specially from you of course I mean I think you're the most influential so
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►

[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
conversation you know and I think over the last few years I've even gotten
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
further away from that whereas sort of see myself more as a commentator on the
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
reporting of others as opposed to someone who does a lot of original
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
breaks a lot of original news is that too much news it's been broken on their
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
incredible recently yeah I mean your opinion is just so sharp and strong in
[TS]
00:01:54

matters so much so I guess you know either way you look at it whether its

00:02:32
◼
►
year was announced in 2008 and so sure enough Apple had under a shell company
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
registered I sleet calm and there was some New York Times executive who had
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
some internal meeting and months in late 2009 talking about how he said that the
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
impending Apple sleep so i mean i think im gonna call Apple's late but you know
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►

[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
with you know being around and getting the news out there and you know how did
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►

[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
tipped rumors actually
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
and how do you got credit for it down there and I put me on the map a bit and
[TS]
00:03:22

[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
sort of a
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
and once a strong tradition but sassy you know there's a strain know of apple
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
and i dont wanna quite call it rumor reporting will get back to that will get
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
back to that art that the R word as I call it but you do break you know a lot
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
of in a lot of your better-known stuff is for breaking news about you know
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
stuff that supposed to be secret right right so rumors is the bridge the wrong
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
way we can get back to that in a bit but sort of the wrong word but there's a
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
history of that though coming from teenagers really I mean and I and the
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
example I'm thinking of and I hadn't thought of him for a while but NIC 0 le
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
who was wrote under the pen name of nick de plume right
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
secret right on think secret now this is weird does this is a thing where if
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
you're 20 years old the think secret stuff must seem like ancient history to
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
yeah it was way before my time so you will not hold things went down that was
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
that was you weren't you were probably like 10 10 years older something that
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
probably we have to go to think secret that come now it's turned off so think
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
secret shut down like an early iPhone days founded in 1998 so it was that
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
preceded even during fireball by four years and shut down in 2008 so yeah you
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
know you must have been somewhat paying attention to the media if if I 2010 you
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
were breaking stories on domain registrations first that you know but in
[TS]
00:05:20
◼

[TS]
00:05:29

◼
►
actors well he was in high school and then moved into college went down and I
[TS]
00:05:38

[TS]

00:06:15
◼
►
at least 200,000 or more readers of 9 to 5 Mac

00:06:19
◼
►
remarkable for someone who's you know like I said can legally buy beer yeah
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
why do you think there's anything to that I i dont know to me there is
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
something to the idea of a truly in a static teenager who just has like an
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
obsession with with this sort of stuff getting information that for lack of a
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
better word older and more established reporters aren't getting right even
[TS]
00:06:52

[TS]
00:07:14
◼

[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
that starting at the young age that I started out and Nick things secret
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
started out i mean when you're working you know under 20 years old on the steps
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
up its not really like the left for lack of better term 2925 day job or you know

00:07:41
◼
►
that job I mean it was just something that I really enjoyed and I keep me
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
fashion trend after no one was forcing you to do any of that and that takes a
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
lot of the burden off me and I need to focus on what I like to do now I mean
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
was it Apple specifically that you've always been interested in yeah you know
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
I've always really been a huge Apple fan
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
you know wait in line for the first iPhone I was you know so thrilled and
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
remember you know actually to show you how much I really love out why when I
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
was 13 years old then needing to be preparing for my bar mitzvah the rabbis
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
working with caps I mean you need to stop watching that iPhone Tito and
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
Rebbie and get you know your stuff so I so wasn't like you were watching it cuz
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
it was the day the key know you were just watching it repeated that the
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
videotape experience I guess the thing that I did that strikes me as
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
interesting and I think it's also proof of sort of being in the modern Internet
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
age is that where you r doesn't really matter that I mean people I get that
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
sometimes too where people are sometimes surprised I'm in philadelphia and I'm
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
not in San Francisco or the Valley area that you know why you seem really tuned
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
in I don't know that really makes a difference with you know although the
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
messaging options you have been you know frankly just good old email
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
well I can see how if it's a team I can see why teams sometimes don't wanna have
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
remote workers depending on the style of collaboration and what what exactly the
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
project they're supposed to be working on together as I can see you know I
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
understand I actually understand a lot why Apple doesn't have a lot of remote
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
employees is sure to have to get an exception to the rule to be at a remote
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
engineer designer Apple but for this sort of stuff we do writing about them
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
it really doesn't make that much of a difference I don't think of course like
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
in terms of communicating with people
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
yeah ten years ago this job would have been possible living outside of the the
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
valley san francisco Cupertino area but I mean unless it was good old phone
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
calls but these days you know there's so many you know tools for talking to
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
people and in terms of you know like remote work we don't have enough I'm at
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
office I mean we just such a great collaboration tools online and you know
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
in a way doing this job not sitting with everyone in the same room you know could
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
be easier I mean I don't really have much to compare it to but that's just
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
how I look at it right it would be no
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
of all the ways that 92595 Google might expand I'm sure opening an office space
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
for you guys probably not even on the list because you guys aren't even do any
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
of you guys work in the same area not no not really I'm the only one on the west
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
coast when I'm home
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
breaks in the summer everyone else that's in New York Jordans in Canada and
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
everyone's mostly stationed on the east or ok so pretty spread I do think for me
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
personally and my you know experience and it's just crazy this is one of those
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
things where it's crazy to me because I've been writing during fireball for 12
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
years so that means you over eight years old when I started I wanna know it
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
wasn't prepared for this that must mean no te I'm guessing from your perception
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
I've always been writing their enviable always been writing their trouble is
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
that how you see it that there's always been some guy Gruber writes this site
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
during fireball about you know the thing with the group I mean classic Gruber my
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
opinion is the your story back in 2008 he called it contains spoilers where you
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
sarcastically I think pointed out all the features and all the new things are
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
going out that unibody MacBook of that and everything turned out more clearly
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
correct so I've been following your stuff for a long time and that's the
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
yeah I mean all group has been around awhile to me it still feels like it's a
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
kind of a new site I still feel like doing fireballs someone now
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
and that's obviously not the case no I mean maybe that's what keeps you feeling
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
like it's fun for me but must be crazy to me that thing that you were eight
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
years old when I started that is pretty crazy and I have found no I have found
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
that and again I'm not really in the braking leaks gamer the rumor game
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
whatever you wanna call it although I dabbled in it for a couple of years in
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
the middle and we can talk about that later but I found though that I
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
developed my best sources once I started going to things on the west coast
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
you know WBC and Macworld Expo and meeting people and it wasn't because I
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
had to meet them face to face to hear the information but it was having met
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
them even just once face-to-face develops there's a certain relationship
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
you can sort of accelerate a circle of trust where they trust me and I trust
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
them and then you know future information might come in by email or
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
instant message or something like that but having met them makes a big
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
difference but I get the feeling you haven't met most of your sources I think
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you I mean I've been going to these
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
conferences for a few years now so I've met a lot of people you know good old
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
face to face that and I agree it's extremely important so you have done no
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
wrong I was saying that I'm I guess what you had not met them but you're saying
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
you have some yeah yeah that's right yeah yeah and it definitely helps i
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
think im just human nature right here just talking through you know instant
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
messages text to another person to really get a good idea if you should
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
trust them or even if they should trust you and open up to you but when you know
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
someone in person it's like you know you you really get to know that you can bond
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
with them it and don't feel more comfortable with you in you'll feel more
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
comfortable with them so it's really like you said you don't have to you know
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
why out San Francisco to talk to them every time there's some information
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
there's other ways of communicating
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
trying to remember some of the old rumor sites I forget their names I have such a
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
bad memory for stuff like that but in the old days like the late nineties and
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
in this way before your time late nineties in the early years of Mac OS 10
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
2001 2002 there are you know as always I mean Apple Insider was around Apple
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
Insider is like the granddaddy I think of the the sort of focus on rumors type
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
stuff but there is think secret from 98 on and I should get some of the other
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
ones but they had such terrible track records they still do you know and and
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
spaghetti against the wall see what sticks approach and then the one strand
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
of spaghetti that does stick there like CCE we got it right and I always had
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
this idea in the back of my head like what would it take to run an accurate
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
Apple rumors you know what why and why are they also inaccurate if you take
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
them in the aggregate just drives me nuts to have my name on something that
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
was so wrong and regularly right yeah I mean inaccuracies the worst thing
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
someone you know our positions will we do i mean people gonna read us if we're
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
just you know spitting BS all day and we're gonna believe your future stuff
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
yeah exactly it's about gaining trust of the reader and the way to do that is by
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
consistently providing them they're looking for you know kind of my problem
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
to your point about being wrong is there seems to be a lot of talk lately people
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
grouping all websites even you know my working on a fight back into that
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
category cuz I remember like when I had the 64 bit seven chip someone tweeted I
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
think actually might have been you about like how was just spitting spit balls
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
out the wall to see what sticks so yeah I mean I don't enjoy when I see people
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
grouping us all together a kind of just makes all that hard work I put in
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
another accurate sides put in like you know come out bad but the rest
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►

