there is a feature, you know, hardware feature, software feature,

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: you know that was super groundbreaking, then yeah, I'd mention it.

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: But you know, we're getting nice incremental upgrades in the

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: cameras and the hardware is a very similar new processor

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: in the iPhone fourteen Pro. But the iPhone fourteen thirteen

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: wasn't even that slow towards the end, so it's not

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: like you needed it. In fact, they're using a very

103
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: similar processor in the iPhone fourteen this year. It's also

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: really confusing for the average person that there's iPhone fourteen

105
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: is sort of a blanket term for the new phones.

106
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: But then you also have iPhone fourteen like the regular one,

107
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: and then the pro. So I'm trying to think of

108
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: some of my other thoughts. I mean, you know, my

109
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: the always on display really really, I think it's just fantastic.

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: It's like it's funny because that's been on the Android

111
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: phones forever. Of course I love it. I mean, that's

112
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: that's like a standard thing I've been wanting on the

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: iPhone for so long, just to see the time most

114
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: of the time. But then they went and they won

115
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: uped it and they put these widgets on the lock screen,

116
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: which you know right now they're not that handy. I've

117
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: got a calendar widget, which I do love. I think

118
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: that's the best thing. Ever, then I have a weather

119
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: and the sun sunset, sunrise. Do I need those other two? Know?

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: But it's also only like day three, so, I mean

121
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: since iOS sixteen came out, so once these developers and

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm checking my apps every day right now, and I

123
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: would suggest you do the same, update your apps every

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: day because they're adding new functionality to these widgets every

125
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: single day, and so you know there will be widgets

126
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: on there that I haven't thought of that I would

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: really like to have on there. And so right now

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I mean, out of all the apps on

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: my phone, there are literally one two, three, four, five

130
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: six extra widgets that are not included in the operating system.

131
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: And I probably have you know, one hundred and fifty

132
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: two hundred apps on my phone. So that just goes

133
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to show you that we're at the just the beginning

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: of what those widgets do. They always on display is

135
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: really unique in that it looks like your phone is

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: on all the time. Compared to Android, you could definitely

137
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: tell when it's always on and when it's on the

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: actual screen. On this half the time I'm looking at it,

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, is a phone on? What's going on there?

140
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Let's see what else? The search on the homepage, which

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: you get, you know, if you have a iOS sixteen device,

142
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: that's really cool, even though you know, I just wish

143
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: it was a little bit better with the search. It's

144
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: not like real Google search. I mean, it sort of is,

145
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: but it's not. I don't know if they're surfacing like

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Google results as a suggest yeah, says serious suggestions, So

147
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: those are not really necessarily Google suggestions. But I don't know,

148
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe they'll get better. Let's see what else do The

149
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Digital Dynamic Island, I mean, you could keep it. I

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: don't really need it. It's not I haven't really seen

151
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: the usefulness of that. And you know, there's still a

152
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: lot of little things on iPhone that are just kind of,

153
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of been stagnant for us. Is

154
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: it stagnant just stale for a while, like some of

155
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: the you know, like just arranging your home screen. You know,

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: it's still this like really really complicated, Like you move

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: one icon, it pushes all the other ones out of

158
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: the way. Like it's just so odd that in twenty

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: twenty two we can't just like have icons the way

160
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: we want them on our screen, or little things like

161
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, do apps stop working in the background after

162
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: you know a little bit. Just just stuff like that.

163
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, overall, the camera is good. The action mode

164
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: I think is really fun. I'll probably use that. The

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: raw mode, the forty eight I'll never use. I don't

166
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: really need that. I can't think of a reason why

167
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: i'd need that. And you know, the camera is fine.

168
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that the camera actually took a little tiny

169
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: step back in sort of the overall look of your pictures.

170
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: I think that Apple needs to tweak the algorithm for this.

171
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe because it's a new lens that

172
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: they need to kind of tweak things just a little

173
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: bit because it's the pictures are looking great as usual,

174
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: but they're not looking as good as I remember with

175
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: like the older iPhone. So I mean, yes, they're good,

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: but they're I think that Apple will continue to tweak

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: and make things better on this device. So anyway, that's it.

178
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean, And one thing I do want to explain

179
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: because I did get some questions about this, and I

180
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: was at the Apple store yesterday doing some interviews, and

181
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: I was really curious because you know, most people buy

182
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: the iPhone on some sort of installment plan. It used

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: to be Apple's upgrade plan, but now the carriers have

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: sort of swooped in and taken over with these giant

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: trade in amounts, so like up to one thousand dollars

186
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: up to eight hundred dollars, you know, if you switch

187
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: or you change a line whatever, and so the big difference.

188
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I was trying to, you know, get this information from

189
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the Apple folks. But the main thing is that if

190
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: you trade your phone into Apple directly. Right. Let's say

191
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: you buy the iPhone last year for one thousand bucks,

192
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: then you go and you trade it into Apple. They

193
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: will give you the seven hundred dollars towards your new

194
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: phone immediately. So your new phone, let's say the price

195
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: tag is a thousand, you're out the door. Costs is

196
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: three hundred. The way the carriers do it, and this

197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: is why they're really dangling one thousand dollars eight hundred

198
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: dollars no matter what, even if your phone is old, whatever.

199
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: What they're doing is they're not really giving you one

200
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars all at once. They're taking that money and

201
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: they're dividing it up by anywhere from twenty four months

202
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: to thirty six months, and so you basically have to

203
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: stay with them during that time to get the maximum

204
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: out of that trade and deal, which is sort of

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: a quasi contract. And so it's you know, you're gonna

206
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: get more money. And if you're sticking with AT and

207
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: T or Verizon or T Mobile, fine, then it's gonna

208
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: work out for you. But if you're not, if you

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: ever want to switch to like one of these low

210
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: cost carriers or these cheaper you know carriers or a

211
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: better plan. You're really gonna be stuck because you will

212
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: have to pay some sort of buyout on that price

213
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: of the phone. So you know, maybe you're just offsetting

214
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: a problem that's gonna happen later. But anyway, lots of

215
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on the iPhone, and you know, it's just one

216
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: of these things that it's so it it consumes so

217
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: much of the attention in the tech world, and for

218
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: good reason. I mean, the iPhone was think about this

219
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: the other day. It's become so many things in our lives.

220
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking of all the things it's just

221
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: kind of like taken out. Maybe I mentioned this last week,

222
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: but it's just you know, it's like if you don't

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: bring your phone with you soon, you're not gonna have

224
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: your car keys. Like for me, it's my car key,

225
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's my wallet, it's you know, minus my

226
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: ID and some cash. But it's it's really you know,

227
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: it's your music player, it's your notepad, it's your gym tracker,

228
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: it's your activity tracker. It's just everything. And so there

229
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: is a reason. I mean, it's not just like oh,

230
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: the camera on the iPhone. There's so many aspects to

231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: what the iPhone does in general. And you know, I

232
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: think that these competitors out there are trying, but it's

233
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: really tough to compete with Apple because they've built such

234
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: a sticky ecosystem. Like for me, for instance, like if

235
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: I want to switch out of iPhone, it's like, oh,

236
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: I can't I message my kid. That really sucks. Oh

237
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: I lose my air tags. That's not fun. Let's see

238
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: what else I lose my you know, the best best

239
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: in class video that I take on here for TV.

