So I 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.160 love answering your questions. And let's just start with something 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.720 that's happening real quick in the news right now as 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.360 we speak. So Apple has had kind of a rough run. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.200 Two things that are going on with Apple right now 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.840 that are just crazy. So number one, there's a character 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.720 that if you send it to the iPhone, it will 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.399 crash the iPhone, not just the iPhone, but also the 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.920 Apple Watch and mac os. So it's an Indian character. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.960 It's a character of the Telugu language, which is spoken 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.040 by about seventy million people in India. And I don't 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.280 even know what it looks like. I mean, it just 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.120 looks like a little I don't know, snake or something. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.480 But it's a character that if you send it to 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.360 the iPhone, it will crash it. So don't do this. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.359 In fact, the websites aren't even copying, letting you copy 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.280 and paste the character because it's that dangerous, so don't 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.000 do that. But yeah, so Apple, I guess they tried 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.320 this out on a bunch of phones and it crashes. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.360 The whole thing makes your phone go into bootloop. So 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.320 do not try this at home. Not something you even 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.600 want to try out. But apparently on iOS eleven point three, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.240 which is the next version coming out that beta, it 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.600 is immune to it, so I guess it's already fixed. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.440 Apple already knows about this. But the problem is they 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.520 can't just send out a little tiny update every single day, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.000 even though it seems like we've gotten a lot of 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.079 updates from Apple lately, but that one you're gonna have 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.200 to wait for. The good news is I mean, unless 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.359 you live in India, you're probably not sending this character 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.520 a lot. So it is a problem. But you know, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.720 these kind of things happen, all right. So here's the 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.760 other thing happening with Apple. We talked about the home 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.080 Pod last week. This is their three hundred and fifty 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.600 dollars smart speaker. Well, now there's a little problem with 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.520 that speaker, and you have my review on it. The 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.000 thing sounds amazing, but it's very limited because all it 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.800 gives you is Apple Music. So if you're an Apple 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.440 Music subscriber, that's awesome. But otherwise, I mean, what are 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840 you gonna do with this thing. You can't get iHeartRadio 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.959 on it, you can't get Pandora on it, you can't 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:21.000 get anything on it except Apple Music. So it's very limited. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.000 But it sounds great. But here's the problem. You put 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.760 it on a wooden desk or a wooden piece of 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.080 furniture and it's gonna leave a ring on the bottom. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.000 That's not good. Apparently there's some kind of oil or 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:36.200 something that's in the silicone base that is causing leaving 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.400 a little ring behind, and so already there is well. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.960 Apple's response to this was, hey, look, you know what, 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.840 that's pretty typical for a silicone what do they call 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.600 vibration dampening silicone base to leave mild marks when placed 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.960 on wooden surfaces. And they said that Echo Dot and 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:59.800 Sono Swan reportedly can also leave similar marks. And they said, look, 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.840 you can wipe it down, wipe down your table, or 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.640 you can you know, they go away after a while. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.040 So it's funny. When we were testing this out on 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.240 my kitchen table, I put this thing down, no joke, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.280 for a minute or two. We were just shooting our segment, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.160 and when I picked it up and moved it to 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.920 a different spot, there was the ring. And my photographer 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.560 and I both looked at this and we're like, wait 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.880 a second, what's going on there? And you know, I 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.719 just thought it was my table was kind of like greasy. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.039 Maybe there's a film on top of it that you know, 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.720 just wasn't agreeing with this thing. But no, apparently a 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.479 lot of people are having this problem. So already, a 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:36.599 company called Pad and Quill have a full grain leather, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.440 marine grade stitched coaster for your home pod that's nineteen 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.040 ninety five, and it is interesting. I will tell you this. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.400 If you have the Google Home Max, it does ship 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.359 with a little rubber pad that you put underneath it. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.960 So I don't know, maybe they knew that theirs would 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.400 do the same thing. I'm just saying, there's comes with something. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 So phone line is open. Three one zero five nine 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.680 four three zero zero three three one zero five nine 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.279 four three zero zero three. Don't be shy, go ahead, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.680 give me a call. The phone line is open. You 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.760 don't have to show your face. All you gotta do 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.600 is call. Let's take some of your comments from the 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.320 live stream, and Carlos says, Apple's starting to look like 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.279 Apple from the eighties. We all know what happened then Ouch. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.160 Peter says, Echo Dot stinks. I have it. I'd rather 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.160 have Google. You know. Look, Alexa does a lot of stuff, 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.520 but to me, personally, I think that Google is just 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.520 killing it when it comes to voice commands, and that's 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.000 just that's where my money is right now. Siri is 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.600 fantastic for simple tasks. I think the home Pod is 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.000 gonna be great if you're an Apple Music subscriber, but 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:46.680 otherwise I'm all about Google. And let's see where else 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.599 do we have. Cynthia says, I wonder if it's from 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.240 the heat, so that could be it. It could be 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.320 from the heat, but I'm not sure. All right, let's 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.760 take our first caller seven one four. You're on with Rich. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.800 Hey, I have a question about why s body Wi 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:04.520 Fi in your house? 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:05.960 Okay, who am I speaking with? 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.120 This is Debbie and you sent you replied to my 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.440 email today, which is great. So I had our cable 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.839 people come out and I was having a lot. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.880 Of unal internet problems. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.560 And issues from Wi Fi and I use everything Wi 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.160 Fi and I'll plug in, and they suggested to get 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.000 a mesh router. Yes, I don't even understand what it 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.039 is or how it works. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.640 Okay, well I'm glad. Who do you have for your cable? 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.200 Who's your Internet spectrum? Okay, so I have spectrum. I 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.840 have a mesh system in my house. It will change 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.640 your life. So here's what meshes versus the old way. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.440 So the old way is you'd have that router that 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:42.960 they give you in the middle of your house. It 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.080 has a little may have an intenta on it. May 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.440 it used to. Nowadays they don't really have antennas. But 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.680 it would put out a Wi Fi signal and that 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.320 Wi Fi signal would be really good right by the box, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.320 and then of course the further you get out from 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.880 that box, it just sort of dissipates. Right Well, right 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.200 then we came into the world where we had these 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.080 things called boosters, and the booster would take that little 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.040 signal and it would kind of boomerang it to other 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.480 parts of your house. But guess what if you're taking 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.520 a signal that's already not very strong and boomerang it 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.680 somewhere else, how do you think that signal is going 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.360 to be Debbie. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.280 Yeah, I have one of those, and it doesn't work 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:17.200 either exactly. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.160 So now we have the new thing, which are the 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.520 mesh networks. And these mesh networks actually create one big 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.360 solid network around your house with the same strong signal 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.760 in every room. And so here's how they work. You 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.560 plug one in by your router. Then you plug another 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.080 one in in like let's say one room over or 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.120 two rooms over, whatever. As long as you can get 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.640 a strong signal to the next one, it'll work. Then 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.680 you put another one in another room of your house. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.400 So I have about three or four of them in 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.680 my house. You can go crazy if you want, but 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.600 they do work really well. Once you get these things 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.760 in your house, they create one network that literally just 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.200 blankets your house in the same exact strong signal in 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.280 every corner. And so with Spectrum, if you're paying for 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.400 one hundred one hundred down, let's say usually it's either 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.840 one hundred or three hundred down. If you're really paying 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.440 for the high end Spectrum Internet, you will get that 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.000 one hundred down in every room of your house. So, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.040 for instance, I'll do a quick speed test here on 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.240 my computer, and uh, let's see here. So uh, let's see. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.560 I go to the website called fast dot com and 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.520 it's a great website to just kind of check your 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.000 internet and see how it is. And let's see what 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.640 I'm getting right now. So okay, since I'm on the 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.280 phone with you, it's not very good because I'm using 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.040 a lot of bandwidth right now. But normally what I 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.440 get is about one hundred in every room, which I'm 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.680 that's what I'm paying for in every room of my house. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.040 So here's the ones I recommend. That's what you want 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.360 to That's what you called about. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:43.920 Right, Yeah, I want to I want to know that. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.000 And how many you recommend for a house that I 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.200 don't have a huge house, that's only like fifteen hundred 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:49.680 square feet. 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.760 Okay, so for fifteen hundred square feet, you're probably gonna 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.640 be just fine with three of these devices. So here's 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.439 the deal. So there's a couple that you can get. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:03.199 So let's see. That big one is Netgear ORB and 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.599 that one is really is really highly rated, so a 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.400 lot of people like that one. Let me let me 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.960 bring this up on here so you guys can see 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.360 what I'm doing here. Let me move that and there 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.400 it is. Okay, So here's Netgear Orby, and a lot 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.880 of people like this one. It's it's just it's just 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.960 super highly rated. And let's see how expensive it is. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.840 Because it is, they're not cheap, let's put it that way. So, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.840 but I've seen these at like Costco, and you can 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.960 get them for a little bit cheaper. But this is 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.959 the one. When I was in best By quizzing the guy, 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.200 he was telling me that this is the one that 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.440 everyone is buying, which is the Orby system. And let's 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.760 see how much their base their base system, which they 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.520 say covers up to thirty five hundred square feet, let's 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.559 see how much they say their says, come on, it's again, 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.240 it's the Netgear Orby. That's two hundred dollars at Amazon. 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.520 So now here's the thing that's more expensive than your 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.160 typical router, which is probably like one hundred bucks. But 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.520 your internet is going to be so much better. Now 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:03.160 here's the other one. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:03.440 I like. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.680 Google Wi Fi is another one that's really good. And 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.080 the good news about Google Wi Fi is that you 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.319 get a set of three for two hundred and fifty bucks. Okay, 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.480 and that works really well. But here's the problem. And 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.240 if you're listening or watching and you just think you 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.920 need one of these things. You just want to kind 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.320 of soup up your internet with just one. You can 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.200 get a one pack of the Google Wi Fi for 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.440 only one hundred and thirteen dollars. I know, only it's 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:33.120 still expensive. But what I have is the euro system, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.239 and Eero is pretty much the best because they invented 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.839 the entire genre. Okay, so they're the guys that came 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.400 out with it first. But as you might expect, they're 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.280 the most expensive. They're four hundred dollars for three of them. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.560 And so that's the one. I went home to my 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.160 I was at my in laws or my sister's house, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.640 and my brother in law is playing something on Hulu 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.040 and I just it kept buffering, and I said, dude, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.800 you gotta get this system. You gotta get Eero. We 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.480 went out. I went to Best Boy, he gave me 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.640 his credit card. I bought Euro I installed it in 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.560 his house. He could not be happier. It just works 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.320 so well. So those are the three I recommend, and 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:09.840 when you have it, you will be amazed. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.840 Okay, awesome? 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.640 Any other questions about it? 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.240 And is that all I need? Do I have to 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.280 all forget a modem. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.959 Well, here's the deal. So Spectrum gives you the modem, 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.040 so that thing that connects you know, where your internet 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.079 kind of your cable comes into your house. You know 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.880 what I mean, they will they give you that. Spectrum 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.960 supplies that, so this this will connect to the back 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.599 of that right okay, And then what you want to 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.480 do with any of these systems once you install, like 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.760 a Mesh Wi Fi, you want to go into the 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.079 settings on the Spectrum cable modem and you want to 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.520 turn off the Wi Fi that that emanates. So there 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.040 is a way you go on. You go on the 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.480 bottom of the cable modem. It will have a little 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.440 address like an access address. It usually starts with like 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.680 one nine to eight or something like that, or it 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.200 might be called just admin or something like that. You 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.920 type it into your web browser with a username and password. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.280 It's also printed on the bottom of the cable modem, 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.160 and then you will log into that cable modem. I 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.240 know it sounds weird, but then you go in and 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.680 you look for the option to turn off the Wi 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.319 Fi on the cable modem. You don't have to do that, 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.400 but the problem is if you don't, you're gonna have 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.600 a bunch of competing networks in your house, and you 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.960 don't want to do that. So it's much easier to 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.720 just turn that off. And that's that's the thing that 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.800 most people forget to do. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:25.719 Are these easy to set up? 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.640 Super easy? So do you have an iPhone or an Android? 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.240 I did iPhone? 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.560 Okay, So you go on your iPhone. You basically at 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.400 the iPhone, you download the app. It walks you through everything. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.679 It'll say, okay, now turn off your cable modem. Okay, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.200 now plug this in. Connect it to your cable modem. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.400 Now turn on the cable modem. Now turn on the 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.760 little booster whatever you want to call it, the mesh 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.560 Wi Fi system. Then it'll say okay, Now take the 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.200 second one out of the box. Go put it in 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.200 a room that's you know, next door, and plug it 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.680 in and it'll find it. And then it'll say, okay, great, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.280 we found it. We're going to test the speed. It 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.000 looks great. Now you can move on to the next 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.120 one and it will tell you if it's a good 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.920 placement or not. So you can start by placing it 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.360 sort of in, like you know, it's just somewhere where 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.240 you can kind of you just have to use your 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.480 imagination to kind of or I guess use your judgment, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.200 I should say, to figure out where the best placement is. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.360 But then the app will confirm if that's a good placement. Okay, cool, cool, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.560 all right, Debbie call me back. All right, thank you. 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.679 All right, let's look at some of the comments you 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.560 guys are saying on here. So uh Dhalia says, so 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.080 if I upgrade my old Spectrum router will have the 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.439 Mesh network and be faster? Or will I have to 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.360 buy that separately? No, you do have to buy that separately. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.760 So even if you get the better router from Spectrum, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.959 it will still not have the Mesh networking on it. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.840 Alexander says, thanks for thefast dot com info, and Linda 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.080 says three for a small place, and sad and Joe 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.199 says one hundred down or up? Oh man, Joe, I 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.000 wish I had a hundred up. No, one hundred down 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.319 is pretty standard with Spectrum, but upload, I think they 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.720 give you ten on the up. Eight when eight you're 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.160 on with Rich? Who am I speaking with? 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.200 Wow? This is Luana? 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.640 Luana? What's going on? 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:07.920 Well? 