It's 6 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: also the place where I answer the questions you send me. 7 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm a tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, broadcasting live on my Instagram at 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome to everyone that is listening live. 10 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: Uh someone said, didn't know his side gig was a DJ. Yeah, 11 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: if you're listening to the podcast, you don't realize that. 12 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: I kind of warmed myself up by do a little 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: dance at the beginning of the show before I introduce myself, 14 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: so you know, it just gets the energy up, just 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: gets things going. Man, what a whirlwind. I mean, I 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: went straight from COVID pandemic to literally there are so 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: many things that are coming up on the calendar, so 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: much travel, so many invitations. It's like it just feels 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: like it used to be, and I kind of maybe 20 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: forgot how much I traveled or how many things I 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: got invited to because at this point, there's so many 22 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,639 Speaker 1: invites to different places and I'm talking around the world 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: that there's just no way I can do them all. 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: So it's great, don't get me wrong. But I was 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: just in New Jersey. If you've been following my saga 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: of my new fitted suit, my Indo Chino suit, I 27 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: got to wear it for the first time at the 28 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: wedding I went to. It was awesome, very very tight fit. 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: I will tell you that I've never had such a 30 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: fitted suit. People seem to like it, but it is 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: definitely I would say, you know, it's one of those 32 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: things where I felt like I was like, can I 33 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: sit down in this suit or not? But it's definitely 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: a different feeling and you do feel good in it 35 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: because it is so fitted. So that was kind of cool. 36 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: New Jersey was great. Stayed in this hotel called the 37 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Canopy by Hilton in Jersey City, which I've never stayed 38 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: in a Canopy, but I absolutely loved it because it's 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: just like it wasn't an expensive hotel, but it was 40 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: a very modern hotel, so I had like modern amenities, 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Like the room was just very nice and clean and neat. 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: They had like water refill stations at the every floor, 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: like near the elevator. They had like a cool like 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, outdoor area which was kind of cool with 45 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: like a craft cocktail bar, so that was nice. It 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: was just really nice. The people at the front desk 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: were really friendly, so it was just really really nice. Then, 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: of course I got up to the Apple event right after. 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: I was home for a day. Then I went up 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: to Coopertino. And I'm not kidding Apple, you know, love 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: them or hate them, They they really attention to detail. 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: And I'm talking you know, every journalist that goes up 53 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: there is warmly greeted personally. They are you know, someone 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: has you have a point to point contact. It is 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: very well done. And so I got up to Coopertino. 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: We did the first Apple event in three years in 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: the Steve Jobs Theater, which was really cool. They had 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: WWDC in there just a little bit, but this was 59 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the first time we were like actually in the theater. 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: So the Apple event was was phenomenal, except for the 61 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: fact that Apple has decided it seems that it's easier 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: to do pre taped presentations, so CEO Tim Cook came 63 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: out on stage for about two minutes, did a brief intro, Hey, welcome, 64 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: thanks for being here, we're all sitting there, and then 65 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: they roll tape. So what you saw at home on 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: the live stream was basically what I was sitting in 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: a theater watching. The big difference is that after the event, 68 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: I got to spend the next forty eight hours hands 69 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: on with all the products, so that was very exciting. 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 1: I got demos of every single new feature. I am 71 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: very well versed in all things new with iPhone. So 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: if you have some questions, definitely put them in the 73 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: chat here. But I'm gonna go through pretty much every 74 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: product that they announced. So the way this show is 75 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: gonna work, it's gonna be Apple centric. I'm gonna do 76 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: kind of the iPhone fourteen, then i'm gonna do the pro, 77 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: then i'm gonna do like the watch, the AirPods, whatever 78 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: else they announced, and in between I will do some questions. 79 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: So first let's start with the iPhone fourteen and fourteen plus. 80 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: So these are pretty much, you know, your standard basic 81 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: iPhones this year around, they have the fourteen and the 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: fourteen plus. You've got a six point one inch screen 83 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: and then a six point seven inch screen. So remember 84 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: Back in the day they had the Mini, the Regular, 85 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: and the Plus. Now it's just the Regular and the Plus. 86 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: I think they've decided that the Mini just wasn't doing 87 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: it for people. So not a whole ton of changes 88 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: for the iPhone fourteen and fourteen plus unless you want 89 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: that big phone, right, if you want that big screen size, 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: go for the fourteen Plus. This is kind of just 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: gonna give you a lot of phone for the money. 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: So they do have a new camera on there, new 93 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: twelve megapixel main camera. It's got a larger sensor, so 94 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna capture some more light. Pictures are gonna look 95 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: better theoretically, I'm gonna have to test that out. But 96 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: they've got a new front facing camera that is that 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: has auto focus for the first time, so that means 98 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: your selfies are going to be in focus, your group 99 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: photos are going to be more in focus because the 100 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: camera actually focuses instead of just being a fixed focus. 101 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Let's see what else ultra wide camera is. Let's see 102 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: that has you know, some improvements to low light photos 103 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: with the ultra wide. So that's always good because the 104 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: ultra Wide on the iPhone, especially the basic model, has 105 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, left a little bit to be desired. Another 106 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: cool new mode is Action Mode. So this is kind 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: of like a GoPro built into the iPhone. And I 108 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: will say I was the only reporter up at the 109 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Coopertino event to take one of the iPhones and run 110 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: around the event space with it in action mode and 111 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: then put that video on social media. And I thought 112 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna get kicked out for doing that, but 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: and yes, all of the Apple people. It went around 114 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: the Apple PR folks, and they definitely knew that I 115 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: did that, and you probably weren't supposed to do, but they, 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: I think since the video looked pretty good, they were like, 117 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: all right, we'll let it pass. So they definitely mentioned 118 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh you did see that, Like, 119 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: oh we saw it, we all saw it. I'm like, 120 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: oh okay. So they kind of frown upon, you know, 121 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: taking the phone from the area and running with it. 122 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I got to push the envelope and 123 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: I was basically the only reporter to do that. If 124 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: you look up online, if you search action mode iPhone fourteen, 125 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: you'll see like blogs posted about my video. So kind 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: of cool, you know, trying to make a name for 127 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: myself in this tech industry a couple of So anyway, 128 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,559 Speaker 1: Action Mode is kind of like this super stabilized video 129 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: that is kind of like a GoPro but on the 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: iPhone it's not perfect, but it will give you some 131 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: more creative options there. Now a couple things to know 132 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: about the iPhone fourteen, the standard one. It's using last 133 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: year's processor, or at least a version of last year's processor, 134 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: so not a big increase there, but you know last 135 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: year's processor A fifteen Bionic is still really good and 136 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: it's super fast and for everything you need on this phone, 137 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be just fine. A couple of new 138 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: things they added to all of the phones this year 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: are crash detection and Emergency SOS through satellite. So crash 140 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: detection I was not able to get a demo off 141 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: because they were not going to put me in a 142 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: car and crash it. But basically it's using these new 143 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: sensors in the iPhone, these accelerometers like a combination of 144 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: things microphone accelerometer, gyroscope, and it is using an algorithm 145 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: to detect G force and all different types of crashes 146 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 1: in a passenger car. So they made that very clear. 147 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: I was trying to understand like what the difference is 148 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: between like a semi truck and a passenger car, but 149 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: it will work in things like an suv, sedan, you know, 150 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: any type of car that a regular person would drive, 151 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: but not necessarily like a commercial car. I'm not sure why, 152 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: but that they made that distinction clear. So and when 153 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: crash detection is, you know, happens just like fall detection. 