240
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, if I'm ever out on a story anywhere

241
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: in the world and I shoot a little video with

242
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: my iPhone, I know that I can run that video

243
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: on TV because it's gonna look perfect. And so I

244
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: lose that. You know, I lose all these random little

245
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: apps that are that are so well designed for the

246
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: iPhone that these developers have spent their entire lives creating.

247
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: And so you know, there is a reason why I

248
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: lose all the accessories, all the mag safe stuff you

249
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: know that works so nicely. You go into any store

250
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: in the world, you could buy a new case for

251
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: this phone. I mean, really, there are so many considerations,

252
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, go ahead, call me an Apple fanboy. I'm not.

253
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm really not at all, and I'm not trying to

254
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: defend myself. But the reality is, you know, I really

255
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: like Android, but I need to also be served in

256
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: a way that you know, I get what I need

257
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: out of a phone. And so with the pixel for instance,

258
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: Pixel six pro. Love that phone, but it's just not

259
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: as powerful as i'd like when it comes to like

260
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: the video stuff that I need for my job. And

261
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, so then you say, oh, okay, what about

262
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: the this S twenty two Ultra great? But it's a

263
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: giant phone and it never really feels comfortable in my

264
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: hand and I can't really get used to it, and

265
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily need the pen on it, and so

266
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: it's like it's great, but you know, also the software

267
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: is like a little bit stumbly for me. You know,

268
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: it's good, but it's not like really really good like

269
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: the iPhone. When you go back to it, you're just like, oh, wow,

270
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: I could find anything on this phone in like one second.

271
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: And then I go to Samsung and I'm like, I

272
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: go to bring up the finder and it's like you know,

273
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: the search the phone, it's it takes literally a couple

274
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: seconds to bring up my app that I'm searching for.

275
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not acceptable. And face ID is

276
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: also another thing. So anyway, you know, I just try

277
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: to look at all these things and see what they're worth.

278
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, most people don't use

279
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: like ninety nine percent of what the iPhone does anyway,

280
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: so it's all good. Anyway, keep those questions coming. Let's

281
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: get to the first question of the podcast, which is

282
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: where is it's here? It is, Oh, look at this?

283
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh great? More iPhone talk, Michael says, is the extra

284
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars for the iPhone pro worth it over

285
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: the Plus fourteen? I take photos, but I'm not anywhere

286
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: close to someone that really values higher quality. So the

287
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: only difference between the two I think would be the

288
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: New Island. But your video says it still needs work.

289
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: So my thought here is that the fourteen plus should

290
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: be just fine. But I value your suggestion. Thanks in advance, Mike. Mike,

291
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: I agree. If you do not care about your pictures. Now,

292
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're not gonna get good pictures out

293
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: of the fourteen plus. You're gonna get great pictures. Are

294
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: they gonna be as good in every situation as the

295
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: fourteen pro. No, but you then again it's you know,

296
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: is it worth the extra two hundred not if you

297
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: don't care about that feature. Dynamic island is not worth

298
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars always on display. I would make an

299
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: argument for that because that is one of my favorite

300
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: features to see the time and the date in my

301
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: widgets that are you know, coming soon, So that to

302
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: me might be worth it. But you know, again, it

303
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: really comes down to what you want out of your phone.

304
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: So if you don't really care about your pictures that much,

305
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: I think you'll be just fine with a fourteen plus.

306
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: That's coming out, by the way, October seventh. So kind

307
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: of odd that Apple had three models come out the

308
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: same day, but they couldn't somehow get the iPhone fourteen

309
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: plus on the same day, So that's delayed by about

310
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: I guess a three month three weeks came out in

311
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: the sixteenth and then you've got October seventh. That sounds

312
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: like it's about three weeks. So good question, Mike, And

313
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, look to each his own. Everyone has different,

314
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, wants with their phone, and so it just

315
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: comes down to, like I've always said, it just comes

316
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: down to what you need out of your device. All right,

317
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about eSIMs, because this is another new thing

318
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: on the iPhone. Now. eSIMs have been around for a

319
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: long time now, nobody has really needed to use them

320
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: until now because they did away with a physical simcard

321
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: on the iPhone. So now people are sort of discovering

322
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: for the first time that wait a second, I don't

323
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: need a simcard on my phone. That's kind of weird.

324
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: And you know, quite honestly, I never used an eSIM

325
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: until my trip to Rome and I activated an eSIM

326
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: for international and it was so easy, it was so amazing,

327
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: and it was the greatest experience, and I was like, wow,

328
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: this is really really cool. Now, if you talk to Apple,

329
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: they've actually secretly, not secretly, but they've they haven't advertised this,

330
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: but they've been activating eSIMs on all of the iPhones

331
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: sold at their stores for the past year, you know,

332
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: without people really knowing that, like, oh you didn't, I

333
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: didn't notice you pop in a SIM card. But they

334
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: didn't need to because they've been activating them. Probably has

335
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: like a beta test, you know, for this big launch,

336
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: and so people are already out there using eSIMs. And

337
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: I think eSIM is is quite amazing actually, because at

338
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: first I was like, oh, that's kind of annoying, like

339
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: you can't just swap SIM cards or whatever. And yeah,

340
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: there will be some uses where that's that is kind

341
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: of annoying because you're always so sort of going through

342
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: the carrier to switch your SIM to a new phone,

343
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: and so you know, there's just a level of like

344
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta work with either the phones or

345
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: the carrier or you know, like if you go from

346
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: let's say you went from and this is where I

347
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: think Apple kind of did this on purpose. But let's

348
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: say you do you decide to switch from Android to

349
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: iOS and you activate. You know, you had a physical

350
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: SIM on your Android, and now you go to iOS

351
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: and it's it's eSIM. Well, guess what, it's gonna be

352
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: a big barrier to get back to that physical SIM,

353
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: to go back to an Android. Now androids do support eSIMs,

354
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: but again it's just one. You know, iPhone. They sort

355
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: of made the system work really well. But you know,

356
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: with and I don't know what it's like to go

357
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: from eSIM on iPhone to eSIM on Android. You probably

358
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: have to like contact your carrier, like not the easiest situation.

359
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: But what I like about the eSIM is that you

360
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: can literally set up your cellular plan right from your phone.

361
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: You don't need to go to a store. You know.

