Ramirez G tanker him from or how long was your I was a review
[TS]
00:00:09
◼
►
200 pictures I need to be put down you know and I mean that sincerely that is
[TS]
00:00:18
◼
►
because not just because you're the guest on the show but for years I i've
[TS]
00:00:24
◼
►
been thinking man would it be great if if somebody wrote I West reviews each
[TS]
00:00:30
◼
►
year the way John Siracusa does Mac OS 10 reviews and I realize that you do
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
like they're all there there there all the way back to Iowa stew and you know
[TS]
00:00:41
◼
►
it was just like iPhone OS two or something like that and they are
[TS]
00:00:47
◼
►
book-length twenty-one thousand words that's more closer to a book then an
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
article I just I always feel this need to explain things that if Apple gives us
[TS]
00:00:57
◼
►
WDC sessions and give us ki knows but the kids are fast the WWDC sessions are
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
super geeky and I just picture my mom and my dad really wanted to find out
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
what's going on and trying to rate that for them that's true I don't know it
[TS]
00:01:10
◼
►
it's you know Apple's these OS updates are getting they've always been deep but
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
I was seven I was there is so much and from a marketing perspective Apple
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
really just can't cover in detail they can't publish twenty-one thousand words
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
about it you know and it's it's like they're moving so effectively year over
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
year that it's it is I think it's truly a challenge to keep up I take the
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
Syracuse a thing as a huge compliment I can't say that I blame anyone nearly as
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
competent as he I used to write these things but i think thats exactly exactly
[TS]
00:01:50
◼
►
a day are so especially like extensibility and how it works in the
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
container Absynthe host out and how the security and privacy is handled a really
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
complicated topics and I i watch those sessions for five times each cause I
[TS]
00:02:04
◼
►
want to understand them better and the rating process is sort of me
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
digesting and figuring out what it all means
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
yeah I I almost made it the other way I do mean it as a compliment I mean it as
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
a profound compliment but I almost worried that the way that I posit that I
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
say hey it took me years to realize this that we already had somebody doing it
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
and it's you I almost word that comes across as an insult because they say it
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
took me years to realize it and I think I don't mean it as an insult anyway but
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
I do think that maybe the reason it didn't dawn on me right away that your
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
style is so much more understated it is a very you know you personally are
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
almost out of the picture and it's a I know that this word in terms of
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
journalism is grossly overused but it's a much more objective viewpoint and with
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
Siracusa he's always there right it is it's it's Mac OS 10 reviews
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
very specifically from his perspective and and as it pertains to his obsessions
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
he's got an amazing authorial voice and you can he he talks the way that he
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
writes and you just you always know what exactly John and I i have my bias is a
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
try to stay up front on them but I think there's just so much to cover that I
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
have to get out of my own way when they do it
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
yeah I totally agree so a lot of writing puts its good because this way I can
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
have someone on the showroom yeah those especially to watch peace and the iPhone
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
review those are amazing thank you thank you it was both and I you know I really
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
did but write them both in one waking day from Mike around one in the
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
afternoon till 6 a.m. just one after another I admit I hadn't notes all over
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
the place from you know they days prior I mean it's certainly like I didn't I
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
didn't start writing in a vacuum but I just all had one notes and wrote them
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
both and I think they were both like a little over four thousand words so like
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
eight thousand words in one
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
working day which is needless to say unusual I like to watch one especially
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
because we've had people who cover smart watches read about them and we've had
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
people who do cover watches write about them but you made a really selling point
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
in your piece of that these two cultures are gonna clash in the middle and you
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
poke some fun my friend Phil Mickelson yesterday and rightly so because he was
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
saying that you know the $70 watch band with a hefty price and people have no
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
idea what's coming when these two industries emerged I think
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
opposed to the clarification today and and the point cuz I think it was it was
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
misinterpreted where I am NOT cheerleading or clapping or or smugly
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
sitting in my arms folded about the idea of multi $1000 watches I'm just saying I
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
think that that's what's coming whether you like it or not whether you have a
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
strong opinion on whether you think that's cool with you think it's
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
ridiculous and preposterous but I do think and again like something like a
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
band that costs $500 if you think thats hefty I would I would agree that sets
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
you know I don't think that no matter what your income 34 $500 band just the
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
band is you know have to have to use a decent work and you know like I'm in my
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
research for the white piece I was looking at things like what does it cost
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
to get like an actual Rolex stainless steel 90 precious metals but stainless
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
steel replacement band and they they sell for at least $2,500 cause I think
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
the ones you can find online or sort of grey market because of the authorized
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
dealer for Rolex and other brands like that don't advertise prices but let's
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
just say that's in the ballpark if you want to think that that exhibit and I
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
I'd see exactly what you mean I may not necessarily agree but I can totally see
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
the reason of somebody they I could say that to regional position to take that
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
nobody should buy a watch that the band alone cost $2,500 totally reason I don't
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
necessarily agree but it's reasonable than $80 $80 right there smacking them
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
the mainstream watch market that's absolutely true I have another friend
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
Kevin and he collects watches he has six or seven years ago makers and pat her
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
eyes and relaxes and other brands whose names escape me but when he first heard
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
about the Apalachee loves technology and he said though he was not going to buy
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
one unless they had one that was in the thousands of dollars because it it
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
wasn't the kind of watch that he was interested in and now when he read your
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
piece specifically he said that it made him even more inclined to buy it and
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
he's frankly the more expensive they get the more appealing that is to him as
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
someone who looks watches well we're only a couple minutes in but here it's
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
impossible for us in one show even by the the ever-growing length episodes of
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
the show there's no way that we can talk about everything and I think the watches
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
unfortunately gonna be cutting for because the phones are now i've had for
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
a week I S eight is out in his new and you have covered it i think it's fair to
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
say more extensively than anybody else maybe federico with only be the only
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
other person I could think of whose whose depth of coverage of Iowa see is
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
in the same ballpark and I think we'll be lucky that I would think we'll be
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
lucky to finish on time even with just those two things and we can talk about
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
the event itself which I didn't really cover and I usually like to do and maybe
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
that's where we can start got a bunch of sponsors to run through this so that
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
means you know let's take a break before we even get started talking about the
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
event and let me tell you guys about her first concert are good friends at
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
Harry's is one of the sponsors they've been with the show for a while now they
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
keep doing it if you haven't tried these guys so what is Harry's to Harry's is
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
company looked at the men's shaving market every aspect of it from the
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
hardware the blades and razors and shaving cream and stuff like that
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
the hardware products just looked at the whole thing is that this market is ripe
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
for disruption you're not getting you're paying too much and getting an inferior
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
product I was on electric shadow today in and Moises described you know the
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
stuff you get from Gillette as looking like forget what he said something like
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
a cross between a disco in Hot Wheels car just bad industrial design cheap
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
carry stuff their their razors their handles are so nice and they just look
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
like something that built to last
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
quality wise and built to last design was just in terms of like you could buy
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
one in ten or fifteen years from now it's still gonna look nice it's just
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
right it doesn't look like it's from this decade or that decade just quality
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
design and they're disrupting the pricing because they're giving you a
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
higher quality stuff at lower prices
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
the starter sets an amazing deal for 15 bucks you get a razor moisturizing shave
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
cream and three razor blades why pay 32 bucks for an eight pack of blades when
[TS]
00:09:30
◼
►
it's half the price of Harry's and the big thing to think it's important is
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
that they're not just slapping a name you know they do have a cool name or
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
brand name ship stuff and call boxes but they're not just slapping their name
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
carries on blades made by others there's a serious about controlling the whole
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
thing the whole widget is that they purchase their own razor blade factory
[TS]
00:09:50
◼
►
in Germany and they're producing their own high quality high performing German
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
razor blades
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
it's just great great stuff I can't be can't say enough good things about about
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
their products so where do you go to find out more go to Harry's dot com H A
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►

