Upgrade

106: I've Reached Acceptance

 

00:00:00 ◼   ► [Music]

00:00:08 ◼   ► From Relay FM, this is Upgrade, episode number 106.

00:00:12 ◼   ► Today's show is brought to you by Hover, Ring, and Mack Weldon.

00:00:17 ◼   ► My name is Myke Hurley, I am joined by Mr. Jason Snell.

00:00:20 ◼   ► Hello, Jason Snell.

00:00:21 ◼   ► Hello, Mr. Myke Hurley, it's good to see you.

00:00:24 ◼   ► Again, and yeah, we are live in Portland.

00:00:26 ◼   ► We're here for the XOXO Festival.

00:00:28 ◼   ► So because we're in person, we are joined by Mr. Steven Hackett.

00:00:32 ◼   ► Hey boys. Hey Steven Hackett.

00:00:34 ◼   ► We were remarking earlier, this is my third live upgrade this year,

00:00:38 ◼   ► but the first two I was sick, so I was in the hallway.

00:00:42 ◼   ► Yeah, we banned you last time. Quarantined. But now I'm here and we're sitting around

00:00:46 ◼   ► table together and we're going to talk about web objects.

00:00:49 ◼   ► What?

00:00:50 ◼   ► And old acts. Okay, we're going to end this episode now. Thanks so much for listening, everyone.

00:00:55 ◼   ► Open doc? I have a lot of notes on open doc.

00:00:57 ◼   ► Stephen and I are going to talk about the Mac SE, Myke, so just sit on back and...

00:01:00 ◼   ► Oh, that happened that time, didn't it?

00:01:02 ◼   ► So let's pull back the curtain a little bit. I'm sure everyone remembers our iMac special.

00:01:08 ◼   ► I have vivid memories of sitting, looking out of my window,

00:01:12 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:01:14 ◼   ► as you two were just talking about iMacs.

00:01:16 ◼   ► It's like, well, I have nothing to say, so I'll just enjoy this. I'll just listen.

00:01:20 ◼   ► Now you know how I feel when I'm connected when we're talking about workflow.

00:01:22 ◼   ► Yep, or music streaming services.

00:01:24 ◼   ► services. Especially that. So we are at the XOXO festival in Portland, Oregon. This is

00:01:30 ◼   ► just a really nice kind of getaway festival. It's very relaxed so we're kind of just enjoying

00:01:34 ◼   ► each other's company for a few days. We were playing some board games today. We recorded

00:01:39 ◼   ► a top four special that's going to be out at some point in the next couple of days where

00:01:43 ◼   ► we just ate cereal from a cereal van. So that's XOXO. That's a thing. That's Portland for

00:01:50 ◼   ► This is just a fun thing. I think this is the last one, but if they ever do it again

00:01:55 ◼   ► and you have the means and the desire I recommend it.

00:01:59 ◼   ► So we do have some follow up today. This is from a couple of weeks ago but I didn't think

00:02:03 ◼   ► it was worth talking about last week. Which was, if you remember, we spoke about the idea

00:02:08 ◼   ► of maybe doing a, I said Myke at the magazine rack for comics.

00:02:13 ◼   ► Terrible name.

00:02:14 ◼   ► What do you want? You got a better one?

00:02:16 ◼   ► The follow up does.

00:02:17 ◼   ► Do you have a better one?

00:02:18 ◼   ► No.

00:02:19 ◼   ► So we were gonna do a comic segment at some point in the future and we have a couple of

00:02:25 ◼   ► suggestions. Ryan suggested Hurley and the Heroes, because what we're going for here

00:02:30 ◼   ► is alliteration, I don't know if I made that clear. But like you know, Myke at the movies,

00:02:35 ◼   ► right, it works, Casey at the cinema, dude thanks, that's how they go. But I like Ian's

00:02:40 ◼   ► suggestion the most, where he said "com Myke time". Now I am a fan of puns in such a way

00:02:47 ◼   ► that I like this. Now Jason, I don't know what, actually quite a few people suggested

00:02:51 ◼   ► Comike Time. Now I'm willing to break the alliteration for the incredible pun that has

00:02:57 ◼   ► been suggested. Jason, do you have any thoughts, any further considerations for our segment?

00:03:04 ◼   ► I'll take all of these great ideas under advisement and get back to you.

00:03:07 ◼   ► Oh so we're not deciding on a name today. So if you have any other ideas, please continue

00:03:13 ◼   ► to send them in with the hashtag #AskUpgrade, because that's a great way for us to collect

00:03:16 ◼   ► that stuff. Clearly, Ryan and Ian, you have not won the prize of naming the segment.

00:03:21 ◼   ► Not yet. Not yet.

00:03:23 ◼   ► Jason, I understand you have some follow up in regards to Apple announcing hardware features

00:03:28 ◼   ► and software features they haven't shipped.

00:03:30 ◼   ► Yeah, I complained last time in the aftermath of the Apple event about how Apple... it struck

00:03:36 ◼   ► me how Apple had a major feature tied to brand new hardware that it was essentially saying

00:03:42 ◼   ► this isn't going to be ready when it ships, but we'll do an update later in this case,

00:03:47 ◼   ► the bokeh feature, the, uh, on the, on the six on the seven plus. And I heard from a

00:03:53 ◼   ► lot of people about that, um, who mentioned Apple pay and it is accurate to say that Apple

00:03:59 ◼   ► pay, which was a major feature, uh, adding the NFC to, to, uh, to the iPhone six and

00:04:07 ◼   ► it didn't work on day one. And then there was a moment where they flipped the switch

00:04:11 ◼   ► and turned it on. I think that's a fair point. I guess the difference, the reason I didn't,

00:04:17 ◼   ► I was well aware of that fact. The reason I didn't mention it is, I've always kind of

00:04:21 ◼   ► ascribed that to the needs of getting, you know, hooks into a new payment system up and

00:04:28 ◼   ► running and working with all the payment partners and having a date where it's like, as of this

00:04:31 ◼   ► date Apple Pay is turned on. More than Apple's inability to ship it. I don't have, I think,

00:04:37 ◼   ► facts to bring to bear there about that this was totally ready to go by Apple and it was

00:04:43 ◼   ► just being delayed by the partnership.

00:04:46 ◼   ► It may be that the software wasn't ready, in which case this is an exact analog.

00:04:52 ◼   ► So that's a fair point, but my larger point was more just that I was surprised that this

00:04:57 ◼   ► is something that Apple could have prioritized potentially and shipped with the phone, and

00:05:05 ◼   ► I'm surprised that they didn't.

00:05:07 ◼   ► But for all we know, something happened. And somebody said, "This isn't good enough to

00:05:12 ◼   ► ship. Let's not ship it."

00:05:13 ◼   ► I think it's clear that it wasn't a decision that, "Oh, we'll create this feature and we'll

00:05:17 ◼   ► just ship it later." Like, it obviously was meant to be included. The invites were all

00:05:24 ◼   ► about it, right?

00:05:25 ◼   ► About it.

00:05:26 ◼   ► The extra credit. And that's what was kind of rivaling me, is the idea that this is just

00:05:29 ◼   ► an extra credit problem. This is just a bonus.

00:05:31 ◼   ► It's a nice spin, but it's not... I don't believe it.

00:05:34 ◼   ► It can't be accurate.

00:05:35 ◼   ► - It is code for we couldn't get this done in time.

00:05:38 ◼   ► - Yeah, exactly.

00:05:39 ◼   ► - There was one thing that I was thinking about,

00:05:41 ◼   ► like with the Apple Pay stuff,

00:05:42 ◼   ► I don't recall them ever saying this is coming later.

00:05:46 ◼   ► Like this is the difference here.

00:05:47 ◼   ► Things have been late, right?

00:05:49 ◼   ► And like weird things happen.

00:05:50 ◼   ► So like cross-platform features between iOS and the Mac

00:05:54 ◼   ► don't work when they don't release the operating systems

00:05:57 ◼   ► at the same time.

00:05:58 ◼   ► - Right.

00:05:59 ◼   ► - Right, but they don't ever really mention

00:05:59 ◼   ► that sort of stuff.

00:06:00 ◼   ► Like Handoff, Handoff was released in iOS

00:06:03 ◼   ► and I think Mac OS was like a little bit later

00:06:05 ◼   ► like it is this time.

00:06:06 ◼   ► - Right.

00:06:07 ◼   ► - Well that feature didn't work, right?

00:06:08 ◼   ► 'Cause you couldn't do it.

00:06:09 ◼   ► So there are things like that where the timing slip,

00:06:11 ◼   ► but I think this is an unprecedented thing in recent years

00:06:15 ◼   ► that Apple had a thing that they're talking about

00:06:17 ◼   ► which isn't yet available, where they did it on stage.

00:06:20 ◼   ► 'Cause you've got like 9.3, iOS 9.3 and stuff like that,

00:06:23 ◼   ► but it's the idea of like, hey, here's this product,

00:06:25 ◼   ► it's gonna do this great thing later.

00:06:28 ◼   ► - Well, I think the reason it's so strange

00:06:31 ◼   ► is that it is on their flagship device.

00:06:34 ◼   ► And I would argue the biggest new thing

00:06:38 ◼   ► in their flagship device this year.

00:06:39 ◼   ► - It's the reason for two cameras.

00:06:41 ◼   ► - Right, it is definitely strange.

00:06:44 ◼   ► And I know going back to the Apple Pay thing for a second,

00:06:46 ◼   ► they're still rolling banks out to Apple Pay.

00:06:48 ◼   ► I mean, how's it been a year, a year and a half later?

00:06:50 ◼   ► So that's a-- - Two years.

00:06:53 ◼   ► - Yeah, I think that's a--

00:06:54 ◼   ► - Apple Pay is a good point to bring up,

00:06:56 ◼   ► but I think it's the differences in nuance.

00:06:59 ◼   ► I think it is a good call for like, yeah, this is a thing that wasn't immediately available.

00:07:04 ◼   ► But the difference that we're looking at is like, this is the thing that Apple is pre-announcing

00:07:08 ◼   ► because they haven't finished yet.

00:07:09 ◼   ► Right.

00:07:10 ◼   ► It's a feature versus a service, like kind of a different field.

00:07:12 ◼   ► But yeah, it's just really weird that, I mean, I was trying to think about an analog even

00:07:17 ◼   ► like historically, and I can't really come up with one.

00:07:20 ◼   ► And I'm not trying to say what's wrong with Apple or anything like that when I say it.

00:07:24 ◼   ► It just struck me as being not something that I think I've seen Apple do where I thought

00:07:29 ◼   ► it was really interesting.

00:07:30 ◼   ► There's probably more to the story.

00:07:32 ◼   ► Like I said, I think they didn't want to do it this way.

00:07:35 ◼   ► Several people wrote in, I think quite rightly saying, the alternative is don't say that

00:07:40 ◼   ► this feature exists, but if somebody decides not to buy the iPhone 7 Plus and just goes

00:07:47 ◼   ► for the 7 because they're not impressed with the 2X zoom, and then two months from now

00:07:51 ◼   ► now you announce that you've got this other amazing feature

00:07:53 ◼   ► and they say, "God, I would have gotten the bigger phone

00:07:55 ◼   ► "if I had only known."

00:07:56 ◼   ► - This is a-- - That's a problem.

00:07:57 ◼   ► So you need to say, this is our intention,

00:07:59 ◼   ► we are going to ship this.

00:08:00 ◼   ► - Whatever they're calling it, portrait mode I think,

00:08:02 ◼   ► this is a landmark feature of that device.

00:08:05 ◼   ► Like, you have to talk about this.

00:08:07 ◼   ► Like, there's no way they could have just said like,

00:08:10 ◼   ► "Hey, 10.1, it's not like a small enhancement,

00:08:13 ◼   ► "it's like adding new emoji."

00:08:15 ◼   ► - Right.

00:08:16 ◼   ► - This is like a big checklist feature

00:08:18 ◼   ► that Apple wants to push.

00:08:20 ◼   ► Like this is a big thing for them.

00:08:21 ◼   ► - And I just didn't want to let, so I'm not saying,

00:08:24 ◼   ► oh, this is the show's doom for Apple or anything like that.

00:08:27 ◼   ► That's not the case.

00:08:28 ◼   ► But I also felt like just taking it at face value

00:08:32 ◼   ► and saying, oh, it's extra credit.

00:08:33 ◼   ► It's not that important.

00:08:34 ◼   ► It'll be there later and won't it be cool,

00:08:36 ◼   ► but it's just a bonus feature.

00:08:37 ◼   ► And I heard some people say that.

00:08:39 ◼   ► I'm sorry, that I don't buy.

00:08:41 ◼   ► That is Spin.

00:08:42 ◼   ► This is a feature that is key to this product

00:08:44 ◼   ► and it wasn't ready.

00:08:45 ◼   ► And I think that's what really kind of made me

00:08:47 ◼   ► want to talk about it a little bit more

00:08:48 ◼   ► than you might expect is that, because this is important,

00:08:52 ◼   ► and I am a little surprised that they didn't have it ready,

00:08:54 ◼   ► but I will say again, if somebody was brave enough,

00:08:58 ◼   ► let's use courage.

00:09:00 ◼   ► - Too soon, dude, too soon.

00:09:04 ◼   ► - To say, I know this is a banner feature,

00:09:06 ◼   ► but in the shape it's in right now, we should not ship it.

00:09:09 ◼   ► We should say that it's coming and ship it later.

00:09:11 ◼   ► If that's what happened here,

00:09:13 ◼   ► you actually have to kind of give them some credit,

00:09:16 ◼   ► Because they could have shipped it

00:09:17 ◼   ► and had it been terrible, right?

00:09:19 ◼   ► And just like fix it later.

00:09:21 ◼   ► And that's not what happened.

00:09:23 ◼   ► - The traditional Apple thing of holding the feature

00:09:25 ◼   ► for later, right?

00:09:26 ◼   ► That's like the traditional thing is

00:09:28 ◼   ► don't talk about anything you're doing.

00:09:29 ◼   ► Just surprise everyone.

00:09:31 ◼   ► - Yeah, I think the reason they had to talk about it

00:09:33 ◼   ► is they want to move people to the Plus.

00:09:35 ◼   ► It's a more expensive device.

00:09:37 ◼   ► They make more money from it.

00:09:38 ◼   ► And--

00:09:39 ◼   ► - They're able to do more with it.

00:09:40 ◼   ► - They're able to do more with it.

00:09:41 ◼   ► So I think it's part of the pitch.

00:09:44 ◼   ► - It's the biggest change in the whole product line too.

00:09:46 ◼   ► So that's the balance, right? And I agree with you, Jason, that if it is true that it

00:09:51 ◼   ► wasn't as good and someone had to say, "Hey, look, this needs a little more time," then

00:09:55 ◼   ► that's the sort of decision-making at Apple that I want to see. I want to see, "Hey, even

00:09:59 ◼   ► though this is awkward and even though this is going to be uncomfortable for us from a

00:10:03 ◼   ► press perspective, it's the right thing to do for the product," I can get behind that

00:10:07 ◼   ► sort of decision-making at the company.

00:10:11 ◼   ► So since the last episode between then and now the iPhones have gone on sale so I'm going

00:10:17 ◼   ► to talk about what we bought.

00:10:18 ◼   ► So I was going into this to get a Matt Black was what I was going to get.

00:10:24 ◼   ► The Black.

00:10:25 ◼   ► The Matt Black.

00:10:26 ◼   ► Black.

00:10:27 ◼   ► Matt Black.

00:10:28 ◼   ► Matt Black and Jet Black.

