Plus 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:19.440 your pressing tech questions. 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.160 What's going on? I'm Rich Dmiro. 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.800 This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.119 about this stuff I think you should know about happening 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.560 in the tech world. Plus I answer your tech questions 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.640 with the help of producer Megan. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.680 What's up? Producer Megan? 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.400 You know, just it's Friday. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:36.960 It is Friday, Happy Friday. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.960 Normally we record this on Thursdays, but this week I 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.160 was on death's door. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:42.800 Is that what you call it? Or deathbed? 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.960 What do you call it when you're basically knocking on 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.360 my door? 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.680 Yeah? Death was knocking it still is. You can tell. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.520 And I thought you said you aren't sick. 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.400 Well I'm you feel it's your mentally. 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.120 I feel great. Physically, I am like a bag of ashes. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.040 Basically I'm about one step away from being dead. But 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.320 you could probably hear it my voice. I feel like 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.880 my mind is just as good as it always is, 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.120 even on all these day quill meds. So yes, I 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.000 am a little under the weather, but I think it's 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.319 the end of it, because we are going to China 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.360 next week and I really do not want to be 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.880 sick for China. So I'm getting over that. So bear 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.319 with me as we get through the podcast. It's going 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:23.960 to be just as good of a show as if 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.640 I'm not sick. The other thing is, uh, maybe you've noticed, 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.319 but we do have kind of it's kind of a. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.199 New show this week. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.080 Yeah, because if you look at the artwork, we now 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.600 are officially under the KTLA banner. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.280 So so exciting. Oh wait, whoops, that's not it isn't 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.280 there clapping? No? Okay? I yeah, as you can see, 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.760 the show is just as good as ever. Don't we 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.040 have clapping? I No? Okay. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.640 Anyway, So if you notice, the show is now part 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.520 of KTLA. So this is kind of a big deal 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.160 for me here at KTLA because I've been doing this 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.240 podcast on my own for a while and KTLA's had 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.760 their eye on it for a while. It's been kind 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.440 of a separate thing. Now it's part of KATLA. So 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.960 there's no more swearing, Megan, no more potty mouth. Yeah 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.360 you got it, no more swearing. A couple of things, 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.079 A couple listeners we have to say goodbye to No. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.679 I'm just kidding. It's all good. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.079 So basically nothing changes for you at the home audience, 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.480 but for us it just means that it's like just 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:23.000 a little. 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.480 Bit more official. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.040 Yeah, definitely. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.080 We have a new host as well, new podcast host, 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:29.800 not like me, but like I thought you. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.200 Were actually firing me podcast. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.800 No, no, no, I just wanted to tell you, Megan. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:36.120 She starts on Monday. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.680 Yeah, no, no, we have like a new like Art 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.720 nineteen is our new host. So basically now there's like 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.919 all these new analytics, like they're gonna be like like before, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.760 I didn't care how many people listen right now of 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.800 course Katla is like how many listeners did you have? 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.160 How many downloads? But again, none of this changes for 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.560 me or you. It just changes for like the corporate 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.560 big wigs right like they only care. We don't care. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.480 We're doing the same thing here. Before we get into 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.240 the questions, Megan, I we've talked about Economy Basic before 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.840 in the show, and I do know you were surprised 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.400 because you're on a flight San Francisco and you booked 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.040 Economy Basic by accident or you thought you were saving 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:07.519 some money. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.120 How was it? 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.840 Uh, well, I basically booked this flight thinking like, oh, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.320 I'm saving money, like it's one hundred and fifty dollars 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.680 like round trip, and then the night. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.880 Before versus one sixty for regular economy. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.600 Yeah, exactly. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.720 And then and I was going to carry on a suitcase. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.200 And so then when I went to check in, they 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.920 were like, well, you can't check in. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:31.760 First of all, check in. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:32.640 At the airport. 