154 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: You'll get an alert on your phone. It'll say, hey, 155 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: we think you're in a crash. Do you want us 156 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: to call nine one one. If you don't respond within 157 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: ten seconds, then it will immediately dial emergency and it 158 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: will alert your contacts and it will send your location 159 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: to the Emergency Services Emergency SOS via satellite. I did 160 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: get a demo of and it was pretty incredible. So somehow, 161 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how they did this, but they made 162 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: the iPhone, using the standard antennas inside the iPhone, able 163 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: to communicate with satellites eight hundred miles above the Earth. 164 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: I don't understand how they made that possible. It took 165 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: a lot of engineering. They actually set up new relay 166 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: centers where they have Apple employees that will be waiting 167 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: for these messages to come through. For emergencies and relay 168 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: them to nine one one, or they'll connect you right 169 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to nine one one. Again, this is all through messages. 170 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: It's not a phone call, and it happens when you 171 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: dial nine one one if there's no cell phone signal, 172 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: it'll say, all right, let's connect you Vius satellite and 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: on your phone, it will show you how to point 174 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: the phone to the sky to get a clear view 175 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: of a satellite that is traveling like thousands of miles 176 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: an hour. So in that time of your sending and 177 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: receiving a message, you actually have to move the phone 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: a little bit because the satellites moved so fast. But 179 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: it is incredible. That's coming out in November. It will 180 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: be a paid feature, but you are going to get 181 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: two years of that for free. And it's one of 182 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: these things where Apple really kind of just kept hitting 183 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: home the fact that like if you have an iPhone, 184 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: if you have an Apple Watch, you are going to 185 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: be safe from you know, not only can you never 186 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: be stranded, but you are safe in a crash if 187 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: you fall. You know, there's fall detection, there's crash detection, 188 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: there's a mergent and see SOS, I mean they've really 189 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: done a lot with health and safety here, all right. 190 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen and fourteen Plus available in midnight Blue, Starlight. 191 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Purple is the new color, and red starts at one 192 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight gigs up to five hundred and 193 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: twelve gigs. Purple is a new color. And I gotta 194 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: say the purple is really good looking. It's a very 195 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: light purple. And I would say it's not like a 196 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: very you know, anyone can carry the purple color like 197 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: it's it's a preference, you know what I mean. Like 198 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: it's not like you say, oh, I can't carry that 199 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: because you know it's just too purply or it's not 200 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: purplely enough. It's like a very interesting purple color. Friday 201 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: September sixteenth is when the iPhone fourteen is available the Plus. 202 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: If you want the Plus, you have to actually wait 203 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: until October seventh. Pricing for these eight hundred dollars or 204 00:10:51,160 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars, and that is the iPhone fourteen. All right, 205 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: let's get to the first question of the podcast. Roy says, 206 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: you may have mentioned this already, but what companies do 207 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: you recommend to trade in your old iPhone for money 208 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: other than Apple? Thank you? Very much. So here's the deal, roy, 209 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: I recommend you trade in your phone wherever you get 210 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: the most money. Now, I always say every year, it 211 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: goes kind of in a matrix. Right, you're going to 212 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: get the most and it's gonna be the easiest if 213 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: you sell it to a friend, right, so, friend, family member. 214 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: You know, let's go online see how much your phone 215 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: is worth, and then you know, take that price and 216 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of use that as your guide to sell it 217 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: to a friend or family member. That's gonna be the 218 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: simplest because you can do a cash transaction. You're giving 219 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: it someone. You know, you don't have to pay shipping, 220 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: you don't have to ship your phone. You don't have 221 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: to think about all that stuff. Very very easy. After that, 222 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, there are different levels like eBay. Clearly you're 223 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna get the most, but you're gonna have to deal 224 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: with the most kind of hassle. There's sites like Swapa, 225 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: which I believe someone just mentioned on the live chat. 226 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Swapa is a good one as well. A lot of 227 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: people like selling their phone there. Again, you have to 228 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: be a little bit more techy to do something like that. Now, 229 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: if you do something like Gazelle, you're really not going 230 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: to get much for your phone if you do it 231 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: like that. But trade in what's happening right now is 232 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the carriers are giving you more money than your phone 233 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: is worth. So if you're talking about you know, an 234 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: iPhone ten R or an iPhone eleven or twelve or thirteen, 235 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: you know they're giving up to one thousand dollars right now. 236 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: So the trick is with those trade in deals, they 237 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: don't give you the thousand dollars all at once. They 238 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: give it to you over anywhere between I think it's 239 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: twenty four to thirty six months. So basically you are 240 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: on a fixed plan where they give you a little 241 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: bit of cash every month towards your bill so that 242 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you stick with that carrier. And that's why they're giving 243 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: you that extra money. So it's not real money, it's 244 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: not like cold, hard cash, but you are getting almost 245 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: like a free phone because of how much they're giving 246 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: you for that trade in. So again I would just 247 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: talk to your carrier, I talk to Apple, and I 248 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: would talk to you know, look at the websites. You 249 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: know there's some there's a gosh, there's a website that 250 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: I can't I can't remember. But there's like a here 251 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: it is Flipsy flips Y, and so if you put 252 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: your phone into Flipsy, it will search all of the 253 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: different phone websites that you can sell your phone on. 254 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: And you know, the reality with selling your phone is 255 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: it's a little bit scary because you know you are 256 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: taking a leap of faith when you ship that out, 257 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: making sure that the person pays you and all that stuff. 258 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: But I think these systems have gotten pretty good where 259 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: you're not taking too much of a risk anymore. So. Oh, 260 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: the other thing that I should mention about these phones 261 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: is they've done away with the SIM card and so 262 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: now there's what's called an e SIM. This has been 263 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: around for a while, it's just never really been forced 264 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: upon people in America, and now it's going to be. 265 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: So if you get a new iPhone fourteen, there's no 266 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: more transferring that little tiny SIM card to your new phone. 267 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: You actually have to set up what's called an eSIM 268 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: and it's electronic. It happens instantly. You don't even need 269 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: a Wi Fi signal to do it. But it just 270 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: basically transfers your number to an electronic a little electronic 271 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: chip on the phone that's built in and you can 272 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: have up to I think they said six or eight 273 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: of them only too active at a time, but you 274 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: can have you know, a bunch of these different sims. 275 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: So let's say you travel to Italy all the time, 276 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: like would be my dream, you can just keep your 277 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: Italian eSIM in the background and every time you get 278 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: to Italy just activate that eSIM. So yeah, it's kind 279 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: of cool. Eric is asking what's the max capacity on 280 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: the fourteen plus. It is five hundred and twelve gigabytes 281 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: on the fourteen plus. All right, now let's talk about 282 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen Pro and the fourteen Promax. These are 283 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: the phones that the fourteen is fine, but it's just 284 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's your everyday iPhone. The fourteen Pro and 285 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: the Promax is really where you're gonna get going to 286 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: get the best features from Apple, and this is where 287 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: they came out with newer feature. Well, so again, same 288 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: sizees six point one inch, six point seven inch. The 289 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: first thing you're gonna notice is this always on display, 290 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: which is really really quite phenomenal. So your phone screen 291 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: pretty much always stays on. Now if you leave the room, 292 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: if you are away from your phone for a while, 293 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: it will kind of go to sleep secretly, but when 294 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: you come back to it, the always on display will 295 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: come on. So it's using different cues to not drain 296 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: the battery by having the always on display on when 297 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: you're not using it. But if your phone is just 298 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: on your desk at work all day, now it will 299 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: show the time, it will show the date, it will 300 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: show your notifications, it will show you know, the little 301 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: Now you can have complications on there, like the weather, 302 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: your calendar updates, whatever. It's really really cool now always on. 303 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: I know Android phones have had it for years, but 304 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: I will say that I think Apple is doing this 305 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: really nicely. I think the two best always on displays 306 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: that I know of are the Pixel and now I 307 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: would say the iPhone fourteen Pro. So it just looks 308 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: really good and it's in color. Yes you can turn 309 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: it off. Tony's asking if you can turn it off. Yes, yes, yes, 310 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: you can turn it off. People are asking. I did check, 311 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: Yes you can turn it off. I don't know why 312 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: you'd want to turn it off. Apple's done such a 313 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: good job with this, and already I'm finding myself just 314 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: kind of loving the always on display aspect of this phone. 