0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>questions answered. What's going on? I'm rich Demiro and this

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>is rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the tech stuff I think you should know about. It's

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>also the place where I answer the questions you send me.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm a tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the show, broadcasting live on my Instagram at

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>rich on Tech. Welcome to everyone that is listening live.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh someone said, didn't know his side gig was a DJ. Yeah,

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening to the podcast, you don't realize that.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I kind of warmed myself up by do a little

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>dance at the beginning of the show before I introduce myself,

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>so you know, it just gets the energy up, just

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>gets things going. Man, what a whirlwind. I mean, I

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>went straight from COVID pandemic to literally there are so

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>many things that are coming up on the calendar, so

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>much travel, so many invitations. It's like it just feels

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>like it used to be, and I kind of maybe

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>forgot how much I traveled or how many things I

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>got invited to because at this point, there's so many

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.639
<v Speaker 1>invites to different places and I'm talking around the world

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that there's just no way I can do them all.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's great, don't get me wrong. But I was

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>just in New Jersey. If you've been following my saga

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of my new fitted suit, my Indo Chino suit, I

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>got to wear it for the first time at the

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>wedding I went to. It was awesome, very very tight fit.

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you that I've never had such a

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>fitted suit. People seem to like it, but it is

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>definitely I would say, you know, it's one of those

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>things where I felt like I was like, can I

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>sit down in this suit or not? But it's definitely

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a different feeling and you do feel good in it

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 1>because it is so fitted. So that was kind of cool.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey was great. Stayed in this hotel called the

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Canopy by Hilton in Jersey City, which I've never stayed

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>in a Canopy, but I absolutely loved it because it's

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>just like it wasn't an expensive hotel, but it was

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>a very modern hotel, so I had like modern amenities,

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Like the room was just very nice and clean and neat.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>They had like water refill stations at the every floor,

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like near the elevator. They had like a cool like

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, outdoor area which was kind of cool with

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like a craft cocktail bar, so that was nice. It

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was just really nice. The people at the front desk

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>were really friendly, so it was just really really nice. Then,

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of course I got up to the Apple event right after.

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I was home for a day. Then I went up

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to Coopertino. And I'm not kidding Apple, you know, love

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>them or hate them, They they really attention to detail.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking you know, every journalist that goes up

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>there is warmly greeted personally. They are you know, someone

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>has you have a point to point contact. It is

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>very well done. And so I got up to Coopertino.

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 1>We did the first Apple event in three years in

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the Steve Jobs Theater, which was really cool. They had

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>WWDC in there just a little bit, but this was

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the first time we were like actually in the theater.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So the Apple event was was phenomenal, except for the

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>fact that Apple has decided it seems that it's easier

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to do pre taped presentations, so CEO Tim Cook came

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>out on stage for about two minutes, did a brief intro, Hey, welcome,

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks for being here, we're all sitting there, and then

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>they roll tape. So what you saw at home on

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the live stream was basically what I was sitting in

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a theater watching. The big difference is that after the event,

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to spend the next forty eight hours hands

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>on with all the products, so that was very exciting.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I got demos of every single new feature. I am

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>very well versed in all things new with iPhone. So

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>if you have some questions, definitely put them in the

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>chat here. But I'm gonna go through pretty much every

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>product that they announced. So the way this show is

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna work, it's gonna be Apple centric. I'm gonna do

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of the iPhone fourteen, then i'm gonna do the pro,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>then i'm gonna do like the watch, the AirPods, whatever

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>else they announced, and in between I will do some questions.

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>So first let's start with the iPhone fourteen and fourteen plus.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>So these are pretty much, you know, your standard basic

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>iPhones this year around, they have the fourteen and the

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>fourteen plus. You've got a six point one inch screen

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and then a six point seven inch screen. So remember

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day they had the Mini, the Regular,

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Plus. Now it's just the Regular and the Plus.

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they've decided that the Mini just wasn't doing

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>it for people. So not a whole ton of changes

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>for the iPhone fourteen and fourteen plus unless you want

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that big phone, right, if you want that big screen size,

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>go for the fourteen Plus. This is kind of just

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you a lot of phone for the money.

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>So they do have a new camera on there, new

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>twelve megapixel main camera. It's got a larger sensor, so

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna capture some more light. Pictures are gonna look

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 1>better theoretically, I'm gonna have to test that out. But

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>they've got a new front facing camera that is that

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>has auto focus for the first time, so that means

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>your selfies are going to be in focus, your group

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>photos are going to be more in focus because the

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>camera actually focuses instead of just being a fixed focus.

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what else ultra wide camera is. Let's see

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that has you know, some improvements to low light photos

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>with the ultra wide. So that's always good because the

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>ultra Wide on the iPhone, especially the basic model, has

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, left a little bit to be desired. Another

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>cool new mode is Action Mode. So this is kind

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>of like a GoPro built into the iPhone. And I

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>will say I was the only reporter up at the

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Coopertino event to take one of the iPhones and run

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>around the event space with it in action mode and

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>then put that video on social media. And I thought

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna get kicked out for doing that, but

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and yes, all of the Apple people. It went around

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the Apple PR folks, and they definitely knew that I

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>did that, and you probably weren't supposed to do, but they,

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I think since the video looked pretty good, they were like,

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, we'll let it pass. So they definitely mentioned

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh you did see that, Like,

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>oh we saw it, we all saw it. I'm like,

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>oh okay. So they kind of frown upon, you know,

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>taking the phone from the area and running with it.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I got to push the envelope and

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I was basically the only reporter to do that. If

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you look up online, if you search action mode iPhone fourteen,

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you'll see like blogs posted about my video. So kind

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>of cool, you know, trying to make a name for

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>myself in this tech industry a couple of So anyway,

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Action Mode is kind of like this super stabilized video

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>that is kind of like a GoPro but on the

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>iPhone it's not perfect, but it will give you some

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.919
<v Speaker 1>more creative options there. Now a couple things to know

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>about the iPhone fourteen, the standard one. It's using last

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>year's processor, or at least a version of last year's processor,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>so not a big increase there, but you know last

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>year's processor A fifteen Bionic is still really good and

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it's super fast and for everything you need on this phone,

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be just fine. A couple of new

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>things they added to all of the phones this year

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>are crash detection and Emergency SOS through satellite. So crash

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>detection I was not able to get a demo off

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>because they were not going to put me in a

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>car and crash it. But basically it's using these new

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>sensors in the iPhone, these accelerometers like a combination of

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>things microphone accelerometer, gyroscope, and it is using an algorithm

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to detect G force and all different types of crashes

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.239
<v Speaker 1>in a passenger car. So they made that very clear.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to understand like what the difference is

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>between like a semi truck and a passenger car, but

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it will work in things like an suv, sedan, you know,

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>any type of car that a regular person would drive,

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>but not necessarily like a commercial car. I'm not sure why,

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>but that they made that distinction clear. So and when

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>crash detection is, you know, happens just like fall detection.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You'll get an alert on your phone. It'll say, hey,

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>we think you're in a crash. Do you want us

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to call nine one one. If you don't respond within

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>ten seconds, then it will immediately dial emergency and it

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>will alert your contacts and it will send your location

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Emergency Services Emergency SOS via satellite. I did

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get a demo of and it was pretty incredible. So somehow,

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they did this, but they made

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, using the standard antennas inside the iPhone, able

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>to communicate with satellites eight hundred miles above the Earth.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how they made that possible. It took

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of engineering. They actually set up new relay

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>centers where they have Apple employees that will be waiting

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>for these messages to come through. For emergencies and relay

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>them to nine one one, or they'll connect you right

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to nine one one. Again, this is all through messages.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not a phone call, and it happens when you

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>dial nine one one if there's no cell phone signal,

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it'll say, all right, let's connect you Vius satellite and

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>on your phone, it will show you how to point

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the phone to the sky to get a clear view

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>of a satellite that is traveling like thousands of miles

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>an hour. So in that time of your sending and

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>receiving a message, you actually have to move the phone

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because the satellites moved so fast. But

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it is incredible. That's coming out in November. It will

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be a paid feature, but you are going to get

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>two years of that for free. And it's one of

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>these things where Apple really kind of just kept hitting

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>home the fact that like if you have an iPhone,

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>if you have an Apple Watch, you are going to

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>be safe from you know, not only can you never

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>be stranded, but you are safe in a crash if

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you fall. You know, there's fall detection, there's crash detection,

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a mergent and see SOS, I mean they've really

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>done a lot with health and safety here, all right.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fourteen and fourteen Plus available in midnight Blue, Starlight.

