00:00:00,017 –> 00:00:04,537
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

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

00:28:36,556 –> 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,

406
00:31:07,985 –> 00:31:13,865
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.

465
00:35:19,482 –> 00:35:22,982
And you can just also search the web and you will probably be able to contact

466
00:35:22,982 –> 00:35:28,322
me. or, you know, you could always give feedback to iAccessibility and get passed on to me.

467
00:35:28,922 –> 00:35:33,182
And you can even find her in ChatGPT. It knows who she is.

468
00:35:33,602 –> 00:35:40,302
Oh, yes, it does. And the AI model. So, you know, if you ask who’s Taylor, it’ll ask you who I am.

469
00:35:40,702 –> 00:35:46,002
I think we even asked the new Siri and it was able to tell us who you are.

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

471
00:35:47,142 –> 00:35:51,322
Yes. Yep. Yep. When was this? In beta one of like iOS 18.1.

472
00:35:51,902 –> 00:35:55,362
Well, either way, y’all will be able to find me. Yeah, you’ll be able to find Taylor.

473
00:35:56,062 –> 00:36:00,402

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.

248
00:18:52,382 –> 00:18:54,782

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.

256
