00:07:38 ◼   ► a challenge to make and I just made that up but I bet the hardware takes more [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► effort than this sorry that software takes more effort than the hardware but [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► well its credit is the hard work and you can even argue that because it didn't [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► out with their product roadmaps [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► you know across the board that they're just happened to be a stretch where [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► there wasn't anything new and obviously if they were concerned about that [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► stretch what they could have done [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► on easily was keep keep the iPad 4 until september or me in February or whatever [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► and have a rather disappointing introduction and that you know rather [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► thought is we're gonna move as fast as we can and if that means that moving as [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► fast as we can we end up with gaps in our product introductions schedule [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► because we've introduced everything as soon as we feel like we really can so be [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► it better than holding stuff back just to fill out a regular schedule this but [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► others tradeoffs either way but I think I would not disagree and again what we [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► don't know is what they had in mind to perhaps announced earlier this year or [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► even right now but didn't and that could be any range of things from this TV that [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► people have been expecting for a long time and now seems to either just not [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► exist or be very far in the future to know the wearable stuff maybe they maybe [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► they were working on it and and said now is not ready we need more and more [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► people we need more ideas here and maybe there's something on the component side [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► that they need better or more over something like that so what we don't [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► know is the unknown unknowns I guess but I I just find it hard and you will see [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► like if if it's two years from now and we're doing this again and they're still [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► just showing off kind of minor upgrades to existing product lines then maybe [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► there is something to question but for now I would say that it's still a little [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► early on that [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► yeah I agree with that and as for the repetition [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► my trying to make it hard for me to articulate but even given that you're [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► long gap in an event if you look at the broader sense longer-term you know just [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► ten years or even just you know three years and kind of go through the post [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► Steve Jobs era although I think that the events you know [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► there's a continuity from when steve Jobs was ringed leading these events [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► there no they don't feel altogether different it's not in his presence is [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► obviously missed maybe even know he was clearly the best presenter that they had [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► he has a magnetism and onstage magnetism that you know it it's once in a lifetime [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► occurrence but it still they still feel like the same event and the thing that [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► Apple has that none of its competitors do is in the long term they they have [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► these events with a regularity that allows them to be repetitious I just [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► made up a word is repetitious where I think it is it's a great word is should [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► be lowered yeah no i agree and and you know it could go both ways with you [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► could you could market for being the same thing over and over or you could [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► upload it for the poor actually having substance that they can fill into those [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► blanks [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► you know within and not have to worry about brainstorming some crazy new [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► format just for the sake of doing it so and then some things have changed the [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► they seem to have pulled back on the we brought a bunch of developers to Apple [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► HQ for two weeks and let them loose on the new SDK here's a bunch absent they [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► made like we haven't seen that in awhile [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► fans are a lot like their products they evolve slowly [TS]

00:11:55 ◼   ► part of that i think is because probably they haven't had any crazy new features [TS]

00:12:01 ◼   ► that they would want to show off with six different apps or something like [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► that [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► whereas in the past they did because everything was so new maybe we'll see [TS]

00:12:09 ◼   ► you know with with this wearable thing if it happens next year that they did [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► have another boot camp where they had 20 developers spend a month in living in [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► tents in Cupertino and here's what they came up with so think about a private I [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► always think of the like a pro [TS]

00:12:27 ◼   ► MacBook and let's go I'm talking long-term so let's even consider the [TS]

00:12:31 ◼   ► PowerBook [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► I'm not gonna say it's unchanged but there is a very clear lineage right from [TS]

00:12:40 ◼   ► today's brand new 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pros the ones that were just announced [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► you know four days ago as a record all the way back to the original titanium [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► PowerBook g4 which I forget what year it came out but I'm thinking it was like [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► two thousand or so right that it was titanium and aluminum but it was colored [TS]

00:13:04 ◼   ► the same and you know there are some problems with using titanium and they [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► didn't take too many years before they switched to aluminum and really ever [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► since then I mean again there's huge differences in performance in thickness [TS]

00:13:19 ◼   ► and weight and stuff like that but each single step of the way the Pro PowerBook [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► smack books have really kind of evolved very slowly [TS]

