0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone ten. So iPhone ten goes on sale next

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Friday in the stores, but you can pre order it

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>starting Friday, October twenty seven. So some of you will

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>be listening after that, but some of you are listening

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>right now. So here's the deal iPhone ten. You know

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I played with it. My video on Facebook did twenty

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>two million views, so man, there are a lot of

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>people interested in this thing. It'll be available in silver

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and gray, in sixty four gigs and two hundred and

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty six gigs. So that one thousand dollars price, seeing

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that's for the sixty four gig model. If you want

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>to bump up, I don't know what the price is,

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's like eleven and fifty dollars for

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the two fifty six gig. WHOA, it's a lot of

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>money here, folks. Now, Apple would like you to buy

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the phone through the Apple Upgrade iPhone Upgrade program. Okay,

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>this is available at their Apple stores basically and Apple

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>dot com. That will cost you fifty dollars a month, okay,

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna go over all the carriers. I'm gonna

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>go over eighteen and T, Verizon, T Mobile, and also

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Apple's programs as well. So Apple also has a iPhone

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>trade up program, so you can trade in your eligible

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>smartphone for up to three hundred and seventy five dollars

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>in credit to lower the cost of the new phone.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>And I you know, I'm kind of I'm kind of

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>both ways on that because I love using your your

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>old phone to upgrade, but most people don't have a

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>paid off old phone, which is part of the problem.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And also it's really nice. The beauty of iPhones is

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>that they hold their value really well. So it's kind

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>of nice that you can give your phone to someone

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 2>else in your family like I usually do, because iPhones,

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>even after the generation the new one comes out, the

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>old ones are still pretty good.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So now that's just the phone itself.

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Don't think that when you walk out of that don't

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>think that when you walk out of that Apple store

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>you're only going to be buying that phone. You're gonna

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>be getting some accessories as well. So let me tell

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 2>you about the new accessories that Apple has for the iPhone.

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Ten leather and silicone cases available in various colors. Those

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 2>start at forty dollars. Then you've got a brand new

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 2>leather case, which is the iPhone ten leather folio. That's

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be one hundred dollars, so ten percent of

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the price of the phone for a case. Then they

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>also have lightning docs for fifty dollars. So that's from

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.839
<v Speaker 2>that is from Apple. Now let's talk about what AT

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and T is doing. So as far as I can see,

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>not much. I don't have anything on them just yet

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>for what they're doing specifically for the iPhone, but they're

0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>doing the orderings tonight at three am October two, twenty seventh,

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>so three am Eastern time, October twenty seventh for the

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>pre orders at AT and T.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's see for delivery.

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>And they say iPhone ten will be amazing for watching

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>direct TV now and all the entertainment you love. And

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I am a subscriber to direct TV Now, so I

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 2>can't say it's a good little program for thirty I

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>pay thirty five bucks a month, some grandfathered in from

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 2>like day one, so yeah, their payment is thirty three

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>dollars and thirty four cents times thirty months. So if

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 2>you want to on AT and T, there you go.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk Verizon. So Verizon, let's see, they're doing the

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>pre orders again Friday, October twenty seventh. They'll be available

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 2>through the my Verizon app. They're really trying to get

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you to buy a phone through their app, which is

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird, so you can get up to So

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 2>their deal at Verizon is that you can get up

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to three hundred dollars back on an iPhone ten with

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>device payment when you sign up for a Verizon Unlimited

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and trade in a select phone for a limited time.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So I always tell people that the best.

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Time to buy a phone is when the phone first

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>goes on sale because that's when the carriers have the

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>best deals. And it's always like that. So you wait

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks and you know, these deals go away.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>So I always recommend that if you think you want this,

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>it really is the best time because right now you're

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>getting that three hundred dollars trade in promo credit. That's

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. So let me tell you about this with Verizon,

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>because there's a little bit of a catch and I

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 2>figured out something interesting about them. So Verizon has okay,

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.679
<v Speaker 2>so it's one thousand dollars minus your three hundred dollars

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>trade in promo credit, and they apply that over twenty

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:34.559
<v Speaker 2>four months.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>So let's actually do the math on that.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>So if you take three hundred dollars divided by twenty

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>four so you get twelve dollars and fifty cents off

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the price of the phone each month. And if we

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>know our math, it's fifty dollars minus what I just say.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>It was fifty dollars minus twelve fifty, So fifty minus

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve fifty would be thirty seven dollars and fifty cents.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's giving up your old phone. Now here's the

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 2>caveat and all this. When you return your old phone,

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 2>your old phone is probably worth more than three hundred dollars.

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Now sometimes they're not, which is the best part of

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>this deal.

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>So if you have a super old phone, it's actually

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>better to get that three hundred dollars promo credit, because

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing is Verizon is taking a little bit

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>of a hit there. They just want to get you

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>on that new phone, so they're gonna give you more

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>than your phone is actually worth. So you got to

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of weigh the pros and cons. If you have

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>an iPhone seven, it's probably worth more than three hundred dollars.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 2>So if I go to let's see, if I go

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to gazelle dot com, which is kind of a trade

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in recycling site, and this one really does not give

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you that much for your phone. But it's really easy

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of your phone through this website, gazell

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>dot com. So if I go iPhone seven plus, let's

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>say it's on AT and T and it's a standard

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 2>thirty two gig phone, they are going to give me

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm in good condition, Oh wow, They're gonna give

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 2>me two hundred and eighty dollars. So Verizon is actually

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 2>a better deal in that scenario. So that is a

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 2>pretty good deal one hundred bucks for the old one.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Now here's the thing.

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I did talk to Verizon and I asked them about this.

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 2>I said, Hey, that twenty four month credit thing, what

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>if I pay off my phone early? And they said, no, Dice,

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you lose the extra credits. So you have to use

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>your phone over twenty four months and in order to

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 2>get those credits. So that's kind of a catch. It's

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 2>not a contract, but what they're saying is Basically, if

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you pay off your phone early, then they're not going

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to give you that money off every month.

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>So I thought that was kind of interesting.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>It's basically a way of keeping you on Verizon as

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>long as you can.

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's see here.

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>So T Mobile, Okay, starting Friday, customers who trade in

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 2>their qualifying iPhone will get up to three hundred dollars

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 2>off their new iPhone ten or eight or eight plus

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>via twenty four month credits on T Mobile's interest free

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>installment plan. So again, T Mobile is doing the same thing.