that have developed over the years who I trust immensely I don't run anything
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
from a first-time source ever and that since corroborated you know several
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
times over i mean there's the rare occasion where someone will come out of
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
the woodwork and tell you something and then you know you ask the people you
[TS]
00:27:35
◼

know we've known for a while
[TS]
00:27:36
◼

the great lie in there you go but I I found that I i dont get it was weird
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
there was a couple years back I got more than it seems like I get less now but I
[TS]
00:27:50
◼

would say at least once a month
[TS]
00:27:51
◼

wasn't just like one Khuc it was you know once a month or so somebody who
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
I've never heard of before would send me email it still happens now but maybe not
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
as often as once a month but just say look I have been to know that Apple is
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
blah blah blah you know I gotta tell you like an example that I got all the time
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
I'm sure I've got some probably sitting in my inbox on red right now is somebody
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
saying that they know for a fact that Apple is going to ship the next iPhone
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►

[TS]
00:28:23

00:28:30
◼
►
don't know what they're you know and I know that I just know that they're full
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
of it like I gotta I've got these last year and like where they were right in
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
saying that last year's iPhone 5s was gonna come in two sizes I knew that it
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
was a new for a fact that it wasn't and I always wondered what is with these
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
people like what are they trying to do it just trying to make a jerk economy
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
like see if they can get me to go for it like I don't see what pleasure they
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
would get if I happened to run it or what they think I'm going to do
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
yeah that's a great point you haven't really put too much thought into that
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
but of course there's no guarantee fireball you say your YouTube audience
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
seemed not to fly back I mean I guess there are some people who might get a
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
thrill out of you know sending something that's totally not true and see but ends
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
up calling on the site
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
yeah I agree I can think of some examples and it's always from people who
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
don't put their name on the email it's you know it's it's like you know like go
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
ahead 67 @ gmail.com yeah I'm just going to run that right do you have you ever
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
read my site its very always you know strikes me as crazy but then you know
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
who knows there's a lot of crazy people out there
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
yeah the best part in my opinion is when this happens you know it's very likely
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
that they sent the same you know the ass to another site one of the competitors
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
and then when you see like another Apple rumors I just thought up there saying
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
love comes from a source Baba Baba and he knows clearly BS and they post
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
anyways it's so easy to see the processes of the competition
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
yeah I saw that I actually saw that last year was some of the screen size stuff
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
where I saw some you know second tier sites running it when I think was
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
probably sent by the same person inside come on I mean I remember like not
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
really example I can't really remember huge opposition but there was some
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
big thing about how there was no way Microsoft insider sent out a bunch of
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
details about the new Xbox that Xbox one some site ran it in from other sources
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
and then but so either side came out said Oh we all got the same kit and then
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
the guy who said today it made like this little website or blog and said oh yeah
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
yeah I remember that I remember that that was pretty good yeah I can find
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
them right it was I just
[TS]
00:30:49
◼

00:30:55
◼
►
News and text me man was like how how how to trick the press into running a
[TS]
00:30:59
◼

rumor and you know i mean it was pretty sad for me because you know I spent so
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
much time and I know you have as well as other reporters in this industry spent
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
so much time building up their brands trying to convince people that you know
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
not every Riverside is just rumor sites and then another notable site comes out
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
you know pulls this shit just you know poster and rumors that it's all verified
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
what not you know just puts a bad taste in your mouth through the whole entire
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
industry so I don't have it in front of me but as I recall the gist of it was he
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
mailed it out and nothing happen right away but I think it was SlashGear ran it
[TS]
00:31:37
◼

and if I'm wrong and it wasn't SlashGear my apologies to everybody but I think it
[TS]
00:31:41
◼

was / care ran it and they ran it with you know they weren't it pretty
[TS]
00:31:47
◼

accurately they relate look this is unverified but we have a source who says
[TS]
00:31:51
◼

white blank and blank about the next Xbox but as soon as they ran it it it it
[TS]
00:32:01

◼
►
first thing I think that comma should be a semicolon ok as commerce place but
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
it's it's it's avoid the grammar and and and stick to the details in the first
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
sentence of the reporters following friction between top Human Interface

