Tailosive Tech February Q&A!

WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:07.879
It has been a minute. Apologies for the tidiness, ladies
2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.480
and gentlemen, but we are back. I cannot confirm whether
3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.519
these will be a regular recurrence segment, but I thought
4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.239
maybe a slightly more achievable goal than doing a couple
5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.760
streams a week would be just doing at least one
6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.359
stream a month. And because oftentimes in the past when
7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.480
I would do these streams, people would see the title
8
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.800
and thumbnail and expect me to only talk about that
9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.119
for the entire duration of the stream, obviously that almost
10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.640
never happens. So I just figured, you know what, maybe
11
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.520
we'll just try a monthly Q and A. Let you
12
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.119
guys dictate the questions, let you guys come up with
13
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.600
what to talk about, and instead of me having to
14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.640
try to guess what you're interested in, you guys can
15
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.320
just tell me what you're interested in. Sound good? All right?
16
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.439
We are so back. My favorite tech? How do we sound?
17
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.799
I know in the past I've had a lot of
18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.679
issues in regards to stream quality and that kind of thing.
19
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.000
I guess I am experimenting. YouTube's changed a few things
20
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.519
with streaming as well, where they have like a automatic
21
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:16.000
short conversion mode, which is interesting. So I guess there's
22
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.400
a way to like watch this uh vertically if you choose,
23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.879
which is kind of interesting. Sound is good. Good to
24
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.120
see you alive. Hey Dan, you're still a member. I
25
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.439
thought you were canceling. I have no problem with people
26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.920
canceling memberships. By the way, just as a reminder, this
27
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.799
saying' even my full time job no more so this
28
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.799
is all for funsies at this point, Glad it sounds good.
29
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.959
A dow a Doug has been a member for thirty
30
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.959
seven months. Has been a minute since I've joined alive.
31
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.519
It's been a minute since I've done alive. But yeah,
32
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.319
so is this ask tayloesive reimagine? Yeah? I guess that
33
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.959
was the old terminology we used to call it, ask tlosive,
34
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.519
didn't we Thoughts on smart glasses like Meta ray bands.
35
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.680
I'm fascinated by them and I haven't had time to
36
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.719
check out Meta. Sorry, I probably should check them out
37
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.040
at some point. Oh wow. DJ Thornton has been a
38
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.400
member for seventy three months, and he says I'll actually
39
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.319
be able to catch a few minutes. I need to
40
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.800
make some new badges because he's been around for a
41
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.840
long long time. Seventy three months of support. Holy crap,
42
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.080
no one's going to beat that. I genuinely think that
43
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.639
is the next evolution in tech as far as like
44
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.599
consumer grade wearables, like relatively affordable tech. Obviously, I'm very
45
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.919
passionate and excited about the ev industry, but as regards
46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.800
to like tech that we wear, tech that Apple might
47
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.599
actually make, so there's a chance of me covering it
48
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.599
on this channel. Yeah, I do think that's kind of
49
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.400
the next big ish thing. WHOA, Okay, the animation still
50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.280
work with the new setup. That's good to know. Team
51
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.240
flower nin has been a member for fifty months. Are
52
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.360
you planning to get the iphold? I'll definitely be checking
53
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.800
them out. I'll definitely be reviewing them. But like I've
54
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.879
said in previous streams and videos, I don't commit to
55
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.960
buying and keeping until we know more about the product.
56
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.879
The product's not out yet, so it's hard to come
57
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.080
up with a definitive like yes or no. Oh yeah,
58
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.719
dj I remember you you were on the brief but
59
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.080
awesome Telos of Space podcast. Of course, I know you've
60
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.719
been around a long, long long time. Tesla's Apple and
61
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.360
Rivian is Android. Yeah, I think I like Rivian more
62
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.719
than Android. I don't know. Rivian feels very closed off
63
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.919
so far, like Rivian doesn't support car player Android Auto,
64
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.039
so I don't think that example is perfectly symmetrical. But yeah,
65
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.400
I see what people are going for in videos. Self
66
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.080
drive is more like Android. It's like the open source
67
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.479
self driving. Rivian's trying to do their own self driving
68
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.599
kind of in house and everything. Yeah, Burtgard's back. I'm
69
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.840
realizing now that there's a new icon for moderators. It's
70
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.120
been so long misdoing those with Nick. Yes, absolutely, this
71
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.199
is rare. And before I forget Mike, I think from
72
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.039
Mike in the woods message before the live stream began,
73
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.080
he said, it's a shame you don't cover stuff in
74
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.199
the Android space. In my opinion, Android is really going
75
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.160
to heat up this year for gaming. For one, really
76
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.160
not a gamer on any platform including mobile. There's just
77
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.240
no time for gaming anymore for me. But even when
78
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.759
I had time, I didn't spend that much to the gaming.
79
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.439
But I feel like YouTube makes it fairly difficult to
80
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.720
pivot in any kind of different direction. So I know
81
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.879
it's not the same with all platforms, but at least
82
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.879
in my experience with YouTube, anytime you try to cover
83
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.360
something that is remotely even slightly different from what you're
84
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.519
used to covering, it gets buried. They don't recommend it
85
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.639
as much, and your subscribers aren't gonna watch it as frequently.
86
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.399
So I have certainly tried. You know, last year I
87
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.600
reviewed the Pixel nine pro fold. We talked about some
88
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.560
of the flow ships here and there, but statistically, I
89
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.399
just have to look at the numbers and here's what
90
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.519
works and here's what doesn't work. For me. As much
91
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.920
as I've tried in the past reviewing Android phones, it
92
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.639
never quite works out unless there's really something meaty to
93
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.160
bite into. I think a lot of you guys remember
94
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.000
me from the Pixel rant days, specifically because of how
95
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.040
bad those phones were. The early Pixels were just horrible.
96
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.279
But all that being said, genuinely honest here not trying
97
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.560
to say this to get into team Pixel, because I'm sorry,
98
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.920
I'm not going I'm not going to Android anymore. I've
99
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.759
got way too many accounts logged into my iPhone now
100
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.519
to the point that, yeah, but I'm not switching to Android. Sorry,
101
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.560
that ship is sale. That's not gonna iOS twenty six sucks,
102
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.879
by the way, I hate I was twenty six with
103
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.800
the passion of a thousand suns. But I'm not going
104
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.959
to Android because it's just way too much work. I
105
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.959
don't got time for that. There's so much ecosystem involvement.
106
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.639
So I'm I'm a rebellious sheep. I'm gonna follow Apple
107
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.399
wherever they want me to. I'm going to buy what
108
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:13.120
they want me to buy. But simultaneously, I'm gonna complain.
109
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.120
I'm gonna I'm gonna be upset the whole time, but
110
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.199
I'm gonna like a like an annoying child. I'm just
111
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.319
gonna complain during the whole road trip that I'm tired
112
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.040
and I'm hungry and i want to go. You still
113
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.879
watch the pixel Slate review occasionally, So yeah, I think
114
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.560
the reason that worked, Like I've been following Apple obviously
115
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.399
as the as the dominant topic of this channel for
116
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.199
the longest time, and with the occasional offshoots, occasionally we
117
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.519
talk about internet service or occasionally we talk about an
118
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.720
Android phone that I'm interested in here and there. It's
119
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.319
not a lot, I give you that. But the reason
120
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.439
I think those pixel rant days and those pixel Slate
121
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.639
reviews did so well is because even though they were
122
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:02.560
about the pixel hardware, it. It was still underlining, like
123
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.160
it was still how do I what's the word? It
124
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.160
was still marketed in a sense towards Apple sheep because
125
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.639
when I reviewed Android phones that were bad and there
126
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.360
were plenty of material, there was plenty of material to
127
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.199
work with. It was like, look how laggy this is,
128
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.360
Look how expensive this is, and look how overheated this gets.
129
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.000
It's like all of that contributed to Okay, therefore Apple
130
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.839
is better. So I don't know if that many Android
131
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.680
people were actually watching it or finding it that valuable,
132
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:37.680
but I do think that, like the most successful Android
133
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.000
reviews on this channel were the ones where I was
134
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.639
being very negative towards it, but I would argue rightfully so.
135
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.199
Especially in the early days, the pixel phones were pretty atrocious,
136
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.720
but as time went on, they got much much better
137
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.759
and I got more positive towards Pixel phones, and the
138
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.600
views didn't do as well because it was like, well,
139
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.439
this doesn't fit the thesis. YouTube didn't know what to
140
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.439
do with those videos because they were like, well, what
141
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.720
this guy's really good at is talk about what he
142
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.959
loves with Apple products and how Android sucks. Therefore Apple's better,
143
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.519
and so we keep pushing that. And once you start
144
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.240
making videos that don't fit into that thesis. YouTube's like
145
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.079
I don't. I don't know who to send this to
146
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.600
because the Apple sheep normally watch it don't like it
147
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.600
as much. I ended up buying an M five Vision
148
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.519
pro ev't used to pledge. Holy crab, Chris Norton is back. Hey,
149
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.920
good to hear from you. You really don't need to
150
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.040
super check. Chris, have some cash thinking of your stomach. Great,
151
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.960
appreciate that, very generous of you. Very kind thoughts on
152
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.639
trading in a fifteen Promax for the iPhone Air ooh w,
153
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:47.039
let's sorry, but why why would you do that? That's
154
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.840
this terrible idea. Your Apple philosophy and how you changed
155
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.480
video is one of the best ones in release. Could
156
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.799
you briefly expand a bit more? Wait? Apple philosophy and
157
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:59.480
how you changed videos? You mean the last video I
158
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:05.759
posted yesterday. I'm not sure how much more to expand
159
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:10.279
on it, but I think that's what you're asking. This
160
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.799
live stream setup is very easy, thankfully, because it's the
161
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.080
exact same setup as when I record my videos. I
162
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.440
just hit stream instead of record, so it's the same microphone.