315 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Does it cause burnin. No, it doesn't. I asked Apple 316 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: that question. They sort of laughed at me. They're like, no, 317 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: there's no burnin risk at all. I'm like, okay, sorry 318 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: for asking. So you do have the always on display. Now, 319 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: when you open up the phone, the first thing you 320 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: notice is instead of that notch at the top, there's 321 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: now kind of a pill shaped area. Apple is calling 322 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: this dynamic Island. I know it sounds so silly, sounds 323 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: like a Netflix reality show, But what Dynamic Island is 324 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: It is kind of smart. It's a fusion of both 325 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: the hardware that has to be there, you know, the 326 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: little cameras and sensors that they can't seem to move, 327 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: and also a mix of software. So when you do 328 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: face ID, it shows up in the dynamic island. When 329 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: you're playing music, it shows up in the dynamic island, 330 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: you get a timer going, it shows up in dynamic Island. 331 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: You can tap into the Dynamic Island to change the 332 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: song or check your timer. Apps can use the dynamic 333 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: Island to interact in new ways. So there's gonna be 334 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff that is happening in this 335 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: Dynamic Island, and it's different it's unique. It's kind of 336 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: a good little play on the area of the phone 337 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: that has gotten a lot of criticism from Apple for 338 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: not getting rid of But now it seems to work. 339 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: We'll see how long they stick with it. So dynamic 340 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: island is there. Next, you have a brand new forty 341 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: eight megapixel main camera. So the forty eight megapixel main 342 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: camera still takes pictures in twelve megapixels, so each I'm 343 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: not a camera expert, but each pixel I guess is 344 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: four pixels together, So that means more light gets into 345 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: each pixel, which means if you're taking you know, the 346 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: standard camera of shots, it's gonna they're gonna be faster 347 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: to take, especially in low light, they're gonna be brighter. 348 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: You can take four eight megapixel shots if you want 349 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: to switch to pro raw. So I'm not gonna do that, 350 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: but I know some people may want to if you're 351 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: like a really big time photographer. The thing is you're 352 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: not going to let in as much light when you're 353 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: using all those forty eight megapixels for the pixels, So 354 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: that will definitely take a hit on that aspect of it. 355 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: But there's also different zooms now, So now in addition, 356 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: to the wide angle the one X the three X, 357 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: you now have a two x telephoto zoom. And the 358 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: way they're doing the two X is they're actually sort 359 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: of cropping in on the one X. So that's kind 360 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: of interesting, all right, So what else? The Action Mode, 361 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: this is what I was talking about earlier. It's the 362 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: same thing on the iPhone. On the Pro, it's just 363 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: a little bit better because you have that better main camera. 364 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: But the Action Pro does work on. Action mode does 365 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: work on all the different cameras as far as I know. 366 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: Cinematic mode. You can now go up into four K 367 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: with Cinema Mode at thirty frames and twenty four frames. 368 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: The iPhone fourteen, Pro and Promax also have the crash detection, 369 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: the Emergency SOS and these phones are available in again 370 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: a purple color. It's called Deep purple, and silver gold 371 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: and space black. So my choice here this year is 372 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: going to be silver for me. The deep purple is 373 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: really beautiful. So the deep purple is really really nice, 374 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: and I would recommend it again. I think it is 375 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: a color that spans all genders all, you know, Like 376 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that it's a color that you would say, oh, 377 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: that's for you know, one type of person or another. 378 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: I think that the purple that they came up with 379 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: is really really nice. So it's a beautiful purple color, 380 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: and it's it's a different purple than the iPhone fourteen. 381 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: The iPhone fourteen is like a bright purple. This purple 382 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: is almost like if you didn't know, it's almost like 383 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: a bluish black color. So it's really really nice. But 384 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: I think silver for me is the color I would 385 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: go with this year. This is going to come in 386 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: one twenty eight, two fifty six, five twelve, and the 387 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: one terabyte capacities, so they start at nine to ninety nine. 388 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: I would not get the one twenty eight. I would 389 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: bump up to two fifty six if you can. And 390 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: it's going to be nine ninety nine for the fourteen 391 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Pro or on eleven hundred for the fourteen Pro Max. Again, 392 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: i'd probably go for the two fifty six, although if 393 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: you're paying for iCloud storage, you probably don't need all 394 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: that extra onboard storage. I pay for the two terabyte storage, 395 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: and so you really don't need all that storage on 396 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: your phone because my photos are going into iCloud and 397 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: or Google Photos, so you can just delete the photos 398 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: off your phone, but I kind of like having a 399 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: year's worth of photos on my phone. So that's the 400 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen Pro and the Promax. No real substantial changes 401 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: to the the like what the phones look like, although 402 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: I do feel like they are a bit lighter, and 403 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: I don't think the cases will fit them because I 404 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: think that the back like camera array is just slightly 405 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: slightly different. So if you're thinking you're going to put 406 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: your old case on it, I'm not really sure. And 407 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: Michael is asking a terabyte how much? I don't have 408 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: the price on a terabyte, but I guess I can 409 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: check because you can pre order soon or maybe today's 410 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: the pre orders, actually I think it. Yeah, it is 411 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: pre order today. iPhone fourteen Pro. Let's just see how 412 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: much it is. So if you go all the way 413 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: up to that one terabyte, let's see, did you want 414 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: the Pro or the Pro Max. Let's see if we 415 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: just do Pro Max, the one terabyte is going to 416 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: be sixteen hundred bucks. So that's a lot. I don't 417 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: know if you need a terabyte, but you know, if 418 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: you're a videographer. Let's put it this way. I've been 419 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: using the iPhone thirteen for a year, and I'm up 420 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: to just about four hundred gigabytes of storage, and so 421 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: I haven't reached that five hundred and twelve and I've 422 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: literally taken a whole year's worth of videos on those 423 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: device on that device. So if I'm not up to 424 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: five hundred and twelve, I think five to twelve will 425 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: be good. I think two fifty six will be good 426 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: for the average person that's not shooting videos for TV. 427 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: Any changes with the charging cables, no, no changes with 428 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: the charging cables at all. So that's that. All right, 429 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: Let's get into the next question of the show here. 430 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: All right, Oscar says, my son is turning ten next month. 431 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: We want to buy him an iPad. Which would you 432 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: recommend for gaming such as Roadblocks? Not really wanting to 433 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: buy him the latest version, nor the oldest one, but 434 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: one that would be just right. Thanks for your help, Oscar. 435 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: All right, Oscar number one, you know, I hate roadblocks. 