WEBVTT - What's new with Apple Watch Series 7 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.800 Not one, not two, but three tech events in one 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.479 week from Apple, Google, and Samsung. Can You Handle It? 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:22.560 Tyle revamps its lineup, and best Buy introduces total Tech Everywhere. 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.880 Plus your tech questions Answered? What's going on? I'm Rich 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.520 Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.480 I talk about the tech stuff I think you should 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.280 know about. It's also the place where I answer the 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:39.440 questions you send me. That's right, you right there listening. Yeah, 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.880 don't look around, it's you. My name is Rich Smiro, 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.800 tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Hopefully 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.040 you are having a fantastic day. Hope all as well. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.400 Right before I came on to the show, McDonald's announced 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:59.760 they are going to have the mcplant burger at eight 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.400 restaurants in the US starting November three. They worked with 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.760 Beyond on the patty, which is made from peas, rice 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.400 and potatoes. It's got all the regular toppings, including American cheese, 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:15.920 so not really a vegan dish here, But locations that 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.760 they're going to test it include Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and California. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.480 Kind of a cross section of the US. Nothing on 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.920 the East coast. Interesting, of course, I am going to 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.679 try to get my hands on one of these burgers 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.200 to taste test it, because I if you follow me, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.480 you know that I love tasting the new I don't 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.960 want to call it fake food because it's food, but 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.000 and I don't want to call it franken food because 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.720 you know it's it's not necessarily manufacturer well I guess 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.840 it is, but it's made from things in the in 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.760 the world. It's not something that's like made in a 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.640 chemical factory. And I've been to these the Beyond, like 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.120 plant where they come up with this stuff, and it's 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.000 really fascinating. They kind of like they take little cross 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.520 sections of all kinds of food and figure out how 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.760 to reproduce it, or I guess recreate it using different things, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.560 you know, different seasonings, different plants. So it's really fascinating. Anyway, 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.880 I can't wait. Maybe I'm just hungry, but it looks 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.239 delicious to me, and I'm up for you know, I'm 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.440 fine with a regular burger, but I'm always fine with 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.160 a plant burger as well. So the thing is a 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.200 lot of the comments on my Facebook page are quite negative, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.600 but the reality is these things can coexist and we're 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.600 not trying to replace meat. We're just trying to give 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.160 people an option, especially in places where you know you 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.440 may not be able to have all the options that 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.080 you want. I think I've talked about this before, but anyway, 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.280 we've got a lot to talk about in today's show, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.120 so let's just get right to it. Next week, a big, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.359 big event happening or three, well probably two big events 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.600 or just one, depending on how you look at it. 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.560 But there's going to be an Apple event on Monday, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.120 then a Google event on Tuesday for the Pixel, and 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.360 then a Samsung event on Wednesday. And of course all 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.760 three companies except for Google, haven't really said what we're 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.320 gonna see. But Apple, according to nine to five Mac, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:14.720 expecting redesigned fourteen and sixteen inch MacBook pros, which I've 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.360 talked about how much I can't wait to get a 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.359 new MacBook Pro sixteen with the new M one chip. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:20.960 And this is gonna be the M one X, which 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.160 is gonna be a little bit modified, probably even better. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.120 But now that push comes to shove and I have 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.360 to spend my hard earned cash, I don't know. I'm like, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.200 I think my computer's just fine. I don't know if 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.960 I need that, but you know I want it, so 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.119 we'll see. And since I'm not selling my old devices 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.440 anymore because I have so many kids, I have to 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.680 trade them, you know, pass them down to them. So 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.160 it's not like I have any trade in money either. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.640 So this is this gonna be a big expenditure, but 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.080 we'll see. I don't know if I'm gonna do it 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.920 just yet. We'll have to see. Like I said, they'll 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.200 have the new M one x chip which might support 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.360 up to thirty two gigs a RAM, which you need 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.640 on the MacBook Pro. Mine's got sixteen and it it's fine, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.480 but it could be better. Return of mag safe to 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.760 plug it in, which is the magnetic connector that not 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.720 the same as the thing on the iPhone, but similar. 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.600 I mean it's all magnetic charging. And then let's see 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.600 HDMI port. They say they're bringing back in an SD 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.560 card slot, which would be really handy. No more touch bar, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.599 which touch bar is horrible. There's no reason for it. