people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcasts we're back in the studio and we're your
00:00:12
hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David so last episode pretty chaotic I know it was insane we had a pretty crazy
00:00:19
travel schedule and we did want to have a little fun while we were out there but now we're back and we do want to get into the Weeds on all things WWDC it was
00:00:26
kind of the news of the week and it was one of the more packed wwdcs ever it was
00:00:33
lit I mean I haven't seen every WDC ever but that was that was pretty uh it was actually packed it was busy yeah so
00:00:39
we're gonna go through all this stuff and there's a lot more coming and of course coverage on the other channels but we should just dive right into it uh
00:00:46
Hardware stuff software stuff headset new product category first gen stuff
00:00:51
let's just start with the the basics yeah MacBook Air MacBook Air got a 15-inch version yeah
00:00:59
we were hoping they would do this eventually uh uh yeah the details are it's bigger it's uh so so you had the M2
00:01:06
MacBook Air it was 13 inches now we have the M2 15-inch MacBook Air is a 15.3 inch display of the same quality and
00:01:13
brightness it also means you get a bigger battery to match the battery life of the 13-inch air and it also means two
00:01:19
more speakers yeah two more speakers so two extra Force canceling woofers maybe it's got a little extra bass depth we'll
00:01:25
see that's it same laptop oh there's one more color because there's four colors now there used to be there's those was
00:01:31
it always four oh okay same four colors which are black now they don't come in here
00:01:39
space gray I guess is what it's called and there's a Trivia episode if you want to get that just yeah then there's
00:01:44
silver at midnight and starlight uh it's 12.99 they have the 13 inch M2 still of
00:01:50
course for 11.99 oh sorry 10.99 yeah and the they still have the old design
00:01:55
13-inch air M1 for 9.99 do not buy that it's interesting I don't hate
00:02:02
recommending it to people who don't need M2 it's just you also get an old design the screen on the new one is so much
00:02:09
better I think the screen's worth 100 bucks yeah that's fair yeah so it it exists it's
00:02:15
the thinnest lightest 50 inch laptop I think I've ever seen it's 3.3 pounds and it only has two ports yep two USB C in
00:02:23
one audio jack yeah so micro care yeah I do do think if they were going to make it that much bigger they should have
00:02:28
added one more USBC Port I would have liked that um yeah but hey I mean yeah I think that
00:02:34
the versatility of the 13 inch is amazing for a lot of people but having that option to have the 15 inches which
00:02:40
is pretty epic yeah like I think there's some people who don't need everything in a MacBook Pro but would still like the
00:02:45
bigger screen this is exactly what they're yep that's exactly why it exists you'd be surprised at how many like
00:02:50
corporations will issue MacBook airs now or um like a friend of mine works at this uh company and they they issued
00:02:57
everyone 14-inch MacBook Pros but honestly they probably could have just done 15-page MacBook airs and they would have saved some money yeah there are an
00:03:04
ungodly amount of people that walk into a store and just say what's the cheapest 15 inch laptop that you have and apple
00:03:11
would have to go oh we have a 16 inch MacBook Pro and then they go uh never mind and to me so this is sort of my uh
00:03:19
my analogy in the video that I'm going to eventually talk about this laptop it feels like it's the Tesla Model y over
00:03:24
their land before the 13 inches model three that's an amazing analogy yeah when model 3 came out it was like oh yes
00:03:30
finally an inexpensive version of the car and it's it's great but guess what most of the population is actually
00:03:36
looking for something a little bigger a little higher off the ground so when they made a little bigger a little higher off the ground version of it it
00:03:42
became the best-selling car and the 13-inch MacBook Air is the model 3. it was like you have an entry level laptop
00:03:47
it's the one most people are going to get but guess what most people want a little bit of a bigger screen 15-inch laptops are the most common form factor
00:03:54
so guess what they made the 15 inch version and I predict it would be their best-selling computer just like the Y was the best-selling car so there you
00:04:00
have it uh then they did Max studio and uh M2 refresh across the board yes so we
00:04:09
have M1 Pro and M1 Max and M1 Ultra stuff and Mac Studio or no one pro M2
00:04:14
now it's M2 yeah now it's M2 Pro M2 Max M2 Ultra that's the new chip the big bad
00:04:21
M2 Ultra uh they also got HDMI 2.1 which is great to see and then they also went
00:04:28
wait a second we didn't finish the pro lineup they're the Mac lineup we
00:04:34
have uh we have one more mac to add Apple silicon to and the Mac Pro got
00:04:40
Apple silicon yeah it happened it was about the most boring version of the Mac Pro getting Apple silicon you could
00:04:46
possibly imagine yeah it was basically the exact same Mac Pro cheese grater
00:04:51
that we know from the Intel days but instead of gpus that you can take out
00:04:56
and put back in and instead of ram that you can take out and put back in it's just the M2 Ultra same one from the Mac
00:05:03
Studio and a bunch of PCI slots that's basically it and that's it that's it and
00:05:08
it's so big it's gigantic yeah and there there is no discernible thermal difference between the two like there
00:05:14
was plenty of space in the uh and the Mac Studio so they'll perform the same it's just if you need PCI
00:05:22
this is a computer for you yeah and there was like a there was one of the towers in there with the the lid off or
00:05:29
whatever you want to call it so you could see inside and there's just like there was nothing in the pcie slots and
00:05:34
then there's the chip it looked like like a bachelor gets their apartment and they just have like a lawn chair and a
00:05:39
TV like in the middle of this like the room there's just absolutely nothing it was cool to see the M2 Ultra die in
00:05:47
there though that looked pretty big yeah it's very big it's bigger than I expected yeah I do want to talk about M2 Ultra a little bit in detail because
00:05:53
it's actually a way bigger update than you'd probably expect uh especially considering M1 Ultra right was that a
00:06:01
huge lift you know it was two M1 Maxes that were fused together and that's
00:06:06
obviously huge performance gains uh but then when the M2 Max came out it was
00:06:12
like it was so close in performance to the M2 Ultra and we actually had a nice briefing about the new Max the new M2
00:06:19
Ultra and the reason it's such a big difference especially for us is that the
00:06:25
original M1 Ultra because it was too fused together it kind of just had twice the performance
00:06:31
but in parallel it wasn't exporting our videos twice as fast because they didn't
00:06:37
have a hardware way for them to do that they were just like oh if you need to like export twice as many tasks you can
00:06:44
do them all at like their linear speed but in parallel they didn't work together as much as they worked at the
00:06:51
same time at the same time so if you had twice as many things to do at the same time you would see a benefit but if you wanted to do one single thing yeah twice
00:06:58
as fast you didn't see that as often which seems like the obvious thing but I guess with super pro workflows maybe
00:07:04
you're doing a bunch of things they actually told us they were like yeah but like you know you could you could export a 480p version of this and a 720p and a
00:07:12
1080 and a 4K and an 8K at the same time we're like Okay YouTube does that for me
00:07:17
it's like I would I guess it's good to do that because we can upload it for
00:07:22
subtitling yeah it was it's funny like going out of compressor and making nine versions of video at once like I'm sure somebody does that but Ferraris is like
00:07:28
I usually do a couple back to back exports I do the 4K one that goes to YouTube and then we do subtitle captions
00:07:35
and I don't need to upload a 4K version of the video to them to do captions so I just export the smallest possible version yeah like a 480p version so that
00:07:42
I can upload 100 megabyte file so I do two exports and then maybe I do a uh
00:07:47
audio and sfx tracks for when we do our dubbing so it's like there's a bunch of stuff happening but I always do them
00:07:53
like one after I never even thought about the fact that we could do them in parallel so we should probably set up a
00:07:58
workflow well it takes like 10 seconds after I know 480 already rendered timeline but
00:08:04
setting up a macro or you can just do everything at once that would be fine it's cool until you actually only upload
00:08:09
the 480p version but uh yeah for M2 Ultra the thing
00:08:14
that's amazing about it they change the hardware a little bit and change the software a little bit the firmware and
00:08:19
now it's 1.8 x faster than the M2 Max because it can now put all those
00:08:25
resources into one task which is amazing um so I think that we're going to see a
00:08:31
huge gain on M2 Ultra over M1 Ultra which is very exciting uh they showed us a lot of pretty crazy uh demos with it
00:08:39
where they were just like playing back 12 streams of 8K video in real time yeah
00:08:45
you know um but you can get up to 192 gigabytes of RAM in the M2 Ultra which is pretty
00:08:51
insane uh 30 faster GPU 40 faster neural engine
00:08:57
yeah up to six Pro display xdrs we're never going to utilize that that's fine don't tempt me with a good time you get
00:09:03
like a bunch more i o also in them too Ultra just because you have more space than like a M2 Studio that's gonna come
00:09:10
out right uh I think though the i o on the Mac Studio is the same I thought it had like the Mac Pro on the studio is
00:09:17
the same yeah that's something the max row though is like where you're getting a bunch of extra i o over them yeah yeah
00:09:23
okay so to be fair if you play the SD card slot yeah wow all right let's go through all the new Mac Pro stuff macro
00:09:29
same exact chassis but no SD card slot yeah what I don't
00:09:35
know what that was useful so that's number one Pros don't use SD just put it back on you just put it back in the
00:09:41
laptop it's right here in the MacBook Pro uh but it does gain uh six or eight
00:09:47
on the back I think it's eight yeah eight Thunderbolt ports on the back and the top PCI slot a lot and then two HDMI
00:09:54
2.1 and two usb-a and then six open PCI Gen 4 uh slots the bottom one is a
00:10:02
compatibility slot that's great the Max studio has all the same ports and HDMI
00:10:07
2.1 instead of 2.0 as the last Mac Studio yeah but obviously the the old Mac Pro you could stuff a terabyte and a
00:10:13
half of ram in there you can't do that anymore because the ram is built into M2 so you can do 192 gigs which is a lot
00:10:19
but it's not what you could do before so that's interesting and then no gpus
00:10:25
at all yeah just m2's GPU yeah and you could do obviously other cards and
00:10:31
things like if you want to put in a card with a bunch of Cuda cores to help render things you can do that but that won't be your video card that would just
00:10:37
be like a rendering card you can do audio cards you can do storage cards which is what I'm probably gonna end up doing yeah uh but that's that's the
00:10:45
difference that is what makes this product very strange is that the the cheese the old cheese grater was just
00:10:50
like it's upgradable so that over time you can just keep swapping stuff out and
00:10:56
you keep the chassis and this one is just like a lot of the chassis everything's built in it's on the main
00:11:02
board it's fused to the main board and all you can really do is PCI expansion which for the people that use PCI
00:11:08
expansion for like audio stuff useful but it's a very large chassis for one
00:11:14
small subtask and I imagine this is a much smaller audience than even the the old Mac Pro was I have a theory go for
00:11:22
it most of my theories about Apple are based on things that they've already done because there's so lockstep predictable as a company they do things
00:11:28
over and over again I think they're going to redesign the Mac Pro for the next gen and here's why this is the ultimate
00:11:35
laziest we went from Intel to Apple silicon but didn't change the chassis what did they do in the first MacBook