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.800 So I was like, okay, and then I get to 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.839 the next page and it says and you can't bring 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.920 a carry on suitcase. 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.640 And I was like, uh rich literally just had this happen. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.880 And so I immediately like told you. I was like, 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:46.720 I messed up. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.240 So how was it? I mean, you get out the board, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.120 you get were you in the middle. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.520 I end up being like so much more money because 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.320 I had to check my luggage so. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.680 You had to check like a standard bag could have carried. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.280 Dollars, and then on top of another thirty dollars, So 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.040 then the ticket ended up being too hundred and ten dollars. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.840 So I should have just, you know, I should have 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:04.360 just booked the. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.800 Regular So our word to you on this podcast, if 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.080 you get nothing else, is just beware of basic economy. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:10.800 It is not good. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.120 You don't get your seat in advance, you can't use 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.000 the overhead, you can't. You know, it's basically were you 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.080 in the middle though you got you didn't get a middle. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.280 Digit did not get So that's good. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:19.719 Yeah. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.520 Was it a full flight? Uh? 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.800 Pretty full? Yeah? Pretty much? 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:24.600 All right? 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.480 Still yeah, still not good. Let's get into the first 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.920 story of the podcast. This is Amazon launching a new 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.120 Echo Show. And I've not bought one of these Echo shows, 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.600 but they're very popular because a lot of people like Amazon, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.880 they like the Echo They're in the Alexa world. I 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.719 hate that I just said that because I just activated 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.120 a bunch of them. But the Echo Show five is 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.760 now basically Amazon's answer to the Google Home Hub, the 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.160 small one, not the big one. And so this has 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.599 a compact design five point five inch screen HD camera 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.240 and a built in camera shutter. So the reason that 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.880 shutter is important is because because now this can be 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.279 something that is good for the bedside, right, don't necessarily 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.240 want to have a camera next to your bed. A 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.320 lot of people think that's kind of weird. So this 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.599 has a camera shutter where you can physically see that 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:15.560 the camera is blocked and it's interesting because in the notes, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.200 Amazon says, this is kind of a big thing with 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.120 all this privacy. The Echo Show five has a microphone 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.160 camera off button that electronically disconnects both the camera and microphone. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.280 Now that's electronically, which means it can still be hacked 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.240 into staying on right, whereas a lot of the new 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.200 devices we're seeing have a physical disabler, like the MacBook Pro. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.560 When you close the cover, it physically disconnects the microphone, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.400 which means if the cover is in that closed position, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.839 no hacker can go in with software and reconnect the 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.160 microphone because it's like almost like this and you're breaking 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.039 that connection, right. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.360 And same thing on. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.600 The new Google Home Hub, Nest Max whatever they call it, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.480 that has a physical disconnection. So if you turn off 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.920 that slider switch, it's physically disconnecting the camera and microphone. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.440 I don't think it's going to be a huge problem 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.880 with this, But the Echo Show five is ninety dollars. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.279 It goes on sale. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.520 It's on sale right now pre order, but it will 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.800 come out in late June, I think it said June 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.240 twenty sixth. But here's the other thing that's really interesting 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.880 about this, and this will come to all Alexa devices. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.640 But you can now say a delete everything I said today, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.279 and she will delete all the stuff that you said. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.760 And coming soon you'll be able to say, ay, delete 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.320 what I just said. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.480 So if you're like, hey, you know, hey, what's this 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.400 rash on my leg? 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.160 It looks like I'm about to die? And you're like, oh, 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.920 I don't really want my friends or wife to see 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.239 this in my account, you can just say, hey, delete 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.920 what I just said. I always try to think of 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.800 the scenarios when you need this, right, Like, what are 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:44.599 you asking Alexa? 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.440 That's so bad that like you need to delete? Delete 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.120 everything I said? Forget we ever spoke today. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.839 That's what I'm like, what like we'll say. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.279 They probably say a lot of weird stuff. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.880 But here's the other thing, Like if you were law enforcement, 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.280 wouldn't you be thinking like, hey, can you give me 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.840 a red flag on anyone who said delete everything I've 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.720 seen said today? Like give me give me all those 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:02.839 accounts please, because. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:03.279 We're just curious. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:03.960 You don't want to. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.080 See Maybe you don't want to say that. Yeah, all right, 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:12.000 producer Megan, Yes, I do you have a question for me? 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:12.400 Yeah? 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.120 So I'm actually going to start off with two similar 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.720 questions that you received this week. The first one is 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.560 from Kelly Burns and then the second one is from 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:27.640 Donna Monig, and they both have an iPhone six and 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.920 they're looking to upgrade. Kelly asks, I was wondering if 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.440 the iPhone eight or the iPhone XS was better. And 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.520 then Donna she said she can't decide between the iPhone 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:40.600 X or the XR. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.360 And she says, I take a lot of pictures. I 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.760 do Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. I'm a sixty seven year old Nana. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.000 You're number one fan. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.160 Wow, thank you, Nana. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.360 Well, okay, so the questions are very similar. They basically 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.720 want to know which iPhone to get, right. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.800 They both have an iPhone six and they want to know, like, 0:07:58.560 --> 0:07:58.920 you know. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.600 I think I don't think they need to go with 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.440 the ten S like I think there or the ten 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.840 S max or whatever or the ten whatever. I think 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.720 they go with the ten R. I think the ten 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.440 R is a From what I've seen in the evolution 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.880 of the iPhone, the cameras did not really get much 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.560 better from the six, seven and eight. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.360 Even though Apple kind of made it seem like they did. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.360 I really didn't see the leap until the ten and 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.440 then to be honest, from the ten to the ten R, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.600 and the ten S a big improvement, like super big improvement. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.840 So if you're looking at the iPhone you're thinking about 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.600 getting last year's model, like the ten, just go with 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.880 the ten R because you're getting a better camera with 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.920 the ten R than you are with a ten Which 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.520 is crazy because when I thought when the ten came 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.040 out that had a really nice camera, and then I 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.560 used the ten R and the ten S, I was like, 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.440 oh no, this camera is way better. So don't go 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.720 with the eight, don't go with the seven, go definitely 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.000 go with the ten R. And it's a good price 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.719 point too, So I think that that's probably your best 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.959 bet for most people. I think that the iPhone ten 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.000 R is your best solution. That's one my wife uses. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.880 She's very happy with that. She's a very standard iPhone user. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.640 Takes a couple of pictures a day, you know, not 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.280 like a you know, but this grandma is saying that 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.319 she likes you know, Instagram and all that stuff. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:08.880 Snapchat. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.480 Yeah, she on Snapchat. She says, she said she did 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.559 really I know, wow, Okay, snapshot. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:14.640 Is with it. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.040 Yeah, she knows what's up. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:17.920 So I think the ten R is your best bet 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.040 for the average person and trade in your old phone 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.760 and Apple will give you some money towards your new 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.960 one if you don't need it. iPhones are great because 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.840 you can always resell them on the secondary market eBay. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.120 Obviously you're going to get the most for your old phone. 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.200 But if you just want something that's easy, just bringing 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:32.720 it to the Apple store and they'll give you like 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.679 a couple hundred bucks for it, probably like one hundred 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.800 dollars for that one, maybe one twenty five. Speaking of Apple, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.120 they did introduce a new iPod Touch. This is kind 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.800 of a head scratcher because who needs an iPod Touch 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.400 these days? Right, And it's one hundred ninety nine dollars 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.080 for starting price. The real difference here, there's two things 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.040 that they've changed. Number One, they added a new chip, 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.000 the A ten fusion chip, which means that this device 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.200 is faster, and because it's faster, it can now handle 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.040 group FaceTime and augmented reality, so if you want to 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.400 do that on your iPod Touch, you can do that now. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.520 The other thing is it has a new capacity two 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.880 hundred and fifty six gigabytes, which again, this is a 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.079 tiny screen, Like, what are you doing on this thing 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.800 that you need two hundred and fifty six gigs. They 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.840 don't even say the screen size on the press release 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.400 because it's so embarrassingly small. But again, and by the way, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.720 that two hundred and fifty six gig model is three 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.880 hundred and ninety nine dollars. You're talking, you're getting up 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.760 into like iPad territory. So unless I can't imagine a 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.240 reason for an iPod Touch, but they do have one, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.319 I guess even with a kid, I'd rather get them 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.200 like an iPod iPad mini. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.679 Right, yeah, like go with the iPad Mini. I don't know, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.520 all right, Producer Megan. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.680 Okay, so let's segue into an Apple question, another Apple question, 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.240 and this is about the Apple Watch. Mike Larsen asks, question, Rich, 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.280 is there a smart watch that is every bit as 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.960 functional the Apple Watch with an iPhone but has a 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.000 round face? 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:11.960 Ooh, interesting, that's a good question. I don't think so. There. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.040 The Apple Watch, when it comes to like smartphone watches, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.280 really is the best. I mean, it does such a 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.800 great job. And believe me, I'm not you know, mister 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.640 Apple fanboy over here, like you no I'm trying to 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.800 be fair about things, but I when I come across 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.360 something that's. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.760 Really good, like the Apple Watch is really good. 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.680 Like I have a Fitbit Versa on right now, and 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.440 this thing just depresses me, Like it's so it's so 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.640 sad compared to the Apple Watch, Like I love this thing, 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.520 but it's just not the Apple Watch. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:37.360 Like the Apple Watch. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.120 Has a lot of great functionality on it. Not to 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.920 knock the Fitbit Versa if you know, I did a 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.360 great review on it, because it's a great it's a 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.280 great alternative to the Apple Watch. But he's asking for 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.520 a device that does everything that the Apple Watch does, 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.760 which is really tough because there's a lot of apps 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.240 for it. You can control so many things on it. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.040 The only thing I'd say is similar in like a 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.760 very roundabout way is the Samsung Galaxy Watch, which is 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:05.280 their latest watch. Actually sorry, that's not their latest one. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.120 The uh it's always get I always mess up the 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.880 name on this thing. This is what happens when companies 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.920 don't send me stuff to try out because I forget, 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.200 Like if I just see it at like an event 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.520 and I never get to play with it at home, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.199 I kind of forget about it. But it's the Galaxy 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.199 Watch Active. And okay, sorry to Samsung. They actually did 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.720 offer to send me one and I said don't because 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.760 I'm not I don't have time to review it right now. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.240 But it's called the Galaxy so I take that back. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.120 But this is the Galaxy Watch Active, and it is 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.920 a beautiful device as a really nice round face. We 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.920 saw this at the Samsung event and again, it will 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.280 work with iOS. It just won't be pretty, you know, 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.840 it'll it'll do your basic functionality. But if you really want, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.240 like the way that the iOS operating system is, if 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.440 you want things to work properly, you have to use 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.480 Apple products and that's kind of the reality here. It'll work, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.440 but it's just not going to be that good. So 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.120 it does do everything you need. It keeps track of 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.520 all your stuff. Let me just make sure that it 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.400 still works with iOS, because yeah, it does. iPhone five 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.360 and above iOS nine. I mean, that's that's basically your 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.840 best next bet is the Galaxy Watch Active. It's two 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.000 hundred dollars, really nice design. It looks like a real watch, 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.640 but again it's not an Apple watch, and it doesn't 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.560 have a lot of the functionality that the Apple Watch 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.080 is gonna have, especially when you're syncing it with an iPhone. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:19.960 Does that make sense? 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:20.800 Yeah, totally. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.360 Okay, So there's this big article. My old producer, actually, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.520 Vanessa sent this to me. She actually tweeted me and said, hey, Rich, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:29.640 I saw this on Forbes. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.280 Is this true? 