[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
alright so the event in the Flint center big mystery white box out front for a
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
while you were there I think you're sitting two seats down from you and jim
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
wright me you Clinton Morrison
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
down now getting invited to these sort of events that's how many times have you
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
been to like a keynote with a press pass my second and the first one was so that
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
you know it's you know I hesitate to say new Apple but it is an evolved Apple I
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
would say new employees like a change in direction I would say it's more of an
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
expansion of a Directioner audience yeah I think that's absolutely fair it's it's
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
sort of like some of the constraints of fallen away from them you know and you
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
know openness is indeed the right word I compare this all the way back to the
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
original iPhone 2007 original iPhone 2007 review units were only given 24
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
people I think it was a dbag USA Today poll get the times mossberg then it the
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
journal and Steven Levy newsweek that was it
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
they were the only four ppl entire planet who got a review unit at the
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
original iPhone and I would say even for a few years after that the people who
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
were on the list of your get preview no review unit a week or two weeks before
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
actually comes out was limited to text a published long established print
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
periodicals even if most people nowadays even those days were reading them online
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
and then slowly they started adding people from online only publications you
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
know the Engadget and people like me and and downpours and tell ya
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
and it's you know so that's why I say clearly what they've done is they've
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
greatly expanded list of members of the press who are getting invited no longer
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
I still think it's still selective I can't even imagine how many requests
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
they get that they turned down but I think it's opened up in a way I think in
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
a right way where it's people who should have been I think it's long overdue that
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
you've been you've got invited to stuff like this
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
Daniel Dilger from AppleInsider as I think maybe she was the first but it's
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
you know certainly within the last year that he started yesterday called with
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
two yep serenity was around the world nations for a long time yeah but they do
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
it's I'm never sure without the weather is the publication or the journalists
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
that they're inviting its both is my feeling I don't think I think it's sort
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
of the equivalent of asking whether Apple hardware software company you know
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
it it's both because like for example and G sigler when he was full time at
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
TechCrunch was getting invited and then when he left TechCrunch but before he
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
joined Google he still got invited even when he was in a full time person and
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
I'm glad collecting gadget is another good example yeah perfect example I it's
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
clearly though and i cant help we talked a bunch of us because we had like an
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
hour to burn you for the event
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
knowing about i mean that's what we do said their insider gossip but it's it's
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
almost impossible not to drive conclusion that it has something that
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
this expansion of the list and less exclusivity has something to do with
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
Kasey Kahne's
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
it was also a much bigger venue then they've used for iPhone events in the
[TS]
00:14:24
◼
►
past and often at least Woodside capacity issues but they made sure they
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
had room for two thousand odd people including fashion bloggers and you
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
introduced me
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
to watch bloggers were there too
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
yeah you know I didn't know Ben Clymer personally even though I've been a fan
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
of this site for a very long time but I actually thought about introducing
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
myself to him in advance just sending an email I don't know if i could assume
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
that he's returned fire but maybe but even if not I would take that pointed to
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
say what I do and just saying hey did you get an invitation to this event
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
because I thought that would have been you know sure-fire tell that they were
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
gonna do watch I can't help but think to the fact that guy and maybe he couldn't
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
say maybe got an invitation that city can talk about it but I think the fact
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
that that Ben Clymer was there and it presumably other people from the watch
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
world is why the fact that they were gonna do watch leaked within about the
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
last week was even just a month prior when I suggested that maybe they would
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
do the wearable at the September event even though all the previous rumors said
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
it would be in October thing it was like a big deal for a day that I said that
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
everybody was expecting October right and then all of a sudden about a week
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
before it was like are you going to do and can't help but think it's because
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
they started inviting people
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
well i mean that that joke comment that you made was terrific mean that bad
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
propagated credibly quickly across the internet
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
yeah well it really was though wasn't just anybody told it to me it was
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
honestly just a hunch that it would make sense as a single event here is this
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
thing where you can do touch I D on your phone here's this thing you know to pay
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
the payment thing was coming and it just seemed like well why not do it with the
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
watch and same thing with all the health tracking whereas I don't see how the
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
watch would fit with an iPad and you seventy event in october is going to be
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►