00:11:41
Air the same exact thing they had the Intel MacBook Air and then they just took the exact same Intel MacBook Air
00:11:46
swapped it out with apple silicon and they were like haha performance redesign and sure enough we got the M2
00:11:53
with the redesign that was built around the chip MacBook or now Mac Pro happens what happens with the Mac Pro they went
00:11:59
straight from Intel to Apple silicon and you go wow look at all that performance but it's not built for this chip I think
00:12:06
the next gen Mac Pro can be smaller thermally it can have a nicer design and it doesn't have it could be on your desk
00:12:12
even it could have four PCI slots instead of six yeah and you can shrink that thing down and make it nice and I I
00:12:17
think that's the next Mac Pro the hardest thing about that though is just the sizing of the the cards you're
00:12:22
putting in the the expansion slots gotta be big enough for the cards yeah that's the weird thing because like ultimately like you said it's you can't replace RAM
00:12:29
and all that because it's all on the chip so we all kind of saw that coming and thought it'd be smaller but when you think of all the expansion slots they
00:12:35
could only make it so small if you want to put six slots there yeah so what do you like are you imagining a smaller
00:12:42
cheese grater yeah yeah yeah maybe not actually it's kind of it's got to be a smaller case It's gotta be maybe it's
00:12:48
still a cheese grater because airflow and iconic design whatever but Die Cast cheese grater
00:12:53
this is gonna happen when it happens I like they were already on to the next Mac Pro you just got what you wanted
00:13:00
this was the chef Marquez is this what you want I know yeah is this what you wanted yeah I know when is this gonna
00:13:08
happen uh it's the lowest priority thing it's the Tesla Roadster of their lineup
00:13:14
four years two before redesign I think two years I think they should have offered two Mac pros this year if they
00:13:20
were gonna do this they should have offered like a that like mini ITX version where it has four PC expansion
00:13:26
slots and it's smaller and cheaper and cheaper yeah yeah this Mac Pro starts at seven thousand dollars that's crazy it's
00:13:32
expensive but it has respectable Baseline specs um yeah you only get M1 Ultra yeah Baseline Mac Pro is like kind
00:13:39
of a slap in the face where you were getting the base one I think absolutely specked out this thing's like 20 grand which is it's 12 12.
00:13:47
if you see that screenshot it's because people love to just add like Final Cut and logic and all the stupid like
00:13:52
add-ons next year absolutely the highest you can get yeah okay the maximum you can spend on the computer itself is just
00:13:59
over twelve thousand dollars how would I know that I wonder oh no
00:14:06
yeah I didn't think so so yeah so that's uh so that's the Mac Pro and the Mac
00:14:11
Studio that's the max Mac OS also changed oh right we got we got a new Mac
00:14:17
OS yeah I guess that kind of brings us to the software section yeah because that's most of what WWDC is typically we
00:14:23
talk software OS updates and Apple's got a bunch of os's we don't usually get this much Hardware so it was like yeah
00:14:30
we left there and I was like if we didn't get Hardware sure this would be still interesting but there would be not
00:14:36
nearly that much to talk about Mac Pro is at like minute 15 out of two hours yeah they were cruising when we sat down and
00:14:43
they first started going and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi working so I was starting to do things on my phone my phone was like heating up by how fast I was typing
00:14:49
like I couldn't keep up and it was like by the time we got to Mac Pro I was like finally they finally got to it that was
00:14:55
15 minutes into a two hour Adam and I were looking at it to like find the clip of them reacting and I'm like I don't
00:15:01
know to go earlier was that like minute he's like minute 40 I was like earlier he's like 30 earlier and then he got to
00:15:07
20 and it was still after it oh my gosh it was like 12 to 15 minutes that's why they were flying like Alice and I were
00:15:13
taking notes and like at the beginning we're like talking cracking jokes and then we just get real quiet because we're just trying to keep up yeah it was
00:15:19
a lot let's talk software so Mac OS Sonoma is what's showing up on every Mac
00:15:24
now did you you predicted the name I didn't actually predict that oh okay we were kind of joking on Twitter what what
00:15:30
happened was uh we were joking about like a trivia question it was the trivia question where Ellis said like what was
00:15:38
the name of Silicon Valley and then I thought that it was the wine the like
00:15:43
wine country area yeah one of the multiple choice ones yeah yeah uh yeah the the my prediction was Alcatraz
00:15:52
yeah anyway yeah you were talking about the trivia but it's more fun to just
00:15:57
ignore the facts and lean into the meme the screenshot of you going Sonoma and that's like the exact the caption it's
00:16:03
fake news but I'll take it yeah yeah no context at all uh no it's a pretty small update but there are some interesting
00:16:10
things uh some highlights number one I don't know why but you can take widgets out of the sidebar now and just
00:16:16
throw them out anywhere on your home screen does anybody do you guys use widgets at all I don't really even
00:16:21
um I have like two in my sidebar weather because we have a terrible air quality alert out here and a screen on time but
00:16:27
you can now you can use the Tic Tac widget on your desktop whoa okay
00:16:33
so the big widget update is that an iPad OS and Mac OS you can interact with
00:16:39
widgets inside of the widget without opening the app believe it or not you could do this in any widget on the iPad
00:16:46
I hear the ring do we want to focus on Mac OS first or before we go straight I
00:16:51
just know where this is going and I think we should focus on okay okay so yeah you can put your widgets anywhere on the Mac widgets are I don't use
00:16:57
widgets but I think I just my screen's a mess all the time with just like different sized windows and that to me
00:17:03
feels like my clicking through widgets but some of the for people who do use it I could see them being kind of cool it
00:17:09
is nice how they like uh deactivate sort of behind when you have another window active and and it like Fades nicely into
00:17:16
the background but it's beautiful a lot of people using computers with one screen like that
00:17:22
I just use my window full screen all the time so I never use a widget so yeah the
00:17:28
demos and like they did the demo of that and I was like I know you know how I know I'm never going to use this because the demo is just a small window in the
00:17:34
middle of the screen and then a bunch of widgets around it I never use a small window in the middle of my laptop I think this is part of their merger of
00:17:41
the iOS iPad OS Mac OS thing they're slowly trying to get everything to look
00:17:47
more so more and more similar and if you can just like throw widgets like you see this screenshot right
00:17:53
this just has widgets all over the display which in my opinion makes it look really messy but people think it
00:17:59
looks like an iPad well it looks more like an iPad now yeah that's true this reminds me of Windows Vista when they
00:18:05
were trying to say how like this was going to be the new sick operating system because it had all these like widgets on the screen that no one ever
00:18:11
touched because your window is full screen yeah hey I I was a widget boy in Vista days I had XP a Wii widget
00:18:19
I had XP for like months when when Vista was out and I was like oh my God I want this Arrow glass so bad and I installed
00:18:27
a theme on Windows XP that gave me the transparent glass and the widgets and I
00:18:32
was like hell yeah I kind of have Windows this and it's stable yeah I know and then I actually got this and I was
00:18:38
like oh this is this is all right I load it up you're like I can see the weather and you're like I don't care yeah I
00:18:43
didn't need to see that that's what I put all the widgets on a separate desktop I think that's actually not a bad idea
00:18:49
as someone who has two monitors that did cross my mind it's like what if I just put them all on the corner of one of the
00:18:55
monitors swipe between them or if you're like oh wait that's what we already know the one where you because Mac OS lets
00:19:00
you like swipe between virtual desktops yeah I think you could you could have a virtual desktop that's all widgets so
00:19:05
you just use the three-fingered gesture well what did we have before wasn't it called what happened when you when you
00:19:11
pinched out that's the control center that used to be a widget panel that's
00:19:16
this I don't know that's like Brands all the gestures I don't know what they're that's all they are there used to be a widget panel where you literally it was
00:19:22
like a search box and a bunch of widgets in MacBook this is like the virtual home screens I think they just change where
00:19:27
they put widgets every update and just see what catches on yeah that's basically so Sonoma yeah Sonoma has
00:19:33
widgets there's not a ton of updates in Sonoma it's probably the small the like smallest uh OS update out of any of the
00:19:40
uh the products that Apple has you also have enhanced screen sharing which is
00:19:46
fairly cool it's like what's the safest feature yeah it's like a and it works in pretty much any video conferencing
00:19:52
application but it can separate you from the screen that you're sharing and sort of like overlay a small version of you
00:19:58
because it's doing uh semantic segmentation cutting you out and it can do a bunch of different things it can
00:20:04
put you in a little circle it can put you just with your body right in front of it I think that's really cool because it's good to have that you know action
00:20:10
with the person and also see their screen it's like foreground background like give you yeah like cut out on the iPhone of like
00:20:17
holding down and bring a subject out of a photo you're basically doing it's that for video in real time in whatever app
00:20:22
you want it's pretty useful if you think about it Zoom kind of does the or I forget if it's Zoom or something but
00:20:27
they do the they'll blur the background for you right they all do so pretty much what it's doing is just eliminating that
00:20:33
behind you yeah but yeah it looked really good it looks really good they have a bunch of uh really funny really
00:20:39
dumb things where you can like hold up both hands about some fireworks there's a bunch of like effects I who wants this
00:20:47
stuff even the demos they were doing of it felt like delayed it was like thumbs up and it was it for four seconds and
00:20:53
then fireworks like yeah I think every video conferencing app has these like really gimmicky really kit like
00:21:00
childlike things that like nobody really likes and cares about you know there's like a button to raise your hand in
00:21:05
Google meet I just picture you going like this and then like 90 hands come up from behind you I'm raising my hand that
00:21:10
would be useful I would do that that would actually be useful yeah um we also got uh Safari got a little bit of an
00:21:17
update there is more privacy features in it and they also have um what is it called profiles now yeah
00:21:24
which is something that chroma said for a very long time um so that's cool I immediately thought
00:21:29
they were it kind of looks like Arc now like the profile switcher kind of looks like
00:21:35
Arc you can also now uh create a web app from any app and put the icon on your desktop which you could also always do
00:21:40
if you Chrome yeah or on Windows for like 10 years yeah before Facebook Messenger back when I used to use
00:21:46
Facebook Messenger before they had an actual web app that was what I would do you could just remove the URL bar and it
00:21:52
would just be a damp that you could launch yeah it was a chrome window sick uh they have a game mode game mode which
00:21:58
is huge because everyone actually smacks for games um I'm really pumped that they use like a
00:22:04
a really hard game to prove they use death stranding which is a very hard game to run and that's how they showed
00:22:10
it I thought there was supposed to be a a uh there is a translator now a translator so so did you do you catch