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Purple is the new color, and red starts at one

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty eight gigs up to five hundred and

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>twelve gigs. Purple is a new color. And I gotta

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.079
<v Speaker 1>say the purple is really good looking. It's a very

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.960
<v Speaker 1>light purple. And I would say it's not like a

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>very you know, anyone can carry the purple color like

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a preference, you know what I mean. Like

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you say, oh, I can't carry that

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>because you know it's just too purply or it's not

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>purplely enough. It's like a very interesting purple color. Friday

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>September sixteenth is when the iPhone fourteen is available the Plus.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>If you want the Plus, you have to actually wait

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>until October seventh. Pricing for these eight hundred dollars or

0:10:51.160 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred dollars, and that is the iPhone fourteen. All right,

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>let's get to the first question of the podcast. Roy says,

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you may have mentioned this already, but what companies do

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you recommend to trade in your old iPhone for money

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>other than Apple? Thank you? Very much. So here's the deal, roy,

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I recommend you trade in your phone wherever you get

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the most money. Now, I always say every year, it

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>goes kind of in a matrix. Right, you're going to

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>get the most and it's gonna be the easiest if

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you sell it to a friend, right, so, friend, family member.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, let's go online see how much your phone

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is worth, and then you know, take that price and

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of use that as your guide to sell it

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>to a friend or family member. That's gonna be the

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>simplest because you can do a cash transaction. You're giving

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>it someone. You know, you don't have to pay shipping,

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to ship your phone. You don't have

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to think about all that stuff. Very very easy. After that,

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, there are different levels like eBay. Clearly you're

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna get the most, but you're gonna have to deal

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with the most kind of hassle. There's sites like Swapa,

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>which I believe someone just mentioned on the live chat.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Swapa is a good one as well. A lot of

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>people like selling their phone there. Again, you have to

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit more techy to do something like that. Now,

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>if you do something like Gazelle, you're really not going

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to get much for your phone if you do it

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like that. But trade in what's happening right now is

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the carriers are giving you more money than your phone

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>is worth. So if you're talking about you know, an

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>iPhone ten R or an iPhone eleven or twelve or thirteen,

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you know they're giving up to one thousand dollars right now.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So the trick is with those trade in deals, they

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 1>don't give you the thousand dollars all at once. They

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>give it to you over anywhere between I think it's

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to thirty six months. So basically you are

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 1>on a fixed plan where they give you a little

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of cash every month towards your bill so that

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you stick with that carrier. And that's why they're giving

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you that extra money. So it's not real money, it's

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>not like cold, hard cash, but you are getting almost

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>like a free phone because of how much they're giving

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you for that trade in. So again I would just

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to your carrier, I talk to Apple, and I

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>would talk to you know, look at the websites. You

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>know there's some there's a gosh, there's a website that

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't I can't remember. But there's like a here

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>it is Flipsy flips Y, and so if you put

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>your phone into Flipsy, it will search all of the

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>different phone websites that you can sell your phone on.

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the reality with selling your phone is

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit scary because you know you are

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>taking a leap of faith when you ship that out,

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>making sure that the person pays you and all that stuff.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think these systems have gotten pretty good where

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not taking too much of a risk anymore. So. Oh,

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the other thing that I should mention about these phones

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is they've done away with the SIM card and so

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>now there's what's called an e SIM. This has been

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>around for a while, it's just never really been forced

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>upon people in America, and now it's going to be.

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>So if you get a new iPhone fourteen, there's no

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 1>more transferring that little tiny SIM card to your new phone.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>You actually have to set up what's called an eSIM

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's electronic. It happens instantly. You don't even need

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a Wi Fi signal to do it. But it just

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>basically transfers your number to an electronic a little electronic

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>chip on the phone that's built in and you can

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>have up to I think they said six or eight

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of them only too active at a time, but you

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>can have you know, a bunch of these different sims.

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>So let's say you travel to Italy all the time,

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>like would be my dream, you can just keep your

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Italian eSIM in the background and every time you get

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to Italy just activate that eSIM. So yeah, it's kind

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>of cool. Eric is asking what's the max capacity on

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the fourteen plus. It is five hundred and twelve gigabytes

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>on the fourteen plus. All right, now let's talk about

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone fourteen Pro and the fourteen Promax. These are

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the phones that the fourteen is fine, but it's just

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's your everyday iPhone. The fourteen Pro and

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the Promax is really where you're gonna get going to

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>get the best features from Apple, and this is where

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>they came out with newer feature. Well, so again, same

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sizees six point one inch, six point seven inch. The

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>first thing you're gonna notice is this always on display,

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>which is really really quite phenomenal. So your phone screen

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty much always stays on. Now if you leave the room,

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>if you are away from your phone for a while,

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it will kind of go to sleep secretly, but when

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you come back to it, the always on display will

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>come on. So it's using different cues to not drain

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the battery by having the always on display on when

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not using it. But if your phone is just

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>on your desk at work all day, now it will

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>show the time, it will show the date, it will

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>show your notifications, it will show you know, the little

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Now you can have complications on there, like the weather,

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>your calendar updates, whatever. It's really really cool now always on.

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I know Android phones have had it for years, but

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I will say that I think Apple is doing this

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>really nicely. I think the two best always on displays

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that I know of are the Pixel and now I

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>would say the iPhone fourteen Pro. So it just looks

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>really good and it's in color. Yes you can turn

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it off. Tony's asking if you can turn it off. Yes, yes, yes,

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you can turn it off. People are asking. I did check,

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes you can turn it off. I don't know why

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd want to turn it off. Apple's done such a

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>good job with this, and already I'm finding myself just

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of loving the always on display aspect of this phone.

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Does it cause burnin. No, it doesn't. I asked Apple

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that question. They sort of laughed at me. They're like, no,

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>there's no burnin risk at all. I'm like, okay, sorry

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>for asking. So you do have the always on display. Now,

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>when you open up the phone, the first thing you

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>notice is instead of that notch at the top, there's

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>now kind of a pill shaped area. Apple is calling

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>this dynamic Island. I know it sounds so silly, sounds

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>like a Netflix reality show, But what Dynamic Island is

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It is kind of smart. It's a fusion of both

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the hardware that has to be there, you know, the

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>little cameras and sensors that they can't seem to move,

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and also a mix of software. So when you do

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>face ID, it shows up in the dynamic island. When

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you're playing music, it shows up in the dynamic island,

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>you get a timer going, it shows up in dynamic Island.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You can tap into the Dynamic Island to change the

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>song or check your timer. Apps can use the dynamic

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Island to interact in new ways. So there's gonna be

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of stuff that is happening in this

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Dynamic Island, and it's different it's unique. It's kind of

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a good little play on the area of the phone

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.959
<v Speaker 1>that has gotten a lot of criticism from Apple for

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>not getting rid of But now it seems to work.

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how long they stick with it. So dynamic

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>island is there. Next, you have a brand new forty

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>eight megapixel main camera. So the forty eight megapixel main

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>camera still takes pictures in twelve megapixels, so each I'm

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 1>not a camera expert, but each pixel I guess is

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>four pixels together, So that means more light gets into

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 1>each pixel, which means if you're taking you know, the

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>standard camera of shots, it's gonna they're gonna be faster

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to take, especially in low light, they're gonna be brighter.

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You can take four eight megapixel shots if you want

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to switch to pro raw. So I'm not gonna do that,

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.360
<v Speaker 1>but I know some people may want to if you're

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like a really big time photographer. The thing is you're

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>not going to let in as much light when you're

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.679
<v Speaker 1>using all those forty eight megapixels for the pixels, So

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that will definitely take a hit on that aspect of it.

