In this episode, we dive into an exciting unboxing experience of the highly anticipated iPhone 16 Pro Max. Joining me are Taylor Arndt and Jeff Bishop as we explore the latest features and updates of Apple’s flagship device. The atmosphere is buzzing with anticipation as I reveal the shiny new phone in its white titanium finish, highlighting the heft and premium feel of the packaging.
We kick off the discussion by examining the device’s physical attributes, comparing it to the previous generation, the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The new camera button grabs our attention; it’s now a pressable button that promises a more tactile experience when taking photos or videos. This switch marks a departure from previous models, sparking a debate about whether such changes enhance usability or overcomplicate the design. We take the time to reveal various elements inside the box, including the USB-C cable, and lament the absence of Apple stickers in the packaging.
As I set up the phone, we talk about pricing, options for monthly payment plans, and the convenience of Apple’s trade-in program, which has facilitated my purchase strategy over the years. The unboxing continues with a closer look at the device. The new weight, a bit heftier than its predecessor, is noted, yet it seems to provide a reassuring grip, which is appreciated by everyone on the call.
Moving on to the setup process, I narrate my experience activating the phone with Verizon, showcasing how streamlined and intuitive the procedure is. The phone’s prompt recognition of my existing Apple ID and the quick-start feature create a smooth transition from my old device. As I delve deeper into the setup, we discuss the differences in Face ID recognition, highlighting improvements that cater to users who require accessibility features.
Once the initial setup is complete, I focus on the sound quality, initiating a microphone test that showcases the new audio profiles, which appear to offer enhanced clarity. Taylor and Jeff weigh in on their observations, comparing the sound characteristics to those of the older devices. The quality of the built-in microphones becomes a key point of conversation, with intriguing insights regarding how they stack up against previous models.
Throughout the episode, we emphasize the aesthetic aspects of the phone, explicitly drawn to the new camera bump design and the shinier titanium sides. The conversation flows seamlessly into the new photographic features and styles available, as well as the practical applications for everyday users and photography enthusiasts.
As we transition towards the conclusion of this episode, our discussions touch on the intriguing thought of an entire podcast dedicated to the art of iPhone photography, aiming to educate listeners on how to maximize their experience with the new device. Each of us provides our social media handles where listeners can connect, share their thoughts, and continue the conversation surrounding the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This unboxing episode is not only a detailed walkthrough of the new device but also a lively interaction that reflects on our shared excitement, apprehensions, and anticipation for the enhanced capabilities of Apple’s latest smartphone.
1
00:00:00,017 –> 00:00:07,117
Hello everyone and welcome to an IACast special unboxing of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
2
00:00:07,397 –> 00:00:12,677
We may have a few people joining us today, but right now we have Taylor Arndt. Hi Taylor.
3
00:00:13,077 –> 00:00:17,117
Hi Michael. Super excited that you got your phone. I was wondering if you’d
4
00:00:17,117 –> 00:00:18,577
actually get it today. Yeah, me too.
5
00:00:18,737 –> 00:00:21,177
And Jeff Bishop. Hi Jeff. Hello.
6
00:00:22,077 –> 00:00:26,297
I did not get one. Me either yet. Jeff didn’t order one yet.
7
00:00:26,657 –> 00:00:32,817
Yeah. And Taylor hasn’t either, but we have one right here.
8
00:00:33,357 –> 00:00:35,917
And that would be embarrassing if I had a box upside down.
9
00:00:37,257 –> 00:00:45,557
Good job, Michael. So we have the iPhone 16 Pro Max in white, white titanium.
10
00:00:46,517 –> 00:00:52,017
And it already looks really exciting. I went out and got it just to make sure I’d have it.
11
00:00:52,557 –> 00:00:58,357
And it’s a nice phone. Like the box is pretty hefty. It is definitely bigger.
12
00:00:58,717 –> 00:01:00,017
We’re going to see how much bigger.
13
00:01:00,497 –> 00:01:03,517
And we’re also going to do a mic test as well once I get it set up.
14
00:01:04,737 –> 00:01:10,277
So this is 512 gigs with Verizon. Let’s get into it. What did it cost?
15
00:01:10,997 –> 00:01:13,937
Well, I’m paying monthly on it. So I think it’s normally $1,300,
16
00:01:14,237 –> 00:01:17,457
but I’m paying monthly on it.
17
00:01:17,597 –> 00:01:22,417
Okay. That’s correct. $1,300. And about that whole thing, what I’ve actually done in the past,
18
00:01:22,497 –> 00:01:26,317
and I’ve saved a whole lot of money on this, is I’d pay for the phone monthly
19
00:01:26,317 –> 00:01:29,917
for like two or three months and then pay it all off because I still get all
20
00:01:29,917 –> 00:01:33,197
the Verizon trade-in deals and things. That way I could save more money on it.
21
00:01:33,457 –> 00:01:38,957
So I love that Apple has these neat little pull tabs that you just pull off on the box.
22
00:01:39,557 –> 00:01:45,297
You know, they don’t have the plastic, you know, wrappings that go around the
23
00:01:45,297 –> 00:01:50,837
boxes anymore, which were always terrible to get off of these things.
24
00:01:51,437 –> 00:01:56,717
But the one side was very easy to get off and this other side is proving to
25
00:01:56,717 –> 00:01:57,917
be a little more stubborn.
26
00:01:59,085 –> 00:02:07,825
But I was expecting just cameras and Apple intelligence and things like that.
27
00:02:07,865 –> 00:02:10,945
Oh, I was going at the wrong part there.
28
00:02:11,025 –> 00:02:16,125
I was expecting Apple intelligence and camera stuff, but not the speaker stuff
29
00:02:16,125 –> 00:02:18,705
that we got. Were y’all expecting that?
30
00:02:19,525 –> 00:02:24,105
Not at all. For the past few years, it’s all been cameras, cameras,
31
00:02:24,265 –> 00:02:25,685
cameras, and more cameras.
32
00:02:25,765 –> 00:02:30,785
But this year it was a mix, which is great. Here we go. Pulling the lid off.
33
00:02:31,345 –> 00:02:34,925
Without dropping it. Let’s make sure we don’t… That would really suck.
34
00:02:35,985 –> 00:02:37,145
The lid is off.
35
00:02:38,885 –> 00:02:43,665
And they put the phone back side up in the box.
36
00:02:44,045 –> 00:02:48,225
I think that’s new. They did not typically do that from what I remember.