00:22:17
this they have an API or they have a thing now where you can basically move like developers can take their game and
00:22:25
translate it to um metal uh or use use the metal API and
00:22:30
like easily move it over to Mac and a lot of people apparently you people can just do this without being the developer
00:22:37
but a lot of people were just taking existing games that they own and moving them over and then trying them on Mac so
00:22:43
people are playing like cyberpunk on their MacBooks and getting pretty good frame rates interesting that was actually an interesting development yeah
00:22:49
yeah seems pretty big for gaming okay um well game mode if anyone's wondering
00:22:55
is basically just like a priority of the game on your CPU GPU and it also doubles
00:23:00
the doubles the sample rate of Bluetooth so if you're using an external control where it'll be more responsive yeah with
00:23:07
airpods as well just like less latency between them which is actually really awesome yeah yeah and I think they
00:23:13
assume that your computer's gonna be plugged in while you're playing a video game anyway so if that uses more battery you probably don't care
00:23:19
uh and last but not least probably the most important possible thing you want to take it away Marquez oh yeah
00:23:27
and ironically really love ly love so there's now this you know the screensavers from Apple TV that were like these crazy HDR helicopter flyovers
00:23:35
of like major cities or super cool things they are bringing them to Mac OS now and
00:23:41
they shot a bunch of new ones and I was talking to the guy Phil who shot these because because believe it or not really
00:23:46
hard to shoot some of these and if you look at them for like if you have an Apple TV that goes to screensaver mode and you watch one of the screen savers
00:23:53
for like five six seconds in a row you're like oh this is kind of a cool shot and then it keeps going for another
00:23:58
like minute and you're like this is a really long shot and it keeps going for another two minutes and you're like
00:24:04
how did they make this yeah and the answer is 8k slow-mo from some
00:24:09
incredible like aerial camera setup and uh really impressive stuff it's also
00:24:15
really cool that when you then log in after the screen server is on it like Nestles into your background and then
00:24:20
becomes like a free like that's just such a nice touch of just like hey we have a AK video like screensaver and
00:24:27
then just like turns into your desktop though I know it seems so little but that's the kind of stuff I know for sure is that makes it feel I have to find the
00:24:34
looping point I will not it's really hard if I find a loop it's really hard they're good forever Samsung also used
00:24:41
to do this I don't know if you remember this on like the Galaxy S9 they would have like these wallpapers or you yeah
00:24:47
these wallpapers when you unlocked your phone um before you like well before you unlocked it when you turned it on it had
00:24:53
like a wallpaper and then you would unlock it and it would sort of like Nestle into the background yeah but they
00:24:58
got rid of those but now they're bringing them to the desktop here that's very cool we should take a break yeah we
00:25:03
got a lot more talk about there's a bunch more software there's iPhone stuff AirPlay stuff airpods stuff iPad stuff
00:25:10
widget rant and maybe even a Vision Pro thing or two so we're going to talk about it if we get to yeah we'll
00:25:16
probably we'll maybe get to it this time so uh also all trivia this week is in our collab episode so we've got way too
00:25:23
much to talk about to do Trivia today so sorry for you trivia lovers be right back
00:25:29
foreign
00:25:37
welcome back let's get into the new iPhone software iOS 17. see what I did
00:25:44
there yeah see now you clicked no okay so there's a lot of good stuff in iOS 17. it's funny because there's so much
00:25:51
like other stuff that it kind of went under the radar but if you just look at this list there's a bunch of really smart stuff in here yeah
00:25:57
two main things that I noticed as like an overarching theme to pay attention to for this one
00:26:04
Apple doesn't love saying the same words on stage as other companies and specifically if you went back to
00:26:11
Google I O and you saw what they said on stage it was mostly ai ai ai ai and they
00:26:17
would say AI any chance they got about any feature that use any sort of machine learning or anything pump the stock I
00:26:22
don't even know if Apple said AI once on stage did they maybe once or twice Transformers twice they said
00:26:28
Transformers they said machine learning they don't think they said AI ones they
00:26:34
avoided saying AI at all but there are still features that would qualify as AI
00:26:40
in iOS and the software talk about so that's one uh and the other is ecosystem takes the
00:26:48
lead here they they did a lot of ecosystem tie-in features yeah and they're useful features but they're like
00:26:53
really useful if you have friends with iPhones or if you have more than one Apple device absolutely those are the
00:26:58
two like themes out of everything I noticed so okay first let's get into uh the phone app is better new contact
00:27:05
cards actually they're called posters the phone app just like making calls yeah uh there are live transcribed
00:27:13
voicemails now which is literally if you miss a call or send someone to voicemail just like on the pixel when you screen a
00:27:20
call you'll get the voicemail transcription happening live on your screen and you can choose to pick it up in the middle that's really interesting
00:27:26
I just want to say because I thought that carriers like as they're leaving a
00:27:31
voicemail you can read the transcription and decide to pick it up while they're leaving a voicemail which I didn't know
00:27:37
was possible I thought that carriers like decided on whether you could do that or not it is funny like I think Eli
00:27:43
mentioned in this when we joined their podcast on how it like it's an old answering machine like that's what you
00:27:48
used to do on an answering machine at your house be like I don't feel like answering this and be like oh oh that was my mom and she's actually calling
00:27:54
about something important just like pick them up in the middle of their leaving the voicemail that's actually a great Point yeah I never thought about that
00:27:59
it's literally just that some people but it's a really good I've never had an answering machine well I do vaguely remember those it didn't live transcribe
00:28:06
you just heard it yeah and then it recorded it and you played it later but anyways I do think that's really cool
00:28:11
because a lot of people are gonna say like oh Androids have had live transcription voicemails for a while but like real time being able to interrupt
00:28:18
it yeah really so you can on the pixel it's just not called a voicemail yeah but can you can you pick up while
00:28:25
they're leaving a voice it's real time transcribing it yes I'm missing that on call screen on the pixel when you hit
00:28:31
screen call it does give a little like this person uses using a uh yeah whatever and then they can start talking
00:28:36
and I get a transcription as they're talking and I can pick up I think that's different I feel like there's a
00:28:42
difference between like you just made it to voicemail and like I got sent a robot to answer this call and now I mean if
00:28:49
you take away the intro with Google talking it's the same thing but do you think that Google is like shoving a
00:28:55
robot in between the call and the actual voicemail part and so it's just doing
00:29:00
its own yes so what Google does is it introduces itself as a robot and then you start talking and there's a couple
00:29:07
of buttons you can press on the screen to ask for more so if you want to go like who is this or why are you calling you hit the button and the robot asks
00:29:13
them and then you continue to get a transcription of what they say and if you want to pick up at any time you hit the green button and pick up this one is
00:29:20
just like they're not picking up your call feel free to start talking now it's a voicemail and then I would already go
00:29:26
up in the middle I feel like the if I'm the one leaving the voicemail or I think people leaving me a voicemail will feel
00:29:32
much more like free-flowing and personal if they're just leaving a voicemail and I yeah versus like yeah no one wants to
00:29:38
talk to a room yeah robot just kind of changes the vibe completely it's just what is even the point it's kind of just
00:29:43
like they Google just added a bunch of features to screen calls and it's like if I get like a like a Spam thing and a
00:29:50
Spam spammer starts talking I just hit the red button and it's gone yeah but the thing is if you were able to screen calls already like if Apple can just be
00:29:58
like okay we're interrupting the the voicemail feature and we're allowing you to pick up during that call why does
00:30:04
Google even have to do the thing where it's like I'm a robot please talk I always I guess they introduce the rest of the prompts later I also always felt
00:30:11
like that made it feel like a personal assistant kind of thing it almost feels way more businessy than like personal
00:30:17
which is like cool for businesses like if I'm yeah you know really busy during my work day and
00:30:22
it's I'm screening voice calls it's cool it feels like I have a personal assistant I could just do that while I'm still working but when it's like my Mom
00:30:28
calling me like I don't want to send her a robot to be like yeah I think also like overly cautious with these kind of
00:30:34
things where anytime they're doing anything with a robot they're like let's make sure that people know it's a robot
00:30:40
yeah this feels like a simpler version a simpler more like personal easier yeah yeah every day kind of thing same thing
00:30:46
with FaceTime yes you can leave a FaceTime video voice I love this which is like if you FaceTime someone and they
00:30:53
miss it you've already got your camera open and you're gonna do a video call in some way you just leave a video message yeah I think the point of FaceTiming
00:31:00
someone usually is especially if you're FaceTiming them when they don't know you're about to FaceTime them is that
00:31:05
you want to demonstrate something so being able to have a video call demonstrate something and it's just like
00:31:11
a voicemail yeah I think it's a really cool feature unless you're calling from a Vision Pro headset but we'll get to
00:31:16
that we'll get to that cool that like like I want to FaceTime someone because my kid just took their
00:31:22
first steps or something and then you can be like look what's happening right now like you missed this but look you
00:31:27
can still see it yeah I think that's really cool yeah I love that um they also have personalized contact
00:31:33
posters which is again a very ecosystem this is so ecosystem yeah they changed
00:31:40
the way that they can't yeah it's cool they change the way contacts look uh it's way prettier now
00:31:46
um and it basically like does the cut out of your body and then you can use your own photos it's the iOS 16 lock
00:31:52
screen for a poster absolutely absolutely which is awesome the iOS 16 lock screen was sick and now you can
00:31:57
airdrop it to someone by putting your phone right next to theirs okay just your iPhones though so this is probably
00:32:03
one of the coolest features in iOS 17 uh if your friends have iPhones uh they added a bunch of functions to tapping
00:32:10
your phones together which I think is a very futuristic very like we always assumed you could just kind of like
00:32:17
that's how it works so this one's called name drop which I think is a great great name they name everything don't they
00:32:23
yeah yeah you just bring your iPhones together and all of a sudden I don't know if the animation is actually the way it looked on in the video but it's
00:32:30
like this Rippling thing where all of a sudden your contact posters are just like dribble into each other's phones
00:32:36
um I think that's really cool I think the neat touch is you get to choose exactly which contact information you
00:32:41
share oh yeah with each person so if I'm seeing you and I'm like oh do you have my phone number no and I do that I can
00:32:47
go yeah phone number just share the phone number and we beam phones and you get my phone number or if I'm at a conference and I'm like work email I'll
00:32:54