00:37:53

Vice President Greg Christie and senior vice president Jony ive Apple's hardware

and software design is being dramatically shaken up according to

00:38:01
◼

sources familiar with the matter so first things first you were the first to
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
report that great christy is retiring from Apple yet so kudos to you for this
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
group I congratulate you on Twitter I hadn't even heard that apparently it
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
happened a couple weeks prior to be familiar with this timeline as I did a
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
lot of research I didn't really write much about this afterward but I've done
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
a surprising them
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
out of work on this all come out here on the show I'm in a couple weeks before
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
reporting make sense I mean I was trying to go I got a text from a very reliable
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
source who is provided but I'll intro for three years that christie Lee was
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
out and the source told me that you know he's leaving the joining of stuff and
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
he's leaving by the end of the year would be around the developer's
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
conference in June and so the couple weeks to make sense but I don't just run
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
after the reliable source told me I took me a few days to confirm it with other
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
people and i dont really read anything by single source so yeah yeah what I
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
heard was that and I don't think it was company-wide wasn't like you know every
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
single Apple employee but it was at least announced entirely within the
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
graphic graphic design user interface design group that you know that he be
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
retiring through three weeks or so at least three weeks before your report
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
came out ok everybody within apple who worked under in their new knew about it
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
and that to me it shows just how does a ship Apple runs that it took three weeks
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
for anybody to get the news that he that he was retiring yeah apparently it was
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
open news in this is what I've heard from a few friends I did not go I didn't
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
make it out to Macworld Expo this year but apparently it was sort of an open
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
secret there among you know people who work at Apple and people who follow in
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
the writer types who follow it that that he announced his retirement but it was
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
always under the you know every discussion about it was off the record
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
so there wasn't there wasn't anybody knew about it and could have written it
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
but nobody had it right I guess that's understandable I mean if you haven't
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
told me the off the record part I mean I guess my response would be if you're a
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
writer and you heard that you should have posted it but no it wasn't yeah I
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
don't think anybody had and just sat on but I have to say the more I dug into
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
this I got a surprising amount of pushback from its and foreign sources
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
that the friction with Jony ive angle is in order to avoid them
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
quote bullshit now it's not to say it again I don't want to fight with them
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
because I don't know I have not I've never met Greg Christie I didn't speak
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
to him he's not you know I don't have any first-hand information I mean I
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
don't even know what the guy looks like can't find a picture of my Google
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
however seen him speak at WWDC but it's very not unlike the world's worst like
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
witness like he's a white guy you know someone is probably late forties yeah I
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
mean I from the Samsung true but I have to CNN and I think you know they're
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
they're they're definitely got a result and there's you know you can't pin it
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
but you know there after your report your report came out and and I think the
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
next day there was a report in the Wall Street Journal ok quote from Apple PR
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
and the quote from Apple PR did definitely downplayed or denied I don't
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
know but but went against the grain that there was any sort of personal
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
personality conflict between him and Jony ive
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
quote correctly something about like after twenty years great Chris the is
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
retiring and he worked closely with Johnny or whatever number of years so
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
yeah I guess I agree its border line it's not really a denial or no
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
confirmation but you know Apple PR has has an agenda they're not going to come
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
out and say that there was friction you know well but it would depend almost
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
certainly made no effort whatsoever to downplay the friction with Scott
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
Forstall this is true this is true in fact I would say that the press release
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
today announced twin forestall you know
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
they called it a resignation but the you know the whole thing and the headline
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
about increased credit collaboration yeah you know almost it's not explicitly
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
but implicitly is saying that collaboration was you know wasn't
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
working while forestall was there so I would put a little you know but there's
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
clearly though it's in Apple's interests to not have johnnie I've received as a
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
market of alien wheeler and dealer that goes against the public persona that he
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
has and it doesn't serve Johnny Ives interests and necessary for exact this
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
is you know right now for this discussion whether it's true or not sure
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
whatever degree it is it's not in Apple's interests to have johnnie i've
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
perceived that way so if it is true if he is this machiavellian character has
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
that slant to it and is sort of creating a lot of friction in the user as he
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
takes over more authority in the user interface design and is pushing people
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
out and if that's a said that if it were true that he effectively pushed Christie
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
out which never said right right that's true very true if you know and I'll
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
emphasize that but I think some people came away with from here report with
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
that perception but if it is true it would be in Apple's interests are at
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
least Apple PR's interest to downplay that at least try to downplay it or get
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
people to walk it back
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
sure if it weren't true it would also be in their interests are so the fact that
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
Apple's PR you know either way whether it's the true or not or whatever shade
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
of gray it is right because the truth is almost certainly somewhere in the middle
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
but wherever it is on the shade of gray really really like great really dark
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
grey Apple PR would probably take the exact same response share in the quote
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
that they gave to the wall street journal probably would have been the
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
same so it is what's the word dispositive it doesn't prove anything
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
yeah I mean a couple points they're going back to early discussion terms of
[TS]
00:44:50
◼
►
the broken telephone I mean
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
orkut say one thing and another site picks up and says I know is that I fired
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
Greg Christie so that's one point another point is I mean Apple
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
two hundred billion dollars cash in the bank
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
company the iPad iPhone or all these products you mean you don't push out
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
these devices and have a company as large as everyone holding hands and you
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
know the ending around in circles and then there's going to be friction to get
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
these products out the door and you know it's Steve Jobs even some self johnny
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
has more authority than anyone else at Apple this is in knots and cook until
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
sheler Scott Forstall back then but you know johnny is spiritual partner so I
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
don't think it's too much to say or assume not saying I assume anything to
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
stop me and say industry serving as an energy water here that you know Johnny
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
if you want something that he gets in town I mean the story goes in terms of
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
the friction that as they were working on iOS 7 or when johnnie decided that I
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
was 7 gonna be overhauled with his design aesthetic that you know Greg
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
Christie was on board
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
wanting to do this with him and you know within federal is group but over time
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
joining really you know overstepped the bounds they're reaching into the user
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
interface team really circumventing christie's control and you know speaking
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
to christie's designers and engineers and just getting things done
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
Christie's approval kind of just like now stepping on his toes a bit and I
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
guess with 10 points 10 around the corner with this new design and all
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
future of iOS I guess Johnny and Christy and other executives Apple made the
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
decision that it was time to just move all design
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
Jony ive noticed hardware not joining providing influence leadership and
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
guidance the software but literally putting software under his belt as well
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
the way I've heard it and this is from multiple sources and I think you know I
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
think it's that's an interesting I think you combine these two takes and the
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
truth is probably somewhere in the middle
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
but what I've heard and all of this came to light this is not all of it but most
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
of it is stuff that I heard after your report and none of it
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
none of this is from Apple PR this is from other people actually in you know
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
either in formerly in or somehow you know as they say
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
familiar with the matter but with the user interface design group which used
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
to be you know for different groups I think there was the there's like it was
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
a lot more scattered before the Johnny I was gonna take over software where there
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
was like the iLife user interface group quite sure if I western Pakistan were
[TS]
00:47:38
◼
►
two different groups but the ones that were formerly more under forestall that
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
like forestall wasn't really in charge of like the iLife apps like iPhoto and
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
iMovie in those those are separate people familiar with those things to say
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
and who were definitely there's no doubt in my mind speaking not on behalf of
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
prompted by PR sure in fact the opposite wherein I don't know that will be our
[TS]
00:48:04
◼
►
would disagree with the word they said but I think you know they found out
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
about it they could be in trouble and there's a certain contingent of people
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
out there who doesn't matter what I say that they think Apple PR is all-knowing
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
and all-powerful and that they see these conspiracies in the matter what if if I
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
say it's you know ground level employees they're they're gonna say well it might
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
be ground level employees but somebody from Apple PR came in said here tell
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
Gruber this that's not the case it really is not that that is not how Apple
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
PR works about PR wants to say something they just they say they're not you know
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
duplicitous like that but the just the Craig Christy story that I have heard
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
the way I've heard it is it really wasn't friction I don't think I think
[TS]
00:48:54