436 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: I am not a fan of roadblocks, so my preference 437 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: would be for your kid to not play roadblocks. But 438 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: I understand my kids love roadblocks too, and as a parent, 439 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: I absolutely despise it. And the reason I despise it 440 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: is because I don't see anything redeeming about Roadblocks. I 441 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: don't find the games are very good. I find that 442 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: they are very all over the place. There's no real 443 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: point to them. They are some of them are are 444 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of fearful, you know. I just don't. I don't 445 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: see the point. I really don't, and I know that 446 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: that's just my opinion, but that's the way I feel 447 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: as a parent. Like my kids when they played Minecraft, 448 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: I really liked it, even though Minecraft has some you know, 449 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: aspects of it that I don't think are very good, 450 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: but it seemed good for them. Res Roadblocks, I don't 451 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: see anything good about it. I see it's almost My 452 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: kids are like zombies when they play it. So again, 453 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: I would you know, I don't think you're gonna get 454 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: your kids to stop playing Roadblocks, but if you can, 455 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: that would be my first choice. So I think that 456 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: you should get your child the iPad. It's just the 457 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: standard iPad, and it is just you know, it's basically 458 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty nine dollars. Now, what I would 459 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: say is look at the Apple. Since your kid is 460 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: ten years old, he's in school, I would go to 461 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: the education store and right now, Apple has a pretty 462 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: good deal for K through twelve. So let's see here 463 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: and if we go to the iPad there the iPad okay, 464 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: so right now you get one hundred dollars gift card 465 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: if you buy an iPad. So that's pretty good. So 466 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: you buy the iPad. It is uh, let's see how 467 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: much it is with the education pricing. I don't know 468 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: if they change the education pricing. Oh yeah, it is 469 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: three hundred and nine dollars, so you save twenty bucks 470 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: on the iPad and you also get one hundred dollars 471 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: gift card. So I think that's a win win. Definitely 472 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: the time to get it, and it's only right now, 473 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: like Apple doesn't do this for very long, so I 474 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: would jump on that. And you can also look and 475 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: see sometimes the retailers that are selling the iPad will 476 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: match the price, like they'll give you a cheaper price 477 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: for the iPad out the door, but you won't get 478 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: that gift card. But that's what I recommend is just 479 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: getting the standard iPad. Don't go with the Kindle Fire, 480 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: don't go with the Mini, don't go with the you know, 481 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: the air, Just get the standard iPad. If your kid 482 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: is just playing games, on it and doing basic stuff. 483 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: That's what my kids have. They like it. It works 484 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: for them. It's just fine, and I think that it's 485 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: it's still got a lot of life left in it. 486 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: So the other thing to do before you check anything 487 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to buying stuff is go to the 488 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: website Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot com, and that will 489 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: tell you where we are in the life cycle of 490 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: these products. So when it comes to the iPad, the 491 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: standard iPad, right, let's see where is it if we 492 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: look at the oh what happened there? Okay, oh, yeah, 493 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: here we go. If we look at the standard iPad 494 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: right now, they're saying caution because the standard iPad has 495 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: been out for three hundred and sixty days and the 496 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: average is five hundred and eighty between new models. So 497 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: we're kind of like halfway through the cycle with that. 498 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: But I think you're just fine forgetting it because the 499 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: iPad they may have an event next month in October, 500 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: but I think the standard iPad is still pretty good. 501 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: It's about a year old at this point. So okay, oh, 502 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: a lot of apple Man, Apple, Apple Apple, All right, 503 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: what should we talk about next? AirPods pro or the 504 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Apple Watch. Let's talk about the Apple Watch, since I 505 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of people love their Apple Watches. All right, 506 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: so you've got two three new Apple Watches. Actually, I'm 507 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: just gonna go through the Series eight and the se 508 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: right now, and then we'll get to the Ultra in 509 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: a second. But the new thing on the Apple Watch 510 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,239 Speaker 1: Series eight is basically temperature sensing. So they've added a 511 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: thermometer to the watch, which it does not like I 512 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: was looking for a reading of, like my exact temperature 513 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: at that moment in time. That's not how it works. 514 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: It looks for relative changes of temperature in your body. 515 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: So while you're sleeping, it samples your temperature every five seconds. 516 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Seems like at a little bit much Apple little a 517 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: little eager there every five seconds, and it can detect 518 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: changes as small as one tenth of a degree celsius. 519 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: So that's pretty interesting, or maybe it's a tenth, yeah, 520 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: tenth of a degree celsia celsius. In the health app, 521 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: you can see your nightly shifts in your baseline temperature, 522 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: which can be caused by exercise, jet lag, or illness. Look, 523 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: here's the deal, and Tony's saying it right now. Who 524 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: sleeps with the Watch. I agree. I've had the Apple 525 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: Watch since day one. I've never slept with it because 526 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: it just is not comfortable to me to sleep with. 527 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: And so the battery has gotten to a place where 528 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: now with the fast charging, you can charge it before bed. 529 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: It'll give you us it'll say like, hey, if you 530 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: want to sleep with this thing, you gotta charge it 531 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: now for another twenty minutes and then you'll be okay 532 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: to get through your bedtime. But I just I'd never 533 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: I take it off, and I just don't find that 534 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: the sleep information given by the Apple Watch is very good. 535 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Now today my Aura ring is arriving, so I'm gonna 536 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: start wearing that to bed, and that's much easier to 537 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: wear because it's a ring. And so apparently the sleep 538 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: tracking on that is pretty good. But on the flip 539 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: side of the Aura, from what I've heard, is that 540 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: the immediate tracking is not very good. Like the fitness 541 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: tracking in the in the second by second like when 542 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: you're on the treadmill, is really good with the Apple Watch, 543 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: but the Apple Watch doesn't seem to be good at 544 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: like giving you kind of like your whole body indicator. 545 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: So anyway, so temperature sensing is there. So because of 546 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: the temperature sensing, users can get new ovulation estimates. That's 547 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: obviously for female users, and that you know, that has 548 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of implications in itself. Crash detection is 549 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: now built into the Apple Watch as well, so there 550 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: used to be fall detection, but now they have crash detection. 551 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: And since seven is saying the temperature feature may be 552 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: good for COVID, fever or metopause temperature changes, and yes, 553 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: I agree, but I'm not sure that that's exactly built 554 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: in like right now, I think Apple is just taking 555 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: the readings. I'm not sure how much they're doing with 556 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: the readings. I think that maybe the third party apps 557 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: will come in, and I do think that you know, 558 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: if your temperature changes, it could indicate something like COVID 559 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: or an illness. But I think it's gonna be third 560 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: party apps that take advantage with a big big asterisk 561 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: on them saying don't rely on this as your end all, 562 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: like see a doctor if you really think that these 563 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: changes are doing something to your body. So the crash 564 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: detection now for the cars is in the Apple Watch 565 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: as well, so it has a new gyroscope, a new accelerometer, 566 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: and so that's helping enable those features. There's also a 567 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: new low power mode. Now. The old low power mode 568 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: that was on the Apple Watch basically disabled everything, so 569 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: you only had a little tiny time indicator on the 570 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: watch when you put low power mode on, or power 571 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: reserve whatever it's called. So this is a low power 572 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: mode which your watch still works, it just doesn't do 573 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: as many things as it did before. But now your 574 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: battery can reach up to thirty six hours, so that's 575 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: kind of neat. Now the Apple Watch SE. The only 576 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: news there is that it's faster. So it's got the 577 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Apple Watch a processor, which means the Apple Watch SE 578 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: is a lot faster, twenty percent faster than the previous generation. 579 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: That also has crash detection as well, and the price 580 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: is cheaper on that. I think I said it was 581 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: fifty dollars less than the old model, but I believe 582 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: it's just twenty dollars less. So the Apple Watch SE 583 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: starts at two hundred and fifty dollars. The Apple Watch 584 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: Series eight starts at three ninety nine, same price as 585 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: last year. My recommendation is, you know, there's this whole 586 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: idea of do you get cellular or not. So with 587 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: the Apple Watch SE, if you're giving that to a 588 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: child as a way to keep in touch with them, 589 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: definitely get the cellular And what that means is that 590 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to call you, text you, 591 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be able to see their location no 592 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: matter what, even if they don't have an iPhone nearby. 593 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: If you just get the Apple Watch without cellular, you're 594 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do anything with that watch, 595 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: like communication wise, if there's no iPhone nearby or they 596 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: leave a Wi Fi area. So I would definitely, if 597 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: you want the most use out of the Apple Watch 598 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: SE when it comes to kids, go with the cellular version. 599 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: And you're gonna have to pay ten dollars a month 600 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: for that or five to ten dollars a month depending 601 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: on your carrier for that service, but I think it's 602 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: worth it. That's what my kid has Apple Watch Series eight. 