00:10:29 ◼   ► That's how I think of them.

00:10:30 ◼   ► I know it's called Black.

00:10:31 ◼   ► I like Matt Black.

00:10:32 ◼   ► Matt had nothing to do with it.

00:10:33 ◼   ► He did everything.

00:10:34 ◼   ► So I was going to get Black 128 Plus.

00:10:39 ◼   ► I opened the Apple Store app in the UK, absolutely no black of any kind, black or jet black available

00:10:49 ◼   ► on launch day for delivery or pickup at any size tier, they had none of them. So I decided

00:10:57 ◼   ► I then went back to my second pick, my original choice before they even showed the black which

00:11:02 ◼   ► was 128 gold plus which is what I've got for pick up. The reason I did this is I don't

00:11:09 ◼   ► care too much about the colour because I'm putting it in a case and for me personally

00:11:15 ◼   ► having the phone on day one is more important than the colour when I won't even pay attention

00:11:19 ◼   ► to that in a couple of weeks time. The reason I wanted the black one is because the back

00:11:25 ◼   ► of it was so nice but I'm never going to see that and I really like the accents that the

00:11:30 ◼   ► the gold and the rose gold have, like with the touch ID.

00:11:34 ◼   ► So I'm happy with the gold, that's what I went with,

00:11:37 ◼   ► because I want to be able to get it on day one,

00:11:39 ◼   ► 'cause I like to have this stuff so I can talk about it.

00:11:43 ◼   ► I'm waiting until like October or November,

00:11:46 ◼   ► that doesn't work for me.

00:11:47 ◼   ► Like I want to be able to have the device

00:11:48 ◼   ► so I'm able to come on this show

00:11:50 ◼   ► and talk intelligently about it,

00:11:52 ◼   ► so that's why I always go for day one.

00:11:54 ◼   ► So that's what I did, and I'm happy with my decision,

00:11:56 ◼   ► 'cause I was gonna get the gold anyway,

00:11:57 ◼   ► I have my gold iPad Pro, and I love it.

00:11:59 ◼   ► I love the gold, so that's what I went for.

00:12:02 ◼   ► Jason, did you buy anything?

00:12:05 ◼   ► - No, I am in the unique privilege position

00:12:07 ◼   ► of being a reviewer.

00:12:09 ◼   ► - Yep.

00:12:10 ◼   ► - And so that gives me the opportunity to review the phones

00:12:13 ◼   ► and try them out and then make a decision.

00:12:15 ◼   ► So I just decided to defer and I'll figure out

00:12:17 ◼   ► which one I'm gonna buy later on.

00:12:19 ◼   ► My guess is it will be something in black

00:12:21 ◼   ► and it will be a seven.

00:12:23 ◼   ► - With the hope that you'll get a unit at some point.

00:12:26 ◼   ► - Yeah, that I'll get a review in from Apple

00:12:28 ◼   ► and be able to use that and write about it

00:12:29 ◼   ► the launch and then I'll have those and from those lessons decide if do I want to buy one

00:12:35 ◼   ► and which one do I want to buy.

00:12:36 ◼   ► So, I mean you were on the fence about Plus. You're not going to go Plus? It was something

00:12:41 ◼   ► you were considering at least.

00:12:42 ◼   ► Yeah I think I mentioned this last time but that was a long show and it was very busy

00:12:48 ◼   ► and you were very sleepy.

00:12:50 ◼   ► I wasn't sleepy, it's just been a long day.

00:12:52 ◼   ► It's been a long day.

00:12:53 ◼   ► I'll say that.

00:12:55 ◼   ► So what has been described about the Plus where it's just, you've got the 2x camera

00:13:02 ◼   ► along with the 1x camera and this bokeh feature.

00:13:06 ◼   ► And a bit more battery life.

00:13:07 ◼   ► And a bit more battery life.

00:13:09 ◼   ► And it's enormous.

00:13:10 ◼   ► But that's a good thing.

00:13:13 ◼   ► The size is a good thing if it's what you're looking for.

00:13:16 ◼   ► You have a really big iPad.

00:13:17 ◼   ► Did you know about that?

00:13:18 ◼   ► I did know that.

00:13:19 ◼   ► I don't put it in my pocket.

00:13:20 ◼   ► And a big iPad.

00:13:21 ◼   ► I don't run with it.

00:13:22 ◼   ► You put it in a bag.

00:13:23 ◼   ► But it's the same idea, right?

00:13:24 ◼   ► It's like you're having the size for the utility of it.

00:13:27 ◼   ► That's what a lot of people like about it.

00:13:29 ◼   ► - Right, and my, unusually my iPhone

00:13:32 ◼   ► is not really my primary device

00:13:33 ◼   ► because I spend much more time on my iPad

00:13:35 ◼   ► because I, you know, an independent worker

00:13:38 ◼   ► or as you like to call it sometimes maybe a shut-in.

00:13:40 ◼   ► - A free agent.

00:13:41 ◼   ► - A shut-in, I was gonna say.

00:13:42 ◼   ► I never leave the house.

00:13:44 ◼   ► I rarely leave the house.

00:13:45 ◼   ► And so I'm leaning away from the plus for the same reason

00:13:48 ◼   ► which is it's very large and that means like

00:13:50 ◼   ► when I go running it's a much larger phone

00:13:52 ◼   ► wiggling in my pocket and all of those all of those reasons for it so it's and the camera on the seven is catching up

00:13:59 ◼   ► Okay, the seven camera is getting better too, even though it's not gonna have that now

00:14:03 ◼   ► I would love that I would love that 2x camera, but there's not enough of those features

00:14:07 ◼   ► I if I had been blown away with we're doing

00:14:10 ◼   ► Math to do amazing quality of that, but it really is just sort of like look we have two cameras

00:14:15 ◼   ► So you can go 1x and 2x and what I said last week was I got kind of caught up in the fantasy of what?

00:14:20 ◼   ► what a two camera set up could do. And the reality is it's camera one, camera two, one

00:14:25 ◼   ► x two x and that's cool and I like that feature but I'm not sure that is enough for me to

00:14:31 ◼   ► switch to a larger phone this year. So, but we'll see. I mean, my hope is that I will

00:14:35 ◼   ► get both models from Apple to try and that allows me to spend some time with both sizes

00:14:40 ◼   ► and see if my opinions changed at all about the bigger size.

00:14:44 ◼   ► Steven?

00:14:45 ◼   ► staying in the Plus Club, as one does.

00:14:48 ◼   ► So that was really a no brainer for me.

00:14:51 ◼   ► I like the size, I wanted the camera.

00:14:53 ◼   ► Doing the 128 gig, I was going to go up this year

00:14:57 ◼   ► from the 6S Plus, so I was happy to see

00:15:01 ◼   ► that they doubled that storage tier.

00:15:03 ◼   ► - Me too.

00:15:04 ◼   ► - So 128 gig and I did the regular black.

00:15:07 ◼   ► I was tempted by the jet black and they were still,

00:15:11 ◼   ► I think they were slipping by the time I got in to order.

00:15:14 ◼   ► there now the dates are a little for day one but I have a regular black for day

00:15:19 ◼   ► one for day one you see I think that well I think it's pretty obvious and I

00:15:24 ◼   ► think Apple even kind of hinted towards this that the black models are supply

00:15:28 ◼   ► constrained because they're new and you new manufacturing processes I think that

00:15:33 ◼   ► maybe they just didn't have they just didn't send and it's not sending them so

00:15:38 ◼   ► okay this isn't the first time there's another angle to that so last week

00:15:42 ◼   ► the news broke that Apple is not going to be sharing weekend launch weekend sales numbers

00:15:48 ◼   ► and reading the tea leaves I don't think it's hard to say that their number they can sell

00:15:54 ◼   ► is going to be limited by the number they have yielded.

00:15:57 ◼   ► Because one of the lines in that release was we're gonna sell out anyway.

00:16:01 ◼   ► Right and so if that number they've been able to produce is lower than whatever they sold

00:16:05 ◼   ► last time that number looks bad.

00:16:07 ◼   ► Like they would sell out no matter what it was but they actually can't make enough so

00:16:11 ◼   ► so it's gonna look like they've had a dip in sales,

00:16:13 ◼   ► which right now Apple does not need that.

00:16:16 ◼   ► - Right. - Right?

00:16:17 ◼   ► - And so my guess is that maybe that is the Jet Black

00:16:19 ◼   ► for some reason, they're harder to make.

00:16:21 ◼   ► - And maybe they're regular black as well,

00:16:22 ◼   ► 'cause they said that they're both like immediately--

00:16:25 ◼   ► - They're both new.

00:16:26 ◼   ► - Late October, right? - Yeah.

00:16:27 ◼   ► - In the UK, so and this is normal

00:16:29 ◼   ► that they fill the US first.

00:16:32 ◼   ► - Sure. - As they would.

00:16:33 ◼   ► And then the rest of the world will wait.

00:16:36 ◼   ► - But yeah, but I got a little scared off

00:16:38 ◼   ► from the Jet Black about talk about micro abrasions

00:16:41 ◼   ► and whatnot. I do carry my phone without a case. So I want to see how the Jet Black phones

00:16:46 ◼   ► hold up and if that color sticks around and I end up liking it and they seem to wear okay

00:16:51 ◼   ► then I may do it next time but for now the regular black will sue me.

00:16:54 ◼   ► I want to play around with one. There's been a lot of people writing their impressions

00:16:58 ◼   ► and saying it's kind of tacky feeling.

00:17:00 ◼   ► It's a groupers said.

00:17:01 ◼   ► Yeah, a couple of people have said that. I know that you kind of felt like it was just...

00:17:06 ◼   ► I didn't get... I picked it up and put it down.

00:17:09 ◼   ► Maybe there has a sweater than yours. Maybe that's what it is.

00:17:12 ◼   ► But I want to see, I just want to see, because it's new as well, I just want to see what it looks like.

00:17:17 ◼   ► I'm hoping they will at least have display models in a store on Friday.

00:17:21 ◼   ► But yeah, I'm going in to pick it up at like 8.30 in the morning on Friday.

00:17:25 ◼   ► And then I'll have it all day to play around with them. We'll be able to talk about them on the show next week, which I'm really excited about.

00:17:30 ◼   ► Because I'm actually, we'll get into this a little later on, but I'm really excited for this phone.

00:17:35 ◼   ► I think there's a lot of interesting stuff there.

00:17:37 ◼   ► Unfortunately, and again, we're gonna talk about it

00:17:39 ◼   ► again today, some of the things that have been taken away

00:17:42 ◼   ► from it overshadowing the news of what it's got.

00:17:45 ◼   ► - That's true, that's a fair point.

00:17:46 ◼   ► - But the headlines and the things that are interesting

00:17:48 ◼   ► to think about is what's been taken away.

00:17:50 ◼   ► - And this is what, everything's happening, right?

00:17:53 ◼   ► This is the high season in many ways

00:17:56 ◼   ► for talking about what Apple's doing.

00:17:59 ◼   ► And so this week we're going to get new iPhones,

00:18:02 ◼   ► We're going to get a new version of iOS released to everybody.

00:18:05 ◼   ► And then coming down the pipe, we've also got the new, you know, Mac OS Sierra release.

00:18:09 ◼   ► So there's a lot going on.

00:18:10 ◼   ► The new watches are going to come.

00:18:12 ◼   ► - Hopefully new Macs.

00:18:13 ◼   ► - The AirPods will appear at some point, right?

00:18:16 ◼   ► I mean, all of that is happening in the next few weeks and that's exciting.

00:18:20 ◼   ► - All right, let's take a break.

00:18:21 ◼   ► This week's episode is brought to you by Mac World.

00:18:24 ◼   ► And now I want to tell you, if you're not wearing Mac World,

00:18:27 ◼   ► then whatever you are wearing is not good enough right now.

00:18:31 ◼   ► Macworlden believes in smart design, premium fabrics and simple shopping.

00:18:36 ◼   ► It's so easy to go to their website and just take a look at all the beautiful products

00:18:40 ◼   ► that they have and you can buy them.

00:18:42 ◼   ► I heard Stephen talk about this on Connected.

00:18:45 ◼   ► I love this too.

00:18:46 ◼   ► When you add things to your cart, there's this little bar that goes across the top which

00:18:50 ◼   ► adds all the savings.

00:18:51 ◼   ► So when I was buying some stuff, I got saving more money and I was buying more things to

00:18:54 ◼   ► save more money.

00:18:55 ◼   ► But I'm happy with everything that I got.

00:18:57 ◼   ► I traveled here with my Mac Weldon sweatpants

00:19:01 ◼   ► and I love those things so much.

00:19:03 ◼   ► They are now my traveling pants.

00:19:06 ◼   ► - Wow.

00:19:06 ◼   ► - See how I call them pants as well?

00:19:08 ◼   ► It makes me feel very uncomfortable.

00:19:09 ◼   ► - Yeah, I also am using my traveling pants for Mac Weldon,

00:19:13 ◼   ► but I mean--

00:19:14 ◼   ► - My pants.

00:19:14 ◼   ► - My underpants.

00:19:16 ◼   ► And Steven's wearing a nice Mac Weldon undershirt right now.

00:19:18 ◼   ► - I am.

00:19:19 ◼   ► - You can't see my underpants,

00:19:20 ◼   ► but you can see Steven's shirt.

00:19:21 ◼   ► - So they, like many of our sponsors do,

00:19:23 ◼   ► Mac Weldon kicked us out with some stuff,

00:19:26 ◼   ► but I am going to be buying more of their stuff

00:19:29 ◼   ► because it is really good.

00:19:32 ◼   ► Like the stuff looks good, the socks are great,

00:19:34 ◼   ► they're long socks, which is really interesting

00:19:36 ◼   ► and they have great colors.

00:19:37 ◼   ► Jason is pulling up his trousers to show me his socks.

00:19:40 ◼   ► I assume they're Mack Weldon socks.

00:19:42 ◼   ► - They are.

00:19:43 ◼   ► - I really, really like their stuff.

00:19:45 ◼   ► They make comfortable underwear, socks, shirts, undershirts,

00:19:48 ◼   ► hoodies, sweatpants.

00:19:49 ◼   ► I wanna try one of their hoodies as well

00:19:50 ◼   ► 'cause the sweatpants are like a really interesting material

00:19:54 ◼   ► and they're super comfortable, they have great pockets.

00:19:56 ◼   ► They have pockets with zips,

00:19:58 ◼   ► and considering I'm traveling, I want pockets with zips.

00:20:01 ◼   ► It's like my passport and stuff,

00:20:03 ◼   ► like they're absolutely fantastic.

00:20:04 ◼   ► They have a line of silver underwear and shirts

00:20:07 ◼   ► that are naturally anti-microbial.

00:20:09 ◼   ► - Yeah, means they aren't gonna get all smelly.

00:20:11 ◼   ► - Yep, which is brilliant, some cool science stuff.

00:20:14 ◼   ► Maccawdon, I want you to be comfortable.

00:20:15 ◼   ► If you don't like your first pair of whatever you buy,

00:20:17 ◼   ► keep it and they'll refund you, no questions asked.

00:20:20 ◼   ► They do not want your underpants sent back to them.

00:20:25 ◼   ► - No they don't.

00:20:25 ◼   ► - You keep them.

00:20:26 ◼   ► - Give them to a friend.

00:20:27 ◼   ► - Do whatever you want.

00:20:28 ◼   ► - Wear them, don't wear them.

00:20:30 ◼   ► They don't want them back.

00:20:31 ◼   ► - But you should because it's great.

00:20:32 ◼   ► And they look good, they perform good,

00:20:34 ◼   ► you're gonna feel good.