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to stay on their installment plan for twenty

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>four months to get that credit every month.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>If you don't, guess what, you lose the rest of

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the credit.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>So iPhone ten customers can get in on T Mobile's

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 2>new iPhone upgrade program. So down the road, let's say

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to upgrade from the iPhone ten even though

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>you just got it. Customers can trade in their iPhone

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>ten when it's fifty percent paid off. So if you

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>go to twenty four months, basically that'd be twelve months

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>from now, so another year if you want to get

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the new iPhone ten, which maybe it'll be the iPhone eleven.

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess T Mobile will wipe out your remaining payments

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>you can upgrade to the next iPhone And yeah, I mean,

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>let's see, so that'd be worth five hundred. You know,

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so confusing, isn't it so confusing? So here's

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>the equipment installation plan on T Mobile. If you do

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.079
<v Speaker 2>a sixty four gigabyte phone and you put down two

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty dollars, you get the phone for thirty

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>dollars a month. If you do their Jump on Demand,

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>which is zero down for a sixty four gig that's

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>going to be forty one dollars and fifty six cents

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a month. Now I email T Mobile and I said, hey,

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>what the heck is the difference between the T Mobile

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>equipment installation installment plan and the Jump on Demand plan?

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>And here's the answer I got. So let me get

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 2>my friend here. Let's see, here's the answer I got. Okay,

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>So the difference is T iPhone upgrade program. That's like

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the best program they have, Okay, T Mobile, it's the

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>simplest way basically.

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 3>Kay.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's it. So you okay, yeah, that's it.

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 2>You get you get the new phone for the price,

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 2>plus you get up a three hundred dollars off your

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>new phone via twenty four monthly installment.

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So she mobile.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So that's the iPhone upgrade program. Then there's the

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Equipment Installation Plan, which is interest free for twenty four months.

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Then there's a Jump on Demand when you can you

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>get the option to get a new device every thirty days.

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>If you're on an eighteen month agreement. That's basically a

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>lease that is not a purchase of the phone. So

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the other plans you can basically purchase the phone. The

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Jump on Demand you are leasing the phone.

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Wow, so complicated.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not going to go over Sprint because uh,

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really recommending Sprint right now.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that's mean, right, let me let me look,

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>let me see what Sprint's doing. But you know the

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 2>other thing about Sprint is they're gonna be uh they're

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna be merging with T Mobile it sounds like anyway.

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 2>So I don't see any special deal on Sprint. All

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I know is at Sprint. Okay, So you can save

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fifty dollars by trading in your old phone,

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good. So and you can upgrade every twelve months. Okay,

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>so they're doing a pretty good very it's very competitive.

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing.

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I have gone into these stores and I don't understand it.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Ninety percent of the time I'm sitting there talking to

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 2>the representative and I just like, my eyes are glazing over.

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I just don't understand.

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 2>So if I don't understand it, I feel bad for

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.719
<v Speaker 2>you guys, because this is my life and that's all

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing is going through these things, and I just like,

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I literally don't understand. When I bought my wife's phone

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>on AT and T, I bought it on one of

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>those installment plans, and I could not understand what I

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 2>was doing. I was like, all right, fine, at the

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, I'm just gonna sign and we'll

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 2>see what happens. And I ended up paying it off

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and it was fine.

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 1>But it was so confusing.

0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, there you have it. iPhone ten. A lot

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of people waiting for this phone. It's going to be huge.

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Next week.

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna hear me talk a lot about it. So

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I apologize in advance. Next week's gonna be an iPhone week.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 2>So just so you know, all right, we got a

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>lot going on on the show, so you guys stick

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:20.199

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.160

<v Speaker 1>that four four zero is.

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 5>Cleveland, Ohio?

<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, Cleveland. Are you watching on Fox eight? I hope, yes,

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>awesome the Tech Report? All right, what's going on?

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Nick?

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 5>So I'm gonna prevord to the iPhone ten? Uh actually

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 5>tomorrow basically where Yeah, So I'm trying to figure out

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 5>should I get the belkan H charging pad or the

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 5>mofy one. I wonder which one'll be better for charging

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 5>the iPhone ten.

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a good question. So I've got the on

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>let me put over here.

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I've got uh, I've got the belt on my desk here,

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 2>and I've got the Mophi on my desk at work.

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I I haven't really noticed a huge

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>difference between them. I mean, I think that the thing

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>about the phone is that you do have to hit

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>a sweet spot when you charge it. So, and Nick

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is referring to the new wireless charging capability of both

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone eight and the iPhone ten. I don't have

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>iPhone ten in my hands just yet, yes yet, But

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I do have the iPhone eight and it does have

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the wireless charging and I love it. So, you know,

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 2>how much are the prices any different on them?

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 5>I think they're They're pretty much the same, the Dulcan.

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>And the MOPy, So it really comes down to a

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>matter of personal preference. And the only thing I will say,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm noticing on the on the Belcan there is a

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>little indicator light, which I kind of like because it

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>tells me that my phone has hit the sweet spot

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 2>and that it's lighting up, so I know, and I

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>don't remember seeing that on the the other one. So

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>that might push me forward, because if you don't hit

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the sweet spot on the phones and you get it

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>settled just right on the on the charging pad, it

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>will sit there and not charge, and you don't want

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that to happen. So but but as you know, esthetically,

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the Belcan is white and the Mophy is black. As

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 2>far as I know, I don't I don't know if

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 2>they come in different colors, but those are the colors

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I have, so.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And they're both basically the same.

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm just thinking back to putting my phone

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>on my desk and I don't remember seeing it light

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>up at all in any way. So I mean, your

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>phone obviously comes to life for a second to know

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 2>that it's on, that it's charging. But I like the

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>indicator light on the Belcon, so that might push me

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 2>over to the Belcon for my if I'm going to

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 2>choose one. So you know, these companies send these things

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to me to try out. So that's kind of how

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 2>why I have both of them right now, because they

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>both wanted me to see how their charging system works.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's that would be.

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>A defining factor for me with the Balcon one is

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the little light because the indicator light, you can't really

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>discount the importance of not having to kind of mess

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>with your phone every couple of minutes to make sure

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>that it's still charging.

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I'd go for. Okay, cool, you you excited.

