Speaker 1: Right now, let's take you to Cooper Tino. Katla's Rich
Speaker 1: Demiro joins us. You can find them on richontech dot tv.
Speaker 1: But Rich, this morning, we find you at the All
Speaker 1: Things Apple event.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning to Jennifer. Yes, I am overlooking the
Speaker 2: brand new Steve Jobs Theater here in Coopertino on the
Speaker 2: i'd say brand new Apple campus. We were here last
Speaker 2: year for the first inaugural event when they launched the
Speaker 2: iPhone ten. This place is just as beautiful, less manure
Speaker 2: smell this year because things have evolved a little bit.
Speaker 2: Last year, they were literally planting flowers as we were
Speaker 2: doing the event because this place was so brand new.
Speaker 2: But it's been about a year. But yes, today is
Speaker 2: the big day for the iPhone. Very exciting.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what is expected today to be released?
Speaker 2: Well, we're looking at I mean, there's been all rumors
Speaker 2: and speculation. I'm sure you've seen online. So at the
Speaker 2: best we can say is there's going to be three
Speaker 2: new devices. Okay, so let's call the first device the
Speaker 2: budget iPhone, which has a nice big six point one
Speaker 2: inch screen. It won't have the best display that's available
Speaker 2: from Apple, which is their O lead, but it will
Speaker 2: be a nice phone for a lot of people. Seven
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars, so not necessarily budget when you
Speaker 2: think of the price. Then you have two other phones,
Speaker 2: and these will be sort of these successors to the
Speaker 2: iPhone ten. You've got the iPhone ten F which will
Speaker 2: be about the same size, but with improved specs obviously,
Speaker 2: and then you have the iPhone ten S Max is
Speaker 2: what we think they're going to be calling it, and
Speaker 2: that will have a big screen. So if you had
Speaker 2: an iPhone ten last year you thought the screen was
Speaker 2: a little bit too small for your taste, you wanted
Speaker 2: that kind of iPhone plus feel in the hand, this
Speaker 2: will be kind of the iPhone ten plus, but I
Speaker 2: guess they're changing it now to the Max. And by
Speaker 2: the way, that phone probably going to be over one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, so we're looking at like maybe one thousand
Speaker 2: and fifty. And there will be some new colors, including gold.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the basics of what we're expecting
Speaker 2: here today. Of course, there could be other surprises.
Speaker 1: Okay, are we expecting like Beats products or headsets or
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, earbuds kinds of things.
Speaker 2: Today I feel like Beats is sort of withering on
Speaker 2: the vine for Apple because we're not hearing many announcements
Speaker 2: from that brand. But I think we will see possibly
Speaker 2: new air pods, maybe in AirPods two that has a
Speaker 2: wireless charging case that you can put on a wireless charger,
Speaker 2: along with maybe some more sweat and water resistance and
Speaker 2: just improved generally. Maybe that air Power wireless charging dock
Speaker 2: that they showed off last year, Jennifer, but that has
Speaker 2: been majorly delayed in production. It's been quite the technical
Speaker 2: difficulty for this company to make that thing. But this
Speaker 2: is sort of a little plate that you can just
Speaker 2: lay your iPhone and your headphones and your watch on
Speaker 2: and it would charge all those things no matter how
Speaker 2: you lay them on there. That's really tough to make.
Speaker 1: You know, as these phones get bigger, they've got to
Speaker 1: get heavier too. Is that ever becoming a thing? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that on one hand, people were going, shoot,
Speaker 1: at some point, when's the thing not going to fit
Speaker 1: into my pocket? But at what point is it also
Speaker 1: going to drag your pants down when you put it
Speaker 1: in there because it's gotten so heavy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really interesting you say that, because there was
Speaker 2: this trend a couple of years ago, fintin thin, thin,
Speaker 2: thin at all, you know, no matter what, you had
Speaker 2: to make these phones thinner every year, and it was
Speaker 2: coming at the expense of the battery and some of
Speaker 2: the features and the headphone jacks. And now we're seeing
Speaker 2: this where people don't necessarily care as much. So we're
Speaker 2: actually hearing some rumors that these phones might be a
Speaker 2: little bit heavier than last year's devices, and people are saying,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that because I'd rather have a bigger
Speaker 2: battery and I don't mind being waied down. And these
Speaker 2: things are still pretty pretty lightweight when you think about
Speaker 2: what they're doing. But I agree, when you get into
Speaker 2: those big plus size phones or the Max whatever they're
Speaker 2: going to be calling it, they do weigh you down
Speaker 2: a little bit. And for a man, it's tough to
Speaker 2: keep in your pocket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly so. And also, what about the upgrade? Is
Speaker 1: there any way to save when you go to upgrade?
