Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to Taylus of tech
2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.800
Live on YouTube. It's been a minute, it's been crazy,
3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.119
it's been busy, but yeah, Nicholas is cutting to the chase.
4
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.839
Thanks for tuning in. We'll get to your pre stream
5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.800
question in a second. But yeah, I'm about to head
6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.800
out on a very large trip I was kind of
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:28.800
alluding to with my Airpod's pro review, So this is
8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.399
very likely my last stream. Yeah, that probably includes members
9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.920
only streams as well. Most likely. I don't know what
10
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.159
my internet situation is going to be, like where I'm
11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.759
going or my recording situation. I'm going to be overseas,
12
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.880
out of the country, visiting family, So yeah, this is
13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:51.000
kind of my last hurrah for the year. There's not
14
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.640
a ton of tech news to go around anyway, but yeah,
15
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.359
I just thought this is a good way to kind
16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.640
of say happy New Year to everybody in happy holidays.
17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.640
But yeah, there's a title and thumbnail question that I've
18
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.079
picked that we can kick off the stream with. Of course,
19
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.840
that doesn't have to be the topic for the entire stream.
20
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.840
That's just one we're starting with, but it's what probably
21
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.760
I would have done as a video today but at
22
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.519
the last second, I was like, you know what, we
23
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.200
haven't streamed for a while. I want to hear from
24
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.840
you guys. I want to know exactly what you would
25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.480
rather talk about in doing live streams is a good
26
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.719
way to make that help them. So welcome cat Attack,
27
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.840
Welcome Yehirasawa, Welcome Legalized Comedy. Thank you all for joining.
28
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.519
But yeah, Google essentially announced, or a couple companies announced.
29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.280
It's kind of like a triple brand collaboration. It's essentially
30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.640
Google has announced for the first time in eight years,
31
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.680
a brand new operating system called Android XR or basically
32
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.719
mixed reality, and Samsung has developed hardware for it, and
33
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.719
Qualcom is designing the silicon for it. So you need
34
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.040
three of these big, you know, multi billion dollar corporations
35
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.799
to do what Apple did by themselves with Apple Vision Pro,
36
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.000
or at least announced by themselves. But it's kind of
37
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.159
interesting because, yeah, the mixed reality space is still very
38
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.680
early and it's still not mature at all, which is
39
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.479
why it's kind of interesting to me because there's the
40
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.000
best room for improvement. But if you recall a few
41
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.400
months ago, I kind of expected Meta to take more
42
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.159
of the Android segment of the field, you know, kind
43
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.560
of like how we have iOS and Android or Mac
44
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.800
and Windows. In the tech space, it's pretty common for
45
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:40.039
tech companies to kind of find a duopoly system where
46
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.240
it's like everybody goes with this one or this one.
47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.120
It's kind of like the two party system. Not to
48
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.319
get too political, but thank you Sunny Patel. Happy holidays
49
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.280
in future New Year. Yeah, good to reach the end
50
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.639
of this one. My god, it was a crazy year.
51
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.719
Here's opened for a better twenty twenty five. But my
52
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.439
point is Meta is already trying to be that third
53
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:08.240
party open source operating system. And we covered this a
54
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.080
few months back. It was called Horizon OS. It was
55
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.360
meant to be. You know. Quest already has a lot
56
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.319
of hardware, probably the most popular hardware for headsets out there,
57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.280
like my Reality diced or folded ooh diced reality headset.
58
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.719
That's the new one, dr Android Doctor Oh beautiful. So
59
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.800
they didn't go too much into the details of it.
60
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.360
They didn't announce pricing, they didn't say exactly when this
61
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.439
is shipping. But it's a headset first of all that
62
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.840
has an integrated battery pack on the rear side, so
63
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.080
it's more like a Quest than an Apple Vision Pro
64
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.000
in that way. But it does have a glass front,
65
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.120
just not an eyesight display. Thank god, Please don't put
66
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.159
displays on the outside of our mixed reality headsets, Google.
67
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.680
But that's what's interesting is like Meta created an open
68
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:03.840
source operating systems with the intention that hey, now anybody
69
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.319
can make a headset and use our operating system and
70
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.840
access the quest you know, app store, the Metas Horizon Store,
71
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.560
which was gonna have lots of games and apps. It
72
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.599
does have lots of games and apps that people can use.
73
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.759
But then today Google comes out and says, we're going
74
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.160
to be the third party, open source, you know, mixed
75
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.240
reality headset Space store, so that if you want to
76
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.000
develop a headset, whether you're Samsung, whether you're a SUS
77
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.199
or HDC or whoever it is, you can develop your
78
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.720
own headset and run our operating system, and then you
79
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.879
automatically get access to all of our app stores, you
80
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.720
know content. So now we've got two companies trying to
81
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.680
do kind of the same approach. Uh So, which one's
82
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.600
gonna win? Basically, I feel like one of these companies
83
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.000
is going to become the Windows phone. One of these
84
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.600
companies is going to become the Windows you know, app store,
85
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.879
or the Amazon Phone with the Amazon App Store. It's
86
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.360
like they tried it, but they couldn't really compete. I
87
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.399
don't know. Meta's been around for so long. I have
88
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.759
a very hard time believing that Meta is going to
89
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.279
bend the knee and say, Okay, we'll just put Android
90
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.600
XR on the quest. No, I don't think so. I
91
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.920
think that either Android is coming in pretty late, in
92
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.519
my opinion. Usually Apple is kind of last to different
93
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.120
product categories, but this is the first time that Apple
94
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.839
released a headset. I forget it's this year. It feels
95
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.680
like so long ago now, but yeah, it was in
96
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.959
the beginning of twenty twenty four, Apple released a headset,
97
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.879
but the Samsung Google collaborative headset still isn't supposed to
98
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.079
come out until the end of twenty twenty five. I
99
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.319
think there's going to be a second generation Apple Vision
100
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.199
pro by then. So it's weird to see Apple actually
101
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.920
beat Google to the punch with something, which makes me
102
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.879
wonder if Android XR maybe isn't going anywhere because it's
103
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.800
kind of too late. Like I feel like if I
104
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.600
was a third party company like Razor, or Asus or
105
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.199
Dell whoever it wants to be. And I came up
106
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.800
with a mixed reality headset, and I wanted to use
107
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.319
a third party, open source operating system because I don't
108
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.560
want to develop a whole one in house. That makes sense,
109
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.879
I understand why I'm not Apple. I don't have billions
110
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.639
of dollars to spend on that. I would go with
111
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.240
the more established OS. I would go with the more
112
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.399
established platform. Right in this case, I would argue, that's Meta.
113
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.000
I mean, I got my issues with Meta, but I
114
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.240
feel like any of the complaints you have for Meta
115
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.120
probably still apply to Google. I mean, I think digital
116
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.959
privacy is kind of a myth, but most people are like, oh,
117
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.839
Meta steals your data. I'm like, are there people that
118
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.439
think Meta steals your data? But Google doesn't? Are those
119
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.959
the same people? And I'm like, if you're going to
120
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.000
complain about that, then Apple's basically your only choice, even
121
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.279
though Apple's been caught with leaking out people's personal data anyway,
122
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.519
So I don't I don't think any of them are innocent.
123
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.720
But Google will give up and ditch it within two years.
124
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.639
Let's be real, that's true. Google does have a astoundingly
125
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.000
reliable track record of discontinuing things that's killed by Google
126
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.279
dot Com. They made a whole website designated to things
127
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.600
they've killed off. So I guess that's why it made
128
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.240
more sense the more I thought about it to do
129
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:22.879
this as a live stream, because I was like, I
130
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.920
don't I'm kind of just spitballing here. I don't have
131
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.920
like a great thesis or a great skid idea as
132
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.199
to how to turn this topic into a dedicated video.
133
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.720
But if I'm thinking out loud, if people were curious
134
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.720
of what I thought of the whole Android XR thing,
135
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.000
because you know, it is rare for Google to launch
136
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.360
a brand new operating system. But I do remember Google
137
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.000
Daydream way back in the early pixel days. That's when
138
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.759
they were still pitching the idea of like sliding your
139
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.519
phone into a little headset and then the phone would
140
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.480
give you a three sixty degree environment. It was cute,
141
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.399
it was kind of gimmicky, but it didn't go anywhere. Obviously.
142
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.399
They killed it just a couple of years later. So yeah,
143
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.079
oh well, Microsoft hullolens. Oh yeah, what did that run?
144
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.000
Some kind of Windows thing? It definitely wasn't running Horizon
145
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.720
os though, that's for sure. But I should try to
146
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.120
answer Nicholas's question before it in case he has to go.
147
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.519
But yeah, I have it queued up here. It's kind
148
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.519
of it relates to Google and Apple as well, so
149
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:30.040
it's somewhat on topic. But he said I can pull
150
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.279
this up here. Actually boom there it is. What is
151
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.440
it about Google in particular that keeps Apple relying on
152
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.720
them for the search engine for Safari? I know there's
153
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.320
been rumors in the past of them working on their
154
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.919
own search engine competitor. Do you think it would be
155
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.320
something worthwhile for them to go into. Obviously, would hope
156
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.240
this would be at least five years away, because even
157
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.440
though AI has caused Siri to become more advanced. Would
158
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.480
also love to see not just a search engine, but
159
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.120
even a chatbot directly built from the ground up, not
160
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.039
based on the acquired model of Siri. We definitely n
161
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.919
app need Apple to take their time with something like
162
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.519
this and not let it be reshed like the first
163
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.679
set of features from Apple Intelligence. We'd love to hear
164
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.919
your discussion on this section of Maisture because Apple is
165
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.919
late to the party when it comes to AI. We
166
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.080
are seeing Unapple like things with them holding the partnership
167
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.360
with CHETTBT and with them even wanting to include Gemini
168
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.360
is a choice for their AI model, which really wish
169
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.440
Apple would have waited longer, even though they couldn't because
170
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.519
of shareholder purposes. That way, they actually had time to
171
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.519
build their own AI model. I understand Google pays Apple
172
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.519
a nice chunk of change the Airgal, there's your answer
173
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.720
to remain the default search engine choice for Safari. But
174
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.360
with Apple US government excuse me practices of saying both
175
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.600
Google and Apple hold some sort of monopolistic practices in
176
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.440
some way, it feels like a matter of time before
177
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.360
this gets broken up. All right, thanks for the big question, Nicholas,
178
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.480
that's a fun one. Yeah, well, I think you kind
179
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.960
of answered it in that second seconment. There's only one thing,
180
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.360
one thing that Apple likes more than control. Right. Apple
181
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.639
loves to control what's on your phone. They love to
182
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.879
control the rollout of the narrative or the naming, the branding.