00:13:28 ◼   ► you know and and there's never really been erratic and who knows maybe some [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► year one of these years they gonna bail Pro MacBook that's as much of it changes [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► the brand new MacBook Pro air Mac Pro is right but they haven't done that yet and [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► I think mainly because they haven't seen the need to see people complaining about [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► that and I think the events are sort of the same way I agree and it was 2001 [TS]

00:13:52 ◼   ► you're right I think a lot of that is and if you see it's that everyone is [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► copying that Outlook 244 all the products so you know that's why I expect [TS]

00:14:06 ◼   ► that to be the case for the iPhone and iPad 2 I don't expect in even maybe in [TS]

00:14:13 ◼   ► ten years that the iPhone looks drastically different than it does today [TS]

00:14:17 ◼   ► or the iPad I'm sure they'll be thinner and Abby know what you think it is [TS]

00:14:23 ◼   ► curved I haven't I've never used them but that doesn't seem like that's a [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► direction to pursue but I don't know now and Samsung who came out with one even [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► then said that it was an experimental and they're only releasing it [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► and one market I don't like South Korea or something but that it was some kind [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► of experiment was candy but it was like a statement to the verge or something [TS]

00:14:47 ◼   ► where they really just wanted to put it in the consumer hands and see if these [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► curved screens in a holdup in real-world use which is a very strange things like [TS]

00:14:57 ◼   ► I guess they're trying to say they gonna crack when you put them in your pocket [TS]

00:14:59 ◼   ► or something like that because their curved and just seems like that that [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► seems like a question you should have answered before it came to market but I [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► think it kind of speaks to him sons development one of the Google Nexus [TS]

00:15:11 ◼   ► phones curve though as well yeah I thought so too I wasn't sure everybody [TS]

00:15:16 ◼   ► is making a big deal out there that I although maybe it was curved the other [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► way instead of the B side to side it was the other way but it either way I never [TS]

00:15:24 ◼   ► really saw the point of it yeah I do like your analogy so I need to talk [TS]

00:15:30 ◼   ► about the different iPad models that we have available to us night I do like [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► your analogy to whether you you know whether you're carrying it with a map [TS]

00:15:42 ◼   ► book or just using it as your main computer or maimed policeman portable [TS]

00:15:47 ◼   ► computer me exactly I think it's interesting now that they do have kind [TS]

00:15:52 ◼   ► of chip parity and and power parity that we will start to see which size people [TS]

00:15:58 ◼   ► gravitate toward whether it is the smaller one with the bigger one [TS]

00:16:03 ◼   ► yeah I think so too and I think you know and and it's one of those things where [TS]

00:16:07 ◼   ► Apple is I had I'd be surprised if they did but I don't think they're ever gonna [TS]

00:16:12 ◼   ► break down publicly how those sales are falling and you know they say as they [TS]

00:16:18 ◼   ► have how many iPads total they've sold the quarter and I will give you I guess [TS]

00:16:24 ◼   ► they give us still average selling price for that there's a way to work backwards [TS]

00:16:27 ◼   ► to it and then you can kind of make guesses from there but it's you know a [TS]

00:16:33 ◼   ► lot of guessing from the outside as to who's buying what you kind of just have [TS]

00:16:36 ◼   ► to eyeball it I think when you're out in public and see what which iPad you see [TS]

00:16:40 ◼   ► people using I wonder if there is a way for one of those app SDK analytics [TS]

00:16:48 ◼   ► packages like flurry to tell the [TS]

00:16:50 ◼   ► screen size I think that there is almost I'm almost certain that there is that [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► there's like an API that you can tell what the physical size of the screen is [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► you wouldn't be able to use resolution by its indeed no law I don't think I [TS]

00:17:05 ◼   ► mean again we haven't done it yet nobody's gonna tear down on these are [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► run you know one of those system utilities that reports the exact CPU [TS]

00:17:14 ◼   ► speed it said truman who knows what some people you know these things come out in [TS]

00:17:18 ◼   ► public and people can run those things who knows maybe the iPad areas slightly [TS]