00:20:35 ◼   ► Listeners of this show can get 20% off at Mac Weldon,

00:20:38 ◼   ► that's M-A-C-K-W-E-L-D-O-N dot com.

00:20:42 ◼   ► Just use the code upgrade to get 20% off at Mac Weldon dot com.

00:20:47 ◼   ► Thank you so much to Mac Weldon

00:20:48 ◼   ► for their support of this show and Relay FM.

00:20:51 ◼   ► So I'm trying so hard.

00:20:53 ◼   ► - Not to say Mac Worlding?

00:20:54 ◼   ► - Mac World On or Mac Welding.

00:20:56 ◼   ► (laughing)

00:20:57 ◼   ► When you weld a Mac together, it's Mac Welding.

00:21:00 ◼   ► - You don't wanna do that.

00:21:01 ◼   ► - No, you've probably tried it.

00:21:03 ◼   ► - The aluminum gets sort of burny.

00:21:06 ◼   ► - Melty.

00:21:08 ◼   ► iPhone upgrade program.

00:21:09 ◼   ► So we spoke about this last week.

00:21:11 ◼   ► It came to the UK and I was considering it,

00:21:13 ◼   ► but I took a look at it and I wasn't,

00:21:17 ◼   ► I don't know why, but I wasn't that keen.

00:21:19 ◼   ► I took a look at how much it would cost.

00:21:20 ◼   ► It was like 45 pounds a month

00:21:24 ◼   ► to get the iPhone unlocked that I wanted.

00:21:27 ◼   ► And for some reason, I was turned off by that.

00:21:30 ◼   ► Now, over the course of the product's life,

00:21:34 ◼   ► I wouldn't pay that much more,

00:21:35 ◼   ► 'cause I mean, it was very expensive.

00:21:37 ◼   ► I think my phone was over 800 pounds.

00:21:39 ◼   ► It was incredibly expensive.

00:21:41 ◼   ► But the way that I've been dealing with that in the past

00:21:43 ◼   ► is by saving up through the year.

00:21:45 ◼   ► So I'm gonna, I personally am gonna keep doing it that way

00:21:48 ◼   ► because now I can sell my current phone

00:21:51 ◼   ► and make a little bit of money back.

00:21:53 ◼   ► - That's the math here is the iPhone upgrade program,

00:21:57 ◼   ► you're paying essentially the cost of the phone

00:22:02 ◼   ► divided out over 24 months,

00:22:04 ◼   ► but after 12 months you hand it back in,

00:22:07 ◼   ► the remaining 12 months is basically bought out

00:22:09 ◼   ► and you get a new phone and begin a new 24 month payoff.

00:22:12 ◼   ► So if you want to buy the phone yourself, like you did,

00:22:16 ◼   ► and you can sell it back or sell it to someone else

00:22:19 ◼   ► or give it to a friend who, however you wanna do that

00:22:23 ◼   ► and buy a new one then, if what you're getting back

00:22:27 ◼   ► after a year, let's say, is half the value of that phone,

00:22:31 ◼   ► you're in.

00:22:33 ◼   ► You've got exactly how much you had.

00:22:35 ◼   ► And if you can sell it for more than that,

00:22:37 ◼   ► which it probably is worth, you actually will be ahead,

00:22:40 ◼   ► but you have to have that money upfront.

00:22:41 ◼   ► - Exactly, so it's like I think that it is a good program

00:22:44 ◼   ► for people that haven't saved the money.

00:22:46 ◼   ► 'Cause you're just doing it the other way around.

00:22:49 ◼   ► But because I had been to--

00:22:50 ◼   ► - Or don't want their phone back.

00:22:51 ◼   ► Like every year they have no interest in selling it

00:22:53 ◼   ► or giving it to a friend or handing it down

00:22:55 ◼   ► to a family member.

00:22:56 ◼   ► - You just don't wanna deal with that.

00:22:57 ◼   ► - They just wanna hand it in at the end of the year

00:22:59 ◼   ► and get the new iPhone and walk away.

00:23:01 ◼   ► - But from what I can see, it looks like,

00:23:04 ◼   ► so this is the first year where people have tried

00:23:06 ◼   ► to renew their phones.

00:23:07 ◼   ► It doesn't seem like it went very well.

00:23:09 ◼   ► No, there's been, it sounds like Apple was taken by surprise because it looks, what I've,

00:23:16 ◼   ► the reports I've been seeing the last few days are that Apple realizes this is a problem

00:23:20 ◼   ► and they started to change.

00:23:21 ◼   ► Like some of the notes used to say, you know, sorry we can't help you now, call us on September

00:23:26 ◼   ► 16th or September 18th.

00:23:28 ◼   ► Like call us after the phone's been out a couple of days and we'll try to work with

00:23:31 ◼   ► you.

00:23:32 ◼   ► And that's changed to call our 800 number and tell them that you're with the upgrade

00:23:37 ◼   ► program and we will you know we'll try to help you out because the complaints are you

00:23:42 ◼   ► have to go to the store to pick it up which is for some people is problematic because

00:23:46 ◼   ► the stores can be far away.

00:23:48 ◼   ► Oh and you work.

00:23:50 ◼   ► And well all of those things they're open other hours but yeah you've got your life

00:23:53 ◼   ► and so you've got to get you've got to make a physical appearance at the store it sort

00:23:57 ◼   ► of makes sense because you do need to turn in your old phone.

00:24:00 ◼   ► It is the best thing for Apple to do rather than having to deal with people mailing their

00:24:05 ◼   ► phones in. Like I understand why they want you to go to a store but it's not always easy.

00:24:10 ◼   ► Right. They do need to be in good condition. I mean essentially what you're doing is leasing

00:24:14 ◼   ► your phone here because if you bring a phone back, just like if you lease a car and then

00:24:19 ◼   ► you bring it back and it's got a huge dent in it, they're going to charge you something

00:24:22 ◼   ► for that. If your phone is not in great condition when you bring it back, you actually will

00:24:27 ◼   ► be assessed an AppleCare fee and so that'll be money out of your pocket. That's all probably

00:24:34 ◼   ► was all specified in the documents that people signed up front but it's still not everybody

00:24:39 ◼   ► reads everything. On stage they just said you'll get a new phone. Yay! It's raining

00:24:43 ◼   ► from the sky. Exactly. But still it does feel strange that when a bunch of people who are

00:24:51 ◼   ► the most loyal excited iPhone buyers out there who say yes give me a new iPhone every year

00:24:56 ◼   ► I just want the latest iPhone. That when they went to finally do their first little swap

00:25:02 ◼   ► What they got was, well, you're not going to be able to get one for a while

00:25:07 ◼   ► because we don't have them, we don't have them in stock.

00:25:10 ◼   ► So even if you come in here, you're not going to be able to do that.

00:25:12 ◼   ► And on one level, I kind of understand that in terms of Apple

00:25:17 ◼   ► wanting to have stock for the people who are coming in to buy them.

00:25:19 ◼   ► On another level, those are the most loyal iPhone buyers.

00:25:22 ◼   ► This is the new customer, existing customer problem.

00:25:25 ◼   ► Right.

00:25:26 ◼   ► You know, like you have financial institutions, you get a better deal

00:25:29 ◼   ► if you're new and this is like the way you start to upset people because it's really

00:25:33 ◼   ► difficult to understand what's best but really they should be taking care of these people,

00:25:38 ◼   ► the existing customers. I think because these, if you're looking at your customer sat, this

00:25:43 ◼   ► is where you want these people to be happy. But this is another reason why I didn't go

00:25:49 ◼   ► with it because I started thinking to myself, it seems really uncertain as to how you get

00:25:54 ◼   ► the phone. It's completely out of your hands. I do pick up now because I can't stand what

00:25:58 ◼   ► waiting for delivery.

00:26:00 ◼   ► Like I want the idea of me clicking this phone

00:26:03 ◼   ► to be in my hands as much as possible.

00:26:05 ◼   ► - Instead of waiting for the person to come to your house

00:26:07 ◼   ► at 7 p.m. with a box.

00:26:09 ◼   ► - I'm just gonna go and I'm gonna get it

00:26:11 ◼   ► and I know it's mine.

00:26:13 ◼   ► And that's the problem with the iPhone upgrade program

00:26:15 ◼   ► is you may or may not get it,

00:26:17 ◼   ► who knows when you're gonna get it.

00:26:19 ◼   ► - I kind of expected it to work

00:26:20 ◼   ► that when they announced it,

00:26:21 ◼   ► the people would get their email that day that said,

00:26:25 ◼   ► new iPhone is here, you got one last year,

00:26:28 ◼   ► you're eligible on this date, make your choice,

00:26:32 ◼   ► and we will get you, and I know they're supply constrained,

00:26:36 ◼   ► but you would think that if they're eligible

00:26:39 ◼   ► on a particular date for their new iPhone,

00:26:42 ◼   ► that Apple would walk them through that process immediately

00:26:44 ◼   ► and say, we will get it to you, or come to this store,

00:26:48 ◼   ► or something like that.

00:26:49 ◼   ► And I know it's complex situation,

00:26:51 ◼   ► but it does feel like maybe these people

00:26:53 ◼   ► weren't taken care of as well as they should be.

00:26:55 ◼   ► - Maybe I walk through a land of lollipops and rainbows,

00:26:57 ◼   ► but like in my head, 'cause I'd never looked into this.

00:26:59 ◼   ► - Is that what England's like?

00:27:00 ◼   ► - It's what it's like.

00:27:02 ◼   ► Because I never really looked into this.

00:27:03 ◼   ► In my mind, it was always just,

00:27:05 ◼   ► they just send you a new one.

00:27:06 ◼   ► But the iPhones are announced and they're like,

00:27:07 ◼   ► hey, your new iPhone's on the way.

00:27:08 ◼   ► Like you don't do anything, they just send you it.

00:27:10 ◼   ► - We'll send you a new one, swap the SIM card out

00:27:12 ◼   ► and put the old one in the box and send it back to us.

00:27:14 ◼   ► - That was how I thought it went.

00:27:15 ◼   ► Like that you didn't even really need to do anything

00:27:17 ◼   ► and you were definitely getting one.

00:27:19 ◼   ► - You subscribed to the iPhone, right?

00:27:21 ◼   ► New iPhone comes, you get one. - So I'm pretty sure

00:27:22 ◼   ► that a lot of people thought

00:27:24 ◼   ► that this was the way it was gonna go.

00:27:26 ◼   ► Wonder what they could do to change this. I think there were people who leave the program right again the most enthusiastic

00:27:32 ◼   ► owners are now kind of

00:27:35 ◼   ► Left and left in the cold a little bit

00:27:38 ◼   ► I do like the idea that these people there's some sort of roped off inventory for the upgrade program and

00:27:46 ◼   ► Maybe on that that day of the announcement you say this is my preference and then it gets pulled out of the main channel

00:27:52 ◼   ► that the rest of us buy from.

00:27:54 ◼   ► But if the yields are really low,

00:27:56 ◼   ► then maybe it was just a decision that had to be made.

00:27:59 ◼   ► But I would think either way

00:28:02 ◼   ► that the way this works next year will be different.

00:28:05 ◼   ► I think they're going to hopefully learn their lesson.

00:28:08 ◼   ► 'Cause there are a lot of vocal people about this

00:28:12 ◼   ► that just aren't happy.

00:28:13 ◼   ► And these are the customers you really wanna keep happy.

00:28:15 ◼   ► - And I understand why you would be unhappy as well.

00:28:17 ◼   ► - Yeah.

00:28:18 ◼   ► - 'Cause you've paid them a lot of money.

00:28:19 ◼   ► - And you've expected it, right?

00:28:20 ◼   ► For the whole year you've been told,

00:28:22 ◼   ► I can walk in and get a new iPhone and just trade this one in and maybe that's not the

00:28:25 ◼   ► case.

00:28:26 ◼   ► You know, I kind of don't understand why they can't.

00:28:29 ◼   ► I mean with the exception of the black models, you know, like the silver and the two golds,

00:28:36 ◼   ► if you have one of those, they could have just put that aside for you.

00:28:40 ◼   ► Like you know, they knew how many they needed to make.

00:28:43 ◼   ► Like I understand there's a problem with the black models because they're new and blah

00:28:47 ◼   ► blah blah blah.

00:28:48 ◼   ► But you know, it kind of just feels a little

00:28:50 ◼   ► upsetting for these people,

00:28:53 ◼   ► because, you know, we're all excited about this stuff, right?

00:28:55 ◼   ► Like we all want to get it.

00:28:56 ◼   ► It's all like Christmas morning, you know, like this is what we wait for

00:28:59 ◼   ► every year is the new iPhone that we get really excited about.

00:29:02 ◼   ► And it's a shame that there's these people that have had this expectation,

00:29:05 ◼   ► have been given a check to Apple every month,

00:29:07 ◼   ► and now they have to kind of wait.

00:29:10 ◼   ► And like the thing is, even worse than that, let's say you wait

00:29:12 ◼   ► for like a month or two, you're still paying the old one, right?

00:29:15 ◼   ► Like you don't have a new one.

00:29:16 ◼   ► And it's a shame.

00:29:17 ◼   ► And I get like, again, like it's like

00:29:20 ◼   ► with what we were just talking about a moment ago, this is a new thing.

00:29:24 ◼   ► They're trying to understand it and they're trying to work forward from it.

00:29:27 ◼   ► And I hope that we're going to see some change in the program going forward.

00:29:30 ◼   ► We'll see.

00:29:31 ◼   ► So I mentioned talking about things which have gone away.

00:29:36 ◼   ► I wanted to talk about the headphone jack a little bit more, because

00:29:40 ◼   ► at least for me, I have had some time now to

00:29:46 ◼   ► Assess my usage based on the facts that I have. Uh-huh because previously we didn't really know what they were gonna do

00:29:54 ◼   ► Right. Are they gonna go all Bluetooth? Are they gonna be lightning? Is there gonna be an adapter?

00:29:59 ◼   ► We didn't know any of this right sure, but now I know the realities. So I just took a trip and

00:30:04 ◼   ► My trip days are very long because of all the travel that I need to do like I

00:30:12 ◼   ► I'm awake and

00:30:15 ◼   ► traveling when I come to the US five hours before I got on my plane.

00:30:19 ◼   ► Those five hours include lots of phone time, listening to podcasts while I'm

00:30:24 ◼   ► traveling, checking documents, reading Twitter like I'm traveling with it.

00:30:28 ◼   ► So I arrived at the airport, got on the plane, sat down on the plane.

00:30:33 ◼   ► We took off and I had 17% battery life on my phone in power saving mode.

00:30:39 ◼   ► So like, OK.

00:30:41 ◼   ► And I was listening to ATP.

00:30:44 ◼   ► atp was three and a half hours long yep so I wasn't gonna get through that I only have

00:30:48 ◼   ► podcast downloaded on my phone right this is just how it was, this is how I've been

00:30:52 ◼   ► and I was listening with my headphones my my flight headphones I have some like Bose

00:30:57 ◼   ► headphones that I use and I grabbed a lightning cable plugged it into the power in the seat

00:31:03 ◼   ► plugged into my phone continued on my trip the next trip that I do with the exact same

00:31:12 ◼   ► hardware that I have now with no changes I can't do this my phone would have died

00:31:17 ◼   ► listening to that show or I had to stop listening and wait for my phone to

00:31:21 ◼   ► charge. This is just a thing. Just take an iPod with you. Please don't. But

00:31:27 ◼   ► that's the idea right there are there are and this is the thing the way around

00:31:31 ◼   ► this is there's gonna need to be changes that I make but it was just interesting

00:31:36 ◼   ► to me to finally really come across something that was an issue for me

00:31:41 ◼   ► Because I travel a lot and whenever I travel it's 20 hours of travel by the time I've reached

00:31:49 ◼   ► my destination.