37
00:02:48,925 –> 00:02:53,225
And of course, it’s always at the top. So there’s a little pull tab that will
38
00:02:53,225 –> 00:02:54,785
pull the phone out of the box.
39
00:02:55,525 –> 00:02:57,705
Oh, wow, it is heavier.
40
00:02:58,685 –> 00:03:03,125
No lie there. A little tab off the front screen.
41
00:03:03,965 –> 00:03:10,865
But it’s not much bigger. I mean, it’s bigger, but it’s not terribly big.
42
00:03:11,665 –> 00:03:18,085
Okay. So I’m going to describe this phone after I take out everything from the
43
00:03:18,085 –> 00:03:20,425
box. You get another USB-C cable.
44
00:03:21,745 –> 00:03:27,525
Is it braided? Oh, yeah, I was just going to add that. Yeah. Whoops. Good job.
45
00:03:30,085 –> 00:03:34,505
Unfortunately, that’s it. You get a little bit of paper manuals in here.
46
00:03:34,925 –> 00:03:39,025
Like, very small amount, but no more Apple stickers.
47
00:03:39,985 –> 00:03:43,845
Oh, but you can ask for them, can’t you? Or can you get them another way?
48
00:03:44,225 –> 00:03:47,845
Yeah, you can go to the store and ask for them, but that’s, you know,
49
00:03:48,625 –> 00:03:51,685
it’s like if you really, really want them, you can ask for them.
50
00:03:52,756 –> 00:03:57,476
But the closing the box, pain to open the box, and it was a pain to close the
51
00:03:57,476 –> 00:04:00,196
box. Okay, so we have the phone here.
52
00:04:01,296 –> 00:04:04,936
And it is kind of, the back is kind of an off-white color.
53
00:04:05,516 –> 00:04:11,036
It’s not exactly white. And the Apple logo is very, kind of hard to see.
54
00:04:11,516 –> 00:04:16,156
Kind of translucent, kind of Apple logo. Very white.
55
00:04:17,256 –> 00:04:22,176
And the titanium sides are very shiny.
56
00:04:22,776 –> 00:04:25,576
Cool very shiny i think i’m gonna
57
00:04:25,576 –> 00:04:29,336
really like this phone just because of how flashy and
58
00:04:29,336 –> 00:04:33,756
hey look there’s your phone michael i’ll be
59
00:04:33,756 –> 00:04:37,176
able to easily see this one unlike my last couple that that’s
60
00:04:37,176 –> 00:04:40,096
great because sometimes you’re like where’s my phone i’m like you’re like
61
00:04:40,096 –> 00:04:42,756
i can’t see it it it’s kind of
62
00:04:42,756 –> 00:04:46,536
a shinier it’s brighter
63
00:04:46,536 –> 00:04:50,316
than the stainless steel than it’s it’s similar to the same stainless steel
64
00:04:50,316 –> 00:04:57,436
look and i really like that i i’m i’m really liking the this this phone this
65
00:04:57,436 –> 00:05:04,036
is a little bit more heft it is heavier oh and that is i thought that was the um,
66
00:05:04,876 –> 00:05:12,956
the 5g antenna no that is the camera it is a pressable button like it it’s flush.
67
00:05:15,396 –> 00:05:23,096
But it’s flush but it is a button like it’s definitely a button that’s really neat,
68
00:05:23,976 –> 00:05:27,796
you can take a picture with that yeah it’s meant
69
00:05:27,796 –> 00:05:30,896
for like you can take a picture you can hold it
70
00:05:30,896 –> 00:05:33,896
down for other taking a video like you could hold it oh man
71
00:05:33,896 –> 00:05:36,796
i like this i was worried that with this camera
72
00:05:36,796 –> 00:05:39,876
i haven’t even turned on the phone yet i was worried with this camera connection
73
00:05:39,876 –> 00:05:45,216
or camera control button that you would easily be pressing that with your hands
74
00:05:45,216 –> 00:05:50,276
on the side of the phone you’re not going to do that folks and a lot of reviews
75
00:05:50,276 –> 00:05:53,956
have not talked about that you are not going to easily be pressing that button.
76
00:05:55,493 –> 00:06:00,493
I really like that. And I feel like, let’s see.
77
00:06:01,293 –> 00:06:07,393
So I’ve got my 15 Pro Max right here, and I almost dropped the cable on the couch. That’d be great.
78
00:06:08,033 –> 00:06:13,033
The cameras are very similar. Let’s put these phones together and see the sizes.
79
00:06:13,673 –> 00:06:20,473
Yeah, look at that. It is slightly bigger. It is not much bigger. It is slightly bigger.
80
00:06:21,313 –> 00:06:24,293
A few millimeters on the sides and
81
00:06:24,293 –> 00:06:28,053
it’s bigger more on the top than
82
00:06:28,053 –> 00:06:32,433
it is on the sides any questions
83
00:06:32,433 –> 00:06:37,753
about the design before i power it on i don’t think i have any questions i think
84
00:06:37,753 –> 00:06:42,673
i understand it so can you push the button now michael the camera button yes
85
00:06:42,673 –> 00:06:48,253
because it’s a it’s a tactile it’s an actual pressable button oh i hear it i
86
00:06:48,253 –> 00:06:49,533
hear it oh that’s interesting.
87
00:06:50,613 –> 00:06:54,733
But it’s actually flush, huh? So how do you think cases will work with that?
88
00:06:54,893 –> 00:06:58,573
Well, they have to have like a pass-through, like a little glass covering that
89
00:06:58,573 –> 00:07:01,773
goes over that button. Is that right? Yes.
90
00:07:02,433 –> 00:07:06,133
It’s touch sensitive. How is that going to work? I can go left and right.
91
00:07:06,553 –> 00:07:11,033
Apple’s cases have a little sapphire covering that goes over it.
92
00:07:12,093 –> 00:07:18,193
Huh. And this one was built very similarly to the 15 Pro Max.
93
00:07:18,993 –> 00:07:23,593
So, so how taller is it? It’s a few centimeters, a few millimeters taller,
94
00:07:23,793 –> 00:07:26,693
probably two or three. And then wide?
95
00:07:27,333 –> 00:07:29,853
Maybe half a millimeter wider, I would say.
96
00:07:31,763 –> 00:07:35,203
It’s not much different in the hand. What about the, what about the,
97
00:07:35,223 –> 00:07:38,563
on the left side where the volume up and volume down in the,
98
00:07:38,563 –> 00:07:40,643
on the action button, does it look any different?
99
00:07:40,923 –> 00:07:43,903
Looks exactly the same. Looks exactly the same.
