saving your pennies for a $10,000 Apple which I am going bottom line is used
[TS]
00:00:05
◼
►
refurbished please call them refurbished if I could get one refurbished it
[TS]
00:00:16
◼
►
probably would buy my philosophy is that particularly with the with the early
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
ones just to be price conscious because you know I i'm not you know I am not
[TS]
00:00:30
◼
►
completely sold on the benefits of it yet and and and i think that the next
[TS]
00:00:36
◼
►
the ramp up its gonna get this steeper in the beginning I'm fascinated by it
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
because I think it's so much fun it's a it's it's a very fun time to be in our
[TS]
00:00:49
◼
►
racket of talking about Apple in writing about Apple is nobody has any idea what
[TS]
00:00:53
◼
►
the hell is going on and I love it I really do love that we're all just lost
[TS]
00:00:58
◼
►
an arm I'm not pretending that I'm not lost I'm completely lost I don't know
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
why you note in your your lost because why because well because I sure of what
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
it does exactly I'm don't comply in terms of price rule aside like let's
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
just assume I'm just getting the aluminum base model because I'm a
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
skeptic and you know I feel like if I love it maybe I'll get a more expensive
[TS]
00:01:23
◼
►
one next year whatever I still have no idea why would want to where I really
[TS]
00:01:27
◼
►
don't do you know where to watch for time you were watching yes yes I have I
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
went in for a watch forever and the battery died
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
online at like right before Christmas and I was like well that's great I'm not
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
gonna spend 15 bucks on a battery of my way so I have now been wearing
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
so and so does it drive you nuts how quickly did you guys still rather I'd
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
like to just look at my hand for the time i've i've wanna watch since I was
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
15 14 15 sometime in the middle of a pocket watch my grandfather did my
[TS]
00:02:10
◼
►
grandmother had given me a pocket watch so I carousel for a while and
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
embarrassing facts about me they're very cool though I don't know you're not the
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
way I did it I think he had a piece a couple years ago about how the end I
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
totally understand all the people out there I'm sure that probably seventy
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
percent of the people listening right now are all still thinking the same
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
thing which is i dont wanna watch because my phones with me all the time
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
and I can take it out and get the time from the sound which is why I totally
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
valid it's just in maybe if I was a kid today that would ever do that I'd never
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
advise that I have the habit I've
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
you know twenty 20 some years of wearing watch every day I mean hard habit to
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
break a piece I think I think it was quite a couple years ago where you just
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
you know pointed out that using your smartphone as your watches pretty much
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
the exact same mechanism as you know our grandfathers with their partner much
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
it's in your pocket you take it out and got the time and put it back and I'm not
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
you know it works I just feel like it's a distraction with my kid around like
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
the minute I get my phone out it becomes like I got over lets you know what's
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
going on and on dads phone
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
what's what games does dad have and what can I can i play with its phone and so
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
it seems like a watch is not sure like a smart watches gonna be much better than
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
a whole different series abstractions yeah I i dont know it's I never was
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
impressed with the notifications using the pebble but you know maybe the fact
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
that you can interact with them here will make a difference I don't know that
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
you could do in a pinch you can dictate you know a reply using Syria I'm still
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
unsure anyway the two so there's two reasons that I feel like I'm totally
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
lost I still don't quite get what it is that I would like about this and number
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
two is this whole edition model I I totally think it's gonna cost thousands
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
dollars I totally don't understand how they'll sell thing for thousands of
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
dollars that presumably is going to be you know outdated and three years
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
technically I don't get it I got told him to do it
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
holy don't get how that works
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
and your your view of the price points remind me of you the price points so we
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
know the winner of the aluminum 13 50
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
the stainless one is gonna be thousand is that right I yeah that's my ballpark
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
and I've been thinking about it I think but I think it could be something like
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
like that it averages 2000 because like let's see if you get the stainless with
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
a with something other than the metallic band maybe at like seven hundred dollars
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
or six 649 650 bucks for the stainless to start but if you get the one with the
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
metal band or that mesh metal band maybe it's like $1100 and I know that there's
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
a lot of people who know nothing about why 20 why in the world with a metal
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
band make it cost $500 but if you look at the way watches a price that's that's
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
actually pretty typical like that
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
metal bands on a premium watch are crazy expensive yeah I don't say some people
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
I've talked to seemed to think that the stimulus 100 bucks but I don't think so
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
either that doesn't seem like that's the only thing that works if you're trying
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
to upsell and I don't think at this point they will be yeah I think that