163
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.039
I'm plugged into the iMac Pro I do think I
164
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.320
should formally, while I'm live right now, and while we
165
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.840
have some channel members watching, I don't. I'm not trying
166
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.759
to trick anybody, but I did update the membership tears
167
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.000
by the way, just to be clear, I don't think
168
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.440
I have time or the logistical power anymore to do
169
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.399
the behind the scenes editing streams. I know I used to,
170
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.919
and they were a lot of fun, and they were
171
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.519
a lot smaller and more intimate, But I just I
172
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.080
have a harder and harder time committing to editing a
173
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.039
video and just doing that for a solid thirty minutes
174
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.600
to an hour. Also, the iMac Pro doesn't handle it
175
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.960
all that well, but it does exactly what I needed
176
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.120
for this sess. This setup of like quickly recording a
177
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.360
ten ADP thirty fps video and editing it. iMac Pro
178
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.600
works great for that, but once you start wanting to
179
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:14.080
live stream yourself as you are recording and editing, that's
180
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.799
when it starts to struggle. And maybe I'll need to
181
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
upgrade and get a new iMac for that. But yeah,
182
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.200
I just I just wanted to clarify that that's probably
183
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.879
not gonna happen anymore until something in life changes. Where
184
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.360
I just have a bunch more free time. But I
185
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.039
don't think that's gonna happen. So I just thought we'd
186
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.840
clear the air. Let's see, move your key light up
187
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.759
so you don't cast a shadow on the wall. Well,
188
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:46.320
where do I put it? It's yeah, I messed around
189
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.879
with a bunch of different lighting things. There's obviously much
190
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.639
fancier hardware I could use that would make everything look
191
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.200
much prettier. I guess I could do it off to
192
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.759
the side a little bit. It makes it a little
193
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.360
bit less distracting, but no, it's it's it's really not
194
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.159
meant to be used for this, to be honest, But
195
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.759
I'm not going for best possible setup. I'm going for
196
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:14.320
can you hear me? Can you see me? Let's see.
197
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.840
This is why you should get an iPhone Air. I
198
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.879
think you would love it. I had an iPhone Air.
199
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.600
Do you guys not remember I had? I reviewed it
200
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.080
on my channel. I was immediately. I cannot emphasize this enough.
201
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.279
The second I picked up the iPhone Air, I was disappointed.
202
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.720
I was like, Wow, this is not that lights and
203
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.519
I don't feel like it's not I didn't even feel
204
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.120
like it was that thin to be honest with you.
205
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.559
For my line of work, I must say like I
206
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.120
should probably do an updated review because it's been a while.
207
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.519
I'm still rocking the iPhone sixteen Promax. It's not the
208
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:59.200
latest iPhone, but the cameras are fantastic on this thing,
209
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.200
and I am very frequently, let me tell you, all
210
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.080
of the time I am using the ultra wide lens
211
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.200
and the telephone lens. And that was kind of an
212
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.519
early like I knew I wanted to review and check
213
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.600
out the iPhone Air just because I knew it was
214
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.320
such a different approach and it was kind of the
215
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.480
new kid on the block for the year, the upgrade
216
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:23.480
that year. But boy, from the beginning, I knew like, okay,
217
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.600
weaker battery life, slower USBC ports already two strikes there,
218
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.480
and just the one camera and the mono speaker. It
219
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.320
was immediately just like yeah, no, I knew from the
220
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.240
beginning that phone was not for me, but I still
221
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.840
wanted to try it out, and I was just completely
222
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:46.960
underwhelmed by the thinness and the weight. So because I'm
223
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:52.639
taking so many pictures and videos at work, it's honestly
224
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.519
probably easy to justify me upgrading more frequently at least
225
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.559
my iPhone because I used the camera so much, but
226
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.279
not for Telosive. That's it's the slight different thing. I
227
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.759
think for Telosiv, which is mostly going to be talking
228
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.320
head videos like this one, having a more stationary, fixed
229
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.559
setup with a dedicated micing camera probably makes the most sense.
230
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.320
That iPhone is great for when you're on the go
231
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.440
and you need to get shots of things in motion
232
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.960
or running around and you just need a camera on
233
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.039
you that's quick and easy. Yeah. I still use my
234
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:27.679
iPhone camera very very frequently, and the telephotal lens and
235
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:32.799
Ultra wide are particularly helpful. So the the iPhone Air
236
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.440
was a no go from the beginning for me. But
237
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.679
I'm also not surprised at all why it's not selling
238
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.200
very well. It's not selling all that great because nobody
239
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.080
was really asking for thinner iPhones. In fact, quite the opposite.
240
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.759
A lot of people are asking for iPhones to get
241
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.720
thicker so that the battery gets better. Hey, Randy's in
242
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.559
the chat. Good to hear from Randy. I don't think
243
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.360
I can go back to not having a telephoonal lens.
244
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.639
I love the Pro model. Yep, we all do. That's
245
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.480
what the data is showing like we act like the
246
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.639
Pro Mac so so exclusive and elite, and most people
247
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.320
buy the entry level iPhone seventeen. But that's not what
248
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.159
the data is showing. All of the data we have
249
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.159
on iPhone buying behavior shows that over fifty percent of
250
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.720
iPhone buyers are getting a Pro or a Promax since
251
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.399
the iPhone seventeen series. Back with the iPhone sixteen series,
252
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.440
it was around forty percent, so now it's gotten even higher.
253
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:29.159
I guess people like that aluminum. But yeah, my flight's
254
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.759
about to take off. Good to catch a little bit
255
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.679
of the stream. Thank you for your support. DJ. He
256
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.600
has a year ago. I use an iPhone Air with
257
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.159
a case and the battery pack. Is that triggering enough? Yeah?
258
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:46.360
I also, little details to me make a surprisingly big difference.
259
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.440
I don't know why, but something that really frustrated me
260
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.759
about the iPhone Air is that the dynamic island cuts
261
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:58.559
in even deeper than the iPhone seventeen Pro did or
262
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.519
sixteen Pro. Ever, since we had the dynamic island, they
263
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.879
all cut in just about the same amounts. You know,
264
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.639
maybe the side bezel got a little bit thinner, but
265
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.720
because of how they had to package, like most of
266
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.200
the iPhone Air's internals into that little camera bar at
267
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.639
the top. They had to like move the dynamic island
268
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.000
down and it cuts deeper into content. And I didn't
269
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.519
expect that to bother me because it doesn't really look
270
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.240
that obvious when you're just specking one out on Apple's website.
271
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.200
But once you actually have it and use it, I
272
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.279
don't know. That rubbed me the wrong way. Just again,
273
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.399
every step of the way using the iPhone Air, I
274
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.440
was just like, no, not for me. I don't like that.
275
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.320
That's weird. Okay, just bring back the mini iPhone please.
276
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.919
If we want to go smaller, I think that's the
277
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.279
way to do it, like screen size smaller, not thickness. Smaller.
278
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.720
Pro Mini would be awesome. I saw a lot of
279
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.879
you guys commenting about that, Zora linx Is. I don't
280
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.679
really believe most people buy the Pro model and ended
281
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.639
up really using its features. No, of course not, are
282
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.159
you kidding? Like ninety percent of the teachers are never utilized.
283
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.360
Everyone uses this thing for WhatsApp, I need to beth
284
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.440
camera and then they send snapchat messages that disappear after
285
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.919
thirty seconds. That's the everyday consumer. But that's not what
286
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.240
we're really talking about. We're talking about what people buy,
287
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.039
not what people use. Oh my god, you know, like
288
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.879
the average American. Sorry, I work in the automotive sector now,
289
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:31.080
so that's why my brain instantly moves towards the automotive analogy.
290
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.600
But the automotive analogy is the everyday American drives somewhere
291
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.919
between like thirty and forty miles a day on average.
292
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.360
But we all want our cars to go four hundred
293
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.279
miles on a tank or on a charge. Why do
294
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.960
we need to drive four hundred miles all the time. No,
295
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.679
but we buy cars based on the annual tasks, not
296
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.799
the daily tasks. People will buy one truck over another
297
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.399
because oh well, I needed to do that one thing
298
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.720
once a year. You know how many trucks we see
299
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.319
on the road with absolutely nothing in the bed, very common,
300
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.119
especially in the US, and they're huge, these massive lifted
301
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.839
trucks with these massive beds. So it's a very similar thing.
302
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.480
I think in the iPhone realm, it's like people want
303
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.599
to know that even though I'm not going to be
304
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.720
taking super high reds and super high quality pictures, or
305
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.319
I'm not going to be using one hundred percent of
306
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.720
my phone's battery every single day. But at some point
307
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.920
within the next year, I might take a vacation to Italy,
308
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.720
and when I'm in Italy and I'm taking pictures of
309
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.519
the sunset from Venice, I want to make sure I
310
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.359
have the best possible camera in that moment. And I
311
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.920
can't even really blame people, because, you know, like in
312
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.079
the grand scheme of things, I feel like I've backed
313
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.279
off a little bit on the savior money as much
314
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.759
as possible argument, which I used to push so much
315
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.640
on this channel, just because I've realized, you know, there's
316
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.839
so many expensive things in today's world. I mean, obviously,
317
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.599
I still try to encourage people to be wise with
318
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.720
their money, and you know, I would never encourage anybody
319
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.400
to finance their consumer tech. Please don't do that. Like,
320
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.279
if you can't afford to buy the iPhone out right,
321
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.200
just don't buy it. Like you're you're not in a
322
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.799
good position. You're not going to get rich by leveraging
323
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.480
debt against your smartphone so you have extra money to
324
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.640
invest ors. Don't do that. Just pay for cash for
325
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.240
tech and cars. Honestly, that's a bit of a hotter take,
326
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.480
but especially with consumer tech, I feel like that's less debatable.
327
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.720
You know, don't finance your air pods as much as
328
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.240
Apple makes that an option for you. Oh, you can
329
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.839
get zero percent interest over the course of six months.
330
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.839
It's like, no, don't do that. However, I have backed
331
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.960
off a bit on the like always you know, buy used,
332
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:50.680
or always get the cheaper model because that's better. But
333
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.480
the truth is, in today's world, there's so much expenses,
334
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.920
like groceries are getting more expensive, transportations get more expensive,
335
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.440
Rent's going up, housing's going up, electricity's going up. In
336
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:09.519
the grand scheme of all of these everyday life you
337
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.119
know things that are getting more expensive. The phone is
338
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.839
honestly not that much considering how much we use it.
339
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.200
Oh yeah, just don't go to Starbucks period. I'm sorry,
340
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:24.680
just don't. Just don't do it. Make all your drinks
341
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.559
from home. It's so cheap. I cannot emphasize how cheap
342
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.839
it is. Randy backed me up here exactly. Randy says
343
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.559
it's better to have it and not need it than
344
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.519
to need it and not have it. Yep, exactly. That's
345
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.720
how they prep meals for most big events too. They
346
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.359
over prepare because they'd rather have leftovers than run out
347
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.519
of food. Same concept with people buying a phone. I
348
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.240
got free AirPods due to financing them and Klarma screwing up.