00:17:22 ◼   ► faster than the iPad Mini but it seems like since they're saying a seven I [TS]

00:17:27 ◼   ► think it I think it's the same a seven in both devices and so I you wouldn't be [TS]

00:17:32 ◼   ► able to use that either I did a little math and I found that the density of the [TS]

00:17:37 ◼   ► iPad air is less than the iPad Mini which makes sense because the air [TS]

00:17:44 ◼   ► fitting a sent you know the the main difference seems to be just the size of [TS]

00:17:47 ◼   ► the screen so it's probably a little more empty air in the in the air I'm [TS]

00:17:54 ◼   ► gonna stick mini I think I i I want to go to an Apple store in and try them [TS]

00:17:58 ◼   ► both but for me the mini 44 where I use it makes the most sense still which is [TS]

00:18:19 ◼   ► out and just see just how one thing that I don't think I've seen a lot of people [TS]

00:18:25 ◼   ► talking about is it still attracts me to the many of the most with is the pixel [TS]

00:18:30 ◼   ► density [TS]

00:18:32 ◼   ► because they both have the same resolution you know we still have the [TS]

00:18:37 ◼   ► effectively the iPhone pixel density on the iPad Mini which to close up and I do [TS]

00:18:44 ◼   ► use a closeup will look better than the iPad pixel density yes let's put that up [TS]

00:18:51 ◼   ► there I'm gonna hold off on that cause I never been let's do the sponsor break [TS]

00:18:54 ◼   ► and then we'll come back and [TS]

00:24:25 ◼   ► know lightning adapter and slightly better performance but let's say the [TS]

00:24:29 ◼   ► iPad 3 and four was same device versus the original iPad Mini the big guy iPad [TS]

00:24:38 ◼   ► had obviously had a Retina screen was way heavier one point four pounds who is [TS]

00:25:05 ◼   ► anything performance-related and RAM is obviously it's more than just a [TS]

00:25:09 ◼   ► convenience its performance the iPad Mini obviously the mini it was way small [TS]

00:25:15 ◼   ► way lighter and heads and it was less expensive but had serious tradeoffs it [TS]

00:25:21 ◼   ► did not have a Retina screen and once you go read it was really kind of rough [TS]

00:25:25 ◼   ► to go back especially given that the whole point of using an iPad when you [TS]

00:25:30 ◼   ► already own an iPhone is mainly because it's better to read on a bigger display [TS]

00:25:35 ◼   ► right i mean you're with me I mean I mostly use my iPad for reading and [TS]

00:25:39 ◼   ► reading i think is the one place where the Retina screen makes the biggest [TS]

00:25:43 ◼   ► difference way bigger than games bigger even than video because anything where [TS]

00:25:48 ◼   ► it's moving you don't see the details as much as when its static text and you [TS]

00:25:53 ◼   ► just get that crisp resolutions give up retina it was nationally on something so [TS]

00:26:07 ◼   ► this is a great device I love the way it feels I wish it had a Retina display and [TS]

00:26:13 ◼   ► performance was behind to it was in a five so was the year before his [TS]

00:26:17 ◼   ► system-on-a-chip had less RAM and less RAM manifests itself in numerous ways [TS]

00:26:22 ◼   ► but if you're someone like me I mean I do a lot of email lot of Twitter out of [TS]

00:26:45 ◼   ► Safari the tabs have to reload and that's something you know that gets [TS]

00:26:49 ◼   ► alleviated as you add more RAM and you hit that on the iPad Mini more than a [TS]

00:26:53 ◼   ► hit when I had an iPad 3 and I would say a year later that's what I noticed the [TS]

00:26:58 ◼   ► most of anything yet [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► definitely feel slow especially relative to my iPhone 5 but Graham I see it [TS]

00:27:06 ◼   ► especially with more complicated apps these days I C AB starting from a fresh [TS]

00:27:10 ◼   ► state almost every time I launch them yeah yeah me too so that you know a lot [TS]

00:27:17 ◼   ► of tradeoffs that made it kind of obvious I what do you what do you value [TS]

