Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich on tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro.
00:00:06
Speaker 2: Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you Amy.
00:00:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so Apple's got a new iPhone update and there's some fun little tricks. I love. I love learning new tricks on my iPhone.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: Yes, and there are a few. And the number one question I get is do I do the update? And I know I've gotten a lot of emails from people saying, look, the last update messed up my battery life. I don't like the way it looks. But if you stop doing the updates now, you're not getting all the fixes. And this is a big one because it's iOS twenty six point one, so it's the biggest update since they came out with this new iOS liquid glass. But here's the funny thing. Apple is sort of admitting that liquid glass is not for everyone. So there is a new setting. If you hate liquid glass, there's a new setting under settings and then display it says liquid glass, and you can now have a tinted mode that basically gets rid of the transparency. So if you don't like liquid glass and the way it's see through, go into your settings after you do the update, go into display and look for the new liquid glass option and change it to tinted.
00:01:11
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're basically saying you can go back to the old way because we may have screwed up on this one.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: They may have realized that not everyone likes everything to be see through because it can be tricky to see.
00:01:23
Speaker 2: So that's number one. A couple other little things.
00:01:26
Speaker 3: Number two is that you can turn off the lock screen camera swipe, so if you're always opening up the camera accidentally, you can turn that off for the first time ever. That's also in settings. I personally love that feature, so I'm not turning that off. And then there's a new slide to stop button instead of the old snooze button and stop so instead of tapping, now you have to slide to turn off your alarm completely, which you know is probably good for those groggy folks like us.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I've done that before where I just turn the whole thing off and then you're kind of in trouble.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: It's always my fear, I you know, I don't, I've not done that in a long time, but it's always my fear every single night when I go to sleep. My god, I'm gonna turn off this alarm and I'm not gonna I'm never gonna wake up.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: So it's a slide off kind of like when you want to power off, you have to slide same thing exactly.
00:02:17
Speaker 3: So it's like a little bit more work, which makes a lot of sense because you can easily reach over and like press pause, you know, or or stop by accident.
00:02:25
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Okay, so then we'll go from the Apple phone over to the Apple Watch. What's up with that? Okay, I should say, what's app?
00:02:34
Speaker 2: Could I see what you did there? I like it?
00:02:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, WhatsApp, you know, messaging app used by billions of people worldwide. I think is finally on the Apple Watch. Yes, people love WhatsApp, and I would. I love it in theory. I wish everyone would use it because I think it's such a great messaging app because it is end to end ENCRYPTID, it supports messages, it supports calls, and now you can do all of that right from your wrist. I also think this is good for kids, because you know, a lot of parents give their kids an Apple Watch with no phone, and so the fact that you can now have an option for messaging, that's not just I Message is also really nice, but basically Meta is saying that you could do pretty much everything you do on the app, you can now do from your wrist, which is much better than the previous method of Yes, you might be saying, rich, I've always gotten WhatsApp notifications on my watch.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: Those were just notifications. This is like full support for the app, so it's all there.
00:03:32
Speaker 4: Go ahead and download it to the Apple Watch if you like WhatsApp, okay, And so it sounds to me like it's what I already do have with my Apple Watch, because I do get pictures and messages and I can do emojis and stuff.
00:03:48
Speaker 3: With I Message. But with WhatsApp, now you're getting full support for everything. So you can basically do everything you could do on the phone on the Apple Watch. And it's all still encrypted, which is really nice.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: Okay, and you don't have to have the phone.
00:04:01
Speaker 3: Now, well, I mean, if you have cellular, I mean obviously there's a whole nother yeah thing there.
00:04:06
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So we couldn't go a segment without talking about AI. And now we've got AI on a social media platform, and I'm just like going, I got to hear more about this because it sounds like it's just a fake social platform.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't believe you haven't downloaded it. Ye, you have an iPhone, You've had it for a month. This is Sora, And I'm not kidding. When we first talked about this, and I think we talked about it, I didn't see the appeal. I was like, who is going to download an app like a social media app filled with deep fakes? And sure enough, it's actually quite entertaining. It's called Sora. It's been available on the iPhone for a month now. It is finally available on Android. So if you have an Android phone you've been wanting to try this Sora app, which is by the way, owned by open Ai, which are the makers of chatch Ebt. It's really cool because basically you can make short videos anything you want, within reason, and they can include your face and your voice. So it's just a whole other way of thinking about social media with these wild kind of circumstances, and you see your friends in them, and so I mean, me and my kids just sit there and we make them.
00:05:15
Speaker 2: And sure it's scary that it's all your.
00:05:17
Speaker 3: Likeness, but it's also really interesting what it does Okay.
00:05:21
Speaker 1: So it's sort of like a high tech version of JibJab.
00:05:24
Speaker 2: Oh my, look at you. Yeah, it's basically an AI.
00:05:29
Speaker 3: Version of JibJab, except you know, your mouth actually moves. It looks like you like. I just sit there and I make videos of like the wildest stuff, and I'm just like, Okay, that's interesting. It's not one hundred percent perfect, but it's definitely fun. And you don't need an invite anymore. You used to need an invite to get on this thing. So if you want Sora on your iPhone or Android, go ahead and get it and see what the craze is all about.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I might have to check it out just because it just it also freaks me up because, like you said, there's nothing real about it.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: It's all AI no, and it takes you a second to realize. You're like, oh my gosh, people put themselves in these situations.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: Oh, it's fake, and.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: So it's fun fake, okay. Host of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter, rich Dedmiro. You can find out what we've been talking about on his website. Rich on Tech dot tv.