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
they you know they and it brings up another point with something that almost
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
I haven't seen anybody talk about is are there going to be storage tiers is there
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
gonna be like an 8 16 32 gigabyte split I I don't think so unless it corresponds
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
to the materials like F Sport is 8 gigabytes and stainless is 16 an
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
additional 32 but I don't I can't see how they would do
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
aluminum at 8 16 32 and keep adding 50 bucks a hundred bucks or something like
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
that seems to compete at that point it seems to be way too confusing because
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
you've got all these you know seems like all of the
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
choice after makers about what colors you want what bands you want and then if
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
you multiply that by two or three with storage tiers it's you know it's a place
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
to start with the absurd basically almost like shells for things that are
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
going on on the phone rang
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
the address add anyway yeah the only thing that i could think you need
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
storage for right now the third party i mean but they said though they've
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
already announced that there will be a full quote full SDK later in the year so
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
there will be some spaces you'll need wraps but it's so so even know ralph
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
right off the start with the initial STK they're kind of 10 then perhaps that
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
just communicate over the air to your iPhone apps let's presume that later in
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
the year means that you know obviously this year so you gonna need to put out
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
something it has the Photos app but I would guess right that it's going to be
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
there you know if it's only one and a half inches big they can shrink the
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
photos before they sing come over to your right I don't I don't see much
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
point yeah I don't think that you're gonna need a lot of storage for your
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
photos and what else is there I guess you heard right right so it's just so
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
you know I don't think you need a lot of storage still be nicer if it was 16
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
instead of eight but but nobody is really talking about it
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
yeah I lived with us for gigabyte iPhone four years
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
you know it was pretty
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
then it worked
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
so special
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
Yeah Yeah right now it's movies video and all the mega replayed I can't see
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
the other things that I wonder about is if there's a I'm gloves leaning towards
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
getting a smaller one cause I don't have a very big breasts and a traditionally
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
mens watches you can often get a smaller size I don't buy ladies watches but you
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
can get a men's watching smaller size and I was also is leaning towards a
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
smaller one but the only thing that makes me wonder is is that there's gonna
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
be a big difference in battery life between the two gas and buy whether
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
there'll be a price difference to me I price it should be there would not be
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
but it's possible I don't know and I guess in the edition model there almost
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
certainly would be because even though you're not really paying for the gold
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
you know like the the golden just a fraction of the price I think it's still
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
I feel like you're in the premium materials you can have two sides you
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
know you have to pay by the price right and the other thing is that I have
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
always just the smart watches still are huge by large metal ones that are out
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
right now and as the ones where ones are very large and the large one is not too
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
much smaller than most of those were the small one is fairly significantly
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
smaller than those yeah i buy had a Motorola 360 on my wrist was way too big
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
yeah it's definitely pretty big I although you have to it you know I the
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
first one I saw in real life was I ran into Andy and not go at the airport on
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
the way out to the iPhone Apple watch event actually he he was flying through
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
Philly he'd like boston affiliate we're on the same flight and it was like this
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
is weird that looked just like candy like Joey you know he's serious size man
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
it looked OK on his rest only looked OK on his wrist it it looked funny yeah it
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
doesn't know it's pretty big not much looks good but that definitely did not
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
look and it's not a huge it's not goofy it's just it big though it was pretty
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
well it's funny because you know that a millimeter is very small right at end of
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
a centimeters you know one millimeters pretty you know give or take
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
and so you see all these watches are always size no meters and it's you know
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
you see that this one's 39 and this 142 and you think well that's probably about
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
the same size but like that that's not true I got 39 is sort of like a
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
traditional men's wrist right size by today's standards a little small and 42
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
is actually kind of a big watch the really big ones like people are selling
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
like 46 millimeter watching yeah I think part of the problem that Motorola 360 is
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
just that it's a cylinder
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
the dozen the edges are graduated so it just sits right on top of your list all
