Does iPhone SE Need A Plus Variant?

00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:06.080
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to Tendo's a tech
2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.919
live on YouTube. Hope you're having a fantastic day, hopefully
3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.759
a little bit more interesting than me refreshing the Apple
4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.640
newsroom page every morning super duper early because that's when
5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.000
Tim Cook has to start his day, which means we
6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.559
all have to follow him and still got nothing. There's
7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.760
still a lot of back and forth going on between
8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.920
when are the M four Max dropping and case you
9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.600
weren't a wear? It really could happen any day now.
10
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.679
It might happen tomorrow, could happen next week. I'd be
11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.240
surprised if it didn't happen though, within the next ten
12
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.759
to twelve days, because there's been a lot of reports
13
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.640
about it. They've leaked already, people got their hands on them.
14
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.000
But in case you weren't to wear, Yes, four, M
15
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.479
four Pro, and M four Max all rumored to launch
16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.920
with a new MacBook Pro lineup. Sorry for the bitrate
17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.399
tanking so bad. It was doing so great, it was
18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.119
going so well right until I go live. Let me
19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.079
close a few background things. See if that helps. Um, yeah,
20
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.760
we'll close that. We'll close. I guess we could close that.
21
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.040
Sorry for the pixelation. This stream brought to you by
22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.640
Google Pixel iPad. Many seven of you have been dropping
23
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640
on other channels. Any thoughts true, I summed it up
24
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.439
pretty much in the iPad mini video I did, which
25
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.680
is exactly what we expected, just a spec bump. I
26
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.560
think Apple would say the biggest feature is Apple Intelligence,
27
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.959
and yet it didn't. It didn't ship with that yet,
28
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.200
So yeah, it's kind of hard to get excited pumped
29
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.000
by it. I didn't see a need to. I didn't
30
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.840
see a need to go out and buy one because
31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.439
I could go out and buy one and unbox it
32
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.480
and show it on my channel and my opinions would
33
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.439
be exactly the same. This is a new problem Apple
34
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.680
has to figure out. When I have Universal Control turned
35
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.159
on on the iMac and then I put the iMac
36
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.879
to sleep, then the mouse is just gone on my
37
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.400
Mac like it doesn't matter. There it is. It didn't
38
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.080
matter if I use the track pad or the magic
39
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.360
mouse anyway. Can at least see your face now? Yeah,
40
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.599
it should recover. It just takes a few seconds. I
41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.240
don't know what causes it. You'll have like so much
42
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.080
consistency and the live stream will be totally steady, and
43
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.280
then all of a sudden, it just falls apart. It's
44
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.280
very random. Anyway, new iPads is just a spec bump.
45
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.759
Why is everybody disappointed? Nobody expected anything huge, at least
46
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.000
if you were expecting things huge, it's your own dang vault. Okay,
47
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.639
Because I literally told people leading up to the launch
48
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.199
of the IPEd many seven, I was like, look, this
49
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.479
is what's rumored. It's probably just a spec bump. It's
50
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.360
not going to it's gonna add Apple pencil pro support
51
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.199
in a new chip. It's not gonna add o lad,
52
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.800
It's not gonna add pro motion. And yet everyone keeps
53
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.800
getting hyped and excited about when's the new iPad Mini coming?
54
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.240
And then it was exactly what we all thought it
55
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.560
was gonna be, and then people were somehow disappointed. I
56
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.560
was like, well, there were no leaks, there were no rumors,
57
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.560
There was no analysts coming out saying that this is
58
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.680
going to be an old or a Mini LED or
59
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.800
one hundred and twenty eiritz iPad Mini. No one was
60
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.879
making those claims. And yet somehow that was everybody's expectation
61
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.159
going into it. So I don't know where that came from,
62
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.759
but we should probably kick off today's live stream with
63
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.360
the title and thumbnail. For those who are new, I'm
64
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.240
sorry I have to remind everybody. For those who are loyal,
65
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.680
just be patient. But for the new people, we don't
66
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.240
do the entire live stream just about what's in the
67
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.759
title in thumbnail. That would get old fast. I don't
68
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.000
think that would be a very interesting live stream. Now,
69
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.599
the point of the live stream is to have a
70
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.199
real time response from you guys, the fans, or the viewers,
71
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:44.520
or the audience, whatever you want to call yourselves. Is
72
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.080
to have real time responses. So I answer questions from
73
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.520
the channel members and I'll pick up I'll pick or
74
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.479
start off the live stream with a simple story that
75
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.159
we can kind of dive into so that I can
76
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.680
get your guys's reaction to it. But then of course
77
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.280
you guys can ask questions, you can steer the direction
78
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.960
of the stream so that it's not all just like
79
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.479
normal where I'm trying to guess what you're the most
80
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.960
interested in. Instead, you can just tell me what you're
81
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.280
the most interested in, so that I know what you
82
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.759
guys want me to talk about. So that's the beauty
83
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.639
of live stream, and that's why it's a lot of fun.
84
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.000
But today's one was kind of an interesting report. It
85
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.319
came from a Japanese blog, mac Takara, who's not got
86
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.519
like a flawless track record by any means. But oh,
87
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.439
I see the problem. I have the wrong window captured. Yeah,
88
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.800
those are the channel member questions, so you'll have to
89
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.879
take my word for it. It's in the thumbnail of
90
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.000
the live stream. But yeah, essentially there's not really much
91
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.560
to show. But mac Takara had these dummy models made
92
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.439
up for the iPhone SC four, which, of course I
93
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.639
was kind of like, this is the dumbest dummy model
94
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.040
you could possibly have, because the iPhone SC four is
95
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.120
literally just an iPhone fourteen with one camera on the
96
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.600
back instead of two. That's pretty much the only difference
97
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.000
at this point. It looks like it's gonna have a
98
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.040
ringer switch, it's gonna have a volume button, it'll have
99
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.279
a power button just like an iPhone fourteen, be the
100
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.639
same shape, size display as an iPhone fourteen. It'll have
101
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.560
a notch just like an iPhone fourteen. Oh and with USBC.
102
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.040
But again it's a dummy model. So they made these
103
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.560
dummy model mockups, but included in those mockups that I
104
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.519
assume are for case manufacturers, or I assume are from
105
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.439
people within the industry. They also had a plus variant
106
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.720
of the iPhone SE. Now again, anyone can really make
107
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.199
a dummy model. Any dummy can make a dummy model, right,
108
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.680
So I don't look at that leak or it's not
109
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.759
really even a leak at this point. It's more of
110
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.759
just a rumor that some news articles were pushing, and
111
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.160
I was like, I don't know if I want to
112
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.160
do a whole designated video on that, but it might
113
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.800
make for a good topic to get your guys's opinion
114
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.240
on during a live stream. So that's why I'm kicking
115
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.240
off today's livestream with that topic. So I don't believe
116
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.279
this is an accurate rumor. I don't think this is
117
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.480
going to happen, but it does bag the question should
118
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.199
the iPhone s have a plus variant? I mean NH
119
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.680
is like short answer. Note that is a pretty short answer.
120
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.879
Even yes would be a longer answer than no. I
121
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.920
will play Devil's advocate just for a minute, even though yes,
122
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.480
I agree with you, Like if you want a bigger phone,
123
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.879
just buy a fourteen plus or buy a fifteen plus,
124
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.160
or you know there's all kinds of different plus models
125
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.680
out there, but to be Devil's advocate, look at it
126
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.800
this way. The iPhone se is supposed to replace the
127
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.040
iPhone fourteen in the lineup, right, they've kept around the
128
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.079
fifteen plus. Again, after all these years, we still have
129
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.680
a sixteen plus. We've got the sixteen promax. So it's
130
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.639
like every other segment in the iPhone lineup has a
131
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.959
larger size model. And while we may not fall for
132
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.120
this as much as the average consumer, Apple probably is
133
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.319
well aware that there's advantages to having a product price
134
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.399
step ladder, as in, it's easy to upsell people on
135
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.240
nicer and nicer hardware when you are able to digest
136
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.680
small price increments at a time. So if the iPhone
137
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.519
se regular, you know, the cheapest iPhone, which in my
138
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.399
opinion will be the best one. I will genuinely recommend
139
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.839
that to lots of people in my personal life. I'm like, hey,
140
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.399
let's get you on a newer iPhone with USBC and
141
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.959
then you're done. You don't have to think about it,
142
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.920
you don't have to worry about it for probably another
143
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.959
six seven years. That iPhone will probably last a while
144
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.079
because it'll have eight gigs of memory, it will have
145
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.519
the best port USBC, and it'll have a forty eight
146
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.480
megapixel camera, which is great and fantastic. The only big
147
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.240
headache is they got to get used to face ID
148
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.120
instead of touch ID and all that. But Apple looks
149
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.360
at it as okay, well, let's offer an S plus
150
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.519
for one hundred bucks. More So, the entry level SE
151
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.360
would be four ninety nine, the plus would be five
152
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:53.879
ninety nine. Hypothetically for a six point seven inch ish,
153
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.040
you know, in the six and a half inch size,
154
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.600
for a six hundred dollars iPhone that would still have
155
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.600
an A eighteen chip, that would still just have one
156
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.120
camera on the back. It would still be o led,
157
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.279
but it'd still be sixty hurtz and it'd be face
158
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.680
ID again. It would be like an iPhone fourteen plus
159
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.959
that just ever so happens to have one camera USBC
160
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.959
and Apple Intelligence support for six hundred bucks. If they
161
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.399
could hit that price point. Big phones do sell well,
162
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.759
and it's not necessarily just because of the screen size.
163
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.279
It's also because of the battery life. That's important to
164
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.360
a lot of people out there. Like I've said for
165
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.279
a while, now, you know the everyday consumer cares more
166
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.720
so about, you know, the cost of the phone. They
167
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.440
care about, I think the longevity of the phone, and
168
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.080
they don't get all nitpicky about specs and displays and
169
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.720
all that. I think what matters to the average consumer
170
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.639
is like the price in the battery life. And hypothetically speaking,
171
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.519
while this is not a very likely rumor, I'm not
172
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.600
saying there's much other evidence other than this one Macatakara
173
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.159
blog talking about the SE Plus. Even though I'm with
174
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.039
a lot of you guys saying no, no, no, no,
175
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.039
we don't need a Plus. We've got too many pluses.
176
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.039
Let's have a Mini, Let's have an se Mini. I
177
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.399
wholeheartedly agree. I want the Mini to come back at
178
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.120
every price range. You know. I want a pro Mini.
179
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.360
I want to iPhone sixteen Mini or seventeen Mini. You know.
180
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.600
I want the minis to come back. Don't get me wrong,
181
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.120
but unfortunately, we have a lot of evidence from Apple
182
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.519
that the mini iPhones don't sell all that well, or
183
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.120
even if they do, they don't have great margins. So
184
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.919
Devil's Advocate. Even though a lot of you guys bring
185
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.840
up good points about the se I think there's actually
186
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.000
a decent chance that If Apple did release an SE plus,
187
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.679
which is basically just an iPhone fourteen plus with one
188
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.320
camera on the back, that's forty eight megapixels in USBC
189
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.279
with an A eighteen ship for five ninety nine, or
190
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.559
maybe it's a little more, maybe it's six point forty nine.
191
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.559
That's still substantially cheaper than an iPhone sixteen, which starts
192
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.080
at you know, eight hundred bucks. That's almost two hundred
193
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.039
dollars less for a bigger screen, probably a better battery life,
194
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.120
but the same chip, probably the same USBC port. I
195
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.600
don't see them going much lower than USB two point zero.
196
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.799
So we don't know exactly what the price is on
197
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.840
the SE. We pretty much know everything else about it.