183
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.519
They love having all that control. But there's one thing
184
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.559
that they love more money. Money's the only thing Apple
185
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.039
loves more than control. So yeah, Apple probably could have
186
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.919
developed their own search engine, but instead they're using Google
187
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:27.440
as the default, and Google pays them billions and billions
188
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.559
and billions of dollars to remain the default search engine
189
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.840
on iOS, so Apple developing their own search engine would
190
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.919
cost money and time in software attention, which is pretty
191
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.720
much all their software developers are all hands on deck
192
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.639
when it comes to iOS eighteen features. In case you
193
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.279
didn't catch the news, it sounds like there are features
194
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.480
for iOS nineteen that are being delayed because of how
195
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.480
much time iOS eighteen features are taking. Like they rushed
196
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:02.159
Apple Intelligence and it shows I'm running eight Oh my god,
197
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.480
it is bad. Holy crap. I had low expectations for
198
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.519
Apple Intelligence, but geez I did not think it would
199
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:16.879
get Does this look like me? Really? This is it?
200
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.840
This is what you were hyping up all this time. Seriously, like,
201
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.519
let me try another one and me put me in there? Oh?
202
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.679
Why am I giv me overalls? Look at this? The
203
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.080
eyes are always messed up? Are my eyebags that bad?
204
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.960
They swear like every photo they give me these massive eyebags. Eh,
205
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:45.399
look at the Oh, oh my god, there's no pupils
206
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:51.360
on these. It's just blue. It's disturbing. Oh and my
207
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.559
teeth are red. I oh my god, it's disturbing. But
208
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.399
all of this is delaying iOS nineteen features because of
209
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.039
how forced they are with Apple Intelligence. So basically, I'm
210
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.960
saying Apple doesn't have a lot of spare software engineers
211
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.799
sitting around with nothing to do. They're pushing them around
212
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.399
the clock to get AI features ready. Developing their own
213
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.879
search engine would definitely take away more time and it
214
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.720
would cost them more money. Either they'd have to hire
215
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.720
more people or take people off certain projects, or they
216
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.200
could do nothing and make billions of dollars from Google.
217
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.200
And the second they decide they want to use their
218
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.679
own search engine, they immediately lose ten or twenty billion
219
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.799
dollars annually because that's a check Google's willing to write.
220
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:42.480
So I know you kind of acknowledge that in your question,
221
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.440
but I'm just trying to double down on No, that's
222
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.960
a really big deal. Is they make a lot of
223
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.159
money by doing nothing. And if you're a company that's
224
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.960
already pushed for time, pushed for resources, you're not going
225
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.639
to be You're not going to be looking at ways
226
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.759
to you know, like the Apple search engine basically would
227
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.919
have to generate ten billion dollars a year for them
228
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.840
to break even and make nothing, because right now Google
229
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.279
is incentivizing them to do nothing. If a monopoly, if
230
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.480
the federal government gets involved and says that, hey, you
231
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.639
guys are too close or you're partnering too much, you
232
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.799
need to be more competitive with your search engines, then yeah,
233
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.080
Apple will probably have no choice. But that hasn't happened yet.
234
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:29.279
So ugh, it's a horrible version of me. I don't know.
235
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:34.039
I've played with image generators before, but Apple's is not good.
236
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.159
I'm sorry, it's just not I'm not impressed at all
237
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.639
by any of the AI features that they've given me.
238
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.519
The answers are messy, they're not concise, and it goes
239
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.480
away easily, and it doesn't know basic things. Still, so
240
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:55.039
I'm not happy at all with the rollout with the
241
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.039
iPhone seventeen. Save Apple. Apple doesn't need to be saved.
242
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.200
They make so much money as is. I actually think
243
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.759
they'll be perfectly fine even if they barely touch the
244
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.600
iPhone every year, just because the iPhone is such an
245
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.000
absurdly large and popular product segment that there will be
246
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.879
people every couple of years willing to buy the latest iPhone,
247
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.519
regardless of how good it is, simply because they want
248
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.759
to buy a new phone because their old one isn't
249
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.320
working as well. So there are people that are just
250
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.360
in that rhythm of oh, yeah, I guess I need
251
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.360
to upgrade my iPhone again because my current one's getting
252
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.440
old or full of storage, or the battery is bad.
253
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.559
And people don't want to go through replacing a battery
254
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.279
or offloading files. They just want to buy a new
255
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.600
phone with more storage. I've I've come across people like
256
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:41.159
that all the time. So yeah, I don't think Apple
257
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.200
needs to be saved. But yeah, iPhone seventeen is going
258
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.440
to be an interesting lineup, that's for sure. I think
259
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.639
they should just move back to stainless steel. But mad
260
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.080
if that is even possible for seventeen pro, why do
261
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.360
you want the phone to be so heavy? Is my question?
262
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.840
Steel is like the heaviest possible material. What's wrong with aluminum?
263
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.840
You can scratch and ding up stainless steel just as
264
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.159
easily as aluminum. In fact, you can be much much
265
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:14.039
more finger printing. I guess, let's see, Tony says a
266
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.600
huge fan, thank you for getting me into Apple. Oh
267
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.000
you're welcome. Welcome to the madness, the Madhouse of Apple Sheepdom.
268
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.919
Do I think Samsung will plagiarize the vision pro. They've
269
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.320
plagiarized Apple with the Galaxy Watch Ultra probably, I mean,
270
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.240
that's that's One good detail to note from Android XR
271
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.720
is that it seems to be optimized for eye tracking
272
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.519
and hand tracking, and it lets you run apps as
273
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.320
little tiles that you can position and move around the room.
274
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:47.039
So from the demos I've seen of Android XR, does
275
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.559
it seem like there's a lot of major differences between
276
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.879
it and vision os. It's kind of the same thing.
277
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.200
It's just Google's take on it, which I don't think
278
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.000
is bad. Apple copies things from Google all the time too,
279
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.320
But yeah, that's about it. If things are not consistent
280
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.720
in the tech field. Regarding US monopolies, this is something
281
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.320
you theoretically see the US calling out Apple and Google
282
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:13.559
for the search engine practices. This is something it's possible.
283
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.919
I mean, the EU government moves faster than the US government.
284
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.279
It kind of depends on who's in office. I don't
285
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.080
really think that the next president has said that he's
286
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:30.919
very concerned with Apple being too powerful. He's just all
287
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.840
about America. As long as it's an American company, we're good.
288
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.320
But remember those two Apple executives laughing with each other
289
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.919
when asked in an interview about their AI developments. They
290
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.039
were acting like they had something big behind the scenes.
291
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.320
Maybe they were high. I still don't know exactly why
292
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:51.639
they were laughing. My guess is that it was the
293
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.559
way the question was asked. People were like, you know,
294
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.960
open ai has made a lot of progress, or chat
295
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.919
GPT is getting really good. Do you feel like you're
296
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:03.399
falling behind? And maybe the Apple executives were laughing because
297
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.240
they're like, we're gonna have chat GPT integration at the
298
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:12.680
system level. So technically that's a short cut solution, so
299
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.119
Apple doesn't have to develop AI that's substantially better than
300
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:20.319
Chat to BT because they just have chat TOBT anyway.
301
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:24.079
So any advancements that happen with OpenAI are basically baked
302
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.599
in with Siri anyway. But it is kind of sloppy.
303
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.599
It is kind of lazy. I agree. Is it true
304
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.720
that even with the case, the new iPhone still wobble.
305
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:39.359
Here's a case you notice there's a bump on it.
306
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.240
It's pretty hard to find a case these days. I'm
307
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.119
sure they exist, but it's pretty hard to find a
308
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.720
case that is so thick I mean, I'm using a
309
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:51.359
Taurus case right now, but this case is not extremely thin,
310
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.960
but you still have these little bumps that go around
311
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.640
the cameras. It's hard to find a case that is
312
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.759
so thick that there's no little protrusion around the camera bump,
313
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.279
which means if you lay flat on a table, it's
314
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.680
still very much wobbles. But thankfully I get around that
315
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.759
with the kickstand. So most of the time my phone,
316
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.119
if it's on a desk, is you know, like this.
317
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.960
It's propped up so that face ID keeps working and
318
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.720
that I can see everything. So ever since I started
319
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.079
using a case, it's rarely sitting flat on a desk
320
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.599
like this. But Apple hopefully makes a cheaper headset this
321
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.799
next year, that would be great, but none of the
322
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.480
rumors are supporting that. Pretty much all the leaks and
323
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:39.480
rumors right now are suggesting that there will be a
324
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.880
new spec bump version of the Apple Vision Pro at
325
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.960
the end of next year. But we're not going to
326
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.920
get a cheaper headset or an iPhone powered pair of
327
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.160
glasses until twenty twenty six, So who knows, twenty twenty
328
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.240
five might be a sleeper year. I have not tried
329
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.279
visual intelligence yet, but I've used Google lens. There's not
330
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.160
a lot of situations where I need to do that,
331
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.880
but I guess I could try. They said that when
332
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:06.920
I booted up my phone, they were like, just click
333
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:14.240
this button to activate visual intelligence. Oh there it is, Okay,
334
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:25.319
let's do it. What is this microphone? H ASK or
335
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:35.920
search tapping chat ask CHATCHPT for information? Okay, asking chat GPT.
336
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:42.920
Right there? A shotgun microphone, known for its directional sound
337
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:47.000
capturing ability, is mounted on a tripod for stability. These
338
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.920
microphones are commonly used in film and television production to
339
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:57.799
isolate the subject's audio. Wow, amazing. Uh, here might be
340
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.440
a fun one. I got little three D printed cyber
341
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:10.480
truck on my desk. I'll just ask about it. Ask.
