00:33:51 ◼   ► like 11 would be it just looks exactly like the iOS version and 10 is looks as [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► much like pure what what's the google you i am called material this material [TS]

00:34:07 ◼   ► design uh as as pure material design as possible with like 2 through 9 being a [TS]

00:34:14 ◼   ► continuum of how much it looks like that which is also to me an interesting thing [TS]

00:34:20 ◼   ► in terms of the difference between Google and Apple where Google stuff on [TS]

00:34:23 ◼   ► iOS is very popular and but yet really looks a lot like right material design [TS]

00:34:28 ◼   ► and Apple music on Android i think is actually pretty you know on that scale [TS]

00:34:33 ◼   ► of one to ten I think it's sort of like a seven or an eight it's it's much more [TS]

00:34:37 ◼   ► android like then iOS like to my eyes [TS]

00:34:40 ◼   ► yeah I i actually can't say I've ever used it so well i've i've installed it [TS]

00:34:45 ◼   ► on my little I've seen the screenshots then fold it and poked around just to [TS]

00:34:50 ◼   ► see like what the sharing she looks like and stuff like that but anyway I and [TS]

00:34:54 ◼   ► here's my argument for my argument for putting some credibility on it is like [TS]

00:34:58 ◼   ► someone that rumor leaked a lot of people wrote to me and said no way would [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► Apple do this because they sell hardware they you know it behooves them to keep I [TS]

00:35:06 ◼   ► message proprietary but my answer to them is nobody buys an iphone to get my [TS]

00:35:10 ◼   ► message [TS]

00:35:10 ◼   ► it's it's a nice thing to have once you have an iphone and you're in the apple [TS]

00:35:14 ◼   ► ecosystem but nobody buys it [TS]

00:35:16 ◼   ► that's not a selling point it's just a nice thing you get afterwards I i think [TS]

00:35:20 ◼   ► where Apple could make some money on this is if they if they add payments [TS]

00:35:24 ◼   ► time message [TS]

00:35:25 ◼   ► yeah if I can send you money by Apple pay over I message then I think it makes [TS]

00:35:29 ◼   ► all the sense in the world for there to be an android version right I i do [TS]

00:35:33 ◼   ► question nobody buys at an iphone because of my message i think it is one [TS]

00:35:38 ◼   ► of the lock-in apps that sort of like I wouldn't consider going to an android [TS]

00:35:44 ◼   ► phone [TS]

00:35:45 ◼   ► mostly because of my message like there's a fit i have a family [TS]

00:35:49 ◼   ► conversation I have a friend conversation all of you know these [TS]

00:35:52 ◼   ► groups in my life and their own I message that's a penguin and i don't [TS]

00:35:56 ◼   ► think i can get them all to pick up and go to whatsapp or facebook messenger but [TS]

00:36:02 ◼   ► I don't look I don't think I i don't know i don't know enough about the [TS]

00:36:06 ◼   ► market of how big that market is for people who feel like I messages the [TS]

00:36:10 ◼   ► reason I'm you know there's there's plenty of other great things that an [TS]

00:36:14 ◼   ► iphone that probably wasn't a good point i actually i'm gonna i'm gonna say that [TS]

00:36:19 ◼   ► you changed my mind [TS]

00:36:21 ◼   ► change your mind yet you yeah because that you know what I was I was too [TS]

00:36:24 ◼   ► focused on the upfront idea of buying an iphone whereas once you have an iphone [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► and you're used to I message it absolutely is a reason that you'd be a [TS]

00:36:33 ◼   ► little reluctant to switch right so it is it's the lock-in angle that it more [TS]

00:36:37 ◼   ► than the $MONEY up front angle like once you have it you don't want to lose it I [TS]

00:36:41 ◼   ► I I just couldn't I like even when i'm reviewing an android phone and I tried [TS]

