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

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,

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

Oh, voiceovers having problems? Don’t transfer anything. Button.

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

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

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

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

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

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
order it tomorrow we might they have

513
00:39:50,801 –> 00:39:53,841
them in the stores when my friend my friend paul

514
00:39:53,841 –> 00:39:57,441
went he and his wife went and his

515
00:39:57,441 –> 00:40:00,441
appointment was for saturday but he went today and

516
00:40:00,441 –> 00:40:03,101
they got right in it was a little bit of a line but not

517
00:40:03,101 –> 00:40:06,041
much and they bought a new watch for

518
00:40:06,041 –> 00:40:09,401
his wife and supposedly it’s very dainty looking

519
00:40:09,401 –> 00:40:12,461
very thin it looks really super

520
00:40:12,461 –> 00:40:16,201
nice apparently i think she got the sapphire one

521
00:40:16,201 –> 00:40:19,201
the not sapphire the help me

522
00:40:19,201 –> 00:40:25,201
michael the titanium yeah the titanium thank you because she always scratches

523
00:40:25,201 –> 00:40:28,661
her screen so but apparently it looks really really nice and it’s very very

524
00:40:28,661 –> 00:40:37,481
light and then paul and her both got iphone 16 pros 256.

525
00:40:39,801 –> 00:40:45,761
And yeah, so they spent some money at the Apple store today. Sounds like it. Yeah.

526
00:40:47,647 –> 00:40:51,327
Over to the T-Mobile or AT&T or something store and look at the new phones.

527
00:40:51,407 –> 00:40:53,347
I want to go, I want to go touch it.

528
00:40:53,547 –> 00:40:56,127
What carrier do you have Jeff? T-Mobile.

529
00:40:56,907 –> 00:41:00,647

Hello, everybody, and YouTube. Well, everybody and YouTube.

2
00:00:04,757 –> 00:00:08,217
Oh, that’s interesting. Welcome to another IACast episode.

3
00:00:08,880 –> 00:00:24,080
Music.

4
00:00:22,937 –> 00:00:28,157
Episode. All right, I’m Michael Doeys, and yet again, I’m here with Taylor Arndt.

5
00:00:28,297 –> 00:00:30,317
Feels like we just did this yesterday, Taylor.

6
00:00:31,377 –> 00:00:36,597
Yeah, I really think we did. I mean, gosh, today’s been a crazy

7
00:00:36,757 –> 00:00:40,177
day it has been non-stop and

8
00:00:40,177 –> 00:00:43,317
crazy action you michael maybe you should use that

9
00:00:43,317 –> 00:00:47,617
and youtube thing in your next podcast greeting because you always you know

10
00:00:47,617 –> 00:00:55,897
want to change it up yes that was a new accidental one so we’ll go with that

11
00:00:55,897 –> 00:01:03,217
so today was a very amazing event and pretty exciting Exciting stuff was announced, I think.

12
00:01:04,037 –> 00:01:10,897
Wouldn’t you say? I mean, was. Okay, so yesterday we did our podcast called It’s Pre-Glow Time.

13
00:01:11,357 –> 00:01:13,457
Today, it’s Post-Glow Time.

14
00:01:14,817 –> 00:01:18,577
And Apple had an event called It’s Glow Time.

15
00:01:19,137 –> 00:01:22,717
It did. I couldn’t find my mute button, so that was fun. Anyways.

16
00:01:22,937 –> 00:01:28,977
And Apple, do you know why it’s called Glow Time, Taylor? Is it because of the colors?

17
00:01:30,241 –> 00:01:36,041
It’s the colors of, you know, when you activate the new Siri, it glows.

18
00:01:36,161 –> 00:01:39,661
The rim of your phone glows. Oh, interesting.

19
00:01:40,401 –> 00:01:44,261
So that’s why it’s called it’s glow time because it uses a very similar animation.

20
00:01:44,561 –> 00:01:47,661
And they really did bring out the glow today.

21
00:01:48,941 –> 00:01:52,621
I’m pretty excited about this event. Oh, me too.

22
00:01:53,141 –> 00:01:56,801
So, Taylor, why were you excited? just as a we’ll go

23
00:01:56,801 –> 00:02:00,061
into all the details soon but why were

24
00:02:00,061 –> 00:02:02,901
you excited well y’all know my

25
00:02:02,901 –> 00:02:05,781
first thing ai a lot of

26
00:02:05,781 –> 00:02:11,301
ai today there’s also a new feature called visual intelligence where basically

27
00:02:11,301 –> 00:02:15,061
you could take a picture of something and it will tell you what it is like for

28
00:02:15,061 –> 00:02:18,841
example a restaurant menu right it could tell you you know all the different

29
00:02:18,841 –> 00:02:24,341
things about that or even like let’s say you have I don’t know, something you bought.

30
00:02:24,481 –> 00:02:27,981
I think they used a bike in the demo, right?

31
00:02:28,081 –> 00:02:31,521
But you’re like, oh, I want to see what this is. You could take a picture of

32
00:02:31,521 –> 00:02:32,941
it and then it would search the Google.

33
00:02:34,181 –> 00:02:41,461
Really? Search Google to find a suitable bike or item that you could buy.

34
00:02:41,521 –> 00:02:42,641
That’s the exact same thing.

35
00:02:42,941 –> 00:02:48,241
So a lot of different AI happening. And I love this. And a lot of it’s actually on your device.

36
00:02:48,841 –> 00:02:54,841
Of course, there’s other things too, mainly with like camera stuff.

37
00:02:54,981 –> 00:02:57,261
And now I want to talk about this for just a second, Michael.

38
00:02:57,321 –> 00:03:01,061
I don’t want to go on a huge tangent, but I’ve been seeing people in math and

39
00:03:01,061 –> 00:03:03,741
be like, oh, well, the camera stuff’s not very important to blind people.

40
00:03:03,981 –> 00:03:07,741
And sometimes it is. But the other thing that people have to realize is that

41
00:03:07,741 –> 00:03:11,901
a better camera means better scanning and OCR, optical character recognition

42
00:03:11,901 –> 00:03:13,101
for those who may not know.

43
00:03:13,341 –> 00:03:17,021
And that helps us to be able to recognize things better and maybe make the AI

44
00:03:17,021 –> 00:03:20,021
better for cameras Reservoir Register. I just want to put that PSA out there, folks.

45
00:03:21,203 –> 00:03:26,023
Yeah, so I guess to start us off, watches.

46
00:03:27,063 –> 00:03:34,943
Yes. So we got, really, we only got one new watch this time, right?

47
00:03:35,623 –> 00:03:43,543
We got the 10 in two different sizes. Yep. But we didn’t get an Ultra. We didn’t get an Ultra 3.

48
00:03:44,123 –> 00:03:49,003
That’s interesting because, like, I don’t know if the sources were incorrect

49
00:03:49,003 –> 00:03:50,063
on articles that I’ve read,

50
00:03:50,063 –> 00:03:53,623
but it basically said we got an ultra three so that’s very interesting folks

51
00:03:53,623 –> 00:03:59,663
no we did not get an ultra three we got an ultra two with a new color oh so

52
00:03:59,663 –> 00:04:01,183
that might be confusing for some,

53
00:04:01,903 –> 00:04:07,303
yeah so it’s the same watches last year but with a new black i think they’re

54
00:04:07,303 –> 00:04:13,203
calling it like a satin color finish so that’s that’s all we got that’s why

55
00:04:13,203 –> 00:04:16,783
why would they only do that because Because it’s a sports watch,

56
00:04:16,843 –> 00:04:18,403
it lasts a little longer,

57
00:04:18,623 –> 00:04:21,923
you know, it does a bit more than the other watches do.

58
00:04:23,043 –> 00:04:30,523
But I think the Apple Watch 10 looks really nice and it will do all the same features as before.

59
00:04:30,883 –> 00:04:37,963
We did not get word on the blood oxygen sensor, what’s going to happen with that.

60
00:04:38,303 –> 00:04:45,263
But we did find out that it does have sleep apnea detection with sensors, right? That is correct.

61
00:04:45,983 –> 00:04:49,623
There are new bands that you can look up and things like that,

62
00:04:49,783 –> 00:04:54,523
but new screens with new brightness.

63
00:04:55,143 –> 00:04:59,423
30% more than previous models with OLED.

64
00:05:00,103 –> 00:05:03,463
Yeah, and they look great. Very nice looking screens.

65
00:05:04,383 –> 00:05:07,823
And always on display with the one second refresh rate, if I remember correctly.

66
00:05:08,123 –> 00:05:11,443
Yeah, and that’s been the case on other watches, but I think they’re brighter.

67
00:05:11,443 –> 00:05:19,203
And okay now the interesting thing is the 10 does have an 18 hour battery life that they claim i i,

68
00:05:19,883 –> 00:05:25,423
want i think i want a 10 the problem is i’m so used to my ultras 36 hours of

69
00:05:25,423 –> 00:05:31,723
battery life i’m gonna miss that well i mean let’s break that down a little

70
00:05:31,723 –> 00:05:35,443
bit though because like i hate like sitting and you know charging stuff like

71
00:05:35,443 –> 00:05:39,643
it’s just annoying is the 10 worth it enough to

72
00:05:39,723 –> 00:05:43,903
do that because like you’re going from 18 to 36 that’s a half life and that

73
00:05:43,903 –> 00:05:50,363
18 is not even a full complaint complaint confirmed number yeah so i don’t know

74
00:05:50,363 –> 00:05:53,503
that i would even do that if i were you i understand you want the new features

75
00:05:53,503 –> 00:05:59,543
but is sacrificing battery life that worth it well and but that’s the question.