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.559 You know I have he may have already answered this question. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.719 But I actually wrote it in a while back. It's 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.480 about the iPhone six and success, the new the battery 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.520 that you're supposed to get for twenty nine dollars. Okay, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.320 I want to know if there was a deadline, and 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.960 also if I mean I'm bringing all those things on 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.800 Facebook about how you shouldn't take it in because you 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.120 have to have these qualifying things. I mean, how do 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.320 I know if I have those qualifying things? My phone 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.760 has been doing this thing where see it on Facebook 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.040 for example at completely lock. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.000 No, you don't. You don't need any any qualifiers anymore 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.320 right now, so you just don't. It's it's twenty nine 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.160 dollars if you have an iPhone. Okay. So what you're 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.080 talking about is basically Apple came out and said, look, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.040 we slow down older phones because as the battery degrades, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.160 we want to make sure those phones have a smooth experience. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.880 And people were outraged because like, wait a second, what 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.880 I can just speed up my phone if I replace 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.560 the battery I already paid to replace my it was 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.880 eighty bucks. And they said, okay, okay, okay, we'll replace 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.680 any battery for thirty dollars and your phone will speed up. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.640 So that's what Luana is referring to. And so if 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.440 you have an iPhone se an, iPhone six six plus, 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.520 six S six s plus, seven seven plus, eight eight plus, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.920 or iPhone ten, they will replace your battery for free. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.000 So I don't have to go to the I could 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.360 go to the app store. I don't have to go 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.320 to the store where I bought the phone from for like, 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.680 you know, I don't know where I go. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.040 No, you just go right to the Just go right 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.840 to the Apple store. Now you want to make an appointment, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.200 that's for sure. And here's the other part. I'm getting 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.400 emails from folks that have tried this, and they said 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.480 that it is they're backlogged so that you may not 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.320 get it right away, you know. So just go into 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.840 the store and see what they say. Now you can 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.960 also do it. You can send it in. Now I've 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.440 done this with my wife's Apple Watch. I could not 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.160 believe how fast it was. I went online, I said 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.400 her Apple Watch had a problem. They sent me a 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.120 box to put her Apple Watch in. I put the 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.560 Apple Watch in that box, and no joke, it must 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.320 have been not the next day, but the next day 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.440 her Apple Watch was back or replacement. I couldn't tell 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.680 if it was new or refurbished. I couldn't tell. But 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.760 you can also do that with your iPhone and that 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.480 might be easier depending on where you live and how 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.920 much backlog there is at your Apple store, you know 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:18.360 what I mean? 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.400 Yeah, yeah, okay, well okay, I'm sorry. What was the 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.240 highest the lowest ever you went to? Because I have 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.840 a fun phone? Who has a iPhone five? Is that 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:26.560 not eligible for? 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:26.920 About? 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.880 iPhone five is not eligible? Here's the phones right here, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.280 iPhone se six basically iPhone se and then six and up, 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.640 so iPhone five that's not part of the program right now, 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.360 so they can they might be able to replace the 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.960 battery on that, but it's it's eighty dollars. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.520 So okay, very good, thank you very much. 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.440 All right, Luana, thanks so much for listening today or watching. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:50.200 Appreciate it. 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.440 Thank you, thank you. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.640 Okay, all right, there you have it. Three one zero 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.280 five nine four three zero zero three. Lots of questions, 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.360 let's see. Rachel says, brilliant. I learned so much listening 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.000 to your responses. Well, thank you, Rachel, and Alina says 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.399 Apple wants money, you know they do. I mean, there 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.720 is an argument for saying that Apple should be giving 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.960 these battery replacements for free. But let's be honest. If 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.320 you if Apple said we're gonna do these battery replacements 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.640 for free, can you imagine how many people would take advantage. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.480 Already everyone's taking advantage of these these battery replacements at 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.920 thirty dollars. Imagine if they were free. Now here's the 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.080 other thing Apple with the new iOS eleven point three, 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.560 which is gonna come out soon, They're gonna give you 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.440 the option to turn off the throttling of your phone. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.679 So if you have one of these phones with an 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.760 older battery, you can take the risk of saying, look, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.320 I'm okay with my phone maybe randomly restarting or not, 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.400 or you know, apps crashing randomly. Because I will take 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.679 that risk, you can You'll be able to turn off 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.560 that feature in the settings. All right, Three two three, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.160 you're on with Rich Who am I speaking with? Oh? 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.000 You're speaking with Jake. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.800 Jake, What's what's on your mind? Yeah? 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.439 I got a pretty question that I was thinking you 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.679 might have a good opinion on. So I have an 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:18.639 original Apple Watch, okay, and the battery it's getting super 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.880 old on it. I mean it's runs out probably by 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.520 like seven o'clock at night. Especially if I work out 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.160 it's gone and really use. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.120