349
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.119
Apple still gave them but paid nothing. Well, okay, that's
350
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:56.400
okay theft. Good job, Doug stealing. We love that. No,
351
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.480
it's a glitch. I don't care five dollars cuple of
352
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.119
coffee at star Yeah, oh man, even better. Yet, you
353
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.480
know what I do to save money. I don't go
354
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.720
to Starbucks or make coffee at home. I just don't
355
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:13.240
drink coffee. Boom. Wealth just appears everywhere. There's so much
356
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.400
money he could afford, but zero present spread pavements makes
357
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.680
things a bit easier at times. It messes with your
358
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.759
brain though, because it tricks you into thinking you have
359
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.599
more than you really do. It's a slippery slope. And again,
360
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.440
especially with consumer tech, it's such a small thing like you.
361
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.680
This is why Tim Cook is a masterful businessman. He's
362
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:40.200
trying to boil down everything into a daily cost. Take
363
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.400
it from me as a guy who works in marketing. Okay,
364
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.079
I gotta be careful with what I say now, But
365
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.839
as a guy who works in marketing, it's the most
366
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.400
age old tactic in the business. This is not an
367
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.440
Apple thing, This is not a Google thing or a
368
00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.839
Microsoft thing. This has been around for years, and this
369
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:02.240
is it's been around for decades. If you're trying to
370
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.960
make something sound more affordable, just list it as a
371
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:10.119
smaller and smaller time period of cost so you don't go, well,
372
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.920
it's not one thousand dollars, it's only one hundred dollars
373
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.279
a month for you know, a year, or don't think
374
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.799
of it as one hundred bucks a month. It's actually
375
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.279
just like two dollars a day. Tim Cook straight up
376
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.200
said that. He was like, you know, iPhone, ultimately people
377
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.559
are financing and that makes it two dollars a day. Okay, Well,
378
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.559
if it's two dollars a day, then that's like, you know,
379
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.599
a penny every ten minutes. That's really nothing. So what
380
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.519
they're trying to do is put the smallest possible price
381
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.799
in front of you and get you to not think
382
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.640
about the grand total price. And it's been statistically proven
383
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.559
mentally and with financial tracking. Experts in the industry all
384
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.319
agree with this. When it comes down to spending, like
385
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:51.960
it tricks your brain into thinking you can afford more
386
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.880
than you can because you look in your bank account
387
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.480
and you're like, oh, well that's how much I have.
388
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.480
I'm good I can afford that. But then you just
389
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.519
keep piling up the monthly fees on top of each other. Uh,
390
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.640
it's not good wealth building. Uh. They've they've researched the
391
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.119
not billionaires, but like the thousands upon thousands of millionaires
392
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.680
out there, and that's never how they build wealth. It's not.
393
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:16.000
It's not it's not proven to work. You were nine
394
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:21.440
when the first iPhone came out. Uh No, I was.
395
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.359
Let's see it was January, so eight. Technically I was
396
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.200
younger than that. Cost efficiency. Yeah. I work at Starbucks
397
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.119
and there's so many customers at the drive through window
398
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.640
have their payment fail so often that they hold up
399
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.920
by the line by culling their bank. Oh no, that's
400
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.160
such a sad story. Oh my god, Like hold on,
401
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:49.480
it got declined. Well, it's argo, I need my caramel Frato.
402
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.960
Whatever happened to the karplay in Tesla's rumor and still
403
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.119
being reported on. I know it hasn't launched, but according
404
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:00.960
to Mark German and they are still actively working on it. Sam, So,
405
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.359
I guess that's what I got. If you save your
406
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.519
coffee order of eight dollars a day and invest that
407
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:09.640
instead for the next thirty years. You still can't afford
408
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:16.079
anything beautiful. I bet you could afford more than if
409
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:20.319
you did spend it. Shame the current FCC just gave
410
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.400
Verizon a waiver no longer have to unlock phones after
411
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.359
sixty days. They agreed to that in order to merger
412
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:28.640
by straight Talk twelve months. Concurre it now, Huh, I
413
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.759
was wondering. I'm currently using a twelve Pro. I do
414
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.640
take photos a lot at random times. I'm thinking I'll
415
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.920
be upgrading in twenty twenty seven when my phone's oh
416
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.680
s upgrades are ending. Which would you recommend? Well, twelve
417
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.839
Pro's pretty old, So here I go looking for a
418
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:42.759
way to save money. I don't know your budget that
419
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:46.519
would influence my opinion on what to get. But honestly,
420
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.960
you could probably go all the way up to a
421
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.640
seventeen Pro after the eighteen pros come out later this
422
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.559
year and still have quite a lot of worthy upgrades.
423
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:00.240
I enjoyed the seventeen Pro aside from the software. Going
424
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:05.200
to get that regardless, I'm afraid let's see how many
425
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.759
people will finance a foldable iPhone more than I want
426
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:15.279
that's for sure. I currently have an ancient Tennis Max,
427
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.279
so acient. I'm still debating if I get the Air,
428
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.079
which will be more expensive in the long run, or
429
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.200
the Promax, which I feel will be big and uncomfortable
430
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.960
to use. Everyone I talk to you get used to
431
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.839
whatever you have, so I would just get the one
432
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:31.559
that I don't. In my opinion, I hate being the
433
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.599
guy to recommend the more expensive phone, but the iPhone
434
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.400
Air I think is going to age worse. And you're
435
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:39.480
telling me you're on a Tennis Max. It shows me
436
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.160
that you're the kind of person to hold on to
437
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.319
a phone for a while. I do not think the
438
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.920
iPhone Air was made for people who hold onto phones
439
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.079
for a long time, honestly, just because the battery life
440
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.480
is worse and the speakers worse, and there's only one camera.
441
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.599
I think the novelty of the thinness and lightness wears
442
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.039
off fairly quickly, at least in my opinion. Other people
443
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.880
have disagreed with me, but I think you'd be much
444
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:05.279
better off with a vapor chamber and a giant battery
445
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.640
on the inside. That's going to probably pay off in
446
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.279
the long run. Normal iPhone is the best value that's true.
447
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.559
If you're coming from a Tennis Max, you could probably
448
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.200
just upgrade to a regular iPhone seventeen and you'd still
449
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.400
get one hundred and twenty herd. It's better battery life
450
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.920
a dual camera. That's I guess you lose the telephoto lens.
451
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.759
But the telephotal lens on the Tennis Max wasn't that
452
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.680
great in the first place. What's the best color iPhone
453
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:37.440
seventeen base model? Drew stage right, Randy, I'm not teeming anything.
454
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.440
It's good to mix things up. Okay, that's fair. I
455
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:41.920
appreciate the open mind. Sorry for the glitchiness. I don't
456
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:46.720
know what caused that. I've never seen that before. Let's see.
457
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.920
The air is more durable? Is it? Just get a case?
458
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:54.319
It's not that I fun fact for you. I had
459
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.240
the iPhone Air for like a week and I already
460
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:01.039
started noticing scuffs and scratches. And I talked to people
461
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.799
that had the same thing. Should hold off on the
462
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.319
phone until the end of the year. I'm pretty sure
463
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.759
they're gonna duct tape to iPhone airs together and call
464
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.160
it the full I don't know. I think the iPhone
465
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.799
fold is gonna flop the eye flop? Can they just
466
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:23.960
call it that? But yeah, I think I don't think
467
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.839
it's going to outsell the pros, and at the very best,
468
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.440
it's going to make the Pros look like a more
469
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:35.279
reasonable offer. One Plus has the best battery in charging,
470
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:40.400
that's true. Samsung is the most customizable UI Okay, Pixel
471
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.799
has unlocked bootloaders and class leading aster photography mode. Motorola
472
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.799
still has SD card and headphone jack. They do. I
473
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.200
guess I forgot about that. That's funny because Motorola is
474
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.640
the first smartphone company to remove the headphone jack back
475
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.680
with the Moto Z. That's my old brain. That's how
476
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.119
I remember Motorola as I was like, Hey, you're all
477
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.319
mad at the iPhone seven for remove the headphone jack.
478
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:05.000
Moto ditched a while ago. You're always against cases, Drew
479
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.519
what happened? I grew up. I'm sorry. I started using
480
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:11.400
my phone as a tool, and I was like, you
481
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:16.119
know what, uh if I understand, Okay, I'm gonna take
482
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.519
it off right now. Does that make you feel better? Hey,
483
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.279
it's Skyler. How's it going? Okay? This does feel nice
484
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:31.079
and the display does look much cleaner. Okay, I don't
485
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:34.119
need a case anymore. This is so much better. Oh
486
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:39.359
I've been missing out. Sorry, No, that's that's kind of
487
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.920
the joke though, is like, yes, it feels nice and
488
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.759
it looks nice, but that's not why you should be
489
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.039
buying a phone or using a phone. I'm trying to
490
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.160
get you off of that mentality that, oh, this is
491
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.880
why we buy a phone is because of the hell
492
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.119
it feels so natural. It's like, now I'm okay with
493
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:58.400
the iPhone being a little bit uncomfortable because we all
494
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:02.640
probably have screen time addiction. So let your sore pinkies
495
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.839
be an example that maybe you've been using your phone
496
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:09.480
too long, maybe it's time to I understand it's it's
497
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:11.960
very difficult. I've tried to go back to using a
498
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.880
dumb phone. I see some people talking about that in
499
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.759
the chat. Dumb phones only get you so far. All
500
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.880
of a sudden, it's like, yeah, I don't need a smartphone.
501
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.240
I'm giving up on social media. That's great. I'm all
502
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.240
in favor of giving up on social media unless it's
503
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:31.640
my job. But the problem is when you like go
504
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.039
to a restaurant and they accept payment via QR code
505
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:38.119
or you got to scan a QR code to or
506
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:40.440
you go on a trip and here's your boarding pass,
507
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.359
and you've got to scan the phone, or you got
508
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.240
to use Google Translate when you're talking with someone who
509
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.279
speaks a different language. And there's just so many life
510
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.079
moments that come up where a phone is just now
511
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:56.920
expected socially, Like there's there's government ways of contacting people
512
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:01.079
now just through the phone and verifying bank information, and
513
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.279
there's so many brokerage services all that kind of thing
514
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.920
that it's like, Okay, you have to do it through
515
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:12.559
the phone. So it's challenging. It's tricky to like just
516
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.720
completely give up on the smartphone. But I am in
517
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.119
favor of, like, Okay, let's accept that smartphones are here
518
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:20.400
to stay. They're not going anywhere, at least for a
519
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.519
long long time. In my opinion, I think we're going
520
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.359
to have some kind of rectangular computer in our pockets,
521
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:27.839
probably for the rest of my life. Maybe I'm wrong.