76
00:06:00,543 –> 00:06:04,803
You know, the funny thing is, I typically charge my watch every day if it can

77
00:06:04,803 –> 00:06:09,903
last that 24 hours, which my Series 7 used to do.

78
00:06:10,363 –> 00:06:15,283
Then that’s fine, and you can just put it on the charger for 30 minutes and you get 80% battery.

79
00:06:15,583 –> 00:06:19,283
So I’m wondering if that’s going to be enough for me, you know?

80
00:06:19,443 –> 00:06:22,343
I don’t know, Michael. Knowing you, I don’t know that it will be.

81
00:06:22,543 –> 00:06:28,223
Just being honest, like, I don’t… Yeah, I but I want the one of the cool features

82
00:06:28,223 –> 00:06:33,903
is the fact that the new watches will play audio out of the speaker in the music

83
00:06:33,903 –> 00:06:35,823
app and do a few things like that.

84
00:06:36,003 –> 00:06:40,723
We don’t know if that’s backwards ported on the new on the Ultra 2.

85
00:06:41,003 –> 00:06:44,763
The sleep apnea stuff is on the Ultra 2 and the 9.

86
00:06:45,343 –> 00:06:48,283
You wouldn’t just get an Ultra 2, would you? Would that be better?

87
00:06:48,623 –> 00:06:57,243
No, I don’t know that I would. I have an Ultra 1, and I like my Ultra 1, but it’s, I don’t know.

88
00:06:58,023 –> 00:07:01,983
It’s getting older, and there’s starting to be some things that the Ultra 2

89
00:07:01,983 –> 00:07:07,583
can do, and the Watch 10 can definitely do, that mine cannot do.

90
00:07:08,383 –> 00:07:12,243
So I think that I’m probably going to be upgrading.

91
00:07:13,103 –> 00:07:16,023
I just don’t know that a 10 is going to be enough for your battery life.

92
00:07:16,263 –> 00:07:19,763
That’s my only concern. And I don’t know. I don’t do a lot of work with my watch.

93
00:07:19,843 –> 00:07:23,763
I do a lot of workouts and fitness stuff mainly and notifications, so it might.

94
00:07:24,883 –> 00:07:29,303
But it just depends. So, you know, I mean, if I don’t like it,

95
00:07:29,343 –> 00:07:30,643
I could always send it back, you know?

96
00:07:30,703 –> 00:07:33,903
Yep. And get an Ultra or get some else. Yep.

97
00:07:35,863 –> 00:07:39,883
So, anything? I mean, I know that they have new watch faces, new watch bands.

98
00:07:41,243 –> 00:07:44,483
There’s the new Hermes Apple Watch Ultra bands. Yes.

99
00:07:45,636 –> 00:07:49,336
Did I miss anything that you mentioned in your article? I don’t think so.

100
00:07:49,376 –> 00:07:52,016
I don’t really have it open right now because I don’t want voiceover to come

101
00:07:52,016 –> 00:07:54,156
through the podcast. I’m just kind of doing everything from memory.

102
00:07:54,976 –> 00:08:01,356
So we know that it has additional, you know, the charging stuff that we mentioned,

103
00:08:01,436 –> 00:08:06,056
new screens, new rounded edges to make the screens bigger.

104
00:08:06,896 –> 00:08:10,076
And this is 10 years of Apple Watch, folks. It’s pretty exciting.

105
00:08:10,816 –> 00:08:14,756
Yes, it is 10 years of Apple Watch. So, yeah, very interesting.

106
00:08:14,756 –> 00:08:17,676
Thing i mean apple watches last a long

107
00:08:17,676 –> 00:08:20,416
time because remember when we were doing some stuff

108
00:08:20,416 –> 00:08:23,396
on discord or zoom one of our friends has series 2

109
00:08:23,396 –> 00:08:27,256
and it just gave out so like eight years i think it’s still running it’s just

110
00:08:27,256 –> 00:08:32,956
running very slow oh okay well yeah but i’m just saying like it can last a long

111
00:08:32,956 –> 00:08:39,416
time yes it can try to say apple watches can last a very long time so i don’t

112
00:08:39,416 –> 00:08:40,536
I don’t think I have anything else on my goal.

113
00:08:41,156 –> 00:08:45,196
Yeah, I mean, the watches are cool. They start at $399, I think.

114
00:08:45,936 –> 00:08:50,776
$399. The watch I won is $699, and the Ultra 2 is still $799.

115
00:08:52,036 –> 00:08:59,516
So, the Ultra 2 does not have the depth. The Watch 2 does not have.

116
00:08:59,816 –> 00:09:05,176
Let me start that. The Ultra 2 has the action button, whereas the other watches do not.

117
00:09:06,076 –> 00:09:10,596
But you want that, though, don’t you? Believe it or not, and it also has the

118
00:09:10,596 –> 00:09:13,856
advanced compass and GPS and all that stuff that is in the Ultra 2.

119
00:09:14,536 –> 00:09:18,476
Believe it or not, I have not used any of that stuff.

120
00:09:20,096 –> 00:09:25,916
Well, then yeah, go to a 10. I mean, the simpler, the cheaper, the better.

121
00:09:26,676 –> 00:09:30,496
Now, there’s not a new SE watch this year, is there? Not yet, no.

122
00:09:31,136 –> 00:09:35,696
Not yet, but there’s also, didn’t they upgrade from stainless steel to grade 5 titanium?

123
00:09:36,316 –> 00:09:42,316
Yeah, there is titanium, polished titanium, they say, on the new Apple Watch Series 10s.

124
00:09:42,716 –> 00:09:46,996
So I don’t know. We didn’t look to see if they have titanium and stainless steel.

125
00:09:47,216 –> 00:09:50,276
I imagine that they do because they have like 10 different colors.

126
00:09:52,536 –> 00:09:56,296
So, yeah, there’s still a lot to unpack from this.

127
00:09:57,616 –> 00:10:05,236
So let’s move on to AirPods. pods now Taylor with your situation with your ears

128
00:10:05,236 –> 00:10:10,156
did any of this interest you at all maybe a little bit just because like I love

129
00:10:10,156 –> 00:10:13,836
aftershocks but again you know I don’t know like.

130
00:10:16,190 –> 00:10:19,390
It’s kind of hard just because like i don’t know if they’ll fit and i don’t

131
00:10:19,390 –> 00:10:23,770
want the same thing that happened that you know earlier so i don’t know it’s

132
00:10:23,770 –> 00:10:26,210
gonna be kind of a maybe situation i,

133
00:10:26,730 –> 00:10:32,890
time will tell so they came out with airpods 4 and the airpods 4 with advanced

134
00:10:32,890 –> 00:10:38,630
noise cancellation they start at 129 i believe and 179 is the more expensive

135
00:10:38,630 –> 00:10:40,630
i picked up the anc versions

136
00:10:40,950 –> 00:10:47,710
the is it the 79 179 yeah it’s i guess advanced noise cancellation i think that’s

137
00:10:47,710 –> 00:10:51,850
what the a stands for yeah like what’s antsy yeah so you picked those up already

138
00:10:51,850 –> 00:10:55,530
were they already in pre-order yes they’re already up for pre-order so are the

139
00:10:55,530 –> 00:10:57,250
watches and they’ll be out on the 20th.

140
00:10:57,810 –> 00:11:00,510
Were the airpods it seems like they were

141
00:11:00,510 –> 00:11:03,170
cheaply priced or moderately priced is that right because that’s what

142
00:11:03,170 –> 00:11:06,010
i wrote well they’re moderately priced i mean

143
00:11:06,010 –> 00:11:08,950
there’s two levels of those you know i’m really

144
00:11:08,950 –> 00:11:11,630
excited about the the anc because they also have

145
00:11:11,630 –> 00:11:15,150
transparency and and with an open ear design no ear

146
00:11:15,150 –> 00:11:18,890
tips that’s kind of exciting to me yeah it

147
00:11:18,890 –> 00:11:21,990
is and i mean how are they going to fit all those different kinds

148
00:11:21,990 –> 00:11:25,210
of like small ear bigger ears i know they did the ml where

149
00:11:25,210 –> 00:11:28,310
they took a bunch of samples and things but time will

150
00:11:28,310 –> 00:11:31,150
tell folks but i did not like your

151
00:11:31,150 –> 00:11:34,870
tips because they fall off and they you know roll over well

152
00:11:34,870 –> 00:11:37,770
and these can still fall out of your ear these are more like the ear pods

153
00:11:37,770 –> 00:11:41,310
yeah i’m not sure which there

154
00:11:41,310 –> 00:11:44,090
was a rumor that they’d be no longer selling those and they

155
00:11:44,090 –> 00:11:47,510
still are so i’m happy to see that i know

156
00:11:47,510 –> 00:11:51,050
a couple of my friends would you know purchase like a whole bunch of them at

157
00:11:51,050 –> 00:11:54,910
once make sure they have those because they’re pretty valuable me personally

158
00:11:54,910 –> 00:12:04,210
i’m not really a fan so we have the we have the air AirPods Pro 4 and the 4 with ANC.