100
00:07:45,223 –> 00:07:49,123
But it will not fit in your previous cases though. What about the,
101
00:07:49,143 –> 00:07:50,643
what about the camera on the back?
102
00:07:51,263 –> 00:07:56,483
They feel exactly the same. Although I really liked the white camera bump.
103
00:07:56,863 –> 00:08:01,203
It is very much like a lighter glass, transparent glass.
104
00:08:01,763 –> 00:08:08,923
It looks very nice. I mean, it’s it it is definitely an update to the 15 pro
105
00:08:08,923 –> 00:08:14,023
line That’s good And it’s a very shiny very flashy,
106
00:08:14,743 –> 00:08:18,983
Rim on this phone and I’m very glad that I went with the white I am NOT a fan
107
00:08:18,983 –> 00:08:22,423
of just like if it was a blue I would have probably gotten that again,
108
00:08:23,023 –> 00:08:28,283
but I’m not too much into the sand kind of desert color and and not as much
109
00:08:28,283 –> 00:08:35,943
into the just black slate color so what about the weight i know you said it’s
110
00:08:35,943 –> 00:08:40,463
a little heavier but is it noticeably heavier let me put one in each hand and i’ll tell you,
111
00:08:41,123 –> 00:08:44,123
it is slightly heavier not enough
112
00:08:44,123 –> 00:08:49,103
for me to care but interesting honestly it kind of gives it a little bit more
113
00:08:49,103 –> 00:08:55,323
grip in my opinion this phone feels better to hold like if i’m using it without
114
00:08:55,323 –> 00:09:01,403
that a case as i typically do i like the weight of this phone a little better oh that’s fascinating.
115
00:09:02,923 –> 00:09:10,343
So i’m going to power it on i’m going to power it on there we go we got an apple logo.
116
00:09:12,763 –> 00:09:14,343
And it’s booting up,
117
00:09:16,463 –> 00:09:19,363
it’s booted all right that was fat wow
118
00:09:19,363 –> 00:09:24,523
that was fast for a new phone mm-hmm voice alert
119
00:09:24,523 –> 00:09:27,523
voiceover gestures to go
120
00:09:27,523 –> 00:09:32,523
home slide one finger up from okay but it sounds about the same huh select your
121
00:09:32,523 –> 00:09:39,823
country or region heading in united states back choose how you would like appearance
122
00:09:39,823 –> 00:09:44,623
heading continue but default adjustable continue Continue. But…
123
00:09:45,263 –> 00:09:49,063
Quick… Quick start. Heading. Set up without another device.
124
00:09:49,303 –> 00:09:53,323
Bring your current iPhone or iPad near this iPhone to sign in and set up.
125
00:09:53,643 –> 00:09:57,823
If your other iPhone or iPad doesn’t show options for setting up this iPhone,
126
00:09:58,163 –> 00:10:02,343
make sure it’s running iOS 11 or later, and has Bluetooth turned on.
127
00:10:02,583 –> 00:10:05,103
You can also set up this iPhone manually.
128
00:10:06,823 –> 00:10:10,923
How are you going to do it, Michael? I’m going to use automatic setup at least.
129
00:10:12,263 –> 00:10:17,163
Voice over off. Yeah, because there’s no sense in writing your Apple ID again.
130
00:10:18,123 –> 00:10:20,823
Right. But I thought you were going to set it up as new. I am,
131
00:10:20,943 –> 00:10:23,783
but this just sets up your settings. Got it. Yeah.
132
00:10:24,203 –> 00:10:26,663
And your Apple ID and crap like that.
133
00:10:30,170 –> 00:10:35,490
So, set up for me. Finish on another iPhone. Okay.
134
00:10:41,010 –> 00:10:43,550
That’s nice that it transferred your voices.
135
00:10:49,810 –> 00:10:55,770
And I like with Verizon, this process is just automatic. It just activates my phone.
136
00:10:59,190 –> 00:11:03,850
So with Verizon, you just enter the number and it will work?
137
00:11:06,790 –> 00:11:14,110
Oh. Sorry, I’m having to mute voiceover, but I don’t want all that stuff going out. Understood.
138
00:11:15,450 –> 00:11:18,510
See, that’s awesome that it’s seamless. With a business account,
139
00:11:18,710 –> 00:11:21,770
it’s not seamless. Activating my iPhone.
140
00:11:23,990 –> 00:11:28,090
In progress. this. Activate an eSIM with connected iPhone to cellular network.
141
00:11:28,410 –> 00:11:29,650
This may take a few minutes.
142
00:11:30,050 –> 00:11:33,630
I wonder if it’s going to get both of my eSIMs. Really?
143
00:11:35,370 –> 00:11:39,630
Fascinating. Yeah, I’m a huge fan so far of this phone.
144
00:11:39,770 –> 00:11:47,150
This is a nice and you could definitely tell that the status bar is much bigger even with the notch.
145
00:11:47,550 –> 00:11:50,910
In my opinion. My view. The way I’m seeing this.
146
00:11:51,830 –> 00:11:55,430
I’m kind of excited to have a shiny phone again because Because it actually
147
00:11:55,430 –> 00:11:59,310
is very, you put it in the light and you can see it.
148
00:12:01,010 –> 00:12:05,590
Like, although the developer in me is now like, okay, are these new phones going
149
00:12:05,590 –> 00:12:08,410
to have new screenshot sizes I got to make?
150
00:12:08,550 –> 00:12:11,030
Oh no, I’m wondering that too.
151
00:12:12,290 –> 00:12:16,070
I mean, that’s fine. The one I want them to get rid of though is the iPhone 8 screen.
152
00:12:16,270 –> 00:12:21,130
8 or 8 Plus, I don’t remember which. They are going to get rid of them. About time.
153
00:12:21,910 –> 00:12:26,950
I heard something about it on Hacking with Swift Activate an easy mode connecting
154
00:12:26,950 –> 00:12:29,570
The cellular network This may take a few minutes.
155
00:12:32,390 –> 00:12:38,490
Yeah, I mean, I’m not doing Having to call Verizon or anything Is your carrier like that, Jeff?
156
00:12:39,030 –> 00:12:47,870
Yeah, I don’t have to call them Nope No Sorry, Jeff You just log in Oh, sorry Really, Jeff?
157
00:12:48,330 –> 00:12:52,650
Yeah, you just log in It knows your phone number and you tell it what carrier
158
00:12:52,650 –> 00:12:57,430
you have and sometimes it has you log in to your actual account,
159
00:12:59,110 –> 00:13:03,570
and then it just seems to figure it out that you’re already a customer.