522
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.599
I don't think even the glasses are going to replace these.
523
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.160
I think these will assist the phone, but kind of
524
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.559
in the same way that the watch assists the phone.
525
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.319
But I don't think the phone's going to just go
526
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:45.680
away personally. So because of that, I'm like let's use
527
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.519
our phones as tools. I understand wanting to capture the moment.
528
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:50.880
There's a lot of precious memories and moments that we
529
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:54.720
want to live up and document, so we want the
530
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:58.000
best possible camera to make sure we have a good
531
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:03.519
memory of those times. But trying to turn it into
532
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:05.839
something that we just hold in our hand and kind
533
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.559
of treat it like a Smeegel treats the ring, you know,
534
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.799
it's just like, oh, my freshest. I don't want people
535
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.119
to use their phones that way because I've used my
536
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.119
phone that way before, and I don't think it's healthy.
537
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.039
Even though we still have our phones, And like I said,
538
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.759
I use my phone for work more than anything. I'm
539
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:28.079
answering emails, I'm keeping up with coworkers, I'm coordinating events.
540
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:32.440
I'm answering questions across different social media channels, mostly not
541
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.920
mine anymore. I'm mostly working on behalf of the startup
542
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.920
company I work for. But you've inspired me to go
543
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.680
to Starbucks. Dang it, I'm costing Randy his future. Are
544
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.359
Apple supposedably working on any dumb glasses like meta ray bands? Yes,
545
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:48.759
that has been rumored. I don't think they're supposed to
546
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.480
come out for a while. I think last I read
547
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:54.640
they're not even coming out this year. But yes, Apple
548
00:30:54.799 --> 00:31:01.119
is trying to accelerate and get out quicker. There their glasses,
549
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:03.240
But I don't think they'll be completely dumb. I don't
550
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:05.599
think they're just cameras. I do think there's gonna be
551
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.880
a smartness to them and some level of displays on them.
552
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:12.160
They're trying to accelerate that development to see what they
553
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.920
can get out quickly. A low key want to get
554
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:17.839
an Android just to play around and customize the OS
555
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:19.960
is their phone that is pretty cheap, but not garbage
556
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:24.400
that you recommend. Uh. I'm not an expert when it
557
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.759
comes to androids, but I will say that keep in
558
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:31.359
mind how how much androids depreciate much faster than iPhones do.
559
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:35.519
All phones depreciate, but androids particularly because Google's not afraid
560
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:38.359
to put them on sale after a while. So if
561
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.680
you go to Google's website right now, you could probably
562
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.559
get a brand new pixel for like one hundred dollars
563
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.519
or two hundred dollars off what they originally launched at.
564
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.240
Apple doesn't do that. They're just like this is twelve
565
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:50.799
hundred dollars when it launches and then it stays twelve
566
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:53.680
hundred dollars for the duration of its launch period, and
567
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.920
then a year later, maybe we knock one hundred dollars
568
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.160
off or we scrap it entirely. But I would recommend
569
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.319
like eBay refers. I've had a lot of success with them.
570
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.319
I've bought a lot of phones, and this is how
571
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.759
I got my ceramic Apple Watch, which still looks super clean.
572
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:11.720
Thank you for noticing it's good. See, this is my precious,
573
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.200
This is my work tool. But this is what I
574
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:18.359
stare at when I want to admire Apple engineering. It's
575
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:21.279
a watch from twenty nineteen, seven years old, but it
576
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.400
still works and my battery health is quite good for
577
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.480
the age, in my opinion. But eBay refurbished, you could
578
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.359
buy like a flagship Pixel from a couple of years ago.
579
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:32.640
I don't know, I haven't done this in a while.
580
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.880
Let's just do it now, Why not? Let's just see
581
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.039
what I can find like the Pixel I don't what
582
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.599
are we on now? The Pixel ten is out. So
583
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:43.960
if you just go a couple generations back, let's look
584
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:49.200
up Pixel eight pro solid phone. Yeah, you can find
585
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.960
it an excellent condition, refurbished, fully unlocked for three hundred
586
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.880
sixty dollars and that's eBay certified refurbished. So everyone's always like,
587
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.000
I don't buy from eBay because I'll get scammed. eBay
588
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.440
always sides with the buyer. You are fine. If you're
589
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.079
worried about eBay. It should be because when you're selling something,
590
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.440
you know, they always side with the buyer. So if
591
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:13.200
it's got that little check mark next to it that
592
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.400
says eBay refurbished, that means it probably qualifies for at
593
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.279
least a thirty day return window, maybe sixty. This one
594
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.119
is from someone oh sixty day returns with a one
595
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.839
year warranty, and they have ninety nine point five percent
596
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.160
positive feedback after one hundred and thirty four thousand reviews,
597
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:34.359
so that's pretty trustworthy. Three hundred and sixty bucks for
598
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.519
a Pixel eight Pro with two hundred and fifty six
599
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.599
gigs of storage, Okay, that's zero research. That's literally just
600
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.240
a quick eBay search, just like, hey, what's out there?
601
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.039
If you want a cheap Android to play around with,
602
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.839
I'd say that's probably a decent option. I like the pixels.
603
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:52.039
I'm sorry, I like the hardware. Something about the software
604
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.759
with Samsung phones always bugs me. I don't like the
605
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.240
I guess Galaxy people probably get used to it once
606
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.759
they once you set up up your phone, and once
607
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:02.799
you're comfortable with it, it's probably not a big deal.
608
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:06.039
But as someone who used to review more phones more regularly,
609
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.480
it always was annoying to me when I'd have to
610
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:11.280
set up the phone and I need to sign into
611
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.440
my Samsung account and my Google account, and then you
612
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.840
would get dual apps. Is here's the Samsung version of
613
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.480
that app, and here's a Google version of that app,
614
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:20.280
and it was like too much, felt like two operating
615
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.000
systems trying to stuff themselves into one phone, or to
616
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.159
two souls trying to possess one body. Oh that got dark.
617
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.880
Oh okay, don't think about that. The Trash team thank
618
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.079
you for forty four months of support. Glad you're doing well.
619
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:37.119
I'm doing quite well. Thanks for asking. I'm very busy
620
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.400
and I'm sorry we don't do these streams more frequently.
621
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.199
But my next goal is going to be just as
622
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.239
we're trying to get back into the swing of things.
623
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:46.000
My hope is I can do one of these live
624
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:48.400
streams a month, and I'll just call them a Q
625
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:51.639
and A because I used to call them like with
626
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:53.880
a title and a thumbnail, and I would talk about
627
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.840
it for five minutes and then we talk about whatever
628
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:57.800
else you guys bring up, and then it would confuse people.
629
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.239
So I'm just going to have a monthly que a.
630
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.320
That's the goal right now. I might not hit that goal,
631
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.679
but I'm just letting you know where my head's at.
632
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.920
Thanks for supporting. As a person that cares a lot
633
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.000
about how things look, I understand, but find sad seeing
634
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:13.480
a device is only a tool, and not as a
635
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.719
tool but a piece of design, especially when talking about
636
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.039
an Apple product. Well, that's the nice thing about cases
637
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:20.400
is you know you can take them off within a
638
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:24.519
second if need be. Do I really use glasses daily?
639
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.559
I do. I don't need them at my desk because
640
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:32.000
everything's pretty close to me, but I basically always need
641
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:36.199
glasses when I drive. Now, my my, what is it called?
642
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.440
I am near sighted or far sighted? It's one of
643
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.400
those I can see things close to me, well, so
644
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.679
I guess I'm near sighted. That makes sense, but it's
645
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:48.920
getting worse and worse for things further away that I
646
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:51.599
don't actually feel like it's safe for me to drive
647
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.960
that much without my glasses. So This is normally what
648
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:59.440
I wear when I'm at the office or like particularly
649
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:01.320
like if I'm I'm at a restaurant and I'm looking
650
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:04.599
at a menu, I can't read anything without these, but
651
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:08.519
short distance like my monitors here, these are fine. I
652
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.079
can read all these, no problem. Same thing with my phone.
653
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.840
That's probably why my vision has gotten so bad, is
654
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.599
because I'm holding my phone too close. And I know
655
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.840
there's a setting in iOS that says, hey, you're holding
656
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:23.199
your phone too close, but it's it's way too picky.
657
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:25.320
I turned that on and I had to give up
658
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.719
on it after like a month, not even a month
659
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.639
a week because I could just never use my phone anymore.
660
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.760
I always had to hold it like, Okay, is that
661
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.119
fearg enough. I'm actually only wearing one contact lens right now.
662
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.079
It's actually amazing how well the brain it death one lens.
663
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:46.360
You're like that guy with the spectacle. Let me read that. Yeah,
664
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.559
you've been doing good. Thanks for checking in, Razzi. Sorry,
665
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.079
I don't know how to pronounce your name, my bad.
666
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:58.679
Samsung phones are the Voldemort quarrel of phones. Yeah, yes,
667
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.280
something about pixel phones, even though I don't think they're
668
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:06.440
better than iPhones with the animation in the ecosystem and
669
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:12.039
the fluidity something about Pixels. I just like the software
670
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.199
being and the software and the hardware being designed by
671
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.840
one company. I prefer that. I like that about the
672
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:19.480
Pixel phones. The cameras on them are also fantastic, so
673
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.920
you get great camera performance, and like I've mentioned earlier
674
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:26.559
in the stream, the newer pixels are fantastic, like downright
675
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.840
tempting to switch to for me sometimes until I start
676
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:33.039
thinking about all the logistics of switching over my wallet
677
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:35.880
and my accounts and my passwords and stuff like that.
678
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:38.159
But if I were to switch to an Android phone,
679
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:40.000
like if you put a gun to my head, I
680
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.679
would ask you to stop, don't do that. But if
681
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.519
you did, I would be like, if you were like Drew,
682
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:49.159
you have to switch to an Android, which one are
683
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:51.840
you going to switch to? I would? I probably daily
684
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.440
a Pixel ten, especially because the Pixel ten also has
685
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.239
MagSafe now and I love mag Safe. I use it
686
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.360
all the TIMEXL phones to me or the prettiest phone
687
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.440
in the industry, I think, I agree, I don't you know.