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
the way around
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
now so it's not so much that's not necessarily the diameter that does
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
designer lack thereof
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
yeah now I think it
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
seemed totally and I know that it looking at them on the web it's it you
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
can tell that it's a much smaller than competing smart watches but once I in
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
the real world and people can compare them side-by-side I think the difference
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
is pretty striking and who knows what that means for battery life
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
clearly it has some kind of you know some kind of hit on battery life because
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
you know figures bigger bigger watch has a bigger battery and famously everybody
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
is saying everybody knows anything about the you know the rumors of the watch you
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
know everybody saying the same thing that you know battery life is a huge
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
concern and they were obviously very cagey about it and what they've said
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
publicly what do you think that the that then getting all these people from tuzla
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
is related to just battery in general or or I don't know enough saving up for
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
your up I don't know I don't know enough about battery technology even though I
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
should because in 6th grade science fair project was about batteries since then
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
though I have to take it up you should go back and have fallen way behind my
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
understand like I have no idea whether somebody who is an expert in this sort
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
of big battery that you would need to move acid a hand rail for 300 miles
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
would have any kind of expertise that would be applicable to the sort of
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
battery you want and seven millimeter thick phone it strikes me as odd jobs in
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
thing to do to hire somebody who makes the trunk battery and telling ok I just
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
put that in a watch I would I'm thinking probably is probably you know somebody
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
is an expert on one can can quickly get up to speed on the other it might be it
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
is likely is anything you know who knows I think that there's such a crazy
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
boom are are you know it's it's a seller's market in Silicon Valley if
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
you're a talented engineers of any sort it seems you know so I think you know
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
who knows it may not even be that specific you may just be you know
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
there's a bunch of smart guys it s let's just try to steal we need we need more
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
short people but did you know I guess that you know that's the other thing
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
that broke loose since last I had a technical talk shows that the journal
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
against the wall street journal is it is more I said flatly that Apple has won
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
over a hundred people working on the car seems a lot of people for its you know
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
still secret project
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
yeah I guess I have no idea it tastes like a car it makes even less sense to
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
me than not that I would not that they wouldn't you know like I think that the
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
basic gist of in broad as a writer room writing catches people's imagination in
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
a broad sense it feels basically like it could be true because cars are market
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
where a there's a lot of them so there's a lot of money to be made
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
be it's a market where design matters and has always mattered everybody except
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
that design matters and cars right there's not it's not like with computers
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
were people you know four years would say you know apple just waste money on
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
design everybody just yet
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
you know some people would say that would you know will spend three days
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
picking out their new car because they you know care about it so design matters
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
and three it feels like it's you know technology is about to revolutionize the
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
industry you know people are talking clearly there's the switch in energy
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
from gas to electric and there's the whole self-driving angle as well as the
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
just the interface interface is that you interact with inside the car
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
yes yes exactly are already involved in right right and that you know it all
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
goes hand-in-hand where the cars are getting more computerized inside
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
I mean it's they've been computerized for a while in terms of things like when
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
the antilock brakes kick in and and stuff and I mean like the user and you
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
know what you deal with you know have you shop worker recently no I have not
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
shopped for car since December 2006 so the last time I shop for a car
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
the iPhone wasn't yeah it's creamy and some of that stuff is crazy I
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
and I was coming from so I bought a new car in December and I was going from a
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
95 Integra snow so I was not prepared for that level of screen in your face
[TS]
00:16:45
◼
►
inside cars today and and I had an idea of the kind of cars that I had picked
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
out certain cars to look at and my first reaction was just like oh my god our
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
system there's to not only is there one big screen there's two screens in this
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
car and to do anything you know you have to to be tapping a touch interface in
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
order to like increase the airflow in the car and that kind of thing and it
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►

