1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: The other announcements from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, and there 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: are a lot of them. Hey guys, what's going on. 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm Rich damiro This is Rich on Tech Daily. On 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: the last podcast, I talked about all of the things 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: happening with iOS twelve when that launches later this year. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: But in this podcast, I'm gonna take a look at 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: some of the other things that Apple mentioned at WWDC 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Apple Watch, Apple TV, maccomputers, 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: and more. Let's start with Apple Watch, which I think 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: is the best wearable on the market. I also love 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: my Fitbit Versa, which works with iOS and Android, but 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: it definitely has less features and options than the Apple Watch, 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: but also a lower price tag. Now, the new software 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: for Apple Watch will be called Watch OS five, and 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to work on the first generation of 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: Apple Watches, which are going on three years old. Now, clearly, 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: these are not like a Rolex that you can pass 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: along to the next generation. These things have a lifespan. 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Several new features are coming to Watch, including automatic workout detection, 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: which will be a really nice addition, plus a feature 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: called walkie Talkie. This will let you send short bursts 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: of audio back and forth right from your wrist to 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: another Apple Watch user. It kind of reminds me of 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: Next Tell back in the day Pleae bleep. But The 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: Verge got a hands on demo and it seems like 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: it's more like a FaceTime audio call. Once you initiate it, 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: then you can do sort of these little back and forths. 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: But if you stop talking for about five minutes, you're 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to reinitiate the walkie talkie process. And it 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: sounds like Apple is still working on the details, especially 31 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: that time out period. Apple Podcasts is coming to the 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 1: Apple Watch, which is a big win for this growing area. 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna be able to store podcasts like this 34 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: right on the watch itself. Now, a podcast app I 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: like called Overcast already does this, but apparently and I 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: have not tried it, but the transfer process is a 37 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: bit slow. So hopefully with native support from Apple, the 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: new podcast app will download to the watch using Wi 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Fi while you're charging, so every sort of happens in 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: the background and a lot faster. Apple Watch just continues 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: to get better and better. I think this is one 42 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: of the biggest growth areas for Apple right now, and 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: I just wish maybe they would get Spotify on there. 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool. Apple is also releasing the 45 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: second version of AR kit. This is what developers use 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: to create augmented reality apps on the iPad and iPhone. 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: Apple's making their own app called Measure, which will be 48 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: included in iOS twelve. It's kind of like a virtual 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: measuring tape that can quickly tell you the size of 50 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: objects that you pointed at in real life. Apple also 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: worked with Pixar to create a new open file format 52 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: for AR, which should help the platform grow because now 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: there's a standard that people can work with them. When 54 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: they share it, they know people can open it. I 55 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: played a game at WWDC called swift Shot. This is 56 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: something that Apple created as a test, really just to 57 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: inspire developers and to show what's possible. The game is 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: played using the screen of the iPad as a lens, 59 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: and you tap the screen to actually engage these slingshots, 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: and on the table in front of you you see 61 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: a giant playspace filled with all kinds of blocks and slingshots, 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: but it's all in virtual reality, so you don't actually 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: see it in front of you unless you're looking through 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: the iPad screen. It's really interesting you attempt to knock 65 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: down your opponent's slingshots before they can knock down yours. 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: It's not a game that will be released to the 67 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: general public, but it shows just how powerful this platform 68 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: can be in creating entirely new ways to play. All right, 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: let's move on now to Mac os. The next new 70 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: release will be called Mojave, and it looks like a 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: big one for starters. You're gonna get a dark mode, 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: which makes your screen easier on the eyes in low 73 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: light settings, or just really cool in general. Plus, several 74 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: iOS apps are making their way to the Mac desktop 75 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: for the first time ever, including news, stocks, voice, memos, 76 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: and Home, which you use to control your smart home devices. 77 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Apple also showed off some really powerful tools when it 78 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: comes to screenshotting, video capture, and markup right from quick Look. 79 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: This is when you tap the space bar to preview 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: a file. I love that feature. Now you're gonna be 81 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: able to manipulate files right from that window. That's pretty genius. 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: And when it comes to Apple TV, several little things 83 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: happening here with tvOS twelve For starters, Apple TV four 84 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: K is gonna get an upgrade to use Dolby at 85 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: most audio now, when Apple announced this, it literally sounded 86 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: like a little earthquake happened in the auditorium. It rumbled 87 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: that much. It reminds me a lot of the THHX 88 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: bumper you would see and here in movie theaters back 89 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: in the day. iTunes movies that you own will be 90 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: automatically upgraded with the improved Dolby at most audio if available. 91 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: There's also a new screensaver on Apple TV literally shot 92 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: by NASA in outer space, so that's gonna be pretty cool. 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: And screen savers finally get the feature that I've been 94 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: asking for forever, text on the screen that tells you 95 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: what amazing place you're looking at, so no more guessing. 96 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: And finally, a feature called zero sign in will help 97 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: you access movies and TV shows on the various video 98 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: apps without signing in at all with your cable company 99 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: name and password. This happens all the time where my 100 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: kids want to watch something on one of their apps 101 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: and I have to sign in again. It's such a pain. 102 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: But in the future, as long as you're on the 103 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: same Internet account as your cable account, you'll be authenticated 104 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: in the background, and you might be thinking so for 105 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: me personally, this would not work because I have Charter 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: for my cable and then I have DirecTV Now for 107 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: my service that I sign in with, so that wouldn't 108 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: work for me. But I get what they're trying to 109 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: do here. Charter and all these other cable companies want 110 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: to make this work because guess what, now you're gonna 111 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: want to subscribe to cable TV through them as well 112 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: as Internet, and they just won that battle. By the way, 113 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Charter Spectrum is going to be the first to implement 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: that feature, and they're also working with Apple in a 115 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: different way as well. They're going to give customers the 116 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: option to ditch their cable box entirely for an Apple 117 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: TV later this year. And this is pretty compelling because 118 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: if they offer me all of the same features as 119 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: Direct TV Now, including a DVR and my local channels, 120 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: why wouldn't I have both on the same bill plus 121 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: zero sign in. There you have it some of the 122 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: biggest announcements from WWDC. If you want to hear the 123 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: ones that have to do with iOS twelve, check the 124 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: last podcast. Thanks so much for listening. You can find 125 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: links to everything I talk about here, including a post 126 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: on my behind the scenes at WWDC on my website. 127 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Just go to richon tech dot TV. I'm Rich Tomiro. 128 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: Talk to you real soon.