198
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.759
We know that the you know, the obvious SE, the
199
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.759
six point one inch oh LED will have a boxy
200
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.519
aluminum design, Apple designed modem on the inside that could
201
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.399
also help with battery life. So you get an Apple
202
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.600
designed modem into a plus sized iPhone. Plus sized iPhone
203
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.080
means bigger battery, even though it may be more expensive
204
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.559
than we'd like. Maybe the SE turns into a six
205
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.159
hundred dollars phone, which isn't really what we think of
206
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:42.200
when we think SE. It might end up being one
207
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.559
of the more popular models. Like Apple's probably just experimenting
208
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.480
and trying things, And there's a good chance that the
209
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:55.200
reason that an iPhone sixteen plus or fifteen plus like
210
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.120
years prior hasn't sold all that great, I think it
211
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.720
could be because it's not that it's a phone, it's
212
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.720
just that it's so close in price to the pros.
213
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.200
And Apple loves this dichotomy we're having, like with David saying,
214
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.399
you know, with an SE plus, we're only fifty dollars
215
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.799
away from a brand new fifteen or fourteen plus. Yeah,
216
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.320
but all of what those phones offer are nerdy, techie
217
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.720
things that I don't think the everyday consumer would care
218
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.279
that much about. Does the everyday consumer really need an
219
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.360
ultra wide lens or a fourteen plus? Do they really
220
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.480
want to spend more money on an iPhone with a
221
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.159
lightning port. Also, by the way, David, I think the
222
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.039
fourteen will be gone when the SE comes out. It's
223
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.120
going to kill off iPhone fourteen the same way that
224
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.360
the SE two killed off the iPhone eight and the
225
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.639
iPhone se one killed off the iPhone five s. They
226
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.519
kill them a little bit prematurely into the upgrade cycle,
227
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.759
but they always kill off the model that they share
228
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.879
the most parts with, and they always kill off like
229
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.000
the oldest model. Right now in the lineup, the iPhone
230
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.159
fourteen is pretty much the oldest model. So while we
231
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.320
don't need, I agree we don't need an SE Plus.
232
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.840
I could see the argum meant that if Apple was
233
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.080
trying to make a lower cost big phone, the S
234
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.200
Plus is not that close to the price of the Pros,
235
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.200
and I think it's that price similarity with the Pro
236
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.399
variance that prevents a lot of people from buying the
237
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:19.720
fifteen Plus or the sixteen plus now, at least statistically,
238
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.879
whenever they do research or pulling or sampling of most
239
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:28.519
popular iPhone models of the new lineups, the fifteen plus
240
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.519
and the sixteen plus are always low on the list.
241
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.559
Most people are either buying the regular fifteen or sixteen
242
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.080
or they're buying the pros. In fact, year over year,
243
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.559
the Pros keep selling the best. So if Apple's trying
244
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.000
to find a good mid range sweet spot, I actually
245
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.279
think S Plus among the masses, maybe not among the
246
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.200
tech community, because we care more about ultra wide lenses,
247
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.840
and we care more about action buttons or little advantages
248
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.000
the iPhone fifteen might have. But again, an S plus
249
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.480
well cheaper than a fifteen, would be bigger than a fifteen.
250
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.840
Maybe it won't have dynamic island, but again, is the
251
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.320
everyday consumer care? But they don't know what a dynamic
252
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.360
island is. That's just a UI thing. So if the
253
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.480
regular iPhones are too expensive, again, the SE plus would
254
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.559
have a better chip than the iPhone fifteen, the iPhone
255
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.440
fifteen would not get Apple Intelligence features. Does the average
256
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.879
consumer care? Eh? Probably not, but Apple's marketing it like
257
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.320
they should care, like crazy. They're marketing Apple Intelligence way
258
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.799
harder than they are Dynamic Island or ultra wide lenses.
259
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:34.159
So if every size is gonna have every iPhone model
260
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.399
is going to have two sizes, why should the SE
261
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.000
be any different just because it's cheaper. I don't know.
262
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.120
They kept the fourteen plus around this long fifteen plus
263
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.879
is still on the site, So if they're rebranding the
264
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.840
iPhone fourteen and tweaking the design a little bit to
265
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.559
be EU approved, then well, this is unlikely to happen.
266
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.840
I would argue that s C plus might actually be
267
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.200
a pretty decent sweet spot for a lot of customers
268
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.679
out there. AI is very much overhyped. Yes, absolutely, I
269
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.679
think Apple would want their lineup of iPhones to all
270
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.480
have Apple Intelligence, except maybe keeping the fifteen there. Yeah,
271
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.840
it will be awkward, but yeah, it seems pretty obvious,
272
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.679
especially because of the launch of the iPad Mini seven,
273
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.320
that Apple is trying to push sales or generate more
274
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.360
sales by just getting everybody on board Apple Intelligence as
275
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:32.879
soon as possible. That's very, very true. Okay, let me
276
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.799
move up here. I think SE Plus would have the
277
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.519
exact inverse problem as the many people only paying five
278
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.759
hundred dollars or below just on a phone, just like
279
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.440
people paying seven hundred plus dollars won't settle for a Mini,
280
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.600
I suppose. But you're it goes both ways. I mean
281
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:54.559
Mini and Plus is all relative, right, You're saying you're
282
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.519
saying they won't settle with the Mini because it's too
283
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.240
small or because it has bad battery line. Well, the
284
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.639
Plus addresses both of those complaints. The Plus model would
285
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.960
have longer battery life and it would be even bigger
286
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.720
than the entry level SE. So sometimes it's that what
287
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.559
is it called the decoy effect that Apple gets a
288
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.279
lot of sales on, so they might be willing to
289
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.679
try something different next year. And if the entry level
290
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.120
se is too cheap and people are concerned about battery life,
291
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.320
then the S plus feels like, Okay, it's cheaper than
292
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.720
a fifteen, but better than a fifteen in several ways.
293
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.279
Like it's got Apple Intelligence features, it's got more ram,
294
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.480
it's newer, which matters to some people. It's got an
295
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.320
Apple designed modem and the fifteen does not, So there's
296
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.480
it would be a toss up at a lower price,
297
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.519
and I think that would win over a lot of people.
298
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.919
So that's my devil's advocate for S plus. Even though
299
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.600
I'm not really into it, I don't necessarily want it,
300
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.320
I could see it actually selling pretty well because it
301
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.639
wouldn't have that problem of being too close to the
302
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:08.120
price of the pros, and the everyday consumer at least
303
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.240
appears to care a little bit more about battery life
304
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:16.879
and screen size. Maybe they bring back Product red, please,
305
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.600
just on anything, bring that back. Apple hasn't released Product
306
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.879
Red much at all. I would rather an air or
307
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.159
thin variants. You want to make it thinner? You know
308
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:31.919
that just means worse battery life, right, Okay, it's your call.
309
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.320
It's up to you. But I am to get a
310
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.240
sixteen Pro so bad. I'm done with the notch on
311
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.480
my fourteen. I also want Apple Intelligence at one hundred
312
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.200
and twenty here it's display. Why not a fifteen pro
313
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.320
top Maverick That would be my recommendation. I've been very,
314
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.200
very disappointed with the iPhone sixteen lineup, but nothing has
315
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.600
really met my expectations, and my expectations were pretty low,
316
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.120
and you can find a fifteen Pro for much cheaper.
317
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.759
I'm also intrigued about the in house five Motivate speed
318
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.080
versus the current iPhone. I don't think the Apple in
319
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.279
house design modem will be faster. I think it'll just
320
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.400
be more efficient. That's my guess as to why they're
321
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:13.559
launching it on entry level cheap iPhone. Why you know,
322
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.160
if Apple had developed this state of the art, super fast,
323
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.920
super capable five G modem, why not ship that on
324
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.119
the iPhone sixteen Pro or seventeen Pro. Why not have
325
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.920
that be a top of the line premium feature, Because
326
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.160
you know, if they attract too much attention to it,
327
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.799
people are going to be like, why the heck did
328
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.119
you put your best modem on the cheapest iPhone and
329
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:38.599
not on your most expensive iPhone, right, So my guess
330
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.440
is that the Apple designed modem is going to be
331
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.359
all about better battery life, running at lower temperatures, and
332
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.960
being better at efficiency, not necessarily better five G performance.
333
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.359
That's my guess. It does help them save on cost,
334
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.039
but again, why not do that on your high end iPhones?
335
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.720
If it was faster and cheaper, they would have done
336
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:00.799
it sooner, or they would have saved it for a
337
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.039
higher end iPhone. But let's see, what about the sixteen lineup?
338
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.039
Are you disappointed by Camera control is just kind of
339
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.279
a big joke. They bragged about it being built up
340
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.920
for Apple Intelligence, and Apple Intelligence is not that good.
341
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.200
I hate to break it to you, but the people
342
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.599
who have it are not that impressed by it, and
343
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.759
most people don't even have it yet. Have it yet
344
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.799
because it's still in beta. Even when it's out of beta,
345
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.359
there's going to be a wait list to join it.
346
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.720
But there's really the only difference is going to be
347
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.519
some animations on the first wave of Apple Intelligence. It's
348
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.039
the exact same series before. There's no changes to her
349
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:43.200
other than the animation for it, and the proofread functionality
350
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.680
is gimmicky. You're not going to use it all that much,
351
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.240
or it's not going to be that helpful. So camera
352
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.519
control is just a big UI nightmare. I never use it.
353
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.279
It's not helpful. When I did use it, it was
354
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.519
slow and not as versatile or as easy as just
355
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.000
using my on board display. Also, I was like ten
356
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.279
minutes into recording a video in the park on my
357
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.079
phone and the phone just straight up froze. A sixteen proax.
358
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.319
You know, there's a twelve hundred dollars phone that I've
359
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.319
had for a couple of weeks, and ten minutes into
360
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.799
a recording, not an intense recording, just a regular four
361
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.400
K at sixty video, not four K at one to twenty,
362
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.440
not some slow mo thing, just a regular four K
363
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.720
at twenty video. Nine seconds into the recording, it just freezes,
364
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.599
and I lost everything that happened after that moment. I
365
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.200
had to I couldn't hit stop recording. I had to
366
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:31.799
shut the phone all the way off and then unlock
367
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.519
it again and then launch the camera to get back
368
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.519
into recording. So the phone still overheats. They didn't fix
369
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.680
the they didn't fix the thermal issues. It's the exact
370
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.559
same speed of the USBC port as before the forty
371
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.559
eight megapixel ultra wide lens is not substantially sharper than before.
372
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.920
I thought it would improve the image quality, but it didn't.
373
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.440
It really didn't, so I say, just get a fifteen
374
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:01.519
pro save yourself some money. Is Siri getting better with
375
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:05.440
Apple Intelligence. They're claiming it eventually will, but not next week.
376
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.839
You know, on October twenty fifth is when they're supposed
377
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.720
to be launching Apple Intelligence for the public, so you
378
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.720
won't have to be on a beta build to get it.
379
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.400
But on that first build that they're releasing it that
380
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.960
Siri is not improved. The Siri improvements are supposed to
381
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.440
be coming several months down the road. And again, when
382
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.599
they're pushing the software team this hard and they're marketing
383
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.039
it this hard, there's no way that it can be
384
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.400
as good as they're claiming. That's all I'm saying. The
385
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.480
conditions are not good because the company's doing it purely
386
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.799
to please investors. They're not doing it because they're actually
387
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.039
that excited or interested in it. It feels like they
388
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.480
double down on it because they've been doing AI features
389
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.839
for years. It was only recently that they actually started
390
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.599
using the term AI and started being like, no, we're
391
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.599
an AI company too, so I've just everything about it
392
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.920
has been a letdown for me. I'm interested in getting
393
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.640
the Pixel nine, yes, but I want to get it
394
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.799
on Amazon renewed so that I can keep it for
395
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.160
a longer period. I don't want to just review it
396
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.160
for two weeks. I'd like to review it for several months. No,
397
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.440
I don't think Apple is dying. I just think they've matured.