share just a work email when we beam phones yeah oh harassment fake number I'll give you a fake number here's my
00:33:01
number and it's fake and you just walk away you can make a bunch of different contact posters and you can just make one that has fake information so if you
00:33:06
don't actually want that person to contact you you just give them fake information and you're like I beamed you I beamed you you got it all right see
00:33:12
you later yeah yeah so that's that's very ecosystem that's uh oh you have an
00:33:17
Android sorry I guess yeah I'll give you my phone number David pops up is popping out of the screen on his iPhone and then
00:33:23
I call and it's just like a green am on the screen I have like right now a hole
00:33:28
punch in a card that'll that'll if you just dial that number that'll be it uh no yeah airdrop for names name drop uh
00:33:35
there's there are actually speaking of airdrop there are a lot of airdrop updates that I think are cool because I
00:33:40
never thought of airdrop as something that needed to be updated besides stability yeah
00:33:46
um but now if you're airdropping some something to someone but you really have to go when you get out of range it'll
00:33:51
continue air dropping over the Internet super useful which is interesting I um they showed using Apple photos like
00:33:59
airdropping photos and I do wonder if for that feature to work you have to already have what you're airdropping
00:34:05
them like in the cloud because then it just kind of like like hands Shake shares it over your accounts and
00:34:11
continues to download it I'm not sure if that's the case we're gonna have to test that yeah when we looked at the images and stuff it had the little like apple
00:34:18
photos logo remember that's what we were trying to figure this out so not over mobile data it's because it's already in
00:34:23
the cloud on the internet we'll be over mobile day it will be cellular but you wouldn't be cellular to their other
00:34:29
phone it would be like cellular to pull it from some Cloud Source instead of straight from there oh I was assuming it's like sending something to the cloud
00:34:35
so source and then the cloud source is sending it back I think it's like you're sending it locally over the Wi-Fi Direct
00:34:41
handshake that you have with white uh with airdrop but then if you get out of range because that file is theoretically
00:34:48
also in the cloud it can finish downloading it it already knows what bytes it's downloaded so it downloads
00:34:54
the rest I don't know if that that's how it works definitively but that's how I I would understand it disclaimer that's an
00:35:00
assumption yeah yeah yeah we gonna test it we're going to test that yeah um also airdrop now works with Apple
00:35:06
watch uh I'm gonna use so many videos on the Apple watch yeah you can well you
00:35:11
can do the name drop thing with Apple watch too you can bring your like watch to someone's phone and it'll be me I don't
00:35:19
know that would be kind of silly so I can do it yeah someone's gonna do it hahaha
00:35:26
who I am cool yeah um you can also start share plays Now by bringing your devices
00:35:31
together just like name drop very cool start shared activities um yeah and then messages messages has a
00:35:39
ton of lots of updates to messages yeah which I don't use messages so I'm just kind of watching the the sticker thing I
00:35:45
think was probably the like biggest thing they showed did um I think it search features well the
00:35:52
search feature is really cool so search feature with filters right and then so you can basically search one thing and
00:35:57
then after you've searched that then you can also keep searching further and further there's that there's also the benefit that um before you would have to
00:36:04
search messages wide for a word you couldn't search within somebody's message which was stupid right like if I
00:36:11
wanted to search for a very specific thing that I talked to Adam about I would just have to search in messages and everybody else that said that word
00:36:18
would also pop up yeah so you have to search their name yes yeah there's no individual search threads like there has
00:36:24
been really surprising yeah Android one of the things where like there's a lot of things they add which
00:36:30
you're like you couldn't do that before but yeah you this is this is the iMessage experience and I always like
00:36:35
breeze through these and every time I say them there's a bunch of people going finally and you're like oh yeah people use iMessage a lot yeah so search
00:36:42
filters is one yeah uh transcribed inline audio messages is another so if I
00:36:47
send someone an audio message they would just have a little play button and it would be a waveform that they played and
00:36:53
it would disappear and if you don't have time for that waveform you can see the transcription now yeah this is on slack for like videos best thing ever like so
00:37:01
having that in there is actually really cool Google messages has a telegram has it I think pretty much every single
00:37:06
messaging app has been adding it in the last like year and a half something about live captions recently has just made me very happy me too I think it's
00:37:12
really awesome and I used to complain about people sending me voice notes all the time because it's like bro I'm on
00:37:18
the subway I have to put my headphones on just to listen to your voice note and then take them off you know so that's
00:37:23
really nice to see um the sticker experience you were talking about yeah it's like rather than
00:37:29
reactions you can just straight up put stickers onto messages now and then my main question there is like it kind of
00:37:35
looked like they could put them wherever but they always put them on the right side of the screen but like if you're a bad faith sticker actor like are you
00:37:42
gonna just start like putting stickers all over your messages so you can't read things oh my gosh like I probably then
00:37:49
your Android friend just gets like Andrew moved sticker to 300 comma 458.
00:37:54
like what is happening and the cool yeah I can't maybe did they only do this
00:38:00
because RCS made reactions a little nicer first I want to make our lives miserable I
00:38:06
think that there is probably going to be like no way for an SMS message to interpolate we need to test this that's
00:38:13
a really funny point this was 100 like apple watching the Google Presentation being like oh you want us to support RCS
00:38:19
we'll show you and then Hiroshi was watching this presentation like come on RCS RCS and they were like you can put
00:38:24
stickers anywhere how are we gonna fix this this is there's no way you have an Android
00:38:31
person in the group chat if you're trying to do sticker chaos I have a feeling that this is just not going to
00:38:36
work at all because this feature will stop working so
00:38:43
previously if you had a single Android User in the group chat you couldn't use any iMessage features except for the
00:38:48
like reactions and stuff and then it would do that weird interpolation stuff one of the good updates well it's
00:38:54
actually you can inter interpret this in various ways you could say it's a good update or a worse update but now if you
00:39:00
have an Android User in the group chat you can still use a lot of iMessage functions and I'm assuming that they're
00:39:07
doing some weird like in-between hacky thing because it's still same way Google did I guess uh well that was with that
00:39:15
was with like stickers oh not stickers the reactions they would catch an SMS from a reaction and turn it into a
00:39:20
reaction inline in Google's app yeah but like you're still able to do now you're still able to do iMessage features with
00:39:27
other iPhone users in the group chat even if there's an Android User where previously you couldn't besides
00:39:33
reactions so they're adding specific ones it's not like every iMessage feature I think this
00:39:40
helps in a lot of ways because it makes it so having one Android User in the group chat will not make everyone bully
00:39:46
the Android User to get out of the group chat which you can't even do by the way because it's an SMS chat you can't leave
00:39:53
and enter you have to start a new one it's a whole mess I think that that's good but we'll see how that plays out
00:39:59
Apple likes it one other thing I just realized we missed it but I think it was kind of cool no oh oh no stickers was
00:40:06
there anything else on Stick well you can make animations animated ones because you can do the you can do the tap and hold thing
00:40:12
um where you like cut out a a person from a photo and you can use that as a
00:40:17
sticker system-wide on any app you can also do it with uh with videos now so I
00:40:22
think it was live photos oh live photos yeah so I think it would pick out live photos it felt could do it correctly or
00:40:29
look good and then in the live photos it would do exactly that and you can apparently use those stickers in like a lot of apps which is very cool yeah it
00:40:36
just adds to your like Emoji section as your own stickers which is I think really cool anyway what were you gonna
00:40:42
say uh the check-in feature I thought was actually kind of cool um just like you know we all you tell a loved one
00:40:48
like oh um about like yesterday told Claire oh I'm getting on the plane now and she'll be like oh let me know when
00:40:54
you land or like if you're saying I'm gonna drive back an hour let me know when you get there it can tell you said
00:41:00
that in the sen in the messages and then a little thing will pop up that says like you made it there and tell them
00:41:07
you're safe or just like if you start going off track and don't quite make it there I'll send an alert to the person you're talking about I'm worried about
00:41:13
well I don't use this but if I had this I would be worried then Claire knows I spent an extra 30 minutes going to Taco Bell on my way home or whatever and like
00:41:20
gonna get knocked out on that turn this one off otherwise I think it's actually kind of a cool thing especially I'm sure for parents that have kids I think it's
00:41:27
a great idea for women too like for sure it's a huge safety feature yeah when she used to go on like First Dates she would
00:41:33
share her her location with me and it's like this is I think basically
00:41:38
I think it's a really good Loki safety feature yeah sure yeah is one of the things where apple looks at the way
00:41:44
people use the phone and they're like we can make that better yeah then they just did it yeah yeah very cool
00:41:49
um autocorrect Transformer based autocorrect thank God you can now uh
00:41:55
it'll basically learn how you text so if multiple times you you say like a word
00:42:00
that is like slang or something the worst part of the iPhone yeah the keyboard is the worst part of the iPhone
00:42:05
by far like every time I type a Word and I'm like oh that's not the word delete it type it again it fixes it I delete it
00:42:11
you should know that when I deleted it twice I didn't want to say it yeah and then I type it again and it just keeps
00:42:17
going this is the worst keyboard ever [ __ ] sucks it's yeah I did like I
00:42:23
like that they did make that reference because that's the most classic one like you type it it fixes it you delete it
00:42:28
you type it again it fixes it again you're like in what world would I ever say ducking I've never said that word
00:42:34
yeah so now number one it will learn from words that you actually use thank God and it will actually auto correct
00:42:40
and help you pick your next word based on the way you usually say strings of words uh there's inline typing
00:42:46
predictions kind of like you have in like Google Docs where if you're typing something it'll predict the next word and you can just hit space and it fills
00:42:52
it in finally yeah there's sentence level auto correction which is really
00:42:58
useful and that's something that you need Transformers for these are all things Google keyboard has been doing for a while yes indeed we should make a
00:43:05
short of this have you ever seen the people who they sing songs based on like the Google keyboard next prediction so
00:43:11
they just keep pressing no no they just keep pressing yeah but then it usually just stands
00:43:18
you should do apple song versus Apple keyboard song Google keyboards yeah I
00:43:23
have to use it for a month and it really knows you very well just see what it says see what it thinks he would say yeah yeah yeah so yeah the the
00:43:29