342
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.440
Let's see what it knows. The model of the Tesla
343
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.559
cyber truck, down for its distinctive angular design, replicates the
344
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:27.680
electric vehicle's futuristic look. Yep, I don't it's it's right.
345
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:35.680
It's kind of like Google lens. But uh ooh, ridge wallet,
346
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.319
Why don't I I'll use the search functionality on this one,
347
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:45.680
that's right. Search is Google for similar images? Have you
348
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:53.960
heard of this? It's literally just Google lens. Okay, continue,
349
00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:00.720
Oh it lists eBay fifty dollars on eBay and on Amazon.
350
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:13.119
Oh that's not the Ridge Wait, these are knockoffs Shelby Wow. Okay, yeah,
351
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:18.240
these are all like alternate wallets. It's not the Ridge wallet. Okay,
352
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:24.960
great job. I don't know. Is this something you guys
353
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.920
see yourself using all the time? What do I think
354
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.000
the price of the Google Samsung heads that will be
355
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.319
knowing Samsung and Google, probably less, probably less than a
356
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.000
Vision Pro, but I'm guessing still over two grand, probably
357
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:43.880
around two grand? You, right, wallet? I don't know. I
358
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.200
don't know. I saw like eight different brands when I
359
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.079
looked it up. But yeah, it's just not a feature.
360
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:51.279
I'm trying to think of the example of when I
361
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.759
would do that. Maybe if I'm at a grocery store,
362
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.559
I would use visual intelligence to look up if I
363
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.880
could get something cheap or elsewhere. It's just gonna link
364
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:06.039
TMU every time you look at up. I'm doing well, Visualizer.
365
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.079
Thanks for asking. I'm very busy. There's a lot going
366
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.200
on right now, but it's all good things. It's just
367
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.119
so many things all at once. iPhone upgrades haven't been
368
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.160
that exciting. And if it wasn't for Taurus, you wouldn't
369
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.200
have upgraded this year. Any early thoughts to upgrade in
370
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:26.720
twenty twenty five, No, no early thoughts. I'm thinking more
371
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.079
about other people in my life, like my mom in particular,
372
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.400
has expressed to me several times that she wants a
373
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.920
lighter phone, but she wants a big screen. She doesn't
374
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.359
want to get a smaller screen, but she hates how
375
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.039
heavy her thirteen Promax is. So I think about the
376
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.240
iPhone seventeen air the slim one, and I'm like, Eh,
377
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.279
maybe that would be good for her, but I know
378
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.799
she doesn't want to spend one thousand dollars on it,
379
00:22:51.880 --> 00:23:00.000
So I don't know. I I the camera bump getting
380
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.559
redesigned is somewhat interesting to me, but I don't think
381
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:05.559
that would warrant upgrading the whole phone. Over something I
382
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:08.000
haven't talked enough about. I think that would be interesting,
383
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:16.640
is the uh camera bump being redesigned not allowing for
384
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.839
spatial video That was kind of a big deal about.
385
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:22.599
Why they rearranged the lenses on the iPhone sixteen was
386
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.880
so that you could have two lenses in landscape side
387
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.039
by side to kind of replicate the human eyes, and
388
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:34.279
if we start copying the pixel camera where the lenses
389
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.400
go side to side, that technically wouldn't work anymore. Or
390
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.960
I guess all spatial videos would have to be in portrait.
391
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.160
I don't know. You gotta be pretty weak to think
392
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.799
the thirteen. Well, she's got a big case on it.
393
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.200
She's also a grandma. Okay, give my mother a break.
394
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.480
Is that crap talking my mother? Come on now, Drew
395
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.480
got on this headset news so quick. I couldn't even
396
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:01.640
watch the utie demos. I'm not sure there's been a
397
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:04.000
lot of YouTube demos. I'm pretty sure Google is just
398
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.720
teasing what they're gonna do. It's kind of a weird announcement,
399
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.880
you know they I haven't seen any hands on pictures
400
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.200
or videos with it. I'm pretty sure it's just software development.
401
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.400
And then they're teasing that there will be a dev
402
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:24.279
kit next year. Susualizer got a sixteen for mix. Wow.
403
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.079
How credible are the rumors that Johnny Serugi is on
404
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.079
the shortlist to become the Intel CEO. I don't know
405
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.039
the source, so I can't really say with much confidence
406
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.680
how accurate those are, But my guess is it's not
407
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.920
going to affect Apple all that much because the options
408
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:48.319
are either Intel offers Johnny an insane amount of money
409
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:50.559
to the point that Apple doesn't think it's worth keeping
410
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:54.480
him to try to outbit him. Intel might get faster
411
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:57.200
processors out of it, because we know Johnny Serugi has
412
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.799
been great for Apple silicon, but we know that for
413
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:05.559
marketing and brand reasons, Apple is not going to be
414
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.240
going back to Intel even if Intel had better silicon.
415
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.240
You know how embarrassing it would be for Apple to
416
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:15.400
be like, oh, yeah, we stop using Intel, but now
417
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:17.039
our silicon sucks, so we're going to go back to
418
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.799
using Intel. Right now, all of the talk from Bloomberg
419
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.319
has been about how Apple's going to start developing their
420
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:26.079
own modems and their own you know, Wi Fi and
421
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.759
Bluetooth connectivity chips. They know that most of the time
422
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.440
you get better performance and better efficiency when you design
423
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.599
everything in house, and I think Apple is hoping that
424
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:39.400
by designing their own modems and house they can get
425
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:44.839
way better battery life and lower cost. So there should
426
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.759
be all kinds of advantages to doing all that stuff internally.
427
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.720
But there's really no situation I see where even if
428
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:56.599
Intel starts doing better that Apple would go back to them,
429
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:01.359
which means it's just okaye, gonna get better. But then
430
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:03.720
they're still running Windows and I'm not switching to Windows.
431
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.519
And I think most people running Mac os don't want
432
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.240
to leave Mac os even if there's I mean, that's
433
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.319
that's what we used to be before this whole Apple
434
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.960
Silicon transition happened. The PCs almost always had better specs,
435
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.680
better performance for the money, but that wasn't the reason
436
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.160
we used Mac. We used Mac for the ecosystem and
437
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.200
for the operating system. Now we're just in this funny
438
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.880
time where it happens to be the case that Mac
439
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.640
has the better performance, it has the better battery life,
440
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.839
and it has the ecosystem and the incredible OS with
441
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.400
the great app support, and you know, especially for artists
442
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.720
or video editors or audio engineers, Mac is just like
443
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.319
so many tools to work with. I have a friend
444
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:49.680
who's getting a master's degree in audio engineering, and you know,
445
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.640
he's been a PC guy his whole life, but even
446
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.079
he started using a Mac because of all the audio
447
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:59.000
editing capabilities on it. So like it's just a you
448
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.160
kind of just buy the tool that has the software
449
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.519
for what you need. If you're buying something to do
450
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:06.839
triple a gaming, yeah, you're probably not buying a Mac.
451
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.359
But if you're buying something for video editing on the go, yeah,
452
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.480
you're probably not going to be very happy with any
453
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.960
Windows PC you find. So there's pros and cons all day.
454
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.839
We can go back and forth on but I think
455
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:27.400
ultimately the silicon has gotten good for everybody. It's gotten faster,
456
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:31.119
it's gotten better efficiency. But Apple just decided to do
457
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.400
that internally, and they're probably going to keep it that way.
458
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.359
I don't see that changing even if Johnny leaves, And
459
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.279
the alternative option is that maybe Johnny Serge is so
460
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.119
crucial to development that Apple decides out we'll just pay
461
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.480
him more so that he doesn't leave us and go
462
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.759
to Intel. But it happens in the industry all the time.
463
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:52.839
There's all kinds of people that work in one company
464
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.000
and then they get an opera from another company and
465
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.480
they go to that line. It happens. It's like me
466
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:02.440
with my job at Tello Trucks. You know, everyone thought
467
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.039
I was gonna, you know, join Aptera, but then these
468
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.160
guys I think were in need of more marketing help
469
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.559
than Aptera didn't really need marketing help. In my opinion,
470
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:16.079
they were doing great, but Tello there was like nothing
471
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.640
about them online, so I was like, yeah, you probably
472
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.759
need my help. So anyway, it was never had an
473
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.119
issue using Windows, but that was until I used a Mac.
474
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.599
Now I can't go back. I had a horrible time
475
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:30.880
with Windows. I owned a PC for many years. But
476
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.160
I Phone seventeen air needs to lead to another tourist
477
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:38.079
sponsorship for a gift for your mom d I still
478
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.000
feel weird about the whole sponsorship thing. I'll probably just
479
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:44.759
buy whatever I need in the future. I don't need
480
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.400
to do more brand deals. It's okay. I Phone Air
481
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.480
seems like the worst iPhone since the five CE. If
482
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:53.519
it's significantly worse than the regular eight hundred dollars iPhone sixteen,
483
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.839
it costs five hundred dollars more. If those rumors pin out,
484
00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.359
what's the point of the product? Makes no sense. I
485
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.839
really have a hard time understanding it. I have to
486
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.359
believe that some of the rumors are wrong. Like I
487
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:06.680
just I have a really hard time believing that they're
488
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.160
ditching stereo speakers. They've had stereo speakers on the iPhone
489
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:15.240
for over eight years now. The idea that they would
490
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.160
ditch that for the sake of thickness. It's so difficult
491
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.599
to wrap my brain around. It would make so much
492
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:22.400
more sense if it turned out that they were making
493
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.839
a folding phone, then I would go, Okay, I get it.
494
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.680
There's some compromise hardware, but the phone folds in half. Okay.
495
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.200
I took your recommendation and watched trying it. I loved it.
496
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.680
Have I seen season four yet? Yeah? I think we did.
497
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:39.440
It wasn't It wasn't my favorite season, but it was
498
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.000
pretty good. I, as an Apple Card customer, am getting
499
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:48.480
a free three months of Apple TV Plus, but I
500
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.000
haven't redeemed it yet, so the three months haven't started yet.