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 5>I am a very excited li iPhones sand. Yeah, I'll

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 5>be up pre ordering it online.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>So what's the deal with the pre order because I'm

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>not doing that, So what's the deal with that?

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>What's the I.

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Mean, hold on, hang on here, what's the what's the

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>deal with that? So it's it's three am.

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 5>I think yeah, it's three am, yeah for the East Coast,

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 5>and then West coast I think it's twelve am.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, interesting, Yeah.

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 5>So so three am forre Its Coast, I'll be up

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 5>the reason I want to pre order it because I

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 5>don't know if it's going to sell out and then

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 5>before I get to like a store, and then I

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 5>will be able to get till twenty eighteen.

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, exact it.

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I agree, you got this thing. I'm not now, I don't.

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any inside knowledge on this. I don't

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 2>know anything more than anyone else. But I have a

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>feeling this is going to be very tough to get,

0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>so I would say, yeah, this is going to be tough.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>So and it's weird because I think it's interesting for

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>people to pre order stuff that they've never seen before,

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. But at the same time, yeah,

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 2>it's it's you gotta do it, you know what I mean,

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>if you know you want it.

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 5>I've never ordered I've never pre ordered a phone before

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 5>until when I saw the iPhone ten because the brand

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 5>new you know, pre order a phone.

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, and and you know a lot of people

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 2>order them because they kind of know what they're going

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to get with Apple.

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be good. It's not you know, it's

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be high quality.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 2>And believe me, I played with this thing, and you

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>know I played with it at the Apple event and

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>it was great, and believe me, it was very nice

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>and for a first generation phone of this quality and

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of what they've done here, it's it's pretty darn nice.

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And I love the size because it's in between the

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 2>eight and the eight plus, so.

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a really nice size too.

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 3>See.

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 5>I like it too because I have a seven plus

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 5>right now, which is like a five point five in

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 5>screen display. With the ten you get a regular sized

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 5>phone and more screen in the Plus.

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Yep, like we'll not, yeah exactly, because it's it's takes

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.239
<v Speaker 2>up much more of the screen. So I think you're

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna love it. I'm looking forward to playing with it

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>next week.

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait.

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:07.679
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 2>It's weird because you know, I go to these Apple

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 2>events and I get to play with this stuff.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a whirlwind, you know what I mean.

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>You get it so fast, and it's like they take

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>it out of your hand and then you're like okay,

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and then people are asking me questions like, well, wait,

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 2>how is the screen?

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Was it brighter? Was it this? I'm like, oh, I

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>can't remember because it was so fast.

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.679
<v Speaker 2>It all happened so fast, But but I do remember

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>being very impressed with a first generation kind of bezeleless

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 2>phone from Apple. So it's gonna take a little getting

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>used to the new swipe functionality, but I think you're

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be okay.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Well, thank you. I really appreciate it.

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, Nick, I appreciate it.

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for watching out there in Cleveland, Ohio. And let's

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.600

<v Speaker 6>Appreciate it.

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, what's going on?

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Please lower your radio behind you so I can hear

0:17:54.520 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 2>you properly. Okay, we can't get that one, so we're

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>going to go to eight o five eight oh five,

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you are on with Rich.

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Rich, do you have a quick question for you?

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 4>This is Jr.

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 7>From cama Rio.

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Jr.

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 7>Eight, I've got a new Apple eight sixty four gig

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 7>and I've been hearing these really strange train sounds coming

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 7>from the device, not touching it. Did you just hear

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.680
<v Speaker 7>like a train horn? Have you heard anything like that?

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>A train? Like a notification sound?

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, like a notification sound. But I've got no applications

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.880
<v Speaker 7>open or anything, and I've heard it like three times.

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I can times The only thing I

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 2>can think of is because it's funny because I just

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>heard a sound like that on my phone the other day,

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's Facebook. I think Facebook might be

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 2>serving up that sound because I don't have notifications generally

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.320
<v Speaker 2>turned on on my phone, but I think Facebook is

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.040
<v Speaker 2>doing that, So I don't know. Maybe the commenters on

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Facebook Live will join in, but I've noticed with my

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 2>phone now I wear an Apple Watch, so it's kind

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>of weird sometimes I see notification. Like basically, what I'm

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 2>saying is, sometimes I've heard noises coming from my phone

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 2>and I look at it and I don't see a

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 2>notification associated with it, so I'm kind of confused.

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you were hacked. I don't think.

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.239
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I would say is go into your

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 2>notifications and you know, turn off Facebook notifications fully and

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 2>see if that helps. But I think I'm kind of

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 2>sure that that's what I've been hearing on Facebook as well,

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.439
<v Speaker 2>so hopefully that helps. I mean, unless Apple's playing some

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 2>prank on us and giving us the train whoosh.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, that's strange because, like I said, I checked

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 7>on the Apple support the other day on when I

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 7>first heard it, and they're saying that it's it's been

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 7>told before that people are hearing these sounds.

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:51.679
<v Speaker 1>That's weird.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh I don't know, maybe some kind of software glitch.

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know.

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 2>The only the only glitch I did hear of was

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 2>the the glitch that made the the audio crackley from

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the speaker or the headset of the phone. You know,

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 2>if you have your ear up to the heads that

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.239
<v Speaker 2>you know the earpiece, and my phone actually did have

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>that problem and they did fix it with a software update,

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 2>so I don't hear that anymore.

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So that could be at JR. But man, what a

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>weird What a weird thing.

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:18.719
<v Speaker 2>I know, when you hear a notification sound that you're

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 2>not familiar with, you're like, wait, what's going on? And

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>if you don't see it, it's really confusing. So great question.

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for calling from CAMERIOH. So, who is ready to

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 2>have Amazon open your front door? Amazon announced two things

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>this week that are really strange but also kind of interesting.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So the first is a cloud camera, so they're now

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 2>competing with the nests of the world, the Logitech Circle Cam.

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 2>And this is a one twenty dollars camera that works

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>with Alexa and it features HD resolution, night vision two

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 2>A audio, twenty four to seven live stream, and algorithms

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.919
<v Speaker 2>that detect motion. And the cool thing about this is

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that you can say, Alexa, show me my blank cam,

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, whatever you call it, and you'll just see

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it right on your if you have an Alexa show

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 2>or if you have an Echo spot, or if you

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>have a fire TV or a fire tablet.

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's really cool.