iPhone event
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
yeah and that's the other thing too I did see I that I didn't know you know
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
nobody knew
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
dance that it was going to be a eight you need you need an iPhone to fully use
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
the watch right you know they've said to use it . even know a lot of its
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
functionality is not dependent on being within proximity the phone but yeah that
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
makes sense to and it's not surprising and it was it was a really strange
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
morning as uni and I think we're standing with Jason Snelling a couple
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
other people and we noticed that Apple was quite as I live blogging their own
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
event which I yeah that's totally now you know and I you know I've always
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
thought that what you said with the capacity that they cite have it here
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
because we can't find a bigger place I don't recall and and Jason snow doesn't
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
snow that seems to think that they might have done this at some point but I can't
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
recall them ever using Moscow near West other than as a keynote from Macworld
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
Expo WWDC when when you know moscow has already been rented out that they've
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
never and I think you know and he said he thinks maybe they have but it's hard
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
because of somebody else like and last week for example Intel Developers
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
Conference in moscow me west so they couldn't had to literally could not have
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
done it but I don't think they've ever done that and that's a huge room
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
potentially other than that they have five in all the years I've been going to
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
these things I've never seen one that was in an event venue as large as the
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
historic for Apple to because he made a point of putting out this is where the
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
Mac in the iMac oranges use the biggest surprise to me and this sign that Apple
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
PR has truly evolved and changed that brian lamb was invited and now at the
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
great great wire cutters site
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
and I think it's great that he did but the reason had remarkable is that he's
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
the guy who was running Gizmodo back when they had their hands on the stolen
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
iPhone from the bar where the Apple engineer at left it and he's the guy who
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
answered the phone when Steve Jobs personally called and said give me back
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
my phone and said no you know we want something from you before we get it back
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
here the fact that he is now off the shitlist and on the invitation list is
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
remarkable I even with all of the expansion of it even with the return of
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
Gizmodo has everybody who was there back then has gone from Gizmodo now they've
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
you know dr. sites go through employees you know like butter churning even if
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
you believe a penalty box has expired on Gizmodo he never quite sure if the ban
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
on that specific players been listed exactly you know and I think it's right
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
i think you know forgive and forget you know brian lamb is doing very different
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
work and much better work these days and why not but i just no way I cannot
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
believe that that would happen if Katie was there again if he'll sort of like a
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
huge constraint that had been on them has been lifted and they can do a lot of
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
the things that they probably thought would be cool and fun along time ago
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
like the countdown timer on apple.com totally yeah and the live blog guess I
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
have suspected an end would put a computer does not live blogging it right
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
from the floor with us
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
did you see him know he he wasn't there apparently oh I didn't know that I
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
looked around for but it was so many people I I'm surprised I found as many
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
people friends that I knew before the event as I did it was so crazy I took a
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
panoramic picture and a couple people comment and i twittered it and a couple
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
people said it looks like like one of the Disney World theme parks in the
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
morning before they open the gates you know when thousands of people show up to
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
try to be you know get on the rides first time ever really did its some
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
people were saying in in Apple's a little cagey about stuff like this is
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
how many people actually were there I don't think they they don't like to
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
answer to that but somebody said that they had the capacity twice that of your
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
I I don't see how that's possible that has to be more than twice I think
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
because I've been here many times and have never seen half that many people
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
there I you know it seems like a third fewer someone mentioned it sees between
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
2000 and 2,400 and I saw later some people that I know some friends have
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
were there and they tweeted that they were there and I did not see them at all
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
throughout the entire course of the event the other thing I thought 20 lot
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
more Apple people there to even with this expansion in the list of press who
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
are there to cover it which is definitely true they invited way more
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
Apple people to be there at the end when Tim Cook said hey everybody who's it
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
from Apple please do me a favor stand up right now she might have the crowds yea
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
verily they had an internal lottery in some of the department they couldn't get
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
everybody so you get a chance to go and a bunch of people that picked so you
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
know after a week and a half now has a record this looking back on how do you
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
what do you what are your thoughts on the event is all I think the event I
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
have sort of two trains of thought about it one is that I think the stuff itself
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
was really really interesting stuff they showed off the iPhones was similar to
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
when they finally went from AT&T to Verizon they finally went from four inch
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
to larger iPhones and you can argue whether she had done that earlier I
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
think they had really good timing but also it wasn't quite like the iPad or
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
the iPhone event and I think specifically the iPad of it because
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
steve Jobs was so careful to say this is your phone this is your laptop
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
this is the tablet and this is what it does better than both those things and
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
this is a reason it has to exist in with the iPhone it was you know these are the
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
old keyboards and this is why their wrong and the old input methods and
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
technologies and why they're on and for the phones and the white we got a list
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
of really amazing features but there was never that one moment where Tim Cook or
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
anybody at Apple said this is this is the reason this has to exist for the
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
iPhone sex or the I what I think it was clearly we can extrapolate it like I i
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
watch is clearly convenience and the iPhone 6 is clearly a higher class of of
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
software eventually but it was never stated outright
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
on a single slider and a single sort of slogan I think for two very different
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
reasons though I think with the iPhones its they're not hard for anybody who's
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
used an iPhone to get their heads around the screen is either bigger or way
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
bigger and the cameras better and they get better battery life and thinner and
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
sleeker and right you can pretty much stop right there you know it's you know
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
I don't think I wasted any words in my review but I think that a very short
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
overview can get across 85 percent of what most people would want to know
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
about these funds the iPhone 6 is bigger gets a little bit better battery life
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
the screen as nicely improved in terms of viewing angles in color and stuff
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
like that and the cameras and that's it you know and you can you can get it in
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
higher storage capacities and in the iPhone 6 plus it's way bigger if you
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
want I can new style device that's that's like a two-handed iPhone size
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
more like a mini tablet and you gonna get a couple more hours of battery life
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
predict because the battery is so there's there's a new class iPhone for
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
you and stop right there and I think that covers what it what it means for
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
eighty-five percent of people yeah I agree completely I think my only
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
reservation is that you're never sure we all we all live in bubbles of various
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
sizes and I i have Nexus 5 and I have a Lumia 10:20 and I have I've used Galaxy
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
Note and Galaxy magazine and things like that the big phone so I'm a little bit
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
familiar with them but I think a lot of people have only bought iPhones are only
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
familiar with the 3.5 and 4 inch size and to hear why Apple didn't continue
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
that likewise they went to the bigger screen I think the argument to be made
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
for the iPhone six-plus but even the iPhone 6 there's a really brief
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
statement about we're gonna give you more we're gonna give you a bigger
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
window window into the Internet
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
taps it would just be used a little bit of the stress that people had when you
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
know instead of saying oh my god they abandoned the four-engine be a while
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
this is so much more than I can do now with 4.7 yeah and I've been thinking
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
about that you know maybe even close to a year ever since it became so strongly
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
rumoured that they were going to go to two sizes four point seven and 5.5 and
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
not have a next generation model at the foreign side size I've been thinking for
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
a long time you know the whole time the whole year while I like four point zero
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
inches and 4.0 inches is the size of the most best-selling the best-selling most
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
profitable phone in the world because that's what the iPhone 5s what you know
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
an iPhone 5 see was like I don't know like thirdly the third best-selling and
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
most profitable smartphone in the world like 32 out of the top three selling
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
phones in a world where 4.0 inches last year and they've now they've just let
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
you know when I asked about this and one of the things I was told was well we
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
haven't left behind we still have those funds are just move down the line and
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
including the fact that you can buy a new 5s at 32 gigabytes not just at 16:49
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
dollars more
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
$249 on contract and that's not entirely new either because the five see when it
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
was a brand new device last year came in 16 and 32 gigabytes sizes too but I feel
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
like that's a little bit more of a just seems to me like a little bit more of a
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
hedge now
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
escape hatch if you're not quite ready to grow with Apple to the larger screen
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
sizes yet right so I don't know I wonder if they're gonna wait and look at what
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
people buy and what how things go for it what they're thinking like it wouldn't
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
totally III I would expect that next year we're just gonna get asked I don't
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
have to use an ass but equivalent I found success and iPhone success + and
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
the two new phones will be
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
these sizes I don't expect there to be you know them to go back to four points
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
early inches it sounds to me like they've said here's the at this point
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
with the technology where technology has evolved where prices have evolved on
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►
screens what's the best sweet spot to hit the most people with the least
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
amount of choice these are the two sizes they've decided on I think but I
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
wouldn't be shocked if they you know have a 4.0 you know call it the iPhone 6
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
many yeah you know and it's this rounded form factor but at a four inch size it
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
wouldn't shock me but i dont expected and I think it's interesting and you had
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
a good post before the event on what you thought the screen sizes would be and
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
and it reminded me of the first time I read it of when steve Jobs was talking
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
about the difference between the iPad and Android tablets when they were just
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
basically expanding the interface and he was saying that with the iPad and the
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
split view controller allowed a higher class of software and when I saw the 55
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
16 + turned sideways and you get that split view controller reminded me of the
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
same thing these bigger sizes the apples only doing it with the iPhone six-plus
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
but developers can do it with any size that they want now with the new adaptive
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
UI that it will allow for a higher class of software but that's sort of
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
necessitates a larger screen especially for anybody who doesn't have really good
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
really young eyes
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
yeah well I don't think there's no way that that split view would work on 4.0
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
and size they show it in one in that WWDC session in the demo at it but is
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
that that 16.9 aspect ratio that is wasteful in some interfaces on the
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
iPhone in landscape mode and the split screen too seems to fix that one problem
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
dad special with the keyboard because there's a minimum height to a usable
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
keyboard and on the 4.0 in size when you're when you're horizontal it's at
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
least half the screen whereas on into new phones it's not quite you know it
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
leaves a lot more room above it because they don't that the keyboard isn't the
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
same relative size it's more like the same
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
physical and it is that compromise that you spoke about earlier where it is
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
bigger to carry around but the iPhone six-plus specifically you turn around
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
and get that iPad style layout you are gaining productivity out of that
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
compromise yeah I'm looking at the six plus in my hands right now and with the
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
keyboard up in landscape mode horizontal mode too little bit more than a third
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
but it's way less than a half there's way more usable screen real estate above
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
the keyboard on this the iPhone 5 and five US Navy really claustrophobic with
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
the keyboard oh yeah I you know and that might be the main reason why I say I I
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
never use my iPhone landscape other than what things were you know like videos
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
watching videos or playing games
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
likewise the only thing I ever ever do in landscape is sometimes with a web
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
page that doesn't really even with double tap to zoom the text is too small
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
I'll turn it sideways and that's it i can't think of anything else they doing
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
landscape know and I'm exactly the same way which is why that that 16.9 a sticky
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
issue is so good for those few specific things but the other is much better for
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
the rest yeah and I think it shows for example investor like Vesper doesn't
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
support landscape as I think David Brent feel the same way and I think that's
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
come to bite us on the ass now because on these bigger phones it really feels
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
weird that an app doesn't support landscape and maybe it's just because it
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
is reviewing the phones over the past week I was doing it a lot just for the
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
sake of seeing what it's like
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
but it it no longer feels silly or some kind of concession to people with
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
particularly big thumbs or something like that it feels like its first class
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
part of the iPhone interface it will be hinted that I think you with regional
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
iPhone didn't even let a little most nothing go into landscape but I think so
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
far the video app almost nothing but now even the home screen does on the idea
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
that's a big hundred people yeah I like and that's kinda need to I like it and I
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
like the way that the doc is always on your right you have somebody who on the
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
is always always wanna stock on the right it feels very natural iPad moves
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
around with you but it feels very natural on your dog on your Mac Mac is
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
on the left hand side but he left this gonna get a new guest fix it now you're
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
off the off the show dog and now I i dont know I've always been a
[TS]
00:31:30
◼
►
right-handed person and i'm glad that's where they put it on now I have done one
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
of my max at the bottom and one of its on the left bottom is acceptable
[TS]

because it is so new and they've been big homes on the market before but

Apple's take on it I find really interesting I love the idea of the split
[TS]
00:38:58
◼

view controller in landscape mode and I like the idea of the longer battery
[TS]
00:39:02

because you know especially when we go to conferences or events I'm roaming
[TS]
00:39:05

Mattapan serena's examples were pretty good I thought it that you know it looks

point but there is no no doubt in my mind that I wanted to the regular iPhone
[TS]
00:39:45
◼