00:36:46 ◼   ► you know I put my sim in but I'll still keep my iphone on Wi-Fi or whatever [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► because I gotta I gotta get my messages and I hear you talk about my singing [TS]

00:36:57 ◼   ► with my Mac but you know I'm i think that like many times I think Apple that [TS]

00:37:02 ◼   ► it's not like apple doesn't enjoy locking features but i don't think that [TS]

00:37:06 ◼   ► they prioritize them over other things and I don't think that I think whatever [TS]

00:37:10 ◼   ► lock-in advantages they see with iMessage being ios-only for mobile could [TS]

00:37:16 ◼   ► easily be overruled by the [TS]

00:37:19 ◼   ► the money they could make by having a Apple pay as a device to device payment [TS]

00:37:25 ◼   ► method [TS]

00:37:26 ◼   ► mhm I can't know but there is a trade-off there there's stuff that [TS]

00:37:29 ◼   ► trade-off i think i'm going to right now just like I wish that I mean and maybe [TS]

00:37:34 ◼   ► it will be with the new I message and I was ten like venmo will be easier Lee [TS]

00:37:37 ◼   ► and integrated into the what are they called message apps [TS]

00:37:41 ◼   ► mhm I'm but I don't see why apple juice just do it itself [TS]

00:37:45 ◼   ► mm you know what I mean like why doesn't it just power through Apple pay [TS]

00:37:50 ◼   ► I you know say i want to spend $15 22 Gruber and I you know in inside and I [TS]

00:39:07 ◼   ► all to use our phones [TS]

00:39:09 ◼   ► it's actually the best thing that could have ever happened to Apple pay and to [TS]

00:39:12 ◼   ► android pay because all of the terminals that are being installed have NFC and [TS]

00:39:17 ◼   ► them and so it's basically a software upgrade on the point-of-sale people [TS]

00:39:23 ◼   ► companies have spoken to to enable that for that for the retailer's yeah and the [TS]

00:39:28 ◼   ► thing that's interesting to me is that you don't need to see the Apple pay logo [TS]

00:39:32 ◼   ► for Apple pay to work it's just like the one that just looks like a little almost [TS]

00:39:37 ◼   ► looks like a Wi-Fi symbol and it right it always it always works there were the [TS]

00:39:40 ◼   ► ones that work yeah there was one time last week where it didn't work for me at [TS]

00:39:43 ◼   ► starbucks and gave me at like I don't really got into some kind of circle but [TS]

00:39:46 ◼   ► then the next day I went back and and it worked again [TS]

00:39:50 ◼   ► yeah with no Apple pay logo on the starbucks one great yeah it's weird [TS]

00:39:53 ◼   ► because starbucks does support apple pain they never have signs that say we [TS]

00:39:58 ◼   ► have this there and that's one of the things I'm writing in this pieces that [TS]

00:40:01 ◼   ► you set up your phone for Apple pay and just try it first [TS]

00:40:04 ◼   ► I mean you know you're already gonna lose a lot of time out yet with the chip [TS]

00:40:07 ◼   ► I get it but you know ability it's kind of like the same amount of time to just [TS]

00:40:11 ◼   ► try it doesn't work you have your credit card i it and it's so funny because [TS]

00:40:16 ◼   ► Apple pay what was it two years ago when it first came out [TS]

00:40:20 ◼   ► yeah and its second and whole foods had it and I'd use it there and I'd get the [TS]

00:40:25 ◼   ► what was that you know I Kelly act that you know what are you doing there and [TS]

00:40:28 ◼   ► now all of a sudden that it's working and all these other places i'm getting [TS]

00:40:31 ◼   ► it all over again like people who have never seen a potentially what did you [TS]

00:40:34 ◼   ► just do it I'm like it's called apple p you'd like just take a picture your [TS]

00:40:38 ◼   ► credit card you know go to the wallet app take a picture credit card and then [TS]

00:40:42 ◼   ► you can just go up two places and and just put your finger on the thing and [TS]