160
00:13:03,950 –> 00:13:07,530
When I had my business account, I actually had to call Verizon,
161
00:13:09,024 –> 00:13:12,824
So, that was a pain in the butt. Button data and privacy. This icon appears
162
00:13:12,824 –> 00:13:14,064
when an Apple feature has to continue.
163
00:13:14,424 –> 00:13:17,484

00:13:42,784 –> 00:13:45,684
a podcast last night without using voice over
171
00:13:45,684 –> 00:13:52,244
it just made like a beep sound and it just right that was interesting which
172
00:13:52,244 –> 00:13:57,824
is yeah wearing a mask iphone can recognize the face id and use face id with

00:13:57,824 –> 00:14:01,624

Cap F. Face ID has been set up to verify your identity but not require that
178
00:14:14,184 –> 00:14:15,344
you look at iPhone to authenticate.
179
00:14:15,644 –> 00:14:18,224
This can’t be changed in Face ID and passcode settings. See,
180
00:14:18,324 –> 00:14:21,924
I have to have this because I can’t look right at my iPhone. Hey, button.

So, transfer from iCloud or transfer from other iPhone? I went to other options.

Don’t transfer anything.
186
00:14:55,629 –> 00:14:59,549
I can’t believe you do that. There’s no way.
187
00:15:00,989 –> 00:15:04,189
Too much crap on my phone. I mean, too much stuff on my phone.
188
00:15:06,209 –> 00:15:07,589
Some might call it that, though.
189
00:15:11,129 –> 00:15:14,949
Oh, voiceovers having problems? Don’t transfer anything. Button.
190
00:15:15,589 –> 00:15:16,549
Don’t transfer anything.
191
00:15:19,769 –> 00:15:22,869

00:15:47,569 –> 00:15:50,249
Interesting. I need to add a bunch of my stuff back. You know,
198
00:15:50,289 –> 00:15:52,729
that doesn’t transfer, though, a lot of times.
199
00:15:53,629 –> 00:15:58,849
We’re gonna yep i found that a lot of stuff from your walk like your state id does not transfer
200
00:15:59,289 –> 00:16:04,409
i don’t have that yeah we don’t have that here in texas yeah i think california
201
00:16:04,409 –> 00:16:11,029
just got it arizona has it hawaii i forget where else there’s a few other states.
202
00:16:12,909 –> 00:16:15,609
Isn’t that interesting i wonder why they
203
00:16:15,609 –> 00:16:18,369
don’t transfer your i mean if you’ve authenticated with it it
204
00:16:18,369 –> 00:16:21,469
should transfer your state id i don’t understand maybe for because it’s
205
00:16:21,469 –> 00:16:24,209
a i don’t know i don’t know
206
00:16:24,209 –> 00:16:27,989
why they don’t do that inquiring minds
207
00:16:27,989 –> 00:16:30,629
yeah i know i just want to
208
00:16:30,629 –> 00:16:33,309
know when we can get it well it won’t be long
209
00:16:33,309 –> 00:16:36,089
now i mean if california did it it’s probably not
210
00:16:36,089 –> 00:16:39,609
going to be long now before you guys get it i hope
211
00:16:39,609 –> 00:16:44,349
not i mean michigan already had it but yeah it’s
212
00:16:44,349 –> 00:16:47,409
not the easiest thing to set up by the way no it’s very
213
00:16:47,409 –> 00:16:50,369
very very very hard yeah it’s not it’s not
214
00:16:50,369 –> 00:16:53,329
no it’s very very hard i don’t
215
00:16:53,329 –> 00:16:56,109
understand like if you have a chip in it you should it should be
216
00:16:56,109 –> 00:16:58,989
able to do it like your credit card which by
217
00:16:58,989 –> 00:17:03,349
the way have any of you done that yet with the new ios i have that is that is
218
00:17:03,349 –> 00:17:08,309
magical is what that is pay to cash no no no no but they’re just adding a card
219
00:17:08,309 –> 00:17:12,949
to your phone oh well there’s also that tap to cash so i wasn’t sure what you’re
220
00:17:12,949 –> 00:17:18,789
talking about but it’s amazing like you just hold the remember before where you had to scan the card,
221
00:17:19,349 –> 00:17:22,469
right you’d hold the card up to the camera and you’d scan the card remember.
222
00:17:23,949 –> 00:17:28,829
You don’t do that anymore all you do is you if it has a chip in it you just
223
00:17:28,829 –> 00:17:34,689
hold the chip up to the nfc sensor and it just goes and then it asks for your
224
00:17:34,689 –> 00:17:38,809
ccb code you’re done it’s amazing here we go.
225
00:17:47,389 –> 00:17:51,869

00:18:23,785 –> 00:18:24,665
it can’t connect to cellular.

240
00:18:46,245 –> 00:18:50,085
Yeah. I mean, normally that takes a while.
241
00:18:54,025 –> 00:18:57,825
Cellular one? You know, at least a little bit more time. Like it would say,
242
00:18:58,185 –> 00:19:00,585
you know, please wait, activating or whatever.
243
00:19:01,305 –> 00:19:04,925
Set up cellular one, Michael. Oh, set up cellular and then one.
244
00:19:05,445 –> 00:19:07,845
Yes. I don’t know. Confused.
245
00:19:09,245 –> 00:19:12,045
Oh, I thought it meant cellular one, like the network. Yeah,
246
00:19:12,045 –> 00:19:17,305
that’s what I was like. No, it said set up cellular, left parenthesis one,
247
00:19:17,525 –> 00:19:19,425
right parenthesis. That’s not what it said.
248
00:19:19,705 –> 00:19:22,445
That’s not what it said. It said set up cellular one.
249
00:19:23,085 –> 00:19:26,665
Oh, that’s not what I heard. I heard set up cellular one.
250
00:19:27,685 –> 00:19:32,385
Well, either way, it was confusing. Not for me. Cellular right now, Michael?
251
00:19:33,485 –> 00:19:39,625
You don’t have cellular right now? I think it was setting up for my other sim. Oh.
252
00:19:42,225 –> 00:19:47,825
So we’re just it’s just doing that real quick so does that mean your 15 pro
253
00:19:47,825 –> 00:19:52,825
max is not on the verizon network anymore nope it is that’s correct that’s right
254
00:19:52,825 –> 00:19:56,885
it just got overridden yeah dang,
255
00:19:58,905 –> 00:20:04,545
yeah you can’t you can’t share the device on two networks right that’d be cool
256
00:20:04,545 –> 00:20:06,345
if you could though indeed,
257
00:20:07,185 –> 00:20:15,025
yep I mean you can have two multiple numbers but it’s not the same yeah okay.