6 I think that's the safe at the station is the wrong word I think that that is
[TS]
00:39:48
◼

the right choice for most people I think it looks like a lot of people are going
[TS]
00:39:52
◼

for the six plus and I'm not sure whether that's because they really want

00:39:56

a fight
[TS]
00:39:56
◼

5.5 inch phone or because they just assume that they are they just feel like

every time a new phone they're going to get the most expensive one with what
[TS]
00:40:04
◼

they assume is the flagship I i dont it's one of those things you know and
[TS]
00:40:08
◼

Apple reveals more than most companies but there's no way that I expect them to
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
reveal the split between the six in the six plus because I think that's highly
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
competitive data but I would be fascinated to know it and I would also
[TS]
00:40:21
◼

be fascinated to know how it changes over time because I my hunch is that the
[TS]
00:40:27
◼

early adopter crowd who does things like pre-order one of these before they've
[TS]
00:40:33
◼

ever seen one in the Flash you know it which I would be doing if I had even if
[TS]
00:40:37

I hadn't had the review units already I would have been pre-ordering anyway but
[TS]
00:40:42

nerdy that they you know they do more work on the phone it's a little bit less

00:41:07

passive device and more of an active device introduced me two groups of
[TS]
00:41:12
◼

people on one is people can only have one device and this is a group has been
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
really popular in Southeast Asia and those are usually lower cost large
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
phones because they have to have a phone they just did the need it to communicate
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
what they want is bigger screen size as possible and then you have people in
[TS]
00:41:30
◼

North America who are they just want something that's a small town but that
[TS]
00:41:33
◼

they can carry around and according to people like ben Meherrin large-size
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
phones like the Galaxy Note size phones have never sold well in North America
[TS]
00:41:41
◼

previously it will be interesting to see if that's because there's no Apple phone
[TS]
00:41:44
◼

in that category of its really because that category only appeals to a niche
[TS]
00:41:48

market in the industry I didn't mention this in my review is in my notes and I
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
left it out because it seemed I was long enough and it's you know sometimes you
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
gotta start cutting stuff but i think is going to severely cannibalize sales of
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
the iPad Mini and I say this is somebody who has used the iPad Mini as as as my
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
personal my only personal iPad for ever since it came out two years ago I even
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
went with the many that first year when it was not retina and I'd already gotten
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
used to the retina display and you know which was a huge trade off but I like
[TS]
00:42:31
◼

that size for what I use an iPad for primarily which is okay I'm done working
[TS]
00:42:37
◼

for the day in my office here at home now I'm downstairs and I still wanna
[TS]
00:42:42

read some stuff you know I still wanted you know do some stuff but I'm just
[TS]
00:42:47
◼

sitting around the house on the couch armchair something like that I love the
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
mini for that I but I think though overall it is this devices too close to
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
the many and if you if you have it the mini just seems pointless I think that's
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
very true I think it'll take a while to happen because I think the iPhone
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
six-plus is gonna be supply constraints at least that much higher constraint
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
that already right now if you order today it's already earlier today but
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
yesterday I checked and it was Wednesday the 17th it was already quoting three to
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
four weeks and iPhones 6 was only quoting three or four days so I think
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
I'll take a while before there's widespread adoption and and people who
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
get it not all to me like it some of them might decide to go to the smaller
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
one but what I'm most curious about is whether it just simply cannibalize is
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
the iPad Mini and Opera said before they'd rather cowboys and stuff then
[TS]
00:43:44
◼
►
somebody else or if people who previously have an iPhone 5 45 s and an
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
iPad Mini
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
now moved to an iPhone 6 and iPhone iPad air or maybe in theoretically an iPad
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
pro 1 day ago from small small to big big instead of getting nothing but I
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
think it's really I think it's really gonna put a dent in the iPad Mini sales
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
and I think it might put a dent in iPad sales period at least among people who
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
choose the six plus that it to me it really is you know I forget exactly how
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
I put in my review but almost as much maybe not quite but almost as much as
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
40% more like an iPad nano hypothetical iPod Nano than it is an iPhone plus it's
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
really deter me feels like a new class of device
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
more than just a big iPhone really does and big part of that is the horizontal
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
stuff you know the two column layout but even in the Portrait Landscape vertical
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
landscape it just feels in hand it really to me feel like something you
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
have to use with two hands for the most part which to me is what makes it a
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
different class device than an iPhone it's almost the inverse of what happened
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
when the iPad Mini launch because people were used to having a two-handed iPhone
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
iPad experience in the iPhone iPad Mini was almost a hand and a half the people
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
are so used to using the one hand that iPhone iPhone + iPhone six-plus is two
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
and a half to two hit a device
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
the other thing that's curious though and I think would be like it's almost
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
like a no-brainer and you don't even you know all the time said Dave cannibalized
[TS]
00:45:30

on contract pricing which is not the true price they're they're true price is

starting at 299 right yeah it's one of those things off contract unlocked are
[TS]

always impressed me about Apple as a company is that they've never mistaken

got asked after my review here in people's heroes realize I had both

00:47:58
◼

phones and they can ask me questions didn't occur to me before at all cuz I
[TS]
00:48:01
◼

don't use it personally but I got asked by a couple of people on Twitter whether
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
the iPhone six-plus in particular or either of the new ones works with the
[TS]
00:48:12
◼

camera connection kit which is the little lightning thing you plug in and
[TS]
00:48:17
◼

then you can plug in sdcard into an iPad and import photos you take photos with a
[TS]
00:48:23
◼

regular camera stand-alone camera take the sdcard use the camera connection kit
[TS]
00:48:27
◼

and you instead of putting on a Mac you can put them on an iPad and it's always
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
been an iPad only peripheral
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
occurred to me to try it I did and it's exactly nothing has changed when as soon
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
as you plug the lightning adapter into the either the new iPhones it says this
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
this peripheral or or whatever it's called is not supported on this device
[TS]
00:48:48
◼

I wonder though if that's an oversight because it seems to me like I never
[TS]
00:48:54
◼

quite understood my camera connection kit didn't work with an iPhone it's
[TS]
00:48:58
◼

never been clear to me technically why that's the case you know if anything
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
iPhones now have just as much storage as iPads you know who knows maybe the
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
double the iPad's again but storage shouldn't be the limiting factor you
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
know should be up to you if you have a 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage what you
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
use it for ya I think that's absolutely true and I hope it isn't oversight
[TS]
00:49:20
◼

because especially now with a bigger screen phones it makes so much sense if

00:49:23
◼

you're traveling and you have an iPhone 6 plus special you're not going to want

00:49:27

00:49:30

something else like a DSLR I often take one with me especially when I go out of
[TS]
00:49:34
◼

town for this kind of photography I just don't use an iPhone 4 but the ability to
[TS]
00:49:38
◼

bring that all in the DSLR still dead that there's no there's no camera play
[TS]
00:49:42
◼

like there is car play so I need the iPhones do all the cool modern connected
[TS]
00:49:47
◼

stuff yeah you know hopefully it's an oversight because I do I think it's a
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
clear use coming at least two people on Twitter specifically you know and I take
[TS]
00:49:55
◼

it that they're either avid avid amateur and maybe even professional
[TS]
00:49:58
◼

photographers I didn't ask the details but that they you know go out in the
[TS]
00:50:02
◼
►
field with an iPad and use that as there in the field editing and storage device
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
and they would rather replace it with this you know for the obvious reason
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
that it's crazy small compared to an iPad integrated show off your portfolio
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
especially for photographers a lot of them like the iPad because it can carry
[TS]
00:50:21
◼

a lot of your graphics work with the photography worth two min the iPad 66
[TS]
00:50:25
◼