00:40:44 ◼   ► they're like that is the coolest thing I've ever seen [TS]

00:40:46 ◼   ► yeah i think a lot of people don't even know that it's there and and especially [TS]

00:40:51 ◼   ► also now that it you know it's it's gonna probably work more and more and [TS]

00:40:54 ◼   ► more phones it's it's I think it's a the chip thing has been a disaster but I [TS]

00:40:59 ◼   ► think there's a silver lining in it I noticed it was a very interesting to me [TS]

00:41:04 ◼   ► as a user experience critic i bought some shorts at j.crew and they had the [TS]

00:41:12 ◼   ► chip thing and your shorts did know how that the terminal [TS]

00:41:16 ◼   ► uh-huh and I put my I put my credit card in for the chip and then went through [TS]

00:41:23 ◼   ► the chip process and when it was done it was like authorizing you wait a second [TS]

00:41:28 ◼   ► and then when it was done it made this terrible noise like and and and now and [TS]

00:41:35 ◼   ► and on the little terminal it says remove card now remove right now right [TS]

00:41:39 ◼   ► in all capital letters and so somebody decided that to make sure nobody forgets [TS]

00:41:44 ◼   ► their credit cards that right better make a scary [TS]

00:41:46 ◼   ► yeah it's the complete opposite of Apple pay went out yeah it is confirmed you [TS]

00:41:52 ◼   ► get this beautiful i am i some kind of money i'm going through the video right [TS]

00:41:56 ◼   ► now I'm trying to collect these sounds so like we're at we're like we actually [TS]

00:42:01 ◼   ► to hold the mic up at the at the register you know to get the the sounds [TS]

00:42:05 ◼   ► but you're totally right i know exactly what you're talking about so with Apple [TS]

00:42:08 ◼   ► pay you get this beautiful thing and it just feels like hey you just did [TS]

00:42:12 ◼   ► something cool you're living in the future and with the chip you get like [TS]

00:42:15 ◼   ► this yeah sounds like the star trek you know red alert when the Klingons are [TS]

00:42:20 ◼   ► attacking like you're about to die right now the whole the whole situation is [TS]

00:42:24 ◼   ► just like who [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► everything it does feel like taking 15 steps back [TS]

00:42:29 ◼   ► I'm with the whole payment system is like I get it secure but like I'm having [TS]

00:42:33 ◼   ► this hugely awkward 10 seconds where I don't really know what to do and you [TS]

00:42:38 ◼   ► know [TS]

00:42:39 ◼   ► yeah i've also like I mean New York City store clerks are sort of fed up with me [TS]

00:42:44 ◼   ► because I've been going into stores and doing six methods of payment so like I [TS]

00:42:49 ◼   ► collect all this stuff and I like I'm gonna actually put this on six separate [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► cards did it at trader joe's which is like typically the longest lines in new [TS]

00:42:59 ◼   ► york city and the local woman was like just dying she's like this is so cool [TS]

00:43:03 ◼   ► who's gonna win neck but yeah so I'm payment obsessed but I look forward to [TS]

00:43:11 ◼   ► it i think that it's it's just so interesting to me that it seems like [TS]

00:43:16 ◼   ► Apple pay was ahead of its time because it's already here and ready to [TS]

00:43:21 ◼   ► capitalize on this seemingly mass turnover and point-of-sale terminals [TS]

00:43:27 ◼   ► that that's happening right now [TS]

00:43:28 ◼   ► yeah and it's actually it's I've been thinking back on this because you know [TS]

00:43:32 ◼   ► now being in the industry for almost a decade you sort of get to to really see [TS]

00:43:37 ◼   ► those moments when a company does you know as as it usually typically is apple [TS]

00:43:42 ◼   ► takes what has been going on and makes it really really seamless and you know [TS]

00:43:48 ◼   ► was thinking back to Google Wallet you know I i was one of the people who wrote [TS]