00:31:51 ◼   ► My iPhone's not lasting that.

00:31:53 ◼   ► And it was just an interesting thing for me to think, okay, so now I have established

00:31:59 ◼   ► an area which needs to change.

00:32:02 ◼   ► So there are a bunch of different things that I can do.

00:32:04 ◼   ► I can go to Bluetooth now.

00:32:06 ◼   ► Get new headphones.

00:32:08 ◼   ► I can get new headphones.

00:32:10 ◼   ► I can use adapters.

00:32:12 ◼   ► There's this new crazy Belkin thing,

00:32:14 ◼   ► which has two lightning adapters, right?

00:32:16 ◼   ► The lightning splitter, so I could charge and listen.

00:32:19 ◼   ► There are a lot of different things I can do,

00:32:21 ◼   ► but for me it was more, ah, there is change needed.

00:32:25 ◼   ► And that's the thing that's interesting about this,

00:32:27 ◼   ► and I think it's the reason that people are upset,

00:32:29 ◼   ► is because this has been the way

00:32:33 ◼   ► that we've done it for 10 years,

00:32:35 ◼   ► and now we need to think differently, ding.

00:32:39 ◼   ► - So to speak. - So to speak,

00:32:40 ◼   ► about how we do these things.

00:32:42 ◼   ► So there's a couple of things I'm gonna put in the show notes.

00:32:44 ◼   ► One is to that Belkin thing.

00:32:46 ◼   ► And again, this is the other part.

00:32:47 ◼   ► No matter what I do here, it's more money.

00:32:50 ◼   ► It's costing me more money.

00:32:51 ◼   ► This Belkin adapter is 40 bucks.

00:32:52 ◼   ► - Yeah, Belkin adapter is two Lightnings.

00:32:54 ◼   ► I'm hoping that somebody will make one

00:32:56 ◼   ► that is a Lightning and a Mini Jack,

00:32:58 ◼   ► where it's like you charge, it passes through the charge

00:33:02 ◼   ► and it's taking analog audio out.

00:33:04 ◼   ► But that one, I don't think we've seen.

00:33:07 ◼   ► - I haven't seen anything now.

00:33:08 ◼   ► - 'Cause I saw this--

00:33:09 ◼   ► - It's what the Apple doc does, right?

00:33:11 ◼   ► The iPhone doc does.

00:33:12 ◼   ► - Carry it around in a doc all day.

00:33:14 ◼   ► Get your air tray in the airplane, open it up.

00:33:18 ◼   ► iPhone doc, iPhone.

00:33:20 ◼   ► Be very formal, be nice.

00:33:21 ◼   ► - Yeah, no, I wrote about this on Twitter.

00:33:24 ◼   ► A couple of weekends ago, I was in,

00:33:27 ◼   ► or no, last weekend, I was,

00:33:29 ◼   ► we took a family trip up into the mountains

00:33:31 ◼   ► and I was, we were GPS navigating.

00:33:35 ◼   ► And so that uses a lot of batteries.

00:33:36 ◼   ► So I had my phone plugged in and we were also listening.

00:33:39 ◼   ► to audio and my, it's the car my wife usually drives.

00:33:44 ◼   ► So her phone's in the car,

00:33:45 ◼   ► she's the one who's paired to Bluetooth,

00:33:47 ◼   ► I'm not paired to the Bluetooth.

00:33:48 ◼   ► And, but there's an aux plug.

00:33:51 ◼   ► And so I was using the aux out,

00:33:53 ◼   ► the analog headphone jack and charging simultaneously.

00:33:57 ◼   ► And I thought, well, I'm not gonna be able to do this

00:33:59 ◼   ► on the next iPhone.

00:34:00 ◼   ► I'm gonna have to make some changes there.

00:34:02 ◼   ► Which is not an argument.

00:34:04 ◼   ► - Change happens.

00:34:05 ◼   ► - Yeah, it's not an argument that,

00:34:06 ◼   ► oh, this means Apple shouldn't have done this.

00:34:08 ◼   ► - No, I'm past this now. - Right?

00:34:10 ◼   ► But it is thinking about how does this change affect me

00:34:15 ◼   ► and what's my strategy going to be

00:34:17 ◼   ► to deal with this change that has come upon me?

00:34:20 ◼   ► What am I gonna do differently?

00:34:21 ◼   ► What am I gonna have to buy?

00:34:23 ◼   ► New headphones, new adapters,

00:34:25 ◼   ► what are the changes going to be?

00:34:27 ◼   ► - Like I'm used to this now.

00:34:28 ◼   ► Controlled leaks work, right?

00:34:30 ◼   ► Like I've come to accept this as a thing.

00:34:32 ◼   ► - Although you saw me write the story

00:34:34 ◼   ► about the stages of grief when we were in Tennessee.

00:34:36 ◼   ► It's I'm at acceptance.

00:34:37 ◼   ► We've all reached acceptance.

00:34:39 ◼   ► There's still some angry people out there,

00:34:41 ◼   ► but I've reached acceptance.

00:34:42 ◼   ► - And I don't even think that like,

00:34:44 ◼   ► I'm not really upset about this anymore.

00:34:47 ◼   ► It's like.

00:34:49 ◼   ► - It's like a fact of nature.

00:34:50 ◼   ► - Yeah, do what you gotta do.

00:34:51 ◼   ► - It's like this is what happened.

00:34:52 ◼   ► - Yeah.

00:34:53 ◼   ► - We can argue about whether they should have done it or not,

00:34:54 ◼   ► but I feel like we spent the last eight months

00:34:56 ◼   ► arguing about this.

00:34:57 ◼   ► And now we're at just the point where it's one of the facts

00:35:00 ◼   ► on the ground is there's no headphone jack in the new iPhone.

00:35:03 ◼   ► So what you gonna do?

00:35:05 ◼   ► So one of the things that I saw this go by on Twitter,

00:35:07 ◼   ► it really made me laugh, and I'm gonna put in the show notes.

00:35:10 ◼   ► It's kind of a jokey image tweet,

00:35:14 ◼   ► but it makes a lot of sense, right?

00:35:17 ◼   ► As a lady called Alana Levinson,

00:35:19 ◼   ► she tweeted an image of how you would listen

00:35:23 ◼   ► in my scenario with my existing headphones and charge.

00:35:28 ◼   ► You would need to plug the Belkin charger in.

00:35:31 ◼   ► You would then plug a power cable

00:35:33 ◼   ► into one of the lightning cables of the Belkin charger,

00:35:36 ◼   ► you would then plug in the 3.5 to lightning adapter

00:35:40 ◼   ► and then your headphones into the 3.5 to lightning adapter.

00:35:42 ◼   ► - That's why I said there needs to be another adapter.

00:35:44 ◼   ► - There has to be something else.

00:35:45 ◼   ► But this was just really funny to me

00:35:47 ◼   ► because given the tools we have now, as of right today,

00:35:50 ◼   ► this is what you would do.

00:35:51 ◼   ► And there probably will be more tools.

00:35:53 ◼   ► 'Cause like originally when I hit this problem

00:35:56 ◼   ► on the flight here, Belkin hadn't even announced

00:35:58 ◼   ► this thing yet, so there was no option.

00:36:01 ◼   ► So basically the reason that I'm thinking about this

00:36:04 ◼   ► and we're talking about this is this app

00:36:07 ◼   ► always ahead of the curve.

00:36:09 ◼   ► The rest of the world, the rest of the technology

00:36:12 ◼   ► is not at this point yet.

00:36:14 ◼   ► So we're in a transition period

00:36:17 ◼   ► and transition periods are typically a little bit ugly

00:36:20 ◼   ► and it will mean adapters and protocols

00:36:23 ◼   ► and or new technology.

00:36:24 ◼   ► And the thing is there are solutions.

00:36:28 ◼   ► I don't see things, I don't have any wireless headphones.

00:36:30 ◼   ► like that I want to use.

00:36:31 ◼   ► I have this one little pair of Bluetooth ones

00:36:33 ◼   ► that don't last very long and they're fine,

00:36:35 ◼   ► but they're not the ones I want to use every single day.

00:36:38 ◼   ► So I have to think about this.

00:36:41 ◼   ► We all have to think about it.

00:36:41 ◼   ► What do you want to do?

00:36:42 ◼   ► Like usually I use ear pods.

00:36:44 ◼   ► I use ear pods the majority of the time.

00:36:46 ◼   ► I have them in my pocket all day when I'm out.

00:36:48 ◼   ► They're the ones that I listen to when I'm out and about.

00:36:50 ◼   ► They're great.

00:36:51 ◼   ► And I'm going to be able to continue doing that

00:36:52 ◼   ► because Apple are going to ship a pair of ear pods

00:36:54 ◼   ► that I can use.

00:36:56 ◼   ► Great.

00:36:57 ◼   ► But then there are little things

00:36:58 ◼   ► that when I need to charge it, what do you do?

00:36:59 ◼   ► And it's just about thinking about that now,

00:37:02 ◼   ► that this is where we are and we need to kind of accept that.

00:37:06 ◼   ► - I would argue a little bit with the ahead of the curve

00:37:10 ◼   ► idea, I've seen this a couple places and I don't know

00:37:13 ◼   ► if removing the headphone jack was so inevitable so soon.

00:37:18 ◼   ► - No, it's the curve that Apple has set for themselves.

00:37:22 ◼   ► - Right, they are defining that.

00:37:24 ◼   ► We're saying other--

00:37:25 ◼   ► - It's Apple's curve.

00:37:26 ◼   ► - Right, okay.

00:37:27 ◼   ► - We're just all on it.

00:37:28 ◼   ► - Right, but you know, I agree with you.

00:37:29 ◼   ► It is something else to think about and have to process,

00:37:34 ◼   ► but I think at the end of the day,

00:37:35 ◼   ► and I'm not in favor of the decision,

00:37:37 ◼   ► but I understand that it's the reality.

00:37:39 ◼   ► I can't argue with it.

00:37:40 ◼   ► I'm still gonna buy a phone, right?

00:37:41 ◼   ► Some people are saying they're not gonna buy a phone.

00:37:42 ◼   ► That's fine, it's your decision.

00:37:44 ◼   ► - But you're stuck now,

00:37:45 ◼   ► because they're not gonna put it back.

00:37:47 ◼   ► - Right, yeah, they're not putting it back.

00:37:48 ◼   ► But the reality is I think we'll end up with,

00:37:52 ◼   ► you know, most, it seems like every 12 months or so,

00:37:55 ◼   ► I have to buy another pair of ear pods

00:37:57 ◼   ► because they go through the dryer or I lose them.

00:38:00 ◼   ► And so I figured, you know,

00:38:01 ◼   ► I'll pick up another pair of lightning

00:38:02 ◼   ► and keep them in my gym bag

00:38:04 ◼   ► and keep the adapter in my travel bag

00:38:07 ◼   ► and it'll mostly be okay.

00:38:09 ◼   ► But--

00:38:09 ◼   ► - But here's the thing though about that.

00:38:12 ◼   ► The headphones that we're buying now

00:38:14 ◼   ► are on average more expensive

00:38:17 ◼   ► because they're gonna be stuff like Bluetooth, right?

00:38:19 ◼   ► Like infomercial cases. - Well, we don't know.

00:38:20 ◼   ► I mean, I'm just talking about the lightning earbuds.

00:38:22 ◼   ► - No, I know, I know.

00:38:23 ◼   ► - But I agree with you because,

00:38:24 ◼   ► I mean, and I got into it the other day

00:38:26 ◼   ► on Twitter with some people saying, like, the idea that Bluetooth is or isn't an open

00:38:31 ◼   ► standard and what Apple's doing is a super set kind of on top of Bluetooth, but to your

00:38:36 ◼   ► point they are more expensive and the cheap ones are way worse than cheap headphones are,

00:38:42 ◼   ► wired headphones are.

00:38:43 ◼   ► You can pick up a pair of wired headphones for $5 and they'd be absolutely fine. You

00:38:50 ◼   ► can't get a pair of $5 Bluetooth headphones.

00:38:52 ◼   ► Exactly.

00:38:53 ◼   ► If I'm going on a trip and I've forgotten my headphones and I go to the airport store

00:38:59 ◼   ► And I want to buy Bluetooth headphones

00:39:01 ◼   ► I'm like

00:39:04 ◼   ► 70 80 dollars if I'm lucky and you're still beats. Yeah. Well, I mean maybe

00:39:10 ◼   ► It's like, you know, we were talking about the affordable thing right like affordable 150 dollars affordable

00:39:17 ◼   ► Apple called those new Beats on stage. The affordable ones. And it's like affordable

00:39:22 ◼   ► for Beats, yes. But that's what you're paying for decent Bluetooth headphones.

00:39:28 ◼   ► There are $25 Bluetooth headphones. They're not very good. But they do exist. You also

00:39:33 ◼   ► have to wonder if eventually this will, there will be lightning headphones in all of those

00:39:38 ◼   ► kiosks at the airport because eventually because there will be enough iPhone people who don't

00:39:43 ◼   ► have a pair of headphones that they'll desperately need them.

00:39:45 ◼   ► See I don't know about this yet.

00:39:46 ◼   ► I think in the long run there will be just because there will be some demand for it

00:39:49 ◼   ► But in the short term in the short term you're gonna go there and you realize you forgot your headphones

00:39:53 ◼   ► And you're gonna go to the kiosk and there will literally be no wired headphones

00:39:57 ◼   ► You can buy because you don't have your adapter with you

00:39:59 ◼   ► And they don't they don't sell lightning headphones

00:40:02 ◼   ► And then now you're looking at do I pay a hundred and fifty dollars for a set of headphones here

00:40:06 ◼   ► Or do I just sit on my plane trip across the ocean without listening to podcasts or music thing is about the cheap headphones

00:40:13 ◼   ► I mean, I don't know enough about how the MFI program works

00:40:15 ◼   ► But, you know, what if there can't be really cheap headphones anymore because the MFI program

00:40:22 ◼   ► is too expensive?

00:40:23 ◼   ► Well, any Lightning headphones have to, since there's no analog out, it's all digital, Lightning

00:40:30 ◼   ► headphones have to have a DAC built into them, which means even if it's a cheap one, digital

00:40:34 ◼   ► analog converter, you know, it's like so much of the stuff with Lightning and with Thunderbolt

00:40:40 ◼   ► too, where these are intelligent connectors and there's hardware that you have to build

00:40:45 ◼   ► into them. So they can't be really cheap and crappy. And if they are cheap and crappy,

00:40:51 ◼   ► they're going to be extra cheap and crappy because they are now, if they're in there

00:40:59 ◼   ► with a really bad DAC, then they're going to sound bad. Because it used to be you plug

00:41:03 ◼   ► in cheap headphones, but at least the high quality audio converter in the iPhone is driving

00:41:08 ◼   ► them. But that won't be the case now.

00:41:10 ◼   ► So this is the thing, right? I'm past judgment stage. I don't think this is a good idea or

00:41:17 ◼   ► a bad idea. Like this is just what they're doing. I'm reserving judgment for actually

00:41:24 ◼   ► living in this world.

00:41:25 ◼   ► Yeah, yeah. What does it mean? And what are the ramifications of it, right? You turn around,

00:41:30 ◼   ► you live your life as you've been doing in traveling. You live your life and then you

00:41:33 ◼   ► realize, oh, here's something that's going to change in the near future.