398
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.880
I just think that they've reached a point where they
399
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.759
can't substantially improve on their hardware. The spatial thing is interesting,
400
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.119
but it's just kind of a long term game. I
401
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.039
think spatial computing will long term be a lot more
402
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.319
interesting than AI. I think AI is a very overblown, overhyped.
403
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:31.680
It's a tool. It's not going away, but it's just
404
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.319
another tool, like five G is a tool. Like five
405
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.480
G was overhyped, overexaggerated the capabilities of it. The marketing
406
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.119
behind it was like, oh, yeah, five G is going
407
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.799
to result in everybody having five gigabits per second in
408
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.799
their pocket, and that's just not what happened. It resulted
409
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.839
in phones running hotter, draining battery lies faster, and it
410
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.559
was about twice as fast as four G, not ten
411
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.960
times as fast, like all the carriers were acting like
412
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.000
it was going to be John says, your thoughts on
413
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.680
the idea of Apple stopped doing yearly releases instead release
414
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.720
when they are ready. There's pros and cons to it.
415
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.599
We've talked about it in the past. The problem is
416
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.920
obviously the pro is, oh, when you do refresh it,
417
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:10.759
it'll feel like a bigger deal. Yeah, I get that.
418
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.599
But the con of that is it means that you
419
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.920
get people spending big money, like thousands of dollars eighteen
420
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.480
months into a products release cycle. So let's say Apple
421
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.119
doesn't release an iPhone every year, instead they go to
422
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.799
every other year. Well, that means that a year and
423
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.039
a half after the phone came out, people are still
424
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.400
buying dated hardware. Now that there's better chips, better modems,
425
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.440
better displays that have become available that they are now
426
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.200
missing out on because well, it wouldn't be as substantial
427
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.640
as an upgrade. So maybe it reaches a point in
428
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.559
the next decade where the refreshes are so minor and
429
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:50.440
the supply chain and the technology development for the displays
430
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.480
and the chips are not getting that better within a year.
431
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.279
Maybe that's the point where Apple would consider it, but
432
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:58.079
so far I haven't seen that to be the case,
433
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:02.000
even if it's not as stantial upgrade. You know, again,
434
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.440
don't think of it as most people are not upgrading
435
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.640
every year, you know. Most people buy an iPhone and
436
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.920
own it for three, four, sometimes five six years, and
437
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.119
then they upgrade to the newest possible one, and then
438
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.440
they hold on to that one for another five six years.
439
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:20.319
So if you're upgrading twice a decade, you don't care
440
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:24.319
if the iPhone seventeen is incredibly similar to the iPhone sixteen.
441
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.759
You just want to make sure that when you do upgrade,
442
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:29.359
you get the best of the best hardware available at
443
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:34.400
that time. Like I said, it could reach a point
444
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:36.960
where the modems or the chips, or the displays or
445
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.920
the cameras have gotten so ironed out and so capable
446
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.799
that you just don't even need You just don't even
447
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.920
need to upgrade them every year or every six to
448
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.119
twelve months. But so far, I don't think that's happened yet.
449
00:23:54.160 --> 00:24:00.640
So if it does, I think we'll know why. But yeah,
450
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.799
that's true. You can use Gemini or CHATTBT on any iPhone.
451
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.240
You don't need an iPhone sixteen or an iPhone fifteen
452
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:09.720
pro even to have access to the better AI. I mean,
453
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.839
there's a lot of headlines going around right now that
454
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.039
Apple does internally that they're behind companies like open AI
455
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.319
by like two years. The people who are testing Apple Intelligence,
456
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.039
at least the people who run the beta on their
457
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.240
main devices and mess around with the new features, they
458
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.359
tell me that it's nowhere near as good as CHATGBT,
459
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.279
which you don't need the latest iPhone for. So even
460
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.359
if you're a big fan of AI, I don't think
461
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.039
it's worth upgrading to the iPhone sixteen just for Apple
462
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.200
Intelligence because Apple Intelligence is nowhere near close to the
463
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.559
best of the best AI. Apple acknowledged the freezing sixteen
464
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.880
series bug in the latest eighteen Dot one RC bug fixes. Well,
465
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.480
it still happened. I still lost a moment, I still
466
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.400
lost footage. So that's all I'm saying is it's a disappointment.
467
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.279
When is Apple Intelligence going to be fully released. I
468
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.000
don't think they'll ever be done with it. There's always
469
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.799
going to be some features in beta that need ironing
470
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:11.079
out or need improvement. Chech on the whole is matured,
471
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.200
especially when it comes to phones. There's a lot of
472
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:18.559
interesting developments in technology with evs. By the way, that's
473
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.680
why I'm more passionate and more excited about that industry
474
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.720
is because there's a lot of change going on with
475
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:27.839
battery pack technology and with electric vehicle powertrain technology and
476
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:31.839
manufacturing technology that's making evs cheaper and cheaper. There's a
477
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.160
lot of rapid change in that field, which is why
478
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.640
it's far more interesting to talk about to me than phones.
479
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.839
But I get it. More people are buying phones all
480
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.079
the time than they are cars. So that's why I
481
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.559
still have this channel to talk about what is going
482
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.039
on in the smartphone industry, even if it's small, even
483
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.200
if it doesn't feel major. I'm just saying there's certain
484
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.519
lots there's certain areas of tech in the world that
485
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:56.839
have changed pretty radically where there's a lot of innovation
486
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.680
going on. But it's not what Apple's doing. It's not
487
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.599
with smartphones, it's not with tablets, it's not with desktop monitors.
488
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.319
All that kind of stuff is kind of matured and peaked,
489
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.880
and the developments on it have somewhat plateaued because there's
490
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.480
really just not much more they can do with it.
491
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.839
Cameras can only get so good, displays can only get
492
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.359
so good, and then over time all those really really
493
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.000
good hardware devices get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, and
494
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.440
then it's like, okay, now what now, why do I upgrade?
495
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:27.799
What's the point? Maverick says, The reason I think Apple
496
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:29.759
is dying is because of how bad iOS eighteen is.
497
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:31.960
And you said camera control buttoning the sixteen pros buggy
498
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.480
to the point where you had to restart the phone.
499
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.000
It wasn't even camera control in that situation. The phone
500
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.160
just froze. I wasn't using camera control. So it's just yeah,
501
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.960
iOS eighteen is buggy, But there's been many years of
502
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.759
buggy iOS. I've been hearing people say I've been hearing
503
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.440
people say that for over a decade now. This latest
504
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.119
version feels way buggier than ever before. And every year
505
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.279
people think it's the worst year, and it's like, I
506
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.559
think it's just always kind of been like this. It's
507
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:00.680
just you remember it when it's happened in the moment,
508
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.400
but you don't remember it when it happened five years ago.
509
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.400
Adam Life Events celeb just did their first ever super
510
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.640
chat for no reason. Thank you for that, by the way,
511
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.559
very kind of you. Apple needs to get the camera
512
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.480
bump under control. Well. Also been saying that for a
513
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:19.160
decade now and it has only gotten bigger, So I
514
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.000
don't think they're going the other direction anytime soon. If
515
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.160
you like intelligence and the AirPods in the watch are
516
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.319
where it is the possibility of being the most useful,
517
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.359
and yes, two places where it definitely will not run natively,
518
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.559
it would have to carry it off the iPhone, in
519
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.079
which case, why can't it do it already? Well, because
520
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.559
then they can't justify you upgrading the sixteen Pro is
521
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:39.680
crazy with the camera bump, and a case doesn't even
522
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.240
make it better a little bit, but not a lot.
523
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.319
That's why I started switching to I mean, I'm biased
524
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:46.599
because they did sponsor my channel, but I did switch
525
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.960
to Taurus phone cases because they have little three sixty
526
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.640
degree kickstands on the back, and that lets me keep
527
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.720
my phone propped up. It never sits flat on a
528
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.480
table anymore because it's always on its kickstand. So that
529
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.000
actually helps with face ID working, so I don't have
530
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.279
to move my head around in some weird way to
531
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.319
get my phone to unlock with my face. And it's
532
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:10.720
also very helpful when you're washing dishes or you're cooking
533
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.519
or you're working on something, but you want to prop
534
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:16.039
up the phone somewhere. So ever, since I tried one
535
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.519
of their cases, I tried it first on my fifteen Pro.
536
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:22.880
I was like, oh, this kickstand is kind of helpful
537
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.880
when I'm doing FaceTime calls or something and I don't
538
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.480
have to hold the phone the whole time, and I
539
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.279
can just prop it up a lot easier now, and
540
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.119
it's built into the case and it still does the
541
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:34.119
wireless charging and everything. But then I switched to the
542
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:38.559
sixteen Pro Macs because of course that came out, and
543
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:42.640
I realized when I didn't have the case on that phone, Wow,
544
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.319
it's actually really hard to go back to not having
545
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.839
a phone with a kickstand, Like I have just gotten
546
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.880
so used to the kickstand that, yeah, I'm going to
547
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.680
keep using kits, So that's a mandatory thing for me. Boom, yeah, kickstand.
548
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.759
There's your reactions. I can't go back now to having
549
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.839
a phone that doesn't do that because it's just way
550
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.519
too convenient and that eliminates the camera wobble. It makes
551
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:06.559
it far easier to use because face D works on
552
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:08.880
a table if you're eating something or you're cooking or
553
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.400
washing dishes. You know, there's a lot of situations where
554
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.039
we're using our phones and our hands are tied up
555
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.079
doing other things. If you use that a lot. I'm
556
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:19.079
anxious to see how the kickstan holds up. My case
557
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:21.240
has the kickstan around the camera and it works flawlessly.
558
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.359
Good good. Yeah, by my wife is still rocking my
559
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.920
old my first Taurus case which has the kickstan. And yes,
560
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:31.640
I have no contract with them. They did pay me.
561
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:34.000
They did cover the price of the sixteen pro that
562
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.519
was the deal. I didn't pocket any money. All all
563
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:39.319
I got was enough money to cover the cost of
564
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:43.240
the sixteen pro Max. So I'm basically saying that so
565
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.079
that you guys know, if something goes wrong with the
566
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:48.720
Taurus cases, I'm allowed to talk about it. It wouldn't
567
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.519
breach contract. So if I have a problem with the case,
568
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:54.160
I will document it and I will share it and say, hey,
569
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.680
I've had this case for this long and now I'm
570
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.039
having problems with this. But so far haven't had any
571
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.160
issues with the fifteen pro case or the sixteen pro case.
572
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.839
But let's see. I remember when iOS seven came out,
573
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.480
and that was buggy. Think it happened when a new
574
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.440
OS version comes out and they iron everything out and
575
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.640
the dot one, et cetera. Yeah, usually, if they iron
576
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.160
it out and everything's running smoothly, no one says anything,
577
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:21.359
of course, but what it's buggy you hear about it?
578
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:25.519
Of course? Why not use a mag Safe pop socket
579
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:30.039
kickstand then still have the iPhone naked, probably cause I
580
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.839
don't I don't know enough about the mag Safe Pop
581
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.039
socket kickstand, but I'm guessing that eliminates wireless charging. Let
582
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.599
me look it up real quick because I don't know.