autocorrect and the updates to the keyboard really really useful I'm very excited about that so anyone can get in
00:43:35
case you guys didn't know anyone can get the developer beta now it used to be that you had to like pay 99 sign up
00:43:40
specifically as a developer I'm not actually sure if I checked a check box that said I understand and I agree and
00:43:47
I'm a developer now yeah I
00:43:52
to renew my developer account but I don't need it to have I don't need to
00:43:57
pay the hundred bucks to have the iOS beta but yeah yeah if you want to try it it's super not stable I actually don't recommend it yet and I don't recommend
00:44:04
it's a developer beta for a reason maybe the public betas maybe hop on those but that's where we're at can I talk about standby mode really quick oh yeah oh
00:44:11
yeah yeah of course okay and last thing in iOS which is I don't know why I'm like excited about these things and I
00:44:16
don't even use an iPhone but the or it's not even called standby mode I think it's just called standby oh yes standby
00:44:22
it's called Sam I think this is I thought it was really cool pretty much and the reason I think this is cool is
00:44:28
just because of compatibility with magsafe on all these things we're just like you have a magsafe stand or I think
00:44:34
does it have to be on a magsafe stand or it can be kind of whenever I think it does have to be on a magsafe stand
00:44:39
because there's a microprocessor handshake I think it's better with a mask I think that's what it is automatically do it
00:44:45
but I think on stage they said as long as your phone is char charging and horizontal which would sort of require a
00:44:52
magnet to do that but yeah it's sort of actually I have a horizontal wireless charger at home it just has a little lip
00:44:58
on the bottom so I think yeah the Cyber truck one it would be yeah yeah but anyways the magsafe stands are cool
00:45:04
because you can put them kind of wherever and essentially what it is is a mode that just allows like a bunch of
00:45:09
different Widgets or just like your alarm clock and stuff like that and it's yeah it's just like it's basically a smart home display yeah but I think the
00:45:16
coolest thing about it is depending on where in your house you are and you put it on those mag saves It'll like change
00:45:23
whatever like texture you want those widgets to be there so like at your bed it'll be an alarm clock if you do in the
00:45:29
kitchen maybe it's a timer widget or or a to do like a grocery list widget or maybe sports scores in your like living
00:45:36
room I I don't know it looked really nice and even when you turn the lights off like in your bedroom it'll like
00:45:42
change the colors of everything to like glow down it's like the Apple watch Ultra like diving mode right bed where
00:45:49
it's like it's super low light doesn't affect your eyes yeah it feels like the homepod team was like can we make one
00:45:54
with a screen Apple's like no and they're like but we made all this cool stuff we have and all these all these tricks and they're like do we have any
00:46:00
other screens we can use or like there's a lot of people with iPhones so we built this for the iPhone I want them to add
00:46:07
magsafe to the um iPad mini and then also allow you to
00:46:12
do this like in your kitchen because that's basically a home display someone's gonna build a stand to hold
00:46:18
the iPad Mini sideways and charge it and then Apple it needs I feel like it needs
00:46:23
the official bag safe yeah to do that though so then it does that like handshake and then yeah uh just like at
00:46:29
home Wi-Fi iPad Mini that can do that on all those stands epic you can also say hey
00:46:35
so you don't have to say hey anymore but you don't have to say hey anymore oh yeah so you can just yell her name you
00:46:40
can also interrupt her in the middle of her uh speaking now and like a new command or just say stop
00:46:46
you can just say stop like while she's talking I'm saying Hey Siri whoa
00:46:54
[Laughter]
00:47:06
everyone was ready for their notes to get all messed up or whatever but yeah Google does it at their presentations
00:47:11
too they'd say it like three or four times on stage I wonder if that if you're watching sort of like localized I was gonna say it's like a Geo game
00:47:18
it triggered a lot of trigger okay it did okay that's funny um yeah I think yeah the standby Mode's
00:47:24
really cool um there is there's like a bunch of rumors that they're going to have a home
00:47:30
what is it was their Smarter with a homepod yeah a homepod with a display at some point it would be nice um how about
00:47:36
a home pod with a little cutout where you magnetize your iPhone
00:47:43
that could work like the pixel tablet has a stand yes you just pop your iPhone yeah into your iPod and then your music
00:47:49
connects to the homepod this is a free product that yeah I just realized whoops uh but then you positive and then it's
00:47:55
got this smart display with like the smart home controls and everything but it's also a better speaker and a long form mic they call it iHome and they
00:48:02
have they have the little 32 pin you know the little dock I think that's a great idea magsafe is the new 30 pin
00:48:09
yeah dang yeah uh also randomly uh there's a journal app now but it's not out yet oh yeah it'll probably come only
00:48:16
on iOS yeah it's not an iPad yet which seems weird because if you're journaling a lot of people would want to use the
00:48:22
pencil you know one more thing the phone does it's not on the tablet yeah they kind of
00:48:28
always do that and then they wait like four years and they're like haha we brought this to we know you've been
00:48:34
waiting for the iPad except the calculator we're never doing that yeah yeah but no we did get iPad OS 17. uh my
00:48:41
favorite feature specifically is that widgets are now interactable
00:48:47
meaning that if you have let's say you have a to-do list app with a check box
00:48:53
you can check the box without opening the app I know this is mind-blowing
00:48:59
information I know this is something that a lot of Android users thought you could always do I believe that that was
00:49:04
not something you can never do it a widget I don't know it's just a shortcut to open the app it's got
00:49:10
glanceable information which is cool so if you have like a weather app you can't scroll but at least you can look at the weather stupid but like there's so many
00:49:16
instances where I want to interact with it and you can't it just opens the app fifty percent of the engagement in this
00:49:21
video this episode is gonna be like I've had this on Android yes 10 years there's a lot of things we've had so my number
00:49:28
one question which I don't think we've seen an answer to yet is but wait can you scroll and I don't
00:49:35
think you can scroll there were no examples on stage of scrolling which sounds silly but like imagine a four-day
00:49:41
weather forecast and you scroll over to the next four days imagine a to-do list app with more than five items and you
00:49:47
need to scroll down to find the thing you just did imagine a calendar widget with more than five days and you want to scroll to the next five days imagine a
00:49:55
contacts list where you want to like contact the sixth person but you only have the first five showings so you scroll to the next five imagine uh
00:50:01
aren't there like Photo widgets also like can you not imagine all the people living for today there's a lot of
00:50:07
versions of wanting to scroll in a widget so hey apple as long as I'm on the free suggestions bandwagon
00:50:13
scrolling widgets remember when I cut Marquez off about I about widgets before this is why this is just like no no you
00:50:20
go now you're in it it's cool that I can check the box Apple I appreciate that uh and you can you can
00:50:27
also add those widgets to the side of your lock screen so you can sort of redesign your lock screen now with some
00:50:33
widgets over to the side cool check those boxes in the widgets nice uh just
00:50:38
let me scroll go off King yeah oh you you mentioned the weather app
00:50:43
really quickly this is very dumb and very stupid I just want to note that now on the weather app they didn't ask us on stage but it's just an update
00:50:50
um you can now look at yesterday's weather hmm which you couldn't do before
00:50:56
anyway we can move on nice other iPad yeah talk about PDF standard
00:51:02
PDFs you can do them they're there next no yeah I don't know there's like autofill stuff and like replacing your
00:51:07
signature and uh wasn't it also I do think the one cool thing was you could real time chat with
00:51:15
someone else working on the same PDF and add notes that wouldn't it's in the notes app so you can bring PDFs into the
00:51:21
notes app and it has a bunch of different features that PDFs can do now like if you can scan a PDF with your
00:51:27
phone it turns it into a PDF uh it automatically knows where the like
00:51:33
fields are that you want to write on and it makes those typable fields and can autofill them and can autofill them uh
00:51:41
and then you can like draw on top of it and then if you're sharing your note with another person they can like see
00:51:47
those changes in real time and also draw on top of it yeah and I think you can even like you can add something to it like a photo and then still draw on top
00:51:54
of that and yeah I know it's just a bunch of layers and all these things sound kind of dumb but like PDFs are kind of a pain in the neck sometimes so
00:52:00
like yeah I do actually think it's useful it's just not it's like one of the oldest file formats I know but that
00:52:06
everyone requires all the time and maybe PRP people will stop sending me docx
00:52:11
when they require for the love of God they always require signatures and they always send me docx and then I have to
00:52:17
convert them to PDF every time it and then send it back yeah this is such an in the weeds thing but if you're a PR
00:52:23
manager sending out doc Texas for signatures just take the extra minute and make it a PDF
00:52:30
and then send it to us yeah like these that's an evergreen PR statement it's
00:52:35
like PR guys just take an extra minute we'll all appreciate it way more think about it nobody watching this
00:52:41
understands what we're talking about right now but we have to sign a lot of ndas and documents and it's always a docx and nobody wants to print it out
00:52:47
anyway I want to talk about airpods adaptive audio is a new mode very cool
00:52:52
and I thought this was interesting so there's transparency mode which is now adaptive transparency it's pretty cool
00:52:58
it's mostly transparent unless a loud sound comes through then it protects your hearing then there's noise cancellation which is just reduce
00:53:04
everything and listen to your music but now the new default is called adaptive audio and I had to get some
00:53:10
clarification on this but it's basically a constantly adapting level of noise
00:53:15
cancellation based on your environment which is cool and it will be transparent when it detects you start talking yeah
00:53:22
because you're now in conversation mode so if you are walking down the street and a car passes by it'll turn that up
00:53:28
so you don't hear the car passing yeah or maybe there's a siren and you do need to hear it I don't know I don't know exactly how this works I need to test it
00:53:34
but it seems like it's supposed to be smart about this stuff you're ordering a coffee and you don't start talking to turn into transparency mode I think they
00:53:41
just want to make it so you have to touch the stems as little as possible yeah it just automatically that and also
00:53:47
just like safety-ness so you can still walk down the street while being able to like really hear your music but like if
00:53:52
that siren happens or if that like really important safety issue is like making noise that can alert you like
00:53:59
this seems like basically it's for the wear air pods everywhere people yeah are we at that maybe you guys know because
00:54:05
you're maybe wearing airpods are we at that stage of society where that happens where we like I don't know even
00:54:10
transparency mode on like my link buds if someone talks to me I just take both of them out because I feel rude there is
00:54:17
a generation of people we're getting there right no there's a generation of people who just wears them all the time
00:54:24
they wear pods for sure actually miles wore them non-stop for like the first couple of weeks that's because he's 22.