258
00:20:18,135 –> 00:20:23,595
Let me go through my cellular setup, picking which ones I want to be used for what. Okay.
259
00:20:24,515 –> 00:20:27,155
VoiceOver alert. VoiceOver would like to send you notifications.

Allow. Button. Settings.
261
00:20:30,875 –> 00:20:37,215
I feel like, and y’all may say I’m cuckoo, or our good old friend Jason might,
262
00:20:38,015 –> 00:20:42,695
I feel like VoiceOver starting up and just moving through things is a little
263
00:20:42,695 –> 00:20:45,075
more snappy on here. I don’t know.
264
00:20:45,875 –> 00:20:52,075
Like, I feel like the way that it just turns on and just starts working is a little more snappy.
265
00:20:53,115 –> 00:20:54,155
Definitely, Michael.
266
00:20:58,755 –> 00:21:01,535
I think it’s too early to tell.
267
00:21:09,115 –> 00:21:15,275
If I disagree with you. It does seem like that, but. connected.
268

for listening to this episode of the Accidental Tech Initiative. Hello, everybody.
276
00:22:08,675 –> 00:22:11,475
I think the true test for me once you get a bunch of apps loaded and stuff.
277
00:22:13,375 –> 00:22:15,615
You know what I mean? Yep. cast episode.
278
00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:27,600
Music.
279
00:22:28,444 –> 00:22:29,664
This episode has chapters.
280
00:22:31,804 –> 00:22:35,364
All right, I’m Michael Jones, and yet again, I’m here with Taylor.
281
00:22:35,364 –> 00:22:39,024
That sounds really good. I just did this yesterday, Taylor. Apple Watch announcements.
282
00:22:39,404 –> 00:22:44,484
Yeah, I really think we did. I mean, gosh, today’s been a great day.
283
00:22:44,504 –> 00:22:45,784
This episode has chapters.
284
00:22:46,004 –> 00:22:49,544
This episode has chapters. This episode has chapters.
285
00:22:49,584 –> 00:22:54,104
Maybe you should use that and use it in your next podcast or even video.
286
00:22:56,564 –> 00:22:57,824
That’s pretty nice, guys.
287
00:23:02,904 –> 00:23:07,164
Do you think it’s louder than the other phone? I feel like it’s clearer,
288
00:23:07,364 –> 00:23:09,324
honestly. I feel like it’s slightly clearer.
289
00:23:09,644 –> 00:23:12,824
Maybe not louder. I mean, we can find out.
290
00:23:13,764 –> 00:23:18,124
Yes, that was a new accidental one. I don’t know how you would tell that.
291
00:23:20,024 –> 00:23:29,184
We’ll go with that. So today was a very amazing event and pretty exciting stuff. It does.
292
00:23:29,364 –> 00:23:33,304
Yeah. It’s not distorting at all. No, that’s max volume too.
293
00:23:33,784 –> 00:23:35,444
Wow. That’s pretty good.
294
00:23:37,244 –> 00:23:46,304
So I guess the next way for us to really test this thing is I’m going to go
295
00:23:46,304 –> 00:23:48,184
to the app store and I’m going to download the zoom app.
296
00:23:49,064 –> 00:23:52,264
App well now supposedly there’s these new audio profiles
297
00:23:52,264 –> 00:23:55,244
for recording do you know how you enable or disable those
298
00:23:55,244 –> 00:23:58,084
i do not i know that
299
00:23:58,084 –> 00:24:01,784
there’s stuff in the voice memos app for this but
300
00:24:01,784 –> 00:24:04,924
yeah huh that’s interesting
301
00:24:04,924 –> 00:24:07,684
jonathan when he did his
302
00:24:07,684 –> 00:24:10,664
podcast did not show the different profiles he just
303
00:24:10,664 –> 00:24:13,464
showed recording like audio video and he showed
304
00:24:13,464 –> 00:24:17,564
recording audio and audio with stereo yeah and
305
00:24:17,564 –> 00:24:20,764
then a video right i think so yeah
306
00:24:20,764 –> 00:24:23,764
yeah yeah yeah i didn’t i didn’t hear about the video oh the
307
00:24:23,764 –> 00:24:26,684
video was amazing you guys should go back and listen to that the video was
308
00:24:26,684 –> 00:24:33,584
amazing like the audio for that was really interesting it sounded better okay
309
00:24:33,584 –> 00:24:39,944
voice memo should already be on your phone isn’t it should be hold on a minute
310
00:24:39,944 –> 00:24:46,324
we’ve got a new member i think Michael on his iPhone.
311
00:24:47,084 –> 00:24:48,904
So I’m going to go ahead and let him in.
312
00:24:51,024 –> 00:24:55,604
Hello, Michael. Michael. Hello.
313
00:24:56,464 –> 00:25:00,644
Hello. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
314
00:25:03,642 –> 00:25:07,202
That that’s really good
315
00:25:07,202 –> 00:25:12,942
quality oh really guys
316
00:25:12,942 –> 00:25:20,242
that’s me on my eye my iphone mic oh well you know considering i’m on aftershock
317
00:25:20,242 –> 00:25:25,122
it sounded distorted initially yeah because i was too close but it seems like
318
00:25:25,122 –> 00:25:29,582
it’s podcast worth talk again michael this is a test,
319
00:25:31,542 –> 00:25:36,482
now if you go up if you go into the control where would that be i think it’d
320
00:25:36,482 –> 00:25:40,642
be in the control center and double tap and hold on the microphone do you have
321
00:25:40,642 –> 00:25:46,042
options there working on it let’s see,
322
00:25:48,002 –> 00:25:54,802
i gotta see where they move that oh that’s weird when you catch my background it sounds strange,
323
00:25:55,702 –> 00:26:01,102
change it sure does it doesn’t sound much different to me michael can you hear
324
00:26:01,102 –> 00:26:06,682
a difference michael b he’s not doesn’t have audio michael b is not here is
325
00:26:06,682 –> 00:26:12,702
he oh i thought you said michael was here no oh okay that michael joined with
326
00:26:12,702 –> 00:26:15,102
his phone oh that’s right that’s right okay okay,
327
00:26:15,622 –> 00:26:19,902
but now i’m paranoid i was a little confused i’m sorry hold on.