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.279 It's literally the worst thing on this computer. And I 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.200 don't understand why they dedicated a tiny strip at the 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.680 top to it. There's just no need. And if you're 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.000 not getting a new computer, we'll find out when mac 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.920 Os Monterey comes out. That should launch probably any day 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.120 now in October. And then let's see, we've got Google 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.200 with the Google Pixel. Very excited for that. You know, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.600 I'm also thinking about getting one of those Google Pixel six. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.279 I'll probably go for the pro. If I get it, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.120 we'll see. I definitely don't have to review it because 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.479 I'm curious what the camera is all about. But that's exciting. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.640 A lot of that been leaked, but we don't know 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.560 the full picture just yet. We know a lot of 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.440 bits and pieces, but until reviewers get them in their hands, 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.360 which some of them probably already have for the past 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.760 couple of weeks under embargo, we won't know what the 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.919 capabilities of that camera really is. And then, finally, not 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.960 to be left out, Samsung says, oh, we're doing one too, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:25.000 Galaxy Unpacked Part two, And I don't know this one 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.160 is a little sketchy because they say it's very I mean, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.440 Samsung's already released all of their big devices for the year, 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.359 so there's not like they need to do something else. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:40.320 But they say, our users live life in so many colorful, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.280 interesting and unique ways. As such, the technology they use 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:49.080 every day should reflect their individual out individuality. Come see 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.360 how Samsung is opening up new experiences for self expression 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.680 through technology. That to me sounds like it's not that exciting. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.279 Some people are speculating that it's different color phone. I 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.480 don't know. We'll see, but they're not really promising too 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.839 much there, so it's not like it's that big of 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.640 a deal. All right, Let's get right to the first 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.920 question of the day. Joyce says, my name is Joyce. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.960 My husband and I watch you in Saint Louis. We're 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.640 interested in buying a home security system for the outside 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.440 of our home, preferably three cameras. We do not want 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.160 inside cameras. We're in our sixties and pretty overwhelmed with 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.680 all the choices options. Don't know if I can get 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.560 recommendations from you on good, reliable system that will help 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.720 us monitor the outside of our home, anything would be appreciated. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.640 Thank you so much, Joyce. Well, Joyce, there's a couple 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.640 different may I mean, there's so many different cameras. You're right, 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.360 there are many different brands out there, from Google to 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.680 to Whys to Blink to you know, even like the 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.359 simply safes of the world, like if you want like 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.840 a full alarm system. Then of course you have the 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.520 wise cameras, the ring cameras, I mean there's a lot, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.440 But then you have Arlow. Of course you have SWAN 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.000 for like the actual like DVR systems. But I would 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.000 say I would say it comes down to two things 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.760 that you need to decide. Do you want to record 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.960 this footage the entire time, like twenty four to seven 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.680 you can go back and see anything that happened on 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.200 those cameras, or do you just want events to be recorded? 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.480 And events mean when someone walks in front of your camera, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.040 it will trigger a recording for sixty to ninety seconds. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.320 So if you want the simplest and the cheapest solution, 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.360 I think for that is definitely going to be the 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.240 ring cameras and also the most elaborate when it comes 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.360 to setting them up. Because you say you want three cameras, 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.720 you can easily put up three ring cameras either with 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.280 solar or with a battery and just replace that battery, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.440 which I wouldn't fully recommend, or you can plug them 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.120 in a do they make an outdoor that you can 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.360 plug in? I'm not sure, but I think you would 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.560 just go solar in that circumstance. So that's option one. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.400 I think that's going to be your best option. You 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.200 can see all the cameras on the same page. They 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.120 work really well. Ring is very proven. Once you fall 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:03.800 in love with the Ring cameras, you'll buy a whole 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.400 bunch of other stuff from Ring as well. Now, your 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.280 other option, which I think is your cheapest option, and 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.920 this will give you twenty four to seven recording, is 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.440 going to be the wisecams and so they've got a 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.400 Wisecam outdoor bundle. You get the bundle which will include 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.400 a little base station inside and then one camera, and 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.360 then you can purchase two other additional cameras that will 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.600 work with that wireless base station. And these cameras are 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.560 they are battery operated, so you know you'd have to 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.640 decide if that's right for you. You can also get 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.800 a solar panel for them if you want, but I 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.400 don't think they make a native one. I think you 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.160 have to buy like a I tested one from a 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:47.080 third party company which worked just fine. And that's your 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.640 second option, And that does give you the option to 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.880 put a micro SD card into the base station and 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.800 record the cameras twenty four to seven, So that will 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.440 use significant amounts of battery. So I would say, if 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.640 you want twenty four seven recording, you're gonna have to 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.280 invest neither these solar panels or the plug in cameras. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.920 And Whyse does make cameras that plug in outdoors as well, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.160 it's just not the outdoor camera. It's just the Whyse. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.280 I think it's the version three just works indoors outdoors, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.160 so you can put that outside. So you can do 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.480 that too. Now if you want something that's a little 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.000 bit more expensive, but let Google handle sort of the recording. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.000 Twenty four to seven. Those are gonna be your nest 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.760 cams and they just came out, the whole lineup of 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.280 new ones and those will record twenty four to seven 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.840 onto Google servers, and it's really easy to sort of 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.840 go back and see what's going on and make clips 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.720 and all that good stuff. And that's I think it's 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.440 from six to twelve dollars a month for that. You 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.800 will pay a monthly service. With Ring you will pay 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.800 a monthly service as well, But I think it's just 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.520 three dollars a month for the for the entire system, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.720 you know, for all those cameras unlimited, So those are 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.000 your main choices. I would probably go with RING, just 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.760 because most people just need the standard event based recording. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.439 They don't need it to be rolling twenty four to 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.280 seven unless you've got some sort of high security operation 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.800 happening at your house or around your house, or neighbors 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.840 that you don't like, or something that you know you 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.760 want to keep an eye on all the time. But 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.160 I would just go with RING personally or wise. I 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.040 would just compare those two and see which ones you 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.720 like better. All right, let's talk Apple Watch. Apple Watch 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:30.280 Series seven launched or launches depending on when you're listening 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.719 to this, on Friday, October fifteenth. It is available. I've 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.760 had it on my wrist for a while now, and 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.680 what can I say, It is the perfect accessory. You've 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.080 heard me go on and on about how much I 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.319 love the Apple Watch, and this is no different, and 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.840 well it is a little different. So let me go 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.240 through some of the differences on the new Apple Watch 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.040 Series seven. And the number one difference is that it's 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.120 the case is just a millimeter bigger, but the screen 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.840 is twenty percent bigger. And you might think that that 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.280 doesn't make a big difference, but it does. And so 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.520 as soon as the first time I had to type 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.880 in my pin code to unlock this watch. I noticed 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.840 the difference in screen size. The buttons were so much bigger, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:13.920 and it was much easier to tap in that four 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.640 digit code. Now, that's not a reason to upgrade, but 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.680 and I'm not sure there's any reason to upgrade on 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.520 this device other than the fact that you need a 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.800 new Apple Watch. So if you have one of the 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.240 older models that doesn't have the the only reason really 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.400 to upgrade your Apple Watch at this point in time 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.680 is if the model you currently have does not have 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.800 the sensor that you need, whether that's blood oxygen or 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.600 whether it's some of the newer sensors that they've added 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.480 to these watches. But if you don't need those, there's 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.720 no reason to upgrade, because the Apple Watch is one 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.600 of those things that you only upgrade for a key 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.360 feature that you need. And I might even change that 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.320 to a want, because do you really need it? Maybe not, 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.000 because most of the watches, even from the Apple the 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.599 Series three and up, I think they all do like 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.920 the fall detection and all that good stuff. So okay, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.280 so you've got the bigger screen you've got for the 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.440 first time ever on an Apple Watch built in a 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:14.480 quirty keyboard, which the irony is that the the buttons 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.800 are so tiny on that you would only use that 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.920 for like the most extreme circumstances of like you'd want 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.199 to type something out that's like a proper name or 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.560 an address or something like that, or Siri just isn't 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.280 understanding what you're saying and you have to type something, 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.040 so that is a good thing. You can also swipe 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.600 on that keyboard, which actually is much more useful. So 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.320 this is exclusive to the series seven at least for now. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.760 Apple could always add that to any other watch in 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.520 a heartbeat with an OS update, but they're saying that 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.800 the screen the larger real estate is the only reason 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.600 that's possible, but who knows. Then there's two new watch 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.000 faces that take advantage of the extra screen real estate. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.640 One is called Contour. This has numbers that go to 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.560 the edge. It's kind of like a mix of old 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.360 school and just it just kind of looks like a 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.280 like a melted watch face on the edges. I don't 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.880 know how to explain it. And then Modular Duo if 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.840 you want the maximum amount of information on a screen, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.719 like if you wanted two of the giant Modular displays. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.760 You know how most on almost every well on all 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.480 the Apple Watch faces, there's only one big kind of 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.200 complication and the rest are all small ones. Well, this 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.040 one you can actually get two complications on the screen 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.000 at once. Other improvements include a more crack resistant face, 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.800 which will be nice because I've scratched a lot of 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.400 the old Apple watches. Dust resistance, but I've never had 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.240 an issue with dust on previous Apple Watches, so I'm 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.800 not really sure what that would add. I've taken mind 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.920 to the beach, I've taken them on hikes. I've never 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.360 even thought about dust in my life. Now. Battery life 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.840 is not improved, which is a total bummer, but they 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.080 did improve the charging by about fifteen minutes. It's fifteen 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.480 minutes faster, double is fast. If you have an older model, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.199 like if you have one of the Series three or 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.480 something like that, you're gonna see significant charging upgrades to this. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.880 There's also a new USBC charging cable in the box. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.839 It's got this silver I don't know what you call it. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.000 The puck is like silver, so you know that it's new, right, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.760 instead of the old ones. The old ones will still 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.160 work with the new watches. The new thing will still 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.360 work with the old watches. They just will charge at 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.840 their appropriate speech. You're not gonna get faster charges on 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.920 the old watches, and it will be slower on the 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.920 new one with the old ones, so he kind of 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.680 need that new one to unlock the faster charge. Now. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.040 The other thing they're doing is eight minutes of charging 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.920 on this watch will give you enough juice to track 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.080 eight hours of sleep. But quite honestly, the sleep data 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.920 on the Apple Watch is pretty much the native sleep 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.920 data is just not there. And I think Apple's doing 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.760 that on purpose because in the future they are going 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.720 to upgrade the sleep capabilities of this when they finally 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.640 mix in that startup that they purchased, I forget what 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.960 it's called, like Bettet or something. Once they get that 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.480 sleep thing figured out on the back end, they will 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.320 make a big to do about it and that will 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.040 be the new crown feature of the Apple Watch. But 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.480 that's not ready right now and it's not here. That's 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.240 for sure. Basically tells you how long you've slept, which 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.760 is like useless compared to things you get from Fitpit 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.600 and all that. Lots of fun new colors you've got 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.520 Midnight you've got Starlight, you've got blue, red, and green. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.320 It starts at three hundred and ninety nine dollars four 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.440 ninety nine for Cellular, which I think is actually a 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.280 price increase. I think Cellular used to cost less. Still 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.880 the best smart watch around no matter what it's, it 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.320 just is. It's amazing. You've got great notifications, excellent fitness tracking, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.360 fun faces, wide range of helpful complications, although I wish 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.320 there were some more, and Siri is probably the biggest 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.000 sore spot. She just can't figure out what you're saying, 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.240 especially when it's proper nouns, especially when it's anything that's 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.000 like a business name. It's just really painful to use 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.640 her to dictate almost anything to this watch. And that's 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.560 my biggest downside to the Apple Watch is that if 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.280 it had Google Assistant on it, it would be a 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:01.240 real killer device. But overall still an amazing, amazing accessory 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.680 if you have an iPhone. I really wish that Apple 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.600 would set this device free and let it work without 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.200 an iPhone. I know it does with the family set up, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.400 but it's still a little convoluted. They hold back some 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.600 features and it's not a pretty setup. So Apple, please 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.880 let people activate in Apple Watch all by themselves without 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.560 anything else, which, yes, the family set up kind of 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.800 does that, but it's still it's not meant to be 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:31.000 just a standalone device. But there you have it. Let 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.040 me know if you're gonna get an Apple Watch, big 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.680 upgrade if you have like a three, maybe or a four, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.600 But if you have a five or six, obviously not 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.880 