583
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:51.200
Let's see mag Safe Pop socket kickstand. Yeah, all the
584
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:55.720
ones I see would cover up the back of my
585
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.720
phone so that I couldn't wirelessly charge it, which is
586
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.799
a no go to me because I love wireless charging
587
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.599
my phone. I guess I see one that doesn't. But
588
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.200
it's made by Torris ironically, so Torres makes a kickstand.
589
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.000
But I also think it's good to have a case
590
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.960
if you're gonna be taking the phone out in about
591
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:17.799
You know, my phone is more of a tool now
592
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.440
than ever before. When I was younger, I was like, Oh,
593
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.079
I like the way like the phone feels. I want
594
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.279
to feel that raw naked titanium on the side. But
595
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:29.759
now I'm like, Drew, that's not why you have a phone.
596
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.920
You don't have a phone so you can satisfy some
597
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.240
you know, like oh, I want to feel a little
598
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.880
curvature of the edges. I'm like, no, this is a tool,
599
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.119
and there's a good chance that someone else in my
600
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.440
life is Like most of the phones in my life,
601
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.160
they end up in a friend or family member's hands.
602
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.720
So I decided, you know what, this is an expensive phone.
603
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:49.119
I should take good care of it. So I have
604
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.079
a screen protector also from Torres on my phone, which
605
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:53.839
I used to never do. But I'm like, you know what,
606
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:56.559
this is a tool. I'm not buying this because it's
607
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.160
pretty and I like the way it feels. I'm buying
608
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.559
this because I use it for work a lot so
609
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.920
and because I'm filming with it more than I've ever
610
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.680
filmed with it before, and there's often times where other
611
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.039
people are holding my phone and filming me, filming more
612
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.319
outside than ever before. With my new job at Tello
613
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:18.640
and everything, I wanted it to be protected. So I
614
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:20.680
thought a case was a good idea. But also if
615
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.079
I have a case, it still needs to support wireless
616
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.279
charging and it needs to have a kickstand. Those are
617
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.480
two very important features to me. I would not buy
618
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.960
a I would not buy a case that doesn't have
619
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.640
a kickstand anchor has a good one. Nice you can
620
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.079
buy that one. I don't care. Whatever makes sense for you,
621
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.079
whatever's cheaper. But yeah, most of the mags Safe pop
622
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.799
socket things I saw eliminated the wireless charging, so that's
623
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.920
a no go. Wireless charging is less efficient. Are you
624
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:52.720
all about efficiency? I am, but I think you're a
625
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.960
grasping at straws there with the amount of power our
626
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:59.359
phones used. It's incredibly low. It's incredibly small. We're talking
627
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.519
wat hours, which is fractions of pennies on the electric bill.
628
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.640
So I care about time efficiency just as much, if
629
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.640
not more so, than about energy efficiency. So I like,
630
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:14.640
when I'm at the end of the day, or when
631
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.119
I'm done streaming or something, or I'm done using my phone,
632
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.200
I literally just snap it with one hand onto my
633
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:24.480
wireless charging stand and it locks in. Mag's safe wireless
634
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.240
charging is much more efficient than a Chia charging, at
635
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:32.400
least because at least it's lined up properly. But Dylan
636
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.400
White says, good morning, Drew, I stole money from Apple. Congratulations.
637
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:41.319
I'm so happy for you. But anyway, let me jump
638
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:43.960
into the comments here before I forget. So we had
639
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:47.400
some questions from channel members. Thank you by the way
640
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.279
for your support who commented first five hours ago. Okay,
641
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.720
I think YJCHOI asked this on the last stream as well,
642
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.039
so I should address it. Remember that one interview where
643
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:59.880
John Turnas and Johnny Serugi asked, are you worried about
644
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.119
how app the public's perception was that Apple is behind
645
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:05.279
in the AI space? And Turnus laughed and said, We're
646
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.199
not worried. Looking back in retrospect, do you think Apple
647
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.519
was truly playing forty chess with the slow rollout of
648
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.199
Apple Intelligence and intentionally making the iPhone fifteen while knowing
649
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.760
it would not support AI. Or do you think they
650
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.199
were caught by surprise and scrambled the rebrand new features
651
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.239
they would have called machine learning as Apple Intelligence. If
652
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.960
I had Apple Intelligence on this thirteen promax, I could
653
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:29.199
have summarized this more concisely for you, but I can't. Well,
654
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:30.559
you could, you just would have had to use a
655
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:35.920
third party AI. But no, I don't think Apple was
656
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:38.960
playing four D underwater chess. I think that Apple was
657
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.760
caught off guard with the insane valuations of other companies
658
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.559
that were leaders in AI, and they were seeing that
659
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.559
that was bringing a lot of shareholder value. So Apple
660
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:52.239
probably scrambled at the last second to work out some
661
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.880
kind of partnership deal with open Ai so that they
662
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:57.039
could be looked at as one of the AI leaders.
663
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.679
And that's why I think they've marketed so hard despite
664
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:03.559
the fact that the actual AI features are not that good,
665
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:07.360
they're not that noticeable, and they're barely out, they barely exist.
666
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.360
But Apple's been talking about it since June, so you know,
667
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.880
it's been months and months and months of talk in
668
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.519
all these promises of like, yes, this will this will
669
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:16.920
be a thing, and this will be a thing, and
670
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:20.039
this will be so great when it happens, because it's
671
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:22.719
for the shareholders. That's someone brought it up in the
672
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:24.840
live stream at some point. It was a very good point,
673
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.920
and I'm sorry I forgot who it was, but talking
674
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.119
about Apple intelligence is not for the consumers. It's for
675
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.719
the investors. It's supposed to make investors feel like Apple
676
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.400
is catching up or has caught up with other big
677
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.000
tech companies. Adam life Event says, what would I would
678
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.280
like to ask you is I'm getting the iPhone for
679
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:48.159
it Christmas. Is there any tips you can give me
680
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.800
with that phone? I assume you mean the iPhone fourteen,
681
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:54.079
the regular iPhone four I'd be very impressed. Oh there
682
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:57.000
you go, he corrected himself. In UK phones cost a
683
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.079
lot for Christmas. I'm having the fourteen. What can I
684
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.480
ford coming up with the S two? Let me know
685
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.280
anything about the iPhone fourteen. My best advice about the
686
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.639
iPhone fourteen is you shouldn't buy it because it's way
687
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.440
too similar with the iPhone thirteen. I would either say
688
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.280
go up a little bit more and get a fifteen.
689
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:14.320
That way, at least you have USBC, so it's a
690
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.599
bit more future proofed and you get a better chip.
691
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.880
You get a new chip on the inside. But the
692
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:22.079
iPhone thirteen and fourteen have the exact same silicon on
693
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.920
the inside, pretty much the exact same display, exact same camera,
694
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:28.800
exact same port, exact same design. So there's very very
695
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.719
very little advantages other than like, I don't know, car
696
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:35.880
crash detection, but that's such an edge case because most
697
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.119
car crashes you are able to call the police yourself.
698
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.800
You're looking for an edge case where you're in a
699
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.159
very serious car accident where you don't die, but you
700
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.840
also are incapacitated, and in that situation, the car, the
701
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.159
phone will automatically call the police. It's an edge case
702
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.239
upon an edge case upon an edge case. I don't
703
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.760
think you should buy a phone specifically for that one feature.
704
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.559
I would say get an iPhone thirteen or speck up
705
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.639
a little bit higher to a fifteen, because that will
706
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:03.159
be a much more noticeable improvement. There's some design tweaks
707
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:04.840
as well. You get the dynamic island, you get a
708
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:06.880
more rounded chassis, which is a bit more comfortable in
709
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:12.320
the hand, You get USBC, get a great camera. But yeah,
710
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.639
that would be my advice. iPhone fourteen sucked, and I
711
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:20.719
would never recommend the fourteen to anybody. AI is so overvalued.
712
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.719
It's crazy that all the investors are drooling over it.
713
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:24.320
I guess they are drooling over what it could do,
714
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:26.519
not what it can do. AI is kind of like
715
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.559
the perfect investor bait. Though that's the same thing as
716
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.159
other startup companies that use AI technologies. They know that
717
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:41.719
AI is very good at looking pretty capable. It'll make
718
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:44.519
big leaps, and then everybody looks at those big leaps
719
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:49.480
and goes, Wow, if this rate of progress continues, it'll
720
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:54.719
be unstoppable. It'll do all these amazing things. But it
721
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.039
never maintains that growth. But the investor doesn't think about that.
722
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.199
They just think, oh, I'm about to because an investor,
723
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:05.199
of course, wants to invest in a stock or invest
724
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:09.119
in a company right before it's skyrockets, and AI has
725
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:12.880
this impression, especially generative AI, which is what most people
726
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.519
are talking about these days, it has this effect of
727
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.920
always looking like it's just about to take off. It'll
728
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:20.800
show a little bit of progress and people go, oh
729
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.199
my god. If it continues at this rate, it'll be
730
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.960
unstoppable and it'll do everything and anything you can think
731
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.960
of within just a couple of years. So whenever you
732
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:34.079
talk about AI, generative AI features, especially which is what
733
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:39.000
Apple's doing with intelligence, it's perfect for baiting the investor
734
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:41.880
into thinking, oh, I'm about to invest right before the
735
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:46.800
big takeoff, right before the stock goes vertical. So that's
736
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.639
why I think so many companies talk about it. That's
737
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:51.760
why there's been so many startup companies with horrible ideas
738
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.559
like humane like Rabbit are one and now with this
739
00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:00.800
friend concept, this little necklace that uses AI and somehow
740
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.159
these companies get off the ground that probably ten years
741
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.199
ago they couldn't get any investors for. But now in
742
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:11.960
the AI phase, there's all these investors that are like, Oh,
743
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.320
I gotta invest in AI. That's the next big thing.
744
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:18.960
I gotta invest in that. So it's completely overblown, completely overvalued. Yes,
745
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.840
but the technology as a whole is very good at
746
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.639
appearing like it's about to take off. That's why Tesla
747
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:29.599
has fallen for it all these years they've been Elon
748
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:32.920
has literally been saying that they're about to achieve full
749
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.159
self driving for a decade. It's been a decade now.
750
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.360
There's people that have tracked every single time he's made
751
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.159
a claim like that, like in a year we're gonna
752
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:43.960
have FSD or and next year, in the next two
753
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.719
years we'll have FSD. Those claims started all the way
754
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.320
back in twenty fourteen. They have him quoted and on camera,
755
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:56.719
on video or on audio quoted saying that we're within
756
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:00.639
two years of having complete autonomous driving and then we'll
757
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.000
have robotaxis. It's been ten years of that. It's the
758
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.119
same thing, the same concept with Open AI, same concept
759
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.519
with Gemini. AI is very good at looking like it's
760
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:13.519
about to take off, which is exactly what investors look for.
761
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.280
So it's kind of like a Yin Yang. It's like
762
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.440
a match made in hell. It's not a good match
763
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.960
because it never actually delivers on all of its amazing
764
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.639
promises and claims. I'm starting my own YouTube channel called
765
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:28.840
Adam Life Events because I do my own podcast. Is
766
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:30.639
there any tips you have that you could give me, please?
767
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:34.119
I'd recommend just starting and just accepting that when you
768
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.480
start making content, it's not going to be good. It's
769
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.199
always going to start kind of rough because you're inexperienced
770
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:42.400
at it, and that's okay. Just accept that the beginning
771
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:44.119
it won't be good. But the more you do it,
772
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:45.800
the more you practice, and the more you look for
773
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:48.159
ways to improve it. How do I make my thumbnails better?
774
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.559
How do I make my content more interesting? How do
775
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.199
I make my viewers feel like their time is valuable?
776
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:55.480
The more you dwell on that, the better you'll get.