159
00:12:04,370 –> 00:12:07,310
We also got updates to the AirPods Pro.

160
00:12:07,970 –> 00:12:11,570
And that’s kind of exciting because they added a bunch of hearing features.

161
00:12:12,550 –> 00:12:17,670
With a hearing test. That’s really cool. A clinical hearing test.

162
00:12:18,470 –> 00:12:22,230
And a few other hearing features. But I think the coolest thing that they added

163
00:12:22,230 –> 00:12:28,270
was the hearing aid features that’s coming out later this year.

164
00:12:28,270 –> 00:12:30,570
That will make the AirPods into a hearing aid.

165
00:12:32,370 –> 00:12:36,790
So, does that mean the hearing aid business has been basically disrupted?

166
00:12:37,966 –> 00:12:43,006
Pretty much, because the neat thing about these is they’re headphones.

167
00:12:44,106 –> 00:12:47,846
So instead of it looking weird to have a hearing aid in your ear,

168
00:12:47,966 –> 00:12:50,366
they’re more accepted because, like, oh, well, everybody’s wearing headphones,

169
00:12:50,526 –> 00:12:51,566
so I can just wear my AirPods.

170
00:12:52,126 –> 00:12:55,826
And your hearing aid profiles on your AirPods Pro, too.

171
00:12:56,566 –> 00:13:02,506
Won’t your health out? No. What will happen is you could use those for audio on your phone.

172
00:13:02,986 –> 00:13:06,466
So they can enhance the audio on your phone based on your hearing aid profile.

173
00:13:06,466 –> 00:13:09,386
File that i think is one of the coolest

174
00:13:09,386 –> 00:13:12,586
features yes and the clinical health your

175
00:13:12,586 –> 00:13:15,666
test will go into your health app yes that will yep yep

176
00:13:15,666 –> 00:13:21,366
i like that and i also like the noise isolation see some of these things i don’t

177
00:13:21,366 –> 00:13:24,286
know like i’m just so torn because remember michael that feature where that

178
00:13:24,286 –> 00:13:29,446
the people are in a noisy environment and it got rid all that noise yes that’s

179
00:13:29,446 –> 00:13:32,926
and they’ve been They’ve been doing some of that already, but…

180
00:13:32,926 –> 00:13:35,646
That’s only on the Pros, right? Yes.

181
00:13:36,586 –> 00:13:40,866
Yeah, I don’t know. Because the Pros, I can’t do it. I’m pretty sure it’s only on the Pros.

182
00:13:41,746 –> 00:13:46,506
I’ll have to look. I’ll go look and I’ll give you guys more information once I figure that out.

183
00:13:47,226 –> 00:13:49,786
Yeah, there’s still a lot of information unpacked from this.

184
00:13:50,626 –> 00:13:55,726
And then we got the AirPods Max update that we’ve been waiting for forever.

185
00:13:56,646 –> 00:14:00,186
Yeah. And it looks like the only thing they did was USB-C.

186
00:14:00,666 –> 00:14:05,866
But you don’t know. We even really looked on Apple’s website and we can’t find

187
00:14:05,866 –> 00:14:08,066
it. I don’t feel like they’re prioritized.

188
00:14:09,446 –> 00:14:13,926
I know. I don’t feel like they’re prioritized as much as they used to be.

189
00:14:14,066 –> 00:14:16,486
Man, I don’t like Airpods Max.

190
00:14:16,666 –> 00:14:20,846
The only reason I don’t like them is because they were not reliable at all.

191
00:14:21,386 –> 00:14:24,566
You know, I had to send them into repair for like two or three times.

192
00:14:24,966 –> 00:14:27,466
And I finally I’m just like I’m not dealing with this anymore,

193
00:14:28,820 –> 00:14:33,320
Because they just kept rebooting themselves and things like that. Yep.

194
00:14:35,040 –> 00:14:41,640
So, the next thing, and the AirPods Max are still $450. $450?

195
00:14:42,920 –> 00:14:47,500
$550. $550. Sorry about that. Yeah. I was like, oh, man. Maybe that was me wishing.

196
00:14:48,580 –> 00:14:52,040
Yeah. Wishful thinking, Michael. Yeah. I wish.

197
00:14:52,500 –> 00:14:56,260
I know. That would make it very nice. For that price, you could probably get

198
00:14:56,260 –> 00:14:58,220
Beats, but not AirPods Max.

199
00:14:58,220 –> 00:15:01,800
Right so i mean they’re

200
00:15:01,800 –> 00:15:05,080
good headphones guys i would i probably will buy another pair eventually

201
00:15:05,080 –> 00:15:09,860
eventually yeah would not be on my priority list i mean i might give them another

202
00:15:09,860 –> 00:15:13,440
shot especially because they’re usbc i’m trying to get rid of lightning and

203
00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:18,980
frankly yeah i don’t like lightning my goal is to get rid of everything lightning

204
00:15:18,980 –> 00:15:24,740
me too okay so So iPhones,

205
00:15:25,140 –> 00:15:31,540
this is really where I think a lot of people are going to be excited. I’m excited. Me too.

206
00:15:32,520 –> 00:15:36,120
So we got new iPhones with several different colors.

207
00:15:37,540 –> 00:15:41,480
And, oh, two things I want to go back to, Apple Watch.

208
00:15:41,680 –> 00:15:46,600
The new watches have translation from one language to another built in now on the new models.

209
00:15:47,060 –> 00:15:53,440
So that’s important to note. and the AirPods now have where you can shake your

210
00:15:53,440 –> 00:15:56,860
head yes or no to answer or end calls. Very important.

211
00:15:57,520 –> 00:16:02,180
And this is on the AirPods 4. I think the Pros already have this,

212
00:16:02,780 –> 00:16:06,280
which might be why I’ve answered and hung up on calls without knowing,

213
00:16:06,360 –> 00:16:08,640
you know, I had AirPods Pro.

214
00:16:08,980 –> 00:16:12,320
Because I wear those all the time and didn’t know that that feature was even there.

215
00:16:12,800 –> 00:16:15,660
Well, do they just do automatic firmware updates or how does that work?

216
00:16:15,940 –> 00:16:17,920
You know, yeah, they do. They do.

217
00:16:19,100 –> 00:16:27,640
So then we have the phones. We have the iPhone 16 and 16 plus pro and pro max.

218
00:16:28,220 –> 00:16:32,040
The 16 has a new a 18 chip in it.

219
00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:36,780
And I’m really happy to see guys that Apple is back on the track of,

220
00:16:36,880 –> 00:16:41,640
it’s not using the a 17 pro last year.

221
00:16:42,060 –> 00:16:47,960
And then the pros using the a 18 they’re back on the, the a 18 is in the.

222
00:16:49,769 –> 00:16:54,629
In the regular phones, in the A18 Pro is in the Pro and Pro Max phones.

223
00:16:55,809 –> 00:17:05,149
And the iPhone 16 has some very cool colors like teal, aquamarine,

224
00:17:05,149 –> 00:17:08,149
and I think there’s a white, a black.

225
00:17:09,029 –> 00:17:13,329
Yeah, I think those are the colors. Jet black? Jet black. Yeah.

226
00:17:13,809 –> 00:17:16,249
Well, it’s jet black on the watch. I think that was on the watch.

227
00:17:16,749 –> 00:17:19,869
Oh, I thought there was both. I don’t know. Like I said, I don’t have my notes in front of me.

228
00:17:19,929 –> 00:17:24,409
And then the camera bump on this phone is only two cameras, but it looks like

229
00:17:24,409 –> 00:17:25,889
the iPhone X’s camera bump.

230
00:17:25,989 –> 00:17:30,209
I really like it. It looks really cool. I like smaller camera bumps.

231
00:17:30,909 –> 00:17:33,769
They’re kind of going back to the iPhone X days, huh? Mm-hmm.

232
00:17:34,509 –> 00:17:40,829
And I like the, this one has the action button, just like the 15 Pros did.

233
00:17:41,249 –> 00:17:47,509
And it now has a better ceramic shield screen and other things like that.

234
00:17:47,509 –> 00:17:51,989
And it also has a new button called camera control we’ll get into camera control in just a bit,

235
00:17:52,489 –> 00:18:00,369
it has usb charging usbc charging with usb2 which is still perplexing why they’re

236
00:18:00,369 –> 00:18:09,209
using two and not three on all their phones oh yeah and yeah the the blue colors

237
00:18:09,209 –> 00:18:10,649
are very nice on these phones i will

238
00:18:10,689 –> 00:18:13,449
say they have ray tracing they

239
00:18:13,449 –> 00:18:16,609
have a lot of features on the baseline phones

240
00:18:16,609 –> 00:18:19,309
at $799 that are pretty nice for a

241
00:18:19,309 –> 00:18:22,849
phone man i you know

242
00:18:22,849 –> 00:18:26,589
for a while in that apple event i’m like oh i have to upgrade you a pro this

243
00:18:26,589 –> 00:18:30,889
year pro you know it’s like but then of course the lidar the lidar thing is

244
00:18:30,889 –> 00:18:35,569
kind of difficult because like you know i don’t know like the lidar is important

245
00:18:35,569 –> 00:18:40,369
but who knows what What are your thoughts, Michael, or do you have anything else to say?