00:43:52 ◼   ► about the first impressions of google wallet [TS]

00:43:54 ◼   ► and you know it was like this hugely clunky thing where you have to hold the [TS]

00:43:58 ◼   ► phone up to the right thing yet to launch the app you know it only worked [TS]

00:44:02 ◼   ► on the Nexus was at the nexus might have been just the nexus of the Samsung Nexus [TS]

00:44:07 ◼   ► you know and it only worked at like one retailer in the country and it just [TS]

00:44:11 ◼   ► didn't work right and then so you know you had a couple of iterations of that [TS]

00:44:15 ◼   ► and then you know then Apple pay comes out of whatever it's actually probably [TS]

00:44:19 ◼   ► like four years later Apple pay you know requires the fingerprint it works really [TS]

00:44:23 ◼   ► well it launches the thing and that we have samsung pay that basically does the [TS]

00:44:28 ◼   ► same thing even better because it works at more places and we have android pay [TS]

00:44:32 ◼   ► that also does the same thing so you know it was theirs took it a little bit [TS]

00:44:37 ◼   ► of time for us to get here and there's certainly a uphill battle as you know a [TS]

00:44:41 ◼   ► lot more retailers have to try and support this but it really does feel [TS]

00:44:45 ◼   ► like there was this turning point with Apple pay ya i really want to see this [TS]

00:44:49 ◼   ► NFC stuff go elsewhere to like I i really want to see the airport switch [TS]

00:48:02 ◼   ► yeah it's yeah yeah not a hundred sixty dollar a pretty decent android phone and [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► stand to take to bring down the price and take a hit if they're really loading [TS]

01:19:44 ◼   ► know I really no indication about this all right and we've heard no leaks which [TS]

01:20:03 ◼   ► what would the hardware improvements be that would make that even better and i [TS]

01:20:08 ◼   ► happen to think they all a lot of them are fitness-related I'm because that was [TS]

01:20:20 ◼   ► the charts popular so it seems like there could be design considerations to [TS]

01:20:24 ◼   ► emphasize that more and I think now that they've rethought the way that the the [TS]

01:20:27 ◼   ► two buttons work the crown right but that's right that's right [TS]

01:20:31 ◼   ► they've rethought the way they work in the u.s. I think for the better even on [TS]

01:20:34 ◼   ► the old watch the existing watch that we know but if they're rethought them like [TS]

01:20:38 ◼   ► that in the software why not I don't know what they would do I don't know but [TS]

01:20:42 ◼   ► it's something to make them even more apt to the new purpose in the OS totally [TS]

01:20:47 ◼   ► tony and i think that and I think the thing could be thinner [TS]

01:20:50 ◼   ► yeah for sure yeah so and battery life possibly a little bit better but that [TS]

01:20:54 ◼   ► you know and i find it crazy that there's no speculation about it I don't [TS]

01:20:57 ◼   ► know we have had something to do with the fact that like somehow in the supply [TS]

01:21:00 ◼   ► chain they've got a new you know they're doing it in a way that actually can hold [TS]

01:21:04 ◼   ► the secret in a way that the iphone supply chain obviously can't remember [TS]

01:21:09 ◼   ► and because of that if it doesn't leak through the supply chain it just doesn't [TS]

01:21:12 ◼   ► percolate out to our speculation but seems crazy to me that there's not more [TS]

01:21:15 ◼   ► speculation right now at the beginning of august the end of july about a device [TS]

01:21:21 ◼   ► that I think we're going to hear about in like six weeks right [TS]

01:21:24 ◼   ► maybe it doesn't ship that no I just like they did you buy but this year they [TS]

01:21:29 ◼   ► would have to ship before Christmas right right exactly where right yeah [TS]

01:21:33 ◼   ► November yeah they could ship as late as like early November I think but that I [TS]

01:21:38 ◼   ► add that's all and i would expect that I would expect that the iphone ships in [TS]