is sailing into it there

well here's here's why I thought about this and I you know my name and my quote
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
it's very interesting to me because clearly Ian Parker had complete access
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
to johnnie i've and he talked to a bunch of other people that we talked in court
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
he talked about men trio talked to Jeff Williams and it was months in the making
[TS]
01:01:07
◼

it involved I think he seems as though he traveled to England to talk to Johnny
[TS]
01:01:12
◼

johnny's father you know he just sort of thing that the new yorkers one of the
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
few publications in the world that can do this because it's expensive I it's
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
expensive to do this kind of reporting he had access and there's all sorts of
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
interesting quotes that you don't typically get from Apple executives
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
surely he asked them about watch pricing and is nothing inherently doesn't say
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
that he did but I must've right and they must have said no comment we're not
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
going to talk about pricing at the time but maybe like did he come up did he
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
quote me because he you know he reads me I readies or liability or off the record
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
today was a member of it the Steve Jobs we think John Gruber's piece on this was
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
inside like maybe they said off the record you can't quotas but we thought
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
John Gruber's principal yeah we thought his piece on the pricing was inside ploy
[TS]
01:02:13
◼

not Nick I really wonder about that was something that they they said we can
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
talk about this but you should look here
[TS]
01:02:24
◼
►
yeah that's certainly possible that's the to me it's it's the stupidest sort
[TS]
01:02:32
◼
►
of like four levels of indirection confirmation but the fact that he had
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
such access to Apple and even he points to the edition watches being you know
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
quote many thousands of dollars is the steamy the surest thing it's more sure
[TS]
01:02:51
◼

than even the sort of back of the envelope math I've been doing under fire
[TS]
01:02:55
◼

ball with just the price of gold and how much gold is actually going to be in the
[TS]
01:02:58

very long time you know since late nineties and he's obviously not

comfortable and rather than you know an apple people you know he knows enough if

compensation from Apple is and has been widely now but as far as I know it's not

and I don't know I don't think they have to do it for everybody there might be
[TS]
01:20:25

like certain legally defined positions like the chief operating officer to see

that he would job selfishly wouldn't wanna let the attention than anybody
[TS]
01:22:26

else he wouldn't have allowed an article like that about himself but I do wonder
[TS]
01:22:31

the absence of jobs they carry the message Apple's current leaders aren't
[TS]
01:34:55

without public speaking skills but they can't match jobs is charisma which was

[TS]
01:35:47
◼

is a long does a lot of talk about the digital background I would definitely
[TS]
01:35:54

[TS]
01:36:22
◼

crown position but it's just a button it's a good thing is to wake the phone
[TS]
01:36:26
◼

or to you know activate something he's not something you twist like the Apple
[TS]
01:36:30
◼

01:36:34

spinning the crown repeatedly tell you I've said it before I'll say it again
[TS]
01:36:38
◼
►
once these things come out and everybody can try one it's going to be there's
[TS]
01:36:41
◼
►
gonna be like an entire week of people talking about how it feels to time
[TS]
01:36:45
◼

because it is the word lugubrious did you did you see dams 10 warrants piece
[TS]
01:36:53
◼

on six colors about the color yea even linked to it inside the current security
[TS]
01:36:58
◼

at another head-scratcher
[TS]
01:37:00
◼
►
who talked about it in our pockets is very weird when he pointed out I was
[TS]
01:37:05
◼
►
like what the heck is going on there right so if you buy any shots so many
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
shots showing a color that matches man I can confirm that the ones at the hands
[TS]
01:37:14
◼

on all were like that so if you buy like the edition model with a red leather
[TS]
01:37:19
◼
►
strap has a red matching red insert and the flat part of the digital crown and
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
if you buy the addition with a white bandage as a white insert but the thing
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
that makes it so confounding is that they also talked about how easy it is to
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
take the bands on and off which makes you insane well then it's gonna make
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
matching rate you're gonna you know by you know people with money to burn gonna
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
buy multiple bands and you know what else is the point of making it so easy
[TS]
01:37:50
◼
►
to swap them but then the digital insert won't match them but seems curious why
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
not just make it a neutral color when I just keep it cold
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
yeah and the sport watches neutral is just the color of the body is it our the
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
sand in the same in the same with stainless steel so it's just the
[TS]
01:38:12
◼

addition yeah and it just seemed and it just seems weird I don't know
[TS]
01:38:17
◼

[TS]
01:39:35

[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
suggestions about the design of lightsabers
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
Abrams told me that Star Wars The Force awakened would reflect those thoughts
[TS]
01:39:50
◼

but he wouldn't say how after the release of the film's first trailer
[TS]
01:39:53
◼
►
which featured a fiery new light saber with a cross guard and a resemblance to
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
a burning crucifix I asked about his contribution was just a conversation he
[TS]
01:40:02
◼
►
said then explained that although he did nothing about crossing guards he had
[TS]
01:40:07
◼
►
made a case for unevenness thought it would be interesting if it were a little
[TS]
01:40:12
◼
►
less precise and just a little bit more Spiti a redesign weapon could be more
[TS]
01:40:17
◼

analog and more primitive and I think in that way somehow more ominous that's
[TS]
01:40:24
◼
►
brilliant absolutely it sounds like you know and I was like serving it is but it
[TS]
01:40:34
◼

was most people seem to like this what Chinese and not the cross which most
[TS]
01:40:44
◼

people don't seem like I'm not bothered by it I'm not bothered by it either but
[TS]
01:40:48
◼
►
you know a lot of people are spitting dance a little bit more speedy and it
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
would make it you know less digital or analog would make it more ominous is is
[TS]
01:41:00
◼
►
so totally true and it's so precise right I clearly I think part of his gift
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
is that
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
he's able to communicate is feeling so well

[TS]
01:41:52
◼