there's certainly a case we made that stylistically Christie may not have been
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
on board
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
with everything related to the iOS 7 look and feel but he was not opposed to
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
it wasn't like he was pushed you know you know you know how there's like a lot
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
of people out there who really just don't like I was seven years and I think
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
a lot of them read this and they see christy is seen at their way and that
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
Christie was like a seven-hitter and that is absolutely not true yeah I don't
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
disagree I mean the whole WWDC session talking about it so profoundly in with
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
such knowledge that you know you can really tell that it was you know he was
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
a big part of it so you know that the hierarchy always went where christie's
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
group was in the engineering group and in the old days they rendered bertrand
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
and eventually they were effectively under foresaw that there was this there
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
was there was never much of a chain of command above grade Christie's head at
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
least a million in about eighteen years ago he started but in the final essay in
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
the eye in the iPhone Hira you know Christie originally reported to
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
forestall and forestall of course only reported to Steve Jobs and even when
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
steve Jobs was dead the only person really above Christie was forceful
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
at least for iOS stuff and so when they announced that shake-up 14 stall was out
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
and Johnny I was taking over they didn't really change the org chart and yes Greg
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
Christie officially reported to and I guess he still does I'm not quite sure
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
when that change is gonna take but until recently reported officially to Federico
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
because Federici took over as head of engineering but it is never been the
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
case that they really reported to federal because it's really you know
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
Federici did you know i think is very popular and he's deemed as being very
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
successful so far but there is this a complete separation now between design
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
and engineering where Federici is not a forestall type person at all were forced
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
if anything was more concerned with the design and engineering even though he
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
came up you know as the next probe next step program rain certainly understood
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
the engineering that the org chart be damned
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
ever since as soon as forestall was out and they're johnnie I was named in
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
charge of software Greg Christie had been reporting directly to johnnie I've
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
the whole time and that there was no there's really no different
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
the only difference with what's been announced recently is making official on
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
the internal org chart what had been the defacto flow of authority ever since
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
that announcement was made and what I've heard is that again this is like 3rd him
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
but I believe it I really do that that after your report and that Apple had to
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
go to the journal and stuff like that and and issued this thing that Christie
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
was deadly slightly distressed by the whole thing as he saw it as so outside
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
the truth that he really really is the case and the sounds isn't quite right
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
but that he's really just a guy has been there for 20 years and is tired and he's
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
made a lot of money and just wants to take some time to enjoy it you know like
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
a up for all the people out there who ever thought hey if I ever made like
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
couple million bucks and I was you know a lot of million bucks and I was you
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
know I'm not gonna wait Tamil do enjoy it when I think that's more or less work
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
great christy is but yet he's leaving and it seems like there's you know
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
there's this bad taste
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
now in the mouth that the story is he's leaving because he disagreed with Johnny
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
and it's not the case at all
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
yeah I mean I understand that perspective you know i i agree with you
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
i mean it's probably in the gray area there I mean I don't think I report says
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
that you know I pushed out Christie I just think it just stated facts and if
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
people read it a certain way they read it a certain way but I don't mean to
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
come off as you know Johnny pushed out Christie I mean there is unclear stories
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
about executive shake-ups in Apple recent years a member Bloomberg had a
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
headline the end of 2012 like you know any Q fires Williamson who ran maps I
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
mean I don't come out there and I fire is Christy over his eye differences
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
right now it is you know but it's the way that people like you said like that
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
what would you say if it's broken telephone yeah the book until the
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
telephone game where you know by the second or third telling it becomes a
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
story of conflict and it's really not the case at all any examples I heard
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
cited too in terms of like that that there's almost proof that Christie is
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
going out on his own terms and on very good terms is that it was just a few
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
weeks ago where Apple did something very very unusual which was it was it was
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
like the PR run-up to the Samsung Apple trial retrial where they gave NPR and I
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
think the wall street journal access to Christie and talk and let him talk and
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
show the little lab where where they'd end up the first version of the iPhone
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
interface shows like how they use I thought was pretty cool the way that
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
they used like so this was a 2006 while they were working on this the used like
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
a three or four or five-year-old G-three powerbook to power it so that they'd
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
have a device you know that that they couldn't she have a CPU that was going
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
to be a lot faster than what the iPhone would actually be able to have right
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
really fascinating stuff it's always interesting in retrospect to see you
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
know looking back about how certain things came to be but that was actually
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
after like so when Apple you know clearly let Greg Christie and this is
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
how crazy some people are is that I had a couple people write to me at during
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
fire bombs hit you think that maybe they pushed Christie out because he talked to
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
the wall street journal about the thing that you know that he broke the secret
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
code of how they made the iPhone has like no no no you know that's that is a
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
total you know that's a that's an exclusive that was authorized by side
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
something that great Christie went nuts on his right hand note your point about
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
that this Wall Street Journal interview in the simpson trial stuff this was just
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
in the last couple weeks
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
you don't find it interesting that there was no identification by Christy at the
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
trial or any of those stories that you know he's not in charge anymore I mean I
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
look back at the wall street journal story clearly says that Christie still
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
in charge of human interface design Apple after you know we're going there
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
for a number of years so you think they would have identified that baby and I'm
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
not quite sure I don't think I followed what are you saying so you would have
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
followed like you know Greg Christie identified himself as you know had a
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
human interface design just a couple weeks ago wall street journal and so I
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
just got an interesting that you never noted that he's leaving no but he did
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
but everybody at Apple already knew that he was the interview i mean obviously it
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
was you know as the company that the company's interest in those stories was
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
disorder emphasize look at the amazing work we have to do to create we had to
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
do to create the original iPhone and it's all in the context of you know
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
getting the company's side of this fight and Samsung out in the public
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
but a corollary to that like a secondary thing was that great christy is this
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
here's the thing is he's a very popular guy pushes a really really well-liked
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
person within Apple really seems like the type of person gets along with a lot
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
of people is has had a very like you said you can't find pictures you can try
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
to find photos of them it's very hard to find photos I'm you had a very low
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
profile but he's been hugely influential you know spent a lot of time working
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
directly with Steve Jobs on whatever you know pet projects of you know whatever
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
jobs you know his pants on fire for you know interface was in a lot of people
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
within apple who saw min knew that you know it's not that well known that is is
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
his work is far you know outweighs his renowned were really happy to set that
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
up forum and have this thing where he got a lot more public credit than he's
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
ever gotten before but and but now they're all a little lake they think
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
that you know now the follow-up that it that being played as conflict with
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
Johnny I and again like you said you didn't use the word conflict but they
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
clearly though there's a perception out there now
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
sure in some of the second and third and reporting that that stinks and now he's
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
upset about i mean even Wall Street Journal heard from Aaron sources about
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
how there was disagreement and design direction between Christie and I so it's
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
not like I'm the only person saying that hey there yeah yeah you know I've got
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
this I got a loose microphone USB cord on my microphone and it just pulled out
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
what it what you saying that the wall street journal had something about the
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
conflict over design yeah there was a line am a story that you mentioned
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
seeing that going to you know a person familiar with the matter
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
great Chris team joining I dunno we see eye to eye or they had disagreements
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
over right direction so yeah and I think that that's really pretty much how all
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
design work Sat
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
do you think they say here's a guy who spent most of his 18 years effectively
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
reporting to Steve Jobs charade because Christie worked on the highest profile
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
design stuff because the top of the heap and you know it's not like every single
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
pixel of every thing goes to enter Steve Jobs but it was what we know what is
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
Steve care about now and you know bad word you know better call Christine do
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
you really think you know does anybody think that there weren't disagree Vince
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
colors are font sizes are any detail working with Steve you know that's just
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
the way it is I mean Apple a lot of people who are really just in love with
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
the company they seemed to ignore just completely disregard the fact that needs
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
to happen there needs to be done for these products to be released I mean the
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
classic story steve Jobs pinning forestall against Tony Fadell
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
each other who can make the better so that she gets that I mean you think for
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
stalls whatever come up with something said so innovative that literally change
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
the entire technology world and so many other industries if they weren't
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
competing against something I mean if you don't have your head against the
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
you're not going to get much done yeah I totally agree with that and I think that
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
you know I saw in light of all this stuff we get a lot of croats you broke
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
that Christie's leaving but they got a lot of Solace tough on Twitter from
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
readers who are saying that they're worried about the whole direction of
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
Apple software under johnnie I have you know this doesn't sound good I think
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
that what you would worry me as if I heard stories that there were no
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
arguments about that stuff because if if nobody's arguing then nobody's really
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
trying to push it forward that's fair right I mean I don't think those
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
comments make much that in mind the Christmas story I mean if people don't
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
like having designed other concern about this content should have came ten nine
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
months ago already and I am sure there there were lots of comments and abroad
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
hey I was seven back then
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
so I mean this is what johnnie live once the the softer look like so there's
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
nothing in particular I mean maybe people are you are thinking five ten
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
years down the road but you know right now ten-point ends in 0 click I was 17 I
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
would say I was not look like I was so thinking anything in the day and I think
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
it's joining I've had even bigger ideas are one of the South look completely
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
different way that I was seven books that's when I was seven you know only
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
get one shot to revamp the whole look and in terms of Christy going out as to
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
what I've heard is you know there's no date set but I've heard that he's
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
probably going to stay I'm not not just their WBC but probably more towards the
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
end of the year
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
like the actual calendar year it's very possible I mean I heard specifically
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
around a BWC but I could be wrong about that well we'll see I get why so who
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
knows cuz you know Apple so god damn secret of them in the guy you know
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
little birdie will tell you right now we have we'll see I just too though that
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
this is another one of those cases were Apple being so secretive I feel like you
[TS]
01:02:02
◼
►
can't be any other way because either your secretive company or not a
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
secretive company you can't be it's like being pregnant you can't be you know
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
kind of pregnant right but it hurts them I think in terms of the way that it
[TS]
01:02:14
◼
►
would most companies when somebody of great christie's internal stature
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
announces his retirement not today would make a big big press release out of it
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
and expect national news but they would have announced it somehow you know that
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
it's it's unusual for someone is influential vice president level 22 be
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
leaving on his own terms with no internal real unpleasantness as the guys
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
had a great career done great things in his announcing it and you know nobody
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
inside the company says anything to anybody outside the company right and
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
then they lose the ability to control the narrative on that shirt into that
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
I'd say that they had a absolutely massive opportunity to get that
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
information out there in the wall street journal in the simpson trial with a NPR
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
NPR was no voice interview
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
22 yeah they could have gotten that information out there if they wanted to
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
they could have made it a national
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
I want to wonder why they didn't why they didn't say that I don't know if
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
there's something you know that they thought maybe it would lessen the weight
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
of his testimony if it seemed as though he had one foot out the door
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
you know one foot on his upcoming Yahoo arteries gonna do right now I mean I'm
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
not sure if that was part of it or not and you know who knows it could be one
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
of those things where maybe they were like 51% one-way 49% the other leg kinda
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
had it written two ways and then at the last minute that's just not saying about
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
it and then as soon as you know it the news broke that he was leaving and they
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
didn't play the way they thought it should have played like god damn it we
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
should have you know we should yeah I mean I wonder if christy is who you know
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
everyone is making me out to be which I don't know such a you know amazing
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
figure inside the company you know the 51% probably should have lead the other
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
way you know if anything what I've heard is that he's got along better with
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
johnnie than you know
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
yeah I think so probably not to spread and I think it's mostly johnny's
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
personality you know and again it's one of those things where who knows what
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
they disagreed with in terms of hey what what color should this button be when
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
you tap on it that's not that's the sort of thing where they could argue you know
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
all week long and not come to an agreement and eventually Johnny might
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
have to say you know what we're going to do it my way and there's no hard
[TS]
01:04:40

