Plus we're 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.880 answering your pressing tech questions. What is going on on 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.560 rich Demiro? This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.840 I talk about the stuff I think you should know 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.760 about happening in the tech world. Plus, I'm answering your 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.680 tech questions. Joining me is producer Megan. Welcome to the show. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:29.560 Hello, how are you? 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.680 I am good. It is been a good week. How's 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:33.599 your week been so far? 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.760 My week's been good. It's been busy, It's gone by 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:37.519 so fast. 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.280 Megan goes through two phases of life. She goes through 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.720 just getting done with vacation and then getting ready to 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.879 go back on vacation. So you're going back out of 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.760 town again already, aren't you? Where are you going now? 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.559 I'm going to Hawaii? 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.400 But that's not this is not this weekend. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.800 It's next week, next week? 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.440 Okay? If I just reveal a surprise that no? 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:55.520 No? 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.840 Okay, Well, so you post on Instagram like getting Hawaii ready, 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.520 So I figured it like the sea around days, although 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.160 you didn't say where you were going, right, that could 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.240 have been a secret. Oh, not a secret. Okay, I 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.040 mean you clearly you're just an open book. You don't 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:08.840 care the post. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.240 It takes you to kawai the last time I see. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.800 Instagram is so tricky with all these like weird little 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.960 like nothing is apparent like what like I didn't realize 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.360 you can click the post? Yeah you know. Anyways, So 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.120 why listen to a show like this megan to. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:28.039 Learn about tech and how to you know, make it 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:28.959 through the world today. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.920 Yes, so let me give you an example of why 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.680 you're just the average person. You're sitting there, you like rich, 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.240 all this tech stuff. It baffles me. I don't get it. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.280 How does it affect me? Big deal? Come on, all 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.920 this stuff you talk about I don't really understand. But 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.720 here's why you listen to a show like this, because 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.720 number one, I am breaking it down in a way 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.440 that you can understand. We don't talk about stuff that 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.040 doesn't really apply to the average person. We're talking about 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.960 stuff that affects you. The apps you can use, the 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.320 everyday decisions you're making, whether you want to get a 0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.400 fire TV or a Roku or Chrome cast. These are 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.360 the kind of things that we discussed on a weekly basis, 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.040 so that when it comes time for you to make 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.840 that decision. You remember, oh yeah, Rich did mention that 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.160 the Chrome cast doesn't have that feature, or the Roku 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.840 does that, but the Amazon doesn't. So you just have 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.760 this thing. I'm not saying this is an end all 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.800 for every decision you ever after make, but it just 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.760 gives you that basis of knowledge. Right. So an example, 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.960 how to colleague come up to me here at work 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.720 and she comes up to me with her brand new 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.440 cell phone and she says, hey, Rich, is this a 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.520 good phone that I got? It's from Verizon. I look 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.040 at it. I said, oh, that's the pixel. That's a 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.280 fantastic phone. But why'd you go with the original pixel? 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.120 It's like, what do you mean original? I'm like, that's 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.680 the first pixel that ever came out, by the way 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.000 back in twenty sixteen. You're talking a phone that's three 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.160 years old, right. So she said, I don't know, that's 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.639 the one that they said was like the best one. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.760 And I said, well, they just came out with. I said, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.000 how much did you pay for this? Did you get? 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.280 You obviously got it for free. She goes, no, it 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.920 was like six hundred dollars. Wait what hold on? So 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.840 now you bought a phone that's this this old, plus 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.960 you paid this much money, and I did, you know, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.600 I just wanted to make sure I confirmed, you know. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.760 I was like, I, you know, I noticed the phone 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.720 from the way it looked that it was a Pixel, 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.040 but I just wanted to confirm because it's been a 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.920 while since I played with the original Pixel. So I 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.919 looked at it. I said, okay, and it was still nice, 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.000 the software was still fresh and everything. But I said 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.280 to her, you know that Google just came out with 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.480 two new pixels that, by the way, are better than 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.680 this phone and cheaper. Yeah, and Verizon sells them, so 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.720 why would you not get that? And I wasn't yelling 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.520 at her, but I was explaining that I wanted to know. Yeah. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.640 I was just very curious what happened in this transaction 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.880 at the Verizon store. Why a salesperson would lead her 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.200 to a phone that is three years old versus one 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.440 that came out two months ago. You remember, we went 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.360 to the Google event and I featured those phones, the 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.720 Pixel three A and the Pixel three A XL. So 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.080 I told her the differences. I said, well, here's the 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.680 difference the Pixel three A, which is a phone that 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.720 sells for three ninety nine unlocked, which is a smaller size. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.400 She complained that she got the Xcel, which was kind 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.200 of big for her hands, and I said, well, the 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.040 Pixel three A is even smaller, so it'd be even 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.640 easier in your hands too. So all these things added 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.800 up to I said, you know what, I think you 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.120 got to go back to the store. She goes back 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.400 to the store. Ask her today and I said, did 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:13.160 you get your new phone? 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:13.440 Oh? 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.440 Yeah, they had to order it. So I said, did 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.560 you ask them why they tried to sell you a 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.640 phone that was three years old? And she said they 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.159 basically ran around that and kind of gave her the 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.520 run around. And at the end of the day, I 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.839 think what it came down to is that the Pixel 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.840 three A was sold out at that location, OK, and 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.640 they didn't feel like going through the trouble of ordering 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.640 her device. Maybe they get more commission on a phone 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.719 that's in house, and plus it's an older phone, so 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:40.440 they make more on it. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.040 Yeah, but I'm confused if it's three years old. I mean, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.680 the phone itself is not, but if it's a. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.880 Three year old, it might be three years old. It 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.160 could have been sitting there for three years. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.880 Yeah, why is it six hundred dollars? Why isn't gone down? 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.440 What did it start at? It started at like nine hundred? 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.560 Yeah, I probably started it like a probably closer to 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.440 eight hundred, maybe something like that. I'm not really sure. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:01.960 I don't remember what the price of that phone was. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.880 But the reality is, this is why you listen to 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.960 a show like this because in your mind, you might 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.440 have a little bit of a memory of Rich talking 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.839 about a new pixel phone. You may not remember the 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.320 model number, you may not remember the details, but you said, 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.480 Rich just talked about a brand new pixel phone a 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.080 couple of weeks ago on the podcast, and I remember 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.160 him saying it was less expensive. Just those two keywords 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.480 in your head alone should be enough to make you realize, 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.920 hold on, why am I going for a phone that's 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.000 three years old? When I do remember this guy talking 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.880 about a phone that's newer and better and cheaper. And 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.119 it's just that kind of knowledge base that you build 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.040 by listening to a show like this that does help 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.080 you out in real life. So I just figured i'd 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.240 share that story because I thought it was quite interesting. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.280 Yeah, and they can always if they if they remember 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.600 that you talked about it, but they don't remember what week. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.520 They can go to KTLA dot com and they can 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.760 search pixel and it'll come up. Because we post our 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.120 show to KTA dot com. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.000 Yeah, we post the show to KTLA dot com. You 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.080 can There's a great website called Listen Notoes dot com 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.440 which you can search for basically a topic in any podcast, 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.159 including ours. There is my website rich on tech dot tv. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.680 So anyway, there's lots of ways, but remember a keyword 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:11.919 or two and it will definitely help you. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.039 So we're gonna start with a question. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.600 Yeah, okay, So this first question comes from Deb Pollock 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.880 and she asks do you know of a digital smart 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.080 calendar that you write on that will sync with your 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.200 calendar on your phone? I know there are notebooks that 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.200 do that. Thank you in advance. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.040 This is a tricky one because I don't think that 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.599 there's something exactly what she's talking about, Like, I don't 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.839 think there's like a perfect product for this, right. But 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.160 I did a little research and have you ever heard 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.000 of Moleskine. These are like these little notebooks that people 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:46.599 carry around. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:47.320 Yeah, I have. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.800 So I've been a big fan of these things for 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.200 a while. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:51.440 Are they digital? 