362
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: A picture and I posted it the other day of

363
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: the the simcard section at Target, and I said, ah,

364
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: this is going the way of news stands and you know,

365
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: mailboxes and postage stamps and magazines and newspapers. It's like

366
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: stuff that like used to be really important but now

367
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: is all just digital. And that's kind of like the simcard.

368
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: You just don't need it. But on the plus side,

369
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: what I think is cool is that all of these

370
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: little carriers now have an option to sort of get

371
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: you in. I mean, you could see a commercial on

372
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: TV for a really good cell phone plan and switch

373
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: to it immediately on your phone. That is pretty powerful

374
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: and really cool. In fact, I was looking at some

375
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, plans online and I found this one from

376
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: US Mobile that I've tested US Mobile in the past.

377
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: It was really good. They run on like either Verizon

378
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: or T Mobile, and they are unlimited plans like forty

379
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: five bucks a month. And I'm like, Okay, that's pretty good,

380
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: so what's the catch. And not only that, but you

381
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: can go on their website and they'll give you let's

382
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: see what's their offer. It's like, you know, they'll they'll

383
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: activate your e SIM immediately to give you a test run,

384
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: just like T mobiles doing as well. So this US mobile,

385
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: let's see what's what's happening here. Let's see. So free

386
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: trial ten days with unlimited talk, text and premium data

387
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: ten days. That's pretty good. So, I mean, that's really

388
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: cool that you could just do that right from your

389
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: from your phone and just activate you know, ten days

390
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: of free service on the iPhone. You can store eight sims.

391
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: Two can be active, six can be sort of dormant.

392
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: And what that means because I know this is kind

393
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: of odd because it's all new, but let's say you

394
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: go to Italy all the time and you wanted to

395
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: keep your Rome SIM cards, you know, with that phone

396
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: number that only works over there. You can keep it,

397
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, dormant but not active on your phone, or

398
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: you can tap it and activate it when you get

399
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: over there. So or you can have you know, one

400
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: SIM for your home number, one SIM for your work number.

401
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, you can do a lot with that. The

402
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: other thing that's kind of neat is that no one

403
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: now is wondering about this the other day. No one

404
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: can just pop the SIM out of your phone and

405
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: put it into another phone. So you know, you have

406
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: this thing called sim swapping or simjacking. So it seems

407
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: like that's kind of a big hole in the whole

408
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: like phone thing. So let's say I take Let's say

409
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: I was evil and I have a phone that's you know,

410
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I can open and unlocked. And let's say I found

411
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: your phone. Instead of unlocking your phone, I could just

412
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: literally pop that SIM card into my phone, start doing

413
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: some password resets with the one time authorization codes, and

414
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: all those codes would come to my phone because now this, uh,

415
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: this SIM card is in my phone that I can unlock.

416
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: So it kind of defeats the purpose of having a

417
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: phone that locks, so that AGAINESIM, someone can't take it out.

418
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: International roaming is gonna be is gonna be very very

419
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: bumpy road for a lot of people, especially the first year.

420
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: So some carriers lock the e sims to their network. Yeah,

421
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: even the SIM so A T and T for instance,

422
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: as far as I know, their eSIM will be locked.

423
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: If you buy that phone on a financing plan, they

424
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: will lock that eSIM to their network, which means as

425
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: long as you're paying off that phone, you can't use

426
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: that phone on another network, which you know, when you

427
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: go to a go for an international trip, you're gonna

428
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: be like, oh, let me go activate this cool eSIM

429
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: that's cheap for my trip to you know, grease, and

430
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, no, dice because it's locked. And so

431
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, as far as I know, I'm not sure

432
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: if T Mobile does. I don't think for eyes and

433
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: locks them. So it's interesting. But the point is, no

434
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: matter what carrier you have, you're gonna find out if

435
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: it's locked when you go to get that secondary plan.

436
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: So that's another thing that people are gonna kind of

437
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: get tripped up on. But otherwise I think it's a

438
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: good thing. I did switch my physical SIM to the eSIM,

439
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: and I had a little hiccup, so im my advice

440
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: to you if you're having a hiccup with activating the

441
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: eSIM from from a physical is in my account, I

442
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: had something turned on that was like basically account protection

443
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: where you can't hijack the SIM and take it to

444
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: a different device. And so once I turned that off,

445
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: my simcard activated. I don't know if that was it

446
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: or not, but that was the toggle that I changed,

447
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: and everything seemed to work all right. Next question of

448
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: the show, Dana says, good morning Rich Yesterday I tried

449
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: sending you an email for my computer. It did not send,

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: and this message keeps coming up on my screen. I

451
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: later tried sending the same message. It looks like it

452
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: sent for my phone. I can send emails from my

453
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: computer to others. This screen keeps coming up. Every minute

454
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I've hit the cancel button, it still keeps coming up.

455
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: Any suggestions to get rid of that email and message,

456
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: and she included a little screen shot that says can't

457
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: connect to the account and her Gmail account Dana, Okay, So, Dana,

458
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: what I think happened here is that you either change

459
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: your password for Gmail or you signed out of Gmail

460
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: on your different devices, and that's what's triggering this message.

461
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: So my advice just go ahead delete the account completely

462
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: from your computer. Go into your settings on the mac.

463
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: This yeah, this screenshot looks like a Mac and so

464
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: if you go to Internet accounts, just go ahead and

465
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: tap on the one that you're using and just delete it,

466
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: like press the little minus arrow at the bottom of

467
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: the or the I guess the bottom middle of the screen.

468
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: In that box, there's a plus sign and a minus sign.

469
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: You want to hit the minus sign. Hit the minus

470
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: sign and it will go away, and then you can

471
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: just readd the account. So the way that the Gmail

472
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: accounts work, when you delete them off your computer, you're

473
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: not deleting your email, so you'll be just fine. But

474
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: usually if you're having some sort of like login problem

475
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: like this actually happened to me, and I had, you know,

476
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: switched phones, and so my out Look account on the

477
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: new phone was really giving me trouble, like it wouldn't

478
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: log in even though I kept putting my password in

479
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: and my two factor, it just wouldn't like populate. And

480
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: so finally I just deleted the entire app and account,

481
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: because I first tried deleting the account still wouldn't work.

482
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: So I deleted the app. And when you delete the

483
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: app on the iPhone, it sort of resets the data,

484
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: and so that was a much easier way to fix

485
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: it than to try to keep, you know, putting in

486
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: this code like a thousand times and be like, what's

487
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: happening here, So sometimes you just have to delete and

488
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: start over. It's the oldest fix in the book, but

489
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: sometimes it is the best fix in the book. Good question, Dana,

490
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: thanks for emailing in. All right, what else should we

491
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: talk about? Let's talk about the Amazon Ghost Store. So

492
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: I keep thinking it sounds like Amazon Ghost that would

493
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: be very appropriate for Halloween. But one thing that I

494
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: like to do at my job is get access to

495
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: things before a lot of other people. And this was

496
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: an example of that. Amazon called me up and they said, hey,

497
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: do you want to take a tour of our new

498
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Amazon Ghost store and Wittier And I'm like absolutely. And

499
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, sometimes I don't really know

500
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: what the story is, but you just know that some

501
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: things just need to be covered. And I get it.