00:41:38 ◼   ► But it might be okay.

00:41:40 ◼   ► In the end it will be okay eventually.

00:41:42 ◼   ► Yeah, but I don't know what it's going to look like yet.

00:41:46 ◼   ► We should talk about what Apple considers the solution a little bit more, which is AirPods.

00:41:52 ◼   ► Before we do that, let me take a moment to thank Hover for sponsoring this week's episode.

00:41:56 ◼   ► You have a great idea for your next project.

00:41:59 ◼   ► Maybe you want to start the one-stop shop for Bluetooth headphones and you want to create

00:42:03 ◼   ► your Bluetooth headphone website.

00:42:05 ◼   ► You're going to need a great domain name.

00:42:08 ◼   ► that perfect domain name is ridiculously easy with hover. For example, what about having

00:42:16 ◼   ► no upsells and who is privacy? When all you want to do is buy a domain name or an email

00:42:20 ◼   ► address, you don't want to have to opt out of page after page of add-ons and things that

00:42:26 ◼   ► you don't want. You just want the thing that you're going there for. That lovely domain

00:42:31 ◼   ► name or that email address that you're looking for so you're able to just focus on getting

00:42:35 ◼   ► to the next stage which is working on that great idea.

00:42:39 ◼   ► And I mentioned who is privacy a second ago.

00:42:42 ◼   ► This is something that a lot of places will try and upsell you on, right?

00:42:46 ◼   ► They're trying to make you pay them to hide your personal information.

00:42:50 ◼   ► Most people don't know this, so when you register a domain name,

00:42:53 ◼   ► your email address, phone number, home address is available online

00:42:57 ◼   ► unless you have who is privacy in place.

00:43:01 ◼   ► So you might go to another registrar and they're going to make you pay for that.

00:43:04 ◼   ► going to have to pay for it because who wants their home address out on the internet? Well,

00:43:08 ◼   ► unlike any of these other providers, Hover includes free Whois privacy of all supported

00:43:13 ◼   ► domains and they check it automatically because they want to keep your information confidential.

00:43:21 ◼   ► This is one of the things I love about Hover, I don't even need to think about it. Find

00:43:25 ◼   ► the perfect domain for your idea, go to hover.com and use the promo code NEWIFONETECHEKOUT

00:43:31 ◼   ► to get 10% off your first purchase.

00:43:34 ◼   ► Thank you so much to Hobba for their support of this show

00:43:37 ◼   ► and Relay FM.

00:43:38 ◼   ► Now Jason, I know that you wrote a little piece

00:43:42 ◼   ► on Six Colors talking about your experience with AirPods

00:43:47 ◼   ► in a little bit more detail.

00:43:50 ◼   ► - Yeah, I realized that what I wanted to do

00:43:51 ◼   ► was talk a little bit more about the hands-on experience

00:43:54 ◼   ► because that's one of those things

00:43:55 ◼   ► where if you were in the room, you got to use them.

00:43:59 ◼   ► And I thought that as much as I have complained about things like the headphone jack and if

00:44:04 ◼   ► it was really necessary to remove it, and I'm not a big fan, unlike you who carries

00:44:09 ◼   ► them around with you, and you apparently carry them around, I don't really like ear pods.

00:44:12 ◼   ► They work fine for me.

00:44:13 ◼   ► They, well this thing, they work fine for most people.

00:44:16 ◼   ► By far...

00:44:17 ◼   ► Do you remember all the ears they tested?

00:44:21 ◼   ► I have nightmares about all that.

00:44:24 ◼   ► This is what people do with their iPhone, right?

00:44:26 ◼   ► They get headphones in the box and they use them and that's basically, I would guess it's

00:44:30 ◼   ► something like 95% of iPhone users just use the headphones in the box.

00:44:35 ◼   ► It's not our listeners.

00:44:36 ◼   ► Our listeners is probably a much smaller percentage than that, but we're the nerds in the group

00:44:42 ◼   ► here.

00:44:43 ◼   ► Most people just use what's in the box.

00:44:45 ◼   ► I don't love them though.

00:44:47 ◼   ► But what I did love, what I did really, I was impressed, I mentioned it to you last

00:44:51 ◼   ► week is some of the details of how the AirPods work and that Apple did a very good job building

00:44:59 ◼   ► in the technology and being very careful with it.

00:45:01 ◼   ► And so I wanted to describe what they had to offer because not a lot of people have

00:45:05 ◼   ► had a chance to use the net.

00:45:06 ◼   ► And I can't talk about how they sound because it was a really loud room and there's just

00:45:10 ◼   ► no way for me to really tell.

00:45:12 ◼   ► But at least I got to experience some of the thoughtfulness that Apple put into this product.

00:45:16 ◼   ► Now the product's not for everyone.

00:45:17 ◼   ► In fact, it's going to be for a tiny fraction of Apple.

00:45:20 ◼   ► buyers themselves because like we said most people are just going to use the lightning

00:45:24 ◼   ► the lightning ear pods but I do think there's going to be a nice number of people who are

00:45:30 ◼   ► going to get these and I think be happy with them based on the fact that people seem to

00:45:34 ◼   ► like the ear pod design to begin with and that they have been very thoughtful with how

00:45:41 ◼   ► they've applied a lot of different technology and connected it to their software so that's

00:45:46 ◼   ► what my story was about.

00:45:49 ◼   ► So looking at these, I just have some kind of observations from the photos on what I've

00:45:53 ◼   ► taken a look at.

00:45:54 ◼   ► Like, one thing is that the case is really small looking.

00:45:58 ◼   ► The case that you keep the things in.

00:45:59 ◼   ► It's like floss.

00:46:00 ◼   ► It's like a little case for floss.

00:46:02 ◼   ► It was really hard to see that until I saw a lot of the hands-on photos.

00:46:05 ◼   ► Because, you know, in the images it's as big as a house.

00:46:08 ◼   ► They're just floating in a white room, you can tell.

00:46:09 ◼   ► It's just a giant box with giant earbuds in them.

00:46:13 ◼   ► And you know, it's clever, but it lasts for five hours, which is good, and then you can

00:46:16 ◼   ► get another 24 hours of charge.

00:46:18 ◼   ► And something I didn't know to I read your article is it takes just 15 minutes to get three hours of battery life

00:46:22 ◼   ► which is I

00:46:25 ◼   ► Was asking for that rather quick charge mechanism and I mean ideally what I wanted to see was something

00:46:30 ◼   ► I just plug straight into my phone rice and may have been just plug into the phone and it charges them

00:46:34 ◼   ► But this is a good thing right my battery dies and my case is already in my pocket

00:46:39 ◼   ► All I need to do is pocket in there for 15 minutes, and I've got another three hours of battery life. That's great

00:46:44 ◼   ► That's the type of thing that I'm looking for

00:46:46 ◼   ► But one of the things I find really weird in a way is like the way that you control the earpods

00:46:52 ◼   ► Yeah, so because they have no clicker right? There's no there's no cord to have a clicker on it. So there's no clicker and

00:46:58 ◼   ► I think that

00:47:01 ◼   ► I'm sure they tried every possible mechanism of controlling these things, but the fact that I can only

00:47:08 ◼   ► Like turn up volume and skip track and if I don't want to take them out my ears pause them

00:47:15 ◼   ► by talking to Siri is

00:47:17 ◼   ► No good. Yeah, it's that's their compromise right? I was wondering if they would have sort of

00:47:25 ◼   ► Double tap to do this triple tap to do this

00:47:29 ◼   ► Sort of like gestures or done spin around in the circle to shuffle double tap on your right ear pull your left ear

00:47:37 ◼   ► You know if you had like all of the Siri stuff in one and all of the playback controls in the other

00:47:43 ◼   ► It's not maybe the most elegant, but maybe I'm really talk about it like say you can do it with Siri

00:47:48 ◼   ► You know what? This reminds me of I'm a little shuffle. I know the buttonless

00:47:52 ◼   ► Shuffle. Yeah, that's they've just they just can't let that go right like here. We are back again

00:47:56 ◼   ► the problem is

00:47:59 ◼   ► For so many people you're commuting. Yeah, that's all we're gonna do. You want to turn your music up bleep. Hey, sorry

00:48:06 ◼   ► I'm sorry everybody

00:48:08 ◼   ► Please turn up

00:48:10 ◼   ► The music yeah, like that's really a tab turn up the music. It's I think that louder

00:48:16 ◼   ► Yeah, everyone's gonna be standing there talking to themselves now

00:48:19 ◼   ► Again, this isn't that one of those things right? I'm so used to the way that I've been doing it

00:48:24 ◼   ► Yeah, I use my little clicker turn it up and down, but there are other options

00:48:28 ◼   ► Yeah, one thing I always I always did especially when I was commuting I for a long time

00:48:32 ◼   ► I had because I had some really good headphones

00:48:35 ◼   ► but they didn't have the microphone and remote control on it and

00:48:38 ◼   ► And what I would do is I got really good at reaching in, I'm doing it now,

00:48:42 ◼   ► reaching in on the outside of my jeans, I can feel the iPhone in my pocket

00:48:48 ◼   ► and I can feel the volume buttons and I just squeeze in my pocket to make the volume go up and down.

00:48:53 ◼   ► And it totally worked. So you could do that, you could take your phone out.

00:48:57 ◼   ► If you've got an Apple Watch, maybe you use the Apple Watch to change the volume.

00:49:02 ◼   ► When I'm running, I do that. I will actually open the, well, in WatchOS 2,

00:49:06 ◼   ► you could flip up the little control center and now in watchOS 3 you have to have an app

00:49:11 ◼   ► that you open but which is a complaint I have about watchOS 3.

00:49:14 ◼   ► Is that a now playing app or is that just gone away?

00:49:16 ◼   ► Yeah well I think there's a music app but the problem is if you're playing a podcast

00:49:20 ◼   ► you can't use the music app for the podcast you could use the overcast app or something.

00:49:23 ◼   ► So they've taken away what I thought was my solution which was just using control center

00:49:27 ◼   ► and the watch.

00:49:28 ◼   ► Yeah I filed a radar saying that music app needs to actually be a now playing app and

00:49:34 ◼   ► they said it's a dupe so apparently people have complained.

00:49:36 ◼   ► You know what, you're a dupe.

00:49:37 ◼   ► Yeah, that's right.

00:49:38 ◼   ► Dupe this.

00:49:39 ◼   ► But anyway, you could do that, right?

00:49:41 ◼   ► And play, pause, skip, change volume on your Apple watch.

00:49:45 ◼   ► Or you could do it through Siri or you could do it by taking your phone out of your pocket

00:49:49 ◼   ► or even just squeezing your phone in.

00:49:51 ◼   ► I mean, I know that one way that you can pause these things, which is smart, is by taking

00:49:55 ◼   ► one of the earphones out of your ear.

00:49:57 ◼   ► But that isn't what I always want to do.

00:49:59 ◼   ► Right, you may actually want to pause because you're busy with something and you don't want

00:50:03 ◼   ► to miss what the podcast is talking about.

00:50:05 ◼   ► - Like I'm on the train and I wanna see,

00:50:08 ◼   ► like listen to the announcement that the guy's got

00:50:11 ◼   ► going over the Tanay, I just wanna pause it.

00:50:13 ◼   ► Like I don't have to take it out of my ear.

00:50:15 ◼   ► And I think it's cool, like that's cool technology.

00:50:18 ◼   ► I mean it makes a nice demo.

00:50:19 ◼   ► - And it's a, well I think it's an interesting gesture too.

00:50:21 ◼   ► The idea that if somebody's talking to you

00:50:22 ◼   ► or there's something you need to hear,

00:50:24 ◼   ► if you take one out, you can hear it better

00:50:26 ◼   ► and it pauses the music and then you pop it back in

00:50:28 ◼   ► and it starts again.

00:50:29 ◼   ► - I like that, I think it's really smart, right?

00:50:31 ◼   ► But there's there's there's more that I want here.

00:50:35 ◼   ► Right. But this is another exactly thing I'm going back to from earlier.

00:50:38 ◼   ► This is I just have to find a new way.

00:50:41 ◼   ► Like I'm ingrained in my ways of dealing with this stuff.

00:50:45 ◼   ► Now there are new ways.

00:50:46 ◼   ► Like I remember I was using some beats for a while and my cable broke

00:50:50 ◼   ► and the cable that I had had the playback controls on them. Right.

00:50:53 ◼   ► So I had to get a new cable and I got the cable sent

00:50:56 ◼   ► and they sent me on without the playback controls.

00:50:58 ◼   ► So for a few months I was using headphones with just the cable and I got used to it.

00:51:03 ◼   ► Sure.

00:51:04 ◼   ► Because you just do.

00:51:05 ◼   ► I mean, so.

00:51:06 ◼   ► You find a way to make it work.

00:51:07 ◼   ► Exactly.

00:51:08 ◼   ► You squeeze the phone when it's in your pocket.

00:51:09 ◼   ► Check it out on my phone to pause it.

00:51:10 ◼   ► Like, you know, that was just the things that I would do, how I would do with it.

00:51:14 ◼   ► And so it's the same kind of idea.

00:51:16 ◼   ► But I actually, I was, the more I've read and the more I thought about these AirPods,

00:51:20 ◼   ► I want to get a pair to play with them because I think they could be really cool.

00:51:25 ◼   ► and I love this one little thing that you mentioned,

00:51:27 ◼   ► which is like the Apple magic.

00:51:29 ◼   ► If you've got audio playing on an iPhone

00:51:31 ◼   ► and then you pop in an AirPod into one ear,

00:51:33 ◼   ► the iPhone automatically switches the audio input

00:51:36 ◼   ► to that AirPod in mono.

00:51:38 ◼   ► - Yeah.

00:51:39 ◼   ► - Put an AirPod in the other ear

00:51:41 ◼   ► and now you're hearing everything in stereo.

00:51:42 ◼   ► - Yeah.

00:51:43 ◼   ► - That's awesome.

00:51:44 ◼   ► - And when you take them both out,

00:51:46 ◼   ► it starts, basically the audio output goes back to the phone

00:51:51 ◼   ► so you don't have to do what most Bluetooth headphones,

00:51:53 ◼   ► you have to turn them off.

00:51:54 ◼   ► You just take them out and it knows you're not listening to them anymore clarification on that. Yeah, so I take them both out

00:51:59 ◼   ► Does the music automatically start playing? I don't think so

00:52:02 ◼   ► I think it I think it you you're back with a play button

00:52:05 ◼   ► But I press play it plays it out of the phone speakers. Yeah, so this is the thing

00:52:09 ◼   ► I want to try these because they have some things that aren't so great like some things that I consider a step back like

00:52:15 ◼   ► Poor access to playback controls. Yeah, but they have some things that are significant step forwards

00:52:21 ◼   ► which is like the understanding of the context

00:52:24 ◼   ► of where and how I'm listening to something.

00:52:27 ◼   ► Like very frequently, when I'm getting ready

00:52:29 ◼   ► to leave the house, I will start playing a podcast

00:52:32 ◼   ► on a speaker and I will then plug my earphones in

00:52:36 ◼   ► and keep listening as I leave.

00:52:38 ◼   ► But wouldn't it be great if all I did

00:52:40 ◼   ► was just put my earphones in and I don't have to,

00:52:42 ◼   ► like it's just a more fluid type of thing, right?

00:52:45 ◼   ► Where I'm not actually plugging anything in,

00:52:47 ◼   ► all I'm doing is putting them in my ears.

00:52:49 ◼   ► That is the kind of like devices working together

00:52:53 ◼   ► that Apple does so well.