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>But there's also different zooms now, So now in addition,

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to the wide angle the one X the three X,

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.199
<v Speaker 1>you now have a two x telephoto zoom. And the

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>way they're doing the two X is they're actually sort

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of cropping in on the one X. So that's kind

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 1>of interesting, all right, So what else? The Action Mode,

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>this is what I was talking about earlier. It's the

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.679
<v Speaker 1>same thing on the iPhone. On the Pro, it's just

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better because you have that better main camera.

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But the Action Pro does work on. Action mode does

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>work on all the different cameras as far as I know.

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Cinematic mode. You can now go up into four K

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>with Cinema Mode at thirty frames and twenty four frames.

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>The iPhone fourteen, Pro and Promax also have the crash detection,

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the Emergency SOS and these phones are available in again

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.679
<v Speaker 1>a purple color. It's called Deep purple, and silver gold

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and space black. So my choice here this year is

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be silver for me. The deep purple is

0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 1>really beautiful. So the deep purple is really really nice,

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>and I would recommend it again. I think it is

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 1>a color that spans all genders all, you know, Like

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that it's a color that you would say, oh,

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that's for you know, one type of person or another.

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that the purple that they came up with

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>is really really nice. So it's a beautiful purple color,

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's a different purple than the iPhone fourteen.

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>The iPhone fourteen is like a bright purple. This purple

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 1>is almost like if you didn't know, it's almost like

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a bluish black color. So it's really really nice. But

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I think silver for me is the color I would

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.719
<v Speaker 1>go with this year. This is going to come in

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>one twenty eight, two fifty six, five twelve, and the

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 1>one terabyte capacities, so they start at nine to ninety nine.

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I would not get the one twenty eight. I would

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.439
<v Speaker 1>bump up to two fifty six if you can. And

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be nine ninety nine for the fourteen

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Pro or on eleven hundred for the fourteen Pro Max. Again,

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>i'd probably go for the two fifty six, although if

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you're paying for iCloud storage, you probably don't need all

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>that extra onboard storage. I pay for the two terabyte storage,

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and so you really don't need all that storage on

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>your phone because my photos are going into iCloud and

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.199
<v Speaker 1>or Google Photos, so you can just delete the photos

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 1>off your phone, but I kind of like having a

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>year's worth of photos on my phone. So that's the

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.360
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fourteen Pro and the Promax. No real substantial changes

0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to the the like what the phones look like, although

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like they are a bit lighter, and

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the cases will fit them because I

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>think that the back like camera array is just slightly

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>slightly different. So if you're thinking you're going to put

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>your old case on it, I'm not really sure. And

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Michael is asking a terabyte how much? I don't have

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the price on a terabyte, but I guess I can

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>check because you can pre order soon or maybe today's

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the pre orders, actually I think it. Yeah, it is

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 1>pre order today. iPhone fourteen Pro. Let's just see how

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 1>much it is. So if you go all the way

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>up to that one terabyte, let's see, did you want

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the Pro or the Pro Max. Let's see if we

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 1>just do Pro Max, the one terabyte is going to

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>be sixteen hundred bucks. So that's a lot. I don't

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>know if you need a terabyte, but you know, if

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you're a videographer. Let's put it this way. I've been

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>using the iPhone thirteen for a year, and I'm up

0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 1>to just about four hundred gigabytes of storage, and so

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I haven't reached that five hundred and twelve and I've

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>literally taken a whole year's worth of videos on those

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>device on that device. So if I'm not up to

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and twelve, I think five to twelve will

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:15.400
<v Speaker 1>be good. I think two fifty six will be good

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>for the average person that's not shooting videos for TV.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Any changes with the charging cables, no, no changes with

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the charging cables at all. So that's that. All right,

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into the next question of the show here.

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, Oscar says, my son is turning ten next month.

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 1>We want to buy him an iPad. Which would you

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>recommend for gaming such as Roadblocks? Not really wanting to

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>buy him the latest version, nor the oldest one, but

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>one that would be just right. Thanks for your help, Oscar.

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, Oscar number one, you know, I hate roadblocks.

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I am not a fan of roadblocks, so my preference

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>would be for your kid to not play roadblocks. But

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I understand my kids love roadblocks too, and as a parent,

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely despise it. And the reason I despise it

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 1>is because I don't see anything redeeming about Roadblocks. I

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>don't find the games are very good. I find that

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they are very all over the place. There's no real

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.920
<v Speaker 1>point to them. They are some of them are are

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of fearful, you know. I just don't. I don't

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>see the point. I really don't, and I know that

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that's just my opinion, but that's the way I feel

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 1>as a parent. Like my kids when they played Minecraft,

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I really liked it, even though Minecraft has some you know,

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.160
<v Speaker 1>aspects of it that I don't think are very good,

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>but it seemed good for them. Res Roadblocks, I don't

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 1>see anything good about it. I see it's almost My

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>kids are like zombies when they play it. So again,

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I would you know, I don't think you're gonna get

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>your kids to stop playing Roadblocks, but if you can,

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.439
<v Speaker 1>that would be my first choice. So I think that

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you should get your child the iPad. It's just the

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 1>standard iPad, and it is just you know, it's basically

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty nine dollars. Now, what I would

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>say is look at the Apple. Since your kid is

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>ten years old, he's in school, I would go to

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 1>the education store and right now, Apple has a pretty

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>good deal for K through twelve. So let's see here

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:17.159
<v Speaker 1>and if we go to the iPad there the iPad okay,

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>so right now you get one hundred dollars gift card

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>if you buy an iPad. So that's pretty good. So

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you buy the iPad. It is uh, let's see how

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 1>much it is with the education pricing. I don't know

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:30.959
<v Speaker 1>if they change the education pricing. Oh yeah, it is

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.160
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and nine dollars, so you save twenty bucks

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>on the iPad and you also get one hundred dollars

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>gift card. So I think that's a win win. Definitely

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the time to get it, and it's only right now,

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>like Apple doesn't do this for very long, so I

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.200
<v Speaker 1>would jump on that. And you can also look and

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>see sometimes the retailers that are selling the iPad will

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 1>match the price, like they'll give you a cheaper price

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 1>for the iPad out the door, but you won't get

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>that gift card. But that's what I recommend is just

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>getting the standard iPad. Don't go with the Kindle Fire,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 1>don't go with the Mini, don't go with the you know,

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the air, Just get the standard iPad. If your kid

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>is just playing games, on it and doing basic stuff.

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what my kids have. They like it. It works

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>for them. It's just fine, and I think that it's

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>it's still got a lot of life left in it.

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So the other thing to do before you check anything

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to buying stuff is go to the

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>website Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot com, and that will

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>tell you where we are in the life cycle of

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.159
<v Speaker 1>these products. So when it comes to the iPad, the

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 1>standard iPad, right, let's see where is it if we

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>look at the oh what happened there? Okay, oh, yeah,

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 1>here we go. If we look at the standard iPad

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, they're saying caution because the standard iPad has

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>been out for three hundred and sixty days and the

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 1>average is five hundred and eighty between new models. So

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of like halfway through the cycle with that.

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think you're just fine forgetting it because the

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 1>iPad they may have an event next month in October,

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.719
<v Speaker 1>but I think the standard iPad is still pretty good.

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>It's about a year old at this point. So okay, oh,

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of apple Man, Apple, Apple Apple, All right,

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 1>what should we talk about next? AirPods pro or the

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch. Let's talk about the Apple Watch, since I

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people love their Apple Watches. All right,

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.360
<v Speaker 1>so you've got two three new Apple Watches. Actually, I'm

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>just gonna go through the Series eight and the se

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>right now, and then we'll get to the Ultra in

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a second. But the new thing on the Apple Watch

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Series eight is basically temperature sensing. So they've added a

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>thermometer to the watch, which it does not like I

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was looking for a reading of, like my exact temperature

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>at that moment in time. That's not how it works.

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>It looks for relative changes of temperature in your body.

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>So while you're sleeping, it samples your temperature every five seconds.

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Seems like at a little bit much Apple little a

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 1>little eager there every five seconds, and it can detect

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>changes as small as one tenth of a degree celsius.

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty interesting, or maybe it's a tenth, yeah,

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:07.160
<v Speaker 1>tenth of a degree celsia celsius. In the health app,

0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you can see your nightly shifts in your baseline temperature,

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:14.640
<v Speaker 1>which can be caused by exercise, jet lag, or illness. Look,

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.360
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal, and Tony's saying it right now. Who

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>sleeps with the Watch. I agree. I've had the Apple

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Watch since day one. I've never slept with it because

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it just is not comfortable to me to sleep with.