603 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: When it comes to cellular on the regular Apple Watches, 604 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: I only recommend cellular if you run with just your watch. 605 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: So if you find yourself in a position where you 606 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: are leaving the house with just your watch, you probably 607 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: want cellular. But if you never leave the house without 608 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: your phone, you don't need cellular on your Apple Watch 609 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: because your Apple Watch is always going to be communicating 610 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: with your phone and going through your phone for that 611 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: cellular connection. So that's the whole distinction between the whole 612 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: cellular situation. So for kids, I would go cellular. For 613 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: adults only go cellular if you're a runner or if 614 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: you leave the house a lot without your phone and 615 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: you want to be always connected. So that's the Apple 616 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: Watch eight and the Apple Watch sc If you have 617 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: an Apple Watch seven, don't necessarily think you need to 618 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: upgrade to the eight, but the se definitely a great 619 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: new addition for kids like that. That watch has been 620 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 1: a while since it's been updated. So oh and Johnny 621 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: at Apple says, you've got to try playing Roadblocks and 622 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: you'll see what's so great about it. I don't know. 623 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: I see my kids playing. I watched them play, and 624 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: I just you know, my kid waited in this. You know, 625 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Roadblocks is like waiting in these games. 626 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: Like I feel like they play a lot of mind 627 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: games with the kids, and I just I don't appreciate 628 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: that either. Like my kid was crying one time because 629 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: he was waiting so long to like play this like 630 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: American Idol style game, and I was like, what are 631 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: you waiting for? He's like, oh, I gotta I'm up 632 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: next or whatever. Anyway, so all right, all right, let's 633 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: talk or let's take another question. Where are we in 634 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: the questions here? Let's see here? Uh, Pam says, good morning. 635 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: Did you say you use your ATM card in Europe? 636 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: We're getting ready to travel and not sure how that works. Also, 637 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: what was the cell phone idea you spoke of? As always, 638 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: thanks for your trusted halo and info. Thank you, Pam. Yes, Pam, 639 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: I recommend using your ATM card in in Europe because 640 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: you're going to get the best exchange rate. Obviously if 641 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: you're if you have a credit card, you can use 642 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: that as well, just don't make sure it doesn't have 643 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: a foreign conversion fee. So a lot of these credit cards, 644 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: especially ones that have sometimes the ones that have no 645 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: yearly fee attached to them, they might charge a three 646 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: percent foreign transaction fee. You do not want to pay 647 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: a foreign transaction fee, that's for sure. So I what 648 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: I do in Europe is I was using my tap 649 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: to pay credit card most of the time, but I 650 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: did take out cash from the ATM and so what 651 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: I do is I have a little bit of American 652 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: cash on me when I go to the country. Then 653 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: when I get to that country, I bline it to 654 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: the first ATM and I get some cash in their currency. 655 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: So I have it just in case, you know, if 656 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: you need it for the train or something that doesn't 657 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: I would say, when I was in Rome, ninety nine 658 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: point nine percent of places took tap to pay or 659 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: a credit card. But it used to be when I 660 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: was traveling in foreign countries, like some places just took cash, right, 661 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: But now everything pretty much takes a card. But anyway, 662 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: I still like to have some cash for little things 663 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: like you're buying a bottle of water or something. You can, 664 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, toss a buck or two out. So in 665 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: the ATMs, there's a little bit of a trick that 666 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: they use, and the trick is that it says it 667 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: tries in all of these things. When you try to 668 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: make a transaction, sometimes it says, you know, do you 669 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: want to convert into your currency? And it sounds like 670 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: you're doing the right things. You're like, oh, of course 671 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: I want to pay in my currency. You don't want 672 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: to do that. You always want to decline the conversion 673 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: and you want to do a local transaction in their currency. 674 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: So the ATM when you're taking money out will try 675 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: to trick you and will say, oh, accept conversion. If 676 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: you accept that conversion, you're going to pay a lot 677 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: of extra fees and you're gonna pay their conversion rate, 678 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: Whereas if you just take out money in their rate, 679 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: your bank is going to do the exchange rate on 680 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: the other side, and your bank is not going to 681 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: fool around. They're going to give you the best rate possible. 682 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: One of the few times when a bank will not 683 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: fool around with you. Let's see. And what was the 684 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: cell phone idea you spoke of? So this is a 685 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: great thing. We were talking about eSIMs. And this is 686 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: where I first used an eSIM was in Europe when 687 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: I went to Rome. I used the Erlo app ai 688 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: r A l O and that app. You go in 689 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: there and you just buy a simcard for whatever country 690 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: you're in and it's a great deal and you activate 691 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: it right from your phone. Boom, your phone is activated. 692 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: They're data only, so you can only you know, you 693 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: can't make and receive calls with them, but you can 694 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: send text you know, I message Telegram, whatever not, SMS. 695 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: But you can also just use all the data too, 696 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: so really easy, really simple, and that's what I recommend 697 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: Ai r Alo for that. All right, now let's talk 698 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: about Apple Watch Ultra. This is Apple sort of top 699 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: of the line Apple Watch, the Ultra. I can't believe 700 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: for something that is so intense, it is seriously the 701 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: lightest watch. Like this thing looks big and bulky on 702 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: your wrist, it actually looked pretty. I don't have the 703 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: biggest risks in the world, and it actually looked really 704 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: good on my wrist. Like it's something I would consider 705 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: getting because of a couple things. First off, it's the Ultra. 706 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's the best. And then it 707 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's got some extra features built in, 708 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: bigger battery, some more durability. It also has a flat screen, 709 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: so if you like that flat screen, it is flat. 710 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: It's not rounded on the edges, which is kind of nice. 711 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: But it looks like it would be very heavy, but 712 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: it's not. It's super lightweight. And so I don't know 713 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: how Apple did it, but they did. Now, this Apple 714 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: Watch Ultra is for the rugged outdoors person or the 715 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: athlete and or the you know, any extreme sports kind 716 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: of person divers, this kind of stuff. Three built in microphones, 717 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: so when you're talking on this thing, you should hear 718 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: the quality and voice. You should see a perceptive change 719 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: in the quality and voice calls. There's three mics that 720 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: are picking up your voice. There's also this new action button, 721 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: So this is an additional button on this device, and 722 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: it's in high contrast international orange, and it's on the 723 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: left side of the device, and it just a big 724 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: orange button that you can program to do different things. 725 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: So you can press it to bring up an app, 726 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: you can press it when you're inside an app for 727 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: an alternative functionality. And app developers, you know, they're just 728 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: learning about this stuff too, so they're going to start 729 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: building their apps with all of these functions in mind. 730 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: But the other thing that's different about this is it's 731 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: got a bigger speaker on it, So the speaker is 732 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: really big. The digital crown, that little turn button is 733 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: much bigger and like more substantial, so it's easier to 734 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: manipulate with like a glove on your hand. And this 735 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is just like I can't explain 736 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: this watch. But it's not for like the everyday person 737 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: like me. It's really for someone who I've got people 738 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: in mind that climb rocks for you know, on the weekends, 739 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: or really extreme hiking in extreme sports, triathlons, triathletes, those 740 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of people, marathon runners, people that really need the 741 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: maximum battery, maximum use of an Apple Watch without ruining 742 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: it by you know, all these things. Just the bands 743 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 1: on this watch are one hundred dollars, so it comes 744 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: with one, thankfully, but an extra band from Apple is 745 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. That's that's pretty expensive. It also has 746 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: more GPS built in, so this has what's called L 747 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: one and L five GPS, and so what that means 748 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: is that you are going to get even more accurate 749 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: GPS locks and quicker because it has better GPS on it. 750 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: The it's got this new waypoints functionality, and I believe 751 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: this is coming to other