00:52:55 ◼   ► So I'm interested to see where they go.

00:52:56 ◼   ► Personally, AirPods 2, I think will have

00:52:59 ◼   ► a different mechanism for playback controls.

00:53:01 ◼   ► - Yeah, I wonder-- - I think they will do it.

00:53:03 ◼   ► - I actually wonder, and we had a listener, Dale,

00:53:05 ◼   ► wrote in and asked if they're capable of a software update

00:53:08 ◼   ► for adding features later.

00:53:09 ◼   ► I don't know, I imagine they probably have some firmware

00:53:12 ◼   ► that could get updated, although I suspect

00:53:14 ◼   ► that most of the support changes,

00:53:16 ◼   ► Like could Apple TV have that same sort of iCloud sync pairing thing that you have with

00:53:22 ◼   ► Max and I think it's quite possible that it might down the road.

00:53:27 ◼   ► But this is an example where I do wonder if maybe the AirPods could even be updated for

00:53:34 ◼   ► things like this.

00:53:35 ◼   ► Like we added a triple tap gesture because people really wanted a triple tap to mean

00:53:38 ◼   ► whatever.

00:53:39 ◼   ► Because it's an accelerometer in there or a couple accelerometers.

00:53:43 ◼   ► They could add gestures.

00:53:45 ◼   ► They could, you know, the gestures are never going to be what we think of as, you know,

00:53:48 ◼   ► it's not going to be swiping or anything, but they can tell when you're tapping on them

00:53:51 ◼   ► and when you take them in and out of your ears.

00:53:53 ◼   ► So there may be some ways for them to learn or they'll spend a year or two with this hardware

00:53:59 ◼   ► and then they'll see how their customers are using it and what the complaints are and make

00:54:03 ◼   ► changes that way too, which may happen.

00:54:05 ◼   ► Because you're right, the problem is where do you put that?

00:54:09 ◼   ► I think the idea of having it be just doing a little tap is super smart.

00:54:15 ◼   ► Because you don't have a thing dangling down that you can click on, so you've got to find

00:54:19 ◼   ► other ways to do it, but right now the fact that there's only one gesture, and it's the

00:54:24 ◼   ► double tap, which will answer your phone if you get a phone call, and it will kick off

00:54:27 ◼   ► Siri if you don't.

00:54:29 ◼   ► And that's the only one right now.

00:54:30 ◼   ► It feels like to me that the hardware isn't capable of anything more.

00:54:34 ◼   ► It may be.

00:54:35 ◼   ► It may be.

00:54:36 ◼   ► Because it's a weird choice to make, I think.

00:54:38 ◼   ► I don't know, I think the problem is that you could triple tap doesn't necessarily mean like,

00:54:44 ◼   ► it's not necessarily a bad idea, but you're not going to do a quadruple tap,

00:54:48 ◼   ► so what do you make the triple tap mean? Is that forward? Is that back?

00:54:53 ◼   ► Maybe taps don't work, maybe they only have a couple of things, like maybe volume up and down,

00:54:58 ◼   ► just find a way to do with it, but things like playing and skipping,

00:55:03 ◼   ► like we're used to clicking with these things, there are things they could do,

00:55:07 ◼   ► It just seems really strange to me to ask Siri to do this stuff.

00:55:11 ◼   ► Yeah, I mean the alternative is something like putting buttons on them.

00:55:14 ◼   ► Yeah.

00:55:16 ◼   ► And that's not great, but...

00:55:18 ◼   ► They're too small for it.

00:55:20 ◼   ► It would be uncomfortable.

00:55:20 ◼   ► So just say, "I want to try them. I'm gonna get them."

00:55:23 ◼   ► They're coming in October, right?

00:55:25 ◼   ► Like, another issue with production.

00:55:27 ◼   ► They couldn't get these things made in time, I assume.

00:55:29 ◼   ► Too busy making iPhones.

00:55:30 ◼   ► Maybe some FCC filings they didn't want to file until, you know, so they didn't get leaked.

00:55:34 ◼   ► I don't know but they're coming later. I'm looking forward to trying them out. Not cheap

00:55:39 ◼   ► Talk about looking forward this week. It's coming week

00:55:43 ◼   ► IOS 10 is gonna be released and I want to just touch on very quickly a few things that we're excited about now. I

00:55:49 ◼   ► Primarily am excited to have iOS 10 on my phone. I have not put iOS 10 any of the betas on my iPhone

00:55:56 ◼   ► I have iOS 10 running on my iPads, but not on my phone a

00:55:59 ◼   ► Couple of reasons first bunch of travel

00:56:01 ◼   ► I just wanted to make sure I was gonna have

00:56:03 ◼   ► the most stable phone that I could have

00:56:04 ◼   ► during the travel that I've been doing this summer.

00:56:06 ◼   ► And also, I kinda wanted to experience it

00:56:11 ◼   ► when it was done with all of the apps.

00:56:14 ◼   ► Because like on my iPad, there are a bunch of apps

00:56:16 ◼   ► that just do weird things.

00:56:17 ◼   ► Like the widgets look weird, right?

00:56:19 ◼   ► Because they're not formatted in the right way.

00:56:21 ◼   ► So I wanted to see what all that was gonna look like

00:56:23 ◼   ► on the iPhone, you know, the primary device for this stuff.

00:56:26 ◼   ► So I was been waiting to see a little bit.

00:56:28 ◼   ► But I'm looking forward to Sticker Pack being released.

00:56:31 ◼   ► I've played with a couple and the ones that I've played with are awesome.

00:56:34 ◼   ► Uh, people that I know that are on betas have been sending me stickers and they

00:56:37 ◼   ► look fantastic. I can't wait to try out more of this stuff. Uh,

00:56:41 ◼   ► the interactive notifications and all the 3d touch stuff.

00:56:44 ◼   ► I've not tried any of that, right? Because I'm on an iPad.

00:56:47 ◼   ► So I'm looking forward to seeing what these things are like. And I've, I, again,

00:56:50 ◼   ► I've played with a couple of betas of iMessage apps and there is some really,

00:56:54 ◼   ► really interesting stuff.

00:56:56 ◼   ► The iMessage apps are something that I didn't think I'd be particularly

00:57:00 ◼   ► interested in but what it really it really changes the way that I think about sharing stuff with messages so before

00:57:07 ◼   ► messages was just a

00:57:10 ◼   ► Sort of a dumping ground for the share sheet, so I'm in an app

00:57:13 ◼   ► I'm in tweet botters far your evercast I want to send you something

00:57:16 ◼   ► I go to the share sheet select messages select your name and send it we're

00:57:20 ◼   ► with the apps it feels like I can be within

00:57:26 ◼   ► messages and we can be having a conversation and instead of

00:57:28 ◼   ► Going to an app and pushing content into messages. I can pull it in from these various sources into our conversation and

00:57:36 ◼   ► What that has led to is already in the beta just with friends on the beta

00:57:40 ◼   ► sharing more

00:57:43 ◼   ► Stuff and messages than I would have so the example. I think I told somebody earlier in person was

00:57:48 ◼   ► Gifts as I use an app called gift wrapped keeps like a Dropbox library of gifts on my phone

00:57:53 ◼   ► I used to have to go to the app, find the GIF of whatever I wanted to send to Myke,

00:57:58 ◼   ► and then share it out to you.

00:58:01 ◼   ► Well, if that app had an iMessage app, I could pull it in into our conversation.

00:58:07 ◼   ► That makes sharing faster, and it makes me more likely to add things to our messages,

00:58:14 ◼   ► to enrich them.

00:58:15 ◼   ► So that was a surprise to me.

00:58:16 ◼   ► I kind of rolled my eyes at a lot of the messages stuff.

00:58:18 ◼   ► Many people did.

00:58:19 ◼   ► There's still a lot of stuff in there that I don't care for, but the apps, I think, are

00:58:23 ◼   ► going to be a really interesting place.

00:58:26 ◼   ► You know, unlike iOS 9, you know, with the iPad, multitasking and apps

00:58:31 ◼   ► works basically the same in all of them, but iOS 10, there's so many things that

00:58:36 ◼   ► developers can implement in different ways.

00:58:39 ◼   ► So a developer could do stickers or they could do a fuller iMessage app, or they

00:58:43 ◼   ► could do new fancy things with notifications.

00:58:47 ◼   ► And so I'm excited to see what developers do to improve their apps.

00:58:52 ◼   ► and the space that they work in

00:58:55 ◼   ► through these different tools.

00:58:56 ◼   ► And I think we're gonna see a wide variety of stuff.

00:58:58 ◼   ► And I think that'll be exciting.

00:59:00 ◼   ► - What about you, Jason?

00:59:02 ◼   ► - Well, I have been living with it for a while now.

00:59:04 ◼   ► So I have to keep on searching back through my mind

00:59:08 ◼   ► of like, well, what's new?

00:59:10 ◼   ► Like as somebody who uses the iPad to do writing,

00:59:12 ◼   ► I'm still just the only iPad feature really,

00:59:15 ◼   ► but I love it is that I can turn off auto-correct

00:59:18 ◼   ► for all my hardware keyboards.

00:59:20 ◼   ► so it stops trying to rewrite all my words.

00:59:24 ◼   ► - Like I'm also excited for watchOS 3,

00:59:26 ◼   ► like I haven't tried that at all either.

00:59:28 ◼   ► - And it's great, yeah, I'm very happy with that.

00:59:31 ◼   ► I'm looking forward to having the apps

00:59:33 ◼   ► that are built to the watchOS 3 SDK

00:59:35 ◼   ► because those are the ones that are gonna be able

00:59:36 ◼   ► to stay in the foreground if they're fitness apps

00:59:39 ◼   ► and they're going to be much more useful

00:59:43 ◼   ► than the existing ones, so I'm looking forward to that.

00:59:45 ◼   ► The revamped notification center

00:59:47 ◼   ► has a lot of things going for it.

00:59:49 ◼   ► So, that's nice, the messages stuff is really good.

00:59:54 ◼   ► There's a lot of nice stuff in iOS 10, it's just funny because I've been living with it

00:59:57 ◼   ► over the summer, so now for me it's normal, that's what the iPhone is, but everybody else

01:00:02 ◼   ► gets to use it.

01:00:03 ◼   ► Yeah, I'm pretty happy with my decision to not upgrade my phone.

01:00:06 ◼   ► Because I've played around with some iOS 10 stuff, but now I'll get to experience it.

01:00:11 ◼   ► Yes.

01:00:12 ◼   ► As it should be.

01:00:13 ◼   ► Yeah.

01:00:14 ◼   ► I think that's the way to do it.

01:00:15 ◼   ► I think it was the right move for me.

01:00:16 ◼   ► I'd say it's a pretty gentle update though, and I feel this way about Sierra too.

01:00:20 ◼   ► I agree with that, but I think it's because it's calm before the storm.

01:00:24 ◼   ► A lot of the stuff that is in there,

01:00:27 ◼   ► we can't really play around with too much because the apps aren't out.

01:00:31 ◼   ► It's true. Something like the Messages apps, it's going to be a big difference.

01:00:34 ◼   ► Siri stuff, maps, things,

01:00:37 ◼   ► all the little things that Apple have added for developers,

01:00:40 ◼   ► that's all going to start coming on Tuesday. Exactly.

01:00:43 ◼   ► I like those kind of updates personally.

01:00:45 ◼   ► When they've given tools to developers to go out and make new and exciting things.

01:00:51 ◼   ► I love the line, it's an off-use phrase, but I really like it.

01:00:55 ◼   ► It's like, imagine the things developers could do with this.

01:00:58 ◼   ► We can't even imagine the types of things that we might see.

01:01:01 ◼   ► And honestly, I've been that way with some of the stuff that I've seen

01:01:05 ◼   ► with the iMessage apps that I've played with and see if I've ever played with.

01:01:08 ◼   ► So I'm really excited for it.

01:01:09 ◼   ► Just sent a bunch of stuff to Steven like I sent some stickers and I and some some animated gifs and some stuff from apps

01:01:16 ◼   ► I'm gonna make was her

01:01:18 ◼   ► Jeff's I don't know what you talk about. Oh, yeah, it's these animations. They're like JPEGs except it's pronounced Jeff

01:01:23 ◼   ► Oh, this is the JPEG version. It's like a gif but like a JPEG, but it doesn't know which is why it's soft

01:01:27 ◼   ► It's not like I don't know what a gif is that kind of giraffe?

01:01:30 ◼   ► Gir, giraffe send your feedback to at Casey lists. Yes, see as you I'll ISS

01:01:38 ◼   ► That's Casey-less.

01:01:40 ◼   ► This episode is brought to you by the Ring Video Doorbell.

01:01:44 ◼   ► With Ring, you are able to see and talk to anyone who approaches your door, no matter

01:01:48 ◼   ► where you are in the world, using the app on your smartphone.

01:01:52 ◼   ► Protect your home and loved ones today by going to ring.com/upgrade and for a limited

01:01:57 ◼   ► time get up to $150 off their Ring of Security Kit.

01:02:03 ◼   ► Look, there are home burglaries every 13 seconds.

01:02:07 ◼   ► seconds. It's a horrible thing to think about, horrible thing to talk about, but it's something

01:02:10 ◼   ► we should all be prepared for. Most burglaries happen in broad daylight because people will ring

01:02:15 ◼   ► your doorbell, they'll see if you're in, and if they know you're not in they might try and break

01:02:19 ◼   ► in. But the ring video doorbell has been proven to stop burglars before they happen. It's kind of

01:02:23 ◼   ► common sense really because someone will ring your doorbell and you'll be able to see them and talk

01:02:28 ◼   ► to them through the doorbell. So it's like you know you have those little intercom systems and

01:02:32 ◼   ► stuff, it's like having one of those, but no matter what type of building you live in you can have one

01:02:36 ◼   ► and you can fit it up real easy. It's super simple to do.

01:02:39 ◼   ► You can just fix it. They give you everything you need in the box to put it up

01:02:43 ◼   ► and you'll be ready to go. You just install the application, you set it up

01:02:47 ◼   ► and it's done. I really like that there's a couple of different color

01:02:50 ◼   ► options so you can match kind of your door and then the decor of the outside of

01:02:53 ◼   ► your home

01:02:54 ◼   ► and it looks just like a doorbell. It's not like this huge box with this massive

01:02:59 ◼   ► camera. Like

01:02:59 ◼   ► it just looks like a really good nice little device. The Ring Video Doorbell

01:03:04 ◼   ► is there to help protect you, but they also now have taken their Ring Advanced Motion Detection

01:03:11 ◼   ► and put it in the Ring of Security Kit. The kit includes the doorbell but also the new Ring Stick Up Cam

01:03:18 ◼   ► which is a wireless, weatherproof HD camera so you can take all that motion detection camera technology

01:03:24 ◼   ► and stick it up anywhere in your home, inside or outside and then these two devices will work together

01:03:29 ◼   ► They take just minutes to install and then they provide 24/7 monitoring of your entire home

01:03:34 ◼   ► Whether you're in the living room and you just can't go over to go to the door

01:03:37 ◼   ► Or if you're thousands of miles away on holiday

01:03:40 ◼   ► It doesn't matter join the hundreds of thousands of people who protect their home with ring for a limited time off

01:03:46 ◼   ► Listeners of this show can save up to $150 on the ring a security kit. This is the lowest price anywhere

01:03:55 ◼   ► So go to ring.com slash upgrade right now. Thank you so much to ring for their support of this show

01:03:59 ◼   ► Emryley FM

01:04:02 ◼   ► It's time for some ask upgrade gentlemen

01:04:05 ◼   ► That was some Portland style lasers right there

01:04:09 ◼   ► Jason what do you think?