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 2>So you know, this is a competitive place now. These

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>home security cameras. I've got a couple of them, and

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I love them.

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 1>They're just great. They really are nice. They give you

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>peace of mind.

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 2>You can record twenty four to seven, you can go

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 2>back and see what's going on.

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 1>What I like about this one.

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a look at the It basically comes with

0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the essentials for keeping an eye on your home, including

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 2>access to the last twenty four hours of clips. So

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 2>that's an advantage right there if you get a Nest camera.

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>If you get a Nest they do not give you

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 2>access to the last twenty four hours. It's literally just

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a live stream. So if you wanted to go back

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and see something that happened, you couldn't unless you pay.

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 2>So with the Amazon one, you're actually getting a free

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 2>day worth of going back. Now, if something were to

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.719
<v Speaker 2>ever happen in your home, and hopefully it doesn't, this

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 2>would come in handy because you would get to see

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.159
<v Speaker 2>review what happened with the camera, and so you can

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 2>go back for twenty four hours and that's free. So

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Basic here, So if you want to get thirty days

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 2>or I'm sorry, if you want to get more than

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 2>just twenty four hours, you can get seven dollars a

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 2>month for Basic that gives you seven days for up

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to three cameras. Extended gives you ten dollars a month

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 2>for fourteen days, and pro gives you twenty dollars a

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 2>month for thirty days for up to ten cameras. So

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 2>this is this is very competitive. And yes, I apologize

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:34.919
<v Speaker 2>to the folks in the live stream for saying that

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>word with the A not Amazon, the other one, because

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I know it activates everything, so sorry, I normally don't

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 2>do that.

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But this is very competitive.

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I pay I think seventy five dollars a year for

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:50.160
<v Speaker 2>just one Nest cam for the I think it's ten days.

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is this is big.

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Amazon is really trying to get into the space. So

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 2>but here's what they really.

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Want you to do. Amazon wants you to.

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Let their survey people open up your door so they're

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 2>delivery people. This is a new service called Amazon Key.

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you've heard of this because it's been talked

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 2>about in the news a lot. But this is going

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to be available in thirty seven cities across the US,

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 2>including Los Angeles and many others, and it will grant

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>your access to your house when the delivery person comes.

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But not just delivery people, also all the other things

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>that Amazon is trying to sell on their service on

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 2>their site now, including made service, dog walking service, and

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 2>also professional services like you know, hanging a camera or

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 2>hanging maybe mounting your camera or mounting your TV. But again,

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the camera is called the Amazon Cloud Cam. And here's

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 2>the deal. Starting November eighth, when you order on Amazon,

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 2>if you have this new Amazon Key program, literally when

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you're checking out, you select in home delivery. So instead

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of saying one day, two day, same day, you say

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 2>in home and they will come to your house. And

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Amazon is not doing this, They don't get access to

0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 2>your house.

0:23:58.080 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Through a key.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 2>What you have to do is you have to replace

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the lock on your door with a special smart lock

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 2>and that this starts at tw hundred and.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Fifty bucks, by the way, not cheap.

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>So you get a smart lock, and what happens is

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 2>when the delivery driver gets near your home, they request access.

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Amazon verifies via GPS that they're at your house, and

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>then the cloud cam which I just told you about,

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 2>starts recording, and then your door is unlocked. So no

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>access codes or keys are ever provided to delivery drivers.

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>And you also get Amazon's happiness guarantee. And some folks

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>on the chat are saying that we don't get twenty

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 2>four to seven live stream with the let's see, Yeah,

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.879
<v Speaker 2>you get twenty four hours of clips. So I'm not

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 2>sure with the camera what that means with clips, So

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe every time it sees motion it will

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 2>make a little it'll trigger a recording, so you might

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:52.959
<v Speaker 2>not be able to scrub back the whole twenty four hours.

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 2>So but yeah, the Amazon key is really fascinating to me.

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 2>So the the other thing you could do not just

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 2>get your package. So basically they open your door, they

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>slip your package inside, the camera records it. It sends

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 2>you a little notification on your phone that says, hey,

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>your package was delivered. Here's a video of it, here's proof,

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 2>and then they close your door and they walk away

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and this okay, So why does Amazon want to do this? Well,

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:21.879
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of times what happens with Amazon is

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>people Amazon no longer requires deliveries on like ninety nine

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>percent of things you buy from them, even if it's

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.199
<v Speaker 2>an expensive item, which is crazy. But the problem is

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Amazon's numbers. People have crunched the numbers and said, you

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>know what, it's cheaper for us to send out another

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars gadget than to request a signature because

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:40.959
<v Speaker 2>that takes time and energy.

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So they just figure it's all built.

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Into the price of the products nowadays. And what they're

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.120
<v Speaker 2>saying is with this new program, they can cut down

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>on the shrinkage as they call it, which is basically

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.200
<v Speaker 2>theft packages stolen from front doors. And Amazon has done

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the numbers. Believe me, their data driven company, they know

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 2>that people are going to do this and it's going

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:00.919
<v Speaker 2>to be better for them. So the other thing you

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 2>can do once you have this is that you can

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>also get a maid service from Merrymaids, pet sitters and

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>dog walkers from Rover and also twelve hundred services from

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:14.119
<v Speaker 2>other providers across sixty professions. So basically, what I'm saying is,

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>if you need your toilet unclogged while you're at work.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Let's say you leave for work in the morning, the

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>toilet's clogged, you literally request a plumber through Amazon. They

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.399
<v Speaker 2>will come to your house, open your front door, do

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>whatever they need to do, and walk out. How crazy

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>is that? This is the world that we live in today.

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Just amazing Amazon, Amazon Key, and Amazon Cloud Cam. Who's

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.600

<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much for joining me. I appreciate it and

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 2>uh more about me At richontech dot TV. We've got

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 2>a caller now from the nine oh nine area code

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.239
<v Speaker 2>nine oh nine you are on with Rich What's on?

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 1>What's on your mind? Today?

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 4>It's Sam from pimone. I got another quick question for you. Hey, Sam, Hey,

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 4>I just finally got around and hooking up my Xbox

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 4>one and I don't have enough hdm my hookups in

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 4>the back of my TV. Now. I know they make

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 4>these four and five into one deals, but does anybody

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 4>make one that's you know, that like switches automatically when

0:27:59.000 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 4>the unit is on.

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, that's a good question. I don't know.