Apple watches too. But the 752 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: Compass app we did this cool little walk around the 753 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: Apple campus where we figured out basically, you can set 754 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: waypoints on your watch and you can navigate back to those, 755 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: but you can also do something called backtrack. And this 756 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: is kind of interesting, and I believe this is coming 757 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: to the Apple Watch as well, not just the Ultra, 758 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: but the backtracks feature will let you kind of track 759 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: your entire walk or run or hike or whatever, so 760 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: that if you get lost, you can just follow your 761 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: tracks back to where you started. And the interesting thing 762 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: about this is that you can start this manually, but 763 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: it also triggers automatically, so if you leave cellular or 764 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: Wi Fi range, your watch goes hmm, all right, Rich 765 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: is leaving like any sort of civilized area, so let's 766 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: start recording his tracks just in case he needs to 767 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: make his way back to where he started. And so 768 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: it uses what's called backtracks, and it uses GPS to 769 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: it starts recording your GPS data. I don't know if 770 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: it's every couple of seconds or every minute, whatever it is, 771 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: but it basically it's almost like a breadcrumb to where you, 772 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: you know, can lead yourself back to where you started from. 773 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: So that's a really nice way of not getting lost, 774 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: which is really nice. Let's see this Apple Watch Ultra 775 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: also has crash detection, and let's see what else does 776 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: it have that's interesting. It's just a really kind of 777 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: neat looking watch. Now, this is the first generation of 778 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: an Apple product, so I would say, you know, little 779 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: caution here because the first generation of Apple products they're good, 780 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,959 Speaker 1: but you know, the second generation comes along and they've 781 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: smoothed out all the things that were kind of not 782 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe not the best on the first generation. 783 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: Don't forget Apple is planning things out, you know, a 784 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: couple of years in advance. So this watch is is great, 785 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: but it is the first generation and next generation will 786 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: probably have a couple of things that are a little 787 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: bit better. And yes, someone's asking on the chat. What 788 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: is the price of the Apple Watch ultra It is 789 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars and there is no camera on the 790 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: watch that someone's asking in the chat, no camera on it. 791 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: Eight hundred dollars. Now that includes GP, that includes cellular. 792 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: There is no version of this watch without a cellular connection. 793 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: Now I say cellular connection, I mean a cellular antenna. 794 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: It's not activated. You know, you have to pay the 795 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: ten dollars a month if you want to make and 796 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: receive calls and texts and all that stuff. One thing 797 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: you should know, at least in the US, if you 798 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: have an Apple Watch with cellular and you have an 799 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: emergency and you do not have that cellular activated on 800 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: your watch, by law, that Watch will still connect to 801 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: nine one one for free. So this applies to any 802 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: cellular device in America. Cellular device in America, you dial 803 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: nine one one on it, even if there's no cell 804 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: phone plan on that device, it will still connect you 805 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: to a nine one one operator. So let's just say, 806 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: worst case scenario, you just want to be safe, you 807 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: buy the cellular version of the Apple Watch. It will 808 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: still be able to call nine one one in emergency 809 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: if you need it to, even if you don't pay 810 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: that five to ten dollars a months your cell phone carrier. 811 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: Now I did ask Apple that specifically, because that's not 812 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: really something I can test out. I knew that was 813 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: true of cell phones, but I was just curious with 814 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: Apple Watches. But that is the case now, I say 815 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: in America, in the United States only because different countries 816 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: have different laws about that. So, for instance, in Japan, 817 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: it's illegal for a non activated cell phone device to 818 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: call nine one one, and I don't know why that is. 819 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: Maybe that's just to keep the phone calls down from 820 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, prank calls and stuff. But in the US, 821 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: at least, any device that is a cellular device can 822 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: call nine one one, even if it is not active 823 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: on a plan, so good to know. Anyway, eight hundred 824 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: dollars for the Apple Watch Ultra. This is available later on. 825 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't have the day. Oh uh oh, Friday September 826 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: twenty third, so it's available, well not this Friday or 827 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: not next Friday, but the next Friday later in September. 828 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's really cool. I don't 829 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: know if that's for me, but it's definitely a cool device. 830 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 1: Thirty six hours of battery life, sixty hours of battery 831 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: life if you put on the low power mode. So 832 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of a big device. You know who 833 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: you are if you need that device, right, You know 834 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: that you're an extreme sports person. You know that you're 835 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: an extreme athlete or are hiking, you know, in the 836 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, and that's something that appeals to you, 837 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: all right, Bobby says, I was one of the few 838 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 1: lucky to actually snag one of those hundred dollars fire 839 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 1: TVs on Amazon Prime Day. The one problem I seem 840 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: to be having is that there doesn't seem to be 841 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: an answer to if I leave the room for more 842 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: than five minutes, my TV shuts off. I have googled 843 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: and googled, but can't find a way to change the 844 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: settings so the TV doesn't turn off. There's plenty of 845 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: explanations out there and how to get the fire stick 846 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: to stop turning the TV off, but not this Prime 847 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: day one hundred dollars. I figured since you got one, 848 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: you might know the answer. I'm sure lots of us 849 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: would appreciate the info. Thanks Bobby. Bobby. Yes, I did 850 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: get one of these one hundred dollars Amazon fire TVs. 851 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: I have since handed it over to my in laws 852 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: who are using it in kind of like a kid's 853 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: playroom situation, and so far we have not had this issue. 854 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: So I think there could be two things going on here. 855 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: Number One, you might have set this TV up in 856 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: demo mode and that might be causing it to time 857 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: out after five minutes and go into some sort of 858 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: demo mode. That's just a guess. I don't know. I 859 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: haven't heard any talk from my in laws that this 860 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: TV is doing this, so I think this could either 861 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,280 Speaker 1: be a lemon or it could be in that demo 862 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: mode situation. So here's what I would do. I would 863 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: or it could the other thing it could be doing, 864 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: is it may not be turning off, but it may 865 00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: be activating a screen saver that is just blank, So 866 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: that could be another way. So I would here's my 867 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: order of things. Number one, I'd look at the screen 868 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: saver and see what that's set to and see what 869 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: the timeout is on that screen saver. Number two, I 870 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: would reset the TV, like, go into the settings and 871 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: go back to a factory reset and start fresh, and 872 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: watch every menu as you go through. If it still 873 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: happens after that, I would contact Amazon and get a 874 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: replacement TV. So it sounds like it could just be 875 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: a software thing or kind of a you know, just 876 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: a setting somewhere, But it sounds like you've gone through 877 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: the settings pretty thoroughly, so maybe you just got a 878 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: defective TV. I mean, they sold thousands of these things, 879 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: so there's a chance that it's defective. But Amazon should 880 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: make good on that TV. There's a warranty on it. 881 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: So it's been you know, a couple months at Prime 882 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: day was in July, so I think that you should 883 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: be good. If not, send me an email hello at 884 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: richontech dot TV, and I will escalate the issue to 885 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: Amazon and make sure that you get the help that 886 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: you need. But you know. That's you know, sometimes I'll 887 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: do that for folks. You know, if they're really stuck 888 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: in a place where they can't seem to get any 889 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: help with something, I will, you know, if I can, 890 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: I'll step in. I don't you know. Look, I don't 891 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: have any special privileges at these companies, but sometimes they'll 892 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 1: listen to me a little bit more just because you know, 893 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 1: they know that I'll report on it on social media 894 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: or on TV if there's some kind of you know, 895 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: widespread issue that they're sort of covering up or not 896 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 1: really helping people with. So that's that's what I'm talking about. 897 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the AirPods Pro so AirPods Pro. 898 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 1: And again, you know, I tell you all this stuff. 