777
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.719
In a few years down the road, you might be
778
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:01.760
better than where you started, and then maybe that'll be
779
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:04.519
enough to get you off the ground. But there's no guarantees.
780
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:08.800
That's my one advice is to I'm giving a lot
781
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:13.960
of one one advice bigger picture, talk about things you're
782
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:17.599
interested in, because a lot of the time you'll, especially
783
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:19.480
when you're starting out, you'll probably make a bunch of
784
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.440
content that doesn't do very well, that doesn't perform well,
785
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.519
that doesn't get a lot of views, or the views
786
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:27.199
it does get is negative. So if you enjoy what
787
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.000
you're talking about, you'll be able to grind through that
788
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.000
several year long process of making content without much feedback
789
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:36.880
or without many people watching it. So if you're excited
790
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:41.360
about it, if you're interested in it, it'll probably show
791
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.039
on camera and you'll be able to tolerate it a
792
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:48.320
lot longer. So that increases your stamina compared to talking
793
00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:54.039
about things you're not interested in. But hopefully I answered YJ.
794
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:58.239
Choy's question when he said we're not worried. When John
795
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.480
Turner said that in the interview, my predict is that
796
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:03.400
was him referencing that they were going to partner with
797
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:06.800
an existing AI company, because the question is, like Apple,
798
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.280
you're falling behind open AI, how are you going to
799
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:13.159
catch up? And I think John Turnis was thinking, we're
800
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:16.239
working with open AI, so any improvements that they make,
801
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.920
we're going to have integrated into iOS whenever Siri can't
802
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:21.800
answer the question, it's just going to fall back on
803
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:26.840
an encrypted, private, secure version of chat GPT now because
804
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:29.559
it's offloaded to Chat GPT. I feel like this should
805
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.239
be on all iPhones that should not require eight gigs
806
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:35.920
of RAM, because it's just pulling it from some secure,
807
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:40.639
private cloud neural network. But again, that wouldn't help them
808
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:42.920
sell more phones, so that's probably why they won't do it.
809
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.440
But no, I don't think Apple was playing forty chess.
810
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:47.639
I think they were scrambling behind the scenes to try
811
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:49.559
to catch up, and they're still scrambling behind the scenes.
812
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:53.239
They're probably embarrassed that they've marketed so many AI features
813
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.679
and technically none of them are out yet. Are we
814
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:58.880
due next year for a MacBook Pro refresh? Dude, it's
815
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.840
happening like maybe it could be next week we're getting
816
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.039
M four MacBook pros. They'll just have a new chip,
817
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:09.239
though they won't have any new designs. Are you talking
818
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:11.320
about it? You're saying four years from the last one,
819
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:13.840
more dynamic Island than face ID. There hasn't been really
820
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:18.280
much talk about that, no talk about design changes other
821
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:21.400
than maybe next year or the year after we'll get
822
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.920
an O lead panel. But no, there's been no talk
823
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:26.079
about dynamic island on the Mac. I don't think it
824
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:31.119
would mesh well. I reconnection successful. Sorry, we had t
825
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:33.119
mobile just shut off there for a second and then
826
00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:36.920
it came right back at full speed. Random. No, the
827
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.199
M four MacBook will most likely not have an event.
828
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:41.400
I felt that way as soon as soon as the
829
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.159
iPad Mini seven dropped as a sight refreshed, I was like, yeah, no,
830
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.880
I think that there's no redesign, so there's no reason.
831
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.840
Let's see. Yeah, a Mac has a lot of screen space,
832
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:56.400
which is why I don't think it makes sense to
833
00:43:56.400 --> 00:44:00.280
have a dynamic island, because dynamic island is four like
834
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:03.480
consolidating a small space that wants to deliver lots of information.
835
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:05.800
You can just deliver all that information on a Mac.
836
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.920
But I just got here, So what are we thinking of?
837
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.679
SE plus probably won't happen. There were some rumors from
838
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:15.760
mac Takara saying that there might be a plus sized
839
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.480
variant of the SE. I speculated at the beginning of
840
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:21.000
the live stream that you know, if there was a
841
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:23.960
plus sized non pro iPhone to do well, it would
842
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:26.000
probably be the SE because it's not too close in
843
00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:28.960
price to the pros and that's the main reason that
844
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:30.920
I think not a lot of people are upgrading to
845
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.800
the fifteen plus or sixteen plus because it's just too
846
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:37.119
close to the pros. But an se plus is much cheaper,
847
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:38.880
but it would still have the good battery life, still
848
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.639
have an A eighteen chip might honestly sell a little
849
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.840
too well, but maybe that's why they won't do it.
850
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:48.239
Macminnie is getting his first redesign, and yeah forever, that's
851
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:52.079
what I'm most excited about. I don't know what what
852
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.440
do you want change? What kind of facelift do you
853
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.400
want on the MacBook Pro. I feel like it's kind
854
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:00.519
of perfect in its current form. I mean, I would
855
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:05.559
want a fourth USB Sport, but that's not really a facelift.
856
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.880
Non Apple related question. Can and should I use solar
857
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:11.280
panels to be energy independent from the power grid? Your
858
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:15.800
thought that's highly highly dependent on so many variables that
859
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:19.199
you're not giving me enough of. I need to know
860
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:21.440
what the electricity costs in your area are, what the
861
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.440
solar costs in your area are. I need to know
862
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:27.000
what battery costs are. Also, the metering rate of the
863
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.400
area you're in and on top of all of that,
864
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:32.239
how long you plan on living there? How old is
865
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:34.880
the roof? There's a ton of variables that go into that,
866
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.000
and I don't have enough information to give you a
867
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:41.519
genuine recommendation. It could be or it could not be.
868
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.079
There's definitely people I've seen by Solar that actually can't
869
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:48.639
justify it. The break even point is so long that
870
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:50.920
they would have been better off just being attached to
871
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:56.039
the grid. Let's see, why is the iosaighteen photos app
872
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.599
so bad? Not sure if you answered that, I'm pretty
873
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:02.119
sure it's another indication of Apple running out of things.
874
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:04.039
It's the same problem we see on the iPad, the
875
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.199
iPhone in the Mac. They've run out of things to change,
876
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.320
so they just go to some of their software teams
877
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:13.079
and go, hey, you got to make it better somehow,
878
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:16.440
when in reality there might not necessarily be ways to
879
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:18.360
make it that much better. It might be good enough
880
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.079
as is, or just need some light tweaking here and there.
881
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.679
But Apple probably went to the photos team and said,
882
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:27.280
our users are not utilizing the photo features that we
883
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:29.400
want them to, so how can we redesign the photos
884
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:31.679
app to make them take advantage of all those memories
885
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:37.159
or location features or auto edited videos of your vacation things.
886
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.400
They were like, how do we redesign the photos app
887
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:41.519
so that people are using the features we want them
888
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.000
to use more. In reality, they probably should have just
889
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.039
left it the same. It wasn't broken, there was nothing
890
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:49.199
wrong with it, but they decided that, oh, we got
891
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:51.920
to change everything that it so that we have something
892
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.159
to talk about. It feels like when the marketing team
893
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:57.960
gets too much power, too much control. Were people complaining
894
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.239
about the photos app and iOS seventeen, Not really, but
895
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:05.320
the marketing team was probably complaining that, hey, we're not
896
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.079
getting We're not gonna have enough stuff to talk about
897
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:10.599
it dubbed up there's supposed to be a twenty minute
898
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:13.199
segment where we talk about iOS eighteen, and we can't
899
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.320
fill the twenty minutes. So how do we change iOS
900
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:19.480
eighteen in some substantial way so that it feels like
901
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:25.159
it's a bigger update. That's probably what was the motivation
902
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:28.079
behind it, and of course that resulted them redesigning it
903
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.000
and changing it in a way that they didn't really
904
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.440
need to. I don't think it's the worst update in
905
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.199
the world, Like you can customize it to kind of
906
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:41.119
turn it back into how it used to be. But yeah,
907
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:47.239
auto generated photos are pretty much used. I agree. Nicholas
908
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:51.840
asked another question here, Nicholas lynth to come the longtime
909
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.360
supporter of the channel. Thanks by the way, he said,
910
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:56.440
asking a little bit of a hypothetical Drew, I know
911
00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:58.639
you mentioned previously smartphones are here for the long haul,
912
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.800
and I definitely believe that with having the context of
913
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:05.159
our world today, which product category in particular do you
914
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:08.159
see one day taking over smartphones? If something was to
915
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:11.280
happen to our grid, how exactly do you see Americans reacting? Wow?
916
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:14.320
That almost relates to the earlier question. If it was
917
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:16.679
out for a long period, there's very different question. Do
918
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:18.639
you think society would be able to adjust to life
919
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.039
how it was before the internet. These are more hypothetical
920
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:23.760
questions just to get your views on how the world
921
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:27.119
has been influenced by technology. Curious on what your opinions
922
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.800
are for what could be abrupt changes also seen. Have
923
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:33.800
you been posting about the lack of product red I
924
00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:36.880
phones on your Twitter which has led you to reiterate
925
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:42.400
the sentiment posting about the line what has what do
926
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:45.880
you mean reiterate this a product? Dark red Titanium iPhone
927
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:47.920
pro would be awesome. Yes, I think we agree. There
928
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:51.920
product red iPhones. I tweeted about it because the product
929
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:59.239
read Twitter account was bragging that every red iPhone portion
930
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:01.480
of the profits go to support some charity, and I
931
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:04.760
was just retweeting it saying, by the way, Apple hasn't
932
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:08.719
released a red iPhone in forever. It's been over two
933
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:11.400
years now, So I thought that was a little funny
934
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.840
and kind of ironic that they were bragging about, Hey,
935
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:15.960
red iPhones help with this, And then I'm like, where
936
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.719
are the red iPhones? Then? If that's the case, I
937
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:20.599
still want red iPhones. But yeah, I don't know what
938
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:25.079
happened to them. But Okay, to answer the question, first
939
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.599
question you asked was about what product or technology would
940
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:36.239
replace the smartphone, which again I don't think is really
941
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.559
going to be done in our lifetime. I think smartphones
942
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:42.239
are just too dang practical. They're too addictive, and they're
943
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.599
too versatile. They do so many things. Even the people
944
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:49.079
who hate smartphones have smartphones. Now that's a good indication
945
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:54.000
of how impactful they've become. So again, I don't think
946
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.800
it's going to be anything that we know about. Maybe
947
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:01.000
there's tech that I haven't formulated yet. Best guess, I
948
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:04.960
don't think again, I don't think spatial computing like augmented reality,
949
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:08.519
glasses or headsets are going to replace the phone. I
950
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:10.480
think they could assist the phone. They could make the
951
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:13.639
phone experience more interesting. They might turn the phone more
952
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.119
into a camera. But you're not going to replace selfies.
953
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.880
You're not going to replace video calls with glasses, and
954
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:22.559
you're not going to replace the affordability of a rectangle
955
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.400
with a battery in it. The battery life of a
956
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.440
smartphone is very, very hard to beat with glasses because
957
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:29.159
it's something you have to wear on your face. It's
958
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:33.840
extremely power dependent. The battery life is substantially worse on
959
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.519
all these glasses and things. And as you get better
960
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:38.920
chip efficiency, you're also going to have great battery life
961
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:41.440
improvements on the phone and the glasses. I just I
962
00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:44.079
think inherently are going to be a more complex product.