688
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.320
I like the seventeen Pro. I like the thermal performance,
689
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.760
and I love the camera performance and display and everything.
690
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.679
I kind of liked how ugly it was, but I
691
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:17.360
still think it's ugly. Yes, on the back with the
692
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:23.079
glass aluminum mix, I kind of like different looks. I
693
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:26.599
think it looks very utilitarian, so maybe ugly is not
694
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:30.119
the right word, but I definitely wouldn't describe it as
695
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.840
like clean and minimal. It definitely looks more visually busy
696
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.639
and a little bit more cluttered to have, like the
697
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.079
glass cut out with the three lenses and the camera
698
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.519
bar with the lenses protruding from the camera bar. But
699
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.000
as far as just cosmetics are concerned, yeah, I think
700
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:46.639
I agree with you. I think the Pixel ten is
701
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:50.320
probably the prettiest phone out there. You liked how ugly
702
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.960
it was, Yeah, I mean my thoughts on it have changed,
703
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.960
but an old example on this channel or maybe on
704
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.079
the EV channel, depends on how far back we scroll.
705
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:04.239
I like the look of the cyber truck. Now in practicality,
706
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.119
I've realized that it's not a very good design, but
707
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.599
I still think just esthetically it's kind of ugly. But
708
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:13.199
I like that it's ugly because a pickup truck is
709
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:16.519
not supposed to be beautiful, you know, a pickup truck
710
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:21.000
supposed to be like for work, for utility, Do I
711
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.400
still have the pixel full? No, that thing's gone. Is
712
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.679
Apple Maps finally good enough to replace Google Maps? I've
713
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:28.880
always used Google Maps. I don't know what to tell you.
714
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:33.119
I've always used Apple Maps, and I honestly never had
715
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.360
an issue with Apple Maps. I've had several issues with
716
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.880
Google Maps in the past. My car uses Google Maps
717
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:41.599
and still messes up. That's why I've wanted car play
718
00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:46.199
on my car for so long. Like Skyler, no, no,
719
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.159
ugly is the right word. Everything is supposed to be beautiful.
720
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.039
If it can be, yeah, it's I don't know. It'd
721
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.320
be the same way of having like a beauty contest
722
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:59.760
for a hammer, Like what's the prettiest hammer? I'd be like,
723
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.679
I don't want a pretty hammer. I just want a good,
724
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.119
like solid hammer that gets the job done. You know
725
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.960
that I can hammer things with. That's kind of how
726
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:09.880
I was feeling about my iPhone, is like, this is
727
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:13.320
more tool, so make it out of the materials that
728
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.880
make it the best tool possible. So I thought the
729
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.440
look of the seventeen Pro captured that this is a
730
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:22.840
pro device, This is a tool, and for the job,
731
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.480
aluminum makes the most sense here, and glass makes the
732
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.760
most sense here. Even Yeah, speaking of Google Map, even
733
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:33.039
in the old days when everyone hated Apple Maps, I
734
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:36.039
used it and it worked great. That's the weird Apple
735
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.880
sheep side of me. I guess I don't know. I mean,
736
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.960
you guys. I have people complain to me all the
737
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.280
time that I'm being too harsh on Apple. But still
738
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:47.280
to this point, I've never had an issue with Apple Maps,
739
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.000
even in the Scott forced all days, you know where
740
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.400
it first launched. When it first came out, I immediately
741
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:55.639
stopped using Google Maps, and I never had a problem.
742
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:58.960
Tesla uses Google Maps, but not Google Navigation. Tesla uses
743
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.239
their own navigation. I know. Oh, but I've had issues
744
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:04.599
with both, not just the navigation. I've had issues with
745
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.239
the actual map layout and have it be dated, and
746
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:09.239
have it say that this is a one way when
747
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:11.119
it's not, or say that you need to take this
748
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:15.480
entry and you don't. It's not purely Tesla's fault, but yes,
749
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.559
Tesla is partly to blame. Let's see Scott stole this
750
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.440
cyber truck is definitely aesthetics overfunction, but the whole point
751
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:25.800
of it was to get big diesel truck Bros. Who'd
752
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.639
never consider an EV, who only buy trucks for aesthetics anyways,
753
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:32.599
interested in an EV perfectly said I totally agree with Scott. However,
754
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:36.840
it's failed at that job. It didn't work. Sorry, but yeah,
755
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:41.960
I understand the approach, Like I get why they wanted
756
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.880
it to be, you know, kind of badass and kind
757
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.360
of like, yeah, we want it to be tough, tough truck,
758
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:52.880
mini steel. But the diesel truck bros out there, they
759
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:56.159
are not buying cyber trucks. Model y owners are buying
760
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.599
cyber trucks, which is kind of like the wrong direction
761
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.840
we should be going as far as electrification is concerned.
762
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.159
I'm not against aluminum, but I don't know. I think
763
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:07.679
they could have done a bit more compromise for it
764
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.960
to not look that ugly. You're probably right, but I'm
765
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:14.519
guessing if they made the seventeen pro more pretty, it
766
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.320
probably would have come at the cost of function, which
767
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:20.639
I would argue is the wrong choice. I think the
768
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.679
iPhone Air can be for people who want a pretty
769
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.639
iPhone that takes some cuts when it comes to function,
770
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:31.679
and I think people are upset in the tech community
771
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.280
because they probably feel like the iPhone Air makes too
772
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.880
many cuts for the sake of form overfunction, and they
773
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:41.280
want basically this, which is still a great phone, and
774
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.239
I would probably still recommend it to people. There's a
775
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.719
lot of people out there that are like, seventeen pros
776
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.320
are too ugly now and the iPhone Air is too compromising.
777
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:51.159
You know, I want a pro camera and a pro
778
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.639
display and a pro battery life, but I also want
779
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.519
it to be pretty and look nice. Hey, you can
780
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.840
still buy a sixteen pro Apples selling them fiber furbished
781
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.360
at a discount. It's not a bad phone. It still
782
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:06.599
has Apple Intelligence if you care about that kind of thing.
783
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:11.159
Mine is turned off. It still has stupid camera control,
784
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:13.840
which they should have gotten rid of. I was really
785
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.159
hoping to hear this year that Apple was going to
786
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:18.920
remove camera control, but nope, they're even including it on
787
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:21.800
the folding phone, which is going to be like four
788
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:27.000
millimeters thick, stupid. What do you think we'll do with
789
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.039
the Apple card now that JP Morgan Chase is in
790
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:30.679
the picture? Do you think the physical card will switch
791
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:36.039
to aluminum like the seventeenth Pro No? So, I like
792
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.800
the way you're asking the question, Jacob, But the big
793
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.280
question is not what the credit card is made of
794
00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:43.800
that's a one time cost. It costs the bank a
795
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:47.360
trivial amount of money to make those. In fact, they
796
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:50.559
could probably digitally, you know, credit cards are just numbers
797
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.159
that are scanned and then checking in with a database
798
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:57.760
when you pay for it. They could probably switch everybody's
799
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.039
physical Apple card over to JP more if they wanted to.
800
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:03.480
They might end up doing that, like you don't even
801
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:05.480
have to get a new credit card when they switch
802
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:09.000
over from Goldman Sacks. The big question with Apple excuse me,
803
00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:12.679
the big question with Apple card is are the rewards
804
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:16.119
going to change? That is what the true expense of
805
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:19.360
hosting that credit card is. That's why Goldman Sachs wants
806
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:21.039
to get rid of it is because they're losing so
807
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.079
much money on it. I personally think it's because the
808
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:27.679
UI has made it just incredibly simple and easy to
809
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.280
pay off, and no one's carrying balances, so they're just
810
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.440
racking him straight point, not points, straight cash. So they
811
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:36.760
didn't go through the point system, which is usually how
812
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:39.519
you game it so that you get people, you trick
813
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:42.599
people into spending more money than they originally intended, or
814
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.719
you get people to redeem points on certain things. By
815
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.360
buying certain packages from airlines or hotels in bulk. That's
816
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:52.920
usually why, like a successful credit card company would not
817
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:55.239
just give you straight cash back. Usually they have a
818
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.800
point system, and that's to influence your spending behavior and
819
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:03.119
influence how you redeem those points. Do you ever wonder
820
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:07.800
why credit card companies always give you so many benefits
821
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:11.159
for travel? Why do you think it's all about travel?
822
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.800
It's because when you travel, you spend way more and
823
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:18.400
they get more money the more you spend. There's a
824
00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:20.519
little fee every time you use that credit card. The
825
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:22.880
reason they're trying to motivate you here have a free flight, Here,
826
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.159
I have a free hotel, Here have free uber credit
827
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:28.400
is because they know when you're on a trip, you're
828
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.280
gonna rent a car, you're gonna pay out, you're gonna
829
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.679
go out to eat. You know you're going to spend
830
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:35.480
more on trinkets or you know, souvenirs or oh we're
831
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.320
already out here, let's take a ferry ride out to
832
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:41.679
this island. Again, gets you spending more than you would
833
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:44.519
have otherwise. So that free hotel room or that free
834
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.440
flight makes you feel like you're getting a good deal.
835
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:49.960
But once you get to that destination, you're still ending
836
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.800
up spending far more money than you would have otherwise.
837
00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:57.159
What happened to build No way Chase keeps the current
838
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:01.840
rewards system. So yeah, that's the big debate. Travel is expensive, Absolutely,
839
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:04.719
It's one of the most expensive things you could do.
840
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:10.360
Speaking as someone who has traveled a lot, there's just
841
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:12.880
a lot of expenses pile up quickly when you're traveling.
842
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:15.039
You need the train ticket, Now you need the Uber ticket.
843
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:18.199
Now you need the airport flight. Now you need the
844
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:24.199
hotel booking, you need the airbnb. You know, it just
845
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:27.400
stacks up, over and over and over. Are you a
846
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.840
fan of the critical drinker? Never heard of him? Sorry,
847
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.320
but probably I've reached similar conclusions. That's probably why you're
848
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:36.719
asking about it. So, Jacob, to answer your question about
849
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.719
the Apple Card, the debate is what the rewards will
850
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:42.400
be once JP Morgan inherits it. But we've still got
851
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.760
like two years. I think a month or two ago
852
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:50.320
they announced that Goldman Sachs was dropping it for JP Morgan.