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, because the problem is that would

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 2>be expensive. I mean, these these systems you know you're

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>talking about you're referring to. It's like, I think it's

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 2>called CEC, which is like component control or something like that.

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:18.679
<v Speaker 2>But basically all the new gadgets like an Apple TV

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.359
<v Speaker 2>will when you press it, you know, when you press

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the power button on the Apple TV remote, it will

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>turn on your TV and tune it to the right

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.719
<v Speaker 2>input HDMI input. So that's kind of what you're referring to.

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know of one of those that does that.

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>The best place to look for something like that sam

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 2>is monoprice dot com. The only other thing I could

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>recommend is maybe look for one that has a remote control.

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of them have little remotes, but

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>from what I've seen, all these Hdmi switchers are about

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:48.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty bucks and they're all pretty cheap. And you know,

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the one that you decide to get, you know, it

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>could be good, it could be bad. It's just you

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 2>got to kind of look at the reviews and see

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>what people like. But I don't know one that switches

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.479
<v Speaker 2>by itself off the top of my head, but I

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 2>think that the best place you would go to find

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>that would be something like Monoprice. The reality is with

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the I know, if you have an older TV and

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>you know the HDMI ports are kind of at a premium,

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it could be a challenge. And I it's weird because

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I with my old TV, I almost got one of

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:19.360
<v Speaker 2>those switchers, but I ended up.

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to.

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to do anything possible to avoid those switchers

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 2>because they're not it's not a clean setup. I like

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 2>a clean setup. So my father in law he actually

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 2>has one, and you know he's got a I think

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>it's a push button or it could have remote.

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure. But he likes it. It's great.

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean he he wanted it because he was going

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>from fireTV to Apple TV. He had some shows on one,

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 2>some shows on the other. But I think he's uh,

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I think he's settled on fireTV. He likes that slightly

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>better than the Apple TV because it's faster. Good question,

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Sam three one zero five nine four three zero zero

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>three three one zero five to nine four three zero

0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>zero three.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Phone lines are open.

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>So let me tell you about this new website called

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 2>upside dot com. This is a new travel website and

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's from the guy who founded priceline dot com. Remember

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that website, Priceline. I was one of the first people

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 2>ever to use Priceline. By the way, I was in

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a price line ad back in the day, if you

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 2>can believe it, because I heard about this website Priceline

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>dot com, and I bought tickets to Vegas, two tickets

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>via plane for twenty dollars each because I named my

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 2>own price, and I thought this was amazing. I told

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone I knew about it, and no one believed me. Right,

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and then they emailed a bunch of people that use

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 2>this website first you know, Priceline, and they said, hey,

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 2>will you send it a picture?

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 1>We want to use you guys in an ad.

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>So I sent him my picture and next thing you know,

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm in USA today, my little tiny picture. And I

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 2>asked Jay I interviewed him recently, and I said, hey,

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:44.880
<v Speaker 2>do you remember those ads?

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I was in it?

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>And he said, oh, my gosh, I do. Anyway, he's

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 2>back with a new website called upside dot com. And

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 2>the difference with this website is that they give you

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 2>a gift card for booking through them.

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 1>So today I looked at a flight.

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>It was a standard price, same price as it was

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 2>on every other website. But with this upside dot com,

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>if you book through there, you basically get a ten

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>dollars Amazon gift card. So why not, you know, if

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you can get something extra. So here's the deal. They've

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 2>got a couple of things that they do differently. They

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 2>have this new big data travel engine, so it shows

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 2>you the top six flight choices and the top six

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 2>hotel choices that when you buy them together, save you

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.719
<v Speaker 2>money and help you on your business trip. So this

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is mainly for business travelers. That's kind of what they're doing.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 1>So they you know, it's like basically when I book

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I book my.

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Own flights for work, and it's a lot of work.

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 2>You're always comparing, you know, this and that. So I

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 2>noticed today when I went on Upside and kind of

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 2>looked up a sample flight, it kind of picked times

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 2>at the like the top flights were like the perfect

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 2>times for business travelers, Like they're not gonna give you

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 2>a red eye, They're gonna give you like the flight

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>was at a perfect time in the morning, perfect time

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 2>in the afternoon, and I thought it was great and

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>it was really fast to kind of find my flights.

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>So when you purchase a trip, you get a gift

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:02.479
<v Speaker 2>card at Amazon or fifty other retailers, and once you

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>select your flight in your hotel, they actually show you

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 2>another kind of itinerary that might save you some money

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.400
<v Speaker 2>or get you a bigger gift card. So I'm guessing

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>on the back end they've got some deals with certain

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 2>hotels where you're like, hey, I want to book a

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Weston and you kind of go through the whole flow

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of booking, and then at the end, before you press book,

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 2>they say Hey, by the way, if you stay at

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a Let's see, because Marriott's the same Let's see Weston.

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:27.160
<v Speaker 2>If you stay at Hyatt, we'll give you an extra

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty dollars on your gift card because they have a

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 2>deal with that Hyatt.

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I'm guessing they're doing. I don't know

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that to be true, but that would make sense.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a great business model, by the way, because when

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 2>it comes to booking hotel rooms, I mean realistically, they're

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of all the same. Let's be honest. You're staying

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 2>at a standard hotel room like a Hampton In. I mean,

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 2>what's the difference between that and a residence in.

0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Not much. I personally like Hampton In. It's better.

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 2>But that's my favorite cheap hotel, by the way, and

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not even that cheap anymore. It used to be

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:53.760
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred bucks a night. Now it's like I've

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>seen them for like two three hundred. I'm like, what

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 2>for a Hampton. You also get your Frequent Flyer miles

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.719
<v Speaker 2>no Worries credit card points. But here's the other thing

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:04.000
<v Speaker 2>they do at upside dot com. They also give you

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:07.440
<v Speaker 2>a twenty four to seven concierge level customer service by phone,

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 2>chat and text, so basically you have the same customer

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 2>service that you would get if you were traveling on

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 2>a big corporate budget. So I think it's really interesting.

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 2>And you can still cancel all your flights and everything,

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and you're well, your flights obviously have all these crazy rules,

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>but the hotel rooms are not sort of prepaid, so

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 2>you're good.

0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>You can still cancel them and change them if you

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 1>need to. There it is upside dot com.