899 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: I did have a whole day yesterday. I'm not sure 900 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: I can talk about this, but I'm whatever. I did it. 901 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 1: So I spent the whole day at the Apple campus 902 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: yesterday going hands on with these products, and so not 903 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: just during the event, but after the event. I got 904 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 1: a lot of time to sort of play with these 905 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: products and to really see what they're all about, and 906 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: not just that, but talk to the experts that help 907 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: create them. And so I you know, really have a 908 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: good knowledge of these things, a working knowledge of how 909 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: they work, without one hundred percent playing with them for 910 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, days on end. Just yet, I will fully 911 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: review them, but that takes some time. AirPods Pro so 912 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: new chip inside. It's been a while, It's been about 913 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 1: what three years since the AirPods Pro came out. New 914 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: chip inside H two it's called H one was the 915 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: first one. H two chip is going to cancel as 916 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: much as twice as much noise as the last AirPods Pro. Now. 917 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: I love the first generation AirPods Pro. I thought they 918 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: were really good. There were some things I didn't like 919 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: about them, specifically the transparency mode and how they felt 920 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: like you could be underwater a little bit with the 921 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: noise cancelation. I don't sense that in these new generations. 922 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: So if you didn't like the first generation of AirPods Pro, 923 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: I would definitely see what the new generation feels like 924 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 1: in your ears. So the transparency mode, specifically, this is 925 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: on by default, and what it does is it lets 926 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: you hear stuff around you. But it's you know, you 927 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: keep these EarPods, these air pods in you can still 928 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: hear your surrounding areas and what they've done with this 929 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: transparency mode is it's sort of adaptive and so even 930 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: if you don't have active noise cancelation on. Let's say 931 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: you're doing transparency mode, you're walking down the street, you 932 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: hear a siren from an ambulance, it will actually lower 933 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 1: the decibels of that siren to make it more comfortable 934 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: for you know, your ears not going to drown it out. 935 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: You'll still hear it, but it's not going to be 936 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: as like jarring to your ears. So these actually do 937 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: take out some of the environmental noise, which I thought 938 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. If they didn't fit in your ears. 939 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: There's a new smaller ear tip, so there's an extra 940 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,720 Speaker 1: small ear tips, so now you get extra small, small, medium, 941 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: and large. This is kind of funky. I didn't try 942 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: this feed sure, but I guess I will at some point. 943 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 1: But you now use the camera on your iPhone to 944 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: measure your ear and your head and it takes a 945 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,319 Speaker 1: reading of the shape of your ear and head and 946 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: then adjust the audio for your ear and head. I 947 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,879 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, really, I'm not an audio file 948 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: so maybe I just don't appreciate that kind of thing. 949 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: But you know, if it makes audio sound better, so 950 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: be it. I know that that's a thing, and I 951 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,760 Speaker 1: know other companies are doing that, and so clearly it's 952 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,839 Speaker 1: a thing. The other big change is now the touch 953 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 1: controls in the AirPods Pro on the stems. Used to 954 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 1: be able to kind of squeeze them to do different things, 955 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: to activate Siri or to you know, change the music 956 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: to the next song, play pause, you know, change the 957 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: transparency mode or active noise cancelation. Now you can swipe 958 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: up or down on them and adjust the volume. And 959 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: it's a very easy motion. It's a very simple motion 960 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: and it works. I did test it out and it 961 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,800 Speaker 1: actually is quite useful. You get a slightly better battery life, 962 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: so an extra one and a half hours of listening time. 963 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 1: I thought that the AirPods Pro first generation listening time 964 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: was amazing. I always joked that I barely ever had 965 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: to charge these things. But these apparently get even more time. 966 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: So now you get six hours extra total listening time 967 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: over the first generation. So I feel like AirPods. I mean, 968 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: unless you're going on an international trip and listening for 969 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: like twenty four hours, I don't think that it's that 970 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: big of a deal. And Tony's asking if they're waterproof. 971 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they're waterproof, but they're definitely water resistant. 972 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 1: And so I dropped mine in a cup of coffee 973 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: and they survived. The first generation. I thought they were dead, 974 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: and no, they came back to life after they dried out. 975 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: I did rinse them off and dried them out for 976 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: a day or two and they still work. Let's see. 977 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: The new thing about charging is the case is I 978 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: believe it's charging wireless charging by default, and you can 979 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: now charge the case with an Apple Watch charger, so 980 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of nice if you're in that Apple ecosystem. 981 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: You can charge the case with an Apple Watch charger, 982 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: so one less charger to bring with you. They also 983 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: have a newly designed charging case that has a lanyard 984 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: loop on it. So there's a lanyard loop on the 985 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: charging case, which means that you can attach a third 986 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: party lanyard to the case, which makes it easier to 987 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: hold clip to a belt, whatever you want. The lanyard 988 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: that they showed us as a demo was thirteen dollars 989 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: and Apple does not include a lanyard in the box. 990 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: But there's going to be plenty of accessories that will 991 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: latch onto this. It's just a standard lanyard loop area. 992 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: The other thing is that they've built find My into 993 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: the case, so you can now locate your charging case 994 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: with precision on the iPhone. So if you have an 995 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 1: iPhone twelve or thirteen I think it's a twelve or 996 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen, your phone can actually guide you to 997 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: the case with precision. There's also a speaker on the case, 998 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: so the case can emit a tone, so it tells 999 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: you when it's you know where it is. And if 1000 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: you look at my instagram at rich On Tech, you 1001 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 1: can see I did a little demo of the sound 1002 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: on the case. It's actually quite loud. It's not like 1003 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 1: the sound that the AirPods themselves emit, which can be 1004 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 1: kind of soft. It's quite loud coming from the speaker 1005 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: on the on the actual case. These are two hundred 1006 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars, same as before. They'll be available on Friday, 1007 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 1: September twenty third, and I will tell you that I think, 1008 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: just in the demos that I got that the AirPods 1009 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: Pro second generation are are much better. Maybe I don't know. 1010 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: I think they're more comfortable. In the year they sound better, 1011 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: and the noise cancelation is definitely better, and so is 1012 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: that transparency mode. So if you didn't like the first 1013 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 1: generation of AirPods pro, I know, two hundred fifty dollars 1014 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: is a lot for a pair of earbuds, but it's 1015 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 1: something that you come to really love and enjoy. And 1016 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 1: my wife and I bought her the regular AirPods. We 1017 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 1: got to the checkout at the Apple Store and she 1018 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: had no idea how much they were, but you know, 1019 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: they ring us up and I think they were like 1020 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,360 Speaker 1: two hundred bucks. And she said, wait, two hundred dollars 1021 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: for earbuds. What are you crazy? And I said no, no, 1022 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: just trust me. And they turn out to be her 1023 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: favorite device for the iPhone because she just loved them. 1024 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they just until they stop working. I don't 1025 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: know what the deals with AirPods, but there's this weird 1026 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: thing that a lot of times, like the right or 1027 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: left like doesn't charge, or the right or left like 1028 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: stops working and it like doesn't connect. So I've seen 1029 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: that problem a couple of times with her AirPods, some 1030 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 1: older AirPods I had. So I hope that that problem 1031 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 1: is gone. And let's see what did someone ask what's 1032 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 1: transparency mode. Transparency mode means that you can have these 1033 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,919 Speaker 1: AirPods in your ears and you can still hear what's 1034 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,439 Speaker 1: going on around you. So it's sort of it sort 1035 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,840 Speaker 1: of takes in the outside sounds, it processes them, but 1036 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: you're still hearing them. Kind of like the way they 1037 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: sound and kind of true to life, just maybe a 1038 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: little bit less, all right, Dennis says, need your opinion 1039 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: on two phones. I'm not an Apple fan, so I'm 1040 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 1: looking at the Galaxy Flip four or the Pixel six 1041 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: Pro currently using an LG stylos. Dennis, the Galaxy Flip 1042 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: four is a very endearing device. There's something very fun 1043 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,880 Speaker 1: about the Galaxy Flip four. So if camera is not 1044 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: your number one priority, if kind of like having a 1045 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,959 Speaker 1: fun overall device is an Android device is your thing, 1046 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: I would go with