possibly great for that too
[TS]
00:50:27
◼

trying to think if there is anything else that I left out of my review that
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
could use here but I can't think of anything I did why I'm
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
mention the two and see what you think about them but the two big 12 big and
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
one maybe is not as big but the two negative things I had to say about the
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
apples decisions the first as the clearly the biggest is their decision to
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
keep the entry level on both phones at 16 gigabytes and so that the split
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
between 199 299 399 in 299 399 499 for the two phones is 1664 128 instead of
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
what to me looks more natural would be double the mall 32 64 128 and I i really
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
like I said in my in my review it almost seems punitive to only to ship one of
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
these with only 16 gigabytes I mean the original iPhone the most popular model
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
of it and back in 2007 had eight gigabytes so the only double it since
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
the original eight product generations ago is ridiculous and then I forgot
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
about this because I bought my iPhone on day one but Apple like six months after
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
the original this is the original iPhone the original one the one and only got 22
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
G networking they shipped a 16 gigabyte model of it like in January or something
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
like that
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
remember that the price cut they also increase the storage yeah so in other
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
words the low-end iPhone six-plus today has the same amount of storage as the
[TS]
00:52:03
◼
►
high end original iPhone back in 2007 that to me is it's just not hard drive
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
space on the low end of 2007 MacBook yeah it's really and a keep seeing
[TS]
00:52:15
◼

everybody today as they upgrade to iOS aid is running into these problems were
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
you need like it wants for four gigabytes free two or four and a half
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
gigabytes free to do the OS update well how about how are you going to do if
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
you've got a 16 gigabyte iPhone today how in the world are you gonna have for
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
gigabyte read next year when I was nine comes out and it's it's worse in some
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
ways because there is there still selling in eight gigabyte iPhone 5 CNA
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
they're sold out models in India and China and other BRIC countries before
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
and maybe they'll be fiiiine gigabyte iPhone 5s eventually who knows and that
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
last year you know there was no way I could recommend that phone to anybody
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
it's just it's almost unusable that point and now 16 feels like that I only
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
had eight gigabytes in with the size of iOS I honestly wonder how if you took
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
one and did a factory restore on and wiped all of your personal stuff off
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
every photo you have ever taken none of your own music do a factory restore is
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
there going to be enough room to install iOS nine over the air I I don't even
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
know if that's true I mean it's to me that's crazy
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
give in what has to be the relatively low price differential Apple would pay
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
to double those it's a good word for it as an analogy to airlines and how you
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
have economy class business class and first class and how many classes
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
deliberately made more miserable and effort you know maybe up so the premium
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
seating options at an extra 50 bucks whatever and that's the typical
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
marketing thing is how the entry level model that gets people in the door but
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
that entry level model maybe they they still believe that it was 32 gigs more
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
people would opt for that and then be fewer people moving to the medium here
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
they really want the medium here to be the normal one
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
I guess that's the only explanation honestly that I think that has to be it
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
so I'm not trying to act stupid like I don't see that angle but I honestly
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
think that's beneath apple and in long in the long run whatever whatever
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
increase in active active selling average selling price they're gonna get
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
because of this that way they've made these tears however much money they
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
gonna make on that to me is probably gonna be less than the damage it's doing
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
to their brand by selling brand new iPhone six and 6 plusses that honestly I
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
think cannot be recommended by I really I would honestly say that you anybody
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
out there looking for buying advice pretend like those ones don't exist and
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
that the starting price is 299 and 399 contract for the 64 gigabyte models
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
whereas I think 32 gigabytes would be fine if you think that you know knowing
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
how much space you use on your phone now you know knowing how much of your music
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
and video collection you like to carry around on that device you know I like to
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
put my whole music library on the device which already puts me close to 64 or at
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
least in that you know over 32 and then with 128 I I'll 10 lie you know for the
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
last couple of months I've every couple weeks I have to delete stuff from my
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
phone because I get a warning that I'm used up the whole 64 gigs because of
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
shooting high def video and panoramic photos and stuff so I I really want and
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
can use the 128 but I can see how somebody who doesn't store their music
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
could easily get by with 32 and have room to spare next year to upgrade dials
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
nine and stuff like that but sixteen to me is is it really a disappointment
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
there's I've heard an argument from some people in the BRIC countries that all
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
the phones are used for me in those countries because of the way that data
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
plans are set up his you'll get just a phone with a little bit of data and
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
maybe Facebook messenger or bbm or something and is primarily a text-based
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
communications device because voice plans are so expensive and I also wonder
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
if this if the carriers mandate where there's some sort of agreement with some
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
feeling that they have to have the brand new iPhone at 199 still because it'd be
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
interesting to see they did keep around the 32 gigabyte iPhone 5s if they let
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
that just be the the 199 device and the new iPhone started at 299 with 32 gigs I
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
refuse to believe that if they made entry level ones 32 that it would
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
adversely affect their margins and again I say this knowing like I said on the
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
show with multi couple of episodes back it's so easy to armchair quarterback
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
this and and tell Apple to make these decisions that you know you they really
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
ought to spend more money and go from 16 to 32 whereas if you multiply out a
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
hundred million pounds per year and the difference even if it's only a dollar
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
per phone you know hundreds of millions of dollars and I agree you know hundreds
[TS]
00:56:49
◼

of millions of dollars is nothing to sneeze at even before Apple but in this
[TS]
00:56:53
◼

particular case it's it's just too much given away they use it and you know
[TS]
00:56:57
◼

they're really promoting these features you know with an improved camera which i
[TS]
00:57:03
◼

think is a
[TS]
00:57:03
◼

selling point a huge reason to upgrade for regular people in these cameras the

00:57:09
◼

panoramic photos have gone to like 50 mega pixels or fifty megabytes or stored
[TS]
00:57:14

I i forget but there there there like twice the size of the old panoramic ones
[TS]
00:57:18

and you have the time lapse to you could take all those photos and combined into

00:57:22
◼

a video in these are gonna be huge to generate huge amounts of content and
[TS]
00:57:26
◼

also have to wonder if they did go to 32 gigabytes of any difference will be made
[TS]
00:57:29
◼

up because people might buy more iCloud storage where they might buy more apps
[TS]
00:57:33

liked about your view is that used both of them for a period of time and that

really sort of cemented how the iPhone six-plus wasn't for you
[TS]
01:08:04
◼

yeah you know I'm not good at doing you know why I work slowly and I think
[TS]
01:08:10

slowly and I really wish I wish that I had two weeks to do it so I could have
[TS]
01:08:15

done a full week with each one it just seemed to me like if I switched back and
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
forth everyday all day for a week I'd never get a good sense of either so i
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
thought id 23 with the plus first then three with the sex and then write my
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
review on the seventh day and it you know when I went when I switched from
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
the plus and I you know I did I would say 98% of my i phone usage was on the
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
device I was using one or two things that I used my personal iPhone 4 because
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
I didn't have it on the review unit I could get you were working for example
[TS]
01:08:57
◼

thing and it was a weird you know that
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
you know this that the location settings in Iowa State of change to be more
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
fine-grained yeah well existing apps that have been updated for iOS aid it
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
puts them that want to use your location it puts them in a weird spot where they
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
like uber wasn't asking me hey can I use location services I never even got
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
prompted it would just give me an error and it gave me the error when I was
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
signing in I would take my email address and password and hit OK and instead of
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
saying your password is good you're in or your password wasn't entered
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
correctly tried again after I hit sign in it would say your location can be
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
determined and I took me like days to figure this out and then I was I thought
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
oh it's not the phone its iOS age and went to settings location Hooper and its
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
neighbor was listed as one of the apps that wanted location but instead of
[TS]
01:09:57
◼
►
saying that it was set to don't allow or allow or allow only when I'm in the app
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
it was set to nothing was like nothing at all so if I tapped her and then just
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
sit here and let it use Mike occasional while I'm in the app then I went back to
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
burn it all work but in the meantime I had to order hoover's around San
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
Francisco had to use my real life so there's just one example of something
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
that I couldn't do everything other than that I used the review funds when I
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
switched after three days to the iPhone sex it was like wow this is a relief I
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
think it's almost an arguable that the iPhone 6 as a linear successor to the
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
iPhones that have come before the iPhone six-plus like you pointed out is really
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
something new and we know some people who had them for a while now and they
[TS]
01:10:42
◼
►
know that the comet assay was not a one-handed device kinda scared of
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
treating it with one hand it and I think it's really important that people think
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
of it as something else they might just get it thinking it's the next iPhone
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
yeah I do wonder like I wrote last year I do wonder whether there's going to be
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
some amount of buyers regret
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
where somebody goes in the store and it just looks so impressive because it does
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
I mean it is just a striking device physically and they're going to say wow
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
that looks so awesome I'm gonna get that one and then when they actually get it
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
they start running into problems like it's hard to get out of your pocket
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
while you're sitting down it's hard to put back in your pocket while you're
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
sitting down all night if you go into Best Buy and every television was
[TS]
01:11:27