00:27:20 ◼   ► infirm even with those trade-offs the mini was was the obvious choice because [TS]

00:27:27 ◼   ► I carry when I travel I carry a MacBook Air [TS]

00:27:35 ◼   ► already got like two point five pound device in the bag and so carrying the [TS]

00:27:41 ◼   ► point six eight-pound many as my secondary thing in the bag as opposed to [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► the one point four pound iPad for was a big difference and at home not just want [TS]

00:27:56 ◼   ► to travel but at home when I'm using my iPad at the end of the day and I'm on [TS]

00:28:00 ◼   ► the couch and i'm reading and it was even with the redness on the screen just [TS]

00:28:06 ◼   ► more comfortable to sit there and hold it in my hand being lightweight and [TS]

00:28:10 ◼   ► easily held in 14 me that test is if it falls on my face because I fall asleep [TS]

00:28:17 ◼   ► will how much will it hurt my nose and the retina when I got that first retina [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► iPad 3 that thing I was scared I'd literally thought I broke my nose once [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► and the many on the other hand is just a little bounce off the floor and it [TS]

00:28:34 ◼   ► doesn't matter but you know it's a big test for me I think that the big iPad 34 [TS]

00:28:41 ◼   ► I think it got point point two pounds heavier than the iPad 2 I could be wrong [TS]

00:28:46 ◼   ► but it's i think im close which doesn't sound like a lot but felt like a lot [TS]

00:28:51 ◼   ► somehow somehow felt like it crashed crossed a threshold and I can see [TS]

00:28:55 ◼   ► exactly what you mean we're like it somehow crossed the following your face [TS]

00:28:59 ◼   ► and is it gonna hurt threshold I never had that too I had the one we still have [TS]

00:29:04 ◼   ► it but we have it in a holder and it's kind of on a swing arm so it's mounted [TS]

00:29:08 ◼   ► and it's never able to be a face crusher but that no one that was at the is dense [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► and had that sharp edge couldn't deal with that so the way that both of those [TS]

00:29:21 ◼   ► iPad evolve during the year both took them both in the direction that [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► addressed each of their tradeoffs and made them makes this is what makes the [TS]

00:29:32 ◼   ► decision so much more complicated so the big trade off with the full-size iPad [TS]

00:29:36 ◼   ► was heaviness and thickness and it's you know radically thinner and smaller than [TS]

00:29:44 ◼   ► the width decrease of decreasing the bubble I don't know how big a deal that [TS]

00:29:50 ◼   ► is it seems nice at least in the hands-on area last week at Apple it did [TS]

00:29:54 ◼   ► seem easy you know seem nicer but the weight differences just dramatic [TS]

00:29:58 ◼   ► is just amazing I was there with hands-on room with MGC learned he had [TS]

00:30:04 ◼   ► his iPad 4 with him and took it out of his bag and we could just do a [TS]

00:30:09 ◼   ► side-by-side and it was it really just felt it didn't feel like point four [TS]

00:30:14 ◼   ► pounds I felt like half I felt like it was like half the weight felt like we [TS]

00:30:17 ◼   ► could put two of those new iPad together and be the same weight as last year's a [TS]

00:30:21 ◼   ► huge difference way more comfortable to hold in your hands and therefore a lot [TS]

00:30:28 ◼   ► of the reason that you know that's a lot of the reason I preferred the mini the [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► mini [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► addresses all of the weaknesses added doesn't have has a Retina Display now [TS]

00:30:39 ◼   ► should say and it has the same performance it's just as fast it seems [TS]

00:30:44 ◼   ► to have as much RAM but it's a little bit more expensive at the same storage [TS]

00:30:50 ◼   ► point so you lose some of that price advantage of choosing a mini over an [TS]

00:30:55 ◼   ► iPad so it's a it's a lot tougher it's no longer I lost it a while [TS]

00:31:03 ◼   ► cheap you know anything about the one I wanted to 630 boxer ever get around it [TS]

00:31:11 ◼   ► even got a little heavier nowhere near nowhere near the difference that when [TS]