502
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: Amazon has a bunch of fresh stores, you know, the

503
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: grocery stores everywhere. But when a company like Amazon is

504
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: opening up something that's like a new concept like this

505
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: convenience store, you know, yeah, they have a bunch of

506
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: locations and other places, not not a bunch, but like

507
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven I think they said, but you know, in

508
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, it's new to people. And I primarily cover

509
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: my tech news from Los Angeles, and so there's a

510
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: lot of people in LA and so they don't know

511
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: what an Amazon Go is. Now. I went into one

512
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: in New York City and I did a little video

513
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: on it, like just for social media, and it was

514
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: still really cool. And so to get access where I

515
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: can actually go in there and like shoot it with

516
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: you know, a good camera and have some time and

517
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: talk to like you know, the people that kind of

518
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: run the store, that's that's really fun. And so this

519
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: is what I did in Whittier. It opened up this

520
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: week in Whittier, California, which is probably about an hour

521
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: outside La I'd say, I mean it's probably by by

522
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: mileage wise, it's probably like twenty miles or twenty five miles,

523
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: but like by driving it, it took me a solid hour,

524
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: so it's kind of kind of wild. It kind of

525
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: took a long time anyway. So Amazon Go is their

526
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: answer to seven to eleven. But it's got this just

527
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: walk out technology. Now, I will tell you the just

528
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: walk out technology is pretty slick. It really is. It's

529
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: these cameras in the ceiling that somehow, when you walk in,

530
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: you become a virtual shopping cart, which is kind of funny.

531
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: That's the way they described it to me. So when

532
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: you walk in, they don't use face recognition, but they

533
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: they basically identify you with enough attributes where it says, okay,

534
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: this guy that looks like this is shopping cart number seven.

535
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: And when I walk through the store and pick something up,

536
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: it says, okay, I'm shopping cart number seven. Just pick

537
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: that up. Oh he's holding it. Okay, Now we'll assign

538
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: that to his virtual car. And then you know, if

539
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: you put something back, it'll take it off your bill.

540
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: But if you walk out, that's it. It says, okay,

541
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: number seven just walked out. What did he finally choose? Okay,

542
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: let's charge him, and then they charge your Amazon account,

543
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: your credit card, or you can sign up with your

544
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: Palm as well with the Amazon one and it will

545
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, just charge your credit card too. That way,

546
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: don't need to be an Amazon Prime member anyway. So

547
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: this looked like a nice, shiny new kind of seven

548
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: to eleven, but with this high tech stuff. And they've

549
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: got a kitchen in there where they're making breakfast stuff

550
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: and lunch stuff. I tried some avocado toasts. They also

551
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: have coffee on demand, like it's one of those machines

552
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: that like grinds the coffee like fresh for you, which

553
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't think is going to work in this situation

554
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're going into a car. I mean,

555
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: that's great for when you're in there at like two PM,

556
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: right you just want a nice fresh coffee, But when

557
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: you're on your way to work, like you just want

558
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: to dump coffee from a big pitcher or jar or

559
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, dispenser into your cup and be on your way.

560
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: You don't want to wait for this thing to like

561
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: grind beans and make a cup for you. Like that

562
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: just not gonna fly. But they have like a beer

563
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: and wine section. By the way, did you know that

564
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Amazon has their own wine brand? And this is again

565
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: what I love about going to these things, and like

566
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, talking to these people that run these things,

567
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: is that it's called Cursive brand wine and so that's

568
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: from Amazon. Just kind of cool. I mean it's like

569
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: eight bucks a bottle. I didn't try any, I didn't

570
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: I didn't buy any, so I can't tell you how

571
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: good it is. But I think I should do a

572
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: segment on it, or not a segment, but I should

573
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: do a taste test because so many people wrote me

574
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: about it. I posted to my Instagram. They're like gonna

575
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: how was it, how was it? Okay, what else you've got?

576
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: Let's see what else? So you've got local vendors. So

577
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: this is what they were kind of like pushing, you know,

578
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of like making it seem like they're you're, you know,

579
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: they're one with the community, which you know, maybe they're trying.

580
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: But they had a bunch of local vendors. So a

581
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: bunch of like area bakeries made some of the goods,

582
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: like in the bread and the beers. Most of it

583
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: is like the snacks, of course, but you know, like

584
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: some of the you know, the beers and stuff. California

585
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: is a big beer and wine so clearly that's pretty

586
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: easy to source. I mean, you can say that any

587
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: grocery store sources a lot of local California brands if

588
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: you look down the beer and wine aisle, because so

589
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: many wines and beers are made in California. There's also

590
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: a place to return your packages. There was also a

591
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Blue Rhino propane exchange outside, which was self service, which

592
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: I had never seen before. I posted that to my

593
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: social media. Apparently that's the thing. I didn't know that

594
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: that would be so convenient in my neighborhood because I've

595
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: been known to drive around to like four or five

596
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: of those places to before I found one that had

597
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: propane back in the pandemic days. They also have self

598
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: service Pinkberry, froio, what else. I mean, it's just cool,

599
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: it's nice. I really have grown to love to just

600
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: walk out technology because it's so easy, it's so fast.

601
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: It's right most of the time. But I would say

602
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: out of I would say maybe one item out of

603
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: every trip is not something that we picked up, and

604
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: so I would, you know, have to just go into

605
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: the app and you say I didn't, I didn't pick

606
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: up that, you know whatever, you know whatever said you got.

607
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: Actually one story for my wife. She she someone in

608
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: the store asked her. She was at an Amazon store

609
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: and someone asked her to pick something off the shelf

610
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: for her, and so she did. It was like on

611
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: a high shelf and my wife could reach it and

612
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: the other person couldn't. She picked this off the shelf

613
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: and she gave it to this person. And then we

614
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: got home and I said, hey, did you buy this whatever?

615
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: It was some random things? She's like no, She's like,

616
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: I took that off the shelf for someone else. And

617
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: I said, ah, that's so funny. That's a little a

618
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 1: little bug in their system. And so I told that

619
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: to the Amazon people and they were like, yeah, I

620
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: guess yeah, that would be So now they've got to

621
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: figure out how you can, you know, be kind to

622
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: people in their stores and still not get charged for it.

623
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Or on the flip side, if you just want free

624
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: stuff when you go into an Amazon store, you just

625
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: just ask someone else to grab it for you. Be like,

626
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: I can't reach that shelf. Can you can you grab

627
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: that for me? And they're like, Rich, that's on the himself.

628
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: What's the problem. And you'd be like, ah, I'm just

629
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not feeling it today, all right, So

630
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: Amazon go, uh kind of a cool idea. I don't

631
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: think they're going to take over seven to eleven anytime soon.