[TS]
01:11:45
◼
►
I don't know I compared it to like the way that people tend to buy
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
oversaturated TVs in Best Buy because when you look at them side by side
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
you're not really imagine you know you're not looking at it in the right
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
context and the extra saturation is striking and you think it looks good and
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
you get home and it's a you realize it's just way off and everything is it
[TS]
01:12:06
◼

locked in a room right because even if I had to put it in some kind of case it

would have affected my ability to judge just how pocketable it is without a case

I just really like anything's right so that was a great great extra key

paragraph article yeah it made me laugh though knowing the rules what do you

design of the two phones at the camera nubbin for the boulders I'm calling I'm

not quite sure what they call it one thing a couple people on Twitter pointed
[TS]
01:19:05
◼

out and again because I don't use a case I guess it occurred to me but it didn't
[TS]
01:19:09

really popped my forefront is for anybody who does use their iPhone in a

case which I do believe to be a majority if not an overwhelming majority of
[TS]
01:19:19
◼

iPhone users just out and about in the real world it seems to me like certainly
[TS]
01:19:23
◼

many people don't but it seems like most people do use a case and if you do use a
[TS]
01:19:28
◼

case it's absolutely irrelevant because even the thinnest of cases is going to
[TS]
01:19:32
◼

be thinner than the thickness of the Bulge around the camera lens yeah

01:19:38

absolutely and even

accessories like although clip

they put it on ya it's you know I would never go so far as to argue that it's

01:19:51
◼

there for a future and not a you know designed tradeoff but it is it's sort of
[TS]
01:19:57
◼

like a silver lining in in the trade off the iPod Touch had this two years ago
[TS]
01:20:03
◼

three years ago whenever that launched its because cameras
[TS]
01:20:06
◼

talks with the five elements and cameras really need depth as wetlands is
[TS]
01:20:10
◼

sometimes it's in the phones they wanna make super thin and that creates a huge
[TS]
01:20:14
◼

tension with the phone dinner they had to make a worse camera that I gonna do
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
that they did they did a miracle of Engineering with the iPhone 5 to get
[TS]
01:20:21
◼

that eight megapixel camera in there and I don't think they could I am sure they
[TS]
01:20:27
◼

try to think they could get into afghanistan is the ease and like you
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
said that was a compromise I had to make yeah well it's not you know I presented
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
three options first would be use a camera that fits flush and has worse
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
optimist I think that was out of the question because I believe a camera of
[TS]
01:20:45
◼
►
that size not only would certainly would have had worse optics than the one they
[TS]
01:20:49
◼
►
did include but it might have even had worse optics probably would have had
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
worse optics than the five ass 5 seed and that's just unacceptable they can't
[TS]
01:20:58
◼

sell the high-end iPhone with a camera that worse than the one from a year or
[TS]
01:21:01
◼

two before I just you know
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
inconceivable there is no magic option to just magically make it happen and I
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
seen it on Twitter handful of people on Twitter who have steve Jobs was there he
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
would have browbeat them into making a camera that was that then enough and
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
didn't sacrifice image quality well I that's not how it worked
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
you know a great motivator and he often drove people to do more than they could
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
think they could I don't think he bend the laws of physics and you know they
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
still do they did they know they do things like used Sony sensors used
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
components they don't the camera isn't entirely their own creation have a Sony
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
Centre in there which already places are starting limit on how far away the lens
[TS]
01:21:47
◼
►
has to be 22
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
cover the whole center with an image so I'm gonna say that that was out I think
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
the choice came between doing what they did and having a boulder on the camera
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
lens or making the whole device as thick as needed beat us to sit flush with the
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
camera that they have and then there you know make the battery a little thicker
[TS]
01:22:11
◼
►
to to take advantage of that extra space where they couldnt thats the thing that
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
I've lot of people pushed back on my review about that they should have
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
because that would have been better there is it still would have been
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
thinner than the 50 S how is that not enough and then battery life for him
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
better on both phones you know that this is folly on Apple's part because it
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
would have been better for everybody because a little bit that much more
[TS]
01:22:37
◼
►
thickness wouldn't have mattered still would have been a phone and the battery
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
life but it's it's really interesting as a lot of people when Apple went to the
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
iPhone 5 and that was thinner than the iPhone for us that you just keep it the
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
same as before us and want more battery but everything really is a trade off and
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
I think Apple is more concerned as obsessed as they are with innocent they
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
made an entirely new back later to get it thinner I think that translates into
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
weight and I've gotta gotta Lumia 10:20 and that feels like a brick and the
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
Nexus fives about the same size and it feels even with the same size it feel so
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
much more because it's lighter and the iPhone six-plus felt smaller again then
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
a lot of those phones within the Galaxy know and I think I realized when they
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
went big one of their goals was to be light so that it didn't end up feeling
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
like a weaponized instrument in your hand
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
yeah it is I wrote my review its heavier the fuck the six is heavier than the 5s
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
but it doesn't feel have here because I think by you know by mass it's actually
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
lighter you know her purr purr volume it's it's lighter even overall it's it's
[TS]
01:23:44
◼
►
actually a little heavier and is that illusion thing again too because I had a
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
chance to see a bunch of people using them during the weekend
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
you look at it when you look at your iPhone 5 and it's that same feeling when
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
you look back on iphone4s now it looks like a standard little iPhone many at
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
once you see that because of the curves because of the way that is built it just
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
looks so much newer than the iPhone 5 and I think that whole thing combines
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
together to make the big size more acceptable I think it's reasonable that
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
perfectly reasonable to argue the side of the should have just made both owns a
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
little thicker to let the camera sit flush and put slightly bigger batteries
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
in perfectly reasonable I think it's not reasonable to argue that what Apple did
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
choose to do is also reasonable and that Apple simply prioritizes tennis and wait
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
a little bit more than other people do because I believe the iPod touch at
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
least it was certainly designed jobs are still around and Matt ship there was no
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
band that so i think you know that that's it's you know we're running out
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
of time to say no
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
actually Steve Jobs actually was there for that but that's the protruding
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
camera lens you can't say Steve Jobs never would have done it because he did
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
he was there when the iPod touch that has that was designed I don't think
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
people some people are said to the need to do they need to buy a case now
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
because otherwise if you put your phone flat on a table or something like that
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
the lens is gonna get scratched I don't think the lenses any more likely to get
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
scratched it was on the 5s because it's still a sapphire cover on the outside of
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
the land and if anything that the metal ring around it would be less likely to
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
have the you know the land actually touching the surface of the table they
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
are on I don't know it certainly doesn't make me want to put a case on it I'm not
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
worried I was about to ask you that because in the iPod Touch and holding it
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
right now the ring goes a little bit further the lands that does protect the
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
lens I didn't know that I think it does but it if you know it's very slight but
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
I do think that given that it would be sitting at a slight angle I think it
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
means that you know it's a perfectly flat table I don't think any part of the
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
lands would actually
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
would actually touch the table so I think if anything it's a little bit less
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
likely and some people are worried about it not being flush me put it down on his
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
back on a table but again the iPod Touch is one corner of the you can push out
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
that makes it does it wiggles a little bit on a perfectly flat table but it
[TS]
01:26:19
◼
►
doesn't bother me I mean in theory do I wish it were flush of course but you
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
know I same thing with the lines for the antenna lines you know people are asking
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
about you know i i didn't even mention manner of you what are their fine I
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
don't I don't think that they're bad I don't think they're good I mean you know
[TS]
01:26:36
◼
►
there's always some kind of concession to the antenna in every single I mean
[TS]
01:26:41
◼
►
the original iPhone had a big black plastic thing on the bottom of it you
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
know it's fine my wife actually thinks it looks good on the gold ones almost
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
like like the way that on like a handbag or like women's jacket or something like
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
that the pattern of the panel you know that sometimes at the seams of a piece
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
of clothing or something like that are meant you know they're stitched in the
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
different color you know that they look something like that so that's great yeah
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
one last thing before removing the funds I wanna
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
hopefully this will show up on the idea I've got three phones in front of me
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
right now the i-5 s the Sex and the six plus and I'm going to target the silent
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
switch on and off holding it up against the microphone so I start with the
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
iPhone 5s
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
right now here's the six did you hear that there was much harder to hear but I
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
heard it much harder to hear lower right so the six is a much quieter vibration
[TS]
01:27:58
◼
►
now here's the 66 + 6+1 one more its way loud it's really I'm just sitting here
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
and I'm actually a power down because I'm getting notifications and it's
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
allowed even sitting on my desk that I know that it they're showing up in the
[TS]
01:28:20
◼
►
idea for the show it's a really loud silence which almost problematically
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
show and even I double checked with Apple to make sure they get a unit with
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
you know that was abnormal in that regard they said no it is a little bit
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
louder it also way stronger it's like there's no way you can and that's a
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
concession to the idea that not as many people my pocket but they might put it
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
in a bag or purse or something
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
yeah I don't know maybe it's on purpose yeah maybe that is true I don't know but
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
I'm surprised more people haven't commented on it and the initial reviews
[TS]
01:28:49
◼
►
because it is a real difference especially compared to the regular six
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
which is even quieter than previous iPhones as interesting it's almost to
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
the point where it's like I don't even think you call it silent mode you'd call
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
it vibrate mode because it's it's not silent and I in a room I almost wonder
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
like in a room with you know there is like a meeting and people put their
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
phones in front of them you know it's it's going to blow most problematic that
[TS]