853
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.199
But JP Morgan I think very likely will change the
854
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.079
cash back and maybe or maybe implement a points system
855
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:01.000
to try to influence spending, in which case I'm might
856
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:02.840
back out of the Apple Card. I don't know. I'm
857
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.679
these days, I'm actually using my City card a lot more,
858
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:09.639
just because we are huge Costco people. You know, I'm
859
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:15.320
usually so anti membership, but oh my god, Costco is
860
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:21.320
so good. Not a sponsored livestream, not no partnership or
861
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:26.920
affiliation in any way, but boy, you know, it's hard
862
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:30.280
to beat their grocery prices. Seriously. Also, when you're traveling,
863
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:32.079
you're more likely to pay more than you usually would
864
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:36.280
just for the sake of saving time. Great point, Very true.
865
00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:38.800
I think Apple is only selling the fourteen and fifteen
866
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:41.039
prot the refurbished really, I thought I just saw an
867
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:48.519
article that said they were let me find it. You
868
00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:51.000
guys are making me fall in love with the caseless
869
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:55.440
iPhone again. This feels kind of nice. Okay, iPhone sixteen.
870
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.440
I like how when you search iPhone sixteen Pro, it's like,
871
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.199
what you want a case? I'm like, no, I want
872
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:08.480
the phone, and they're like, oh you what, just get
873
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:10.079
a seven pre Pro. No, here it is, I'm looking
874
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:13.960
right at it, refurbished sixteen proax. Oh but they're all
875
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:20.280
one terabyte. That's probably an issue. Yeah, is there no
876
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:23.800
way to get it in a lower storage configuration. Oh no,
877
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:25.880
you can't. You could just select it here. Look at
878
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:32.039
that iPhone sixteen proax black titanium unlocked, nine and twenty
879
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:36.159
nine dollars cheaper than an iPhone Air. Oh sorry, I
880
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:41.039
forgot it's pronounced cost Co. I'm a huge fan of Costco.
881
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.719
They really are. Yeah, I read. I saw that headline
882
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:51.480
like last week. That was a good short. I love Sacramento.
883
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:57.280
I love the Costco and Sacramento. This is my normal accent.
884
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:05.360
Don't you love the good just cost Cos and Sacramento.
885
00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:09.280
Should I upgrade from iPhone SC two to iPhone seventeen
886
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:16.719
based model? Yes, immediately, get off that fricking phone. Move on.
887
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:24.039
The home button's dead. Sorry, mister president. Sorry, no upgrade.
888
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:26.400
Upgrade when you're ready and when financially able. Do not
889
00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:30.480
finance by used if you can. Uh. This is like
890
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:34.239
the duality of the financial responsibility and the Apple sheep
891
00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.920
in me is just like iPhone seventeen is great. Going
892
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:42.960
from an SC two to seventeen that will be very noticeable.
893
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.280
Scott Stowell says he loves the sixteen Pro. It's an
894
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.360
amazing phone. Yeah, I would, I would say for nine
895
00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:50.320
hundred twenty nine bucks from Apple. You know that means
896
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:54.239
they replace the glass, they replace the battery. That's fantastic.
897
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.280
Does it come in every color? Oh, never mind, it's
898
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.840
not available. I just scrolled down. That's really what you're
899
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.920
paying for is the box doesn't have the iPhone on it.
900
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:10.639
It just says the name. Sadly enough, that will sway people.
901
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.360
They'll be like, uh, the box doesn't have a picture
902
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.280
on it. I'm not interested. But yeah, it's not actually available.
903
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.320
You have to select one terabyte for the ad to
904
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:26.639
order page to show up. It's too bad. Maybe they
905
00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:29.719
launched the normal refurbished and everyone just bought it up.
906
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:33.559
There's a lot of iPhone sixteen's available refurbished, but I
907
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:39.960
know you can buy those new anyway. But yeah, technically
908
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:42.760
there are sixteen pros refurbished, but they're all one terabyte
909
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.400
for now. Have you ever downgraded your iPhone? I'm looking
910
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:48.079
to downgrade the success to iOS nine. I haven't, but
911
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.079
I remember looking into it once and it was very
912
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.440
complicated and I didn't feel like going through the work again.
913
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.559
Limited on time, in fact, speaking of, I'm gonna have
914
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:00.400
to wrap up the stream here in about ten minutes,
915
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.840
so if you've got any interesting questions you want to answered,
916
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.480
now's the time. Good to see you. I almost started
917
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:09.480
believing there wouldn't be any more live streams, so good
918
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:11.280
to see this. I know there haven't been any for
919
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.400
a while. I'll do my best to protect the Apple
920
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:15.920
events because I know those are really the big, big
921
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:18.039
live streams that you guys really want me to do.
922
00:51:18.719 --> 00:51:21.840
So I'll try to keep my schedules clear around those days,
923
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.239
but no promises at this point. Again, if you watched
924
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:29.559
yesterday's video, consider yourself lucky that there's content coming out
925
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:31.719
on this channel at all. Because there were several points
926
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:35.239
where we had to sit down and look at my schedule,
927
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:38.480
me and my wife. You know, she keeps my life together.
928
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:39.960
I would be a mess without her. But we had
929
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:42.639
to kind of look down at everything going on in
930
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:44.519
my life and just go, okay, do we have time
931
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.239
to keep doing these We almost didn't. We almost came
932
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:50.000
to the conclusion that we're just not going to do
933
00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:53.199
this anymore, which was kind of a hard reality. But
934
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:56.679
hopefully pricing won't get too crazy with all the AI
935
00:51:56.719 --> 00:52:00.239
stuff taking up so much chips, ram and graphics. Yeah,
936
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:03.119
you know, Apple has been pretty good at keeping pricing
937
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.440
mostly the same over the years. Every year for the
938
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:09.440
past like five years, I've expected a price hike and
939
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:13.079
then it doesn't happen. So I've been pretty impressed with
940
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:15.800
the way they've handled it. But I'm currently trying to
941
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:18.280
switch from my iPad with Apple notes to just regular
942
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:21.039
paper to be less dependent on Apple because of wanting autonomy.
943
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:26.639
I guess that's cool. I support that, although I hate
944
00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:29.960
using paper. There's so much wasted paper in my life.
945
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.639
I wish we could ban all the junk mail that
946
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:35.280
I get. Seriously, it's insane, Like ninety percent of the
947
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:40.000
mail in my mailbox is still straight up Oh my god,
948
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:43.599
it's still straight up junk. Literally, Like I was gone
949
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:45.639
for a week and I came back and I checked
950
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:48.920
the mail. Obviously it was full of stuff, and I
951
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:50.719
went through all of it and none of it mattered.
952
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:53.159
None of it was needed, not a single bill, not
953
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:56.559
a single important document. It's just a giant, fat stack
954
00:52:56.639 --> 00:53:01.880
of credit card ads and coupons and coupons to places
955
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:05.079
I never go to. And the deals aren't even that good. Ugh,
956
00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:08.840
it's gross. I was just like, and they're thick, they're
957
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:15.159
like super high quality, like ink in thick paper and
958
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:19.199
oh or like finance your home ads, you know, like
959
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.119
take out debt. You know, it's like, oh my god,
960
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:24.039
thank you Chris for the super chat. I want to
961
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:26.079
have an iPhone twenty two Pro Max. I have a
962
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:29.880
sixteen Pro. Nice we're twinsies. We both got to sixteen pros.
963
00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:32.559
I think these phones will last quite a long time
964
00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:36.880
unless Apple comes out with liquid metal and it makes
965
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:40.039
this GPUs on our phone's work extra hard and die faster.
966
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:42.840
But I'm already feeling like I'm getting more frame drops
967
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.920
with iOS twenty six on the latest build. It's fine
968
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:48.440
right now, but occasionally I'll be doing something very basic.
969
00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:50.760
I'll just close a couple apps and it drops to
970
00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:54.079
sixty fps, which the everyday consumer would not notice or
971
00:53:54.119 --> 00:54:01.480
care about. Oh but I do. I notice it. Okay,
972
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:04.239
Scott agrees with me. I have paperless billing with AD
973
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:06.320
and D and my Fiber Internet, and every month they
974
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:08.760
still send me a paper statement. Yes. I do this
975
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:12.679
on every single company, every single utility. I select paperless billing,
976
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:16.360
always paperless. I've never once been okay with stuff coming
977
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:18.400
in the mail, and they will still send me crap
978
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:24.079
like weekly. It's ridiculous hate that any thoughts on the
979
00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:26.760
upcoming studio display having ninety hertz versus one hundred twenty
980
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:30.159
hurts promotion. Why would it be ninety? I don't know.
981
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:33.719
I guess nineties better, but it would still be a disappointment.
982
00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:35.199
I think one twenty is the way to go. The
983
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:38.559
backbooks have one twenty, So yeah, like, come on, it's
984
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:41.079
not that hard. We have Thunderbolt five now it can
985
00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:43.880
handle one hundred and twenty hertz. I'm excited for the
986
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:46.119
studio display, but I also know it's probably going to
987
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.119
cost more, which means I'm probably not gonna get it,
988
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:52.559
but it'll look pretty. You know what Apple product has
989
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:56.239
depreciated The least fun fact for all you Apple sheep watching.
990
00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:02.719
I want to take a guess. It's the Pro Display XDR.
991
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:05.800
Oh my god. That thing launched back in twenty nineteen.
992
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.280
It's been nearly seven years since that thing came out,
993
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:13.280
and you know what, on the used market basically cost
994
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:16.480
the exact same as they did back in twenty nineteen.
995
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:20.880
There's been zero depreciation with the Pro Display simply because
996
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:25.440
it's got good dynamic range and it's pretty not even
997
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:27.840
that great a monitor, you know, there's no speakers, there's
998
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:31.119
no webcam, there's no power button. It only works with MAX.
999
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:35.280
It doesn't work that great with PCs. The formattings all
1000
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.239
off and everything. But people love the look of that thing,
1001
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:40.800
they love the height adjustability, they love that it pivots,
1002
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:44.000
and everybody still in twenty twenty six is happy to
1003
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:47.679
pay five thousand dollars for that thing. Seriously, I cannot
1004
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:53.320
find cannot find a pro display for much of a discount.