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 2>It's meant for kind of entrepreneurs, small businesses, people that

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 2>don't have the giant concurs of the world. So that's

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 2>what we use at our work is Concur, which is

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of a big, big corporate travel company. Funny, I

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 2>was in Cabo and who is partying like crazy having

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a giant party at my hotel? But Concur the big

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 2>company that I have to justify all of my expense

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 2>reports too.

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sitting there.

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 2>In Cabo on vacation and I go up to the

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Concur people. I'm like, oh, you guys are having a nice,

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 2>big fun party and I gotta justify my three dollars

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks to your software program, thank you very much, And

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>they laughed, But that's what it is. It's all like algorithmic.

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like it kind of looks through your expense report

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 2>and makes you justify things that it thinks are sort

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 2>of out of the norm. Three one zero five nine

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 2>four three zero zero three is the phone number. The

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 2>lines are open. You can call in right now. Three

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 2>one zero five nine four three zero zero three. Let

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>me tell you about a cool app that I am

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 2>just digging. I was on this panel last week, and

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, we asked the panelists kind of some of

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 2>their tools and tricks and tips and all that good stuff,

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and this one was really cool and I never even

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 2>heard of it. It's called video Shop, and this lets

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 2>you edit video on your iPhone or your Android. Video

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Shop is the is the app, and basically video Shop

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>is two dollars. I bought it for the iPhone and

0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:02.280
<v Speaker 2>it's also for Android, so two bucks. And it does everything.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, from what I've seen, this is really full feature, so.

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Check it out.

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 2>It lets you do sound effects, it lets you do music,

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 2>you can trim out little parts of the video you

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>don't want.

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 1>You can do slow motion, combined.

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Clips, reverse duplicate subtitles, animated titles, filters, transitions, photos and

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:20.799
<v Speaker 2>it's it's really cool. I used it the other day

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 2>to make a little compilation video on Snapchat. I took

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:25.479
<v Speaker 2>like five little pictures and put them together.

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 1>It was so easy.

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Video Shop is the website. And by the way, I'll

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>put all this stuff on the on my website. Rich

<v Speaker 2>It cool.

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I have a qritch. I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm a

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 3>little concerned about I have an iPhone Success Plus, which

0:35:56.280 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I love. I actually I edit and I even edit

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 3>on the phone.

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 5>It's really great.

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Comes with the I movie. But I noticed the latest

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 3>OS up up upgrade. I know I'll have to get

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 3>a new phone soon. I notice the my phone drains faster,

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 3>my battery dreams faster. And I don't know if that's

0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:16.120
<v Speaker 3>an because the OS update, or it's just my phone

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 3>is aging.

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Or well, it's probably a little bit of both.

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Now have you done all the updates that have come out,

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 2>because there's been like four of them, I think, or three. Okay,

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:26.640
<v Speaker 2>so you've done them all, okay, and and so you've

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 2>restarted your phone and it still happens. It drains like faster,

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 2>like like significantly faster than you remember.

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:38.640
<v Speaker 3>It's it's after you know, I particycle like crazy, and

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 3>it's still it's still draining. And it's funny because I

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 3>just put up five K this, my five K Retina

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Apple Apple, my iMac.

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 5>It's great.

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's amazing.

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Really it seems like it's oh, they're great, and and

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 3>it seems like it's even Maybe it's also I don't know,

0:36:56.719 --> 0:37:01.360
<v Speaker 3>because it's really changed because the iPhone and the computer,

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, they sink in like automatically, and maybe that's

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:06.719
<v Speaker 3>it too. I don't know if that's all in my mind.

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 2>It was well, okay, what do you mean they sink automatically?

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Are you plugging it into sync or are you doing

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 2>wireless sink?

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Well? I do, I defin to do both well if.

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 2>You yeah, if you're doing if you're doing wireless sink,

0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 2>you know through iTunes, that could be draining the battery

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>if it's sitting next to your computer all day and

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 2>it's doing that like over and over.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.360
<v Speaker 1>It could be a couple things. So here's what I recommend.

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So first off, I think that you have to go

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 2>through your phone, and it could be because your phone

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 2>is aging.

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 1>A little bit.

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>You said this was a success or a six success plus. Okay, okay,

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 2>success plus. I mean that's really not that old, so

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 2>you should not have problems. The only thing, when did

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you get this phone? Like, did you buy it when

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 2>it first came out, like the first day?

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I bought it last year in Okay.

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 2>So you didn't get one of the first batches because

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 2>the first batch of six S devices were definitely recalled

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 2>because of battery issues. My wife's was part of that,

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and I brought it to the Apple store and they

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>gave her a new battery. So I would go on

0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:12.279
<v Speaker 2>the website, Go on Apple. Okay, let me tell you

0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>what to search. Okay, so go to Apple battery replacement. Okay, sorry,

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Apple battery recall. Let me see if that brings it up.

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you go to Okay, here it is so

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 2>iPhone success program for unexpected shutdown issues. Now this just

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:32.080
<v Speaker 2>says six S, but I'm not sure if it means

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:35.840
<v Speaker 2>success and success plus put in your serial number, okay,

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and it will tell you if your battery is one

0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of the recalled batteries. Now I put in my wife's

0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 2>serial number and boom, it was immediately recalled. I brought

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>it into the Apple store two days later. She had

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 2>not a brand new phone, but they just replaced the battery.

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 2>And what would happen is the telltale sign is that

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:53.279
<v Speaker 2>your battery drains really fast, and it could be that

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 2>it could be just something else on your phone after

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 2>the upgrade. But what I'd recommend to do Roxand is

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:02.480
<v Speaker 2>look at that first off. And then the second thing

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I would do is I would look at what you

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 2>have installed on your phone, So go through, get rid

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of all the apps you don't need, reset your phone,

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:12.719
<v Speaker 2>see if that helps. And then the third thing I

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 2>would do is go through in your settings and look

0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:18.800
<v Speaker 2>at your location services and make sure all the apps

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that you think don't need access to your location all

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the time set that to only when using this app,

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully that helps. Otherwise you can go nuclear on it,

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 2>and you can wipe the entire phone, and then you

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 2>can start over and install everything once again on the phone.

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully that helps.

0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I know your success should not be breaking down at

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 2>this point. I mean it's not that old so and

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the new update, I mean, yeah, you might take a

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 2>little battery hit, but it shouldn't be that bad. I

0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 2>think something's hanging up on this phone. So good question, Roxanne.