632
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: In fact, I will tell you this, as good as

633
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: the just walk out technology is. Uh. It was installed

634
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: in the Newark Airport when I was flying out a

635
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. It was like one of those

636
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: little like you know, like a little Hudson stand or

637
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: whatever they you know, the little place where you buy

638
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: waters and stuff. And I thought it was pretty cool,

639
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: but I guess not other people thought it was cool

640
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: because it was gone. The next time it went it

641
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: went back to a regular checkout, and so I asked

642
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: the woman that was working. I said, what happened to

643
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the Amazon just walk out? She goes, ah, no, no, no,

644
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh no, no one liked it.

645
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: She's like no, It's like, oh interesting. So I don't

646
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: think it works everywhere, but it definitely is a new

647
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: way to shop that is pretty unique and pretty efficient.

648
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: So and in a convenience store, you want to be

649
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: in out very fast and you don't want to wait

650
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: in line. So that is kind of cool. We'll see

651
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: how it works next. Next area othern California to get

652
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: it is going to be Torrance, California. All right, uh?

653
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Roy Roy with the next question for the show. He says, Hey, Rich,

654
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: does it hurt the MacBook Pro laptop by turning it

655
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: off every evening before going to bed? Or should you

656
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: just close the lid? Thank you, Roy, great question, Roy.

657
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: I would just close the lid. And I don't know

658
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: if this is still a thing because most hard drives

659
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: these days are solid state, So but I will say

660
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of issues happen during startup

661
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: right the startup, and you know, maybe not so much shutdown,

662
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: but definitely start up. And so you know, when you're

663
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: when you're starting up your computer every day, I feel

664
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: like you're putting it at risk. Now I may be wrong,

665
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: I may not really. Yeah, that may not be a

666
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: thing anymore, but I would argue, what's the point of

667
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: turning it off every day? I mean, I've had my

668
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: laptop now for Let's see how old this thing is.

669
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: It's almost time. I'm waiting for the new M two

670
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: chip on the MacBook Pro sixteen inch, but I don't

671
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: know if we'll see it, hopefully soon. This is from

672
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, so this is three years old. So the

673
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: thing is, like, I've had this computer for three years.

674
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: I could probably tell you specifically. I might have shut

675
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: it down twice in three years now. Restarting sure, a

676
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: couple of times when you install some software updates stuff

677
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: like that, but like physically saying I'm going to shut

678
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: my computer down now, Like I can't tell you. I mean,

679
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: I think the last time I did it was when

680
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: I went to Rome and I was out of the

681
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: house for a week, and so that was a reason

682
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: to shut it down like completely, because I was like, well,

683
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: the battery's going to probably drip to death anyway, so

684
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, drip drain, and when I come back, it's

685
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna be dead. So I'd rather shut it down properly

686
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: than have it have to go through that thing, right,

687
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: So I would say, don't don't shut it off every night. Now.

688
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: If you want to shut it off once a month, fine,

689
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a power thing, you know, the

690
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: computers are pretty good at managing their own power. I

691
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's really gonna be sapping a lot of

692
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: power when it's in sleep mode. Yeah, some power is

693
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: gonna be consumed, obviously, but I think I just think

694
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: it's better to just leave it on. I know, if

695
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: you look on Android phones, they've got in the menu

696
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: you can see sort of the uptime of that phone,

697
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: and so I know androids are a little more finicky sometimes,

698
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: especially in the past with how you know, when I

699
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: was robbing them and stuff like that. But you know,

700
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: you would you'd pride yourself on how long you could

701
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: keep that uptime, you know, where you hadn't restarted your phone,

702
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes it would be a challenge. Now with the iPhone,

703
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: it's like game over. You don't need to restart that

704
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: or shut it down ever. I mean, the thing just

705
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: like works. It just it's like a warhorse. It just

706
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: goes and goes and goes and goes. So, you know,

707
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: but the computer, I don't think you need to shut

708
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: it down. I think you just just keep it going

709
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: and I think you'll be a okay there, Roy, thanks

710
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: for the question. I know, Roy send sends me a

711
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: lot of questions, so I don't get to all of them,

712
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: but I do try. All right, let's talk about Google Photos.

713
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite apps. If not, I'm

714
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: trying to think what is my favorite app? It might

715
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: be Google Photos. And I have some beef with Google

716
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Photos because the number one thing that is really obnoxious

717
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: about Google Photos is that it does not give you

718
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: a way to back up your photos. Now, yes, you

719
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: can argue that Google takeout handles that, but Google takeout

720
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: is way too complicated. I'm not gonna sit there and

721
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: download thirty five files at five fifty terabytes each or

722
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: whatever the not terabytes, fifty gigabytes each or whatever it is.

723
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: I tried to do the takeout thing once with my giant,

724
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, two point five terabyte collection of photos, and

725
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: there's just no way. I have to spend all day

726
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: trying to download that, and it's just it's just ridiculous.

727
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: So otherwise, I love Google Photos. And I was talking

728
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: about this actually on my Instagram because someone emailed me.

729
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: I think it was last week on the show where

730
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: they said, you know I deleted a picture from or

731
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: where is it? Do I have that in this show?

732
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: I might actually have this question in this show. I

733
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: think I might. Yep, I do. Yeah. So a person

734
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: basically deleted their iCloud pictures or pictures off their phone.

735
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: It deleted from my cloud. And I said, look, this

736
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: is why I like Google Photos, because it's sort of

737
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: a one way sync. The photos go up and they

738
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: stay there. Think about like this giant net right up

739
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: in the sky, and you throw a ball, it goes

740
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: through the net and it comes back down. It's going

741
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: to hit the net on the way down because it's

742
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: only a one way net, right It like kind of

743
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: burst through the net on the way up and then

744
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: it collects it there. That's the way I think of

745
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Google Photos. It's like your pictures go up into the

746
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: cloud and they don't come back down unless you want

747
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: to download them at some point. But The way that

748
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: iCloud works is everything on your phone is linked like

749
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: you're when you look through your phone at that iCloud,

750
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: it's like looking at the cloud, but also on your phone,

751
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: and it's the delineation between the two can be very

752
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: tricky for people, especially a novice user who's not really thinking, like, oh,

753
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: if I delete this picture, it's deleting out of iCloud.

754
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: Like no, yeah, it's it's deleting it everywhere. So keep

755
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: that in mind. Anyway, I don't know what my point was.

756
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: I'll get to that back the iCloud stuff in a second.

757
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: But so one of my favorite apps is Google Photos.

758
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: I just wish they would give me. Here's what I want.

759
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: I want a hard drive, like a standalone hard drive

760
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: that I can plug into the wall with Wi Fi

761
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: and it I just literally scan a QR code on

762
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: it with my phone. It links it up to my WiFi,

763
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: It links it up to my Google account, and next

764
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: thing you know, that is just twenty four seven sinking

765
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: my Google Photos account. That's it. Every picture, every video

766
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,479
Speaker 1: that I upload, it just sinks to that hard drive.