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>And so the battery has gotten to a place where

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>now with the fast charging, you can charge it before bed.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.639
<v Speaker 1>It'll give you us it'll say like, hey, if you

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 1>want to sleep with this thing, you gotta charge it

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>now for another twenty minutes and then you'll be okay

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 1>to get through your bedtime. But I just I'd never

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I take it off, and I just don't find that

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the sleep information given by the Apple Watch is very good.

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Now today my Aura ring is arriving, so I'm gonna

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 1>start wearing that to bed, and that's much easier to

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>wear because it's a ring. And so apparently the sleep

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>tracking on that is pretty good. But on the flip

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>side of the Aura, from what I've heard, is that

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the immediate tracking is not very good. Like the fitness

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.400
<v Speaker 1>tracking in the in the second by second like when

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you're on the treadmill, is really good with the Apple Watch,

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>but the Apple Watch doesn't seem to be good at

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>like giving you kind of like your whole body indicator.

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, so temperature sensing is there. So because of

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the temperature sensing, users can get new ovulation estimates. That's

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously for female users, and that you know, that has

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of implications in itself. Crash detection is

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 1>now built into the Apple Watch as well, so there

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 1>used to be fall detection, but now they have crash detection.

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And since seven is saying the temperature feature may be

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>good for COVID, fever or metopause temperature changes, and yes,

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I agree, but I'm not sure that that's exactly built

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>in like right now, I think Apple is just taking

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the readings. I'm not sure how much they're doing with

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the readings. I think that maybe the third party apps

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>will come in, and I do think that you know,

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>if your temperature changes, it could indicate something like COVID

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>or an illness. But I think it's gonna be third

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>party apps that take advantage with a big big asterisk

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>on them saying don't rely on this as your end all,

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 1>like see a doctor if you really think that these

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>changes are doing something to your body. So the crash

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>detection now for the cars is in the Apple Watch

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>as well, so it has a new gyroscope, a new accelerometer,

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and so that's helping enable those features. There's also a

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>new low power mode. Now. The old low power mode

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that was on the Apple Watch basically disabled everything, so

0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>you only had a little tiny time indicator on the

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>watch when you put low power mode on, or power

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>reserve whatever it's called. So this is a low power

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>mode which your watch still works, it just doesn't do

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 1>as many things as it did before. But now your

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>battery can reach up to thirty six hours, so that's

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of neat. Now the Apple Watch SE. The only

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>news there is that it's faster. So it's got the

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch a processor, which means the Apple Watch SE

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>is a lot faster, twenty percent faster than the previous generation.

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That also has crash detection as well, and the price

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is cheaper on that. I think I said it was

0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars less than the old model, but I believe

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just twenty dollars less. So the Apple Watch SE

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>starts at two hundred and fifty dollars. The Apple Watch

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Series eight starts at three ninety nine, same price as

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>last year. My recommendation is, you know, there's this whole

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 1>idea of do you get cellular or not. So with

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the Apple Watch SE, if you're giving that to a

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>child as a way to keep in touch with them,

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 1>definitely get the cellular And what that means is that

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.480
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be able to call you, text you,

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna be able to see their location no

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:47.840
<v Speaker 1>matter what, even if they don't have an iPhone nearby.

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 1>If you just get the Apple Watch without cellular, you're

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be able to do anything with that watch,

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like communication wise, if there's no iPhone nearby or they

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>leave a Wi Fi area. So I would definitely, if

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you want the most use out of the Apple Watch

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 1>SE when it comes to kids, go with the cellular version.

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>And you're gonna have to pay ten dollars a month

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 1>for that or five to ten dollars a month depending

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 1>on your carrier for that service, but I think it's

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>worth it. That's what my kid has Apple Watch Series eight.

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to cellular on the regular Apple Watches,

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I only recommend cellular if you run with just your watch.

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you find yourself in a position where you

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>are leaving the house with just your watch, you probably

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>want cellular. But if you never leave the house without

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>your phone, you don't need cellular on your Apple Watch

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 1>because your Apple Watch is always going to be communicating

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>with your phone and going through your phone for that

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>cellular connection. So that's the whole distinction between the whole

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>cellular situation. So for kids, I would go cellular. For

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>adults only go cellular if you're a runner or if

0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you leave the house a lot without your phone and

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you want to be always connected. So that's the Apple

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Watch eight and the Apple Watch sc If you have

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 1>an Apple Watch seven, don't necessarily think you need to

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 1>upgrade to the eight, but the se definitely a great

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>new addition for kids like that. That watch has been

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:14.479
<v Speaker 1>a while since it's been updated. So oh and Johnny

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 1>at Apple says, you've got to try playing Roadblocks and

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you'll see what's so great about it. I don't know.

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I see my kids playing. I watched them play, and

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, my kid waited in this. You know,

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Roadblocks is like waiting in these games.

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Like I feel like they play a lot of mind

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>games with the kids, and I just I don't appreciate

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>that either. Like my kid was crying one time because

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 1>he was waiting so long to like play this like

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 1>American Idol style game, and I was like, what are

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you waiting for? He's like, oh, I gotta I'm up

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>next or whatever. Anyway, so all right, all right, let's

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>talk or let's take another question. Where are we in

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the questions here? Let's see here? Uh, Pam says, good morning.

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Did you say you use your ATM card in Europe?

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 1>We're getting ready to travel and not sure how that works. Also,

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>what was the cell phone idea you spoke of? As always,

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 1>thanks for your trusted halo and info. Thank you, Pam. Yes, Pam,

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I recommend using your ATM card in in Europe because

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get the best exchange rate. Obviously if

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you're if you have a credit card, you can use

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that as well, just don't make sure it doesn't have

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>a foreign conversion fee. So a lot of these credit cards,

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>especially ones that have sometimes the ones that have no

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>yearly fee attached to them, they might charge a three

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 1>percent foreign transaction fee. You do not want to pay

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a foreign transaction fee, that's for sure. So I what

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I do in Europe is I was using my tap

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to pay credit card most of the time, but I

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>did take out cash from the ATM and so what

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I do is I have a little bit of American

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>cash on me when I go to the country. Then

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>when I get to that country, I bline it to

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the first ATM and I get some cash in their currency.

0:33:58.080 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>So I have it just in case, you know, if

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you need it for the train or something that doesn't

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say, when I was in Rome, ninety nine

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>point nine percent of places took tap to pay or

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a credit card. But it used to be when I

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 1>was traveling in foreign countries, like some places just took cash, right,

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But now everything pretty much takes a card. But anyway,

0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I still like to have some cash for little things

0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:19.839
<v Speaker 1>like you're buying a bottle of water or something. You can,

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, toss a buck or two out. So in

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the ATMs, there's a little bit of a trick that

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 1>they use, and the trick is that it says it

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>tries in all of these things. When you try to

0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 1>make a transaction, sometimes it says, you know, do you

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 1>want to convert into your currency? And it sounds like

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:36.399
<v Speaker 1>you're doing the right things. You're like, oh, of course

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to pay in my currency. You don't want

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to do that. You always want to decline the conversion

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and you want to do a local transaction in their currency.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So the ATM when you're taking money out will try

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 1>to trick you and will say, oh, accept conversion. If

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 1>you accept that conversion, you're going to pay a lot

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:54.839
<v Speaker 1>of extra fees and you're gonna pay their conversion rate,

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Whereas if you just take out money in their rate,

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.080
<v Speaker 1>your bank is going to do the exchange rate on

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the other side, and your bank is not going to

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>fool around. They're going to give you the best rate possible.

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the few times when a bank will not

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>fool around with you. Let's see. And what was the

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>cell phone idea you spoke of? So this is a

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>great thing. We were talking about eSIMs. And this is

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>where I first used an eSIM was in Europe when

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I went to Rome. I used the Erlo app ai

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>r A l O and that app. You go in

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>there and you just buy a simcard for whatever country

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you're in and it's a great deal and you activate

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it right from your phone. Boom, your phone is activated.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>They're data only, so you can only you know, you

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 1>can't make and receive calls with them, but you can

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>send text you know, I message Telegram, whatever not, SMS.