00:31:16 ◼   ► the iPad 2 went to the three and they had to make it a lot heavier to power [TS]

00:31:20 ◼   ► the Retina screen its negligibly heavier I think in grams it went from like 3083 [TS]

00:31:28 ◼   ► 31 so I don't know 67 or 8 percent heavier and you know a lot of people ask [TS]

00:31:34 ◼   ► me on Twitter when I was there that day you know what questions you have a lot [TS]

00:31:38 ◼   ► of people said hey does this small weight increase in the mini feel make it [TS]

00:31:43 ◼   ► feel different I didn't have one to do side-by-side with the old one but it [TS]

00:31:47 ◼   ► it's just from my recollection as a as a daily iPad Mini user it felt the same or [TS]

00:31:52 ◼   ► less I don't think that I think it's like less than 10% so but bottom line [TS]

00:32:00 ◼   ► for someone like me who when they travel is already gonna take up still gonna [TS]

00:32:05 ◼   ► take a Macbook and so you've already got like a 230 pound device in the bag you [TS]

00:32:12 ◼   ► just had to stop you know I don't want to weigh it down with something bigger [TS]

00:32:15 ◼   ► but now you're still talking about a point seven pound many one point zero [TS]

00:32:21 ◼   ► power and [TS]

00:32:22 ◼   ► iPad air you really only talking about three tenths of a pound extra so it's [TS]

00:32:30 ◼   ► not you know somebody who decides to carry their hair in addition to a [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► MacBook isn't really taking on that much more weight as opposed to last year [TS]

00:32:41 ◼   ► where the mini was more than half the weight or less than half the weight of [TS]

00:32:48 ◼   ► the full-size iPad 2 big difference and I really do think it complicates it i [TS]

00:32:55 ◼   ► think im still gonna choose the millionth 0.3% is one-tenth of the [TS]

00:33:02 ◼   ► weight of a MacBook Air 13 inch so yes but that the fact that it's that little [TS]

00:33:10 ◼   ► we're getting in the weeds it is really is becoming harder to just make this [TS]

00:33:15 ◼   ► decision based on their have become so close together which you know kind of [TS]

00:33:25 ◼   ► leads me to wonder where is that whereas the high end of that size [TS]

00:33:29 ◼   ► gonna be in a year to go bigger with that I don't know I guess I wrote about [TS]

00:33:35 ◼   ► this in my pieces week but I think the best way to think about it is that last [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► year [TS]

00:33:40 ◼   ► choosing between the iPad Mini and iPad air was sort of like choosing between a [TS]

00:33:44 ◼   ► MacBook Air and MacBook Pro where there was a lot of tradeoffs performance [TS]

00:33:48 ◼   ► tradeoffs screen resolution tradeoffs bigger price differential and this year [TS]

00:33:54 ◼   ► to me it's more like choosing between the 11 inch air 13 in G word more or [TS]

00:33:58 ◼   ► less the same and you just kind of have to choose between which you know size [TS]

00:34:02 ◼   ► you like better and it's it's a lot more subtle of a difference to make you know [TS]

00:34:09 ◼   ► yeah I wonder if it's if you're reading the minis better if you do any sort of [TS]

00:34:18 ◼   ► create creative stuff that the bigger one [TS]

00:34:21 ◼   ► I think people who type on their iPad and I know there's a lot a lot of people [TS]

00:34:27 ◼   ► who do [TS]

00:34:28 ◼   ► gotta be better on the big one although I just saw it as a friend on Twitter [TS]

00:34:32 ◼   ► said you know I type better on the mini and I guess I think it's because he's a [TS]

00:35:40 ◼   ► much into the designer or slogan of the event invitations but the fact that this [TS]

00:35:46 ◼   ► one said we have a lot to we still have a lot to cover made me think maybe [TS]

00:36:51 ◼   ► macbook air while I'm traveling yes sometimes I am at a hotel desk and a [TS]

00:36:56 ◼   ► tablet on a hardware keyboard cover would do just as well but when I'm on an [TS]

01:17:21 ◼   ► cross-platform parody for iPhone iPad weapon [TS]