246
00:18:40,869 –> 00:18:46,009
Well, on those phones, that’s about it. But I almost went for,

247
00:18:46,129 –> 00:18:50,369
I almost was convinced on the 16 lineup because it has so many great features

248
00:18:50,369 –> 00:18:51,729
and it’s cheaper. Me too.

249
00:18:52,149 –> 00:18:55,289
That’s what I was going to say. I almost was like, hmm, I could just spend,

250
00:18:55,389 –> 00:18:58,289
you know, a lot less money, but I’m like, oh, crap.

251
00:18:59,049 –> 00:19:04,029
But the Pros, so the Pros are very different this year.

252
00:19:04,109 –> 00:19:09,229
They do not have a blue phone. they have a like a like a slate it’s like a black

253
00:19:09,229 –> 00:19:16,249
they have a natural titanium they have a.

254
00:19:17,069 –> 00:19:24,069
White which is the color that michael is going to go for and they have a desert

255
00:19:24,069 –> 00:19:31,829
color that’s kind of like a gold sand kind of color not a fan personally but

256
00:19:31,829 –> 00:19:36,149
i haven’t been been able to see it so I’d have to like go in the store and look at it,

257
00:19:37,229 –> 00:19:40,409
But I like, and I don’t think, guys, we’re going to see a big,

258
00:19:40,489 –> 00:19:43,249
I mean, I could be wrong, but I don’t think we’re going to see as big of a pre-order

259
00:19:43,249 –> 00:19:46,969
season this year because much of the features, like all the AI stuff they’re

260
00:19:46,969 –> 00:19:50,589
talking about, Apple intelligence and everything is not coming till October.

261
00:19:51,469 –> 00:19:55,609
See, that’s part of my dilemma is, of course, my charging port is out.

262
00:19:56,569 –> 00:20:01,049
So, you know, I’d like, I have to wireless charge, which isn’t a huge deal except when I’m developing.

263
00:20:01,429 –> 00:20:05,449
But it’s like, man, do I wait till October to upgrade or, well, I don’t know.

264
00:20:06,149 –> 00:20:08,389
What are your thoughts, Michael?

265
00:20:09,289 –> 00:20:13,389
Yeah, I think it’s worth it.

266
00:20:13,609 –> 00:20:17,809
Well, I try to upgrade as soon as I can because the iPhone is so powerful.

267
00:20:17,929 –> 00:20:21,429
You can do so much with it. It’s like your main computer when you’re not at

268
00:20:21,429 –> 00:20:23,709
your computer, right? Yep, I agree.

269
00:20:24,749 –> 00:20:28,629
I’m a huge iPhone fan, and I’m going to be very curious what these studio mics

270
00:20:28,629 –> 00:20:34,089
will allow us to do, especially on VOIP apps like Discord or others.

271
00:20:34,089 –> 00:20:37,069
And they showed off a feature at the event where

272
00:20:37,069 –> 00:20:39,909
somebody could play a

273
00:20:39,909 –> 00:20:43,489
track out the speakers and voice memos would allow them to record their voice

274
00:20:43,489 –> 00:20:48,749
over it and they can lay the two tracks on each other and it would sound natural

275
00:20:48,749 –> 00:20:54,629
that is kind of amazing stuff yeah so i’m sure for the acb karaoke when people

276
00:20:54,629 –> 00:20:57,469
have to do their tracks every week i’m sure they will love that feature Yeah.

277
00:20:57,949 –> 00:21:03,709
And then they talked about doing like spatial video where you would have the

278
00:21:03,709 –> 00:21:05,329
spatial audio in the video.

279
00:21:05,549 –> 00:21:07,609
So that’s binaural audio.

280
00:21:08,289 –> 00:21:11,529
Really? Yes. So you don’t need those ambios.

281
00:21:11,809 –> 00:21:18,069
So a lot of things that, you know, we’ve wanted in an iPhone we can do now with audio.

282
00:21:18,909 –> 00:21:23,729
That is really, really amazing. You know, and I really like that they focus

283
00:21:23,729 –> 00:21:27,089
a lot on audio and cameras. It wasn’t just camera, camera, camera.

284
00:21:27,229 –> 00:21:31,409
Again, I wouldn’t mind that because that would help make our OCR better.

285
00:21:31,669 –> 00:21:35,209
But it’s always great when they focus on the audio and other sides as well.

286
00:21:36,266 –> 00:21:42,586
Yeah, and they did talk about 4K 120 hertz recording, which is absolutely crazy

287
00:21:42,586 –> 00:21:45,866
for video recording. So I’m very excited about that.

288
00:21:46,526 –> 00:21:51,766
And I mean, so much better for Apple intelligence. I think every phone this

289
00:21:51,766 –> 00:21:53,946
year is getting Apple intelligence, which is incredible.

290
00:21:54,326 –> 00:21:59,626
And that is my favorite feature. I just upgraded my Mac to the beta because

291
00:21:59,626 –> 00:22:01,626
my current phone, I can’t do Apple intelligence.

292
00:22:01,626 –> 00:22:04,286
But hopefully i you know

293
00:22:04,286 –> 00:22:07,406
so far my mac hasn’t decided and we’re going to just upgrade to

294
00:22:07,406 –> 00:22:10,326
the new beta so that’s good because it would have just shut down

295
00:22:10,326 –> 00:22:13,466
that would not have been good for podcasting but man i’m excited

296
00:22:13,466 –> 00:22:16,706
to play with apple intelligence this is my first time playing with it yep i’ve

297
00:22:16,706 –> 00:22:19,546
mainly written about it as well summaries and writing

298
00:22:19,546 –> 00:22:22,426
tools are what i’ve used mainly but yeah it’s

299
00:22:22,426 –> 00:22:25,426
going to be pretty cool yes and you can audio record

300
00:22:25,426 –> 00:22:28,126
notes then we’ll transcribe it and make summaries out of

301
00:22:28,126 –> 00:22:30,926
it that’s a game changer for me

302
00:22:30,926 –> 00:22:35,186
a lot of great features so the pro

303
00:22:35,186 –> 00:22:39,766
models they start at 9.99 they go to 11.99 for

304
00:22:39,766 –> 00:22:50,586
the bigger model the pro max the lineup up is 6.1 and 6.7 inch for the 16 and

305
00:22:50,586 –> 00:22:56,706
16 plus 6.3 and 6.9 inches for the pro and pro max,

306
00:22:57,926 –> 00:23:02,026
wow yeah i’m glad you remembered those numbers because i had them reversed.

307
00:23:03,286 –> 00:23:12,966
Then the pro max is slated for a 33 hour battery life oh it’s almost three days No, not quite.

308
00:23:13,526 –> 00:23:16,046
That’s a day and a half. I don’t know how to math.

309
00:23:17,646 –> 00:23:19,406
And then we have…

310
00:23:20,908 –> 00:23:25,008
The action button just as normal, but we also have the camera control button,

311
00:23:25,188 –> 00:23:30,688
which will let us do visual intelligence, which will let you point at something,

312
00:23:30,788 –> 00:23:34,208
hold the button down and get more information about what you’re looking at.

313
00:23:34,948 –> 00:23:40,348
I’m very excited about this. I think this is going to on device kind of challenge

314
00:23:40,348 –> 00:23:41,768
what the meta Ray-Bans do.

315
00:23:41,948 –> 00:23:46,888
But I mean, the Ray-Bans will still have a place because they’re on your face, their glasses. Right.

316
00:23:47,748 –> 00:23:51,468
So more options is better. Right. more

317
00:23:51,468 –> 00:23:54,208
options is always better and we’re going to have so

318
00:23:54,208 –> 00:23:56,828
much choice it’s going to be

319
00:23:56,828 –> 00:24:00,768
an incredible and and you’ll be able to have apps so

320
00:24:00,768 –> 00:24:07,328
you know ira or be my eyes can tap into that with their ai wait really yeah

321
00:24:07,328 –> 00:24:13,288
does it mean like techopolis my app can tap into it absolutely it’s amazing

322
00:24:13,288 –> 00:24:18,848
i did not know that i could tap into that as a developer yep they said that during the event,

323
00:24:19,368 –> 00:24:22,928
Well, it looks like my prospective AI vision is going to be on hold for now

324
00:24:22,928 –> 00:24:24,888
until I can get a 16 and make it better.

325
00:24:25,568 –> 00:24:35,768
Yeah, in a few weeks. So a lot of new features, a lot of great changes coming to these lines.

326
00:24:35,868 –> 00:24:40,928
Again, I’m getting the white, probably 512. 512 is going to be great on a phone.

327
00:24:42,487 –> 00:24:46,967
You can take those spatial videos. You can even take spatial videos on the 16.

328
00:24:47,167 –> 00:24:49,567
That’s why I was first like, hmm, do I need a pro?

329
00:24:50,127 –> 00:24:54,527
But with all the studio mics and recording and all that kind of stuff, oh, yeah.

330
00:24:55,167 –> 00:24:59,567
Oh, yeah. It’s like a little mini recording studio in your pocket.