01:04:12 ◼   ► The galaxy note fiasco might do for iPhone sales people that don't know the galaxy note 7 has had

01:04:20 ◼   ► Unfortunate time right now

01:04:24 ◼   ► with setting fire. Yeah some battery problems. Apple had that with laptops

01:04:31 ◼   ► you know 15 years ago. PowerBook 5300. Yeah so this is what I consider to be

01:04:37 ◼   ► kind of a little bit upsetting about this. Sad. I feel really bad for Samsung

01:04:42 ◼   ► because it could happen to anyone. Like on Friday the phones that we pick up the

01:04:47 ◼   ► batteries might go wrong and they might start catching fire. Like this can just

01:04:50 ◼   ► happen. Right? Like it's not necessarily that they're doing something bad but they just

01:04:55 ◼   ► may have a batch of bad batteries and they're catching fire. This is like battery technology

01:04:59 ◼   ► is crazy, it's difficult and it's flammable materials. So this stuff could happen to anyone.

01:05:05 ◼   ► I feel kind of bad for them that they're in this situation right now. All the air agencies

01:05:09 ◼   ► like the FAA and I think it's the EASA are saying please don't turn these phones on or

01:05:15 ◼   ► charge them when you're on airplanes. Like it's and now they're having to recall them

01:05:19 ◼   ► it's a real unfortunate thing. So one, what do you think about that? Two, do you think

01:05:22 ◼   ► it's going to have an effect on iPhone sales?

01:05:26 ◼   ► It might have a minor effect. I feel like most people are going to get a new phone,

01:05:29 ◼   ► they're going to get a loaner and then they're going to get a new phone from Samsung.

01:05:32 ◼   ► They're not going to like, say like, no, now I'm going to go buy an iPhone and be like

01:05:35 ◼   ► $600 in the hole.

01:05:37 ◼   ► It really seems unlikely that that would, I mean I'm sure you're going to get your money

01:05:40 ◼   ► back if you don't want to keep your exploding Galaxy Note. You can probably find a way to

01:05:44 ◼   ► just demand a refund, but it seems unlikely. I mean the people who bought the Galaxy Note

01:05:48 ◼   ► have reasons to buy a giant Android phone, that's what they want, and they made a choice.

01:05:53 ◼   ► It seems unlikely that most of them are going to want to suddenly go to a, you know, maybe

01:05:57 ◼   ► similarly giant Apple phone, because, yeah, they've made a choice already. So, yeah, I

01:06:04 ◼   ► feel bad, I mean, I don't feel too bad. It's Samsung. They're not my favorite.

01:06:08 ◼   ► >> Come on.

01:06:09 ◼   ► >> But it could happen to anyone, you're absolutely right.

01:06:12 ◼   ► >> And it's just a shame. I think, I genuinely think it's a shame, because it looks like

01:06:16 ◼   ► great phone and they're in a really unfortunate situation. Yeah and it's a

01:06:22 ◼   ► case where one of their suppliers gave them a bad product and the fact is

01:06:24 ◼   ► that's happened before Apple had the bad power adapters in the US that they have

01:06:29 ◼   ► that's why we all have little green dots on our power adapters now. Yep. The little

01:06:33 ◼   ► tiny square adapters that came with iPhones. They've had you know recalls and

01:06:37 ◼   ► well not recalls but repair extension programs on Macs over the years right

01:06:40 ◼   ► now there's one for MacBook Pros with the GPU basically just... Do you remember when they

01:06:43 ◼   ► I did it on the iPod like not too long ago.

01:06:46 ◼   ► It was like the iPod Nano.

01:06:47 ◼   ► Yeah, the first Nintendo had a problem.

01:06:49 ◼   ► So I mean it happens, you know, I think the tribalism of poking fun of it is pretty boring,

01:06:54 ◼   ► but…

01:06:55 ◼   ► This is not proof of the fact that Samsung sucks and Apple is great, right?

01:06:59 ◼   ► No, that's ridiculous.

01:07:00 ◼   ► This is a company who had a manufacturing flaw in their product and the supply chains

01:07:06 ◼   ► are complicated and in this case they're getting two different batteries from two different

01:07:09 ◼   ► manufacturers and one of them, this is why it's not a problem in Asia,

01:07:13 ◼   ► apparently is that Samsung's using Samsung's batteries in Asia from another

01:07:17 ◼   ► part of Samsung and those are fine.

01:07:18 ◼   ► And this other one that is being used to supply the third

01:07:21 ◼   ► parties in the U S is, is some other company. And those have the problem.

01:07:25 ◼   ► It's, you know, Honda is going through this right now with airbags in the U S

01:07:28 ◼   ► where the airbags for certain, um, early two thousands models of Honda cars are

01:07:33 ◼   ► potentially explosive, like dangerously explosive.

01:07:36 ◼   ► They may just explode while you're driving your car.

01:07:39 ◼   ► That sounds like a good feature.

01:07:40 ◼   ► Yeah, it's a safety feature.

01:07:42 ◼   ► It's a surprise.

01:07:43 ◼   ► That has turned horribly wrong.

01:07:44 ◼   ► And it's just, you know, they had a third party

01:07:46 ◼   ► and the third party it turned out was the story I read.

01:07:50 ◼   ► I didn't report this myself,

01:07:52 ◼   ► but they were like cutting corners

01:07:54 ◼   ► and there were issues with them.

01:07:55 ◼   ► And as a result, they have to do this massive recall

01:07:58 ◼   ► of those products too.

01:07:59 ◼   ► So it's terrible when something happens

01:08:01 ◼   ► because this is, yeah, it's ugly.

01:08:04 ◼   ► And I feel bad, the people I really feel bad for

01:08:06 ◼   ► are the people who are very excited

01:08:07 ◼   ► they got the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note and now they've got to live with the prospect

01:08:11 ◼   ► of like they got to go back, talk about going back to a store where you bought something,

01:08:14 ◼   ► they've got to go back with this thing that they're not supposed to use, they've probably

01:08:18 ◼   ► migrated all their data to it, they might, yeah, they're supposedly getting like loaner

01:08:22 ◼   ► phones that you then have to restore and then you have to wait and then you'll get another

01:08:25 ◼   ► one and it's really lousy to be one of their customers so I hope they take, I hope they

01:08:30 ◼   ► take other, they take care of the people basically.

01:08:35 ◼   ► But they take care of the customers and make them feel better and maybe give them some

01:08:39 ◼   ► free stuff because I feel really bad for them that they invested their money in a premium

01:08:44 ◼   ► product.

01:08:45 ◼   ► And they had this terrible experience.

01:08:49 ◼   ► Myke wants to know, "Any mention of a headphone adapter that goes the other way, plugging

01:08:53 ◼   ► lightning headphones into a 3.5mm jack?

01:08:56 ◼   ► I haven't seen one."

01:08:58 ◼   ► No.

01:08:59 ◼   ► I think because of the DAC situation I'm not even sure it would be possible.

01:09:03 ◼   ► Because I assume they're looking for a digital audio stream over lightning, which you would

01:09:11 ◼   ► need... yeah.

01:09:13 ◼   ► It seems unlikely, but that is a question that if such a thing doesn't exist, what it

01:09:18 ◼   ► means is that if you're the kind of person who likes to take your iPhone headphones and

01:09:22 ◼   ► plug them into your laptop, you can't.

01:09:24 ◼   ► What if you buy one of those really expensive lightning headphones, like the really nice

01:09:29 ◼   ► stuff, because you want to get the best sound when you're on your iOS devices, and then

01:09:33 ◼   ► and you wanna use them on your Mac, right?

01:09:35 ◼   ► And you can't do it.

01:09:36 ◼   ► I mean, I think that's the reason this,

01:09:37 ◼   ► I don't think Myke's wondering this question

01:09:39 ◼   ► because of these AirPods.

01:09:40 ◼   ► - A lot of the really expensive lightning headphones

01:09:43 ◼   ► have detachable cords.

01:09:46 ◼   ► - Right. - You can swap them out.

01:09:47 ◼   ► - Right. - I mean,

01:09:48 ◼   ► and it leads to the question of,

01:09:49 ◼   ► are we gonna see lightning ports on the side of new Macs

01:09:51 ◼   ► if they ever show up?

01:09:52 ◼   ► And that I really go back and forth on.

01:09:55 ◼   ► I think it could be confusing

01:09:57 ◼   ► because lightning is data in on iPhones and iPads

01:10:00 ◼   ► and you're using it just for audio out

01:10:02 ◼   ► or some other weird stuff on the Mac, but--

01:10:04 ◼   ► - And it's so similar to USB-C,

01:10:06 ◼   ► which we all think is coming to the Mac.

01:10:08 ◼   ► - You're gonna be jamming things in the wrong port.

01:10:11 ◼   ► It's all very messy, but I--

01:10:12 ◼   ► - This is Michael's question.

01:10:14 ◼   ► He wanted to know whether we think

01:10:15 ◼   ► that their new MacBooks and new MacBook Pros

01:10:18 ◼   ► will have headphone jacks on them.

01:10:19 ◼   ► - I think it has to be--

01:10:22 ◼   ► - I think they're gonna take away from the MacBook,

01:10:24 ◼   ► eventually, because the MacBook's whole premise is wireless.

01:10:28 ◼   ► - Well, and wouldn't you rather have a second USB-C port?

01:10:32 ◼   ► - I don't know if they would make that trade off.

01:10:34 ◼   ► They just cover it up with aluminum.

01:10:35 ◼   ► - No, I just think on the MacBook,

01:10:37 ◼   ► they would just literally take the headphone jack on,

01:10:39 ◼   ► and they'll put a lightning port on there.

01:10:40 ◼   ► They're just gonna take the headphone jack on.

01:10:41 ◼   ► - I think they would be consistent across the line.

01:10:43 ◼   ► I don't see them doing that on the MacBook,

01:10:45 ◼   ► and then leaving it anywhere else.

01:10:47 ◼   ► But-- - Why?

01:10:50 ◼   ► - Because it's--

01:10:51 ◼   ► - But the line is inconsistent,

01:10:53 ◼   ► because there's USB-C on one device,

01:10:56 ◼   ► and not on another device. - For now.

01:10:57 ◼   ► I mean I think we're going to see USB-C on these new Macs, but I think too...

01:10:59 ◼   ► You know what I said before, eventually the headphone jack will go away from everything.

01:11:03 ◼   ► Well I think too, I think the other side of this is that while two of the three of us

01:11:08 ◼   ► sitting at this table use iPads for audio work, the Mac is much more sort of in that

01:11:15 ◼   ► world.

01:11:16 ◼   ► I think the MacBook Pro is staying.

01:11:17 ◼   ► You've got a Pro system, you've got to have those extra AV things for your video editors

01:11:23 ◼   ► and audio editors and things like that.

01:11:24 ◼   ► I don't see them ripping it out of the MacBook and leaving it in other places though.

01:11:26 ◼   ► So I think that they will, I think I definitely keep it on the MacBook Pro.

01:11:30 ◼   ► I think it's less likely for the MacBook, but I agree with what you're saying.

01:11:33 ◼   ► It would be weird, but it could do it.

01:11:35 ◼   ► But anyway, I think maybe Michael's question is centered more around the MacBook Pros.

01:11:39 ◼   ► Uh, and I think that pro audio production is still a good use case for the MacBook Pro

01:11:46 ◼   ► existing and I think I'll take away the headphone jack from there for now.

01:11:49 ◼   ► I also hope they won't.

01:11:50 ◼   ► Also the iPhone is the one product that absolutely has space issues on the inside, right?

01:11:56 ◼   ► I mean the MacBook does too actually, but even then the MacBook has so much space compared to an iPhone, right?

01:12:01 ◼   ► Yeah

01:12:01 ◼   ► I don't think that the the space taken by the headphone jack is so if they get on stage and rev the the

01:12:07 ◼   ► 27-inch iMac and they say without the headphone jack, we'd have more space to do things. I'm just gonna quit like yeah, we're done

01:12:13 ◼   ► We're all done

01:12:15 ◼   ► Eric wanted to know

01:12:17 ◼   ► He says he's not gonna be getting this new iPhone

01:12:20 ◼   ► But wondering in the future if Apple will still include the headphone adapter in the box

01:12:24 ◼   ► I think this is a one-time deal Eric, but the adapters are only nine dollars, so they're not too bad

01:12:31 ◼   ► Yeah, I totally agree. I think it's so I think it's a one time to ease the transition

01:12:34 ◼   ► Think it's just to shut up the press

01:12:38 ◼   ► Like that I like that it's nine bucks, you know

01:12:41 ◼   ► The only other thing close to is like the magsafe two to one adapter or whatever

01:12:46 ◼   ► Nine bucks is the right call. I think if this thing was

01:12:50 ◼   ► 19 like it would be not great $9 feels feels nice at $9

01:12:55 ◼   ► You could buy like four of them and attach them to all existing headphones

01:12:58 ◼   ► Yeah, right. You just lead them on there and you're all good

01:13:01 ◼   ► You could dig up right Rajeev wants to know will the Apple watch eventually support night shift

01:13:06 ◼   ► This was a shocking and admission to me with true tone on the iPhone. I think both of those things

01:13:10 ◼   ► I think what should you not should have my shift especially the new one?

01:13:16 ◼   ► Even brighter. He's you know this yeah, he's like opening the Ark of the Covenant in the end Jones

01:13:20 ◼   ► It's now two times brighter, which is awesome. So my eyes will melt

01:13:23 ◼   ► And no true tone on the iPhone is also very very surprising to me

01:13:27 ◼   ► I'm surprised at that too because it's not like the iPhone doesn't have a light sensor and all the true tone is

01:13:32 ◼   ► You know, it's a multi

01:13:34 ◼   ► Multi sensor light sensor where it's it's not just sensing light. It's sensing the color temperature of the light

01:13:41 ◼   ► so it's doing an RGB sensor instead of a

01:13:44 ◼   ► Regular sensor Craig Hockenberry had a tweet. Maybe we can dig it up

01:13:47 ◼   ► He'd found where that sensor is on the the nine point seven inch iPad Pro and apparently the the surface area

01:13:54 ◼   ► Uses it's pretty large. Ah

01:13:56 ◼   ► so he had said that you know, this may be a

01:14:00 ◼   ► another space constraint issue right because you got it you've got a

01:14:05 ◼   ► be

01:14:07 ◼   ► You've got a sample the RGB to do that

01:14:10 ◼   ► Also, just thinking ahead, because we have done that from time to time in terms of conspiracy

01:14:15 ◼   ► theories and all of that, if an iPhone 8 next year is sort of wall-to-wall screen and the

01:14:23 ◼   ► home button goes away entirely and all of that, one of the challenges is going to be

01:14:29 ◼   ► having space for sensors like the front-facing camera, the selfie camera, and the light sensor,

01:14:37 ◼   ► they're gonna want to maximize the screen space there.

01:14:40 ◼   ► So I wonder too, if that's part of it is,

01:14:44 ◼   ► well, we could probably get it to fit this year,

01:14:46 ◼   ► but our plans for next year,

01:14:48 ◼   ► it's, I'm not sure we could get it to fit.

01:14:50 ◼   ► So maybe we should just leave it alone.

01:14:54 ◼   ► But I am surprised because that seemed like a feature

01:14:56 ◼   ► that was gonna be everywhere and it's not.

01:14:58 ◼   ► - I feel like there's a lot of that conversation right now

01:15:00 ◼   ► talking about, well, next year,

01:15:01 ◼   ► they're gonna do this and that.