a huge update. All right, let's talk about Tile. Tile 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.680 is upgrading all of their products in an effort to 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:49.800 better compete with the air tag, and so Tyle says 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.720 that in the first half of twenty twenty one, Tile 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.320 has grown revenue over fifty percent and it shows no 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.320 sign of slowing down. So the company is sending a 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.560 message saying air tags did not destroy our business. So 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.400 first off, you've got the Pro, which is Tyle's most 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.920 powerful tracker, that's got a four hundred foot finding range, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.480 and it's got a new look and feel, So basically 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.080 it has a hole in it, a big old hole 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.879 that enables you to clip it to a bag or 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.320 a purse or a key chain. Then you've got the Mate, 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.480 the Sticker, and the Slim. Those all have a two 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.120 hundred and fifty foot finding range. Which is twenty five 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.360 percent more and sixty seven percent more for the sticker. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.879 The sticker is really handy for a remote control. In fact, 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.440 I may buy the sticker just for my remote because 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.160 I need that. The kids don't care about the remote, 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.040 They let it fall between the couch cushions, and I 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.119 think I need that. How much is the sticker The 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.719 sticker is twenty nine ninety nine. I'm definitely that is 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:52.200 that's a purchase right now now. Additionally, the three models 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.240 now have a louder ring, which makes it easier to 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.720 find them, especially like I said, the remote control. They've 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.639 got a three year battery life and they've got IP 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.920 sixty seven water resistance, all of them do, which means 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.879 they could be submerged in one meter of water for 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.520 up to thirty minutes. There's also this new QR code, 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.320 and I love the fact that I've been talking about 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.159 QR codes for literally a decade and it took a 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.440 pandemic for people to actually care about them. And now 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.840 everyone in the world knows how to scan a QR code, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.840 which is really cool because QR codes do have a 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.880 lot of uses. It brings you directly to something fast, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:31.399 whether that's information, a website, someone's contact information, whatever it is. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.080 It's just an easy way versus typing. You just aim 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.560 your phone at something. And so we've seen those things everywhere. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.040 And now all tiles are going to have this little 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.240 QR code on them that lets you scan the QR 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.840 code and see who it belongs to or not who 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.720 it belongs to. Well, I guess they will allow owners 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.800 to put their contact information in there, but you can 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.400 put in whatever you want, whatever you feel comfortable with. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.240 Then they've got a new app to help with unwanted tracking. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.800 It's called Scan and Secure feature, So anyone with a tile, 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.600 it's actually just a feature inside the tile app can 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:08.360 scan for nearby devices and identify an unknown device near them. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.800 That's for like the stalker situations. And then you've got 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.040 looking to the future, the new Tile Ultra because Tyle 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.760 doesn't want to say they're being left out in this 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.879 race with the ultra wideband technology, so they will have 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.240 Bluetooth an Ultra wideband built into a tile that's coming 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.439 out in early twenty twenty two. All right, So the 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.640 Tile Pro is thirty five bucks, the Mate is twenty five, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.560 the Slim thirty five, and the sticker is thirty and yes, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.480 I need to go buy that sticker right about now. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.679 All right, next question comes from Laura. I'm a single, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.520 disabled mom. I need to spend my money wisely. It's 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.719 finally time for a new iPhone. My old one has 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:51.440 had it. Can you cut through the chase and tell 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.280 me which iPhone is your fave? I have the iPhone 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.520 six Plus. I love it. I've been thinking maybe I 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.199 should just get another one, but I'm certain that if 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.680 anyone knows which phone can top this six plus, that 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.000 would be you. I'm going straight to the top. Rich 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.480 Which phone is the easiest to operate with? The very 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:13.359 best camera feature? Is all I ask? Please share, sincerely, Laura, Laura. Uh, Laura, Laura, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.639 Laura U. Well, you want Okay, you're giving me a 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.919 couple things here. You're saying that you want the best camera, 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.200 but you also want You love the six plus, which 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.679 is a bigger phone, So that would lead me to 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.040 believe that the iPhone thirteen Pro Max would be your 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.040 best choice. But I'll be honest, I think that's way 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.360 too big of a device. Now, maybe you're so used 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.199 to the size of this phone that it's fine and 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.280 you don't mind. But it's also a very expensive device. 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.959 And I think that if you are willing to sacrifice 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.600 a little bit in the screen size, the standard iPhone 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:48.000 thirteen will be exactly what you need. You're gonna get 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.160