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.359 Well, that's the thing. So there was two angles I 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.520 was looking at here, So one I don't if you remember, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.359 in China we saw that that device that looked like 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.400 a tablet. It was almost like an ink display that 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.000 you drew on. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.360 Yeah, I remember that, and I can't remember what. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.839 The name of it is, but I remember it being 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.920 really cool and it was like it was like pen 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.680 and paper. It was like almost like a legal pad, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.760 but it was digital and you can type on it. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.000 I don't think that would do what she's looking for, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.160 because I think what she wants to do is actually 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.720 write something in a calendar digitally and then the event 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.880 carries over to her phone, right, And I'm not sure 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.480 that there's a good, really good solution for that. So 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.960 the closest thing I found is from mole Skein. They 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:37.080 have something called the Smart Writing System, and what this 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.960 is is one of their notebooks, and it says that 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.680 it bridges the analog and the digital, so you can 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.440 write in their little notebook and you know, you get 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.680 smart Writing set and it looks like whatever you're writing 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.960 in the notebook shows up in your phone on their 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.120 app as well. I don't think this is perfect, and 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.160 it's also quite expensive because you have to buy the 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.440 special notebooks, you have to buy the special software whatever. Yeah, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.880 but that's probably the clince you're going to get to 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.280 a solution like this. Maybe if if you're listening and 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.680 you have something that works for this. I would think 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.400 that something like the Samsung Note would work for this 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.160 because I do know that they convert handwriting into digital, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.360 so on that device you could probably use your handwriting 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600 to write into the calendar and then that will convert 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.160 into text. So that's probably the other solution, but that 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.320 requires getting a whole new phone and adopting a system. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.560 But they are coming out with a new note on 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.440 August seventh, So if you want to wait to see 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.280 if that's the case or if that's going to work 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.160 for you, that probably is your best bet. So check 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.600 out mole skin as well. But if you have a solution, 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:43.160 email me for sure. So switching gears from Samsung to Apple. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.319 Apple is going to release their new iPhones later in September. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.120 We already know that, but of course now the rumors 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.199 are trickling out a speculation on what this phone is 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:54.600 going to have. So there's been a lot of rumors 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.080 that they're going to switch over from the lightning port, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.599 which is what they have now, to something called USBC, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.599 which is what's on the iPad Pro. Remember when we 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.719 went to the event in New York City that they 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.840 changed the or do you not go to that? Was 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:07.640 that before your time? 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:08.920 I think that was before your time? 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.240 Okay, Apple? This was Apple. They did an event in 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.600 Brooklyn where they launched their new iPad pro and on 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.640 the bottom before I started, on the bottom, they had USBC, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.120 which is what all the androids use, which is kind 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.080 of the standard connector these days. It's right here on 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.240 the side of my laptop and on your new laptop. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.559 But everyone thought, okay, well now they're doing it on 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.600 the iPad, they'll do it on the iPhone as well. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.840 Doesn't seem to be the case, so according to the 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.080 latest rumors, they're still going to stick with lightning. I 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.400 think that's smart for now. I know everyone wants like 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.280 this changeover, but it's kind of a big deal to 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.760 switch all your stuff, especially if you're in an iPhone world. Yeah, 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.680 you know, I think it'll be fine because USBC is everywhere, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.400 But if you don't have other things, you're not really 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.440 caring too much. Like if you just have an iPhone 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.880 you charge with your cable you have. You don't want 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.040 to change that cable right now. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:54.320 Yeah. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.400 Now, if you're like me and you have a bunch 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.800 of different things android, iPhone, tablet, you know, computer that 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.320 you USBC, doesn't matter. I'd rather have one device and 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.960 one connector for every device. I'd rather, I should say. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.240 So that's one thing. The other thing that's going away 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.679 is the three D touch. Have you ever used that 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.480 on your phone? So three D three D touch doesn't 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.800 it should? Yeah, press press hard on a on an 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.680 icon like on Safari, Press hard, okay, and it doesn't 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.600 do anything. Let me say, so, let's see if we 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.080 press Yeah, see how you press hard and it brings 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.040 up those little menus. So that's called three D touch. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.840 And clearly, since you didn't know about it, there's a 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.120 billion other people that don't know about it either. So 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.960 they're getting rid of that. And what they're doing is 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.160 something called haptic touch. And I was testing this out 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.640 on the I'm writing my book for iOS thirteen right now, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.480 and I was testing out haptic touch yesterday. The way 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.600 it works on the new iPhone is really weird because 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.160 now when you press and hold an app on your 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.320 screen like this, You no longer get the wobbly option. Oh, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.320 it now gives you this. It now gives you how 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.160 do you say done? It now gives you this little 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.200 hard press menu along with an option to rearrange icons. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.400 So it's like one extra step now to rearrange your icons. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.640 So anyway, that's changing in the new iPhone. And then 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.319 the camera is the big story. There's gonna be three 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.920 cameras on the back of the new iPhone, at least 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.760 the upper models, you know, the top models, maybe all three, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.760 but the extra space is going to have a wide 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.680 angle lens. And we saw this with the Samsung Galaxy 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.720 S ten. It had a wide angle lens, which is amazing. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.560 I love having the wide angle lens because you can 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.560 get more creative with your pictures. It's really fun, especially 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.679 if you're traveling there's a big mountain or you know, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.920 big building that you want to fit in there. Yeah 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.839 so and you just they just look unique because you 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.920 have this nice wide angle. If you're a realtor, that's 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.480 a great use of it taking pictures of inside people's 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.480 homes where you want to get the whole room captured. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.520 So the way that. Of course, Apple likes to one 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.600 up things, so they're not only going to have this 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.280 wide angle lens apparently, but according to Bloomberg, they're gonna 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.320 have a new feature that utilize is it called smart frame. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.520 And so when you take your regular picture, the iPhone 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.240 will take your regular picture. Let's say I take a 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.200 picture of you, but it's also going to take a 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.520 wide angle picture around you. So later on, let's say 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.040 that I had I noticed later on that I want 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.640 to include a little bit more of something to the 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.559 left of you or to the right of you. Yeah, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.679 Now I can use that wide angle to kind of 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.079 see the whole canvas, and you can like crop it 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.000 exactly recrop. So it's kind of fun and it's a 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.200 smart idea and it's interesting. Now Apparently, according to this 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.760 Bloomberg article, the extra data is going to be thrown 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.520 away at it after a certain period of time, because 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.720 you could imagine that in some pictures when you take 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.079 a wider angle that you're not really thinking of, there 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.320 might be something in that picture that you didn't think of. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.480 And I'll just give an example. Let's say I take 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.839 a picture of Megan and there's a wineglass next to 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.960 you right, and in a picture that I frame up, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.199 that wineglass isn't in there. Yeah, But then all of 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.600 a sudden when I go work, Yeah, at work, and 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.160 when I go to the bigger picture, it's it's like 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.720 there's the wine glass, Like ooh yeah, maybe don't want 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.640 someone seeing that. So they're going to automatically throw away 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.520 the extra data after a certain amount of time. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.199 Which is so it's two pictures or is it one? 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.400 It kind of reminds me of like the live picture. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.040 Yeah, so I was gonna say, it's like live. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.360 Yeah, you won't see it unless you go to look 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:16.679 at it. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:17.679 Okay, got it. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.679 But if you flip through someone's camera roll and you 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.079 kind of look at all the larger pictures, you're like, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.640 oh interesting, Like yeah, it's kind of like that Instagram 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.360 versus reality. It's like the Instagram is like perfectly posed, 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:29.719 but like when you go to the wide shot, it's 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.480 like you just see like it's a mess behind them 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.080 or like like cables and stuff. So anyway, kind of fun, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:36.720 good stuff. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:38.000 Okay. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.960 Our next question comes from Peter Garcia, Google assistant or 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.960 Alexa Hey Rich and Family, wondering if you can help. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.280 I'm a big Apple products fan. My dogs are even 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.320 called Mac and Apple. My question is what would be 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.720 more friendly to my Apple ecosystem between Alexa and Google assistant, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.080 calendar's map, contacts, controlling other devices, etc. I know what 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360 Siri is behind on this front. I also realized I 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.840 should have asked this before prime date to take advantage 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:09.440 of the sales. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.880 My mistake. Anyway, hope you can help. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.600 And my wife and I are big fans watching you 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:15.280 on Kate Tla. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:21.160 Well, thank you, Peter, Peter, Peter. So this is the 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.920 million dollar question. I am in my house. I am 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.520 all in on Google, and I think that Google has 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:31.800 done a fantastic job of the smart home. The smart home, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.320 I mean, I think they're doing a really good job 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.680 at controlling stuff. The thing that I've noticed between Alexa 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.840 and Google is that Google seems to understand my commands 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.720 way better than Alexa. So when I had Alexa setup, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.280 I'd say, can you change the lights to green in 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.760 the living room. I don't know why you'd want that, 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.280 but if you did, it would be like, sorry, we 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.480 don't see the living room lights. You have nothing named 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.760 living room lights because I call them living room dual 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.240 lights or something. You know what I mean, like, it 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.400 needs the exact way you've named things to like work properly. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.920 Whereas with Google, on the other hand, if I'm in 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.920 my kitchen and I say turn on the kitchen lights, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.000 or if I just say turn on the lights, it 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.120 will turn on just the kitchen lights, because it's smart 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.960 enough to know that that Google Home is in your kitchen, 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.640 you're in your kitchen. It's assuming you just want the 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.600 kitchen lights on. It's that smart. So that's why I 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.480 would say go towards the Google stuff. But Peter, you're 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.040 saying you want this to work with your iPhone and 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.400 your iPhone ecosystem, and I feel like, and I don't 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.880 know this to be certain, but I feel like the 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.360 Alexa products might work a little bit better with Apple 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.360 because they have their own app that works on the 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.920 iPhone and you can import your contacts. I assume you 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.640 can put your calendar in there, whereas with Google, it's 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.920 much more like it kind of knows you're using Google 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.480 products and it gets all the data from your Google products. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.240 So in this case, I would probably lean towards the 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.160 Amazon side of things. And it's a problem that we're 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.840 all facing right now and that's that none of these 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.200 products really play nicely with each other. So if you 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.000 have an iPhone, it's like you're using Siri all day 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.600 at work, and then when you get home, you've got 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.280 to remember what the Alexa or Google commands are and 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.000 vice versa. If you're using Alexa at home, and by 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.320 the way, I've probably just activated everyone's device and I 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.240 apologize for that like a thousand times. But if you're 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.680 using a at home and then you have an Android phone, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.160 now you're using Google commands there. So it's like this 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:32.960 whole big thing. But if you probably if you have 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.560 an Android phone, maybe you won't with Google anyway at 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.480 home because you had Android. So I think that's the 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.680 that's the kind of the differences I would see in 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:42.520 the two products. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.880 Yeah, do you think Apple's going to come out with 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:46.960 their own smart They are. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.120 They have the home Pod, which works, and they have 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.720 home Kit, and they have Siri, which works. But the 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.440 problem is they have not taken the home in as 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.680 big of a way as these other two companies have. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.120 So right now, when it comes to home automation and 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.080 smart home, you've got Google and you've got Alexa. It's 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.120 a two horse race. Yeah, series there and home Kit 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.480 is there, but the amount of products you can get 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.119 that work with it are just it's a blip on 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.480 the radar, and that's why most people don't consider it 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.480 because they're looking at all the stuff they want, the 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.560 cameras and all this stuff, and it's just not really 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.520 available in a big way through Apple. Apple's trying to 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.439 change that and they're doing a lot of cool stuff. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.280 One of the things they announced with iOS thirteen and 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.120 home Kit is that if you want to offer a 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:36.240 smart home camera with Apple, they will give you it's 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.760 like free iCloud storage for your clips, so for like 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.160 they require like a certain amount of time. So basically 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.320