[TS]
01:33:40
◼

talk about IIC skip the rest of them to cover that on future shows seriously we
[TS]
01:33:45
◼
►
just don't have time before you said I guess we could talk about Apple pay and
[TS]
01:33:51
◼

I'm wondering what what you think about that it's really interesting because I
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
have NFC everywhere around me series takes at McDonalds takes hit the gas
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
stations take it it's just everywhere so I have both my credit cards have little
[TS]
01:34:04
◼
►
NFC sticker on them
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
printing on them and you'll go up in you tap the gas pump you tap the cash
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
register and it just works and it's it's great and the idea of having that on my
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
iPhone so I don't my only concern with it if I ever drop my car deals
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
get up and go to our tap in for gas or tapping for food it'll take a while
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
before I realize it so having on my phone is hugely appealing that don't
[TS]
01:34:28
◼
►
have to carry those credit cards with me I don't have to worry about dropping
[TS]
01:34:31
◼
►
them and because they're doing it in such a secure way whether encrypting
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
everything they're they're putting it on the secure element and they're doing
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
this one-time credit card number it's it's even better than the convenience
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
that I would have with NFC some really excited
[TS]
01:34:46
◼
►
yeah I think it's one of those cases where what Apple said is exactly the
[TS]
01:34:50
◼
►
truth and there's no reason to be cynical about it but Tim Cook's
[TS]
01:34:53
◼
►
explanation that look everybody's tried to do this before they've all fallen
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
short in the reason a phone short is it they've come up with schemes that are
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
built around their own self-interest in other words I think because they want to
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
make a lot of money on it and a play rather than approaching it as let's look
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
at it from the perspective of the customer and just make their experience
[TS]
01:35:12
◼
►
better and let the trial outcome after that they're gonna make money on this
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
there's no doubt that Abdul know this isn't saying that Apple's doing it for
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
free and you know all the monies passing game but they're not making a lot per
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
transaction they're taking tiny little sliver of the transactions and they're
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
not asking retailers to install an apple backend system they're not asking
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
retailers to install Apple's proprietary iPhone only thing at the register it's
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
an industry standard it's already in hundreds of thousands of locations
[TS]
01:35:44
◼
►
they're just making it work easier than anybody else has and it's really just i
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
I think primarily just about making it another way that it's nicer to own an
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
iPhone than it is to own any other phone that's the main advantage to Apple it's
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
not about the fraction of a penny per transaction that they're gonna make
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
although I'm do you know they'll keep that money I think it's primarily a way
[TS]
01:36:08
◼
►
to just you know it you know why they sweat over the details of putting in a
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
higher 400 pixel per inch display on the iPhone sex cuz it's nicer for customers
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
you know i think thats what apple pays all about
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
and I therefore think and I meanness I don't think you know I think there's
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
some people are gonna roll their eyes but I think it's it's win win win it's
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
good for Apple because they will make some money on this and it will make
[TS]
01:36:36
◼
►
iPhones a little bit stickier as something that people are once they have
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
it they're gonna wanna keep buying them I think it's good for customers because
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
I think it's an amazing experience and we got to play with it like they did
[TS]
01:36:48
◼
►
have that I clay red you know play register setup at at the hands-on area
[TS]
01:36:54
◼
►
if anything they're demo video in the in the keynote undersold how easy it is
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
it's really really convenient and then it's good for the retailers Apple isn't
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
charging them like some kind of crazy 7030 split they're not asking for an
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
exam in an amount of money they did get preferential treatment in terms of
[TS]
01:37:13
◼
►
getting the rate that was therefore when the card present rate as opposed to the
[TS]
01:37:17
◼
►
card not present right but I think that's fair and reasonable that they're
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
saying hey touch I D combined with the security measures we've taken is the
[TS]
01:37:26
◼
►
equivalent of card present its you know just a little bit more likely that this
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
is not a fraudulent transaction you know that they're not getting charged the
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
rape that get charged when you just read your credit card number to somebody over
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
the phone which is where you don't get card present cuz they don't see that you
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
have the card that PC ready for WBC called only Apple because if you think
[TS]
01:37:48
◼
►
back to when Google tried to do this it's gonna try to do TV is that they
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
didn't get by and they couldn't get things past carrier some carriers
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
blocked some carriers want to use their own because they have their own
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
called I suffered what they renamed at their own solution for these things and
[TS]
01:38:02
◼
►
they just they just couldn't get it deployed in Apple because they make
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
everything from the chip to the secure enclaves in the secure element all the
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►
way up the OS and to the hardware it's better than having the credit card
[TS]
01:38:17
◼
►
present because I can just drop my NFC card and someone else can pick it up and
[TS]
01:38:20
◼
►
go tap things there's no password is nothing required this needs my passcode
[TS]
01:38:24
◼
►
or my fingerprint and that I think makes it I heard a rumor that it was after
[TS]
01:38:29
◼
►
target and a half after a lot of the credit card breaches that the industry
[TS]
01:38:33
◼
►
started listening that they weren't as receptive
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
before and i think is really telling that they had lunch partners a demo the
[TS]
01:38:39
◼
►
target app in the Apple Store app and it's not just the thing that you can use
[TS]
01:38:43
◼
►
in registers they because again only Apple they have the apps they made a
[TS]
01:38:47
◼
►
solution that works on the phone in physical real-world stores that works on
[TS]
01:38:51
◼
►
line with apps and that works based on a physical skin connection with the watch
[TS]
01:38:56
◼
►
and that that isn't very robust solution
[TS]
01:38:59
◼
►
yeah it's very very true and you know I guess said win-win-win the retailers are
[TS]
01:39:06
◼
►
happy to use it the banks are happy to use it cuz there so they seem so
[TS]
01:39:10
◼
►
confident that you know what Apple's come up with is going to increase
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
security and fraud is such a huge time and costs and PR sink for the banks and
[TS]
01:39:22
◼
►
for retailers right i mean you know the target CEO lost his job over the tobacco
[TS]
01:39:29
◼
►
that that happened to them last year it's a real problem this seems like you
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
know if it works as advertised is a completely credible solution and it was
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
so it really is it better for every party involved nobody's paying any sort
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
of there's no tradeoff for anybody as opposed to something like let's just
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
compare it to the seventy thirty split for on-device content that sold on the
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
phone and I think that's you know there's a you know years long argument
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
that hey that's too much you know that you know Barnes and Noble shouldn't have
[TS]
01:40:04
◼
►
to spend you know or can't afford 30% margins because they're paying you know
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
they're paying the same agency model for books that anybody else's you know
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
should Amazon let can dole you know use in-app purchases know why don't day you
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
know there's all sorts of arguments to be made there where where the seventy
[TS]
01:40:24
◼
►
thirty split depending on your perspective may not be in the interest
[TS]
01:40:27
◼
►
of whoever selling the goods
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
there's no there's no downside like that without will pay its really is better
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
for everybody and there was some confusion because some people thought
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
that the seventy thirty split wood would be a free sample as amazon.com amazon
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