767
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: I never need to go onto that hard drive ever,

768
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: unless I wake up one day and Google is gone,

769
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, glad I have this little hard

770
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: drive plugged in that's always sinking, because I don't think

771
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. But Google, for some reason, does not

772
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: give us an easy way to, you know, make sure

773
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: we're protected in case something happens to them. And I'll

774
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm at risk and I need to, you know,

775
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: make sure that that's not a thing, because that's really bad.

776
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: And anyway, so the point is, Google, just please make

777
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: that if anyone from Google is listening, just just tell

778
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: your colleagues like hard drive, Wi Fi, plug it in,

779
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: scan QR code with the Google Photos app, links it up,

780
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: sinks everything. You can buy them in a terabyte, five terabytes,

781
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: ten terabytes, you know whatever. It's like a mini server,

782
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: but just for Google Photos. And it's just super simple.

783
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think it's going to ruin

784
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: your Google Photos business. Like I'll still pay the twenty

785
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: five bucks a month I pay to keep my stuff

786
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: in there, but I just would I would feel better

787
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: knowing I had a physical copy of my pictures in

788
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: my house. Okay. Anyway, all this to say that they're

789
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: making memories memories is really like one of the best

790
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: ways to experience your pictures on the uh on Google Photos,

791
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of times you don't look

792
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: at your pictures. You know, you're not going to scroll

793
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: to a random date and look at your pictures. But

794
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: it does this thing at the top where it sort

795
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: of makes a feed of you know, like right now,

796
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: I've got similar shots, I've got spotlight on my wife,

797
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I've got my kids, Cooper, Tino, my niece and nephew,

798
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: similar shots, cooking shots, recent highlights, and then one year ago,

799
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: two years ago, three four, five, sixty seven, all the

800
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: way into sixteen years ago, and then something called in

801
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: the woods, so you can flip through all these. Now

802
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: Google says they are improving this. So number one, apparently

803
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to scroll through your photos

804
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: up and down, which is more like TikTok. So that's

805
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: why I call it your own personal memories TikTok, which

806
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: is really cool because you're on TikTok half the day,

807
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: well some people are, and so why not take the

808
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, the five six seven minutes each day to

809
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: scroll through your Google Photos? Now the one little I

810
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: know I said only had one problem Google Photos, but

811
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: I do have another problem when I am looking at

812
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: a memory on Google Photos. Okay, my options when I

813
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: bring them up are view day, order photo, hide, and

814
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: add to album. Where is the delete button? I just

815
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: need a simple way. When I see a picture in

816
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: the Memories and I'm like, what the heck kind of

817
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: picture is this? Just delete it. I just want to

818
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: be able to delete that right from the memory. I

819
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: don't want to have to like go to that day

820
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: and look at all those pictures from that day. I

821
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: just want to be able to delete that picture. So please, please, Google,

822
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: just add a delete button to the memories when you're

823
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: looking at a photo on a memory. Okay, what else

824
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: are they gonna do? They're gonna do more of those

825
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: cinematic photos, which kind of bring your pictures to life

826
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: in a three D effect. I personally despise as a

827
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: really strong word. I personally really don't like those pictures.

828
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: I think they look weird and creepy. But I'm reading

829
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: the blog here and Google says three D cinematic photos

830
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: have quickly become one of our most saved visual effects

831
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: since they launched in twenty two. I really can't believe that. Okay,

832
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: but soon they say, Uh, they're gonna do full cinematic

833
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: memories that transform multiple still photos into an end to

834
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: end cinematic experience taking you back to that moment in time.

835
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: There's also gonna be music. Okay, that could be kind

836
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: of fun. Uh. They're also doing more styles in the

837
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: uh when you make like a collage of your pictures,

838
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool. Uh, and more stylistic pictures

839
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: in general, like sometimes if you notice some of the

840
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: pictures have like a style to them, they'll do that

841
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: as well. What else, what's there other things they're doing.

842
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: Let's see, I should have highlighted this stuff. I didn't.

843
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: Now now you just hear me reading a blog post.

844
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: How much fun is that? Uh? Okay? Anyway, so that's it.

845
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: So I don't see where where the scrolling up and

846
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: down came from. I thought I thought that was on

847
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: this blog post, but I don't see it. Hmm interesting,

848
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: oh uh weird? Okay, Well, I don't know. I thought

849
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: I saw that on this blog post and I I

850
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: let me see. Yeah, I don't even see the word

851
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: down at all. Huh. Okay, Well, I don't know if

852
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: I made that up, but I'm still calling it a

853
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: TikTok for your memories. Okay, it's still it's still a

854
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: TikTok for your memories, even if they don't let you

855
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: scroll up and down. But I thought I could have

856
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: sworn someone said that you can do that, like one

857
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: of the blogs that wrote about this. But I guess

858
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: that's what I get for not double checking before I

859
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: talked about that. Anyway, Uh, Google Photos memories, if you

860
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: haven't looked at them, it's the strip of pictures at

861
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: the top of your Google Photos collection. And if you're

862
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: not using Google Photos, you know, I'm not gonna tell

863
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: you what you have to use. But it's it's really

864
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: phenomenal to me. Like I can search for anything in

865
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: my photo collection and find it in about less than

866
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: a minute. I mean most of the time, it's like

867
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: one or you know, five seconds. I mean, it's uncanny

868
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: how good the search is. It's like a Google search,

869
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: but for your personal photo collection and especially even like

870
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: photo like people that are in videos, like old videos

871
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: that you digitize, you can go through and like find

872
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: like your grandfather, your great grandfather or a relative and

873
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: like see them, like it will identify them in those videos.

874
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: So even if you're at like a family party and

875
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: you you know, you you got a video digitized from

876
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: like your fourth birthday party, and you know Aunt Edna

877
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: was there. You can see her in that video, like

878
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: you know. It's just it's such a magical thing that

879
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: I just can't speak highly enough of it. So Google,

880
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: really really nice job. But please do the suggestions. I asked.

881
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: That's that's what I need. All right, let's talk about

882
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: what this person was was referring to. Let's see here,

883
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: where is it? Okay? No, no oh? Jim said, Hey, Rich,

884
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: I hope you can help. I offloaded all my photos

885
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: to iCloud, then proceeded to delete them from my iPhone seven.

886
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,919
Speaker 1: I know, I know now they're gone from my iCloud

887
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: accounts or any way I can recover these priceless picks.

888
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim. So not really, Jim, because it's there.

889
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. A couple ways to look for these.

890
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: Number One, I would look in your recently deleted album

891
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: So if you go into photos albums and then recently

892
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: deleted because you deleted them, they should be in there.

893
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe they went away out of there,

894
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: but that that would be the first place I look.