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 1>But you can also just use all the data too,

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 1>so really easy, really simple, and that's what I recommend

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Ai r Alo for that. All right, now let's talk

0:35:56.160 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>about Apple Watch Ultra. This is Apple sort of top

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of the line Apple Watch, the Ultra. I can't believe

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 1>for something that is so intense, it is seriously the

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 1>lightest watch. Like this thing looks big and bulky on

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 1>your wrist, it actually looked pretty. I don't have the

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>biggest risks in the world, and it actually looked really

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>good on my wrist. Like it's something I would consider

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.800
<v Speaker 1>getting because of a couple things. First off, it's the Ultra.

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, it's the best. And then it

0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's got some extra features built in,

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 1>bigger battery, some more durability. It also has a flat screen,

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so if you like that flat screen, it is flat.

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not rounded on the edges, which is kind of nice.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>But it looks like it would be very heavy, but

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not. It's super lightweight. And so I don't know

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:49.720
<v Speaker 1>how Apple did it, but they did. Now, this Apple

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Watch Ultra is for the rugged outdoors person or the

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>athlete and or the you know, any extreme sports kind

0:36:57.239 --> 0:37:02.319
<v Speaker 1>of person divers, this kind of stuff. Three built in microphones,

0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>so when you're talking on this thing, you should hear

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the quality and voice. You should see a perceptive change

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in the quality and voice calls. There's three mics that

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 1>are picking up your voice. There's also this new action button,

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>So this is an additional button on this device, and

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it's in high contrast international orange, and it's on the

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 1>left side of the device, and it just a big

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 1>orange button that you can program to do different things.

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 1>So you can press it to bring up an app,

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you can press it when you're inside an app for

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 1>an alternative functionality. And app developers, you know, they're just

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 1>learning about this stuff too, so they're going to start

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 1>building their apps with all of these functions in mind.

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:47.319
<v Speaker 1>But the other thing that's different about this is it's

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:50.200
<v Speaker 1>got a bigger speaker on it, So the speaker is

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>really big. The digital crown, that little turn button is

0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 1>much bigger and like more substantial, so it's easier to

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:00.879
<v Speaker 1>manipulate with like a glove on your hand. And this

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you this is just like I can't explain

0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 1>this watch. But it's not for like the everyday person

0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:11.880
<v Speaker 1>like me. It's really for someone who I've got people

0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.799
<v Speaker 1>in mind that climb rocks for you know, on the weekends,

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:23.799
<v Speaker 1>or really extreme hiking in extreme sports, triathlons, triathletes, those

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of people, marathon runners, people that really need the

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:30.600
<v Speaker 1>maximum battery, maximum use of an Apple Watch without ruining

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it by you know, all these things. Just the bands

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:36.439
<v Speaker 1>on this watch are one hundred dollars, so it comes

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.360
<v Speaker 1>with one, thankfully, but an extra band from Apple is

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>a hundred bucks. That's that's pretty expensive. It also has

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>more GPS built in, so this has what's called L

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>one and L five GPS, and so what that means

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.320
<v Speaker 1>is that you are going to get even more accurate

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>GPS locks and quicker because it has better GPS on it.

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.840
<v Speaker 1>The it's got this new waypoints functionality, and I believe

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this is coming to other Apple watches too. But the

0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Compass app we did this cool little walk around the

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Apple campus where we figured out basically, you can set

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:13.560
<v Speaker 1>waypoints on your watch and you can navigate back to those,

0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 1>but you can also do something called backtrack. And this

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:17.759
<v Speaker 1>is kind of interesting, and I believe this is coming

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to the Apple Watch as well, not just the Ultra,

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but the backtracks feature will let you kind of track

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>your entire walk or run or hike or whatever, so

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that if you get lost, you can just follow your

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>tracks back to where you started. And the interesting thing

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 1>about this is that you can start this manually, but

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it also triggers automatically, so if you leave cellular or

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi range, your watch goes hmm, all right, Rich

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 1>is leaving like any sort of civilized area, so let's

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.840
<v Speaker 1>start recording his tracks just in case he needs to

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:55.440
<v Speaker 1>make his way back to where he started. And so

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it uses what's called backtracks, and it uses GPS to

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it starts recording your GPS data. I don't know if

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it's every couple of seconds or every minute, whatever it is,

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:08.320
<v Speaker 1>but it basically it's almost like a breadcrumb to where you,

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, can lead yourself back to where you started from.

0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:14.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's a really nice way of not getting lost,

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>which is really nice. Let's see this Apple Watch Ultra

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.080
<v Speaker 1>also has crash detection, and let's see what else does

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it have that's interesting. It's just a really kind of

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>neat looking watch. Now, this is the first generation of

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 1>an Apple product, so I would say, you know, little

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>caution here because the first generation of Apple products they're good,

0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:39.959
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the second generation comes along and they've

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>smoothed out all the things that were kind of not

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe not the best on the first generation.

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget Apple is planning things out, you know, a

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of years in advance. So this watch is is great,

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.520
<v Speaker 1>but it is the first generation and next generation will

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>probably have a couple of things that are a little

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.879
<v Speaker 1>bit better. And yes, someone's asking on the chat. What

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.799
<v Speaker 1>is the price of the Apple Watch ultra It is

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred dollars and there is no camera on the

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>watch that someone's asking in the chat, no camera on it.

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Eight hundred dollars. Now that includes GP, that includes cellular.

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.840
<v Speaker 1>There is no version of this watch without a cellular connection.

0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Now I say cellular connection, I mean a cellular antenna.

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:23.759
<v Speaker 1>It's not activated. You know, you have to pay the

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>ten dollars a month if you want to make and

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 1>receive calls and texts and all that stuff. One thing

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you should know, at least in the US, if you

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have an Apple Watch with cellular and you have an

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 1>emergency and you do not have that cellular activated on

0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:41.719
<v Speaker 1>your watch, by law, that Watch will still connect to

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>nine one one for free. So this applies to any

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 1>cellular device in America. Cellular device in America, you dial

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>nine one one on it, even if there's no cell

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:55.640
<v Speaker 1>phone plan on that device, it will still connect you

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to a nine one one operator. So let's just say,

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:01.520
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenario, you just want to be safe, you

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.799
<v Speaker 1>buy the cellular version of the Apple Watch. It will

0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:07.399
<v Speaker 1>still be able to call nine one one in emergency

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 1>if you need it to, even if you don't pay

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that five to ten dollars a months your cell phone carrier.

0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Now I did ask Apple that specifically, because that's not

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 1>really something I can test out. I knew that was

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 1>true of cell phones, but I was just curious with

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watches. But that is the case now, I say

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:26.360
<v Speaker 1>in America, in the United States only because different countries

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:29.720
<v Speaker 1>have different laws about that. So, for instance, in Japan,

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 1>it's illegal for a non activated cell phone device to

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:37.440
<v Speaker 1>call nine one one, and I don't know why that is.

0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's just to keep the phone calls down from

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, prank calls and stuff. But in the US,

0:42:42.560 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at least, any device that is a cellular device can

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.960
<v Speaker 1>call nine one one, even if it is not active

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 1>on a plan, so good to know. Anyway, eight hundred

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.359
<v Speaker 1>dollars for the Apple Watch Ultra. This is available later on.

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the day. Oh uh oh, Friday September

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty third, so it's available, well not this Friday or

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>not next Friday, but the next Friday later in September.

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:07.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think it's really cool. I don't

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 1>know if that's for me, but it's definitely a cool device.