heard the same thing I invited you know it's a done deal yet already April so

there must have been hard at work at it but I have not seen it I can honestly
[TS]
01:07:16
◼

say that having seen it nobody shown me but in a nutshell that it's going to
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
look like Iowa 7 yeah yeah that's exactly the same quote unquote dramatic
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
or significant so gonna be the perhaps the biggest new feature ten-point
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
technically it shear off to the white internally I have no idea what the
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
California spot will be but I have to gather and I don't know their names like
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
that are probably the best and tightest held secret said Apple because I don't i
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
think that there's no reason for those you know you know like you know like
[TS]
01:07:55
◼

them you know you're talking about like the last one is Mavericks said they're
[TS]
01:07:59
◼

all gonna be named after places in California going forward
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
there's no reason for that sort of thing to go outside of very very tight circle
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
you know probably like shoulder and and Jony ive you know that that level
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
because it did you know they can brand that all the last-minute sure my guess
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
this is just a guess I'm gonna go with yosemite just because just because it's
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
gonna be a big change because what looks big is big branding lies right even if
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
you know like clearly the biggest upgrade versions of Mac OS 10 were like
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
the shift from PowerPC and Intel because everything had to be recompiled and all
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
sorts of technical stuff had to change
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
Snow Leopard was a big change they added all this low level stuff behind the
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
scenes like Grand Central Dispatch and really really big stuff like at a nerdy
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
computer science study how the operating system level works and famously they
[TS]
01:09:02
◼

even bragged about it you know marketing light not many new features were really
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
working on
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
you know the behind the scenes stuff so they gave it a name you know the
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
previous version was leopard they said we're gonna call it snow leopard because
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
it's leopard with you know not many new features this because it looks new I
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
think they're gonna give it a big push marketing lies as being even F
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
technically it's actually not that different it's really just a new look
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
sure yosemite is my guess because I don't know what else to me it's the
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
biggest such a great name to I totally agree terms of like you're somebody
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
being big 12 know it and it's pretty dramatic and that goes well with
[TS]
01:09:42
◼

redesigned gonna be
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
Southern California guy so I'm hoping for something like you or Malibu just
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
like a beach that represents like you know you have in your head is like a
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
sunset like a new beginning I could see malibu the only thing is I can see them
[TS]
01:09:57
◼

going back to a beach after Mavericks during a way through I don't know but

listen to this episode and they're gonna say John Gruber says that the new
[TS]
01:10:10
◼