963
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.719
So I don't think. I don't think the smartphone is
964
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:51.440
going to go away anytime soon. But if I were
965
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:56.159
to guess on some technology in the future eventually replacing
966
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:58.920
a smartphone, does that mean in twenty sixty people still
967
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.760
have smartphones. Yeah, they might look a little different than today,
968
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:06.639
But yeah, I do think there's just an incredibly insane
969
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:12.239
amount of practicality that comes from a computer that can
970
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:14.800
fit in your pocket, that you can use to communicate
971
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:18.880
with anybody, and you can watch endless content on, play
972
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:23.280
music on, respond to emails on, text people on, and
973
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:29.280
also capture incredibly high resolution memories on. Yeah. I mean,
974
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:35.159
people had televisions back in the nineteen sixties, and we
975
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.119
still have televisions today. You know, We've had a lot
976
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:41.079
of new technology come around since the sixties, but there
977
00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:44.679
are still televisions. Yes, TV's are a much more different design.
978
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:47.800
They're much bigger, they're much thinner borders, they're much lighter
979
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:50.000
than those old TVs from the sixties. We've got color,
980
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.679
we've got higher resolution, they got better, but we still
981
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:58.400
have TVs. And likewise, the iPhone was extremely disruptive in
982
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:01.320
game changing, but it didn't off the Mac. There are
983
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:05.519
still macs, There are still personal computers. There are still desktops,
984
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:08.519
even though laptops have gotten so much better. You know,
985
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:12.519
I think that people have this misconception in their minds
986
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:14.760
that in order for a tech to be a big deal,
987
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:18.000
it has to replace something it has to kill off
988
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:21.559
the existence of another really popular technology, and I don't
989
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:24.519
believe that. I think that you can have a very disruptive,
990
00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:28.039
very impactful technology that doesn't necessarily kill off anything else.
991
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.199
iPhone didn't kill off the Mac. It did kill off
992
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:35.599
the iPod. That's fair. iPod didn't really have a need
993
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.639
to exist when smartphones became so affordable and so mainstream.
994
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:41.800
But an iPhone didn't replace the job of a MacBook
995
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.880
or an iMac or a Mac Mini or a Max Studio,
996
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:46.960
you know, whatever you want to call the desktop Max.
997
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:53.519
There's too many There's too many things that each one
998
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.639
does differently, and each one does good at I think
999
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:58.480
spatial computing might be carving out a whole different way
1000
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:02.039
to use technology. It could be extremely impactful that spatial
1001
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.360
hardware that Apple develops could fundamentally rethink the entire way
1002
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.320
we use and interact with technology. But it could still
1003
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:13.280
do all of that without replacing the smartphone. That's all
1004
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.880
I'm saying. But if I were to guess, that's what
1005
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:19.599
Nicholas is asking, So I feel bad just saying they'll
1006
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.480
never be replaced, because we should probably never say never.
1007
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.679
My best guess would be some kind of neuralink technology.
1008
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:28.480
When we get to the point where we really understand
1009
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:31.320
the human brain incredibly well, and we know how to
1010
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:33.679
plug into it and we know how to tap into it.
1011
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:37.519
If we could get to the point where computers could
1012
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:41.000
be surgically implanted into our brains very efficiently, very quickly,
1013
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:46.559
and it let us communicate with each other virtually, so
1014
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:50.639
we could send text messages just in our brains and
1015
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.840
we didn't even have to look things up anymore. You
1016
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:56.360
don't have to ask Google a question instead, you just
1017
00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:01.079
know it. Like the infinite coledge of the Internet just
1018
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:04.760
becomes another library in your mind, just like how you
1019
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:08.599
remember hopefully you remember what you had for lunch today,
1020
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.679
or what you remember how to speak the language that
1021
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:15.039
you speak. Reconnection successful. There we go. I don't know
1022
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:18.480
why it's doing that. That's a new thing. That's a
1023
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:21.199
new thing. T mobile just randomly likes to disconnect. Now
1024
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:26.079
that's annoying. But yeah, if we reach a point in
1025
00:54:26.119 --> 00:54:30.039
the future where a computer basically just lets like you
1026
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:32.400
don't have to have a Google Translate app or an
1027
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:37.599
Apple Translate app anymore. You just plug into this infinite
1028
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.920
server and now you know how to speak any language
1029
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:46.320
just like you just know it and it fundamentally changes
1030
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:50.480
your education. That could be pretty disruptive. Maybe that would
1031
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:52.639
get to a point where smartphones are kind of unnecessary
1032
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:56.920
because you can just do everything on your own. But
1033
00:54:57.119 --> 00:54:58.920
I don't think that's going to happen in the near term.
1034
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:03.360
I think we're way far away from anything that requires
1035
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:08.639
surgery to become mainstream. Smartphones are just so marketable. They're
1036
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:11.000
so easy to distribute. You can just build them and
1037
00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:13.280
then you ship them, and then people take them out
1038
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.480
of the box and set them up. It's very simple
1039
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:19.039
relative to something that you would have to surgically implant
1040
00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:22.400
through someone's skull and everything. But no, I don't think
1041
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.840
it'll be an AI product. I don't think it'll be
1042
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:26.360
a tablet. I don't think it'll be a watch. I
1043
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:28.800
don't think it'll be a ring. I don't think it'll
1044
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:31.039
be glasses. I think that there will be for a
1045
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:34.599
long long time computers in the shape of rectangles that
1046
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:38.199
go in our pockets. That's just way too practical. Anything
1047
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:43.960
with surgical tech has to be yeah, extremely regulated, very
1048
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:47.519
very hard to iron out the kinks and iron out
1049
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:49.960
the testing, the sampling of it and getting to the
1050
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:51.800
point where you can market it and have lots of
1051
00:55:51.800 --> 00:55:54.840
people just line up and get it done within a day. Yeah,
1052
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.239
we're decades away from that. Possibly might never see that
1053
00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:01.079
in my lifetime. And I'm okay with that, because I'm
1054
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:03.599
not sure it'd be something i'd be on board with doing.
1055
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:09.599
I did a video a long time ago. I'm trying
1056
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:11.000
to remember what it was called, but I did a
1057
00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:16.039
video on this channel about neuralink. It was like the
1058
00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:20.880
dangers of the danger, the scary reality of neuralink that
1059
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.079
all I remember is the thumbnail, which was you are outdated,
1060
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.840
And I said, it's not that scary to imagine, in
1061
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.679
my opinion, a situation where that goes wrong, because that's
1062
00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:34.920
where everyone's mind goes when I tell them about, oh,
1063
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:38.639
we should you know, maybe one day we'll implant neuro
1064
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:41.000
chips into our brain so that we can have this
1065
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:44.960
infinite knowledge and infinite capability. I was like, if something
1066
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.480
goes wrong with that, like it fries someone's brain and
1067
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:50.480
it kills them, or it you know, causes problems, it
1068
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.320
would get shut down so fast. It's the easiest thing
1069
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:55.880
in the world to just like, Okay, anybody who has
1070
00:56:55.920 --> 00:56:59.159
that chip disconnect the power, or go to a surgery
1071
00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:02.000
place and how them remove it. Or of course anybody
1072
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:05.800
who doesn't have it installed in their brain, they will
1073
00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:07.840
never get it installed. And of course even if it
1074
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.079
was proven to be safe and reliable and consistent, there
1075
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.360
would still be a crap ton of people that would
1076
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:17.559
never do it just out of principle, like something goes
1077
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:20.000
wrong with that technology. I'm not that worried. I'm not
1078
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:23.360
that scared. What you should be scared of is if
1079
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:27.559
it goes perfectly. That's more intimidating to me. If it
1080
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:31.880
works and there's no problems, that's actually terrifying because it
1081
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:36.239
means that as the technology progresses and gets better and improves,
1082
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:43.360
it's going to reach a point where you kind of
1083
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:47.480
have to have it. Because if it fundamentally changed education
1084
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:49.599
to the point where you didn't have to go to
1085
00:57:49.639 --> 00:57:53.079
school for four years to learn how to do mechanical
1086
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:55.639
engineering or to know how to play an intricate instrument.
1087
00:57:55.920 --> 00:57:59.440
Now you could just install this one chip and suddenly
1088
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:02.320
you know how to do all these things. You're way
1089
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:04.719
ahead of people that choose not to install the chip.
1090
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:07.239
Not even saying it'd be mandated, it wouldn't even be
1091
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:09.480
required by the government that you get this chip. But
1092
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:12.679
the people who are willing to install that chip are
1093
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:16.679
going to be at a severe significant advantage against everybody
1094
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:20.199
who doesn't, and then you basically have no choice in
1095
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.679
order to have a competitive edge in the workforce or
1096
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.239
to be able to contribute anything, really, you're gonna have
1097
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:27.599
to have those chips. And then we won't be thinking
1098
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:29.840
for ourselves anymore. We can just have the computer do
1099
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.199
all the thinking for us, so it going well and
1100
00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:36.400
not having any major issues. That's more terrifying to me.
1101
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:39.440
But yeah, and then you'll get ads in your brain
1102
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:44.000
or it'll just influence your opinion, be like, oh, I
1103
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:46.639
guess I want Jack in the Box today because Jack
1104
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.239
in the Box paid money to put that desire and
1105
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.280
everyone's neurally it would be it would be creepy, it
1106
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:55.519
would be scary, for sure. Brain implant technology would be
1107
00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:57.480
very interesting. Hopefully this would come in our lifetime, but
1108
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.880
I doubtity. Yeah, there's already implant stuff for people who
1109
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:04.440
have neurological issues, but to get to the point where
1110
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:08.559
it's just being implanted for convenience reasons, I don't I
1111
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:12.960
don't think so, probably not in my lifetime. Maybe at
1112
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:15.360
the very very end of my life, I'll start seeing
1113
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:17.760
that and go, yep, not for me. I'm out no
1114
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:19.960
more of this. Do you think chips like that could
1115
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.519
be banned? Oh easily. I wouldn't be shocked if many
1116
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:26.679
places banned them. But the places that don't ban them
1117
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:31.679
are probably going to start developing superhumans with infinite intelligence,
1118
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:37.480
you know. But you asked more than that question. You
1119
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:41.320
also asked kind of an interesting one. Nicholas said, if
1120
00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:43.519
something was to happen to our grid, how exactly do
1121
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:47.559
you see Americans reacting? There would be panic and riots
1122
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:49.320
in the streets if it was out for a long
1123
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:51.360
period of time, meaning find out it's going to be
1124
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:54.360
at least six months. Yeah, people would straight up die.
1125
00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:57.559
I don't think people are realizing. I mean, it'd be
1126
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.559
one thing. If you said the internet, that would be
1127
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:04.079
a bit more. Okay, we could survive without the internet.
1128
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:06.840
It would just kind of force people to connect with
1129
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:08.960
their local communities a bit more, and it would break
1130
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:11.880
a lot of supply chain stuff. But with no power,
1131
01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:16.599
our whole food and water system starts falling apart. We
1132
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:19.840
need electricity for pumping all kinds of stuff like that.
1133
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.519
And for keeping food cold and for keeping it from
1134
01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:26.199
going bad. You know, a guy like me who relies
1135
01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:28.440
on electricity to drive my car, I'd be screwed. But
1136
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.559
guess what, even the people who require gasoline to operate
1137
01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:35.320
their vehicles, you need electricity to pump gasoline out of
1138
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:38.239
the ground and into your car. So yeah, it would
1139
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:40.199
cause all kinds of problems if it was just out
1140
01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:42.079
for a week. But thankfully the grid is kind of
1141
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:45.039
designed with all this redundancy in mind, all these power stations,
1142
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:49.480
to the point that you wouldn't really it'd be very
1143
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.400
hard to just knock out all power for months. There's
1144
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.760
like EMP stuff that could happen, but that would be
1145
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:59.119
short term electronic knockout. That wouldn't be like months and
1146
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:03.000
months of power outages. The TikTok kids will lose it
1147
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:07.440
after five days. Oh well, social media like their attention span.