328
00:26:22,802 –> 00:26:28,462
Yeah he wasn’t in the waiting room i was like oh no no i got confused when you said michael,
329
00:26:29,102 –> 00:26:32,482
because i heard his voice already i’m like wait is there another michael coming
330
00:26:32,482 –> 00:26:38,362
sorry michael’s iphone i understand that now yes i got it sorry sorry it’s late
331
00:26:38,362 –> 00:26:42,622
in the day here you know no jeff i hate to break the news to you but it’s later here,
332
00:26:44,682 –> 00:26:50,602
it’s 740 this is standard okay what this is automatic.
333
00:26:52,802 –> 00:26:58,282
It’s not letting me change anything other than those do you have to turn on
334
00:26:58,282 –> 00:27:02,522
high fidelity you know in zoom settings i would but.
335
00:27:04,606 –> 00:27:06,726
I’m on speakers on my iPhone.
336
00:27:08,746 –> 00:27:14,306
Okay. This is video and audio. Well, Oh, wow. Wow.
337
00:27:15,566 –> 00:27:21,006
That’s picking up the speaker from something. Oh yeah.
338
00:27:21,806 –> 00:27:24,846
It would. Cause you’re on two devices, right?
339
00:27:25,346 –> 00:27:32,646
Yes. But I’m muted on that. That audio and video is like, is that coming from
340
00:27:32,646 –> 00:27:34,166
the iPhone or is that coming from it?
341
00:27:34,166 –> 00:27:37,606
Picking up the other device it’s picking up itself oh that’s
342
00:27:37,606 –> 00:27:42,186
not good well that’s audio and video that’s like what do they call it in zoom
343
00:27:42,186 –> 00:27:50,866
oh i see no that’s yeah yeah yeah i get it okay and this is standard now i’m
344
00:27:50,866 –> 00:27:56,186
on standard standard yep you can tell the difference yes,
345
00:27:56,766 –> 00:27:58,146
and you’re still echoing back
346
00:27:58,146 –> 00:28:05,126
that’s interesting am i uh-huh not now it seems it’s interesting Yeah.
347
00:28:05,606 –> 00:28:09,066
I wonder if they have to configure that at some point.
348
00:28:09,506 –> 00:28:12,646
That may be a Zoom issue, right? Because this could be that they’re not tuning
349
00:28:12,646 –> 00:28:15,026
to the new hardware. Yeah.
350
00:28:15,706 –> 00:28:19,226
I think it sounds better than my previous phone. Huh.
351
00:28:19,826 –> 00:28:23,366
It definitely has different audio characteristics when you change modes, though.
352
00:28:23,926 –> 00:28:28,246
Let’s find out. Hang on. No, it does. I’ll be right back.
353
00:28:29,166 –> 00:28:33,506
Okay, so I think Michael is switching to his old phone now. I am, yes. Mm-hmm.
354
00:28:34,466 –> 00:28:37,086
Oh, this is so neat. This is kind of fun to test.
355
00:28:39,726 –> 00:28:41,326
Fascinating. Isn’t it?
356
00:28:43,946 –> 00:28:46,966
I thought the cameras would look slightly different on the new one.
357
00:28:47,406 –> 00:28:53,146
They don’t. They feel a little different, but I don’t know how to explain that. Okay. Coming in.
358
00:28:54,106 –> 00:28:59,186
Do you need to be back in the meeting? Yeah, he’s coming in on his iPhone. Okay.
359
00:29:00,654 –> 00:29:06,034
Should i let you back in sure i will okay this
360
00:29:06,034 –> 00:29:10,534
is on my older phone oh wow that does sound different it does sound different
361
00:29:10,534 –> 00:29:15,594
yeah wow i can’t really tell which was better though i almost have to do them
362
00:29:15,594 –> 00:29:21,114
side by side you’d almost have to like i i honestly like the sound of the newer one it i feel,
363
00:29:22,394 –> 00:29:26,594
like this has too many lows in it this has
364
00:29:26,594 –> 00:29:30,114
too many lows in it i think you sound brighter on the other one yes i
365
00:29:30,114 –> 00:29:33,034
feel brighter i hear i hear
366
00:29:33,034 –> 00:29:35,774
artifacts not to mention more intelligent by the way
367
00:29:35,774 –> 00:29:39,014
i hear artifacts on
368
00:29:39,014 –> 00:29:45,554
this one on the 15 yes i can’t tell can you change to video mode in this one
369
00:29:45,554 –> 00:29:53,254
yep like like that my s’s are very artifacty on this yeah you can definitely
370
00:29:53,254 –> 00:29:56,054
hear them and you You could not on the other one.
371
00:29:56,814 –> 00:29:59,134
Okay. Let’s see what the video sounds like.
372
00:30:00,514 –> 00:30:06,614
Working on that. Let’s see. Trying to remember how to change that.
373
00:30:07,674 –> 00:30:09,554
That may not be possible in the old one.
374
00:30:10,654 –> 00:30:13,794
Here we go. Standard. Okay.
375
00:30:15,014 –> 00:30:20,414
Yeah, it’s more artifact-y. Yeah, you can hear it. It’s like a buggy sound.
376
00:30:21,414 –> 00:30:27,354
Yeah, I feel like the delay is less. on this phone with these microphone modes
377
00:30:27,354 –> 00:30:35,514
but it’s definitely not as good oh you sound very artifacting now yeah okay
378
00:30:35,514 –> 00:30:38,374
go go to this is voice isolation isolation.
379
00:30:40,294 –> 00:30:44,894
Testing one two yeah do you have video on this one,
380
00:30:46,274 –> 00:30:53,314
audio and video yeah it does not sound nearly as good as your new one but we’re not hearing the
381
00:30:53,354 –> 00:30:56,714
echo coming back either are you not now yeah
382
00:30:56,714 –> 00:31:00,474
which is different yeah i mean we’re
383
00:31:00,474 –> 00:31:03,254
hearing the echo of your room but we’re not hearing voices coming back at
384
00:31:03,254 –> 00:31:06,314
us okay hmm that’s interesting and
385
00:31:06,314 –> 00:31:10,554
i wonder maybe if it was how i was holding the phone earlier that’s possible
386
00:31:10,554 –> 00:31:18,794
that’s very interesting yeah okay well cool so overall do you like it let me
387
00:31:18,794 –> 00:31:23,994
oh man michael he left Okay, so…
388
00:31:24,934 –> 00:31:29,814
What do you want now? You’re on the new phone now? I’m on my iPad with my profile microphone.