01:21:42 ◼   ► September but that i do announced a new watch it will be like October thing [TS]

01:21:46 ◼   ► yeah I agree yeah I'm you know I feel like that's one of the big you know [TS]

01:21:50 ◼   ► hopefully will be surprised when we go out there in September to hear about [TS]

01:21:54 ◼   ► this stuff but I down with you i think that they're going to do it and the fact [TS]

01:21:57 ◼   ► that there's no rumors about it i think it's just sort of [TS]

01:22:00 ◼   ► I don't know what it is I I guess I mean maybe I'm wrong maybe there is you know [TS]

01:22:05 ◼   ► they just had in the Christmas selling the same watch they've been sewing for [TS]

01:22:08 ◼   ► two years but it seems crazy to me that doesn't cross behind your dollars right [TS]

01:22:12 ◼   ► yeah 200 bucks last year right like a the one offered at target [TS]

01:22:17 ◼   ► I mean that's the 1i see that's I see that one a lot [TS]

01:22:21 ◼   ► I see women wearing the rose gold one that was offered on cheaper at Target [TS]

01:22:26 ◼   ► and Walmart than most most of them huh I see a lot of women wearing them I see [TS]

01:22:32 ◼   ► more I see an awful lot of them [TS]

01:22:34 ◼   ► yeah i mean that's you know New York workout seen as Apple watches other [TS]

01:22:40 ◼   ► stupid stuff its butt and me and that's like one of the things I'm also really [TS]

01:22:44 ◼   ► excited about which is the competition stuff that's yeah you know you can [TS]

01:22:48 ◼   ► compare others [TS]

01:22:49 ◼   ► I'm excited about that and watching us three yeah so I definitely think that [TS]

01:22:52 ◼   ► that is I think it's just overwhelmed by the speculation about the new iphone [TS]

01:22:56 ◼   ► whatever they're going to call it right [TS]

01:22:58 ◼   ► I definitely think it's coming and I think it'll be really really interesting [TS]

01:23:02 ◼   ► because i feel like the iphone is at a point where it's almost 10 years old and [TS]

01:23:07 ◼   ► there it's not surprising to me that the new iphone is supposedly so similar to [TS]

01:23:11 ◼   ► the success because they've had so many times to iterate it that there they've [TS]

01:23:16 ◼   ► sort of that achieved the Platonic ideal of the form factor at least in their [TS]

01:23:20 ◼   ► mind [TS]

01:23:21 ◼   ► whereas the watch they've only done one and it's like think back to like the [TS]

01:23:25 ◼   ► early years of the iphone in how quickly they you know went from the original to [TS]

01:23:30 ◼   ► those plastic 3 g's to the 4s or the 4 and 4s you know they made significant [TS]

01:23:35 ◼   ► improvements and changes to the form factor in just a few years and I feel [TS]

01:23:38 ◼   ► like they could do the same with the watch right right [TS]

01:23:41 ◼   ► and last but not least if we're going to talk about that I do believe because i [TS]

01:23:44 ◼   ► know people will ask i believe that if they do have a new watch that it will [TS]

01:23:48 ◼   ► remain strap compatible with the existing watch straps [TS]

01:23:52 ◼   ► yeah i think that makes sense that's why i said--that's why put this new watch on [TS]

01:23:55 ◼   ► actually found this band and it's like that it was those the new felt band what [TS]

01:24:01 ◼   ► is that what they call these the i forget what that's called and i really [TS]

01:24:04 ◼   ► like it and I really you know it kind of like and I you know that the whole band [TS]

01:24:09 ◼   ► thing it's really it's so smart and we really deny the nylon [TS]

01:24:40 ◼   ► that yeah Frank it just feels too heavy and it just feels weird when you sweat [TS]

01:24:43 ◼   ► on it and whereas this nylon fabric feels like it's almost like an athletic [TS]

01:24:47 ◼   ► material [TS]