the Flip four. The Pixel six 1047 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 1: Pro is great. I just find that it's a little big, 1048 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: whereas the Flip four is going to be a lot 1049 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: easier to hold and handle. And also the Pixel is 1050 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: coming out with a new version on October seventh, and 1051 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 1: so they're having a big event in New York City 1052 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: where they're going to launch the Pixel seven so I 1053 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: would hold off on the Pixel six for now because 1054 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: I think the Pixel seven is going to be better, 1055 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: and I think the size of the Pixel seven is 1056 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 1: going to be better than the Pixel six Pro. And 1057 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if you need the Pixel six the 1058 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: pro or the seven Pro because that just adds a 1059 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 1: zoom lens and I'm not sure you really need that. 1060 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: So I would check out the Galaxy Flip. You do 1061 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 1: not get zoom on the Galaxy Flip. You do, but 1062 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: it is optical and so you don't get any sorry, 1063 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: it is digital zoom. You don't get optical zoom on 1064 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 1: the Flip four, so it is an optical zoom. So yeah, 1065 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: you can go two x four x ten x whatever, 1066 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: but it's going to be a digital zoom, so it's 1067 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: not going to be as good as an optical zoom. 1068 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to another question here while we 1069 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: still have another couple of minutes. Lisa says, you always 1070 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: seem to have good advice, so I need some. My 1071 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: husband has hearing aids that make holding the phone up 1072 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,400 Speaker 1: to his ear impossible. He uses the speaker phone Future, 1073 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: but still has problems listening even at the loudest volume 1074 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: for use at home. Can you recommend a speaker so 1075 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 1: we can use to link to or a cable to 1076 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: increase the volume. I await your suggestions. Thank you, Lisa, Lisa. 1077 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 1: Home Pod Mini, home Pod Mini two words, three syllables, 1078 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 1: two words. HomePod Mini fantastic extra speaker. You link it 1079 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 1: up to your iPhone. You can make and received calls 1080 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: on it. It works as a speaker phone and it 1081 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,959 Speaker 1: will be significantly louder than anything that the iPhone can admit. 1082 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 1: It's ninety nine dollars regularly. I'm sure you can find 1083 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 1: it on sale for cheaper than that. But it's very simple. 1084 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 1: It's very easy, same thing as speakerphone. When the answers 1085 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 1: the phone, you just toggle a little switch there and 1086 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: it says, you know, do you want to connect that 1087 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 1: call to the HomePod. Yeah, it's been a while since 1088 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 1: I use the HomePod. But it may even ring on 1089 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: the HomePod. There may be a setting to have the 1090 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 1: HomePod ring or to answer by default on the HomePod 1091 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,240 Speaker 1: as well, so I would check those features. But HomePod 1092 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: Mini super simple, super easy. Put it next to your 1093 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: husband's chair and you know he can just use that 1094 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 1: for you know, whatever he needs for listening. Tony says, 1095 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,680 Speaker 1: how is this when someone leaves their room phone in 1096 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 1: a room and you can hear the sound on the phone. 1097 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means. All right, one more 1098 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,440 Speaker 1: question before I go here. Doug says, if your family 1099 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: or close friends was telling you they were switching cell 1100 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: phone plans from Verizon, what cell phone company would you suggest? 1101 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, Doug C Junior, Doug, that's an interesting one. 1102 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: I will say that I have Verizon, and I've been 1103 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 1: not very impressed with the service lately. And I don't 1104 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: know if it's just my phone. I don't know if 1105 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: it's the LA area. I don't know if it's where 1106 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: I live, where I work, but it seems to me 1107 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: that the Verizon service either going through some growing pains 1108 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: or some issues. I'm not sure, but it has become 1109 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: spottier than I like. And I was on a very 1110 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: important call in my studios at KTLA where I literally 1111 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: could not make or receive a phone call. It was 1112 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 1: that bad. I had to go outside and that has 1113 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: never happened before in the history of working at that studio. 1114 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: So I don't know what they changed. What's different. In 1115 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: my home? My Apple Watch doesn't get a good signal, 1116 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 1: which is really also annoying. So I don't know, I'm 1117 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: not bagging on Verizon. I still like them. I still 1118 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: think overall from everywhere I've traveled in the world that 1119 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 1: Verizon has been very good. But I think that when 1120 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 1: it comes to the service that you have. For instance, 1121 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 1: my dad just switched to a different cell phone carrier 1122 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 1: because his carrier didn't work where he vacations, and so 1123 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: he wanted a phone that works where he goes on 1124 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: the weekends to you know, this little cabin, and so 1125 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: he wanted a phone that works there, And everyone that 1126 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: goes up there says, oh, yeah, this service works up there, 1127 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: So he switched to that service provider. And so I 1128 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 1: think it really just comes down to where you work, 1129 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: where you live, and what you're doing. So for years 1130 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: I would go to USC games at the Coliseum and 1131 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: no carrier work there. I think maybe, I mean I 1132 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 1: can't even remember, but maybe Verizon worked there but at 1133 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: and T T Mobile didn't. So I know a lot 1134 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: of people like their carrier. They like it because it 1135 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 1: works where they need it to work, and the price 1136 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: is right for them. So I think that carriers to 1137 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 1: look at include T Mobile, Mint, Mobile. If you want 1138 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,440 Speaker 1: a very good value Visible which is owned by Verizon. 1139 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: If you want a cheaper Verizon plan, let's see at 1140 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: and T. If you want just a kind of a 1141 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: rock of a carrier that has just worked and it's 1142 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 1: just solid and they've got lots of features, and you 1143 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 1: know it's going to work in a lot of good places. Verizon. 1144 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 1: I love their UW when you have it, like the 1145 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 1: Ultra wideband is just phenomenal. When it's there, it's pretty phenomenal. 1146 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: And Johnny at Apple says, do you think flip phones 1147 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 1: already yet? I do. I think with the Flip four, 1148 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 1: it's finally at a place where I can recommend it 1149 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 1: to people. I think that you have to be willing, 1150 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: like I said in my review, you have to be 1151 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: willing to accept some of the pros and cons of 1152 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: a flip phone. And the pros or that it's cool, 1153 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: it's different, it's fun, it's unique. It gives you various 1154 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 1: like angles that you can watch videos. You always have 1155 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,439 Speaker 1: a tripod. The downside is that it's a foldable phone. 1156 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 1: The screen could crack, it could break. You're not going 1157 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 1: to get as good of a camera system as you 1158 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 1: can on the regular Samsung phones, but it's kind of fun. 1159 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 1: And finally Bella says, how about Spectrum. You know, Spectrum 1160 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 1: Phone is fine, I personally don't like it because it 1161 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 1: links you to Spectrum service and I don't want to 1162 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: be I want less bundled products because when you bundle products, yeah, 1163 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: you might save some money, but now you're you're less 1164 01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: likely to switch when you're bundled up. So if I 1165 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: have Internet with Spectrum and I have Spectrum on my phone, 1166 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to switch from Spectrum if there's a 1167 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 1: better deal that comes along, because it's too much of 1168 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: a hassle to switch. And so that for that reason, 1169 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: even though yeah, you can save a lot of money 1170 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: maybe with Spectrum, I just would rather have my services independent. 1171 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 1: And so I just like the flexibility of not having 1172 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,760 Speaker 1: everything bundled in. And I'm telling you, mark my words, 1173 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing more and more bundles. So we're seeing like 1174 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 1: the carriers, like Verizon, they just added a bundle that 1175 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: gives you Apple One. You know, you've got used to 1176 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 1: have HBO Max bundled with AT and T, although that's 1177 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 1: been decoupled. T Mobile. You know, they give you Apple 1178 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: TV Plus, they give you Netflix. The reason why they 1179 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: bundle these things in is because you are going to 1180 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: be less likely to switch because you're like, ah, it's 1181 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 1: too much effort. I don't want to ruin my Verizon 1182 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 1: or my Spectrum or my Hulu or my Disney Plus 1183 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 1: or my Apple or whatever, because it's all kind of 1184 01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:00,160 Speaker 1: intermingled and it's all mixed. So that is what I'm 1185 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 1: talking about. And even with you know, someone mentioned insurance, 1186 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 1: same thing. They bundle the insurance because you know, once 1187 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 1: it's all bundled up, or you're really gonna go to 1188 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 1: different places to shop around for different types of insurance. 1189 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: So oh, no more questions. I think that this is 1190 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 1: what I was looking for. That sound means this is 1191 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna do it or that's gonna do it for this 1192 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 1: episode of the show.