Speaker 1: If you're somebody who I know John and Alex Bolt,
Speaker 1: we're saying this morning that they are ready to do it.
Speaker 1: They're so excited for these phones to come out today.
Speaker 1: They want to go and get those upgrades. Asap. Is
Speaker 1: there a way to save on that or is it
Speaker 1: just going to be You're gonna have to plunk down
Speaker 1: the money no matter what.
Speaker 2: No, No. The beauty of the iPhone is that it
Speaker 2: does not lose much value over the year. So I
Speaker 2: find myself I always sell my wife's old phone when
Speaker 2: I get the new one for her when it comes out,
Speaker 2: and it's amazing how much the old phone still sells
Speaker 2: for the Apple devices hold their value better than any
Speaker 2: cell phone out there. So that's the good news. Now,
Speaker 2: of course, it's not going to be You're not going
Speaker 2: to sell it for one hundred dollars less than you paid.
Speaker 2: You know, it might be half priced whatever. But the
Speaker 2: reality is the best way to do it don't take
Speaker 2: the carrier trade. And I know that's the easiest thing
Speaker 2: to do because you're at the carrier and it's so simple,
Speaker 2: but they always lowball you there. So the best thing
Speaker 2: you can do is sell it to a friend on Facebook.
Speaker 2: So put a notice out right now, Hey, I'm selling
Speaker 2: my old iPhone. Here's a specs, here's the carrier, and
Speaker 2: I guarantee you one of your friends on Facebook, someone
Speaker 2: in your network will buy that from you. Forecast it
Speaker 2: will be for a good deal. If you can't do that,
Speaker 2: go to a website like flipse dot com. They will
Speaker 2: do a price comparison of all the various places that
Speaker 2: will buy it from you. But just be careful because
Speaker 2: if you're not selling it to the carrier, which I
Speaker 2: know is very easy, but they do take, you know,
Speaker 2: a little bit more from you. You have to be
Speaker 2: careful when you're selling it to like sort of a
Speaker 2: third party because you want to wipe all your data
Speaker 2: and you want to be sure that the person is
Speaker 2: legit on the other end.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was thinking. And what's the best
Speaker 1: way to wipe your data?
Speaker 2: You got to go to settings and you want to
Speaker 2: erase all content, So everything on there you want to erase.
Speaker 2: And I know some folks are saying that you have
Speaker 2: to kind of sign out from find my iPhone. I
Speaker 2: don't find that you need to do that. As long
Speaker 2: as you find you know, do that and you put
Speaker 2: in your iCloud password before you reset your phone. It
Speaker 2: should be linked that phone from your account and you
Speaker 2: should be good to go. But you definitely want to
Speaker 2: wipe everything and do a backup obviously before you do
Speaker 2: any of that stuff. Yeah, yeah, that way you can
Speaker 2: put your data on your new device.
Speaker 1: All right, Rich, Well, I look forward to the big
Speaker 1: unveiled today, to finding out what is actually there, see
Speaker 1: what you know, if any surprises there happen to be
Speaker 1: And no, I'm sure we'll be talking to you soon
Speaker 1: because we'll want an update.
Speaker 2: And I've got behind the scenes on my Instagram and
Speaker 2: doing Instagram stories this morning, Jennifer at rich on Tech
Speaker 2: On Instagram you can follow along and I'll be posting
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Obviously. This is fun no matter what, even
Speaker 2: if you think you know everything that's going to be
Speaker 2: unveiled here, it's still really fun to be up here
Speaker 2: and cover this.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I just wish I could see the campus,
Speaker 1: so give us lots of pictures of that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they won't allow me here tomorrow, just today, one
Speaker 2: day only, kick me out.
Speaker 1: They'll follow you on Instagram and be like he needs
Speaker 1: to go, thanks, Rich all right, see you later. That
Speaker 1: is KTLA's Rich Demiro. You can follow him on rich
Speaker 1: on Tech dot tv and then of course follow him
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Twitter. And yeah, he's already posting pictures.
Speaker 1: So if you just want to see what the campus
Speaker 1: looks like overall, And I know Silicon Valley, I know
Speaker 1: all the hype that surrounds it and everything, but these
Speaker 1: facilities are cool in the sense of they're just unlike
Speaker 1: anything you've ever seen before, and who comes up with
Speaker 1: these designs? And yeah, I know that they're usually pretty
Speaker 1: ridiculous and extravagant, but it's still cool just to see them.