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hi, who am I speaking with? My Name's are

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Vella Arvela. How you doing today?

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:48.279
<v Speaker 6>Doing good? Thank you?

0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 5>I have a question.

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 6>Sure I got a sam Fun fifty inch smart TV

0:40:56.440 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 6>about four years ago and is months ago. All of

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 6>a sudden the picture went dark, so I believe if

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:10.319
<v Speaker 6>they have picture tubes whatever nowadays they have must be

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:14.720
<v Speaker 6>burnt out. I still had full audio. Okay, My question

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 6>is in that it was only four years old. Do

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:23.760
<v Speaker 6>you have a recommendation on a TV that I actually

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 6>I went online and this is apparently a common problem.

0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, let me just tell you one thing real

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 2>quick about the common because I see this a lot.

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Like basically, anything you search online, you'll find someone that

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 2>had the same thing happened. It doesn't necessarily mean it's

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a common thing. Like I will look for the most

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.839
<v Speaker 2>minute things that are happening with my gadgets, and like

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:46.800
<v Speaker 2>someone will say that this similar thing happened. So it

0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean it's necessarily common. But yes, someone could have

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 2>experienced it. But the whole Okay, so the screen is dark,

0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and but you still hear sound.

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:59.319
<v Speaker 6>What can I help you with a recommendation? Maybe on

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 6>a brand that I thought Samsung's were supposedly good. Also,

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 6>I hear sonis are good. But four years for a TV?

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, way fifty yeah, no, that a TV does

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:17.360
<v Speaker 2>not last. No, four years is a lifetime of a

0:42:17.400 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 2>TV is way longer. I had my visio for I

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 2>think six years and it was still just perfect exactly.

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 2>And now my newer TVs they're going, they're going, you know,

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>they're a little bit you know, they're a little bit newer,

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:31.720
<v Speaker 2>but they're just fine. No, a TV should last longer.

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Was there anything that happened to this TV? Did it

0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 2>get dropped, did it get water? Anything that could have

0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>been weird about it?

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 6>No, I was just sitting there watching it. It was

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 6>actually on, and all of a sudden the screen went dark.

0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so now some people in the past have said

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.319
<v Speaker 2>that this could be an overheating problem. It could have

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you tried spraying some canned air into the back of

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 2>it cleaning it out. I have not, Okay, so that

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:57.360
<v Speaker 2>could be one thing. So what I do first is,

0:42:57.480 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, do you like this TV? Or you are

0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you fine with buying a new TV because new TVs

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.080
<v Speaker 2>are not that expensive these days. Although I feel like

0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I understand that you feel a little bit burned by

0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 2>getting a TV that's only four years old and you

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>got to pay for a new one, so you just

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:10.760
<v Speaker 2>want to get a new one and cut your losses

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 2>or do you want to try to make this thing work?

0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 6>Well, I don't want to pay for repair because at.

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 2>That point, yeah, exactly, I understand, because if you pay

0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 2>for repair that's three four hundred bucks. You can get

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a new TV for that price. So here's my rankings

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 2>of TVs. So if you want the best value in

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a TV, I would recommend going with a Viseo.

0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.799
<v Speaker 1>So I have a Visio as my main TV. It's fantastic.

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:33.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean the colors when I compare it to my

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Sony TV are definitely not as good. It's just not

0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:39.479
<v Speaker 2>as good quality. But does that mean that when people

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:42.319
<v Speaker 2>come to my house you're like, oh, this TV is horrendous. No, No,

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't notice if you're not looking at them faced

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to you know, side by side. But once you see

0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:50.160
<v Speaker 2>a Sony you will say, oh my gosh, you know

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 2>this is this is crazy? How much better it is?

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 2>So what I think at the pinnacle at the top

0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:58.399
<v Speaker 2>is definitely Sony. And then after that I would say

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 2>that LG and Sam's are both really good. Now you

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get another Samsung because you already feel

0:44:03.480 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 2>like you've gotten burned by them.

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 1>So that leaves LG.

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 2>So Sony's going to be really expensive, so you probably

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 2>don't want that one. I would probably recommend an LG

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 2>or a Visio. I mean, I think Visio. I can't

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.880
<v Speaker 2>recommend video enough. I was actually the first person in

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the nation to recommend and showcase Viseo on the Today

0:44:22.000 --> 0:44:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Show going back ten years now. Can you believe that?

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And I'll never never forget. I couldn't believe it because

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:29.799
<v Speaker 2>I was I was at Senet at the time, and

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I remember this guy at Visio emailing me and saying, Hey,

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 2>this a forty two inch TV for two thousand bucks.

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:38.120
<v Speaker 2>And at the time, every other TV that I tested

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 2>was like closer to three or four thousand dollars, And

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 2>I said, how can you do that? And sure enough

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.280
<v Speaker 2>that company you've seen him. I mean, they're everywhere. They

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:49.240
<v Speaker 2>have sold so many TVs. Now there's two other TVs

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I like that I can recommend. If you want to

0:44:50.760 --> 0:44:53.399
<v Speaker 2>get a smart TV with the smarts built in. There's

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 2>a really nice TV from Roku and TCL. It's called

0:44:56.920 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the TCL Roku TV, So that one's really nice. And

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:04.440
<v Speaker 2>then another one I really like is from Amazon called

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the Amazon Element TV. And if you go on their website,

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 2>just search Amazon Element. And the cool thing about those

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 2>two TVs is that one has Roku built in, which

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 2>is a nice Roku interface, and one has one has

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Fire TV built in. And not only do they

0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:23.600
<v Speaker 2>have those built in, you can also attach an antenna

0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to those TVs and watch your local programming, which is

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:27.279
<v Speaker 2>really nice in.

0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 1>This day and age.

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:30.239
<v Speaker 6>Oh whoa, Okay.

0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so and I know, I know.

0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Obviously any TV can take an antenna, but not necessarily.

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:39.359
<v Speaker 2>These integrate it into the smart TV screen, so that's

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the big difference. Of course, you can always switch an input,

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:45.319
<v Speaker 2>but this makes it on your main TV. So I've

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:46.759
<v Speaker 2>tested both of those TVs.

0:45:46.840 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 1>They're really cool.

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 2>They're a great price point, so I think that that

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.439
<v Speaker 2>would probably be a good good value for you.