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.640 And she was way ahead of the curve because a 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.600 lot of other people sent this article to me as well, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.720 and I talked about on the radio this week and 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.160 the article headline is why you should never use airport 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.120 USB charging stations. 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.400 Now have you heard of Forbes? 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.400 You mean, like the news? 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:46.760 Yeah? 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.880 Yeah, okay, So they have historically been a very nice, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.440 like kind of historic like old school media site, right, 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.680 like old school magazine fair right, this their website. Throw 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.400 all that out the window, Like they just go for 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.840 clickbait one hundred percent. Like they just let everyone contribute 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.360 to their website. Anyone can write anything. And man, I 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.959 think this medicine is really just bringing out the honesty and. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:12.720 Tell it how it is. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.360 But the reality is, like I look at every Forbes 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.120 article and I'm like, this is bs because it's just 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.960 clickbait like ninety nine percent of the time. And you 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.720 can always tell when an article is clickbait by the 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.360 way they write the headline, and so instead of giving 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 you good detailed information in the headline, they just try 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.360 to get you to click to find the information in 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:31.880 the article. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:32.120 Right. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.680 So this article is why you should never use airport 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.480 USB charging stations, and it's like, oh, that's interesting, I 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.520 want to know, right, Like ry, so I click the article. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.600 I read it. It's an interview with a security person 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.200 at IBM Security. So already they're trying to sell you 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.560 know security, right. Their their job is to make you scared. Right, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.880 So let's put it this way. I've been in airports 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.480 around the world and never once have I been like, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.440 I shouldn't plug my phone in there because it's going 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.600 to sap all of my data off my phone, right, Like, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.960 give me a break in the airport. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:04.680 It's you're gonna be fine. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.800 But the reality is she does bring up some good 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.440 things and the bigger point, and I'm not just knocking 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.960 Forbes or knocking this article or this writer, but I 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.160 am just saying like, you should always be hyper aware 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.640 of any sort of security breach or potential security breach 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.040 in anything that you do with technology. So if you're 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.160 hopping on a Wi Fi network, or if you're plugging 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.240 something in, or god forbid, you're using the computer in 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.800 the lobby at the air at the hotel, which I 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.840 would never do that in a million years, don't ever 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:32.120 do that. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.640 So those places, yes, you have to think. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.760 About this stuff, But the reality is nine times out 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.920 of ten, if you plug your phone into a USB 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.120 port at the airport, you're probably gonna be just fine. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.840 But they're saying that this is a major security issue 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.560 because when you plug your phone in, there's there could 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.560 be malware on that port that someone popped in there, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.680 somehow loaded it on there, and it's putting it on 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.600 your phone, and then it's basically sending all your data 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.000 of your phone to like a malicious third part. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.920 The chance of that happening very slim. Right. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.880 There may be some countries where this kind of stuff happens, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.960 especially if you're in like the CIA or something, but 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.800 for the average person plugging at lax like at the armrest, 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:10.960 probably not gonna happen. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:11.360 Now. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.760 The other reason I say that this is not that 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.160 big of a deal is because on the iPhone, when 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.480 you plug your iPhone into a new device, you've probably 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.280 seen this screen before. It says, do you want to 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.760 trust this device? Have you ever seen that where it's like, 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:23.920 do you want to trust this computer? 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:24.440 Yes? 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.200 That was added recently to iOS, and again it's like 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.760 an extra security precaution because it's saying, hey, we might 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.880 be exchanging some data here, like are you aware of that? 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.040 Like you trust this computer? And that was put in 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.440 for circumstances like this where you might plug your phone 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.480 into something and on the back end they just go, oh, 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.600 we're gonna get all her pictures right now. So Apple 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.800 is smart and they did that, and you know, they 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.120 basically made that little note that you have to say, yes, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.920