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Thirty six hours of battery life, sixty hours of battery

0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 1>life if you put on the low power mode. So

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's kind of a big device. You know who

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you are if you need that device, right, You know

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're an extreme sports person. You know that you're

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>an extreme athlete or are hiking, you know, in the

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>middle of nowhere, and that's something that appeals to you,

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 1>all right, Bobby says, I was one of the few

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.399
<v Speaker 1>lucky to actually snag one of those hundred dollars fire

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.359
<v Speaker 1>TVs on Amazon Prime Day. The one problem I seem

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to be having is that there doesn't seem to be

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:45.160
<v Speaker 1>an answer to if I leave the room for more

0:43:45.200 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 1>than five minutes, my TV shuts off. I have googled

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and googled, but can't find a way to change the

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 1>settings so the TV doesn't turn off. There's plenty of

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 1>explanations out there and how to get the fire stick

0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to stop turning the TV off, but not this Prime

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 1>day one hundred dollars. I figured since you got one,

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you might know the answer. I'm sure lots of us

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:09.560
<v Speaker 1>would appreciate the info. Thanks Bobby. Bobby. Yes, I did

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>get one of these one hundred dollars Amazon fire TVs.

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I have since handed it over to my in laws

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>who are using it in kind of like a kid's

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:23.320
<v Speaker 1>playroom situation, and so far we have not had this issue.

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think there could be two things going on here.

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Number One, you might have set this TV up in

0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.839
<v Speaker 1>demo mode and that might be causing it to time

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:34.279
<v Speaker 1>out after five minutes and go into some sort of

0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 1>demo mode. That's just a guess. I don't know. I

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard any talk from my in laws that this

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 1>TV is doing this, so I think this could either

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 1>be a lemon or it could be in that demo

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:51.960
<v Speaker 1>mode situation. So here's what I would do. I would

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or it could the other thing it could be doing,

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.080
<v Speaker 1>is it may not be turning off, but it may

0:44:56.080 --> 0:45:00.120
<v Speaker 1>be activating a screen saver that is just blank, So

0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that could be another way. So I would here's my

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>order of things. Number one, I'd look at the screen

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:08.480
<v Speaker 1>saver and see what that's set to and see what

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the timeout is on that screen saver. Number two, I

0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:14.400
<v Speaker 1>would reset the TV, like, go into the settings and

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:18.359
<v Speaker 1>go back to a factory reset and start fresh, and

0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>watch every menu as you go through. If it still

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>happens after that, I would contact Amazon and get a

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:27.759
<v Speaker 1>replacement TV. So it sounds like it could just be

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a software thing or kind of a you know, just

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a setting somewhere, But it sounds like you've gone through

0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the settings pretty thoroughly, so maybe you just got a

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>defective TV. I mean, they sold thousands of these things,

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:43.600
<v Speaker 1>so there's a chance that it's defective. But Amazon should

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:45.960
<v Speaker 1>make good on that TV. There's a warranty on it.

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:49.239
<v Speaker 1>So it's been you know, a couple months at Prime

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 1>day was in July, so I think that you should

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:55.480
<v Speaker 1>be good. If not, send me an email hello at

0:45:55.560 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 1>richontech dot TV, and I will escalate the issue to

0:45:59.000 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and make sure that you get the help that

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you need. But you know. That's you know, sometimes I'll

0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do that for folks. You know, if they're really stuck

0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in a place where they can't seem to get any

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:12.239
<v Speaker 1>help with something, I will, you know, if I can,

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll step in. I don't you know. Look, I don't

0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:17.480
<v Speaker 1>have any special privileges at these companies, but sometimes they'll

0:46:17.520 --> 0:46:21.360
<v Speaker 1>listen to me a little bit more just because you know,

0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they know that I'll report on it on social media

0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or on TV if there's some kind of you know,

0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>widespread issue that they're sort of covering up or not

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 1>really helping people with. So that's that's what I'm talking about.

0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's talk about the AirPods Pro so AirPods Pro.

0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And again, you know, I tell you all this stuff.

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I did have a whole day yesterday. I'm not sure

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I can talk about this, but I'm whatever. I did it.

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:49.320
<v Speaker 1>So I spent the whole day at the Apple campus

0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>yesterday going hands on with these products, and so not

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 1>just during the event, but after the event. I got

0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time to sort of play with these

0:46:58.520 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>products and to really see what they're all about, and

0:47:02.120 --> 0:47:04.359
<v Speaker 1>not just that, but talk to the experts that help

0:47:04.440 --> 0:47:07.560
<v Speaker 1>create them. And so I you know, really have a

0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:10.520
<v Speaker 1>good knowledge of these things, a working knowledge of how

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:13.839
<v Speaker 1>they work, without one hundred percent playing with them for

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, days on end. Just yet, I will fully

0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:20.160
<v Speaker 1>review them, but that takes some time. AirPods Pro so

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.359
<v Speaker 1>new chip inside. It's been a while, It's been about

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:25.440
<v Speaker 1>what three years since the AirPods Pro came out. New

0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 1>chip inside H two it's called H one was the

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:32.759
<v Speaker 1>first one. H two chip is going to cancel as

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:37.600
<v Speaker 1>much as twice as much noise as the last AirPods Pro. Now.

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I love the first generation AirPods Pro. I thought they

0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:44.319
<v Speaker 1>were really good. There were some things I didn't like

0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:48.160
<v Speaker 1>about them, specifically the transparency mode and how they felt

0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:50.719
<v Speaker 1>like you could be underwater a little bit with the

0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:55.520
<v Speaker 1>noise cancelation. I don't sense that in these new generations.

0:47:55.520 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you didn't like the first generation of AirPods Pro,

0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I would definitely see what the new generation feels like

0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:08.799
<v Speaker 1>in your ears. So the transparency mode, specifically, this is

0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:12.680
<v Speaker 1>on by default, and what it does is it lets

0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you hear stuff around you. But it's you know, you

0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:19.680
<v Speaker 1>keep these EarPods, these air pods in you can still

0:48:19.719 --> 0:48:21.920
<v Speaker 1>hear your surrounding areas and what they've done with this

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:25.839
<v Speaker 1>transparency mode is it's sort of adaptive and so even

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have active noise cancelation on. Let's say

0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you're doing transparency mode, you're walking down the street, you

0:48:31.719 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 1>hear a siren from an ambulance, it will actually lower

0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the decibels of that siren to make it more comfortable

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:40.920
<v Speaker 1>for you know, your ears not going to drown it out.

0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:42.840
<v Speaker 1>You'll still hear it, but it's not going to be

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>as like jarring to your ears. So these actually do

0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:48.520
<v Speaker 1>take out some of the environmental noise, which I thought

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:51.240
<v Speaker 1>was pretty interesting. If they didn't fit in your ears.

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:53.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a new smaller ear tip, so there's an extra

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:56.720
<v Speaker 1>small ear tips, so now you get extra small, small, medium,

0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and large. This is kind of funky. I didn't try

0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:02.440
<v Speaker 1>this feed sure, but I guess I will at some point.

0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:06.319
<v Speaker 1>But you now use the camera on your iPhone to

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:10.520
<v Speaker 1>measure your ear and your head and it takes a

0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:13.319
<v Speaker 1>reading of the shape of your ear and head and

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:17.080
<v Speaker 1>then adjust the audio for your ear and head. I

0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I mean, really, I'm not an audio file

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 1>so maybe I just don't appreciate that kind of thing.

0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:24.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if it makes audio sound better, so

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>be it. I know that that's a thing, and I

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:29.760
<v Speaker 1>know other companies are doing that, and so clearly it's

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.839
<v Speaker 1>a thing. The other big change is now the touch

0:49:32.880 --> 0:49:36.320
<v Speaker 1>controls in the AirPods Pro on the stems. Used to

0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:38.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to kind of squeeze them to do different things,

0:49:38.920 --> 0:49:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to activate Siri or to you know, change the music

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to the next song, play pause, you know, change the

0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:49.800
<v Speaker 1>transparency mode or active noise cancelation. Now you can swipe

0:49:49.920 --> 0:49:53.200
<v Speaker 1>up or down on them and adjust the volume. And

0:49:53.320 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a very easy motion. It's a very simple motion

0:49:56.760 --> 0:49:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and it works. I did test it out and it

0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:03.800
<v Speaker 1>actually is quite useful. You get a slightly better battery life,

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 1>so an extra one and a half hours of listening time.

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought that the AirPods Pro first generation listening time

0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:13.799
<v Speaker 1>was amazing. I always joked that I barely ever had

0:50:13.840 --> 0:50:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to charge these things. But these apparently get even more time.