1148
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:09.920
I'm not even worried about that. That would be. That
1149
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:12.519
would be the least of my concerns. The bigger problem
1150
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:16.079
would be food. Our whole food supply chain, our whole
1151
01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:18.960
water supply chain, so much of that is dependent on electricity,
1152
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:23.320
And as soon as you knock out a grid, most
1153
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:26.400
people do not grow, you know, their own food. I
1154
01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:29.480
would say like ninety five plus percent of the population
1155
01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:32.440
gets their food from grocery stores or from restaurants or
1156
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:35.519
you know, places that are power and electricity dependent for
1157
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:39.360
moving around. And if you don't have you know, electricity
1158
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:42.000
to pump fuel, that means no semi trucks. If you
1159
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.880
don't have semi trucks moving around cargo, then that means
1160
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.199
the grocery stores can't get restocked. And also all the
1161
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:50.039
food and supplies that the grocery stores have is going
1162
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:52.719
to go bad much faster because they can't keep it cold,
1163
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:58.519
they can't keep it refrigerated. Called thunderstorms. Yeah, I mean
1164
01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:01.800
there's some more control the MP stuff. That would be scary,
1165
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:05.719
but it wouldn't be a six month outage thing. Yeah.
1166
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:07.960
Power is different than just internet. Without internet, we in
1167
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:10.639
theory could manage, but without power for a long time, yeah,
1168
01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:14.639
we're screwed. Yeah, power would probably result in many people
1169
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:20.159
just starving to death. Within a month. You would run
1170
01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:22.519
out of food. It'd be very quick because most people
1171
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:25.039
that are eating, especially in big cities, they rely so
1172
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:28.639
much on imported goods that you suddenly wouldn't be able
1173
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:34.360
to rely on anymore in the communication problems. But yeah,
1174
01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:37.159
a lot of people have battery storage and off grid stuff.
1175
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:39.480
I guess they might be okay, but a lot of
1176
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:42.119
the grid isn't prepared for that. Wouldn't be prepared for that.
1177
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:45.079
So I don't know what scenario you're imagining. But thankfully,
1178
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:48.480
there's not just one power station in all of America
1179
01:02:48.559 --> 01:02:51.760
that provides all of the power. There's thousands of power
1180
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:54.920
plants and different things that are providing power to the grid.
1181
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:57.199
It's not a very easy thing to just shut off.
1182
01:02:57.440 --> 01:02:59.800
There's not one switch. There's not one place in the
1183
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:04.719
tree that could just get bombed or get There's not
1184
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:06.760
one switch that you could flip that would shut off
1185
01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:08.960
the power to the whole country. You lose power from
1186
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:11.280
one power plant, you can pull it from another power plant.
1187
01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:14.199
You know. That happens all the time. AnyWho. That's kind
1188
01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:16.280
of a fun thing to imagine. But I'm not one
1189
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:18.639
of those doomsday prepper kind of people. I'm like, h
1190
01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:21.480
if the whole world was coming to an end, I
1191
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.239
wouldn't try. I don't want bunkers in my yard, and
1192
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.440
I'm not stocking up on beans. Because the idea that
1193
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:29.559
everyone's just going to turn into nomads. Now, it'd be
1194
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:32.639
mad Max. You would lose one government and then another,
1195
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:35.599
probably tyrannical one would rise, and then you would be
1196
01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:39.760
a slave to that one, and then there'd be another system.
1197
01:03:39.880 --> 01:03:43.280
Humans just do that naturally. Humans like are attracted to power.
1198
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:46.480
I don't see a situation where just like everybody's independently
1199
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:49.519
taking care of themselves. No, there would be another group,
1200
01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:52.840
another gang that gets together and says we're in charge. Here,
1201
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.199
we're the new leaders. I'm the new king of the land,
1202
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:57.400
and you have to pay me taxes and I'll provide
1203
01:03:57.400 --> 01:03:59.960
you protection. And then the whole thing just starts over again.
1204
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.159
I just I'm not that kind of guy. A solar flare.
1205
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.920
A solar flare could fry all electronic devices globally one day.
1206
01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:09.800
We simply don't have the ability to make our tech
1207
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:13.320
resistant enough. That's true, it's possible. It hasn't happened yet.
1208
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.079
But it wouldn't end all electricity. It would just break
1209
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:22.000
a lot of things. Thankfully we can work with that.
1210
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:26.920
More people should be more energy independent from the power grid. Yeah,
1211
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.519
but it's all just a debate of how off grid
1212
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:33.119
do you want to be? I mean, you could easily say, Okay,
1213
01:04:33.159 --> 01:04:35.480
all my electricity is taken care of. But okay, where's
1214
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:38.800
your water supply? Okay, now you got to switch to
1215
01:04:38.840 --> 01:04:41.760
well water. Okay, where's your food supply? Okay, you have beans,
1216
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:43.880
but you can't have infinite food supply. You can only
1217
01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:45.880
buy it for so long. Okay. If you have a
1218
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:48.039
really really big bunker with a lot of food and
1219
01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:50.039
a lot of amo and a lot of resources, now
1220
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:52.840
you're a target. Now in the end of the world situation.
1221
01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:54.679
You have a lot of resources. People are gonna want
1222
01:04:54.679 --> 01:04:57.159
that from you, so you put a bigger target on
1223
01:04:57.159 --> 01:04:59.719
your back. So there's all kinds of risk. Nothing is guaranteed.
1224
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:05.800
You know, live life like there's no tomorrow. Just enjoy yourselves,
1225
01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:09.599
be responsible. I guess I'm not saying like, spend all
1226
01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:11.400
your money. It's good to have savings, it's good to
1227
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:14.199
prepare for retirement and that kind of thing. But yeah,
1228
01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:17.000
I'm not one of those doomsday prepper people. I'm like, well,
1229
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:21.119
if there's all out nuclear war, then I'm just giving up.
1230
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:24.559
At that point. I work in a warehouse. We already
1231
01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:27.000
have a lot of bad communication. Oh yeah, it could
1232
01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:30.880
get worse. But people, I just like to remind people
1233
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:33.880
of this. People have theorized about the end of the
1234
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:37.440
world since the beginning of time. As long as humans
1235
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:40.119
have existed, there has been a fear that the whole
1236
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:45.400
world will end, and we keep theorizing it. Talk to
1237
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:48.079
older folks, talk to people in their sixties and seventies,
1238
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:49.719
and ask them, was there ever a time when you
1239
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:53.400
were younger when people thought the world was going to Heck? Yeah,
1240
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.320
especially during the Great Wars, and then after that, you know,
1241
01:05:56.360 --> 01:06:00.639
when other countries, foreign entity started getting nuclear power. Everyone
1242
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:03.000
was that. They were watching videos and schools about how
1243
01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:06.679
to take cover in case of a nuclear attack. They
1244
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:09.679
were prepared. They were theorizing world's gonna end, We're going
1245
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:12.880
to be in a nuclear war, nuclear fallout. For decades,
1246
01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.519
people buying bunkers, people were preparing for the worst. We
1247
01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:18.719
keep theorizing how it's gonna end. Oh, this is going
1248
01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:20.119
to happen, There's going to be tensions here in the
1249
01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:22.760
world's going to All those years have gone by, still
1250
01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:26.360
hasn't really happened yet. Though it's not a new idea,
1251
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:28.559
it's not a new theory that oh, what if this
1252
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:32.119
all falls apart. It's like, yeah, it could, but so
1253
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:37.559
far it hasn't. Yeah y two K twenty twelve. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
1254
01:06:37.639 --> 01:06:41.119
it's always been theorized that, Yeah, the Mayan calendar thing
1255
01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:44.880
is super old. We literally need power for our society
1256
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:47.000
to function. Without Internet, yeat, it would be chaos for
1257
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.159
a while, but after a while we could manage. The
1258
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:52.280
Internet's relatively new. That's why I say we could manage it.
1259
01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:56.639
You know that the only reason humanity's population has been
1260
01:06:56.679 --> 01:06:58.400
able to grow as big as it is is because
1261
01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.119
of having a reliable, consistent you know, we have hospitals
1262
01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:04.679
that can help people in emergencies, and that technology and
1263
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:07.280
that power has helped us develop medicines and how to
1264
01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:09.760
take care of people who get sick. And you know,
1265
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:14.639
the Internet wasn't really a thing up until thirty years ago,
1266
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:18.599
if even very very basic internet in the nineties there
1267
01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:23.760
was not much. But there was still billions of peoples
1268
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:27.199
on Earth in nineteen seventy nineteen eighty. So that's why
1269
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:29.679
I say, yeah, we can live without the Internet. It's
1270
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:32.599
a little inconvenient. We've got to rely more on snail
1271
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:34.480
mail and that kind of thing, but it's doable. But
1272
01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:40.639
no society without electricity, without power, No, we've never been
1273
01:07:40.679 --> 01:07:44.199
able to support a population on the planet with eight
1274
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:47.679
billion people without electricity. The only reason we're able to
1275
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:49.960
do that is because we have technology that's able to
1276
01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:53.760
move food and preserve food long enough to get it
1277
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:55.800
to transport to where people are needed. You know, think
1278
01:07:55.840 --> 01:07:58.400
of people who are living in those big apartment buildings
1279
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:02.559
in New York City or Chicago. Do you think they're
1280
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:05.880
getting all their food from local farmers. No. If they
1281
01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:08.199
had no way to transport all of that food that
1282
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:12.800
all these people are living in that one place, it
1283
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:17.840
would starve to death so quickly. My old high school
1284
01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:20.039
literally had a bomb shelter. It was later destroyed by
1285
01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:25.119
a tornado fourteen years ago. That's not good. Didn't know
1286
01:08:25.199 --> 01:08:27.479
you weren't a conspiracy theorist. I see how the world
1287
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:29.640
has its problems politically. I feel like the Internet has
1288
01:08:29.640 --> 01:08:32.560
influenced things negatively. COVID has shown me to prepare for unexpected.
1289
01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:36.000
It's always good to prepare. But I just don't think
1290
01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:38.720
you should live your life in fear. Don't live your
1291
01:08:38.760 --> 01:08:42.720
life expecting the world to end, because again, people have
1292
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:45.279
theorized the world that's going to end for as long
1293
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:48.800
as humanity has been capable of writing things, even on
1294
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:52.920
cave paintings. We theorized the end of the world, and
1295
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:54.720
there's been a lot of bad things that have happened,
1296
01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:58.319
but so far it hasn't. In fact, we have a
1297
01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:01.359
lot better technology now than it can protect us in
1298
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:04.760
ways that were never possible before. You know, I've talked
1299
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:06.760
to some older folks in my time that were like,
1300
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:09.680
there was a lot more hostility. There was a lot
1301
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:12.000
more physical fights back in the day because there weren't
1302
01:09:12.079 --> 01:09:18.159
cameras everywhere. Now, anywhere you go in public, people start fighting,
1303
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:21.000
people start pushing each other. You immediately got eight people
1304
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:24.640
in the surrounding area with a four K camera in
1305
01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:27.399
their pocket that just whip it out in one second. Boom,
1306
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:30.239
They catch everything you're doing at sixty frames a second
1307
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:35.359
in glorious four K. That wasn't a that wasn't a
1308
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:38.920
thing a few decades ago. Could be a big fight,
1309
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.560
there could be a bar fighteror you know, people harassing
1310
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:43.960
you and there it would never be caught on camera.
1311
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:47.039
There would be no evidence that had happened. It would
1312
01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:51.319
be your word against the aggressors. You know, there's all
1313
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:53.439
kinds of things that you know, we can call the
1314
01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:57.159
police or call emergency services faster and easier than ever before.