331
00:25:00,227 –> 00:25:03,907
But if you think about it, we have Zoom devices that can do that,

332
00:25:03,987 –> 00:25:07,667
like the Zoom H4E and all those that we just bought.

333
00:25:08,207 –> 00:25:13,187
We’re starting to get that kind of stuff in our phones, where you can like move

334
00:25:13,187 –> 00:25:15,127
subjects around in audio.

335
00:25:15,667 –> 00:25:19,287
And I think that that’s where we’re going with this AI stuff.

336
00:25:19,467 –> 00:25:25,287
So I think it’s going to be just incredible to see what happens, right? Stay tuned.

337
00:25:26,447 –> 00:25:30,867
So Taylor, what was your takeaways from the event? What really got you excited?

338
00:25:31,747 –> 00:25:34,307
Visual intelligence by a long shot.

339
00:25:35,187 –> 00:25:40,427
Can you explain why? Because if I can be able to, well, for one,

340
00:25:40,647 –> 00:25:43,527
tap into it as a developer and make my app even better than

341
00:25:43,527 –> 00:25:46,187
it currently is probably have to rewrite it but that’s a

342
00:25:46,187 –> 00:25:50,947
whole other story the fact that i could just hit a button and be able to get

343
00:25:50,947 –> 00:25:56,027
information about things around me is incredible i mean yes i’m a meta rebrand

344
00:25:56,027 –> 00:26:01,067
but combining the two like combining my meta rebrand and the phone like for

345
00:26:01,067 –> 00:26:05,527
more precise finding is absolutely a game changer.

346
00:26:07,367 –> 00:26:12,907
Yep. So, is there a device that has you more interested?

347
00:26:13,067 –> 00:26:16,467
Watch, AirPods, or phones? Phone, by long shot.

348
00:26:17,507 –> 00:26:22,107
And what phone are you going to get, do you think? The Kings Pro. What color?

349
00:26:22,747 –> 00:26:27,527
I have not decided. Okay. Well, awesome.

350
00:26:27,707 –> 00:26:30,907
I think that that’s kind of the highlights of everything today.

351
00:26:32,567 –> 00:26:36,547
They They went over all the software and things like that that you’ll find on these new phones.

352
00:26:36,927 –> 00:26:42,707
IOS 18 drops next Monday, so does macOS and iPadOS and VisionOS and all the

353
00:26:42,707 –> 00:26:45,107
things. So it’s all pretty exciting.

354
00:26:45,787 –> 00:26:49,547
I’m sorry. So stay tuned for more IA coverage of all those. Yeah,

355
00:26:49,567 –> 00:26:51,587
we’ll come out with more coverage on these things.

356
00:26:51,707 –> 00:26:55,867
And other blindness podcasts have done a really good job showcasing this stuff. off.

357
00:26:56,487 –> 00:27:04,507
So I accessibility has some really exciting news to present to everybody.

358
00:27:04,887 –> 00:27:08,047
And we’re going to use this podcast as our way to do that.

359
00:27:08,167 –> 00:27:14,607
The website is officially online and launched. I accessibility.net is completely usable and online.

360
00:27:14,787 –> 00:27:19,307
We have our forums up and I accessibility.net you can click forums or go to

361
00:27:19,307 –> 00:27:24,967
forums that I accessibility.net sign in first to the accessibility webpage and

362
00:27:24,967 –> 00:27:27,127
then you can go to the forums and go talk.

363
00:27:29,056 –> 00:27:33,196
Conversations happening there and you can even add it to your home screen and

364
00:27:33,196 –> 00:27:37,336
get push notifications I just removed it from my home screen today and added

365
00:27:37,336 –> 00:27:41,536
it again you’ll see ia forums right on your home screen so it’s really exciting

366
00:27:41,536 –> 00:27:48,156
to see that and then our website is up with all of our podcast episodes there I

367
00:27:48,456 –> 00:27:54,636
cast net goes to I accessibility net and you can still use our links like I

368
00:27:54,636 –> 00:27:59,956
iAccessibility.net slash listen and iAccess.net slash listen for iAccess Radio.

369
00:28:00,476 –> 00:28:03,536
You’ll find us on YouTube, all of our social media channels.

370
00:28:03,736 –> 00:28:08,156
But also, we have our app directory. It is online.

371
00:28:08,476 –> 00:28:11,576
You can search through it. You can submit apps.

372
00:28:11,896 –> 00:28:16,536
You can even submit blog posts. And soon, we’ll even have the ability to submit resources.

373
00:28:17,736 –> 00:28:21,956
IAccessibility wants to be your one-stop place to find all the resources and

374
00:28:21,956 –> 00:28:26,456
discussions you want to have with other users using the same things.

375
00:28:26,616 –> 00:28:31,256
And the cool thing is we have a low, like we cater to low vision as well.

376
00:28:31,376 –> 00:28:36,556
So we try to add graphics and of course alt text and make this website be very

377
00:28:36,556 –> 00:28:42,736
useful for everybody, whether you’re totally blind, legally blind, sighted, anything.

378
00:28:42,856 –> 00:28:46,116
If you want to find what’s accessible and what’s not, what’s usable, what’s not,

379
00:28:46,116 –> 00:28:49,376
and ways to use things on the iPhone or iPad

380
00:28:49,376 –> 00:28:53,436
or Mac or Vision OS or a

381
00:28:53,436 –> 00:28:59,736
tvOS or Windows or even Android we want to be your place where you go for that

382
00:28:59,736 –> 00:29:04,636
so we’re very excited to have been launched Taylor also has a chat bot that

383
00:29:04,636 –> 00:29:11,696
you can use on the website so check that out we have so many great things and a surprise.

384
00:29:12,636 –> 00:29:18,536
We have a contest that we want to tell you about here on the podcast first.

385
00:29:19,156 –> 00:29:24,796
And it’s very exciting. The rules will be posted at the main page of the information

386
00:29:24,796 –> 00:29:29,056
about the contest will be posted very soon at iAccessibility.net.

387
00:29:29,296 –> 00:29:36,216
The rules will be linked. And this is all provided by the wonderful folks over at ComTech USA.

and we’re so glad that ComTechUSA is there with us as we get things started.

407
00:31:14,665 –> 00:31:16,585
Absolutely. Couldn’t be more thankful.

408
00:31:17,825 –> 00:31:21,685
Yep. All right. Well, that’s going to do it for this episode.

409
00:31:21,905 –> 00:31:25,745
I think we’ve covered the basics of everything. If you want to learn more,

410
00:31:25,805 –> 00:31:29,405
go watch the Apple event. It was very informative and very good.

411
00:31:29,605 –> 00:31:31,845
It was one of my favorite Apple events, wouldn’t you say, Taylor?

412
00:31:32,285 –> 00:31:35,405
Yeah, Michael. Actually, one more thing that we forgot to mention.

413
00:31:35,405 –> 00:31:38,145
So at the beginning of

414
00:31:38,145 –> 00:31:40,985
the event did you notice that there’s a lot of

415
00:31:40,985 –> 00:31:43,985
accessibility focus like they had all these different people

416
00:31:43,985 –> 00:31:47,565
with disabilities doing different things and it was a lot of representation

417
00:31:47,565 –> 00:31:51,645
so that’s really good i know apple’s been doing this in the past but it’s always

418
00:31:51,645 –> 00:31:55,705
great to see a company that does the representation and of course you can’t

419
00:31:55,705 –> 00:32:00,285
forget about the audio description yes awesome as well and that was even on

420
00:32:00,285 –> 00:32:02,985
the safari web page for the the Apple event,

421
00:32:03,125 –> 00:32:06,945
not in the, not just in the TV app, but in the web page.

422
00:32:07,045 –> 00:32:09,125
So well done, Apple.

423
00:32:09,405 –> 00:32:16,765
Great event. You guys are, you know, why I love your events are one of the reasons

424
00:32:16,765 –> 00:32:17,705
why I love your products.

425
00:32:18,845 –> 00:32:25,645
Yeah. And there’s so many things I could say, you know, towards all of that. So I just want to…

426
00:32:27,508 –> 00:32:30,448
We’ve helped build Apple. Apple has helped build us.

427
00:32:30,988 –> 00:32:34,868
And I think that we need to recognize, you know, they, they have done a lot

428
00:32:34,868 –> 00:32:38,768
for our community and, and we’ve done a lot for them.

429
00:32:38,888 –> 00:32:45,248
So let’s keep on keeping on and, and really bring out the most of what we can

430
00:32:45,248 –> 00:32:48,008
do with our lives, with our products that we buy from Apple.

431
00:32:48,448 –> 00:32:53,948
And, you know, we have wonderful folks like Gabe and contact ComTech USA to

432
00:32:53,948 –> 00:32:57,768
train everybody on all of that. So it’s really exciting.

433
00:32:57,988 –> 00:33:00,848
We’re entering a new, you know, it’s funny.

434
00:33:00,988 –> 00:33:05,588
We’ve been talking about eras a lot and iAccessibility is in a new era and Apple

435
00:33:05,588 –> 00:33:07,468
just said this is a new era for iPhone.

436
00:33:09,168 –> 00:33:15,548
So let’s bring it. Let’s go and change the world with all this stuff and provide

437
00:33:15,548 –> 00:33:16,748
a resource, conversations,

438
00:33:17,008 –> 00:33:25,308
and all of those wonderful things that we need as users that use the iPhone accessibly.