0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 6>So perfect I wrote it all down.

0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you so much.

0:45:57.440 --> 0:45:58.400
<v Speaker 6>Watch your show every day.

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, thank you so much for calling. I appreciate it.

0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much.

0:46:01.640 --> 0:46:05.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, wow you guys fast and furious with the

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:08.440
<v Speaker 2>questions here, let me get two questions real quick. Let

0:46:08.480 --> 0:46:10.799
<v Speaker 2>me just do one question here real quick. Okay, this

0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 2>is from is Darro is Isidro?

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it ro?

0:46:17.719 --> 0:46:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Sorry I totally butchered your name, but

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 2>here's the question. Mister Demiro was wondering where my wife

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and I can sell are used but an excellent shape,

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Galaxy Note fours and Galaxy S fives. We have two

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.760
<v Speaker 2>of each and recently opted out for iPhone sevens. Ooh,

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:36.439
<v Speaker 2>your time and help are greatly appreciated. Well, here's the deal.

0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:40.360
<v Speaker 2>So what I would say, I would try Facebook first.

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the first place to sell these things. And I'm

0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:45.120
<v Speaker 2>not saying Facebook marketplace. Just put a post on Facebook

0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:47.359
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, anyone want to buy a Galaxy Note

0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 2>four or a Galaxy S five. You never know, you've

0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of friends out there someone might need

0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 2>a new phone. That's my first place because that's going

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to be you cheapest because it doesn't cost you anything

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 2>and you can do the transaction with your friends or

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 2>your neighbors. Then here's my rankings. If you want the

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 2>most money but the most work, go on eBay. So

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 2>eBay is going to be the most work to sell

0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:10.839
<v Speaker 2>your phone, but you're also going to get the most

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 2>return on it. And now both these phones Galaxy S

0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 2>five Galaxy Note four that you're not gonna get very

0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.480
<v Speaker 2>much for these they're not worth that much, but you

0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:20.760
<v Speaker 2>know you will find someone to buy them, I assume.

0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:22.959
<v Speaker 2>But you're not gonna get that much. At least on eBay,

0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you'll get a fair market price because you know it's

0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 2>a perfect store. Glide g l yde. This is a

0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:35.239
<v Speaker 2>place to buy and sell phones. Now you don't have

0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 2>to do that much work with Glide, but you also

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.919
<v Speaker 2>don't get as much. So I'm going down the list here,

0:47:41.080 --> 0:47:43.880
<v Speaker 2>so you're getting less and less everything I mentioned. But

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Glide might not support these two models. You can definitely

0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:48.839
<v Speaker 2>sell iPhones on there and some of the newer Samsungs,

0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:51.640
<v Speaker 2>but not maybe not these devices.

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's Glide g l y d E.

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 2>And finally, if you want to just unload these things

0:47:57.480 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 2>as fast as you can, just go to get zel

0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:03.840
<v Speaker 2>dot com and Gazelle is fast. That's the name that

0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.319
<v Speaker 2>will be the fastest way to unload a phone, but

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 2>you also get the very least And if you want

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:11.560
<v Speaker 2>to do it locally, there's a service called Eco ATM.

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:13.839
<v Speaker 2>You can look up those in your area. They're owned

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:16.440
<v Speaker 2>by Coinstar, and you literally just deposit your phone in

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:19.359
<v Speaker 2>this thing. It's like a little recycling kind of electronics

0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:22.799
<v Speaker 2>recycling bin, but it's digital, so you throw your phone

0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 2>in there and it gives you like a little gift

0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 2>card for whatever it's worth. These phones will not be

0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:29.320
<v Speaker 2>worth very much, so good question. Thanks for asking that.

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, before we go, let me just tell you

0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:33.360
<v Speaker 2>some Alexa Easter egg So if you haven't, oh gosh,

0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I said it again. Sorry if you have one of

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:39.720
<v Speaker 2>those Amazon Smart sneakers. If you have an Amazon Smart Speaker,

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 2>here's some of the things you can say for Halloween.

0:48:43.239 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 2>You can say, blank, what should I be for Halloween?

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Blank? What's your favorite scary movie? Blank? What are you

0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>being for Halloween? Blank?

0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's get spooky? Blank, sing a spooky song. Or you

0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:00.840
<v Speaker 2>can ask for some Halloween jokes. You can ask for

0:49:00.880 --> 0:49:05.120
<v Speaker 2>some Halloween hacks. And if you have kids at home,

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:09.759
<v Speaker 2>you can do Scooby Doo Mystery theater. This is an

0:49:09.760 --> 0:49:14.920
<v Speaker 2>interactive storytelling skill for kids and families. So basically all

0:49:14.920 --> 0:49:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you have to do is say, oh, you have to

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:22.080
<v Speaker 2>enable the skill and say blank open Scooby Doo. And

0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I think if you just say that to a it

0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:28.920
<v Speaker 2>will say I don't have that skill yet, can you please?

0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You want me to enable that skill? And then you

0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 2>can enable the skill. So again blank open Scooby Doo. So,

0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:36.400
<v Speaker 2>if you want to have some fun with miss A.

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:38.640
<v Speaker 2>You can say what's your favorite scary movie?

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:40.840
<v Speaker 1>What are you being for Halloween? Halloween jokes?

0:49:41.200 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And if you're into Stranger Things, I've got some Halloween

0:49:46.320 --> 0:49:49.319
<v Speaker 2>some Stranger Things Easter eggs for you, so you can

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:51.360
<v Speaker 2>say ay yes. And by the way, I see on

0:49:51.360 --> 0:49:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the Facebook Live Adam asks can a spit out candy? Yes,

0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:57.160
<v Speaker 2>she can because you can order stuff through her, so

0:49:57.239 --> 0:49:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you can ask for hey, order me some candy.

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Try saying to A for Stranger Things? Are we in

0:50:04.680 --> 0:50:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the upside down? Friends? Don't lie? Do you like waffles? Now?

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I only watched the first episode of Stranger Things, so

0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess I need to catch up on that. So

0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not versed on the whole waffle hack, but I

0:50:19.600 --> 0:50:22.040
<v Speaker 2>know that's a recurring theme because Lift is doing some

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:26.200
<v Speaker 2>rides with a Stranger Things mode, and I guess the

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.000
<v Speaker 2>waffle is there too.

0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:31.840
