WEBVTT - WWDC: Features Coming to Apple Watch, TV, Macs & more

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:08.399
<v Speaker 1>The other announcements from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, and there

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of them. Hey guys, what's going on.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rich damiro This is Rich on Tech Daily. On

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the last podcast, I talked about all of the things

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>happening with iOS twelve when that launches later this year.

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>But in this podcast, I'm gonna take a look at

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the other things that Apple mentioned at WWDC

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to the Apple Watch, Apple TV, maccomputers,

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and more. Let's start with Apple Watch, which I think

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is the best wearable on the market. I also love

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>my Fitbit Versa, which works with iOS and Android, but

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>it definitely has less features and options than the Apple Watch,

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>but also a lower price tag. Now, the new software

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>for Apple Watch will be called Watch OS five, and

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to work on the first generation of

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watches, which are going on three years old. Now, clearly,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>these are not like a Rolex that you can pass

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>along to the next generation. These things have a lifespan.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Several new features are coming to Watch, including automatic workout detection,

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>which will be a really nice addition, plus a feature

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>called walkie Talkie. This will let you send short bursts

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of audio back and forth right from your wrist to

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>another Apple Watch user. It kind of reminds me of

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Next Tell back in the day Pleae bleep. But The

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Verge got a hands on demo and it seems like

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>it's more like a FaceTime audio call. Once you initiate it,

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>then you can do sort of these little back and forths.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you stop talking for about five minutes, you're

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to reinitiate the walkie talkie process. And it

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>sounds like Apple is still working on the details, especially

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that time out period. Apple Podcasts is coming to the

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch, which is a big win for this growing area.

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Now you're gonna be able to store podcasts like this

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>right on the watch itself. Now, a podcast app I

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>like called Overcast already does this, but apparently and I

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>have not tried it, but the transfer process is a

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>bit slow. So hopefully with native support from Apple, the

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>new podcast app will download to the watch using Wi

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Fi while you're charging, so every sort of happens in

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the background and a lot faster. Apple Watch just continues

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>to get better and better. I think this is one

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest growth areas for Apple right now, and

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I just wish maybe they would get Spotify on there.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>That'd be kind of cool. Apple is also releasing the

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>second version of AR kit. This is what developers use

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to create augmented reality apps on the iPad and iPhone.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Apple's making their own app called Measure, which will be

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>included in iOS twelve. It's kind of like a virtual

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>measuring tape that can quickly tell you the size of

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>objects that you pointed at in real life. Apple also

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>worked with Pixar to create a new open file format

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for AR, which should help the platform grow because now

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 1>there's a standard that people can work with them. When

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>they share it, they know people can open it. I

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>played a game at WWDC called swift Shot. This is

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>something that Apple created as a test, really just to

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>inspire developers and to show what's possible. The game is

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>played using the screen of the iPad as a lens,

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and you tap the screen to actually engage these slingshots,

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and on the table in front of you you see

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.839
<v Speaker 1>a giant playspace filled with all kinds of blocks and slingshots,

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>but it's all in virtual reality, so you don't actually

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>see it in front of you unless you're looking through

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>the iPad screen. It's really interesting you attempt to knock

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>down your opponent's slingshots before they can knock down yours.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not a game that will be released to the

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>general public, but it shows just how powerful this platform

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>can be in creating entirely new ways to play. All right,

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>let's move on now to Mac os. The next new

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>release will be called Mojave, and it looks like a

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>big one for starters. You're gonna get a dark mode,

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>which makes your screen easier on the eyes in low

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>light settings, or just really cool in general. Plus, several

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>iOS apps are making their way to the Mac desktop

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>for the first time ever, including news, stocks, voice, memos,

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and Home, which you use to control your smart home devices.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Apple also showed off some really powerful tools when it

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to screenshotting, video capture, and markup right from quick Look.

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>This is when you tap the space bar to preview

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a file. I love that feature. Now you're gonna be

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>able to manipulate files right from that window. That's pretty genius.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>And when it comes to Apple TV, several little things

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>happening here with tvOS twelve For starters, Apple TV four

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.119
<v Speaker 1>K is gonna get an upgrade to use Dolby at

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>most audio now, when Apple announced this, it literally sounded

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like a little earthquake happened in the auditorium. It rumbled

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that much. It reminds me a lot of the THHX

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>bumper you would see and here in movie theaters back

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in the day. iTunes movies that you own will be

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>automatically upgraded with the improved Dolby at most audio if available.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>There's also a new screensaver on Apple TV literally shot

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>by NASA in outer space, so that's gonna be pretty cool.

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And screen savers finally get the feature that I've been

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>asking for forever, text on the screen that tells you

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>what amazing place you're looking at, so no more guessing.

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And finally, a feature called zero sign in will help

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you access movies and TV shows on the various video

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>apps without signing in at all with your cable company

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>name and password. This happens all the time where my

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>kids want to watch something on one of their apps

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have to sign in again. It's such a pain.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>But in the future, as long as you're on the

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>same Internet account as your cable account, you'll be authenticated

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>in the background, and you might be thinking so for

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>me personally, this would not work because I have Charter

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>for my cable and then I have DirecTV Now for

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>my service that I sign in with, so that wouldn't

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>work for me. But I get what they're trying to

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>do here. Charter and all these other cable companies want

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to make this work because guess what, now you're gonna

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>want to subscribe to cable TV through them as well

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>as Internet, and they just won that battle. By the way,

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Charter Spectrum is going to be the first to implement

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that feature, and they're also working with Apple in a

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>different way as well. They're going to give customers the

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>option to ditch their cable box entirely for an Apple

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>TV later this year. And this is pretty compelling because

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>if they offer me all of the same features as

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Direct TV Now, including a DVR and my local channels,

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't I have both on the same bill plus

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>zero sign in. There you have it some of the

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>biggest announcements from WWDC. If you want to hear the

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>ones that have to do with iOS twelve, check the

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>last podcast. Thanks so much for listening. You can find

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>links to everything I talk about here, including a post

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on my behind the scenes at WWDC on my website.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Just go to richon tech dot TV. I'm Rich Tomiro.

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Talk to you real soon.