439
00:33:25,868 –> 00:33:30,968
Michael, one more thing. Remember the iAccessibility Report is now in podcast form?

440
00:33:31,548 –> 00:33:34,828
Yes, we do have a podcast for the iAccessibility Report.

441
00:33:35,088 –> 00:33:39,868
So if you like to listen to your articles, like say you don’t want to have to

470
00:35:46,042 –> 00:35:46,882
No way. I didn’t hear this.

Music.

2
00:00:20,366 –> 00:00:24,266
Alright, I’m Michael Doeys and I’m here with Taylor Arndt. Hi Taylor, how are you doing?

3
00:00:25,226 –> 00:00:29,506
I’m doing pretty good. It’s been a crazy weekend around here.

4
00:00:29,706 –> 00:00:33,486
I don’t know, it’s just been a long weekend, but we’ve got a lot of news and

5
00:00:33,486 –> 00:00:36,686
things to share. So I’m pretty excited, but I’m also like kind of tired.

6
00:00:36,846 –> 00:00:41,366
Not gonna lie. Yeah, we both have been working a lot this weekend and we’ll

7
00:00:41,366 –> 00:00:44,466
get to all of those things in a moment.

8
00:00:44,546 –> 00:00:47,046
But Taylor, tomorrow, Apple event.

9
00:00:47,186 –> 00:00:50,686
Are you excited? excited you know usually i’m

10
00:00:50,686 –> 00:00:53,546
really excited about apple events and this time i’m actually

11
00:00:53,546 –> 00:00:56,866
excited as well but to be completely honest i’ve been

12
00:00:56,866 –> 00:00:59,786
so slammed with ia stuff in my own day job

13
00:00:59,786 –> 00:01:03,886
that i haven’t even really thought about the apple event like you know if i

14
00:01:03,886 –> 00:01:08,186
actually really step back and think about what i’ve been thinking about so i

15
00:01:08,186 –> 00:01:12,626
guess i’m excited but i’ve not even given any thought whatsoever usually i’m

16
00:01:12,626 –> 00:01:18,926
like thinking about it like two weeks in advance but nope not this So this year,

17
00:01:18,986 –> 00:01:22,426
the whole theme is called it’s glow time.

18
00:01:23,086 –> 00:01:30,826
And the it’s an Apple symbol that has a lot of neon and a lot of different colors glowing.

19
00:01:30,926 –> 00:01:34,486
And it’s like animated pulsating, like glowing Apple logo.

20
00:01:34,626 –> 00:01:39,926
And it looks really neat. And what it looks like is the new animation that surrounds

21
00:01:39,926 –> 00:01:46,126
the phone on Siri. Siri and I have a feeling all of the iPhone 16 line of phones

22
00:01:46,126 –> 00:01:49,606
possibly may have Apple intelligence in the new Siri.

23
00:01:50,266 –> 00:01:53,186
That’s cool. I’m probably going to upgrade my phone.

24
00:01:53,906 –> 00:01:58,906
So what would you like to see on a new iPhone? Well, okay.

25
00:01:58,986 –> 00:02:05,426
For one thing, you have an iPhone 14 Pro, right? And you’d be going to a 16.

26
00:02:05,926 –> 00:02:10,426
So do you know the biggest thing that you’re going to get by making that upgrade?

27
00:02:10,426 –> 00:02:13,446
Apple Intelligent. No, I mean, that’s big.

28
00:02:14,026 –> 00:02:17,226
That’s the biggest thing for me, Michael. Remember, the biggest thing is subjective.

29
00:02:18,466 –> 00:02:23,586
Well, I think one of the biggest things for you is it will be another device.

30
00:02:24,546 –> 00:02:30,806
Well, actually, I think for you, you will now be completely off lightning at

31
00:02:30,806 –> 00:02:33,386
this point. Oh, that. Yes, yes, yes.

32
00:02:33,946 –> 00:02:40,526
See, I’m so excited about AI. Yeah. Yeah, but you’ll be dropping your lightning to go to USB-C.

33
00:02:42,366 –> 00:02:43,166
About time.

34
00:02:45,726 –> 00:02:50,786
Man, considering the shape of my phone right now, like, oh, I don’t even want to talk about it.

35
00:02:50,806 –> 00:02:54,646
I have to charge for it when I’m out, and then I have to do wireless charging. Yep.

36
00:02:55,346 –> 00:02:57,166
Life has been fun lately. Yeah.

37
00:02:58,626 –> 00:03:00,606
So Taylor has that going on.

38
00:03:02,206 –> 00:03:04,286
And yeah, so…

39
00:03:06,349 –> 00:03:10,549
You’d be getting that and possibly the new Siri, which is very exciting, right?

40
00:03:11,389 –> 00:03:15,029
Yes. And sorry if everybody’s devices are going off.

41
00:03:15,329 –> 00:03:19,589
Well, we’re not saying, hey, S-Lady, do a thing. I know, I know.

42
00:03:19,589 –> 00:03:23,049
It still goes off with the S word. Sometimes.

43
00:03:23,469 –> 00:03:28,409
But you’ll be getting that. But are you going to go with the regular 16 lineup

44
00:03:28,409 –> 00:03:31,309
or the Pro lineup? Pro. I need LiDAR.

45
00:03:31,789 –> 00:03:35,649
Mm-hmm. And as an app developer, I’m making apps that have LiDAR.

46
00:03:36,309 –> 00:03:41,649
Yep. So what are you hoping, besides Apple Intelligence?

47
00:03:42,249 –> 00:03:45,749
Well, I think Apple Intelligence is kind of the big thing this year, right?

48
00:03:46,509 –> 00:03:51,029
Yes. In my opinion, it’s the best thing and the biggest thing.

49
00:03:51,489 –> 00:03:54,969
So what I’m really curious about, though, is they’re going to be releasing these

50
00:03:54,969 –> 00:04:00,489
new phones before 18.1 is even out. I’m wondering how that’s going to work.

51
00:04:01,009 –> 00:04:06,329
I think it’s going to be a hard sell until October when the 18.1 comes out.

52
00:04:06,409 –> 00:04:11,509
I think it’s going to be a hard sell to actually get the phones without the Apple Intelligence.

53
00:04:11,729 –> 00:04:15,149
Because, right, it doesn’t come out until 18.1. So I don’t think a lot of people

54
00:04:15,149 –> 00:04:16,369
are going to buy it before October.

55
00:04:17,069 –> 00:04:21,489
Yeah, I think they’ll get it with 18.0. But it’s funny because the whole event

56
00:04:21,489 –> 00:04:28,269
is really focused on the new Siri and Glow Time and all that kind of stuff instead

57
00:04:28,269 –> 00:04:30,409
of Showtime. I feel like that was kind of poor planning.

58
00:04:30,689 –> 00:04:35,309
Yeah, I kind of feel like they should have done this a little differently.

59
00:04:35,469 –> 00:04:40,289
But I think they want to show people before they get it what they’re going to have.

60
00:04:40,909 –> 00:04:44,549
I guess. Yeah, I don’t know.

61
00:04:44,969 –> 00:04:48,429
Well, we’ll find out tomorrow. This podcast is being recorded,

62
00:04:48,529 –> 00:04:54,209
and then it’s going to immediately go right out to distribution after editing the beginning.

63
00:04:54,809 –> 00:04:59,889
But it’s very interesting. interesting couldn’t they have showed all this off

64
00:04:59,889 –> 00:05:04,469
at dub dub though or they did they showed off a lot well but they didn’t have

65
00:05:04,469 –> 00:05:09,929
a lot of demos right oh see that’s where i don’t know.

66
00:05:11,049 –> 00:05:15,029
Because they’ve been doing a lot of demos like online right i’m like apple like

67
00:05:15,029 –> 00:05:19,249
you know they’ve been promoting stuff but i don’t know for apple intelligence

68
00:05:19,249 –> 00:05:22,449
they’re going to do a lot of demos tomorrow they’re going to be showing people

69
00:05:22,449 –> 00:05:25,649
using this in all different ways how developers have

70
00:05:25,729 –> 00:05:28,349
used the betas but interestingly we don’t even

71
00:05:28,349 –> 00:05:31,809
have a lot of the genmoji and in the generative the

72
00:05:31,809 –> 00:05:39,589
image playgrounds and all of that stuff yet no we don’t but now taylor you have

73
00:05:39,589 –> 00:05:43,309
an ipad that can run apple intelligence have you played with it at all yet you

74
00:05:43,309 –> 00:05:49,589
know to be honest with you i just have not had time to sit down and mess with,

75
00:05:50,425 –> 00:05:54,445
Yeah. It’s go time for me instead of it’s blow time. Yeah. Yeah.

76
00:05:54,945 –> 00:05:58,265
So I think it’s going to be interesting to see what we get with these new phones.

77
00:05:58,365 –> 00:06:02,805
I mean, obviously they’re going to have all the usuals. It’s going to be the 16 and 16 pro.

78
00:06:04,185 –> 00:06:07,545
Now with some things that happened to you that over the year,

79
00:06:07,725 –> 00:06:11,725
we’re having some, we’re hearing about some new AirPods that will not have that

80
00:06:11,725 –> 00:06:14,765
AirPods for, I think they are.