1005
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:56.239
Maybe if you're lucky, you find one for like thirty
1006
00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:59.800
five hundred dollars if you're lucky, but not much to
1007
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:02.679
preciation for a seven year old Apple product. Do you
1008
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:04.840
think liquid glass will change in iOS twenty seven or
1009
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:08.440
will be focused on performance and efficiency? I think iOS
1010
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:10.760
twenty seven is mostly going to be another attempt at
1011
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:13.119
AI features. I think they're going to double down on
1012
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:20.559
intelligence and Siri. I have a Silver seventeen Promax in
1013
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.840
two terabytes, and even then I still can't record four
1014
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.519
K sixty progress without an external SSD. Hope to answer
1015
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:32.800
someone question, oh yeah, that's a very high codec. Even
1016
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:36.159
I didn't record it that they loved that one thousand
1017
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:40.039
dollars stand exactly you excited for the end of this year,
1018
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:43.519
Rivin R two, Ramps, Slate, and Aptera probably starting deliveries.
1019
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:48.880
You forgot one of the startups in there, Mike, But yes,
1020
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:51.360
I'm excited for all of them. I think. I think
1021
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:53.079
it's going to be a very busy year for all
1022
00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:55.960
of them. But I know there's been a lot of
1023
00:56:56.119 --> 00:56:59.400
skepticism and a lot of people doubting it. But genuinely,
1024
00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:02.360
I do think Aptera is going to deliver vehicles this year.
1025
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.920
The assembly line is coming together. Slate's got a bunch
1026
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:08.280
of money, so I think they're going to deliver on time.
1027
00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:11.639
I could be wrong, but they've posted updates of their
1028
00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:16.400
their factory interior looks great. I wish them all the best.
1029
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:19.480
I think they're going to do really well. And the
1030
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:23.000
R two is launching like imminently, Like deliveries could start
1031
00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:26.400
any week now, like they've they've got production builds with
1032
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:29.760
painted body panels rolling out, and they've been driving around
1033
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:32.840
validation builds for months now. So Rivin R two is
1034
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:35.679
right around the corner. Super exciting. It's kind of an
1035
00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:41.360
exciting year for EVS. Yes, Eisngarden, Tom, thank you for
1036
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:43.679
the super chat. I remember in your update. Last year
1037
00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:45.360
you said the future of the Tech Channel was bleak,
1038
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.039
but I think you had a strong twenty twenty five
1039
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.880
definitely interesting topics. Well, thank you, I appreciate that. Yeah,
1040
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:57.400
I actually think last year I did okay because there
1041
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.440
were a few documentary style videos that were I'm talking
1042
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:03.199
about the state of Apple, and what's funny is for
1043
00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:06.679
the Tech Channel, even when Apple is doing poorly or
1044
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:08.960
even when Apple is boring, you kind of can make
1045
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:11.800
content about how boring it is. So that worked out
1046
00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:19.239
for the channel. But yeah, this year is arguably, I
1047
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.679
would say more exciting. We've got the first folding iPhone ever,
1048
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:25.440
so that's a Pandora's box that you're never going to
1049
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:29.639
put back in, so that that's an exciting development. I'm
1050
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:31.679
very curious to see how they price it, how they
1051
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:34.519
market it, and most importantly, how the software handles it,
1052
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:36.599
you know, like how iPad oss is going to handle
1053
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:40.000
the folding phone and how the market responds to it.
1054
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:43.760
I don't think it's going to respond that positively. I
1055
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:47.599
think it will continue to be the lower sales volume
1056
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:50.280
fourth iPhone in the lineup, but or third, I guess,
1057
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:52.800
because they're not releasing the regular iPhone eighteen this year,
1058
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:56.840
they're just going to do eighteen Pro eighteen, promax and fold.
1059
00:58:58.039 --> 00:58:59.639
Then you've got to wait till next year for the
1060
00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:05.000
regiller eighteen. But yeah, the folding iPhone is definitely a
1061
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.440
change up, change of scenery for the iPhone landscape, and
1062
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:13.280
also the Mac is getting several big changes. We were
1063
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.800
supposed to get new MacBook pros last week. Sorry, I
1064
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:17.519
was wrong on that. I get a lot of things
1065
00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:19.960
wrong on this channel, and that was one of them.
1066
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:22.400
But there were so many reports claiming that the launch
1067
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.000
was imminent, and with the launch of air tags too,
1068
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:27.239
I thought we were in store for another site refreshed
1069
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:31.639
week and I was flat out wrong. Apologies there, But
1070
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:36.440
everyone I keep talking to keep saying that M five
1071
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:39.840
Pro and five Max MacBook Pros are launching any day now.
1072
00:59:40.599 --> 00:59:44.320
They're probably already in production, they're probably already at Apple stores.
1073
00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:46.480
They're just ready to flip the switch and then you'll
1074
00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:48.079
be able to pick them up within a few days.
1075
00:59:48.719 --> 00:59:50.440
But it's not supposed to be a big redesign, but
1076
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:53.920
simultaneously giant MacBook Pro redesigned with O LED and a
1077
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:57.079
touch display and a dynamic island. All that's rumored to
1078
00:59:57.159 --> 00:59:59.599
launch at the end of this year. That's not even
1079
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:03.000
the reports have actually been doubling down that that's happening
1080
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:06.199
this year, not next year. So exciting year for the Mac.
1081
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:08.239
We might get an iMac Pro return, we might get
1082
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:13.480
the cheapest MacBook ever. I'm actually slightly more bullish. I'm
1083
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.000
more bullish on Apple this year. I think as far
1084
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:18.280
as hardware is concerned, I'm not the stock price. I
1085
01:00:18.320 --> 01:00:21.480
don't care about that. I'm not really in the stock
1086
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.039
game anymore. I just do mutual funds and forget about it.
1087
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:27.679
But actually invested a bunch of money yesterday, now that
1088
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:31.360
I mention it, but not in anything interesting. I just
1089
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:36.880
poured it in S and P. Basically, let's see. Do
1090
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:39.039
you think we'll get a whole new iPhone design in
1091
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:41.239
the next of next year or only the holest screen.
1092
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:44.000
I'm not even convinced we'll get that. I think that
1093
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:47.800
the leaks around the twentieth anniversary are kind of overhyped.
1094
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:49.880
I think it's I think the folding iPhone is going
1095
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:53.159
to be more interesting. The twentieth anniversary iPhone is rumored
1096
01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:56.599
to just be like thinner bezels, and maybe they go
1097
01:00:56.679 --> 01:00:59.039
back to the rounded chassis like the iPhone ten was,
1098
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:03.199
instead of squared off like this is. That's it. No,
1099
01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:07.519
I've never invested in silver, thankfully, I've barely ever invested
1100
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:10.800
in crypto, and now I'm glad because I actually sold
1101
01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:12.960
all my crypto at a higher price than what it's
1102
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:19.320
at currently, so stongks major profit. John Adams Tech, I
1103
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:21.519
have no crypto now. By the way, as a smaller
1104
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.639
tech creator, I'm wondering, if you think the tech apple
1105
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:25.440
niche is dead, do you think there's much of a
1106
01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:29.079
future for smaller channels. That's a great question. We should
1107
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:30.679
end on that one because I got to get going.
1108
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:34.840
I'll review the iPhone fold I don't plan on keeping it,
1109
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:40.480
but I will definitely review one for sure. Do I
1110
01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:43.840
think the tech apple niche is dead? There's certainly a
1111
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.840
lot of momentum behind it. So that's the part of
1112
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:49.639
this channel that's really impressed me. Thanks to your guys'
1113
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:52.280
continued support. I do want to end this stream on
1114
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:57.719
just by saying thank you to everybody for sticking through
1115
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:01.599
all of the low quality of this channel's life, where
1116
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:04.280
there was very little uploads, and the very little uploads
1117
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:07.039
there were had terrible audio and they were in the car,
1118
01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:13.239
and they were poorly edited and thrown together. And I
1119
01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:16.480
know that my lighting in my video is not perfect
1120
01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:20.559
or great. Even now, my main focus with this reapproach
1121
01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:22.400
to the channel was, well, let's at least get the
1122
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:25.800
audio working and have decent lighting, but not. Obviously it's
1123
01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:29.039
not great, and I'm not trying to fool anyone into
1124
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:32.320
thinking this looks amazing. But I just want to appreciate
1125
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:36.880
everybody's patience and support, because I am incredibly impressed by
1126
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:42.840
how many people want to keep watching videos about seemingly small,
1127
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:47.519
insignificant details, like little details that I find kind of interesting.
1128
01:02:47.639 --> 01:02:50.400
But I would often think about making and go, I
1129
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:52.199
don't know if people really want to hear me talk
1130
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:57.400
about that, like niche things like the trifold concept. You know,
1131
01:02:57.440 --> 01:02:59.400
it's like, oh, now there's a folding phone with two
1132
01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:02.480
hinges and it opens up to ten inches instead of
1133
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:06.480
seven inches. I wanted to talk about that because it
1134
01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:08.599
was kind of interesting to me, but I wasn't sure
1135
01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:10.920
how it would do. It's not really an iPhone leak,
1136
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.960
it's more Samsung coverage, but still, like ten thousand people
1137
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:21.280
still wanted to watch that video, so I was like, oh, Okay,
1138
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.320
like I didn't think that would be as interesting, but
1139
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:26.440
I guess there were still people interested in watching that
1140
01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:29.679
or same thing about like a tiny and significant iPhone,
1141
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:34.599
rumor about Okay, here's how the next iPhone's going to
1142
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:39.599
reposition their camera, or you know, tweak around the dynamic island,
1143
01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:41.920
and you don't think it would be that interesting, and
1144
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:44.199
yet a ton of people keep watching. And I don't
1145
01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:47.039
know if there's definitely a certain level of nostalgia with
1146
01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:50.679
my channel that helps the fact that I grew my
1147
01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:53.800
channel quite a bit many many years ago, so a
1148
01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:56.000
lot of you guys keep watching me because there's a
1149
01:03:56.039 --> 01:04:00.239
sense of familiarity. I do that with certain YouTubers on
1150
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:02.400
the channel. Some channels I stop watching because I kind
1151
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:04.199
of get tired and board of them, and I don't
1152
01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:09.239
expect my channel to be any different. I'm sure there's
1153
01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:11.079
plenty of you guys out there that get tired and
1154
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:14.079
bored of me yapping about the same old stuff, so
1155
01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:17.360
you unsubscribe and stop watching. I don't blame you at all.