1315
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:00.840
It's on our watches now, we've got technology in our
1316
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:03.760
newer phones that will automatically call the police if it
1317
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:08.680
detects a car crash, or watches that will automatically call
1318
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:11.439
the police if it detects a fall. There's all kinds
1319
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:14.600
of more safety systems and more checks and balances we
1320
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:17.640
have as a society than we've ever had. So while
1321
01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:21.520
it may appear, thanks to social media giving everybody a megaphone,
1322
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:24.479
it may appear like we're dumber and stupider than ever before,
1323
01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:27.079
but the truth is we're just better at documenting our
1324
01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:30.319
stupidity than ever before. There's all kinds of stupid things
1325
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:34.680
that probably old presidents and old people said long before
1326
01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:37.640
we had a way to tweet it out, but you
1327
01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:41.760
just never heard fifty probably you never heard ninety percent
1328
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:46.680
of what people said. Nowadays, any passing, fleeting thought you
1329
01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:51.560
had on a random Tuesday is immortalized on the Internet forever.
1330
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:56.000
So the documentation of our stupidity is better than ever before.
1331
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.560
That doesn't make us necessarily stupider than we've ever been.
1332
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:03.239
If the bombs drop some bunker won't save you anything,
1333
01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:05.560
that you could build would get destroyed immediately, so no
1334
01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:07.359
point digging. And I also just I don't want to
1335
01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:11.680
live in that life. What I have dreams and hopes about.
1336
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:14.000
You know, me and me and my wife are you know,
1337
01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:17.239
generally pretty happy. We enjoy our lives. We enjoy our jobs,
1338
01:11:17.279 --> 01:11:20.279
and we have fun, and we like traveling places, and
1339
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:22.600
we like trying new foods, and we like visiting friends
1340
01:11:22.600 --> 01:11:26.600
and family. And if all of that dissolved a way
1341
01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:29.119
because of some nuclear war and now we're just living
1342
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:34.399
in a windowless tank underground, eating beans out of a can.
1343
01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:39.960
You want me to do that for fifty years? No, No,
1344
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.520
I'll go out with the bomb, That's okay. I'd rather
1345
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:47.199
just get taken out by the shockwave and just enjoy
1346
01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:50.359
the life I had in the in the before that
1347
01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:53.720
took place. So that's what I never understood personally about
1348
01:11:53.760 --> 01:12:01.239
everybody talking about like everybody talking about like, oh yeah,
1349
01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:04.000
I'm gonna stalk up a bunker and I'll survive in
1350
01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:08.039
the in the apocalypse, And I'm like, I don't. I
1351
01:12:08.039 --> 01:12:12.159
don't want to live in that world. That doesn't sound
1352
01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:17.000
fun to me. Just live in some tiny little bunker
1353
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:19.119
and you can't go anywhere and you can't eat anything
1354
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:22.760
other than what you've stocked up. That's okay, that's okay.
1355
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.359
I'll just let the blast take care of me. That's
1356
01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:29.600
it's just humanity's done at that point. That's okay. You know, humanity.
1357
01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:37.439
There's there's good things in humanity, but we're kind of cringe. Sorry,
1358
01:12:37.479 --> 01:12:41.560
sometimes I make myself laugh. I don't know. Sometimes I
1359
01:12:41.640 --> 01:12:46.199
just imagine, uh, an earth that's just nature and just animals,
1360
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:52.880
just plants and trees and oceans, and there's no people anywhere. Hey,
1361
01:12:53.560 --> 01:12:58.159
a world without humanity means a world without dollar generals
1362
01:12:58.199 --> 01:13:06.520
and the gas station and McDonald's in gas stations, an
1363
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:09.880
oil drilling where we have just oil and fumes spewing
1364
01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:16.159
out everywhere is kind of grit. Just imagine a green
1365
01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:22.079
planet with oceans. And I'm not saying we should all,
1366
01:13:22.199 --> 01:13:25.159
you know, be dead. You know, we exist in Anybody
1367
01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:27.199
who's alive, I say, has a right to be alive.
1368
01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:30.640
Good for you, you know, Let's do the best to
1369
01:13:30.760 --> 01:13:32.560
take care of each other and take care of the planet,
1370
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:36.840
and treaty torother with grace and kindliness, and let's be
1371
01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:40.600
polite with each other. I'm saying, let's make the best
1372
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:42.840
of the situation. But like a situation where we're just
1373
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:49.079
all gone, it's not terrible if it's out of our control.
1374
01:13:49.800 --> 01:13:52.720
You know, if it's possible for us to coexist, that'd
1375
01:13:52.760 --> 01:13:57.000
be cool. But and a billion year's the only thing
1376
01:13:57.079 --> 01:14:00.800
left will be crabs. That sounds like a pretty cool planet.
1377
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:04.479
This is just crammed because humans are mean to each other, right,
1378
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:06.520
So like, the more humans there are, the more pain
1379
01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:10.479
we can inflict. But if there were no humans, there
1380
01:14:10.479 --> 01:14:14.159
would be no pain. In a way, I guess there
1381
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:16.840
would be no life, human life at least, maybe there'd
1382
01:14:16.840 --> 01:14:20.119
be plant life. But I don't know. We're getting existential here.
1383
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:23.720
Elizabeth just dropped a good quote in the chat. I
1384
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:26.279
know not with what weapons World War III will be fought,
1385
01:14:26.319 --> 01:14:28.880
but World War four will be fought with sticks and stones.
1386
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:35.239
Albert Einstein. Good quote, Very interesting, very interesting. Dylan White's
1387
01:14:35.239 --> 01:14:37.000
I agree, let the bombs take me out, But that's
1388
01:14:37.039 --> 01:14:40.720
because I'm depressed. I'm not depressed. I just think the
1389
01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:44.520
idea of surviving a nuclear attack sounds more depressing than
1390
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:47.520
just dying in the attack. Dying in the attack would
1391
01:14:47.560 --> 01:14:53.760
be two seconds of very uncomfortable feelings. You'd be a
1392
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:59.680
little bit. You'd be in pain for about five seconds
1393
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:04.720
and then it'd be over. But I could tolerate like
1394
01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:09.479
the worst imaginable pain for five seconds. But having to
1395
01:15:09.640 --> 01:15:14.520
just live in complete isolation for decades that doesn't sound fun.
1396
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:19.239
That sounds pretty hard. So humans try to survive, and
1397
01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:21.359
there are evolutionary things that make us behave the way
1398
01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:23.079
we do. We'll probably never get that out of us.
1399
01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:25.600
That's true, there will probably be humans that survive. I'm
1400
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:27.800
just saying I wouldn't be the one trying very hard.
1401
01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:32.720
The whole civilized world ended from nuclear warfare, I would
1402
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:35.840
just be like, all right, I'm out. World didn't go
1403
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:39.119
too well, but I had fun while it lasted. I
1404
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:41.560
met a lot of people. I made a lot of friends.
1405
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:45.640
I enjoyed lots of good meals. I had fun. Thanks,
1406
01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:52.880
I'm out. Earth healed a bit with COVID. Oh good.
1407
01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:55.199
Did the new iPad Mini or Apple Intelligence start this
1408
01:15:55.439 --> 01:16:00.720
existential apocalyptic conversation? No? Nicholas lynthecom asked to pretty interesting
1409
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.800
question that kind of got the chat. Talking about a
1410
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:06.680
world where there's no electricity, what would happen? And I
1411
01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:09.359
basically just said, yeah, most people would die. In the
1412
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:13.399
world would pretty much end if we lost all electricity.
1413
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.720
There'd be a few survivors. It's kind of like that
1414
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:20.119
one TV show, What was that called I Forget? There
1415
01:16:20.119 --> 01:16:23.159
was a TV show way back that there was a
1416
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:28.520
scenario where all electricity on Earth stopped. Working farmers would
1417
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:30.960
probably do better people who have access to food and
1418
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.920
know how to grow their own food. Humans aren't great
1419
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:42.159
beings with that evolutionary comment. Oh well, I don't think
1420
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:47.720
we're good or evil. We're just kind of there be
1421
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:49.640
well versed in the weapons of your time. Yeah, if
1422
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:52.159
you want to fight other human beings for resources, I
1423
01:16:52.199 --> 01:16:54.720
don't want to do that. That doesn't sound fun. So
1424
01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:57.239
you're telling me I spend all this money on a
1425
01:16:57.239 --> 01:17:01.560
bunker on weapons, So that a hypothetical future where all
1426
01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:03.760
my dreams are gone. I can't travel, I can't go
1427
01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:06.680
to fun restaurants. I can't visit my friends and family anymore.
1428
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:09.000
I am just stuck where I am, and I have
1429
01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:13.840
to shoot at other human beings to protect my beans.
1430
01:17:15.079 --> 01:17:16.960
That doesn't sound fun. I don't want to shoot at
1431
01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:20.159
other people, even if they're mean people. It just I
1432
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:25.359
don't It doesn't sound like an enjoyable life. Big Tugs
1433
01:17:25.399 --> 01:17:28.319
video and every reason why space is horrifying for zooming out,
1434
01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:32.079
you know, bigger problems for a perspective adjustment. Yeah, space
1435
01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:33.960
is horrifying. I don't need to watch a video on
1436
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:36.560
that to know that. Yeah, that's quite terrifying. There was
1437
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:40.800
another comment that someone asked over on telosiv ev, but
1438
01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:43.039
it was a tech question, so I guess I'll answer
1439
01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:45.279
it here. I'm not sure if they're listening, but someone
1440
01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:47.600
asked if I still have my AirPods for I do not.
1441
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:51.479
I'm on AirPods Pro first generation. I'm waiting for these
1442
01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:55.399
things to die before I replace them. Fight people to survive?
1443
01:17:55.479 --> 01:17:59.039
Hell no, not worthy. Yeah, I'm with Dylan. I'm like, nah,
1444
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:01.239
if there will to come at me and try to
1445
01:18:01.319 --> 01:18:07.279
kill me for my food, they probably deserve it. Personal
1446
01:18:07.399 --> 01:18:10.479
feel like an excided humans became more separated. I think
1447
01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:13.279
he probably meant nature. He probably meant like, you know,
1448
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:18.000
the atmosphere got cleaner. There were less people, you know,
1449
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:21.840
being mean to each other. Now online we were being
1450
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:26.000
mean to each other, but that's easier to control. That's
1451
01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:28.079
just what we do now. Survive with other people competing
1452
01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:31.439
with you for space and resources. Yeah, it's a little
1453
01:18:31.479 --> 01:18:33.359
bit more pleasant this way because we're a little bit
1454
01:18:33.399 --> 01:18:36.560
more polite about it. But yeah, if all the politeness
1455
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:38.439
went away and it just turned into I kill you,
1456
01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:42.119
I get your thing, then no, thanks. I don't need
1457
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:47.079
to live in that world. That's fine, but yeah, it's
1458
01:18:47.159 --> 01:18:49.159
kind of fun. I know these live streams go off
1459
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.520
the rails occasionally, but that was interesting. That was a
1460
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:55.000
fun topic. Thanks for asking. And no, I don't have
1461
01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:56.920
my AirPods for I'm waiting for them to either go
1462
01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:00.680
on sale or I might consider some over because I'm
1463
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:04.039
kind of getting sick of these earbuds going bad after
1464
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:05.560
so many years. I just want to buy one pair
1465
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:07.640
of headphones and have it last a while. That would
1466
01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:10.960
be refreshing. But I appreciate the questions. It's fun chatting
1467
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:15.960
with you all, and I look forward to talking to
1468
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:18.760
you all very soon. Hopefully we get some new Max
1469
01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:21.039
in the morning. Then we'll be back to our regularly