00:54:29
yeah oh my God out of your ears when you talk to me
00:54:35
Sonny no that's a good that's a great Point actually I always take my earbuds out when someone stops me on the street but I would bet you that there are a lot
00:54:41
yeah I think there are people that just yeah and they're not wrong they just understand it and like I think there's
00:54:47
so many people when I'm talking to them I don't know that they understand that I can hear them and it just feels the gray area for me is on a flight because I
00:54:54
have airpods on and a lot of other people do but I still like take an ear cup off to talk to the flight attendant yeah but also like flight attendants see
00:55:00
this all the time they must know that we can hear them through the headphones so maybe I don't have to do that I don't know I don't know note uh this is this
00:55:07
feature is not coming to airpods Max it's only coming to airpods too not even airpods for what just airpods Pro too
00:55:13
okay so it's truly for the wear them everywhere people yeah I'm actually not a huge fan of this feature like the more
00:55:19
I thought about it because the Sony's have a very similar thing the over-ear wh-1000x M3s yeah
00:55:28
um where if you start talking it'll like pause the music or into transparency mode or something
00:55:39
I
00:55:45
think the M4 has added the automatic feature on the M3s you would hold the
00:55:50
ear cup and it would turn on transparency but I have to always download the app turn that feature off and then use the headphone you don't
00:55:56
like the Sony app next topic that's a bad app um but I
00:56:02
feel like by the time we get to the point where we're all comfortable wearing earphones to talk to people all the time people will start having things
00:56:07
on your face and then we're gonna get into the weird stage of do I take my guys I'm saying dysons ahead of their time
00:56:13
quick things uh tvos now supports FaceTime so you can put your screen up
00:56:19
who is going to do this well there see this is the thing this is the this is the third theme is like apple looks at
00:56:24
what people are mostly doing with their phones and they're going oh that's a lot of people doing that we can make that better there's a lot of people who are
00:56:30
on FaceTime who want to put it on the TV and I've witnessed this with families they're like oh there's nine people in
00:56:37
the room we all want to see Grandma and they put it on the TV but then the phone the camera's here so now they have like
00:56:42
a dock they put it up next to the TV so everyone's talking about in front of your TV and nobody has a dock for their
00:56:47
team it's just it's a small Niche thing that some families do that it'll be
00:56:52
better for them also how am I gonna like text when my family's boring it's not if
00:56:58
it's at the TV now yeah but they already knock you out because if you're if you're on FaceTime and you and you like
00:57:03
multitask while you're on a FaceTime it Blocks Your it makes your camera black no not with the newest FaceTime wait
00:57:10
really yeah the newest the newest I think iOS 16 it could change use your camera feed oh really yeah okay good so
00:57:15
you can multitask and it doesn't in the past it was like yeah it would be like this person's not like this person's decent out bro it's not listening at all
00:57:21
but yeah I just feel like if you need to buy an additional Hardware dock for this
00:57:27
one Niche circumstance that you don't use that yeah I don't know if you need a dock I just know that well you need
00:57:32
something to hold your phone exactly yeah I was gonna say arrested on the TV but a lot of people Mount TVs I don't
00:57:38
know I don't know anyway it's a thing yeah is that the only thing where TVs well and then there's the like TV oh
00:57:45
share play in hotels right well that's that's it
00:57:54
I don't know in the lab that it'll take a while uh one thing that they're adding is you can use your own photos for your
00:58:01
Apple TV wallpaper now and it's basically Chromecast from literally like yeah years ago the original Chromecast
00:58:08
that just would use your Google photos albums and kind of rotate through you could now do that so Apple's looking at
00:58:14
what their own users are doing and they're looking at what everyone else's users are doing yeah we could do that too yeah uh okay watch us 10 10. they
00:58:22
had a sick as crap is can I say crap you can say duck yeah they're the sickest
00:58:28
duck animation for watch OS that was that one right yeah intro video I think David and I looked at each other and
00:58:33
we're like that was crazy I feel like they ditched a lot of just the Drone shots for this um and they did all these animations in
00:58:39
between everything they were really good I do miss the Drone stuff but the animation for this was it was pretty epic it was really good
00:58:45
yeah yeah um I don't like the logo for watching S10 I think it's kind of boring um but also logos are boring yeah yeah
00:58:53
wait I just remembered something oh sorry that also is watch OSN but we'll talk about that in a second I thought
00:58:58
the I thought some of these were pretty cool but it I'm the only one who doesn't use an Apple Watch and everyone else I know me says this looks nice
00:59:05
yeah tell us what I'm gonna enjoy I did is the Smart stack widgets not like a
00:59:12
pretty cool idea I thought that seemed really neat to just like be able to be like okay I have a bunch of widgets
00:59:17
that's basically taking account for what I'm doing in a day and then when I scroll up like it's gonna show me the
00:59:24
widget that's most likely to be the next thing that I have to do yeah yeah it didn't have to be a whole new OS version
00:59:30
but yeah it's a cool feature well they were always looking at they're always gonna push a new OS version yes of
00:59:35
course yeah I mean it's definitely not the big redesign that we thought that was rumored to happen yeah um there's
00:59:42
some cool things like they make things there's more stuff that happens in the corners of of different apps and the
00:59:48
health I did like the full screen Health app I don't know there that's mixed because so so now you used to be able to
00:59:55
see your steps your move time and your stand time all in like one screen and
01:00:02
now they're full screen is that still not there and now just when you go into each individual one it's like a more
01:00:08
detailed version I think you have to look at them on each
01:00:13
individual page it does give you more information about that metric but you
01:00:19
have to like scroll to a new page every time I mean I guess ultimately the Rings are that information yes and you see
01:00:25
them all together and then you go into more individually definitely okay that's true that's a good point yeah
01:00:31
um there's also Snoopy face you guys aren't pumped about that I actually thought that was cool that's nice it's a
01:00:37
watch face that has Snoopy and the bird is it they sit on your clock and they play
01:00:44
things and they do and like oh anyway when it rains like it it adapts to the
01:00:51
weather so when it's raining that's true he has little umbrella that is true is this a new watch face or is this a new
01:00:57
OS version this is an entire new operating system
01:01:03
yeah I guess for Snoopy baby there's a couple cool activity changes yeah one
01:01:08
that I really really like there's a bunch of cycling stuff but I don't understand anything about cycling so if you like cycling it was probably like
01:01:14
your max power level connected to a stationary bike and actually get like Cadence and stuff yeah we're connected
01:01:20
to a monitor on a bike where if you're actually cycling it'll show the information that that monitor was is
01:01:26
knowing on your Apple I think it also goes vice versa where it's gauging how
01:01:32
like your potential power output is based on your watch and the metrics from your heart rate and everything and then
01:01:37
it displays it on a phone that's mounted on your bike yeah so a lot of people bike with like a separate meter that
01:01:43
shows them things like power and Cadence okay and that stuff will pair to your watch and show it in line with your heart rate and everything else oh which
01:01:50
is pretty cool that was just completely confused about that but yeah cool I liked the hiking updates yeah and mostly one specific one that was essentially it
01:01:58
will auto-generate a waypoint in the hiking app that shows the last place that you had reception or the last place
01:02:04
that you also just had and somewhat of reception that you can send SOS signals so basically when you're hiking if
01:02:11
you're losing reception and no you need to call somebody or or are in a dangerous position where you need to
01:02:16
send an SOS you can know the last place where that is and they'll track you back to it I think that's that's something
01:02:21
stupidly cool great safety feature so handy um the other thing I just remembered though wasn't there something
01:02:27
with golf swings where like it can tell the angle of your wrists
01:02:33
so I think we need to test this because my golf swing I have enough power to
01:02:39
drive the ball but I shank is that going you you probably are slicing the ball slicing where it starts off straight and
01:02:46
turns to the right for me as a righty yes yes yeah I do that so let's see if it can fix that so they showed a demo
01:02:52
where like you swing and then because it's on your wrist it shows it knows your angle of impact at the ball I mean
01:02:57
I guess they're pretty precise sensors I just man golf swings are complicated and that that I am very skeptical about so
01:03:06
we'll see I would like to test it because I think I have enough power to where it would be noticeably different
01:03:11
because when I do actually hit the ball correctly I feel like I have a decent it's a decent hit but 99 of the time I'm
01:03:18
just hitting the right net at top call yeah it's like swaying it in yeah so they showed like uh at impact your your
01:03:24
hands were open and that's like on its face is really cool but like people have weak or strong grips so they won't be
01:03:31
open at impact even though the club face is open so do they line up their their hand with the club face or not you don't know you just have it on the wrist you
01:03:37
don't know a lot of things about the golf swing so we'll see is what people feel like when I start
01:03:42
talking about basketball yeah yes
01:03:50
this is better for mini golf because it can tell easily like when you're putting and you just do the simple backswing and
01:03:56
forward swing like oh okay I know if I went open or closed because it's a very obvious movement but the golf swing all kinds of other movements happen I'm just
01:04:03
imagining the driving range of people like fix my swing just screaming it can
01:04:08
only tell you what's wrong with your swing it can't fix you I could just tell you what you did wrong no one could not how to fix it just yet just go to
01:04:15
therapy people men will literally analyze their golf swing before going to therapy okay