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So now you get six hours extra total listening time

0:50:22.680 --> 0:50:26.120
<v Speaker 1>over the first generation. So I feel like AirPods. I mean,

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.680
<v Speaker 1>unless you're going on an international trip and listening for

0:50:28.719 --> 0:50:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like twenty four hours, I don't think that it's that

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 1>big of a deal. And Tony's asking if they're waterproof.

0:50:33.719 --> 0:50:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're waterproof, but they're definitely water resistant.

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And so I dropped mine in a cup of coffee

0:50:41.880 --> 0:50:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and they survived. The first generation. I thought they were dead,

0:50:46.560 --> 0:50:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and no, they came back to life after they dried out.

0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I did rinse them off and dried them out for

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a day or two and they still work. Let's see.

0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:56.920
<v Speaker 1>The new thing about charging is the case is I

0:50:56.920 --> 0:51:00.759
<v Speaker 1>believe it's charging wireless charging by default, and you can

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:03.400
<v Speaker 1>now charge the case with an Apple Watch charger, so

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of nice if you're in that Apple ecosystem.

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:10.560
<v Speaker 1>You can charge the case with an Apple Watch charger,

0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 1>so one less charger to bring with you. They also

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 1>have a newly designed charging case that has a lanyard

0:51:19.040 --> 0:51:23.880
<v Speaker 1>loop on it. So there's a lanyard loop on the

0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>charging case, which means that you can attach a third

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:30.640
<v Speaker 1>party lanyard to the case, which makes it easier to

0:51:30.680 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>hold clip to a belt, whatever you want. The lanyard

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that they showed us as a demo was thirteen dollars

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and Apple does not include a lanyard in the box.

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:43.080
<v Speaker 1>But there's going to be plenty of accessories that will

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.640
<v Speaker 1>latch onto this. It's just a standard lanyard loop area.

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is that they've built find My into

0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the case, so you can now locate your charging case

0:51:52.440 --> 0:51:54.200
<v Speaker 1>with precision on the iPhone. So if you have an

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:57.680
<v Speaker 1>iPhone twelve or thirteen I think it's a twelve or

0:51:57.760 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>thirteen or fourteen, your phone can actually guide you to

0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the case with precision. There's also a speaker on the case,

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 1>so the case can emit a tone, so it tells

0:52:10.040 --> 0:52:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you when it's you know where it is. And if

0:52:12.680 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you look at my instagram at rich On Tech, you

0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>can see I did a little demo of the sound

0:52:17.120 --> 0:52:19.480
<v Speaker 1>on the case. It's actually quite loud. It's not like

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the sound that the AirPods themselves emit, which can be

0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:25.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of soft. It's quite loud coming from the speaker

0:52:25.760 --> 0:52:30.239
<v Speaker 1>on the on the actual case. These are two hundred

0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars, same as before. They'll be available on Friday,

0:52:34.320 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 1>September twenty third, and I will tell you that I think,

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.160
<v Speaker 1>just in the demos that I got that the AirPods

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Pro second generation are are much better. Maybe I don't know.

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they're more comfortable. In the year they sound better,

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and the noise cancelation is definitely better, and so is

0:52:52.160 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that transparency mode. So if you didn't like the first

0:52:55.640 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 1>generation of AirPods pro, I know, two hundred fifty dollars

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 1>is a lot for a pair of earbuds, but it's

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:05.920
<v Speaker 1>something that you come to really love and enjoy. And

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.040
<v Speaker 1>my wife and I bought her the regular AirPods. We

0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:11.799
<v Speaker 1>got to the checkout at the Apple Store and she

0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>had no idea how much they were, but you know,

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:14.880
<v Speaker 1>they ring us up and I think they were like

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:17.360
<v Speaker 1>two hundred bucks. And she said, wait, two hundred dollars

0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:19.680
<v Speaker 1>for earbuds. What are you crazy? And I said no, no,

0:53:19.800 --> 0:53:22.160
<v Speaker 1>just trust me. And they turn out to be her

0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:26.160
<v Speaker 1>favorite device for the iPhone because she just loved them.

0:53:26.200 --> 0:53:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they just until they stop working. I don't

0:53:29.480 --> 0:53:31.520
<v Speaker 1>know what the deals with AirPods, but there's this weird

0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:33.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that a lot of times, like the right or

0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:36.560
<v Speaker 1>left like doesn't charge, or the right or left like

0:53:36.640 --> 0:53:39.680
<v Speaker 1>stops working and it like doesn't connect. So I've seen

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that problem a couple of times with her AirPods, some

0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:45.840
<v Speaker 1>older AirPods I had. So I hope that that problem

0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:49.839
<v Speaker 1>is gone. And let's see what did someone ask what's

0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 1>transparency mode. Transparency mode means that you can have these

0:53:53.680 --> 0:53:56.919
<v Speaker 1>AirPods in your ears and you can still hear what's

0:53:56.960 --> 0:54:00.439
<v Speaker 1>going on around you. So it's sort of it sort

0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of takes in the outside sounds, it processes them, but

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you're still hearing them. Kind of like the way they

0:54:06.520 --> 0:54:10.560
<v Speaker 1>sound and kind of true to life, just maybe a

0:54:10.600 --> 0:54:17.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit less, all right, Dennis says, need your opinion

0:54:17.600 --> 0:54:19.440
<v Speaker 1>on two phones. I'm not an Apple fan, so I'm

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 1>looking at the Galaxy Flip four or the Pixel six

0:54:21.680 --> 0:54:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Pro currently using an LG stylos. Dennis, the Galaxy Flip

0:54:27.239 --> 0:54:33.680
<v Speaker 1>four is a very endearing device. There's something very fun

0:54:33.760 --> 0:54:36.880
<v Speaker 1>about the Galaxy Flip four. So if camera is not

0:54:37.040 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 1>your number one priority, if kind of like having a

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:43.959
<v Speaker 1>fun overall device is an Android device is your thing,

0:54:44.160 --> 0:54:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I would go with the Flip four. The Pixel six

0:54:46.040 --> 0:54:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Pro is great. I just find that it's a little big,

0:54:48.800 --> 0:54:50.279
<v Speaker 1>whereas the Flip four is going to be a lot

0:54:50.320 --> 0:54:53.200
<v Speaker 1>easier to hold and handle. And also the Pixel is

0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:58.160
<v Speaker 1>coming out with a new version on October seventh, and

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:00.640
<v Speaker 1>so they're having a big event in New York City

0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:03.120
<v Speaker 1>where they're going to launch the Pixel seven so I

0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:05.120
<v Speaker 1>would hold off on the Pixel six for now because

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the Pixel seven is going to be better,

0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think the size of the Pixel seven is

0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:13.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be better than the Pixel six Pro. And

0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you need the Pixel six the

0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:18.880
<v Speaker 1>pro or the seven Pro because that just adds a

0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:21.200
<v Speaker 1>zoom lens and I'm not sure you really need that.

0:55:21.280 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 1>So I would check out the Galaxy Flip. You do

0:55:24.200 --> 0:55:27.080
<v Speaker 1>not get zoom on the Galaxy Flip. You do, but

0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it is optical and so you don't get any sorry,

0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it is digital zoom. You don't get optical zoom on

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:37.839
<v Speaker 1>the Flip four, so it is an optical zoom. So yeah,

0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you can go two x four x ten x whatever,

0:55:40.440 --> 0:55:42.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's going to be a digital zoom, so it's

0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to be as good as an optical zoom.

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to another question here while we

0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:53.520
<v Speaker 1>still have another couple of minutes. Lisa says, you always

0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:55.239
<v Speaker 1>seem to have good advice, so I need some. My

0:55:55.320 --> 0:55:57.600
<v Speaker 1>husband has hearing aids that make holding the phone up

0:55:57.600 --> 0:56:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to his ear impossible. He uses the speaker phone Future,

0:56:00.400 --> 0:56:02.880
<v Speaker 1>but still has problems listening even at the loudest volume

0:56:03.200 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 1>for use at home. Can you recommend a speaker so

0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:07.000
<v Speaker 1>we can use to link to or a cable to

0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:11.200
<v Speaker 1>increase the volume. I await your suggestions. Thank you, Lisa, Lisa.