used it not the one for the candles or before the actual buying goods but the
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
seventy thirty was never for physical goods it was always for the digital
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
distribution within apps so their fire anyone target everyone can adopt this
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
and all they're doing is the AppleCare till last segment and and keep it short
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
because I don't want to just regurgitate your excellent excellent Iowa State
[TS]
01:41:01
◼
►
review which anybody who's listening to the show if you haven't put in the show
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
knows but go read it it is long is twenty thousand words it is booklet but
[TS]
01:41:10
◼
►
it is worth it and its to meet definitive what are the the things the
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
little things in Iowa City you think people are most likely to overlook like
[TS]
01:41:22
◼
►
what do you know a couple of things that people who listen to the show maybe
[TS]
01:41:25
◼
►
think that they're tuned in to what's new in Iowa State they've seen the
[TS]
01:41:29
◼
►
keynote at the BBC but that I go I didn't know about that I think there's
[TS]
01:41:35
◼
►
21 is really big and and some are really small the really big thing is because
[TS]
01:41:39
◼
►
there's names like extensibility and there's all sorts of different things
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
like widgets and action custom actions custom keyboard custom sharing items but
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
when you come down to it the the huge transformation from me with between iOS
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
7 and Iowa State is that entirely reverse before everything was pull if
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
you wanted to do something you had to leave what you were doing go to another
[TS]
01:41:59
◼
►
app for example just sending a voice memo you want to leave messages go to
[TS]
01:42:02
◼
►
the voice memo app create a voice memo bring up the embedded message deed and
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
then use that to send it through messages then go back to messages
[TS]
01:42:10
◼
►
continue your conversation and it's like it was like that for so many things if
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
you wanted to share a URL in an anon integrated applicable plus you have to
[TS]
01:42:19
◼
►
go with the web copy the oil one password yet to launch one Password copy
[TS]
01:42:23
◼
►
the password timeout and now everything is the model is so much more towards
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
push data we're from interactive notifications you can keep playing your
[TS]
01:42:31
◼
►
game keep watching your movie quickly answer i message you pull down
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
notification center the widgets right there
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
the Android model was always told century to me because you had to leave
[TS]
01:42:41
◼
►
go to the home screen patient home screen find a way to get it really
[TS]
01:42:44
◼
►
didn't save you that much time being a notification centers whose you so much
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
time storehouse now if you don't have to go to store house and then
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
you open up the image picture and choose images you can be in photos you can use
[TS]
01:42:56
◼
►
filters in there you can do think that sharing options so many aspects of iOS
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
now bring the stuff to you where you are and that is such a fundamental change to
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
how I'm using my iPhone and I think federico did a great job explaining that
[TS]
01:43:10
◼
►
to that it's called revolution I think that's over overused but just a change
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►
in work clothes made it less of a choice made it much more much much media device
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
work for me much more than it ever has before
[TS]
01:43:24
◼
►
yeah it almost like the way that to me that they broke down the UNIX you know
[TS]
01:43:35
◼
►
we're talking forty year old UNIX multitasking model to a lower level with
[TS]
01:43:43
◼
►
the original iPhone in 2007 which was you know hand far and wide by people for
[TS]
01:43:52
◼
►
not supporting multitasking which was held up by the ignorant as sort of you
[TS]
01:43:59
◼
►
know like it's sort of a baby OS that can't do multitasking whereas anybody
[TS]
01:44:05
◼
►
with any sort of clue would realize what they started with Mac OS 10 which is
[TS]
01:44:10
◼
►
UNIX they took multitasking out right this isn't like Mac OS was back in the
[TS]
01:44:17
◼
►
nineties or Palm OS or something like that where there was a non multitasking
[TS]
01:44:21
◼
►
operating system that grew to a point where they had had a regional demo is
[TS]
01:44:27
◼
►
Steve Jobs when he showed play music the phone rang the music faded away he
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
answered the phone he went into the web you went to email he went that blue
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
peoples minds who knew multitasking time right in there were things that did
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
multi task but there are a lot of others that didn't and that it you know you hit
[TS]
01:44:42
◼
►
the home button and the Apple exit and you know when you realize that it would
[TS]
01:44:47
◼
►
start all over again
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
it was all based on the constraints that incredible constraints of the device
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
with limited ramen and limited you know CPU that eighty five times less powerful
[TS]
01:44:58
◼
►
than the one we have sex but it was also you know not just those technical
[TS]
01:45:04
◼
►
constraints but I think it was a reimagining of the user experience of a
[TS]
01:45:07
◼
►
personal computer that could you'd want to do things like respond to a text
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
message while you're watching a video and that they've built it back up with
[TS]
01:45:18
◼
►
XP see in a way that really makes a ton of sense and you don't even have to
[TS]
01:45:26
◼
►
think about it too much from a user's perspective right it's just there's
[TS]
01:45:30
◼
►
there's a notification from Renee's asking what time the show's gonna start
[TS]
01:45:34
◼
►
tonight and I'm watching Yankees game you just put down a little bit respond
[TS]
01:45:37
◼
►
right there and I didn't have to interrupt the video stream but at the
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
same time
[TS]
01:45:43
◼
►
solve so many problems from a typical users perspective of what can happen
[TS]
01:45:50
◼
►
with the traditional multitasking where everything just gets to run and runs
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
forever of Unix where you know your whole thing can get slowed down because
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
everything's running in the background
[TS]
01:46:03
◼
►
unchecked and not even a mention the security and privacy issues it's
[TS]
01:46:10
◼
►
incredibly or do the same thing you're on a website you want to quickly check
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
the score you can just pull down notification center and the score is in
[TS]
01:46:15
◼
►
there and you just put it back up you go right back to where you're doing which
[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
is a change the multitasking was great you could happen occasionally go right
[TS]
01:46:22
◼
►
to the app but then to get back to where you worry about to leave that app double
[TS]
01:46:26
◼
►
tap if you remember to do that go back to the fast a picker take the app you
[TS]
01:46:29
◼
►
had or another app it was just it was not ideal and the other advantage to
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
like the security the privacy that's enormous because if you're answering a
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
message in the Facebook app Facebook has no idea what you're typing in that is
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
completely separate but if for example if you have a facebook notification
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
another app and Facebook is being a memory hog and jetsam get rid of it that
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
notification is completely independent you'll still be typing your message or
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
answer notification you'll never even notice what's happening with the
[TS]
01:46:56
◼
►
container up in the background
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
that's a huge reliability Boone yeah the real maybe the best layman's terms way
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
to think about extensions and these things is that they really are like many
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
apps that run in their own little mini sandbox and it takes an explicit user
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
action to punch through that which is a great way of doing it
[TS]
01:47:16
◼
►
Yeah Yeah what about anything else that's sort of like easily overlooked
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
wow I can't believe that sort of you know I can I didn't know about that
[TS]
01:47:26
◼
►
there's a lot of really nice things for example of here in Safari new iCloud
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
tabs you can you can get you can close iCloud tabs on other devices from the
[TS]
01:47:35
◼
►
device that you're using which is I did not know that that's why i doing the
[TS]
01:47:40
◼
►
show it's that is a feature I've wanted ever since they invented by club owner
[TS]
01:47:44
◼
►
so many things are feeling it I also love that you can go to the settings and
[TS]
01:47:47
◼
►
go to the settings for any app and you go into them and there is a test for
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
notifications there in a tab for privacy there maybe I don't I don't know how to
[TS]
01:47:55
◼
►
find that and they made it easy for developers to get to that but i just go
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
there and I can see what this has permission for an internal monitoring
[TS]
01:48:01
◼
►
them off
[TS]
01:48:02
◼
►
explained to me confused about explained to me
[TS]
01:48:07
◼
►
user versus remote notifications which has a new distinction that didn't exist
[TS]
01:48:11
◼
►