01:04:22
um on that note I'll probably take a quick break there's more there's more what there's the hiking stuff oh yeah um
01:04:28
well we we said that well the topographic map there's a topographic map cool that seems cool all right all
01:04:34
right now we'll go to bed now we'll go to Breakers we got a lot of we got a lot of headsets to talk about because Apple didn't make a new first gen product
01:04:42
there's one more thing what's the one more thing okay okay there is actually one more thing there is now a mindfulness app uh where you can like
01:04:48
log your mood you can describe how you're feeling which I think like journaling your mood is probably a good this feels more like the journaling app
01:04:55
than the journaling app it does um but the thing that was kind of weird to me is that you can also they can pull
01:05:02
up a test where you can like take this test and depending on what you say It'll like suggest you go talk to someone
01:05:08
and that's I think that's good in general it just it's very interesting to see how into the health stuff apple is
01:05:17
willing to push right because Amazon you know recently bought a medical company and I could foresee Apple also be coming
01:05:25
like we have more Health Data on you than like almost any other company so okay spoiler alert this is a sort of a
01:05:32
preview into a really interesting conversation we're going to have on the podcast soon with a doctor because there
01:05:37
is a ton of Apple watch versus health questions and then the mindfulness and then how do you diagnose versus use what
01:05:43
the watch tells you so that's gonna be a whole episode so stay tuned for that subscribe if you haven't already to see
01:05:49
that but um I think the the funny ironic part to end on is there is a data point
01:05:54
which tells you hey you've been really close to a screen a lot lately yeah maybe maybe back off for a little bit
01:05:59
and be further from a screen and then we immediately got into the next product which is strapping screen
01:06:05
to your face yeah so on that note we'll take a break and we'll come back and we'll talk about Vision Pro
01:06:11
[Music]
01:06:20
all right welcome back we got one more thing to talk about just like apple had one more thing to talk
01:06:25
about and it was the first generation of a new product category
01:06:31
a watch no just kidding it's a headset it's a it's an AR VR headset and this
01:06:36
again completes the theme of Apple not wanting to use words that other companies use at no point did they want
01:06:44
to say this is an AR VR headset they didn't say virtual reality very often
01:06:49
they actually called it spatial Computing yes before they said AR VR but the point is it's a headset
01:06:56
that you put on your face that costs three thousand five hundred dollars will come out early next year
01:07:03
and uh well they give a bunch of demos of it I got to try it it has a bunch of really
01:07:10
interesting Tech let's talk about it yeah yeah um so on the like XR extended reality uh
01:07:19
spatial Computing idea front I actually I was thinking about this all night last
01:07:24
night I was like writing about my feelings about this headset last night just to get my feelings out about it
01:07:29
I actually think that the journal app no yeah Journal I actually think that the
01:07:35
extended reality like spatial Computing phrasing is really good for this headset because
01:07:41
it is not really supposed to be a VR headset like it is so for those
01:07:48
listening and also watching there's like this digital there's a digital crown on it that you can turn and as you turn it
01:07:55
it takes you from The Real World into a more digital world and you can just on
01:08:01
the fly whenever you feel like it put yourself more in a digital world or more in a real world and I think that that is
01:08:08
a really good idea because virtual reality headsets you only are
01:08:13
able to be in VR and for so many people that means that the only use case for
01:08:19
using a VR headset is basically like playing games or that kind of stuff right whatever's in a virtual world yeah
01:08:25
yeah but that means that you're gonna only be in that virtual world and you have no other options and most people
01:08:31
don't want to be immersed in this virtual world for a long period of time because one just evolutionarily people
01:08:38
don't like not being able to see or feel what's around them like there are predators that could attack you right
01:08:44
um and so I think that Apple wants this to feel just like an extension of what
01:08:49
you're already doing which is what AR was originally sort of intended for and the reason I think that Google Glass was
01:08:55
like one of the best inventions ever but it just got completely destroyed because of privacy concerns
01:09:01
um but I think their point with this is that they want you to mostly just like be in real life but then be able to like
01:09:09
use those experiences when you want to interesting um so yeah do you want to talk more about like what the headset is
01:09:16
yeah I'll give you so I'll give you the breakdown basically of controls versus other headsets so if you've ever seen an
01:09:21
AR VR headset typically a VR headset is this plastic shell you strap to your face and then you get a set of
01:09:26
controllers or you can do stuff with your hands this is a metal and glass
01:09:31
headset that you strap to your face there are no controllers being made for
01:09:36
it it isn't controlled entirely by your hands your eyes your eyes and your voice
01:09:43
the eyes is the craziest this to me is like the big difference really with like an Apple product obviously there's a lot
01:09:49
more to talk about but really it feels like The Innovation here was UI again like it reminds me a lot of the first
01:09:55
iPhone where you have this like pinch to zoom moment on stage and everyone goes whoa you can just pinch the screen and
01:10:01
make it bigger and it seems so obvious now but the same thing happens in that headset where instead of like the normal
01:10:07
experience which is I have the controller I point out in space and I hold a trigger and I like drag something
01:10:13
and this one I just look at what I want to touch and then I just touch my
01:10:19
fingertips together and it clicks it and your fingertips can be anywhere they can be in your lap they can be off to the
01:10:25
side almost anywhere almost anywhere as long as you're in the front somewhere but honestly I try so I did my demo like
01:10:30
I did it by accident like yeah on the couch next to my fingers connected and I clicked something by accident I should
01:10:35
say you have to try to be out of range sure of course yeah yeah you can't do it like this yeah I heard people talking
01:10:40
about how they were like testing it and like it does get I mean so or if like I guess something is like in the way of
01:10:46
your hands right yeah so there are cameras two on the front two on the side two facing down so generally think about
01:10:52
that that's where it's sensing things it's a 180 degree field of view basically yeah it's got a super high
01:10:58
resolution display for each eye well over 4K it's the sharpest VR headset I've ever seen it has a lot of cameras
01:11:04
and the two on the front are for stereoscopic 3D and it does full color pass-through it's the best pass-through
01:11:11
in any headset I've ever seen definitely and then the eye tracking is borderline
01:11:18
telepathic so what happens is with the headset you start with a calibration thing so it shows some dots on the
01:11:23
screen like a DOT appears and it shrinks down and you look at it and another dot appears and you look at it and so it's looking at your irises there's a bunch
01:11:29
of sensors on the inside to see what your eyes are looking at and then once it's done with that it opens up you get
01:11:34
to the home screen and the UI is there you hit the digital Crown the apps show up and you just look at the icon and it
01:11:40
highlights like me and then others are still and you look at another icon it's like oh me and it's this really
01:11:45
interesting like telepathic dance where like I look all over the screen and as soon as my eye stops it highlights
01:11:51
exactly what I'm looking at there's a home screen bar at the bottom there's a little icon to like drag to make Windows
01:11:57
bigger God there's so much to talk about I know I look out a window I select it and I
01:12:02
push it back in space and with Incredible precision and responsiveness it moves it around the room exactly
01:12:08
where I want in any UI Direction there are shadows cast under the windows in the room so I'm moving a window back and
01:12:15
I see it cast a shadow I have Safari going I'm scrolling up and down you know with like the physics of like an iPhone
01:12:21
scrolling you can like scroll it up and catch it and like toss it around you can do all of that in the air in real time
01:12:27
unbelievably responsive yeah more so than any I've ever seen I mean I tried the quest Pro and the quest Pro is as
01:12:33
close as I've seen to that there's a psvr2 um just this one is it's the highest
01:12:39
quality UI of any headset I've ever seen with the pass-through and the eye control and the hands and everything
01:12:46
um a lot of other interesting features there's the iris scanning unlocking it's called what uh
01:12:56
just because your eyes is unique as your fingerprint so that's cool um borderline creepy borderline creepy
01:13:03
but at least it's just like IR camera for sure on like how to unlock something and then I think the most iconic piece
01:13:08
of this whole thing is this headset appears to be transparent but it is not
01:13:13
what you're seeing when you're looking at the headset and there are eyes looking back at you it's actually just a
01:13:21
sort of a it's an OLED screen flipped around showing what your eyes are computed to look like on the inside
01:13:27
uh but really it only shows up when you're in some sort of a pass-through mode and you can see other things in the
01:13:33
room yeah as soon as you're not in a pass-through mode if you're watching a movie or you can't see anything it shuts
01:13:38
it down you don't see the eyes and it's just like an animation and this is one of those things that is it's fascinating
01:13:46
it's one I don't think we're gonna see any other headset do this I think it adds a lot of cost it adds a lot of
01:13:51
weight and it adds no benefit to the person actually wearing the headset it's mainly just so that you can wear it
01:13:58
without looking like a meme of the eye thing yeah I think that I think makes you look like a man well it does but it
01:14:04
it I think they were specifically thinking about how do we make this acceptable to wear out in public and so
01:14:10
don't do it also I I do think they would argue that the part that is benefiting the person wearing it is in that
01:14:17
situation someone comes into your field of view and you're trying to communicate with them is you don't have to take it off now yeah or that's what they want
01:14:22
you they don't want you to take it off and like that taking it on and off is is benef but I'm just you this is their