501
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.480
My favorite show on Apple tv Plus was by far
502
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.640
a severance. But I like to remind people I have
503
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.799
not paid a penny for Apple TV Plus, just products,
504
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.400
reviewing them and trying them out, and free promos. By
505
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.359
being an Apple Card user, everything I've watched on Apple
506
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.920
tv Plus has been totally free. Never paid a dime
507
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.319
for the service. And there was another promo that was like, hey,
508
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.680
you want a free three months of TV Plus and
509
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:17.839
I was like, sure, so I have the link open.
510
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.319
I can even prove it to you. I have the
511
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:28.119
link open in my browser here yep for the Apple card.
512
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:32.000
I've not closed this tab. Get up to three months
513
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:38.359
of Apple TV Plus and the offer expires January thirty first,
514
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.160
So I'm waiting until like the end of January to
515
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:47.079
redeem so that I can hopefully watch all or most
516
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.920
of seven season two for free with this promo. That's
517
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.519
the goal. But glad you liked Try And It's a
518
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.920
really fun show. I liked it too. Let's see Samsung
519
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:01.200
is releasing an S tooe if I've slimmed to compete
520
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.640
with the seventeen years. It's funny how they can do that, right.
521
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:05.400
They find out about the leaks and then they want
522
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.960
to beat them to the punch before it even comes out.
523
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:15.599
I recently friend who has an iPhone Mini, and wow,
524
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.519
it's so comfortable in light. I use a thirteen per
525
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.200
max for the screen and battery, but it makes me
526
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.880
rethink if it's worth it. You can always just hold
527
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.880
the phone a little closer, but it's probably bad for
528
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.880
your eyesight, which is other news. You may have seen
529
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.759
me using these glasses in skits lately. These are my
530
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.920
own glasses, by the way, for the first time, just
531
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.119
a few days ago, I finally went to the eye doctor.
532
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.000
I finally did an eye test, and now I can
533
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.839
see all these amazing things. I can see speed limit
534
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:48.839
signs and stop signs. It's incredible. But it's mostly good
535
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:50.839
for seeing things that are far away, so I rarely
536
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.559
use it at my desk because my monitors are all
537
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.759
relatively close so that I can see all this pretty easily.
538
00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.480
But when I'm out and about, if I'm in public,
539
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.799
or or if you know, I'm away from the house,
540
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.480
I'm pretty much always wearing these. It's nice though. It's
541
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.200
like I didn't realize how sharp my TV was until
542
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.039
I got these glasses on. It's great. So I'm a
543
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:14.640
new time glasses wear, never been in glasses wear, never
544
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.559
had contacts. But there was a really really good deal
545
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:23.359
going on at my local optalmologists place. Eighty bucks for
546
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.559
the prescription and two pairs of glasses eighty bucks, so
547
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.599
I thought that was a pretty good deal. I have
548
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.440
another pair that looks a lot more like Tim Cook's glasses,
549
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.480
but they're not ready yet. I have to well, I
550
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:36.240
think they're ready, I just have to go pick them up.
551
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.920
But they weren't ready on the day that I took
552
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.519
the test. Thank you, Mike. I'm glad you like them.
553
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.720
Apple should go after Intel if they poached Johnny SERGEI
554
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.119
going to Intel that if he gives away Apples chip secrets.
555
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:50.440
Masamo apparently got away with the same stuff for Apple,
556
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:54.440
allegedly suing them. I wonder how many secrets there are,
557
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.839
you know, like TSMC is the one manufacturing Apple silicon,
558
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.480
and you can, of course tear down the silicon. You know,
559
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:05.200
it's everywhere. I have the three and nanimeter chip design
560
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:07.480
right here. I'm sure Google has a team that can
561
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.960
tear apart an iPhone and hold it under a microscope
562
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.160
and look at how it's engineer. I wonder how many
563
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.880
secrets there really are to designing powerful silicon and all that.
564
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.279
But I don't know. I wonder how much of the
565
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.920
genius really comes down to being a head engineer or
566
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.759
is it just come down to, you know, the right
567
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.839
contracts and signing the right supply agreements with the chip manufacturers.
568
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.359
That's sometimes what I wonder. I had a lot of
569
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.319
cases for my fourteen per max, and I'm only going
570
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.839
to stick with one for my sixteen per MAC. Honestly,
571
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.240
the more cases I get for a phone, the more
572
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.720
I want to keep it, because then I know that
573
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:49.599
if I get rid of this phone, I'm gonna have
574
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:51.279
a bunch of cases that I don't have anything to
575
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.599
do with it. I ask for one case from Taurus,
576
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.160
and they sent me freaking three different cases. I've only
577
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.759
used this one because I like the white accent of it,
578
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:02.480
but they sent me a gray one and a black
579
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.279
one that I still have mint in the box. Any
580
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.880
updates on the lawsuit that company went after Apple for
581
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:12.199
the blood oxygen sensor. Not really, no, I mean I
582
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.039
think Apple countersued them in won. They got like two
583
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.039
hundred dollars or something. It was some abysmal amount. That
584
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:21.159
was like, yeah, it's clearly not for the money that
585
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.360
Apple was just trying to prove a point that like, hey,
586
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.760
you say we stole something, but we're saying you stole something,
587
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.079
so who really? You know, who cares? You know? I
588
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.440
think they were just trying to confuse the court. But ooh,
589
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.559
Skylar's getting a new Model three this Saturday. Congrats. Wow,
590
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:41.440
that's exciting. That's that's the best card in the world.
591
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:43.760
I just did a video on that car today. It's
592
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.480
not uploaded yet. But I'm doing like a Model three
593
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.639
celebratory kind of video. I don't know when it'll be up.
594
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.599
I've got so many things going on. I'm not going
595
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.440
to be home at all tomorrow. I'm just driving NonStop.
596
00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:00.800
But AnyWho I might be. I think that colors it
597
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:03.360
look good in store an So yeah, there's not really
598
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:10.639
many updates, but that's it for those who don't know,
599
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.039
I think you just bought the best car in the world,
600
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:20.119
Skyler's That's why I'm like shook. But no, I actually
601
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.480
I'm treating this phone a lot differently. I know that
602
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:26.880
in the past people probably just assume, well, Drew's the
603
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:28.639
Apple Sheep, so of course he wants the latest and
604
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:32.920
greatest iPhone. I really am quite disappointed with the sixteen promacs.
605
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:37.000
If you're right with what Nicholas said earlier. If it
606
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.320
weren't for Taurus, I definitely wouldn't have kept it. This
607
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.679
is absolutely the kind of phone that I would have
608
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.159
tried and gone. This isn't very different. I'm going to
609
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:50.000
go back. Tesla phone isn't likely, but it is a possibility.
610
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:54.079
Elon likes to do crazy things, and if Elon starts,
611
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.519
I don't know, breaking some kind of terms and conditions
612
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.760
on the iOS app Store if he it's blocked from
613
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.639
the Google Play Store or the iOS App Store. Elon
614
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:06.159
has said that he would be interested in making his
615
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.400
own phone, which, for the record, I think he would
616
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.280
do a terrible job. I don't think Elon would make
617
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.880
a great phone, but I really want him to do
618
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.159
it because I think he would learn along the way
619
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.360
I've seen. I've followed Elon because i'm you know, and
620
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:25.440
I'm also an ev YouTuber, so I have to kind
621
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.000
of follow a lot of what he says, which is
622
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.760
frustrating because he says a lot and a lot of it.
623
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.639
I don't like most of it. I don't like these days.
624
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:39.440
But AnyWho, I've seen the way he complains about really
625
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:42.960
basic things on his iPhone, and he's threatened to switch
626
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.079
to Android several times because he doesn't like something about
627
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.000
his iPhone, and I'm like, boy, Elon, you wouldn't last
628
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.519
ten hours on an Android phone. I'd love to see
629
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.599
him try to switch to Android. It would be hilarious.
630
00:36:54.639 --> 00:37:02.719
He would be complaining left and right, but him deciding
631
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.119
that he needs to hire his own team or buy
632
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.239
out an existing phone manufacturer and build an entire operating
633
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:11.039
system from the ground up. I get the impression, based
634
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.320
on his interviews and his commentary, that he doesn't think
635
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.400
it's a big deal. He's kind of talked down to
636
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:18.880
Apple in the past and said like, oh, you don't
637
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.119
do anything that complicated, or your line of work is easy,
638
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.440
like I do rockets, that I do cars, and that's
639
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.159
way more hard and way more difficult than phones. And
640
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.800
I get the impression that he doesn't understand how difficult
641
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:33.599
it really would be to compete in that space. He's
642
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:37.119
got a lot of brand power, that's for sure, but
643
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.480
oh the software and the bugginess of it, and the cameras,
644
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:43.480
just everything about it would probably suck, and it would
645
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.480
make for really really interesting content for these kinds of channels.
646
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:50.679
Marquez would have a field day with that one, because
647
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:56.039
these days we just have the most boring, safe, uneventful
648
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:59.480
smartphone releases every year, you know, like the biggest change
649
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:03.559
for next is just you know, the iPhone is thinner
650
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:09.119
than ever before. It's didn't know, it's a boring phone,
651
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:11.400
but it does everything well. It doesn't really have many downsides.
652
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:13.920
I guess that's true, but that's also true of the
653
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.800
iPhone fifteen series. That's also true of the iPhone thirteen series.
654
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:19.960
I think you could probably be perfectly happy with an
655
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:24.039
iPhone thirteen if you're rocking an iPhone sixteen. I mean,
656
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:26.079
I like USBC. That's a big deal to me, but
657
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:30.000
it's not a big deal to everybody. Everyday consumers don't
658
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:40.639
really care. But I'm getting a text from my wife. Sorry,
659
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.960
we're just last second plans here. My point is it's
660
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.239
a lot of money, and my expectations were set unrealistically
661
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.800
high because Apple said that the microphones had been substantially improved,
662
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.519
that they were studio grade on the iPhone sixteen, and
663
00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:58.760
oh my god, they are not. They are barely different
664
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.719
from the iPhone fifteen, and it's a joke and an
665
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.280
embarrassment that they considered them even relatively studio grade. They
666
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.159
sound almost identical to the iPhone fifteen series. I've compared
667
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.960
the two AI is heading into being the main upgrade,
668
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.159
which isn't even that good. Apparently there's also going to
669
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:23.400
be a selling point for the seventeen Pro Max. Yeah.