81
00:06:15,325 –> 00:06:18,785
And these may or may not have the tips. would you still not

82
00:06:18,785 –> 00:06:21,505
buy them or would do these fascinate you

83
00:06:21,505 –> 00:06:24,305
at all no i do not want to repeat what

84
00:06:24,305 –> 00:06:27,985
happened in june that was crazy

85
00:06:27,985 –> 00:06:33,385
yeah taylor had an ear infection from using airpods yeah and it was pretty severe

86
00:06:33,385 –> 00:06:41,265
so it’s it’s i’m gonna be getting some airpod 4s i know you will those are definitely

87
00:06:41,265 –> 00:06:45,945
i like the ones without the tips on them from i don’t the pros are fine and

88
00:06:45,945 –> 00:06:47,205
my airpod Pros are great,

89
00:06:47,285 –> 00:06:52,165
but the original ones like the AirPods are amazing.

90
00:06:52,385 –> 00:06:55,985
I like those. It still sounds good and you can hear around them.

91
00:06:56,625 –> 00:07:01,345
So that’s in the rumors tomorrow. We have Apple Watch rumors.

92
00:07:01,805 –> 00:07:03,585
Well, we know we’re going to get watches tomorrow.

93
00:07:04,105 –> 00:07:09,105
And so we may see the Ultra 3, which has my name on it.

94
00:07:09,465 –> 00:07:13,145
May have some new health sensors, more accurate sensors, possibly

95
00:07:13,465 –> 00:07:16,165
sleep apnea checking which will be

96
00:07:16,165 –> 00:07:23,285
interesting so i’m curious what we’re gonna get yeah me too i mean with phones

97
00:07:23,285 –> 00:07:29,265
we know we’re gonna get usual devices you know with all of the features that

98
00:07:29,265 –> 00:07:34,765
we’re used to on the phone but i don’t know me either.

99
00:07:35,958 –> 00:07:39,498
So, are you interested in a new watch, Taylor?

100
00:07:40,398 –> 00:07:45,918
You know, I don’t know. It will depend on a couple factors. So, maybe, maybe not.

101
00:07:46,878 –> 00:07:50,898
I’m not exactly sure because usually I use it a lot for swimming and I plan to start that again.

102
00:07:51,078 –> 00:07:54,758
But it all just depends on, you know, there’s been a lot of crazy stuff going

103
00:07:54,758 –> 00:07:56,498
on at the gym that I usually go to.

104
00:07:56,598 –> 00:08:00,078
So, I got to see if that can clear out first. Right.

105
00:08:03,698 –> 00:08:07,638
So, I’m really excited about the event. I want to see what we’re going to do,

106
00:08:07,738 –> 00:08:10,598
what we’re going to get. I always get very excited before these.

107
00:08:10,738 –> 00:08:13,858
But I want to see what the new watches are like.

108
00:08:14,238 –> 00:08:16,598
This is, let’s see.

109
00:08:17,098 –> 00:08:21,978
Oh, it is. I believe this is 10 years of Apple Watch. Wow.

110
00:08:23,098 –> 00:08:26,258
10 years of Apple Watch. That is crazy.

111
00:08:27,378 –> 00:08:31,678
And, you know, we’re even not mentioning the fact that macOS,

112
00:08:31,918 –> 00:08:37,918
Vision OS, and all the other OSs are coming out very soon, possibly next week as well.

113
00:08:40,058 –> 00:08:43,538
So we’ll talk about those when they come out. But before that,

114
00:08:43,618 –> 00:08:46,638
Jonathan Mosen has a great podcast, three-hour-long podcast,

115
00:08:46,778 –> 00:08:48,558
I think, where he goes over all the new features.

116
00:08:49,258 –> 00:08:52,578
Yeah, I haven’t quite had enough time to listen to those. I feel like with those

117
00:08:52,578 –> 00:08:55,938
kind of podcasts, I really need to have AI summarize them or else I just fall

118
00:08:55,938 –> 00:09:00,298
asleep in the middle of them and never can get through them because they’re so long. Mm-hmm.

119
00:09:00,818 –> 00:09:02,878
See, another use case for AI, people.

120
00:09:03,418 –> 00:09:06,558
Yeah, Taylor, it’s all about the AI. Oh, yeah.

121
00:09:08,358 –> 00:09:11,998
So we’re going to see all of those things, and then we’re also going to see…

122
00:09:11,998 –> 00:09:14,238
I mean, there’s been rumors about AirPods Max.

123
00:09:14,578 –> 00:09:17,478
I’d like to see USB-C AirPods Max. That would be great.

124
00:09:19,142 –> 00:09:22,622
The rumors are that stock is going low on the iPad minis.

125
00:09:22,922 –> 00:09:28,122
But I think we’re going to see events in October, maybe November, too, guys.

126
00:09:29,362 –> 00:09:31,442
So we’re going to see a lot of events this year.

127
00:09:33,582 –> 00:09:38,682
So I’m really predicting. So I would like to think that the phones are going

128
00:09:38,682 –> 00:09:43,802
to have a lot of new colors and all that kind of to go with the It’s Glow Time event theme.

129
00:09:44,122 –> 00:09:48,662
But who knows? We will have to wait for tomorrow, but I’m pretty excited to see what we get.

130
00:09:49,242 –> 00:09:52,002
But again, it feels like if you really want the color phones,

131
00:09:52,102 –> 00:09:53,682
you got to go with the regular, not the pro.

132
00:09:53,842 –> 00:09:56,382
But if you need features, you got to go with the pro. So I was like,

133
00:09:56,462 –> 00:09:57,882
OK, color versus features.

134
00:09:58,242 –> 00:10:01,722
Yeah. And I wish they would put more colors on the pro phones.

135
00:10:02,702 –> 00:10:07,022
Because sometimes those colors make it easier to see your phone. You know.

136
00:10:09,022 –> 00:10:13,622
Totally understand. And there’s also rumors that the iPhone SE 4 may come out

137
00:10:13,622 –> 00:10:17,542
tomorrow as well with a new OLED screen.

138
00:10:17,542 –> 00:10:20,542
Screen yeah again i don’t really

139
00:10:20,542 –> 00:10:23,542
look at rumors because i want to be surprised and more than

140
00:10:23,542 –> 00:10:26,722
half the time the rumors are not correct my opinion

141
00:10:26,722 –> 00:10:31,562
yeah i mean it varies you know so we

142
00:10:31,562 –> 00:10:34,682
will wait for tomorrow we’re going to do another podcast tomorrow evening it’s

143
00:10:34,682 –> 00:10:42,002
very exciting and it’s going to be really cool to see what we get on to some

144
00:10:42,002 –> 00:10:46,462
other news for eye accessibility iAccessibility is very exciting to announce

145
00:10:46,462 –> 00:10:49,022
that our site is up and running.

146
00:10:49,162 –> 00:10:56,702
The iacast.net website has been moved over to the main site of iAccessibility.

147
00:10:57,242 –> 00:11:00,642
The app directory is fully functional. You can post in it.

148
00:11:00,702 –> 00:11:08,822
You can view apps by category, name, and ranking in there, and the latest app directory post.

149
00:11:09,062 –> 00:11:15,922
And we have our iAccessibility forums. So that’s all working as well. It’s very exciting.

150
00:11:16,682 –> 00:11:22,142
So also don’t forget, you can follow us on Mastodon, iAccessibility at Mastodon.

151
00:11:23,742 –> 00:11:28,262
IAccessibility at iAccessibility.social and we’re iAccessibility1 on Twitter.

152
00:11:28,462 –> 00:11:30,262
All this stuff is coming back.

153
00:11:30,522 –> 00:11:33,442
And it was funny because I was looking through pictures on the iAccessibility

154
00:11:33,442 –> 00:11:38,742
website, looking at all the like, Being nostalgic and looking at like pictures

155
00:11:38,742 –> 00:11:41,602
that we had for different posts over the years, it’s like, man,

156
00:11:41,702 –> 00:11:43,842
that takes me back a good while.

157
00:11:44,042 –> 00:11:48,382
I miss some of that stuff. So we’re coming back. We’re going to be doing all

158
00:11:48,382 –> 00:11:50,862
the things that we used to do. New reports.

159
00:11:51,522 –> 00:11:56,022
Taylor’s written some fantastic reports. We even now have a podcast called the

160
00:11:56,022 –> 00:11:59,022
iAccessibility Report where you can listen to our articles.

161
00:11:59,242 –> 00:12:01,382
Isn’t that cool? I think it’s amazing.

162
00:12:02,102 –> 00:12:07,082
Have you listened to it, Taylor? I have. what are your thoughts it’s really

163
00:12:07,082 –> 00:12:09,462
really nice interesting TTS voice.

164
00:12:10,672 –> 00:12:14,092
But it’s cool. Yeah, and we’re doing all of this through Podbean.

165
00:12:14,492 –> 00:12:19,472
And for people that may not have heard our interviews at other places,

166
00:12:19,832 –> 00:12:22,472
we are starting a nonprofit organization.

167
00:12:22,672 –> 00:12:29,672
We’re working on the details with our board and our team to finalize the details on that.