01:15:02 ◼   ► And so far my expectations for next year's iPhone

01:15:06 ◼   ► is is ridiculous. The iPhone 7 has not even shipped yet and and people have been talking

01:15:13 ◼   ► about iPhone 8 a lot. So I expect whatever iPhone 10th anniversary edition special special

01:15:19 ◼   ► edition. I expect Apple to... iPhone 10. I think we will have some expectation setting

01:15:26 ◼   ► for us. Yeah we'll see we'll see but Craig finding that that's good because that that

01:15:33 ◼   ► shows that would make sense right there's really limited space and you know

01:15:37 ◼   ► I don't know what a RGB light sensor takes up in terms of space yeah but back

01:15:41 ◼   ► to the question I agree night shift on the Apple watch would be would be great

01:15:45 ◼   ► you know my only thought is that the watch the screen technology can't

01:15:51 ◼   ► support that sort of color shifting as well or maybe as smoothly as they wanted

01:15:54 ◼   ► that's where I kind of out of my depth knowing about how the screen actually

01:15:57 ◼   ► works or maybe how the graphics processor works because what you have to

01:16:01 ◼   ► do is shift all of the color you have to detect what all the colors are supposed

01:16:04 ◼   ► to be painted on the screen and shift them in real time. So maybe the

01:16:08 ◼   ► maybe the GPU maybe something like the the Series 2 might be capable of doing

01:16:14 ◼   ► that down the road in terms of software and maybe the Series 1 or Zero can't.

01:16:19 ◼   ► Yeah so I guess we'll see I would like to see it especially on the watch I mean

01:16:23 ◼   ► Lucas wants to know if the iPhone 7's water resistance means that

01:16:28 ◼   ► that you could take underwater photos and videos.

01:16:30 ◼   ► In theory, yes.

01:16:34 ◼   ► - In theory.

01:16:35 ◼   ► - Just don't have it under for too long?

01:16:38 ◼   ► - For too long and don't go too deep.

01:16:40 ◼   ► The challenge is going to be

01:16:41 ◼   ► that your touchscreen won't work.

01:16:43 ◼   ► - The volume up button.

01:16:44 ◼   ► - But you can press the volume up button to do the shutter.

01:16:48 ◼   ► So yes, it's quite possible.

01:16:52 ◼   ► The problem is Apple still saying,

01:16:53 ◼   ► watch out for water damage.

01:16:54 ◼   ► I think the idea here is you're supposed to,

01:16:58 ◼   ► not use this except when you accidentally put it in the water

01:17:02 ◼   ► uh... but if it's truly as water-resistant as the first apple watch

01:17:07 ◼   ► we know that speaking of craig hockenberry again

01:17:10 ◼   ► uh... that he takes it in the surf

01:17:12 ◼   ► like every day and it's basically apple is saying you can spill stuff on it or

01:17:16 ◼   ► splash stuff on it

01:17:18 ◼   ► so if you if it does work which it probably will but your iPhone breaks

01:17:22 ◼   ► you're on your own

01:17:23 ◼   ► because they're not saying this is the... they still say the water

01:17:27 ◼   ► damage is not covered under the warranty.

01:17:29 ◼   ► But like you know I think at least in my brain I keep getting the Apple Watch's water resistance

01:17:34 ◼   ► and the iPhone's water resistance mixed up.

01:17:36 ◼   ► The new iPhone's water resistance is the old Apple Watch's water resistance which is three

01:17:41 ◼   ► feet for 30 minutes and the new Apple Watch is you know yeah do whatever and this is that's

01:17:49 ◼   ► the point at which Apple says sure swim with it.

01:17:51 ◼   ► So even though it was basically water resistant enough for you to take a shower with it or

01:17:56 ◼   ► swim with it before, Apple didn't talk about it.

01:17:58 ◼   ► And that's where the iPhone is now.

01:18:00 ◼   ► So what I would say is, you could do it and you might even succeed doing it, taking underwater

01:18:05 ◼   ► photography with it.

01:18:07 ◼   ► That said, you're sort of taking the product into your own hands at that point.

01:18:11 ◼   ► It will probably work, but when I took a shower with the Apple Watch on day one, people were

01:18:17 ◼   ► like, "Oh wow, I can't believe you risked the Apple Watch there."

01:18:20 ◼   ► And it was like, "Yeah, well, I did."

01:18:22 ◼   ► - The thing I got very excited about the prospect of

01:18:24 ◼   ► is having the iPhone in the shower with me,

01:18:27 ◼   ► like on a shelf.

01:18:28 ◼   ► - Yeah.

01:18:28 ◼   ► - When I'm listening to podcasts.

01:18:30 ◼   ► - Yeah, you may be able to do that.

01:18:32 ◼   ► - Well, I'm gonna do it.

01:18:32 ◼   ► - Okay.

01:18:33 ◼   ► - I'm very excited about it.

01:18:34 ◼   ► I'm not gonna hold it, right?

01:18:35 ◼   ► - Right.

01:18:36 ◼   ► - But I could have it like on a shelf.

01:18:37 ◼   ► - On a shelf and if it splashes a little bit, it's okay.

01:18:40 ◼   ► - Doesn't matter, any steam, doesn't matter.

01:18:42 ◼   ► - Doesn't matter.

01:18:43 ◼   ► - I'm excited about that.

01:18:44 ◼   ► - Some shaving cream.

01:18:45 ◼   ► - Yeah, it's fine, it's all good.

01:18:47 ◼   ► Ryan wants to know, "Do you think Apple

01:18:48 ◼   ► "would ever license the W1 chip down the road

01:18:51 ◼   ► for third party headphone makers to make a better Bluetooth experience. So this W1 chip

01:18:56 ◼   ► is what is the special source I think. Is everybody keeps referring to it. Stephen what

01:19:01 ◼   ► do you think? I don't see them doing this. They have a headphone company. Yeah they own

01:19:06 ◼   ► Beats and there were what three Beats products that are going to be supporting this. Yeah.

01:19:10 ◼   ► I think Apple is going to keep it as a competitive advantage. Which they're well within their

01:19:15 ◼   ► rights to do. Of course. This is their technology why would they give it to other people? Right

01:19:19 ◼   ► - It's not, that was kind of part of the debate

01:19:22 ◼   ► about Bluetooth being an open standard

01:19:24 ◼   ► and this not being that.

01:19:26 ◼   ► And so my argument was, you know,

01:19:28 ◼   ► there's a difference there, there's a gradient of difference

01:19:31 ◼   ► and I don't see this showing up in other brands

01:19:35 ◼   ► that I can walk into a Best Buy and purchase.

01:19:37 ◼   ► - These things are Bluetooth headphones

01:19:39 ◼   ► and they work over Bluetooth, which is great,

01:19:41 ◼   ► but if you have an Apple device, they work even better.

01:19:44 ◼   ► Synergy, everybody.

01:19:45 ◼   ► I think there's a chance that this could be part of a made for iPhone kind of program.

01:19:56 ◼   ► A chance, but it seems unlikely.

01:19:59 ◼   ► It seems to me like this is Apple proprietary, they did the work, they're going to reap the

01:20:04 ◼   ► benefits and you know, you said it, Apple owns a headphone company.

01:20:09 ◼   ► Why would it not?

01:20:11 ◼   ► And here we see it.

01:20:12 ◼   ► These aren't just the first time AirPods.

01:20:15 ◼   ► AirPods technology is in those three lines of Beats headphones so why share?

01:20:20 ◼   ► I'm not very clear on what they get though, those Beats headphones. I think they get the instant pairing.

01:20:24 ◼   ► And the better audio quality they say. Yeah because it's doing an AAC

01:20:29 ◼   ► whatever stream it's doing is a better audio quality I think. So and

01:20:34 ◼   ► maybe battery life as well is better. Yeah I don't know. Because it's more efficient. And I don't know if they're using the sensors and things too or not.

01:20:42 ◼   ► - I think the sensors are not necessarily the W1 chip.

01:20:45 ◼   ► - No, they're--

01:20:46 ◼   ► - They're ear pods.

01:20:47 ◼   ► - So that's, it may just be that this is the thing

01:20:49 ◼   ► that drives all of their, this is their custom Bluetooth--

01:20:52 ◼   ► - It's the brains.

01:20:53 ◼   ► - Thing that does the special pairing and all of that.

01:20:57 ◼   ► - And I think if they're gonna do it,

01:20:58 ◼   ► it could, that could have been,

01:20:59 ◼   ► that would have fit into the pitch of,

01:21:02 ◼   ► we are in a wireless world and we've made this great thing

01:21:04 ◼   ► and we're gonna have it in MFI

01:21:06 ◼   ► so you can get any headphones you want.

01:21:08 ◼   ► - And nope.

01:21:09 ◼   ► - And that would have strengthened the argument

01:21:10 ◼   ► that we're now in a wireless world.

01:21:12 ◼   ► They didn't say it at launch,

01:21:13 ◼   ► I don't think it's gonna happen.

01:21:15 ◼   ► - No, because it's not up to Apple

01:21:18 ◼   ► to make everybody else's technology better.

01:21:20 ◼   ► That's not what a company does, right?

01:21:24 ◼   ► You're competing.

01:21:26 ◼   ► They're competing with Bose.

01:21:27 ◼   ► - Yeah, absolutely.

01:21:28 ◼   ► - Right, so why would they give their chips away to Bose?

01:21:31 ◼   ► That they're taking 10 years of development away from Bose.

01:21:34 ◼   ► Like, you're just a leapfrog.

01:21:35 ◼   ► They're not gonna do that.

01:21:36 ◼   ► - The last kind of thing on AirPods that comes to mind,

01:21:38 ◼   ► Tim Cook said a couple of years ago,

01:21:40 ◼   ► maybe all things DE or some interview,

01:21:43 ◼   ► that Apple is really looking at sensor technology.

01:21:46 ◼   ► These AirPods have so much stuff,

01:21:47 ◼   ► they know when they're in your ear,

01:21:48 ◼   ► they know when you're touching them.

01:21:51 ◼   ► I think that is potentially something he had in mind

01:21:54 ◼   ► in saying that because the watch does have some sensors,

01:21:57 ◼   ► but it's not really all that complicated.

01:22:00 ◼   ► - The watch sensors do basic things.

01:22:03 ◼   ► - And very specific things, where the AirPods seem like

01:22:06 ◼   ► they have an intelligence about them.

01:22:07 ◼   ► And Myke, to your point, maybe it doesn't look

01:22:09 ◼   ► far enough but they seem to be really aware of their surroundings in a way

01:22:13 ◼   ► that we haven't really seen from Apple hardware before. No I think it's that's

01:22:16 ◼   ► what excites me about the earplugs this idea of like put one in get them on oh

01:22:21 ◼   ► like put them both in take them out and like everything just reacts to it right

01:22:25 ◼   ► and like oh how to speak their language you know how to use it their gestures

01:22:29 ◼   ► then it becomes kind of second nature so wait and see we are in the wait and see

01:22:32 ◼   ► period we are but not for long I'm sure next Monday we'll see how the setup

01:22:38 ◼   ► process goes, it's that time of year again. How angry will Myke be when he tries to sell

01:22:43 ◼   ► his iPhone?

01:22:43 ◼   ► We really went to town last year on this.

01:22:46 ◼   ► It was a disaster, so I'm excited to see how iOS 10 fares the setup. I mean, I know we're

01:22:51 ◼   ► going to get another screen where I have to customize my home button strength.

01:22:55 ◼   ► Yeah, that'll be exciting.

01:22:57 ◼   ► But I'm interested to see.

01:22:58 ◼   ► That'll be the new question, is how strong is your home button? We'll all be asking next

01:23:03 ◼   ► week.

01:23:03 ◼   ► I will go weakest, to the weakest possible touch, because I have a 3D touch as well,

01:23:07 ◼   ► I worry about RSI stuff and I've had concerns and I was having concerns at the exact time that I haven't came out last year

01:23:14 ◼   ► So I've always set mine to be the weakest possible and I haven't had any problems of it by no problem

01:23:18 ◼   ► I know people that have

01:23:20 ◼   ► So I think you know cuz you're pressing more and doing some weird stuff. Yeah smooshing your finger against a flat surface

01:23:26 ◼   ► One last thing on this, okay, but it's home button I forgot to mention last week

01:23:32 ◼   ► Why did they make it look like a home button if it doesn't click?

01:23:34 ◼   ► Why did it need to be like that?

01:23:36 ◼   ► Gives you a target?

01:23:37 ◼   ► Yeah, but it could have just been a flat surface with the fingerprint sensor on it.

01:23:41 ◼   ► My only thought is the Touch ID, the stainless steel ring activates Touch ID and that needs

01:23:47 ◼   ► to be elevated enough where you can touch it and read on both sides.

01:23:52 ◼   ► So my thought is it's a depth issue and let's put the hat on for next year if this new magic

01:23:57 ◼   ► unicorn iPhone is great and the home button goes away, why spend a bunch of R&D time and

01:24:02 ◼   ► engineering time we can basically reuse the same

01:24:06 ◼   ► components and replace the underside.

01:24:10 ◼   ► My theory for this next phone, the reason we're talking about this phone is because the

01:24:14 ◼   ► current one looks exactly the same

01:24:15 ◼   ► and there's been rumors like I think John Gruber started them about like

01:24:19 ◼   ► don't worry the next one's gonna be all glass and it's gonna be the most amazing thing

01:24:22 ◼   ► I've seen. I think they're gonna put the fingerprint sensor on the back

01:24:26 ◼   ► because where would you put the fingerprint sensor on an all glass front?

01:24:28 ◼   ► It's possible. I mean, we see that I've got that in my Nexus 5X.

01:24:32 ◼   ► I love it on the back.

01:24:33 ◼   ► Same.

01:24:33 ◼   ► And it's not bad. The only problem with it is you can't put it in the case.

01:24:37 ◼   ► Or if you do, they've got to do a fingerprint cutout.

01:24:38 ◼   ► The cases have holes in them.

01:24:39 ◼   ► Yeah.

01:24:40 ◼   ► Which is whatever.

01:24:41 ◼   ► Like, I-

01:24:41 ◼   ► Apple workshopped that a few years ago with the 5C.

01:24:44 ◼   ► I already have a hole for my camera.

01:24:46 ◼   ► Yeah.

01:24:47 ◼   ► So does that.

01:24:47 ◼   ► So you'd have a thumb or a finger scanner cutout.

01:24:51 ◼   ► But it does, you hold it for those who haven't done it.

01:24:54 ◼   ► The idea of a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone sounds kind of ridiculous.

01:24:57 ◼   ► But you know what you pick up the phone and your hand is holding the phone and your for me

01:25:02 ◼   ► It's my index finger is resting right on that scanner on the back and the phone opens

01:25:07 ◼   ► And I'm looking at my phone and I've seen some really cool stuff that some make some

01:25:10 ◼   ► Android makers are doing like I can't remember who it is

01:25:14 ◼   ► It's doing it but you can swipe on the fingerprint sensor and it will bring down your notification shade

01:25:19 ◼   ► How cool is that? Yeah, so you got your hand on the back you just swipe it down and the notifications pop up

01:25:23 ◼   ► So it could be also, you know, Apple's happy to make the lives of case

01:25:28 ◼   ► makers more difficult, especially after.

01:25:31 ◼   ► That was the other thing, by the way, you know,

01:25:33 ◼   ► as we were talking last week about the Twitter stuff popping out

01:25:35 ◼   ► just as the event started, Amazon had a page go up with all of the iPhone 7 cases.

01:25:40 ◼   ► So it was it was a yeah.