670
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.400
I never used this button. This button was a complete
671
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:31.119
waste of time and money in my opinion, and I
672
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.480
was hoping that the thermals would be better. But my
673
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:37.239
phone can still get really really hot. It can still
674
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:42.480
drain the battery really quickly if it's doing the right thing. Yeah,
675
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.639
the microphones weren't as good as I was anticipating. The cameras,
676
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:48.079
even the forty eight megapixel ultra wide is still soft.
677
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.519
I've been complaining about that since the iPhone eleven, five
678
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.119
years later. It's still an issue. I want the ultra
679
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.159
wide lens to be just as sharp as the main lens,
680
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:59.199
and it never is, so it just feels like compromised.
681
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.599
I wouldn't recomm to anybody if you want a big
682
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:06.960
USPC phone, just get a fifteen. Like it's fine, you
683
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.599
don't need a sixteen. But those fake YouTube channels are
684
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:14.719
not going to meme the Tesla phone into existence. I
685
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.360
don't know. We kind of memed Elon into buying Twitter.
686
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:18.960
That was a meme for a while and then it
687
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.679
actually happened. Elon is kind of the crazy loose cannon
688
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.760
that is willing to do stuff like that, and he
689
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:27.559
has the money to do it. You know, starting up
690
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.079
a smartphone company is not that expensive, but it is
691
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:34.920
very difficult to get right. Amazon couldn't do it. Microsoft
692
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.559
couldn't do it. Google struggled to do it for many years.
693
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:41.360
Now they're finally starting to find a groove. But I
694
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.400
would just love to see Elon try because I think
695
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.239
it would be entertaining. I don't think the phone would
696
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:47.159
be actually that good, but I think it would be
697
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.679
fun to watch Elon say like, yeah, we're going to
698
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:55.039
make our own phone. It's going to be amazing. I
699
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.159
just want to see him try. But your update on
700
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.760
Tesla prices revamped, rebate, possibility of the federal tax credit
701
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.159
going away pushed me over the edge. I hear you,
702
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.039
I hear you. Good call. Does mag Safe work with
703
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:11.159
this ring behind the case? It does? Yeah? I use
704
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:15.760
it all the time. Where's my my wireless chargers back there?
705
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:18.039
But yeah, you can. You can slap mag Safe on
706
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:20.519
the back, or you can prop it up like this
707
00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:22.760
and then have a mag Safe puck snap on the back.
708
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:24.639
It's not as strong, but it does still charge it.
709
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.320
I just got a sixteen Pro Max and I'm happy
710
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.119
with it, but it keeps overheating and I'm not impressed
711
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:31.639
with the battery life. I would have waited for next
712
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:34.639
year if I didn't break my last phone. I hear you, Patrick,
713
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.159
I definitely hear you. I feel like they should have
714
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.960
had a vapor chamber by now. They need something to
715
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.400
help with the thermals because it's just not cutting it.
716
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.840
But I like my sixteen pro coming from a three
717
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:48.880
year old iPhone, not a huge upgrade. I agree, it's
718
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.400
most people I've heard that it's just been like, eh, meh,
719
00:41:52.880 --> 00:42:00.559
It's like they could have done so much more. But sorry,
720
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:03.840
just responding to my wife real quick. And none of
721
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:06.239
the AI features they hyped up AI like it was
722
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:13.719
the second coming of Steve Jobs and all of it,
723
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.159
all of it has been disappointing. The writing tools aren't
724
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:18.920
that good. The new series isn't that good. Image playgrounds
725
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:23.000
isn't good. The chat GPT integration isn't that impressive. To me,
726
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:28.079
just visual intelligence, it's just an Apple skin of Google lens.
727
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.280
Like I thought that in this era of AI, Apple
728
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.679
was going to find a way to make it down
729
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:39.000
down to earth and easy to understand and AI for everybody,
730
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:40.360
you know. I thought they were going to find a
731
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:42.639
way to make it more approachable, and they just didn't.
732
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.440
They Really, what Apple proved to me is that AI
733
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:47.800
is just a super huge gimmick and it's just the
734
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.280
latest gimmick. It was five G a couple of years ago.
735
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:53.679
Five G was the overhyped marketing term that they made
736
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:55.159
it sound like it was a big deal, and it
737
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:58.679
really wasn't. AI is just the next version of that.
738
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:01.039
Soon we're going to have a to combine that. We're
739
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:08.400
combining AI with five G, introducing five AGI. I genuinely
740
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.639
think Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave after sitting
741
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.159
Apple Intelligence. That is literally impossible. He is super dead.
742
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:19.280
But no, I get what you mean. It's not really
743
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:23.280
something that feels like Steve at all. But there's a
744
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:25.639
lot of things Apple has done since then that is
745
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:30.840
not very Steve like. That is also good, the diversification
746
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.360
of models and all that, and the more affordable models.
747
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:36.360
He was never that into that. But to be fair,
748
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:42.039
keep in mind, doing what Steve would want would be
749
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:46.320
a paradox. Ironically, doing what Steve Jobs would do is
750
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:50.159
not what he wanted. That's what he told Tim Cook
751
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.119
as he was stepping down as CEO, because he knew
752
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:57.760
his time was limited. He said, Tim, don't do what
753
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:01.880
I would do. He was smart enough to know that
754
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:04.239
it was probably a bad idea for the company to
755
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.960
be run as if Steve was still alive. Let's try
756
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:09.800
to run it like he's still here, and let's try
757
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:12.159
to do what Steve would do. Do what Steve would do.
758
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:17.320
They knew that was a bad idea, so they didn't
759
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.719
do that. If AI is okay, it's just not good
760
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.960
enough to be a whole selling feature for every product. Really. Yeah,
761
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.519
I agree. The math notes is cool, but that's technically
762
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:33.679
not generative AI. That's available on iPhones and older iPhones
763
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.360
and older iPads. It's not part of the Apple Intelligence
764
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.840
feature suite, so it might use some neural cores, but
765
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.679
it's not what Apple brands as Apple Intelligence. It's just
766
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:45.360
another feature. Ironically, though, that feature is way cooler than
767
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:49.920
pretty much any Apple Intelligence feature. Nice to be keeping
768
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:51.800
my current phone, but the context as to why I'm
769
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.960
upgrading makes much more sense so that you do. I'm
770
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.039
gonna repurpose my current one. I see. Apple AI is mid.
771
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:01.960
I agree. I don't even know if i'd call it mid.
772
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:04.440
It's kind of below mid to me. It just there's
773
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:06.440
not a single I don't even really like the new
774
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:11.320
mail redesign. The notification summaries are not that helpful. I
775
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:14.559
don't trust them. They always are overly simplistic, And then
776
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.280
I opened the text and I'm like, okay, yeah, I
777
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:20.360
missed crucial detail there. So even stuff like that I'm
778
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:25.119
not using. Apple didn't have the initiative with AI and
779
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:26.960
had to implement features in a short amount of time,
780
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.039
so their usual strategy of waiting to rEFInd things on
781
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:32.760
their own couldn't work. It's that, but I mean Nicholas
782
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:35.360
let the com brought that up in his pre stream
783
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:41.719
question as well. AI is not the kind of feature
784
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:44.679
that I actually believe would have been much better if
785
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:48.800
they took their time on AI. The way it's designed,
786
00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:52.480
it's kind of dependent on lots and lots of data
787
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:56.119
and lots and lots of training that goes into it.
788
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.519
So that's why you're able to see companies like open
789
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:03.400
Ai with chat rept I mean, I don't even think
790
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:06.559
they're that great, but grow so rapidly. They get so
791
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.760
much attention. Same thing with Google's Gemini. They're able to
792
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:12.360
train their models really quickly because they put them in
793
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.159
beta and they deploy them at scale, so they have
794
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.760
lots and lots of sampling. There's only so much internal
795
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:26.679
data training you can do because you can only have
796
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:30.400
so many employees to help train your machine learning algorithms
797
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.719
or your large language models. So keeping it internal and
798
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:35.440
just saying okay, we're not going to release any of
799
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:38.000
this until next year, I don't think it would train
800
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.639
as fast and I don't think it would learn as
801
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:47.320
quickly as the public release ones like Gemini or Chattept
802
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:49.920
or whatever. So it's kind of one of those weird
803
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:53.079
situations where, you know, the same topic comes up with
804
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:55.960
Tesla's full self driving people are like, well, why don't
805
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.559
they just test all of that internally, And it's because, well,
806
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.679
the performance of the self driving software can only really
807
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:05.320
be as good as the amount of data you collect.
808
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:07.880
So you could pay a bunch of engineers to drive
809
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.840
it around, or you can have your customers drive it
810
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:14.000
around and make them pay attention, let them know that
811
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:19.079
it's not autonomous yet, and get probably a thousand or
812
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.880
two thousand times as much data, and that will train
813
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:26.760
the algorithms much faster, and then it will improve at
814
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:31.800
a much faster rate. So I don't think Apple Intelligence
815
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:33.760
is one of those things that could have been better
816
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:37.199
if they waited longer. I think they probably realized that
817
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:39.360
it isn't going to get much better until they release it,
818
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:41.440
and then it can have lots and lots of data
819
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:43.320
to train off of and hopefully get better over the
820
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.760
over the years. But wonder if Steve was around and
821
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:48.880
he truly seen the boom of the leak culture. I'm
822
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.079
wondering what he would have thought about all the technological
823
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:54.000
leaks nowadays. Would he accept that is a regular occurrence.
824
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.000
We know what happened with the iPhone four leaks. The
825
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.320
iPhone four leaks were a little different than I would
826
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:03.119
say what usually happens today. iPhone four leaks was like
827
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:07.480
there was a prototype in the wild that literally belonged
828
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:10.320
to Apple, that it was no longer in Apple's possession.
829
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.400
So Steve was very upset by that. Just the media.
830
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:21.159
Sorry AI, by the way, my wife is texting me
831
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:23.639
and I'm getting the AI responses for the predictive text.