version of Mac OS 10 will be called yosemite oh for sure like without a
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
doubt I'm telling you those of you who ever you are out there who's already the
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
headline into your wordpress.com front and I'm totally guessing nobody I don't
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
know anybody who would tell me anything like that
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
like that stuff like that isn't in the seeds that you know like you said that's
[TS]
01:10:33
◼
►
within the internal code names are named after like wine yeah I'm curious I'm
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
really curious how they're going to deal with drop shadows and I know it seems
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
like a weird thing to get hung up on talk about Apple though I mean correct
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
but so I the iOS 7 look gets rid of almost all shadows I think to the point
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
where some of things look bad like I always say pop over is on iPad and iOS 7
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
to meet look too did they just look unfinished like an unfinished design
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
because there they are over there popped over the content but with no shadow it
[TS]
01:11:16
◼
►
just looks like this weird
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
white round rectangle that she's drawn over your content right kind of like
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
mail in portrait mode of their kind of view but that's not the intention of the
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
intention is going over the content right back in the match is designed to
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
have multiple windows open and wants exactly where I'm going right so if
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
there's no dropped shots behind these windows it's going to be it's gonna be a
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
bus so I think it's going to be is gonna be a decrease their but maybe not nearly
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
as dramatic as I was seven but clearly aesthetic is going to be there and you
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
know basically just what I heard you know new icon set you know how the
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
corners on the windows are slightly rounded they're getting rid of that
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
savings more squared off in and find out I think they're going to decrease like
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
the sheen of metal cross the OS quite a bit more white space will probably see
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
some new translucency these kind of where the dog is and notifications that
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
are ya it's it's a
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
I'm really curious to see how it goes cuz you know I guess it in a nutshell
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
everybody seems to agree that in a nutshell it's the iOS 7 lock sure but
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
there's so much about the Iowa seven-month did to me doesn't work with
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
layered Windows sure and the lack of shadows and the transparency thing is
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
another thing where you really like wind and you know Windows Microsoft really
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
found this out with Vista or was it was Vista where they went overboard with the
[TS]
01:12:51
◼
►
transparency yeah but it really when you have overlapping windows the
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
transparency becomes an unreadable mess if it's too transparent
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
like it works on iOS 7 I think because you never have more than one thing's
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
tacked on a time so like when you bring up one transparent thing like by sliding
[TS]
01:13:10
◼
►
up from the bottom to get the website called activity view of what's what's
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
the thing is laid upon the bottom
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
yeah control control so it works because it's only over one thing whereas that
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
sort of you know frosted glass look you can't just have a bunch of windows with
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
over each other right read anything so do it and I'm really curious how they're
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
going to handle shadows because I was seven doesn't really have any and the
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
current Mac OS 10 look and I think this is one of those things that hasn't
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
really changed all the way back to Mac OS 10.2 0 back in like 2001 is that the
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
shadows size has always bothered me it's just way too big it looks like each
[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
window is like an inch above the other one even though there's no actual
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
parallax of you know Windows shrinking behind and stuff like that right I can
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
always notice that you take a screenshot on OS cannot have a window and you just
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
open up I can quickly whatever you can see that huge huge shadow it's right
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
it's humongous
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
right and it doesn't make any sense to me because it seems as though because
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
Windows nothing gets smaller so it seems like it's their very thin like
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
semantically they're very thin layers on top of each other very close to each
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
other but yet there's the shadows that make it look as though they're all an
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
inch apart and yet there's no there's no 3d parallax to it right i mean I guess
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
we're moving shadows would be more detrimental the Mac where lots of people
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
still use it with multiple windows open simultaneously but you know when I S
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
you know that I guess I must have missed the same way shadows wouldn't be as
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
important they're also been a lot of talk about you know what it desktop
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
version of 2007 as I would look like a lot of people playing to that iCloud our
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
car on the last year I don't think that's the right way to look at it I
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
think I dot com is basically a web based replication of the iPad out and that's
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
always what it's been even back to the first version of high klout.com
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
the leather stitched notes out calendar app reminders etc and now it just looks
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
like iPad apps yeah and the other thing too is that they don't have to deal with
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
layering right because it's one thing at a time filling your browser window and I
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
I don't think that's a good way to look either and that timing doesn't work out
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
either because I klout.com apps have had that look for many months now they
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
change that pretty much shortly after I was 17 right whereas thats the timeline
[TS]
01:15:53
◼
►
where I feel like they were really hammering away on the fundamentals of
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
what this new look for the Mac is gonna look like they came out way too early
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
they did you know the Mac stuff wasn't anywhere close to being done totally
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
agree yeah and from what I've heard like the design of 10.8 is really interested
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
a lot the last few months so like you said it would make sense to look like
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
the outcome seemed they did I klout.com alongside seventh and last September and
[TS]
01:16:19
◼
►
now nearly a year later it's not going to look the same that would make sense
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
know this so many iterations I mean that's you know if there's any one word
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
that describes the Apple design process its iterations for sure there's a
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
question about some of the your style that many maybe it's not from you it's
[TS]
01:16:38
◼
►
actually sorta 9 to 5 Mac house style and it's very very common it's it's more
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
or less I think almost the standard for the industry which is that and I think
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
correct me if I'm wrong but when you when you wrote about Mac OS 10.2 10
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
having this iowa 7 look and feel you included with the story a mock up and
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
not one that you commission but like here's here's some guy in the internets
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
idea of what an Iowa 7 version of Mac OS 10 would look like
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
sure and another example is a new but these other sites to ours does it
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
everybody does it was somebody says rumor comes out that the new iPhone is
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
going to have added edge glass no bezel on the side and then there will be a
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
picture of a mock-up of an iPhone with edge-to-edge glass but it's not a mock
[TS]
01:17:34
◼
►
ups from the source it's just we went out we had to have we had to have an
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
illustration for this story so we went out and found one that sort of fits
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
right that always bothers me as a reader
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
and my guess is sort of armchair and journalism critic because to me it's
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
like you have a good story and it's an interesting source but then you've
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
illustrated it was something that's just pulled out of the air yeah I mean in
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
terms of that 10.2 example if you're into that roundup I did template ISA
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
WWDC that was my decision to put that up there a little early I probably could
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
have done a better job saying that that was a mockup but I do think illustration
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
is extremely important and also to be extremely honest if I had an exact idea
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
of what it would look like I would have had my own market made that would be you
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
know pretty close to the real thing because I have been doing that right
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
first several years when I know exactly how something's gonna look I'm going to
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
take the time to get a great mark up to 10 mean I did this with Retina MacBook
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
Pro in 2012 all the rest of the last couple of years I think you did it with
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
some icons yes we also did that with the Iowa 7 icons last year before and they
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
came out pretty good in that police sketch style way rate like it please get
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
says hey here's the guy who robbed the 7 11 and catch him and you looking like
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
hey that's actually a pretty good sketch I would say that those icons EU
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
Commission were good in that sense right
[TS]
01:19:09
◼
►
with those icons that was the night before WWDC if we got those the design
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
of the icons couple weeks before WWDC we would have had stellar mark-ups that
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
would look exactly like the icons on the home screen that's what I did to me it
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
it because you do that you know if you know and you can commission a mock-up
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
based on what you know what you've seen or what like a source's scene
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
then when you do this like where you'll just say well I don't have that but
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
here's the here's some other guys you know guess as to what it could look like
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
to me it takes away from when you actually have it I know because I closed
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
circles back to life what we're talking about the very beginning I read your
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
stuff very very closely and I know the exact words that you use but most people
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
don't sure right you include that screenshot with your story in most
[TS]
01:20:05
◼
►
people are going to who see it are going to think that supposed to be what it
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
looks like that's a good point because that particular story was a mix of IOSH
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
stuff and some points and all the Iowa State stuff those mockups and images up
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
there that's what the real thing looks like a lot of the bottom I put totally
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
bogus in the july-september look like there wasn't a great call my part but
[TS]
01:20:26