389
00:31:30,314 –> 00:31:34,034
Got it, okay, okay. I just never left on this device. Right,
390
00:31:34,034 –> 00:31:35,994
right. I’m wondering if it was hearing that.
391
00:31:36,794 –> 00:31:38,654
I had it muted, and I’m wearing headphones.
392
00:31:39,574 –> 00:31:43,354
Okay, so no, okay. Like, I’m wearing my Beats headphones, and I had the microphone
393
00:31:43,354 –> 00:31:44,614
muted, so… Okay, okay.
394
00:31:46,503 –> 00:31:49,463
Like the sound of the of the new iphone a
395
00:31:49,463 –> 00:31:52,423
lot better i you know they say
396
00:31:52,423 –> 00:31:55,423
the new microphones are studio quality and
397
00:31:55,423 –> 00:31:58,543
they do remind me a bit more of what is on the
398
00:31:58,543 –> 00:32:03,883
mac like the mac quality microphones on the new phone well there’s some weird
399
00:32:03,883 –> 00:32:07,263
mode though where you can put it in studio quality mode i wonder what that’s
400
00:32:07,263 –> 00:32:10,843
all about like how does i don’t know if all of that’s there yet or not you know
401
00:32:10,843 –> 00:32:16,163
no so i heard a pod i heard a youtube video where a guy did that oh i just but I don’t know.
402
00:32:16,263 –> 00:32:20,603
I bet you, I bet you it’s in, I bet you have to be shooting video though.
403
00:32:20,683 –> 00:32:23,323
Like I bet you probably do. Yeah. I bet you do.
404
00:32:23,703 –> 00:32:25,663
Yeah. Those are interesting. Huh?
405
00:32:26,643 –> 00:32:32,803
If you push the camera button right now, what does it do? If it was voiceover on, let’s find out.
406
00:32:33,683 –> 00:32:37,103
And can you like slide your finger and have it? I think Jonathan,
407
00:32:37,683 –> 00:32:40,763
let’s see what happens. They didn’t really cover much of that yesterday.
408
00:32:40,883 –> 00:32:43,583
They did a little bit. They did a little bit. They finally got it working,
409
00:32:43,663 –> 00:32:45,163
but they had to swipe a little firmer.
410
00:32:45,783 –> 00:32:47,743
Okay, so let’s see what happens.
411
00:32:48,463 –> 00:32:51,263
So I’m going to, I’m holding the camera.
412
00:32:52,343 –> 00:32:57,023
Camera, alert. Allow camera to know your location. Allow when using, allow once.
413
00:32:57,643 –> 00:33:01,203
Precise, allow once. Precise, but allow when using app.
414
00:33:02,243 –> 00:33:06,203
Camera, try it. Photographic styles. Personalize how you appear in photograph.
415
00:33:06,643 –> 00:33:09,223
Set up later. Button, set up later. What is that?
416
00:33:10,123 –> 00:33:17,303
It’s photographic style, so you can pick which kind of camera style you want. I like warm.
417
00:33:19,043 –> 00:33:23,663
Wait, did the iPhone used to tell you when you were tilting your phone? I don’t remember that.
418
00:33:26,623 –> 00:33:34,683
I was telling me if it’s level or not. Did the old phone do that? I don’t remember. No.
419
00:33:35,743 –> 00:33:37,043
I don’t think it did.
420
00:33:38,443 –> 00:33:41,583
Can you grab your 15 there, Michael, real quick? Sure.
421
00:33:42,403 –> 00:33:46,783
I don’t think it did that before. I think it did, but I’m not sure.
422
00:33:46,883 –> 00:33:49,723
No, I think it did face detection, but I don’t think it told you…
423
00:33:52,796 –> 00:33:56,376
I mean, I’m happy to be. Oops. Camera.
424
00:33:56,996 –> 00:34:01,176
Oh, it does. Yeah. Oh. Actions available.
425
00:34:02,076 –> 00:34:04,576
What’s that? That’s interesting. That’s the level indicator.
426
00:34:05,396 –> 00:34:08,136
So, okay. Yeah. So, I guess I did do that. Okay. I just forgot.
427
00:34:09,376 –> 00:34:11,716
That shows how many times I take pictures, right?
428
00:34:13,476 –> 00:34:14,956
Which I don’t do a lot of.
429
00:34:19,336 –> 00:34:19,696
Interesting.
430
00:34:22,716 –> 00:34:25,696
Adjustable why is it making a sound on that phone and
431
00:34:25,696 –> 00:34:29,276
not on the new one 0.5 times 0 2
432
00:34:29,276 –> 00:34:32,776
times 3.6 5.7 nice
433
00:34:32,776 –> 00:34:35,636
9 times 13.5 times
434
00:34:35,636 –> 00:34:38,436
17.4 times you know you should do you
435
00:34:38,436 –> 00:34:41,356
should do a podcast on this and talk about what these
436
00:34:41,356 –> 00:34:44,576
different levels mean like because i don’t
437
00:34:44,576 –> 00:34:47,536
know that many people understand what these
438
00:34:47,536 –> 00:34:50,496
different zoom levels mean or correspond to like
439
00:34:50,496 –> 00:34:53,876
where would you use where would you use 17 versus 25 or
440
00:34:53,876 –> 00:34:56,636
where would you use six versus nine or do you
441
00:34:56,636 –> 00:34:59,856
understand what i’m saying i think it’d be fun to do a whole podcast like dedicated
442
00:34:59,856 –> 00:35:07,356
to iphoneography uh-huh you know yeah i i really like this phone of course the
443
00:35:07,356 –> 00:35:10,476
one thing i’m going to turn off that’s going to drive me crazy is tapped away
444
00:35:10,476 –> 00:35:16,136
or is raised to wake i do not like that feature no i turn that off too that
445
00:35:16,136 –> 00:35:18,996
should automatically be turned off if you transferred your settings though it should.