832
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:27.159
It never understands the way I type. I almost never
833
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.800
use these little auto complete things. It's I always have
834
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.960
to write it myself, even though it's trying to write
835
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:40.840
a longer message. It doesn't get the way I talk.
836
00:48:41.079 --> 00:48:43.880
It always has these little passive, aggressive auto fill things,
837
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:45.360
and I'm like, that's not how I would write that
838
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:48.119
I've tried to use it in the past, and you know,
839
00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:50.519
my friends will be like, yeah, that's an AI generated text,
840
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:56.519
isn't it. It's like, yeah, come on. So nowadays the
841
00:48:56.639 --> 00:49:00.119
media just reports on leaks like the new iPhone, the
842
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.440
next iPhone is rumored to do this or rumored to
843
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:06.119
do that, and that's not really something Steve could do
844
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:10.280
anything about. And that kind of thing happened when he
845
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:12.679
was around two. There was rumors and leaks like that.
846
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:18.920
But he was particularly upset about the iPhone four just
847
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.480
because it was literal Apple property that was in the
848
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:27.679
hands of the media. Yeah, the closest thing to rivaling
849
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.519
the iPhone four leak was the M four MacBook Pro leak.
850
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.800
That's true. What's funny to me is that the Russians
851
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.320
got a hold of the MacBook Pro, but they didn't
852
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.519
discover that it had center stage. Somehow, we didn't know
853
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:40.719
that it had center stage until it actually come out.
854
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.800
I don't get it. How did they not discover that.
855
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.360
I feel like that would have been a breaking news story,
856
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:51.719
you know, I feel like that would have been a thing.
857
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:56.320
But anywhere. Here's what's ironic. Apple was the first to
858
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:58.679
have an AI unless he got Microsoft's Clippy. But now
859
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:04.519
they are way behind. Oh yeah, way behind. I think
860
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:09.119
they know that too. I personally think chatchabet integration makes
861
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:11.320
serri very useful, although I'm not sure why it's only
862
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:14.039
locked to the fifteen pro and sixteen Yeah, I don't.
863
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:16.880
That makes no sense to me either. If you're queuing
864
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:21.079
up a cloud based chatbot, then why does that need
865
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:25.440
eight gigs of ram I. I don't think AI is
866
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.440
a gimmick. If you want to do more precise research,
867
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:29.960
Chatchapt is better than Google because you get specific and
868
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.599
direct answers. Maybe gimmick isn't the right word, but it's
869
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:36.719
it's not as big a deal as people are making
870
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:39.119
it out to be. I guess they. In my opinion,
871
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:41.800
it does not deserve to be a headlining feature. It
872
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:45.360
should just be another software feature included in the various
873
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:49.039
iOS eighteen feature set. But they act like it's the
874
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.000
next big thing. They put it on every headline. Hello
875
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:54.800
Apple Intelligence. It's you go into the Apple stores and
876
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:58.320
the screen say Apple Intelligence is here, and it's like,
877
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.800
what did that really offer? Oh? What's the chat GPT
878
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.239
which you can already access through an app. It's just
879
00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:08.119
integrated at the system level now, but it still can't
880
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:12.079
answer very basic questions. In my opinion, it's all about
881
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.360
the money, that's true. It's all the money thing at
882
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:19.280
the end of the day. Okay, walking to a higher
883
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:24.920
storage too. Oh yeah, the higher RAM amounts are on.
884
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:33.360
The higher RAM amounts are on the higher storage here
885
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:38.559
ipit pros. Yeah. In Soviet Russia, the products share you.
886
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:43.480
I got in trouble some people we are, like Drew,
887
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:53.440
I don't like how good you are at that Russian accent. Sorry,
888
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:55.719
I'm trying to like read the chat and read this
889
00:51:55.800 --> 00:52:03.119
group chat. All the planning's going on right now. Okay,
890
00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:06.880
there's the text. Apple Intelligence is here, some of it
891
00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:08.559
at least. Yeah. That was the funny thing was the
892
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.320
demo models that said Apple Intelligence. They didn't even have
893
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:16.119
the beta software on them, so it was pretty much lying.
894
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.840
Cody says writing tools are the biggest win in my book.
895
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.480
I've tried him. I just I don't. I don't like them.
896
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.400
I don't like the way they rewrite things, and it's
897
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:29.559
not the way I would write things. And maybe I'm
898
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:31.159
in the wrong line of work. Maybe if I was
899
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:35.440
writing things way more often, I could get behind it.
900
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:39.480
But I really, I really don't get it. If it
901
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:41.480
wasn't for AI, Apple wouldn't have up to the base
902
00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:43.599
RAM the sixteen gigs. Now the sixteen gigs is the
903
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.280
new eight gigs. Okay, Dan bring them. Dan's bringing up
904
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:53.559
good points. That's probably the best uh unintended consequence of AIS.
905
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:57.800
It's forcing Apple to put more RAM on things. Thank god.
906
00:52:57.840 --> 00:52:59.800
They even up to the M three MacBook Air. They
907
00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:01.880
didn't up the chip, but they made sixteen gigs of
908
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:04.239
RAM standard. That was kind of cool. He was like, oh,
909
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:10.760
all right, that's probably more interesting. People say grammarly is
910
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:14.920
still far better. I just don't use them. I don't
911
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:18.679
know writing tools would be useful, but I forget it's there.
912
00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:22.400
That's that's exactly the bigger picture thing. It's so hard
913
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:24.559
to activate that I don't think most people are going
914
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:28.480
to know about it. Burckhardt says, writing tools is kind
915
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:32.280
of mid Yeah. I tried it a little bit, but
916
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:35.280
every time I used it, I was like, no, that's
917
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:38.800
not how I would write it. It's kind of gimmicky.
918
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:44.239
Wasn't XRS the rumored OS for Apple Vision. We're pretty
919
00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:47.639
sure that was a code name, but yeah, that was
920
00:53:48.119 --> 00:53:49.880
rumored for a while to be the name of it,
921
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:51.800
but I kept saying, there's no way they're going to
922
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:56.400
call it that. I'm pretty sure there were references in
923
00:53:56.719 --> 00:54:00.440
beta software code to xr OS, so we're pretty confident
924
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:02.760
that was the internal name. And then write at the
925
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.280
last second they reveal the actual name. And that's just
926
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:07.960
a tactic they used to kind of keep the marketing
927
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:12.360
under control and all that. Hopefully they increase based storage
928
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:16.960
to do it accommodate storing models offline. Seesh a little
929
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:21.360
luck going on. It's so hard to activate. I can't
930
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:26.360
even access bigo way too hard. It consistently makes sentences
931
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:31.199
way longer or just reuses what I wrote. Yeah, even
932
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:33.480
with the higher base RAM, the upgrade prices are even
933
00:54:33.559 --> 00:54:39.199
more insane that people. I was just thinking about that
934
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:42.960
the other day. They're like, they're charging one hundred bucks
935
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.360
more for this much RAM. It doesn't cost them that
936
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:47.679
much more, and I'm like, no, it never has. That's
937
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:50.480
never been how they priced it. They don't price it
938
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:55.360
based on how much extra the parts cost. The parts
939
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:59.559
are almost trivial. It usually costs a couple bucks to
940
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:03.360
swap a one terabyte NN versus a one twenty eight
941
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:07.639
gig nan. The point is, if you priced the specs
942
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:11.920
based on what the chip costs, then it would basically
943
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:14.159
be the same price. It would be like one thousand
944
00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:17.639
bucks for the sixteen pro and then ay and ten
945
00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:19.880
bucks for the one terabyte. Everyone would just get the
946
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.039
one terabyte. No one would get the one twenty eight gig.
947
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:26.039
The point is you spread out the profit margins so
948
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:28.840
that you have a really thin margin on the entry
949
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:31.440
level and you have a really thick margin on the
950
00:55:31.559 --> 00:55:34.239
high end, so that you have an average selling price
951
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:38.440
that balances out whatever the comfortable margin is for the product.
952
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:41.519
That's why you notice it's all companies do that. It's
953
00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:44.000
not just an Apple thing. Google does it, Samsung does it,
954
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:48.719
Microsoft does it. Any laptop you speck out, you're going
955
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:50.719
to see that, Oh, if you want more RAM or
956
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:53.679
more storage, it's going to add a couple hundred bucks. No,
957
00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:56.280
it does not cost them that much more to add it.
958
00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:58.800
But they have to spread out the margins. Otherwise everybody
959
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:01.079
would just get the highest trip. There would be no
960
00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:07.920
reason to get the lower tier. Trim grammarly is too
961
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:11.400
insistent on itself. You use this suggestion or you are doomed.
962
00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:14.000
Proofread has been solid for me for things like grammar
963
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:18.440
without overly changing my writing. Does it autocorrect? Do that?
964
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:21.159
I don't know. Rewrites his mid tier, But it's forced
965
00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:23.000
me to analyze both, and it's forced me to slow
966
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:26.199
down and through through my words. Maybe I just don't
967
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:27.880
write enough. I don't know. I've I've been writing a
968
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.199
lot of emails with my new job at Tello, and
969
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:33.000
I just every time I try the proofread thing, I'm like,
970
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:42.280
now I liked mine. Better learn something new. Oh that
971
00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:46.119
was you a plasmaker, I see. Nicholas says, have a
972
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:48.159
safe and wonderful holiday season. I will see you in
973
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:50.079
the new year. Drew, appreciate all the tech talk while
974
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:52.320
I've been still trying to seek work. You're really help
975
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.440
me getting things off my mind. Oh good, I'm happy
976
00:56:54.480 --> 00:57:01.360
to hear that. Happy to help. Yeah, it's a good
977
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:05.320
time for margin. Speaking of profit margin, I should remind
978
00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:10.360
everybody about a time margin. It's in my opinion, not
979
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:13.239
prioritized enough. We live in a culture. We live in
980
00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:18.760
a country that very much prioritizes busyness. Just like go
981
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:21.360
go go be productive, be productive, get work done, get
982
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:22.960
things done, get it done, get it, go, go go,
983
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:26.519
don't stop. And it's not good for us. It's not
984
00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:30.679
good for our mental health. And I still struggle with this,
985
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:33.840
I'll probably always struggle with it. But it's really good
986
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.480
to take some time to slow down, gather your thoughts,
987
00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:42.039
think inwardly about how you feel about how things are
988
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:45.519
going on. Are you happy? If you're not, what can
989
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:49.280
be done about it? How can you be a better friend,
990
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:53.360
how can you be a better partner, spouse, whatever it is,
991
00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:58.519
brother son, sister, whatever it is. It's just good to
992
00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:01.159
have some time in the day to think inwardly a
993
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:05.639
little bit, And especially when so much things are going on,
994
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:09.039
I often wish and I wish I had more time,
995
00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:11.480
because it's easy to be like, oh, I could be
996
00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:14.119
doing so much more. You know, I lived that way
997
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:15.679
for many years, where it was just like, oh, I
998
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:17.719
got to do more videos, I gotta have more channels,
999
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:19.679
I got to post more, I got to post more frequently.