168
00:12:29,972 –> 00:12:32,172
But stay tuned. We’ll have more

169
00:12:32,172 –> 00:12:35,692
to come on that. The goal is to be very community-driven and transparent.

170
00:12:36,532 –> 00:12:42,892
So we’re very excited. I also didn’t share our app directories cover iOS and

171
00:12:42,892 –> 00:12:49,712
iPad OS, Mac OS, Watch OS, Vision OS, TV OS, Android, and Windows.

172
00:12:50,252 –> 00:12:55,892
So we’re very inclusive of all different kinds of operating systems.

173
00:12:56,272 –> 00:13:01,652
And, you know, it might even be interesting to have an operating system accessibility category.

174
00:13:02,212 –> 00:13:03,452
It’d be kind of fun.

175
00:13:04,292 –> 00:13:06,972
That’s fascinating. like how

176
00:13:06,972 –> 00:13:11,832
accessible is mac os like let’s rate voiceover like how well can you use,

177
00:13:12,472 –> 00:13:15,672
linux different linux distributions how accessible are

178
00:13:15,672 –> 00:13:18,392
they if you’re in the community reach out

179
00:13:18,392 –> 00:13:22,872
let us know what do you think about that just mention us on social media or

180
00:13:22,872 –> 00:13:29,492
send an email to us feedback at iaccessibility.net will be up soon and it’s

181
00:13:29,492 –> 00:13:35,952
very exciting stuff we’re making leaps and bounds The other thing I wanted to mention,

182
00:13:36,092 –> 00:13:38,492
if you have been following,

183
00:13:38,772 –> 00:13:42,932
AppleViz has been saved by Be My Eyes. Very cool.

184
00:13:43,132 –> 00:13:47,232
It’s good to have multiple resources out there. So we will be there.

185
00:13:47,992 –> 00:13:53,832
AppleViz will still be available. And then we will be updating the iAccessibility

186
00:13:53,832 –> 00:13:59,292
app as well. Well, so there’s going to be so many resources available to the

187
00:13:59,292 –> 00:14:01,372
Blank community for all of these products.

188
00:14:01,492 –> 00:14:07,372
So we’re very happy that we have a vibrant community of websites and resources that people can use.

189
00:14:07,812 –> 00:14:12,892
But, you know, we’re there. Apple Viz is there. Be My Eyes. You know,

190
00:14:12,912 –> 00:14:15,552
Aira has all of their, you know, their services.

191
00:14:16,552 –> 00:14:22,132
ACB, you know, NFB, all of these places you can find great resources to get started. it.

192
00:14:22,152 –> 00:14:25,492
So it’s very excited, very exciting stuff.

193
00:14:27,272 –> 00:14:30,572
I think we’re going to have a longer podcast tomorrow, but we wanted to put

194
00:14:30,572 –> 00:14:35,612
out some content today so that we can kind of get everybody ready for all the

195
00:14:35,612 –> 00:14:36,652
very excitement tomorrow.

196
00:14:37,572 –> 00:14:41,652
I’m a little more excited now that the work on the iAccessibility website is

197
00:14:41,652 –> 00:14:45,312
behind me. I mean, obviously, it’s going to, you know, still evolve.

198
00:14:45,632 –> 00:14:53,012
Oh, yeah. And there’s also one little thing that is kind of exciting that’s on the new website.

199
00:14:53,132 –> 00:14:56,192
Taylor, you want to talk about that? up yeah well i

200
00:14:56,192 –> 00:15:01,012
was gonna say michael you’re forgetting something so basically you

201
00:15:01,012 –> 00:15:04,872
can now use ai to search the

202
00:15:04,872 –> 00:15:10,072
entire i accessibility website and you can search and it will bring up episodes

203
00:15:10,072 –> 00:15:15,912
you know podcasts or apps in the directory or things like that and i made this

204
00:15:15,912 –> 00:15:22,712
by myself in wordpress and it’s fully accessible on the front and back end and

205
00:15:22,712 –> 00:15:23,772
apparently it looks Looks good, too.

206
00:15:24,012 –> 00:15:27,952
Yes. And that’s the really neat thing. Taylor is a screen reader user,

207
00:15:28,152 –> 00:15:31,652
has some vision, but she made a plug in that looks really nice visually.

208
00:15:31,792 –> 00:15:35,612
I love it. I’m really excited about it. Yeah. And I’ve been making plug ins

209
00:15:35,612 –> 00:15:38,352
for just over a year now. So it’s kind of crazy.

210
00:15:38,692 –> 00:15:42,152
And we’re going to have some really cool AI articles. So, Taylor,

211
00:15:42,212 –> 00:15:46,212
do you want to talk about what you’ve posted before and what you plan on posting?

212
00:15:46,992 –> 00:15:51,932
I’ve posted a MetaRabians article where I talk about like an introduction and

213
00:15:51,932 –> 00:15:56,872
give some commands. And then I’ve posted a Google Gemini versus Chagibouti article.

214
00:15:57,372 –> 00:16:03,192
And I also did a Be My AI, Access AI, and something or other comparison.

215
00:16:05,132 –> 00:16:09,532
And then I did a Google Gemini versus Chagibouti.

216
00:16:10,032 –> 00:16:13,412
Those are the main AI articles. I plan to do some more Meta Ray-Bans content

217
00:16:13,412 –> 00:16:15,872
once this website work slows down a little bit.

218
00:16:17,640 –> 00:16:22,460
Fantastic. So I think that’s going to do it for this short podcast today.

219
00:16:22,800 –> 00:16:25,060
We’re going to have a lot more tomorrow, like I said.

220
00:16:25,620 –> 00:16:27,520
Taylor, where can people find you online? line?

221
00:16:28,160 –> 00:16:31,420
Well, you can find me on iAccessibility.

222
00:16:32,300 –> 00:16:46,180
You can find me on Mastodon, T-A-Y-A-R-N-D-T at Techopolis, T-E-C-H-O-P-O-L-I-S.social.

223
00:16:46,660 –> 00:16:52,300
You can also find me helping with the iAccessibility website.

224
00:16:52,620 –> 00:16:56,620
So if you have questions about that, please let me know. Or if you decide you’re

225
00:16:56,620 –> 00:17:00,520
You’re going to break one of my, you know, find the AI plugin and you put something

226
00:17:00,520 –> 00:17:02,060
in there that you don’t like and it breaks it.

227
00:17:02,140 –> 00:17:05,660
Well, let me know, too, because I’ve been testing it, but people broke it.

228
00:17:05,720 –> 00:17:11,520
So anyways, we always try to find ways to break stuff. Oh, yeah.

229
00:17:13,380 –> 00:17:19,260
When Taylor writes plugins, she hates it whenever I get a hold of it because I find ways to break it.

230
00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:23,940
Including that thing that we won’t talk about that happened yesterday. That was.

231
00:17:24,340 –> 00:17:27,900
Oh, yes, we will talk about that. Oh, we will, huh?

232
00:17:27,980 –> 00:17:34,120
So one of the things that, you know, when you use ChatGPT, and don’t get any

233
00:17:34,120 –> 00:17:39,440
funny ideas out there, audience, but when you use ChatGPT, you have a lot of

234
00:17:39,440 –> 00:17:42,620
guardrails and things that, you know, you can and cannot talk about.

235
00:17:43,422 –> 00:17:48,482
When you actually use the APIs, though, like the programming interfaces that

236
00:17:48,482 –> 00:17:55,902
let you directly talk to OpenAI and GPT-4, those guardrails are not there.

237
00:17:56,322 –> 00:17:59,442
As strict. There’s some, but they’re not as much. There’s some,

238
00:17:59,462 –> 00:18:03,082
but they are not nearly as strict as chat GPTs.

239
00:18:03,922 –> 00:18:11,462
And you can get it to come out with some very inappropriate answers. Answers.

240
00:18:12,062 –> 00:18:19,122
So you actually have to build moderation into your project whenever you’re working with OpenAI.

241
00:18:20,302 –> 00:18:26,302
So for all of you guys out there that want to play with unhinged chat GPT,

242
00:18:26,442 –> 00:18:29,622
learn the APIs. You could do all kinds of stuff.

243
00:18:29,802 –> 00:18:32,622
But, I mean, do or do not, that’s your discretion.

244
00:18:32,882 –> 00:18:35,542
We’re not encouraging any bad behavior here.

245
00:18:35,842 –> 00:18:40,782
But, you know, don’t try to do that bad behavior on our site. Right.

246
00:18:41,122 –> 00:18:45,502
Because it won’t work. It will not work. Because Taylor had to fix it. Yes.

247
00:18:46,462 –> 00:18:52,342
So, okay. Well, thank you, Taylor. As for me, you can find me online as Michael Doeys.

And I’m always posting articles at iAccessibility.

251
00:19:04,462 –> 00:19:09,522
I’ve talked about iPhone mirroring currently not being accessible.

252
00:19:09,522 –> 00:19:15,762
And how to use notification summaries with Apple intelligence and a lot more is coming.

253
00:19:16,162 –> 00:19:20,842
So very exciting stuff. And you could find me all over the web. Just search for me.

254
00:19:21,202 –> 00:19:28,522
And I am very excited that we’re doing more content and we’ll be back tomorrow with another podcast.

255
00:19:28,742 –> 00:19:30,802
But I want to say thank you, Taylor, for being here.