446
00:35:19,096 –> 00:35:21,876
Be but it kept trying to face id me whenever it doesn’t normally
447
00:35:21,876 –> 00:35:26,016
do that so well that’s interesting yeah so
448
00:35:26,016 –> 00:35:32,416
all right well congratulations sir thank you yeah good phone i so when are you
449
00:35:32,416 –> 00:35:36,036
coming back to do the airpods pro now that’s going to be harder to do a youtube
450
00:35:36,036 –> 00:35:42,916
for oh yeah airpods for yeah sorry i’ll do an unboxing of that and and we’ll
451
00:35:42,916 –> 00:35:44,996
do conversations and talk
452
00:35:45,056 –> 00:35:47,896
about it and you can at least get on zoom or something
453
00:35:47,896 –> 00:35:50,676
with it yeah and then i will what i’ll do is i’ll get
454
00:35:50,676 –> 00:35:54,356
on the microphones on there and let people hear how they sound yeah
455
00:35:54,356 –> 00:35:58,656
i don’t think they’re going to sound any different from the airpods pro 2 oh
456
00:35:58,656 –> 00:36:03,736
i think they might i think they could i want to know if they have the gestures
457
00:36:03,736 –> 00:36:07,096
for like turning up and down the volume and things so that’s not i believe they
458
00:36:07,096 –> 00:36:11,436
do you you know and one thing i’ve gotten to love is nodding yes
459
00:36:11,836 –> 00:36:17,476
to answer or shaking your head no although you got to do a pretty hardcore you
460
00:36:17,476 –> 00:36:20,976
got to shake your head pretty hard though for the no you got to shake it off
461
00:36:20,976 –> 00:36:25,016
you know if you know what i mean yeah shake it yeah thanks taylor swift.
462
00:36:28,381 –> 00:36:31,421
Well we caught her we caught her you know
463
00:36:31,421 –> 00:36:35,101
okay that was rather swift of us yeah now
464
00:36:35,101 –> 00:36:38,461
we’re gonna get a copyright violation because we mentioned taylor swift three
465
00:36:38,461 –> 00:36:41,261
times we didn’t play any music so we’re good can you
466
00:36:41,261 –> 00:36:44,361
sing for us taylor no no okay
467
00:36:44,361 –> 00:36:47,121
all right all right everybody this has
468
00:36:47,121 –> 00:36:52,841
been a good podcast you get to see what the phone is like i get the fun times
469
00:36:52,841 –> 00:36:57,661
of setting everything up the way i want oh god all the passwords uh it it does
470
00:36:57,661 –> 00:37:03,501
a lot of that for you it does pull all of that no all of them trust me but i’m
471
00:37:03,501 –> 00:37:07,101
pretty excited i’m going to go and get everything set up,
472
00:37:07,701 –> 00:37:11,921
and have a lot of fun doing it because i do actually enjoy that so i do not
473
00:37:11,921 –> 00:37:16,521
enjoy it yeah it’s a very painful process and it takes forever yeah and you
474
00:37:16,521 –> 00:37:18,921
got to redo all your folders and oh Good luck with all that.
475
00:37:19,161 –> 00:37:20,761
I don’t use folders. I don’t have any apps.
476
00:37:21,921 –> 00:37:23,621
I do. I live and die by folders.
477
00:37:25,241 –> 00:37:30,721
Honestly, I could probably get rid of all the apps on my home screen and just
478
00:37:30,721 –> 00:37:34,841
use Spotlight and the, what do they call that thing?
479
00:37:35,641 –> 00:37:39,341
App library? App library, yeah. Nope, nope, nope, nope, not me.
480
00:37:39,881 –> 00:37:43,021
Oh, yeah, I can do the same thing. Nope.
481
00:37:44,281 –> 00:37:46,921
That’s not the way Jeff rolls. so that’s what you
482
00:37:46,921 –> 00:37:50,521
should do jeff is no one have each page with
483
00:37:50,521 –> 00:37:53,341
one app icon and you only have 13
484
00:37:53,341 –> 00:37:56,641
pages though they haven’t changed that no
485
00:37:56,641 –> 00:38:02,301
wow and you would know and i would know because i’ve got like 1400 apps on my
486
00:38:02,301 –> 00:38:06,241
phone see what happens when you have 1400 apps and then widgets you want to
487
00:38:06,241 –> 00:38:12,301
use what happens then you’re just i i’m very selective on my widgets yeah but
488
00:38:12,301 –> 00:38:14,461
how do you Do you have 13 pages, Jeff?
489
00:38:15,061 –> 00:38:20,601
No, I have three pages, and I have folders. Folders, yeah. Folders, yeah.
490
00:38:21,641 –> 00:38:28,561
I’ve got like four or five games folders. I’ve got 126. Oh, no, no. I have 130.
491
00:38:29,501 –> 00:38:32,861
Well, what’s nine times 13? I don’t know.
492
00:38:36,821 –> 00:38:40,781
Math is hard right now. I’m sorry. Jeff, if you have all those app folders,
493
00:38:40,981 –> 00:38:43,621
you know what you should do? all those game folders, you know what you should do, right?
494
00:38:45,261 –> 00:38:48,461
I need to get rid of a bunch is what I should need to do. Well,
495
00:38:48,461 –> 00:38:52,041
before you get rid of them, write a little bit about their accessibility and
496
00:38:52,041 –> 00:38:55,141
put them in the app directory. Oh, my God. That would take me like a month.
497
00:38:55,701 –> 00:38:58,521
That would take me forever. If I went through all the apps on my phone,
498
00:38:58,641 –> 00:39:02,981
see, now this would prove which ones I use and which ones I haven’t opened in
499
00:39:02,981 –> 00:39:04,461
probably five years, right? Right.
500
00:39:05,781 –> 00:39:08,321
That would be embarrassing. But see, that’s one of the reasons.
501
00:39:08,441 –> 00:39:10,941
That’s one of the reasons. You’ve never opened this app ever.
502
00:39:11,241 –> 00:39:14,341
That’s one of the reasons why I don’t transfer apps is because…
503
00:39:15,261 –> 00:39:20,801
I want all of my apps, I want it to be like a fresh new start, right?
504
00:39:20,961 –> 00:39:24,901
Well, I’ve gotten rid of a lot of my apps off of my phone.
505
00:39:25,601 –> 00:39:27,161
Like, I go through spurts where
506
00:39:27,161 –> 00:39:30,421
I’ll just spend a day and I’ll get rid of 200 or 300 apps off my phone.
507
00:39:30,561 –> 00:39:33,841
In fact, it’s about time I do that. Maybe I’ll do that this weekend. We’ll see.
508
00:39:35,221 –> 00:39:39,301
In preparation to transfer to the next phone. We’ll see. I don’t know.
509
00:39:39,841 –> 00:39:42,141
I’m getting a new phone because I can’t really develop right now.
510
00:39:42,141 –> 00:39:43,201
When? When are you getting it?
511
00:39:44,081 –> 00:39:47,121
Hopefully to tomorrow we may
512
00:39:47,121 –> 00:39:50,801