1000
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:24.119
But it's not good for you. So I hope that
1001
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:28.480
with the streams or with the videos, hopefully it gives
1002
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.440
you a break in your everyday life, but can also
1003
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:33.320
motivate people to just slow down a little bit. Just
1004
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:37.159
like think about where you are, think about what things
1005
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:42.320
matter to you the most, I guess and the most
1006
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:44.519
common thing I think I have to remind people is
1007
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:47.719
just like you know, the world isn't all about money
1008
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.320
or things. You know, you can be happy without a
1009
00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:54.880
lot of things, without the nicest phone, without the night
1010
00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:59.159
with I'm very happy without the M four mac Minnie,
1011
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:01.119
even though I love I Am for mac Minnie, I'm
1012
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:04.679
somehow living comfortably without it. Or you know, there's I
1013
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.159
have friends that are still rocking the older iPhones and
1014
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:10.079
they're perfectly content. That applies to other things in life
1015
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:12.480
as well. Like you don't need the best car like
1016
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:19.519
Skyler is getting on Saturday, freaking Skyler. Not everybody needs
1017
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.559
the best car in the world. And you can be
1018
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:26.519
happy without the best of the best, and hopefully by
1019
00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:29.079
spending less and living more within your means, you don't
1020
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:32.920
have to be so busy in your life with either
1021
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.320
a job you don't like or a job you don't want,
1022
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:38.599
or you know, there's there's a lot of things that
1023
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:41.679
just start clicking or start making sense once you're not
1024
00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:51.239
crunching like your work hours every day. But what is
1025
00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:54.719
my favorite Apple product this year? Mineus the new airbots,
1026
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.840
bax collars, Wow, bark it he's got low standards. That
1027
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:02.440
was the best out of it everything. Geez. Yeah, And
1028
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:05.039
since this is probably the last live stream of the year,
1029
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.679
that's a great question to end. Don Barkin, thank you
1030
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:13.400
for asking. I'll probably have just go with M four
1031
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:16.800
Mac Mini, who's the first redesign to the Mac Mini
1032
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:23.239
we've had in over a decade. And there's basically, in
1033
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:26.519
my opinion, nothing wrong with it. It's affordable, it has
1034
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:30.280
great specs, sixteen gigs now standard. M four chip is
1035
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:35.400
crazy fast, the port selection is fantastic, a front facing
1036
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:39.960
headphone jack, like holy crap. And it's way way smaller
1037
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:44.920
than before. So it's just super convenient and great. Yeah,
1038
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:49.440
it's just like I can't I can't think of anything
1039
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:51.639
wrong with it. The power button's fine. I don't think
1040
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:53.760
that's a real issue. People are looking for a reason
1041
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.280
to hate it. That's that's totally fine. You don't touch
1042
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:58.440
the power button very much, and you don't want it
1043
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.079
on the outside because it could get easy bummed or whatever.
1044
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:03.480
And you can reach under it to click it whenever
1045
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:04.960
you need it, or if you really need to click
1046
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:06.599
it all the time. You can just flip it upside
1047
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.880
down and the power buttons right there, all the ports
1048
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:15.360
are still right there. I just joined the live, says Seila.
1049
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:18.280
Have you talked about the new vision Pro comfort solution
1050
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:21.239
from Resmet I got released today and sold by Apple.
1051
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.199
I saw it, but no, I didn't talk about it
1052
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:27.400
because I think the Vision Pro has a lot of problems.
1053
01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:30.360
The comfort is one of them, but it's not really
1054
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:33.119
the main one. I mean, most of you probably think
1055
01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.880
it's gonna be price, like, well, it's kind of a cheaper,
1056
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:38.239
which like, yeah, that's true. But I think the bigger problem,
1057
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:41.039
even if it was one thousand dollars, is that there's
1058
01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:43.599
just not a lot of use cases for it pretty
1059
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:45.679
much right now. All it's good at is watching movies,
1060
01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:49.480
But if you watch TV with other people like I do,
1061
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:52.519
then it's kind of a no go. It's like I
1062
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.519
had the Vision Pro and I was debating keeping it
1063
01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:57.719
because it was just the first generation and it was
1064
01:01:57.800 --> 01:01:59.800
so different and so unique, and it gave us so
1065
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:02.760
much to talk about on the Tech Channel space. But
1066
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:05.159
literally within a week I was already running in the
1067
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:07.039
situations where I didn't want to take it with me
1068
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:08.920
because I was like ah, then I got to pack it,
1069
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:10.880
then I got to set it up. Every time I
1070
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:13.320
got to put it on unlock, it appairent to my Mac.
1071
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:16.800
It was quickly becoming easier to just leave the house
1072
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:19.280
without it, and then I wouldn't use it at home,
1073
01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:21.039
so I was like, I'm getting bored with it. And
1074
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:23.320
it's not even two weeks yet, so I know for
1075
01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:25.400
sure it's going to be collecting dust in a month.
1076
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.719
So I think the use cases and the feature set
1077
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:32.320
is what needs to be addressed. That's why I didn't
1078
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:35.000
feel like talking too much about the new headstrap. Yeah,
1079
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:37.559
it looks like it's more comfortable in all but you
1080
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:40.239
still got an external battery pack and that that's going
1081
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:43.039
to limit the practicality and efficiency of it. All that,
1082
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:46.280
But what's your least liked product of the year. Mine
1083
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:51.840
is the new colors of the AirPods back. That's great, Yeah,
1084
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:55.760
m for Macviitie's MVP AirPods four was a decent runner up.
1085
01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:59.599
I'll give an honorable mention to AirPods four that they
1086
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.719
were comfortabowl, the sound quality was great, the anc was
1087
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:05.760
pretty good. I just had a couple of issues, but
1088
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:09.480
unfortunately those small issues ended up being deal breakers because
1089
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.079
it was like the bleed through was so bad that
1090
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.800
my wife could hear everything I was listening to, which
1091
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:18.519
in my opinion, defeats the point of wearing headphones, and
1092
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.960
the battery life was not great. Other than that though,
1093
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:24.960
the price, the comfort, the sound quality. If you live
1094
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:27.000
alone and you want to use AirPods, then you know,
1095
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:31.199
I suppose they're fantastic. But yeah, I really liked air
1096
01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:36.960
Pods four I did, But iPad Pro it's than I
1097
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.559
guess that's kind of cool to o led, but I
1098
01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:41.599
don't know. I wasn't impressed with it when I thought
1099
01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:44.320
I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was
1100
01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:46.480
the thinnest Apple product ever if they didn't mention that.
1101
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:48.679
When I just picked it up in the store. It
1102
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:51.239
just felt like every other iPad I'd ever held, just
1103
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:53.840
with a slightly brighter screen. That's all I really noticed.
1104
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:58.360
At the end of the day. M four products minus
1105
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:01.440
the iPad pretty solid upgrades. iPad was a missed opportunity,
1106
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:04.480
chasing thinness of a product that doesn't need it. Almost
1107
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:07.000
no difference to an M one iPad Pro outside of
1108
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:09.800
the display, which is a twelve point nine inch model,
1109
01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:11.840
which is like five hundred dollars cheaper on the refurbished.
1110
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:14.679
Isn't a huge divent. I agree, it's if you know
1111
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:17.039
what you're looking for. I guess there's a lot of differences,
1112
01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:18.960
but if you're just picking up an iPad at the
1113
01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:22.400
end of the day, really doesn't really doesn't make a
1114
01:04:22.440 --> 01:04:24.760
big impack. Yeah, I agree for most people in m one,
1115
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:28.239
iPad pro would be totally fine. Did I see the
1116
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:30.679
rumors about new Apple TV and HomePod Mini next year?
1117
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:32.800
Been waiting for a while to replace my HomePod Mini.
1118
01:04:33.159 --> 01:04:35.920
I did. I read that article, but I must admit
1119
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:41.239
it wasn't as interesting as I was hoping. Basically, all
1120
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:43.840
the articles are saying is that Apple's developing their own
1121
01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:47.039
Wi Fi connectivity chips, which we knew about for a while,
1122
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:49.880
and they said they plan on putting those new modems
1123
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.239
in the Apple TV and the HomePod Mini. So it's
1124
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:56.800
not a new design. They're not talking about putting new
1125
01:04:56.880 --> 01:04:59.760
silicon in them, although I'm sure they'll put something new
1126
01:04:59.800 --> 01:05:06.199
in but I don't know. I have some issues with
1127
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:08.199
my Apple TV, but I don't think the Wi Fi
1128
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:12.320
connectivity is a big selling point. Boy, This Apple TV
1129
01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:15.239
has Wi Fi seven Oh my god, I need one.
1130
01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:18.599
You know, I'm a nerd. Okay, don't get me wrong.
1131
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:21.920
I love the techie stuff, but sometimes it gets a
1132
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:25.599
little even. That to me is like I got the
1133
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.280
glasses on and I'm calling people nerds. How ironic is
1134
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:36.159
that the new I'm maat colors? Yeah that I'm ac
1135
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:39.519
How about that? I can't wait for the new home
1136
01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:48.400
Pod Mini colors Midnight? Oh? Brother, Yeah, I still can't
1137
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.440
believe after all these years, the HomePod Mini doesn't support Bluetooth.