0:56:12.000 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Home Pod Mini, home Pod Mini two words, three syllables,

0:56:17.680 --> 0:56:23.239
<v Speaker 1>two words. HomePod Mini fantastic extra speaker. You link it

0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:26.000
<v Speaker 1>up to your iPhone. You can make and received calls

0:56:26.040 --> 0:56:28.400
<v Speaker 1>on it. It works as a speaker phone and it

0:56:28.440 --> 0:56:31.959
<v Speaker 1>will be significantly louder than anything that the iPhone can admit.

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:35.719
<v Speaker 1>It's ninety nine dollars regularly. I'm sure you can find

0:56:35.719 --> 0:56:38.800
<v Speaker 1>it on sale for cheaper than that. But it's very simple.

0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's very easy, same thing as speakerphone. When the answers

0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the phone, you just toggle a little switch there and

0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it says, you know, do you want to connect that

0:56:46.520 --> 0:56:50.839
<v Speaker 1>call to the HomePod. Yeah, it's been a while since

0:56:50.880 --> 0:56:53.239
<v Speaker 1>I use the HomePod. But it may even ring on

0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the HomePod. There may be a setting to have the

0:56:55.000 --> 0:56:58.360
<v Speaker 1>HomePod ring or to answer by default on the HomePod

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:01.240
<v Speaker 1>as well, so I would check those features. But HomePod

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:04.279
<v Speaker 1>Mini super simple, super easy. Put it next to your

0:57:04.320 --> 0:57:06.880
<v Speaker 1>husband's chair and you know he can just use that

0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:13.760
<v Speaker 1>for you know, whatever he needs for listening. Tony says,

0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:16.680
<v Speaker 1>how is this when someone leaves their room phone in

0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a room and you can hear the sound on the phone.

0:57:20.160 --> 0:57:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what that means. All right, one more

0:57:23.280 --> 0:57:27.440
<v Speaker 1>question before I go here. Doug says, if your family

0:57:27.520 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>or close friends was telling you they were switching cell

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 1>phone plans from Verizon, what cell phone company would you suggest?

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Doug C Junior, Doug, that's an interesting one.

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I will say that I have Verizon, and I've been

0:57:42.120 --> 0:57:44.560
<v Speaker 1>not very impressed with the service lately. And I don't

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 1>know if it's just my phone. I don't know if

0:57:46.600 --> 0:57:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it's the LA area. I don't know if it's where

0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I live, where I work, but it seems to me

0:57:51.880 --> 0:57:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that the Verizon service either going through some growing pains

0:57:56.320 --> 0:57:59.880
<v Speaker 1>or some issues. I'm not sure, but it has become

0:58:00.400 --> 0:58:04.080
<v Speaker 1>spottier than I like. And I was on a very

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:09.640
<v Speaker 1>important call in my studios at KTLA where I literally

0:58:09.720 --> 0:58:11.840
<v Speaker 1>could not make or receive a phone call. It was

0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that bad. I had to go outside and that has

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:17.840
<v Speaker 1>never happened before in the history of working at that studio.

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:20.520
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what they changed. What's different. In

0:58:20.600 --> 0:58:24.440
<v Speaker 1>my home? My Apple Watch doesn't get a good signal,

0:58:24.520 --> 0:58:28.640
<v Speaker 1>which is really also annoying. So I don't know, I'm

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:30.680
<v Speaker 1>not bagging on Verizon. I still like them. I still

0:58:30.680 --> 0:58:33.800
<v Speaker 1>think overall from everywhere I've traveled in the world that

0:58:34.000 --> 0:58:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Verizon has been very good. But I think that when

0:58:36.720 --> 0:58:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the service that you have. For instance,

0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:42.400
<v Speaker 1>my dad just switched to a different cell phone carrier

0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>because his carrier didn't work where he vacations, and so

0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he wanted a phone that works where he goes on

0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the weekends to you know, this little cabin, and so

0:58:53.640 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>he wanted a phone that works there, And everyone that

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 1>goes up there says, oh, yeah, this service works up there,

0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So he switched to that service provider. And so I

0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.920
<v Speaker 1>think it really just comes down to where you work,

0:59:04.480 --> 0:59:08.360
<v Speaker 1>where you live, and what you're doing. So for years

0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I would go to USC games at the Coliseum and

0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:15.480
<v Speaker 1>no carrier work there. I think maybe, I mean I

0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:18.160
<v Speaker 1>can't even remember, but maybe Verizon worked there but at

0:59:18.240 --> 0:59:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and T T Mobile didn't. So I know a lot

0:59:21.120 --> 0:59:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of people like their carrier. They like it because it

0:59:24.400 --> 0:59:26.280
<v Speaker 1>works where they need it to work, and the price

0:59:26.360 --> 0:59:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is right for them. So I think that carriers to

0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 1>look at include T Mobile, Mint, Mobile. If you want

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a very good value Visible which is owned by Verizon.

0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:39.720
<v Speaker 1>If you want a cheaper Verizon plan, let's see at

0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and T. If you want just a kind of a

0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:46.720
<v Speaker 1>rock of a carrier that has just worked and it's

0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:48.920
<v Speaker 1>just solid and they've got lots of features, and you

0:59:48.960 --> 0:59:51.560
<v Speaker 1>know it's going to work in a lot of good places. Verizon.

0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I love their UW when you have it, like the

0:59:54.560 --> 0:59:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Ultra wideband is just phenomenal. When it's there, it's pretty phenomenal.

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>And Johnny at Apple says, do you think flip phones

1:00:02.600 --> 1:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>already yet? I do. I think with the Flip four,

1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it's finally at a place where I can recommend it

1:00:08.160 --> 1:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to people. I think that you have to be willing,

1:00:10.560 --> 1:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like I said in my review, you have to be

1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>willing to accept some of the pros and cons of

1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a flip phone. And the pros or that it's cool,

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>it's different, it's fun, it's unique. It gives you various

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like angles that you can watch videos. You always have

1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>a tripod. The downside is that it's a foldable phone.

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>The screen could crack, it could break. You're not going

1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to get as good of a camera system as you

1:00:29.880 --> 1:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>can on the regular Samsung phones, but it's kind of fun.

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And finally Bella says, how about Spectrum. You know, Spectrum

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Phone is fine, I personally don't like it because it

1:00:44.840 --> 1:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>links you to Spectrum service and I don't want to

1:00:48.160 --> 1:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>be I want less bundled products because when you bundle products, yeah,

1:00:53.760 --> 1:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you might save some money, but now you're you're less

1:00:57.200 --> 1:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>likely to switch when you're bundled up. So if I

1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>have Internet with Spectrum and I have Spectrum on my phone,

1:01:04.720 --> 1:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to switch from Spectrum if there's a

1:01:06.720 --> 1:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>better deal that comes along, because it's too much of

1:01:08.720 --> 1:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a hassle to switch. And so that for that reason,

1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>even though yeah, you can save a lot of money

1:01:13.240 --> 1:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe with Spectrum, I just would rather have my services independent.

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>And so I just like the flexibility of not having

1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>everything bundled in. And I'm telling you, mark my words,

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing more and more bundles. So we're seeing like

1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the carriers, like Verizon, they just added a bundle that

1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>gives you Apple One. You know, you've got used to

1:01:34.200 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>have HBO Max bundled with AT and T, although that's

1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>been decoupled. T Mobile. You know, they give you Apple

1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>TV Plus, they give you Netflix. The reason why they

1:01:43.040 --> 1:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>bundle these things in is because you are going to

1:01:45.840 --> 1:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>be less likely to switch because you're like, ah, it's

1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>too much effort. I don't want to ruin my Verizon

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>or my Spectrum or my Hulu or my Disney Plus

1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>or my Apple or whatever, because it's all kind of

1:01:56.320 --> 1:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>intermingled and it's all mixed. So that is what I'm

1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about. And even with you know, someone mentioned insurance,

1:02:03.960 --> 1:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>same thing. They bundle the insurance because you know, once

1:02:06.800 --> 1:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it's all bundled up, or you're really gonna go to

1:02:09.680 --> 1:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>different places to shop around for different types of insurance.

1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>So oh, no more questions. I think that this is

1:02:16.400 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>what I was looking for. That sound means this is

1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it or that's gonna do it for this

1:02:21.120 --> 1:02:22.640