even here in my Mac OS on a Mac OS iOS I mean the big features going to be the

sugar because it's not gonna be able to read my book trigger the phone it's
[TS]
01:20:51
◼
►
gonna work with i mean the big question here is is it gonna work with some Apple
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
hardware at first will it be like iTunes coming before the iPod will just work a
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
good analogy yeah I mean I think the most likely scenario for the very
[TS]
01:21:06
◼
►
imminent future would be looking up to the brother of Health iPhone connected
[TS]
01:21:11
◼
►
accessories that Apple's hyping up for years you know like I remember when they
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
announced the iPhone OS three way back in 2009 they have that demo of the I
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
don't think it was a glucose blood sugar checker on stage and I was a huge deal
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
and now there's wifi based scales blood pressure checkers all sorts of stuff but
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
all matters that they could you know look up in a campaign in a similar place
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
yeah I know I kind of see it and then again there may be a you know I don't
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
wanna go on too much longer but we can talk about the the wearable rumors and
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
and so clearly there's an awful lot of rumors that Apple is going to come out
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
with some devices that are you know some sort of fitness health monitoring type
[TS]
01:21:54
◼
►
stuff and they've made hiring they've hired people with backgrounds in that
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
sort of thing so it's certainly wouldn't at this point shock anybody if Apple
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
came out with a peripheral that took some of these measurements and then you
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
know saying to buy a Bluetooth to your iPhone and iPad with health book right
[TS]
01:22:11
◼
►
there but I think a lot of this stuff though is going to be left to third
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
parties and you know you know like for example like blood sugar so if you have
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
you know if you have diabetes
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
that's a huge deal right but they're going to leave that to medical companies
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
and then let you know more or less what the App Store is to axe and yet Apple
[TS]
01:22:33
◼
►
does some apps and they have new apps you know and and you know obviously they
[TS]
01:22:37
◼
►
care about things like email and the web encounter but they don't worry about
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
having every little thing that they're happy to let thousands and thousands of
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
developers fill in all those gaps and I feel like it'll be the same way with the
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
medical devices software gamble gave it to every iPhone user the opportunity to
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
hook up their accessories to that they'll have beautifully presented
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
graphs all sorts of data comparison features so I think you know Apple
[TS]
01:23:04
◼
►
doesn't need to sell ivory diabetic a blood sugar monitoring device it's more
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
than enough for Apple if it becomes well-known hey if you have diabetes you
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
really want to get an iPhone because I do boom boom boom this is fantastic and
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
even the design of the application the name health book The the icon and all
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
screams pass health I mean it's literally a duplicate of past but with
[TS]
01:23:26
◼
►
health healthy so they get pretty clear that it's going to be an aggregator at
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
least at first you had screenshots of the actual app yes do you wonder whether
[TS]
01:23:39
◼
►
that is like us stand in for pre-release does it look the one thing that struck
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
me about it is that looked so much like passbook it almost looked confusingly
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
like passbook like you do you know more similar than I would think the two apps
[TS]
01:23:55
◼
►
would look as two different
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
had the exact opposite opinion I thought it was extremely polished compared to
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
the other stuff regarding iOS either I see it so it seems more policy other
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
parts the operating system like they've clearly been working on it for a long
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
time of course the design can and probably will change a bit but I know
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
that's the design that's been used and tested highways safer for several months
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
now so but it's like the real you your your shirt again not that it's finally
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
everything gets tripped up until the horse but but that at the time that you
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
had the screenshot that was what the app was intended to look like at this moment
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
yes it's not like hey we will end up this thing that looks like passbook
[TS]
01:24:39
◼
►
while we show it to our partners because we don't want them to see the real thing
[TS]
01:24:43
◼
►
no I do I didn't sit on that it was pretty it pretty immediate like to hear
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
anything else I am NOT her I've heard much more about the visual changes to
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
Mac OS 10 then I O Si O Si ya heard about the stuff besides the health book
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
improve maps out polished up data that our views of like where streets are and
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
of course the transit mode which I have heard they're having a hard time with
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
terms of sorting the data they don't want a repeat of the data aggregation
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
problems from iOS 6 has launched so we'll see if transit transit is
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
extremely hard because it's none of it is land and it's almost like a heads off
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
to Google for getting it as well as they do because none of it is regularize
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
there's no standard for how a municipal transit authority should put the transit
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
info on the web it's just it's almost like back to the days before RSS feeds
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
were people had the screen scrape HTML and parse the HTML on every site HTML is
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
different so if you more or less had to like special case every single city or
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
web site and the web scraping days but for transit now you pretty much have to
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
do each every single transit authority you pretty much have to do individually
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
because everybody reports the data different
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
right and it's not like out what went out and just created or you know to call
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
the state of herself this is a direct blow but it seems on the surface to be
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
just similar to what they did before
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
acquired a budget companies and data sources and they're mixing it up
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
altogether and I think that at this point calling the guy gets disaster
[TS]
01:26:23
◼
►
iPhone iOS 6 maps onto 2012 is the end rather pull the feature another testing
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
it now the long something that's not ready to go especially in the back so I
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
also think I think look and feel wise I think this is sort of that johnnie IV
[TS]
01:26:38
◼
►
employees worry I think johnnie I've in all aspects sort of goes for a sort of
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
more timeless look like away from trendiness and even know it sounds
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
ridiculous because flat design became such a lofty used term in the last 18
[TS]
01:26:55
◼
►
months or so dirty right but I don't think it is I think he sees it as as a
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
more timeless style and maybe it went to fly so I think I think maybe the dial
[TS]
01:27:06
◼
►
back in a little bit more texture I hope but just a little just a touch but I
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
haven't heard anything to point to that but i no way that like you know the
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
Porsche 911 has looked like the same car for fifty years just slowly evolved year
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
over year and the way that especially starting with the the iPhone 4 that all
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
iPhones since have been sort of quick you know you can just telling somebody
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
has an iPhone in her hand right point although the five see you know obviously
[TS]
01:27:40
◼
►
is its own unique thing but anyways but the the ones with them you know more
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
rectangular corners in this metal frame around the sign you know that I think
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
that we're done with radical changes to the Iowa seven UI for years to come
[TS]
01:27:58
◼
►
for sure we'll see tweaks year over year but that this general flat look is to
[TS]
01:28:04
◼
►
the software what the iPhone 4 shape was to the hardware couldn't agree more I
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
mean all indications my essay is just gonna be tweaks here and there to the
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
user interface but nothing in terms of
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
the overall philosophy or style behind it and of course they're gonna fix up
[TS]
01:28:20
◼
►
you know the screw ups in the voice memos app in terms of it being confusing
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
simply notifications that are a bit but no nothing to you move away from this
[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
aesthetic yeah they did a lot of that with Iowa 7.1 really I mean it's just
[TS]
01:28:36
◼
►
one of those little things where they've got to be on the OS has to be on the
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
same shipping schedule as the hardware and if the hardware had to have iowa 7
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
you know and whatever new phones and iPads have coming out this year are
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
going to be running iOS 8
[TS]
01:28:54
◼
►
they're gonna be devices they can't boot Iowa seven that's how it is every year
[TS]
01:28:59
◼
►
so there had to be something called Iowa 7 that shipped in September because
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
that's when the iPhones came out I think that I was 7.1 if iOS
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
was just software-only and Apple didn't do their own hardware 7.1 was the first
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
version that I think they would be shipped yeah it's not just about bugs
[TS]
01:29:19
◼
►
but also that they like you said they cleared up a lot of navigational
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
ambiguities for sure absolutely anything you can see how much care really went
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
into the move from seven to seven point one of those I i mean forget the new
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
more rounded slider how are you going to the weather at I mean something that is
[TS]
01:29:38
◼
►
not important as little clips to show the snow the rain clouds like the days
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
to come in like the week view those have been changed immensely as well so it's
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
the small things shows the level to tell ya I'm almost surprised I think they had
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
to I think they felt like they had to because they know that I was seven cuz
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
it was so much in so little time
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
it was so much in so little time
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
you know that they really needed to dig in and do a pretty significant point one
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
release I think it's probably the most significant point one release in Iowa
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
history but not surprised because it took so long because it clearly was
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
eating into the time where I S eight development was ramping up right now yes
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
why you know because they want to do these things annually they don't have
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
much time from when they ship Iowa 72 where they've really gotta have most of
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
their engineers working you know all week long every day on I was a right and
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
you can see the shift there like every year the fewer major clean up these
[TS]
01:30:39
◼
►
dialects like there was like I was 4.3 iOS 4.3 that was three major point of
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
these thoughts for i dont member how far 3.0 3.3 but now I mean like we're going
[TS]
01:30:55
◼
►
from sent out at some point in the next big ones gonna be point out 60611 7.0
[TS]
01:31:01
◼

[TS]
01:31:08
◼

[TS]
01:31:13
◼

for the rest of the year
[TS]
01:31:14
◼

you know accidents and I want to talk about it and I believe it was the second
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
quarter and a third quarter earnings call last year too upset hate 2013 we're
[TS]
01:31:23
◼

[TS]
01:31:27
◼

plans for a cross and he said the word cross 2014 and this was not only on the
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
call itself but in the press release to and here we are mid-april nothing or end
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
of April almost and not a word not a soul and in two years ago it was two
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
years ago they had a January event New York for e-books and education right I
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
was sort of a one off they've never followed up
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
but I kind of felt like it was hey we don't you know you know don't forget
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
about us while we were in a quiet period after the holidays last year they didn't
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
do anything until WWDC and they put that out there they kind of spread the word
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
that hey we're not gonna you know when I can remain the same told WBZ in this
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
year they didn't say it is just let that that late March Early February February
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
and March time frame where for a couple of years they were announcing new iPads
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
they've just let it go without announcing anything like I kind of
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
thought months ago if they had new product categories to announce like what
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
the iPad was in 2010 and 2011 that that would be the time when they would do it
[TS]
01:32:45
◼
►
because they moved the iPad to the fall that's when everybody expects new iPad
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
this year again but it opens up that February March area for new product
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
categories and I was thinking that the I mean I know that Apple TV was planned
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
for introduction in the first half of 2014 it could've been pushed back could
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
have been delayed for you as wide but I mean with Tim Cook saying that there's
[TS]
01:33:09
◼
►
gonna be new stuff cross 2014 including a new product category at some point
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
during the year
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
you know something to go wrong i mean CEO of Apple wouldn't say new products
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
across 2014 and not released new products across 2014
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
it or when I wonder I'm maybe something slipped or maybe it's you know we know
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
the date for WBC its first week in June right that still leaves plenty of room I
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
think for a cross the year where if you know but I think it would require
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
hardware announcements at WWDC not just software announcements yeah I think
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
that's a given at this point I mean I don't know though given for what
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
announcing what kind of hardware laptops at the very least I'd say well BC I
[TS]
01:33:54
◼
►
don't think that counts I think something
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
be on laptops I think not that they have to not that they're going to but that to
[TS]
01:34:02
◼
►
sort of hit that that definition of announcing new products across the year
[TS]
01:34:06
◼
►
it has to be more than just updated MacBook Air MacBook Pros could be the
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
next to watch you know every now and again don't think this is true because
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
the the phone stuff is so gargantuan in terms of the ramp up in in the supply
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
chain that they can't they just cant keep it secret weeks in advance anymore
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
but you know I thought before in theory what if they you know announced the new
[TS]
01:34:36
◼
►
iPhone then what if the iPhone you know how like the two years ago to come up
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
there in the first iPads with the retina displays the iPad 3 and then six months
[TS]
01:34:45
◼
►
later they said here's iPad 4 with Retina display and you know better 886
[TS]
01:34:50
◼
►
processor i mean that makes sense in terms of the recent talk about how the
[TS]
01:34:53
◼
►
four point seven inch model in the 5.5 maybe the four point seven VDC and later
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
in the year the hope that what I don't know or maybe they just say here's the
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
next you know his iPhone 6 and it comes out six 6 months or seven months after
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
my guess would be more like eight months but there's no promise that you get it
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
that if you bought your iPhone 5s on day one that you are going to get twelve
[TS]
01:35:17
◼
►
months of this is the top of the line iPhone right course I mean but I don't
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
know Apple TV could be at WWDC announcement to yeah I thought the same
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
thing that that could be I'm not hearing anything about it and just pulling stuff
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
out of manhattan thinking what they could announce the only thing I know
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
about Apple TV is I know that there are some amazing engineers working on Apple
[TS]
01:35:43
◼