1138
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:57.719
That's still insane to me, Like, really, they have the
1139
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:00.199
connectivity to do Bluetooth, and yet they just chose not
1140
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.880
to support it. It could make a great Bluetooth speaker
1141
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.360
system for my Mac, but because it's Airplay only, it's
1142
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:13.519
just the latency isn't good enough. I don't I don't
1143
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:19.199
come on drives me nuts? What do I think about
1144
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:21.480
cellular macs? Yeah, it should have happened a while ago.
1145
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:25.840
I'm confused exactly why it is taking Apple this long.
1146
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:27.679
They feel like they have to design their own in
1147
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:32.199
house modems in order for it to happen. You're buying
1148
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.880
Qualcom motems for the iPad. Why can't you buy Qualcom
1149
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:36.760
motives for the Mac. I don't get it, but sure,
1150
01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:38.360
yeah it sounds cool. I don't think I would do
1151
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:41.920
it myself. I'm totally fine just hot spotting off my phone.
1152
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:46.559
That's probably cheaper than getting a whole different cell plan
1153
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:48.719
just for my Mac. But yeah, I could see them
1154
01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:51.159
going that way. The more we're reading about the next
1155
01:06:51.320 --> 01:06:55.199
MacBook Pro, it sounds like twenty twenty six is gonna
1156
01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:59.760
be the big year. New displays, new camera cutout, no more,
1157
01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:05.960
and potentially cellular. They might not even release new macmoc
1158
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:09.079
pros in twenty twenty five now that they've dropped the
1159
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:15.920
M four MacBook pros. So there have been times, you know,
1160
01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:18.639
like the last couple of years they've done annual refreshes,
1161
01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:20.360
but then there's other times where they'll go like two
1162
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:24.440
years between a refresh. Cellular plus tandem oln on macnipros
1163
01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:27.519
my dream. Yeah, that sounds that there are rumors supporting
1164
01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:30.199
that mark, and so that that might very well happen.
1165
01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:35.800
It's possible, which is probably good. It seems like every
1166
01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:39.440
five ish years Apple tends to have a pretty noticeable
1167
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:43.000
macbupro redesign. I remember twenty sixteen was the big one
1168
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:45.639
where they switched to USBC and touch bar and the
1169
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:52.000
Butterfly keyboard. That went well, right, and then yeah, so
1170
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:54.559
that was twenty sixteen, and then twenty twenty one came around.
1171
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.119
That's when we got the Mac I'm currently using, with
1172
01:07:58.199 --> 01:08:02.119
the new microphones, the full size function keys, the Mini led,
1173
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:05.079
the Pro Motion display, and of course Apple Silicon. That
1174
01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:09.159
was a pretty big upgrade. Burkhart says they're still expected
1175
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:11.559
to do an M five spec bump in twenty twenty five.
1176
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:16.239
My only pushback on that. You're probably right, Burkhart gets
1177
01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:18.840
things right way more than I do. But here's why
1178
01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:23.720
I personally disagree with that they might leap frog a
1179
01:08:23.800 --> 01:08:27.600
year because I think it might take them a while
1180
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.239
to get the M four Ultra chip ready for the
1181
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.920
Max Studio in the Mac Pro. And I think it
1182
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:40.960
might be awkward or weird if it's summertime or potentially
1183
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.279
if there's delays the fall. If it's like October and
1184
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:49.399
they release the M four Ultra for the Max Studio
1185
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:52.279
in the Mac Pro, you think at that same event
1186
01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:54.479
they're also going to announce the M five Pro and
1187
01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:58.199
M five Max. I don't know. I feel like they
1188
01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:00.279
might be too close together. I feel like the M
1189
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:02.760
five chip might launch way too close to the M
1190
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:05.800
four Ultra, considering that the Ultra's not out now. So
1191
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:09.920
maybe I'll believe more so that they'll have the M
1192
01:09:10.039 --> 01:09:12.479
five chip in the fall if the M four Ultra
1193
01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:15.359
comes out in the spring. But I don't think that's
1194
01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:17.760
what's rumored. I'm pretty sure the rumors have just said
1195
01:09:18.039 --> 01:09:20.840
M four MacBook airs in the spring. M four Ultra
1196
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:26.319
is not until dub dub, so I could be wrong.
1197
01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:29.000
I'm wrong a lot, but that's that's my personal guess
1198
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:31.680
is they might push off the refresh a little bit
1199
01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.680
longer because it's taking a while to get the M
1200
01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:39.319
four Ultra working properly, trying to scale it's it's only
1201
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:42.439
the fastest chip Apple's ever made. I know what's the rush, right,
1202
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:48.840
But John Turnas, what are you guys talking about? What camera? Yeah,
1203
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:51.000
this is my MacBook Pro webcam. It's not great for
1204
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:52.600
some reason. I don't know if it's a low light
1205
01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:55.199
thing or it's the latest update, but it makes my
1206
01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:59.479
shirt look really noisy. The quality feels like it's gotten worse.
1207
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:04.520
I need a new MacBook. There it is, it's been decided, hopefully, Actually,
1208
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:06.239
I think. I saw some reviews saying the new M
1209
01:10:06.319 --> 01:10:09.720
four MacBook pros have noticeably better webcams. It's not just
1210
01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:14.199
center stage, like the sensor quality improved. I don't know.
1211
01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:19.520
I signed a contract with my wife that says we
1212
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:22.800
will not buy and keep a Mac until twenty twenty six.
1213
01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:25.000
That was the deal when we bought it. Because this
1214
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:27.239
was so much money. She was like, Drew, there's a
1215
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:30.439
lot of money to spend on a MacBook. So I
1216
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:32.279
don't want you to buy it and then want to
1217
01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:34.840
replace it in a year. So I said, don't worry, honey,
1218
01:10:34.960 --> 01:10:38.039
I don't plan on doing that. If I buy this,
1219
01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:40.640
I will agree and I'll sign a contract that says
1220
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.680
I will not buy another Mac and keep it until
1221
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:48.640
twenty twenty six. So that sounds like it's going to
1222
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:50.600
be the big refresh year. Maybe that's the Mac I'll
1223
01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:55.680
upgrade too. Grimman's timeline is January March for air in
1224
01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:58.279
March June for studios, so it's possible for studio to
1225
01:10:58.359 --> 01:11:02.039
be earlier than summer. I hope it is. Otherwise the
1226
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:05.600
M five is going to be way too close. It
1227
01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:07.720
just sounds like all the rumors I've read have said
1228
01:11:07.720 --> 01:11:09.199
that the M five chip is not going to be
1229
01:11:09.239 --> 01:11:12.800
a very noticeable performance increase, which is why I think
1230
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.079
it'd probably be a good time to just skip a year.
1231
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:18.199
Do you really have to release a brand new M
1232
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:21.239
series of chip every year? Is that the rhythm cadence
1233
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:24.920
that we want to set as a precedent every year?
1234
01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:28.199
M two, three, four, Like, let's let it breathe a little.
1235
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.479
The M four chip is crazy fast already, all this
1236
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:37.520
Apple intelligent stuff. I think it'd be fine if we
1237
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.880
just had M four for a couple of years for
1238
01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:42.399
getting M four MacBook errors in the start of twenty
1239
01:11:42.479 --> 01:11:45.199
twenty five, and then maybe save the M five for
1240
01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:51.720
twenty twenty six cellular MacBook with a watch, health and
1241
01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:54.119
fitness apps so that can interface that the watch would
1242
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.800
be my dream parent. Why why the watch in the
1243
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:00.159
mac what's happened? Yeah? M five is just gonna be
1244
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:04.279
another three and nanimeter bump right. Yeah, that's why I
1245
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:06.239
don't think they need to go too crazy with it.
1246
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:10.680
You know, maybe just do an M five macminie and
1247
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:13.680
on iMac and macbookare but maybe you don't need to
1248
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:19.399
do M five Pro, M five Max or something. I
1249
01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:21.640
have an M four Mini in its screams, Oh yeah, no,
1250
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:25.000
it's plenty fat. The last couple times I've tried to
1251
01:12:25.079 --> 01:12:27.520
use cotton Neuty camera, it bugs out, like it freezes
1252
01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:30.479
every ten seconds, so it's not even worth using because
1253
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:32.680
I just have to jump back to the webcam anyway.
1254
01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:35.800
So I've been kind of disappointed with cotton Neuty camera.
1255
01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:40.279
It's basically completely broken for me. If the camera freezes
1256
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.760
every thirty seconds, then it's not usable. In my opinion,
1257
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:46.720
that's too distracting. I wouldn't use that for a work meeting.
1258
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:49.359
I wouldn't use that for a live stream. I really
1259
01:12:49.359 --> 01:12:54.319
wouldn't use it for anything. It's too unreliable. I'm using
1260
01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:55.840
an m one Pro fourteen inch, but I feel like
1261
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:58.359
it's slowly turning into an Intel Mac broke. It gets
1262
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:01.800
warm quite easily, maybe because thermal pace. Yeah, I mean
1263
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:05.000
computers get hot. It's not like bad that it gets warm.
1264
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:07.840
If it starts getting slow, that you should maybe be
1265
01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:11.920
a little more concerned. But mine has not felt slower.
1266
01:13:13.119 --> 01:13:15.319
I wish Apple did actual hearing aids and not AirPod
1267
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:20.000
software features. Well, it's probably a little too specific, but
1268
01:13:22.359 --> 01:13:31.039
oh I'm behind. I probably have to wrap it up here. Guys,
1269
01:13:31.159 --> 01:13:36.159
but it's been a fun year. It was, I think,
1270
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:42.920
hard to keep up with the hype of hard to
1271
01:13:43.039 --> 01:13:47.000
keep up with the energy of Apple Vision Pro at
1272
01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:48.720
the launch of the at the start of the year,
1273
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:53.600
but the M for Mac Mini was a very pleasant surprise,
1274
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.720
and Airpod's four was pretty great as well. So good
1275
01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:01.319
on your Apple, Here's hoping for Here's hoping for a
1276
01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:04.399
good twenty twenty five. Thank you all for watching, and
1277
01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:05.920
I hope you have an excellent rest of your day.
1278
01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:07.119
Bye bye.