895
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: And you might be pleasantly surprised that they're still in

896
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: there because they're supposed to stay in there for about

897
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: I think thirty to forty days, So definitely check there.

898
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: Go into your photos app, open up the albums, and

899
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: then scroll all the way to the bottom, and in

900
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: iOS sixteen, the recently deleted folder is now password protected,

901
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: so you'll have to use face ID or some other

902
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: authorization to get into that folder. For good reason. You know,

903
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: you might have deleted something that you don't want other

904
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: people to see. Alternatively, maybe you made a backup of

905
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: your phone to your computer. You might be one of

906
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: those people that still plugs their computer or their phone

907
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: into their computer to make a full backup. So if

908
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: you have that, you can restore your phone using that backup.

909
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: But that would only work if you backed up your

910
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: phone before you before you wiped it, and then you

911
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: had and you didn't do a new backup since, so

912
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: that's a little trickier. But yes, the lesson learned here

913
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: is that again the option that you want to use

914
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: in on the iPhone is under iCloud under photo Library,

915
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: and it's called Optimize iPhone Storage or something to that effect.

916
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: You want to turn that on, because downloading keep originals

917
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: means that your phone storage is going to fill up.

918
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: No matter how much iCloud you have. You might be

919
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: chasing iCloud storage saying Rich, I'm I have a terabyte

920
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: of iCloud storage, and my iPhone keeps running out of storage. Well,

921
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: that's because you don't have this optimized photo or phone

922
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: storage turned on. And what optimized phone storage does is

923
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: instead of keeping every picture from your iCloud account on

924
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: your phone physically, it keeps representations of them, little thumbnails

925
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: of them, and if you ever need one, it just

926
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: downloads it on the fly from the cloud. So in

927
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: this case, you can really have unlimited storage on your

928
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: iPhone because your iPhone is really just mirroring what's in

929
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: the cloud, and the cloud could be potentially unlimited storage.

930
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you're limited by how much Apple will

931
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: give you its storage, but the thing is you can

932
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: really have more on your phone than the storage. And

933
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people just they put their hands up,

934
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: they don't get it, they don't really understand. But your

935
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: phone is sort of a window into iCloud. And that's

936
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 1: what I don't like about it, because it's way too

937
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: like one to one that's why like third party cloud

938
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: services that, like I said, Google Photos, one Edrive, I

939
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: really don't care, Amazon Photos, Iedrive, whatever you want to use,

940
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: you know, just use something that's more cloud based than

941
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: just linked iCloud is just too complicated. It's gotten way

942
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: too complicated for the average person to use it. And

943
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. Okay, let's talk about some

944
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: thing else. Sorry you lost those pictures. I really hope

945
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: you didn't. That's really hope you didn't. Okay. iOS sixteen

946
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: couple of tips and tricks since it's brand new. So

947
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: I just talked about the recently deleted photos folder that

948
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: has been around forever or I don't know, it's been

949
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: around for a while. But now iOS sixteen has added

950
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: a recently deleted folder to messages, and so you can

951
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, you may not realize that your messages when

952
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: you're deleting them are still on your phone. So now

953
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: if you go into messages and you tap edit in

954
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: the upper left hand corner, there is an option for

955
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: recently deleted and I can look in here, and I've

956
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: got all kinds of messages in here. Wow, And so

957
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: you can see your recently deleted messages and you can

958
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: delete them all or you can recover them all and

959
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: they go away after about anywhere from thirty to forty days.

960
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: And so if you're looking for something that you deleted again,

961
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: just open up your messages upper left hand corner, tap

962
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: edit and then it says show recently deleted. That is

963
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: new and iOS sixteen, So if you're not running iOS sixteen,

964
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to run that to get that new feature.

965
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: Another new feature that a lot of people are liking

966
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: is haptic typing, and this is again new and iOS sixteen.

967
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: And so if you want your phone to sort of

968
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: vibrate a little bit when you press the keyboard keys,

969
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: you can turn this on. This has been an Android

970
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: feature forever and it's just coming to iPhone now, and

971
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: it's in iOS sixteen, so it will work on various

972
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: older phones. But it just uses the same thing when

973
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you feel like some sort of vibration

974
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: from your phone, same thing, except now it's for the keyboard.

975
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: And so if we go into settings, okay, let me

976
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: see exactly where this is settings, and we go into

977
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: sound and haptics. It's not under the keyboard. You would

978
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: think it's the keyboard settings, but no, it sounds and haptics,

979
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: which is under notifications, and then you scroll up it

980
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: says keyboard feedback and you have sound haptic or both.

981
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: And so back in the day when the iPhone first

982
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: came out, I thought that the clickity click sound on

983
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: the iPhone keyboard was so cool. I mean, it was

984
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: so The keyboard on the iPhone was just so great.

985
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you remember this, but the

986
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: keys when you press them, they used to get bigger.

987
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: It was almost like one of those old school typewriters

988
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: where the letter would like come up. I don't know

989
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: what you call it, like a rotary typewriter. I have

990
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: no idea, but it's like the letter was like a

991
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: big I don't know, like it was like hit the paper.

992
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: It would like come up. It was like but it

993
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: would like it would you know, it was like every

994
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: letter was on like some sort of little metal rod

995
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: that would like pop up and hit the paper. And

996
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: so when you first had the iPhone, that's what it

997
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: reminded me of. The keyboard. The letter used to look

998
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: like that, like it was like a It almost looked

999
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: like an old school, you know, keyboard on a typewriter

1000
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: that you know, you'd press and it would like come

1001
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: up bigger, and then it would go back down and

1002
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: it would make that cool clickety clackity sound. And now

1003
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: my phone's always on silence, so I never hear the

1004
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: clickity clackity. But I do like having the feedback, the

1005
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: haptic feedback. So turn it on if you want to

1006
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: try it out and see what it's all about. You

1007
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: can always turn it off if you don't like it.

1008
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: But it is kind of fun. I think it's it's

1009
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: good and it's bad. You might be so used to

1010
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: typing without it, it might make you a slower typer, or

1011
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: you might end up loving it. So try it out.

1012
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: It's good to have options, right, Okay, let's see, I

1013
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: think we skipped a couple questions here. Oh, Bobby says rich.

1014
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Have you had a chance to review

1015
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: the Aura ring? What features can you use if you

1016
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: don't sign up for the membership? Oh? Good question, Bobby.

1017
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: So I did get an or a ring for my

1018
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: wife for my birthday, and so I you know, I

1019
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: told her, I said, look, don't buy me tackle come on,

1020
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: like I I will get tech that I need, like

1021
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't need you to buy me tech, like I

1022
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: will choose the tech that I need like you you

1023
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: you concentrat. She's a very good gift giver, but I,

1024
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of seek out the tech that

1025
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: I want and I'll get it. And so it's, you know,

1026
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: she heard me talking about the ore ring and how

1027
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: I wanted it, and so she just went out and

1028
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: got it, which is fine. It's a really cool thing.