refresh perhaps at the new software SDK iOS I mean look at the Apple TV
[TS]
01:36:12
◼

like they really interact with the Apple only websites I mean during fireball is
[TS]
01:40:39
◼
►
not an Apple rumor site

fortunate that Apple rumors that you but I mean I'd be more concerned or more
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
yes I don't know if that's the right word cuz I probably would be upset
[TS]
01:40:48
◼
►
either way but I'd be more concerned if like MacRumors getting invited to those
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
events which there so I don't think so either know it's a good point and part
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
of it they do seem to have had a couple of years ago a sort of reflection
[TS]
01:41:04
◼
►
inflection point where they they've really all of a sudden opened up to
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
online only
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
publications like where previously they really only given top terror press
[TS]
01:41:19
◼
►
access to print based journalists so and it was a lot more limited so like the
[TS]
01:41:29
◼
►
first couple of years

iPhone review units only went to Lake poke mossberg

for for writers for a live video and they were all had roots in print you
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
know the Wall Street Journal The New York Times USA Today and it seemed like
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
they had a moment where I started getting I had press passes back then but
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
then I never had review unit of anything and then they really opened up and
[TS]
01:42:09

01:42:23
◼
►
review the iPhone four for us just got time on the next one question I believe
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
in fact I'm almost certain that it was the Verizon iPhone 4 which is a little
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
interesting because it was not a major event I think I could be wrong but I
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
think that things remain memories shot but I'm pretty sure that I was out on
[TS]
01:42:53
◼
►
the west coast for Macworld Expo and it worked out that I could just swing down
[TS]
01:43:00
◼
►
to Cupertino and get a briefing and signed all the NDA's and pick it up and
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
you know I haven't but otherwise it would've gone like from Philly up to New
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
York as they they went you know they had a team go to New York to distribute them
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
to writers there but I think I'm almost certain that the that was when it
[TS]
01:43:18
◼
►
started and I think I've gotten a review unit of every iOS device sense right
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
away if I missed anything it wasn't anything major right right yeah your
[TS]
01:43:28

◼

[TS]
01:44:41
◼
►
watch you got to drink I mean it'll be interesting to see which direction to go
[TS]
01:44:46
◼
►
into I mean based on all the recent hires it really seems like it's gonna be
[TS]
01:44:50
◼
►
a medical appliance or have a medical medical I think I don't think so i think
[TS]
01:44:55
◼
►
thats all I think it's too limiting and it's no fun it's not I think it's one
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
complete any human I thought it was the the phone web browser and I thought I
[TS]
01:45:03
◼
►
don't think you would be farfetched to think that a watch is gonna be your
[TS]
01:45:07
◼
►
media your health and some cool mapping functionality something like that I mean
[TS]
01:45:14
◼
►
hires in terms of those from the medical space it's really been a thing across
[TS]
01:45:18
◼
►
2013 and 2014
[TS]
01:45:21
◼
►
you know how the Apple product cycles work i mean i phone was in the works

two and a half years three years before that launched and if they got all these
[TS]
01:45:28

medical hires over the last year two or so and we're talking about people's
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
lives here
[TS]
01:45:33
◼
►
FDA regulations I don't think we would be able to be able to ship a device that
[TS]
01:45:37
◼
►
does everything their newly hired engineers are capable of creating this
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
year or even early next year so I'll tell that could be for future
[TS]
01:45:46
◼
►
generations and they could start off like you know the original iPhone 3G
[TS]
01:45:50
◼
►
could be just a few medical things here and there some core mats functionality
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
getting your notifications and then over time they could you know of all the
[TS]
01:46:00
◼
►
product to be something
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
trigger I do think in a couple people have been writing about it recently it
[TS]
01:46:08
◼
►
doesn't seem to add up financially to be an IV phone or I even iPad style
[TS]
01:46:15
◼

business now cuz i phones from Apple's perspective accounting myself words 6567
[TS]
01:46:23
◼
►
$800 each
[TS]
01:46:24
◼
►
you don't pay that when you go to the carrier but the carrier that pays Apple
[TS]
01:46:27
◼
►
like you buy a new 50 s starts at like six hundred and fifty bucks
[TS]
01:46:32
◼
►
iPads you know now clearly you can get the iPad Mini
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
without cellular for you know three hundred and fifty bucks but the bigger
[TS]
01:46:43
◼
►
ones you know are 45 $600 devices I don't think you can sell a thing you
[TS]
01:46:48
◼
►
wearing your wrist four five six seven hundred dollars or you could sell it but
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
it wouldn't be wouldn't sell to enough people right although this is ridiculous
[TS]
01:46:56
◼
►
talk about the thousands of dollars for you I watch any of its colder later
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
something but that's totally not now I was going back and forth some people
[TS]
01:47:08
◼
►
into the day about it and somebody else I forget who but some reader genotype 2
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
chimed in and said sure lots of companies sell thousand dollar watches
[TS]
01:47:16
◼
►
multi $1000 watches but those watches are heirlooms you're expected if you go
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
and buy for $5,000 water even two or three thousand dollar watch from Rolex
[TS]
01:47:27
◼
►
or Amiga or any of the companies that make watches like that you're expecting
[TS]
01:47:32
◼
►
to have a watch your gonna own for the rest of your life that you can pass on
[TS]
01:47:35
◼
►
to your children going to be you know useful and even better it's going to be
[TS]
01:47:42
◼
►
even better than it was right because if you had like your grandfather's Rolex
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
and it still keeps great I'm gonna have this great old style gonna be timeless
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
and you've got this connection computer devices you know don't write whatever
[TS]
01:47:55
◼
►
that thing is three or four years from now things going to be in everybody's
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
destro because it's going to be three or four year old technology yeah yeah
[TS]
01:48:02
◼
►
probably be used by that I mean if you look at that Apple update cycle I mean
[TS]
01:48:06
◼
►
even the iPhone 3G s quite useless you can lead a software so
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
ya gotta think about it in terms of iPod pricing I really do you know for sure I
[TS]
01:48:20
◼
►
also feel like maybe the same that we're all overlooking is just the way that
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
like the iPhone came out and had all these sensors that just nobody ever
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
really thought of before not that the technology was amazing but that all
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
together it was like a proximity sensor so that the phone goes off when you hold
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
it up to your face to make a call right she doesn't register as a touch and the
[TS]
01:48:39
◼
►
accelerometer right and you know and they had the Super Monkey Ball Z game
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
right there on day one in the App Store taking advantage of it but now it's like
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
nothing right but it was the combination and you know that you could put any one
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
of them maybe wouldn't be all that expensive and wouldn't be all that
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
amazing but you put four five six of these centers in a device that you put
[TS]
01:49:04
◼
►
on your wrist and all of a sudden maybe you do kind of get an amazing array of
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
you know that this information about yourself
[TS]
01:49:11
◼
►
but I don't know and I also feel like display why's it if it's anything it's
[TS]
01:49:17
◼
►
gotta be like some kind of like new technology that nobody's thinking of
[TS]
01:49:20