1156
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:19.719
I do the exact same thing. But there are certain
1157
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:22.000
YouTubers that I watch that I've watched for over ten
1158
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:25.159
years just because I'm like it feels like coming home.
1159
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:27.039
It feels like talking to an old friend. I know
1160
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.320
them very well, I know different stages they've been through,
1161
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:32.440
and it makes me excited to hear from them again,
1162
01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:36.079
even if it's not necessarily the most interesting topic. I
1163
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:39.039
just like watching them for them and the way you
1164
01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:41.320
guys talk in the chat and in the comments. I
1165
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:45.559
can tell I'm very amazingly that for some of you,
1166
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:48.880
which I'm grateful for, and I'm very appreciative that there's
1167
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:52.239
still people super chatting after all this time. Glad you
1168
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:56.800
still keep making videos for teching V. Thank you sharp Upin.
1169
01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.679
Thanks for changing your name. By the way, So the
1170
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:05.920
question of is there still room for smaller channels, I
1171
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:09.199
think it's changed. I think the landscape's a little different
1172
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:12.320
where it's a very saturated field. Now. You know, when
1173
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:15.039
I first started doing tech videos, there were very few
1174
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:19.000
Apple centric channels. There were a couple, but not nearly
1175
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:21.119
as many as there are now. Like when I started,
1176
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:25.559
there was basically everything Apple Pro and I Justine and
1177
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:29.119
those were two like Apple centered YouTubers. There was other
1178
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.079
YouTubers that talked about Apple, but they talked about lots
1179
01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:36.239
of other things too. Soldier knows best MKBHD John Morrison.
1180
01:05:37.559 --> 01:05:40.920
I'm sure there's more unboxed therapy, you know, Linus tech Tips.
1181
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.320
There's a huge list, but I'm just thinking of who
1182
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:46.400
comes to mind right now. Now though there's there's probably
1183
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:50.840
two hundred or three hundred channels that almost exclusively cover
1184
01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:55.400
Apple and almost nothing else. So because the market is
1185
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:58.920
so saturated, it's hard to find an in because in
1186
01:05:59.039 --> 01:06:01.639
order to get content off the ground, you kind of
1187
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:04.760
have to stand out or specialize in some way. And
1188
01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:08.360
I don't even think I stand out or specialize that
1189
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:11.719
much anymore. And I'm mostly just writing off the nostalgia
1190
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:17.320
waves of people who discovered me a decade ago, which
1191
01:06:17.320 --> 01:06:20.320
is fine. I've accepted that that doesn't even bother me.
1192
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:22.519
I'm still just grateful that I can do this at all.
1193
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:25.119
And there's a there's a field that I have some
1194
01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:27.960
interest in that I can talk about and other people
1195
01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:29.960
want to watch me talk about that. That's a miracle
1196
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:34.039
to me. That's that's just insane. So I'm grateful, of course,
1197
01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:36.880
but I would My advice, I guess, to young up
1198
01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:40.960
and comers that want to break into the Apple tech
1199
01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:44.960
sphere and content creation is try to read the room
1200
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:48.159
a little bit, and I guess, to get more specific
1201
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:52.679
with that question, I think I think you have to
1202
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:55.239
kind of lean more onto short form content these days.
1203
01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:59.840
I don't think you could just start, like if Taylor's
1204
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:03.280
didn't exist and I started a tech channel today just
1205
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.280
doing what I'm doing now, like doing five to ten
1206
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:09.199
minute videos that are kind of edited and kind of simple,
1207
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:11.360
but just talking head videos, I don't think the channel
1208
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:13.280
would do that well. I think I would just get buried.
1209
01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:16.079
And I think the only reason my videos are doing
1210
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:19.920
remotely okay is that I have a lot of legacy
1211
01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.719
and nostalgia attached to the channel and the brand, so
1212
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:26.440
there's a lot of familiarity of people watching. But if
1213
01:07:26.519 --> 01:07:28.800
I was starting from scratch, I would probably try to
1214
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:31.719
lean more into the short form content because that's the
1215
01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:36.440
direction more viewership is going. I know that, and I
1216
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:39.400
know that I could probably make more short form videos
1217
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:43.400
that get more views, but I don't enjoy them as much.
1218
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:47.559
I have to make them quite frequently, honestly for my job,
1219
01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:51.159
because short form is very good for reach. You know,
1220
01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:54.559
when you're trying to get as many people to watch
1221
01:07:54.639 --> 01:07:57.840
your content or to discover your brand or your personality.
1222
01:07:58.239 --> 01:08:02.599
If you're trying to branch out as much as possible,
1223
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.559
then short form is much much better for discovery getting
1224
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:09.239
people aware of you. But it's not as great for monetization.
1225
01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:11.599
You don't make nearly as much through it. And I
1226
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:14.159
also just don't find it as insightful. I don't find
1227
01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:17.079
it as fun. I've tried to do that short form
1228
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:20.800
content on this channel on others. It's very helpful when
1229
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:23.239
you're trying to just get your brand name out there.
1230
01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:25.279
So I work for a startup in the Bay and
1231
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:27.359
I do a lot of short form videos, in fact,
1232
01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:31.079
more short form videos than long form for that company,
1233
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:37.239
and it does wonders for discovery. I've gotten multiple shorts
1234
01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:39.479
well over a million views. One of my shorts is
1235
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.079
like three and a half million views. But when it
1236
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:45.640
comes to long form content that's shot in landscape, oh no,
1237
01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:48.399
I don't even get close to three million. I barely
1238
01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:52.079
break one hundred thousand views. So the industry is moving
1239
01:08:52.159 --> 01:08:55.800
towards that, and advertisers are spending more money towards that now,
1240
01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.199
to the point now, like ten thousand views on a
1241
01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:02.399
landscape video doesn't make what it used to make, like
1242
01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:05.359
ten thousand views five years ago is way more valuable
1243
01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:09.359
than ten thousand views on a landscape video today. So
1244
01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:13.239
if in the future I'm not working at this company,
1245
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:16.520
or if something changed or whatever and I had more time,
1246
01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:19.279
maybe I would consider trying to dive back into short form.
1247
01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:22.680
But I really I don't find it as insightful. I
1248
01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:24.439
don't feel like I can dive as deep as I
1249
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:28.439
want to, And I also don't think it's helping with
1250
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:32.720
people's diminishing attention spans. I'm guilty of it. I mean,
1251
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:34.800
I watched the short form stuff too, but I can
1252
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:39.359
feel my IQ dropping in real time as I'm scrolling endlessly,
1253
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:40.720
and I just don't know if I want to be
1254
01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:44.439
part of that machine if I don't have to be.
1255
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:47.439
Sometimes you have to be to get the word out
1256
01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:51.239
on things. But yeah, I would say if you're trying
1257
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:54.680
to break into that field now that that's probably more
1258
01:09:54.680 --> 01:09:56.279
of the angle. You probably have to lean more on
1259
01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:59.279
the short form content to get out there. It's can't
1260
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:02.319
write what it's done long form content. It does suck,
1261
01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:04.039
but it's just the way the world. We can't get
1262
01:10:04.039 --> 01:10:07.720
around it. This is just what industries do. They change
1263
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:10.479
and they adapt, you know, for a long time musicians.
1264
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:14.119
Their goal was to sell records and how many records
1265
01:10:14.159 --> 01:10:16.600
can we sell? And now it's a game of how
1266
01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:20.840
many plays can we sell? Because people just pay for
1267
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:24.680
memberships now. They subscribe to Apple Music or they subscribe
1268
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:27.520
to Spotify Premium, and you don't think much about that.
1269
01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:29.479
You just think, oh, great, there's a new bundle, there's
1270
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.800
a new deal. But that totally changed fundamentally the way
1271
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:36.640
musicians and artists get paid now, and they've had to
1272
01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:39.000
adapt and they've had to adjust accordingly, and it's a
1273
01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:41.960
whole different industry now. So it's the same kind of thing.
1274
01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:45.000
You got to expect it just as quickly as it comes,
1275
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:47.920
it can go. You know. I think it's probably a
1276
01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:50.399
bit naive of people to assume when all of a
1277
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:52.840
sudden YouTube launches and we're like, oh cool, we can
1278
01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:55.359
upload videos. And then all of a sudden, Google's like, hey,
1279
01:10:55.399 --> 01:10:58.640
we'll pay you to upload videos and we'll host them
1280
01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:02.319
all for free. That's an amazing thing. And it started
1281
01:11:02.319 --> 01:11:05.079
blowing up very quickly and people started making livelihoods off
1282
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:09.359
of it. So just as quickly as that industry comes up,
1283
01:11:10.119 --> 01:11:13.000
it can also dwindle and change and fall apart. And
1284
01:11:13.319 --> 01:11:15.560
suddenly it's not as easy to make money off of
1285
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:18.399
as it used to be. That they come in waves.
1286
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:21.159
You know, industries move around, and that's part of the
1287
01:11:21.159 --> 01:11:23.640
reason I took this job, not just because I was
1288
01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:26.960
passionate about the company and the product the full time
1289
01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:32.760
job with Tello, but also because I knew that, well,
1290
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:34.920
YouTube's not making what it used to make. I still
1291
01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:39.520
want to make videos, and you know, I don't love
1292
01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:42.159
the idea of doing more sponsorships, but I'll do them
1293
01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:44.880
if I have to. But it'd be cool to have
1294
01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:46.760
a guy. It'd be cool to have a channel that
1295
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:51.720
didn't rely on sponsorships and could just rely on efficient
1296
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:58.039
spending and income from elsewhere. So I'm much more, much
1297
01:11:58.039 --> 01:12:00.800
more happy to work with an electric vehicle startup that
1298
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.640
I'm excited about. Then just do more sponsorships, which I
1299
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:06.520
wouldn't make as much money and I would just be
1300
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:11.079
adding to the noise. Here's another VPN you guys should downlook. Anyway,
1301
01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:15.640
I gotta get going. I appreciate all the questions and
1302
01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:19.159
all the super chats. I know there's a lot of
1303
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:21.159
good ev questions that I really want to answer, but
1304
01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:27.000
maybe I should do rapid fire if Tesla stops making EV's,
1305
01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:33.560
which brand will dominate the sedan EV market? Lucid, appreciate
1306
01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:36.119
that you're still doing when I was worried. I'm glad