1029
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: It's a it's a three hundred dollars ring and it

1030
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: looks like a regular ring, but it has a it

1031
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: has like a whole bunch of sensors inside. So let's see,

1032
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: can I tell you what sensors it has? So it

1033
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: has activity and fitness tracking, it's got sleep tracking. It's

1034
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: got activity tracking. I think I said that, it's got

1035
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: audio meditations. Oh the other it's got temperature sensing, it's

1036
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 1: got oxygen. I mean, it's got a lot of sensors on.

1037
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: I wish I could find like a oh okay, here's

1038
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: it's got oh yeah, yeah, oxygen sensing, twenty four to

1039
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: seven heart rate trends, and so really they're big thing

1040
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: is this thing called like your readiness score. And so

1041
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: it kind of looks at your whole body like everything

1042
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: that it's measuring, and it comes up with a score

1043
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: of when you wake up. It's like how ready are

1044
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: you to take on the day. And so in the

1045
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: three days I wore it before I realized I got

1046
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: too small of a size. That readiness score really was

1047
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: interesting because the two days I got like a ninety something,

1048
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: but another day I got like a seventy or eighty,

1049
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: and I could definitely tell my mood and energy was

1050
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: not as good on that day. So I never really

1051
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: thought about the correlation between having a rough day the

1052
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: day before and how you feel the next day, right

1053
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: like if you went to the gym, or you did

1054
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: a big workout, or you didn't get much sleep or

1055
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: all the above combined or jet lag or alcohol or anything.

1056
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: And so this ring is sort of more kind of

1057
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: a holistic approach. It's not as much as like the

1058
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, where it's like I want to track a

1059
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: workout right now and see my heart rate and see

1060
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: my you know whatever. This is more of like a

1061
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: whole body kind of experience, like you want to see

1062
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: how are you doing as a as an individual? Rich

1063
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: DeMuro and so, you know, I thought it was pretty cool.

1064
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: So I'm still not sold on whether I'm gonna keep it.

1065
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: I think my time is ticking down on my return window,

1066
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: but it is. It is really interesting. I think that

1067
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a little redundant with having an

1068
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: Apple Watch. That kind of annoys me. But I also

1069
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: like the fact that it's I don't need an Apple Watch,

1070
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: but I kind of love my Apple Watch. So I

1071
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: don't know. So we'll see. So the answer your question,

1072
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: I don't have a I don't have a decision just

1073
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: yet on the Aura ring, but and when it comes

1074
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: to the the membership, right, so I need to I

1075
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: need to see. I know it's six dollars a month,

1076
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 1: so let's see. What does the membership do? Detailed sleep analysis,

1077
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven heart rate tracking, third party apps, integration,

1078
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: temperature monitoring, blood oxygen so interesting. Without membership, you cannot

1079
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: access the Aura API, but you can still download your

1080
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: data through the web. Uh yeek, that's not good. That's see.

1081
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: That's kind of weird. They don't even put like a

1082
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, the membership fee on their like homepage like

1083
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: it's a little bit anyway, So interesting, Can I use

1084
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: my Aura without a membership. Oh wow. The Gen two

1085
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: ring does not require membership, but Gen three does. You'll

1086
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: have limited functionality, so yeah, you do. You do kind

1087
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: of need the membership, which is six bucks a month.

1088
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of a lot to just know you're already

1089
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 1: paying for this thing, and I gotta pay forever. So anyway,

1090
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: good question. I will have a full review. I'm gonna,

1091
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, get the new size in hopefully soon, and

1092
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: then I will I will, you know, Once I do that,

1093
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out and put it on TV and

1094
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. All right, good question? All right?

1095
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: Do I have anything else to talk about that I

1096
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: didn't mention the Kindle? Did I mention the Kindle? New

1097
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: Kindle and Kindle Kids? So what do you need to

1098
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: know about the new Kindle? Not much. If you need

1099
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: a new Kindle, you go on the website, you buy it.

1100
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: Kindles last forever for the most part, so it's not

1101
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: like people are buying these things. But the one nice

1102
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: thing is that the standard Kindle, the basic bottom of

1103
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: the line, bottom of the line entry level, I should say,

1104
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: that's a nicer way of saying it right now has

1105
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: USBC charging, So that's a win. Finally, one less cable

1106
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: to carry around. My Kindle still has the micro USB,

1107
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: so that's the one cable when I travel I need

1108
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: to carry still is micro USB, lightning and USBC. I

1109
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: can't wait for the day when it's all USBC. That

1110
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: is going to be such a great day. So the

1111
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: new Kindle ninety nine ninety nine. My advice, never ever,

1112
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: ever pay full price for a Amazon device. They go

1113
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: on sale quite regularly. Amazon is more in the data

1114
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 1: business and the added sales business of selling you books

1115
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: on this thing. So do not pay full price for

1116
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,479
Speaker 1: an Amazon product. Wait for it to go on sale.

1117
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: You can use an app like Honey to track the price.

1118
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: You can use something like Camel Camel Camel, but just

1119
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: set a price alert when that price drops, that's when

1120
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: you buy it, or buy it during the holidays, buy

1121
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: it during Prime Day, buy it during a sale. Do

1122
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: not pay full price for Amazon products. It's just not

1123
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: worth it. They go on sale regularly. Let's see, so

1124
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: the bottom of the entry level has the you know,

1125
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: three hundred resolution, so that's like a higher resolution display,

1126
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: three hundred ppi, so three times more than before, three

1127
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: times more pixels. I should say, I don't think it's three.

1128
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: I don't think the old was one hundred PPI, two

1129
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: times of storage with sixteen gigs now six weeks of

1130
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: battery life USBC charging dark Mode. It's got the front

1131
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: light which is adjustable. And there's also a new Kindle

1132
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: Kids for one hundred and twenty dollars. Don't forget the

1133
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: price of these Kindles at one and one hundred and twenty. Well,

1134
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: not for the kids, but one hundred dollars is the

1135
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: ads supported version of that Kindle, So that means when

1136
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: you on your lock screen you're gonna have ads. If

1137
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't want ads, you can pay twenty bucks to

1138
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: get rid of them, which I highly recommend because then

1139
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: you can show the cover of the book that you're

1140
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: reading on your home screen, which I think is a

1141
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: much better use of the Kindle home screen than seeing

1142
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: random ads every time it's just sitting there. The other

1143
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: thing is that you can get four months of Kindle

1144
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: Unlimited membership included, so that's like basically a forty dollars

1145
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: value if you use books that are on Kindle Unlimited.

1146
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: But there you go, all right, oh my gosh, I

1147
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: actually think that sound means it is the end of

1148
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: the show. Can't believe it. Man, oh man, that went

1149
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: so fast? Did you have fun? That's gonna do it?