01:14:29
argument not mine it's beneficial to the person wearing it because you're not taking it off I think the weird thing
01:14:35
about the eyes is like I think it shows one of the coolest things that I think they did really well and then everyone's
01:14:42
only focusing on the eyes which is kind of the weird part it's really cool that you can have windows open and someone comes close enough to you where it
01:14:48
assumes you want to like they want to talk to you like you're not stuck in this this so your world like feature for
01:14:55
this that part is really cool where it comes forward and it pushes them through the screen and that's when it activates the eyes because then you're
01:15:01
communicating with them that is really cool and it's only when you make eye contact with each other so they can be
01:15:07
like in here but only when you like look at them they sort of like Fade Into Your virtual reality yeah well they need to
01:15:13
be able to they fade in if they just get close enough I don't think so you can't make eye contact for someone if there's
01:15:19
a window okay so you can because you can you can look over it in that direction behind you if they come from behind a
01:15:25
screen you can't make eye contact with them they're not always going to make it into those spaces if they come from behind a screen it it goes like 10 more
01:15:34
transparent than usual and you can see that there is a face there and then if you choose to look at the face then they
01:15:39
sort of like fog away it still like finds a way to fade someone in when it thinks there's someone in close enough
01:15:45
to you rather than just being completely oblivious yeah which is a feature I have not seen
01:15:51
on like that the way that it does it is so
01:15:57
amazing like yeah just the the fluency of them like slowly fading in and then
01:16:02
you kind of look at them and they fade in a lot more and then if even if you're in full virtual mode if you're looking
01:16:08
at them suddenly you've just got this person that's there as well it's freaking amazing that sounds kind of
01:16:14
creepy but also is way less creepy than somebody just standing outside if you don't know they're there so like I think
01:16:21
that is an awesome feature but then that feature everyone's just thinking about the stupid eyes that come in front of it
01:16:28
which is like it's so cool and so memeable at the same time like the whole crowd was laughing when they kept
01:16:33
showing eyes coming through it was really interesting so just disclosure David and I have tried the headset and
01:16:39
we've gotten our demos of it and there was like a 30 minute full demo of a bunch of different features I want to hit on a couple other features and
01:16:45
things we got to try one is you can do face times in the headset it's its own computer with an M2 Chip and an R1 chip
01:16:51
which is doing all the real-time processing of the sensors and you can jump on a FaceTime and you don't have to have a pair to an iPhone or anything
01:16:57
it's connected to Wi-Fi and you pick up the FaceTime and there's like a window or two windows or however many people
01:17:03
are on and you can see everyone's face times and their video feeds but what do they see oh funny you ask uh
01:17:10
they will see a 3D reconstructed version of you that
01:17:15
is sort of animated in real time to match the way you look and you actually have to scan yourself in by turning a
01:17:21
headset around and scanning yourself as a registration process yeah and so then there's this like high-res cartoon
01:17:27
version of you and I actually got to chat with one of them which I assume you did too yeah yeah it's kind of like Google starline-ish a little bit worse
01:17:34
quality I would say yeah yeah um so that was that was interesting to see the demos made it look like and you
01:17:39
guys can confirm this like the quality of your face in Starline was better but
01:17:45
the like cut out of Starline was really rough and that looked like the actual image of it was better just like lower
01:17:52
quality well so there's no background or anything yeah it's just kind of like a floating but Starline had like that
01:17:58
weird like squiggly cut out yeah because they tried to put you on like a fake background yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean
01:18:03
Starline was a million times more Mercer because it's a 60 inch real screen but this was more just like a little
01:18:08
floating window in front of you yeah and a like a weak Sports Avatar yeah it is
01:18:14
it was sort of this weird like you know how meta announced the the really high resolution because there's that Meme of
01:18:21
of Zuck like standing in front of the Eiffel Tower like looking like worse than a Wii graphic and then they're like
01:18:28
no no this is what it's actually going to look like in the future and they have like this way higher resolution you're gonna be able to scan yourself in yeah
01:18:34
it basically is like that and it's this weird like you know it's digital because
01:18:40
it's got this weird texture yeah that's what I was trying to explain like it looks from the things and like you
01:18:46
looking at it was probably almost looks like do you know when they like blend a bunch of faces together to show you like
01:18:51
the like what the average person would look like or like if we were all together it's got sad it's like an
01:18:57
uncanny valley thing and I I don't know if people are going to respond well to
01:19:03
this they might get used to it um but it's just strange like previously
01:19:08
Apple you know in FaceTime allowed you to be a memoji and yeah I think that's so far away from uncanny valley that
01:19:15
people were just like used to that it's just a funny thing but this feels like what a Sci-Fi representation of like
01:19:21
people are in Holograms this one I feel like is why you have to look forward into the future because this is the
01:19:26
first gen version of it but let's say theoretically in the future this gets much better much smaller and much higher
01:19:32
quality yeah then maybe it's acceptable to like jump on a FaceTime with a high-res animated version of you and
01:19:38
there's hand tracking and face tracking and stuff yeah I guess it's got like it's got good um mapping of your face though because
01:19:45
it's got those downwards facing cameras that are seeing your facial expressions so it's not just guessing what your facial expressions are the one thing
01:19:52
that was pulling me out of it was like the movements around your eye right like it knows the direction you're looking
01:19:58
because it has the iris scanners and stuff there's a lot more happening there's a lot more happening that you're not even really noticing actively like
01:20:05
in your cheekbones and your eyebrows and stuff that those were pretty static and that's why it felt well you also have a
01:20:11
thing pressing up against your face at that point so those things can't really exactly exactly so yeah that was strange
01:20:18
this this feels like a kind of weird like when you're gonna FaceTime your friends or your family and you're the
01:20:23
only person with this are they gonna be like I don't know how I feel about this probably there's a bunch of people in 2D
01:20:29
and it's just like well and it just feels really impersonal right I said this in the video like when I'm FaceTiming friends and family I'm trying
01:20:35
to see my friends and family like actually see them right and at this particular moment this 2023 version of
01:20:41
it it does not feel like I'm actually seeing the person maybe in the future it's so high res and accurate and it's a
01:20:48
recent scan because this is the thing I could scan myself a month ago and I'm using that old scan it's like that's not what I look like right now but maybe it
01:20:54
eventually it gets really good and it feels like I'm talking to a person but right now it feels worse than a FaceTime this is like a better version of an
01:20:59
audio call but worse than a video call I was gonna say this looks like a better version of the like meta like AR VR
01:21:06
business stuff this feels like a business thing not a person yeah like I wouldn't care if I'm just doing a meeting with it's like you guys like and
01:21:12
we're doing like oh let's go over and edit or doing something in 3D like yeah I don't care quite as much as like what
01:21:18
we feel like we're doing in the moment but FaceTime feels way more personal and this feels a little weird for that this
01:21:23
to me feels like a perfect feature that will make sense in 10 years like the digital Crown right now when you rotate
01:21:29
it it'll go from VR to AR right yeah the goal is to always have it rotated so that you're just in AR is that not the
01:21:36
case well the 10 years they want you to always be in AR not necessarily mode yeah they already want you to mostly be
01:21:42
an AR but you can switch it but you can switch it to VR because sometimes being that's only because that's what we're capable of right now I don't think like
01:21:49
if this was just an AR machine that would be weird like they have to add the VR things no one's going to wear this for the functionality of what's
01:21:55
currently available it seems like there's a lot there's a lot of potential use case in each yeah like with ar with
01:22:01
having like your computer monitors up but being able to see your co-workers
01:22:06
around you just like that feels like a kind of useful AR thing but if I'm watching a movie I don't want to see
01:22:12
anything else yeah so like VR I want I want to watch a sports game or a movie or something I want full VR but I feel
01:22:19
like they're only adding those features because they have to because the headset is so big adding the VR features like if they
01:22:25
could have made the glasses yesterday or two days ago whenever they announced this they would have just done that and then we're so far away I think that
01:22:32
removes the ability to do most of the best stuff in VR which is like we have cool games we have cool experiences if I
01:22:39
want to like really immerse myself in this virtual world that was a lot of the interesting stuff too it's like they showed a bunch of content that was shot
01:22:45
for it and it was really really immersive and good it was and I think if
01:22:51
you don't have the ability to shut out the outside environment you don't fully appreciate that I want to specifically like first of all yeah like the the
01:22:58
immersive stuff um watching movies was really interesting I've watched I've used so many VR headsets where like you
01:23:04
basically have a 200 inch display and it actually felt like I was in a movie theater like they put it far enough back
01:23:10
and there's like this kind of like this depth that you get even in full VR that I've never had from a different headset
01:23:16
before but specifically the like XR mixed reality feature that kind of blew
01:23:21
me away the most was how how good it is at understanding spatial reasoning so so
01:23:28
first of all when we were doing the demo you're sitting in a couch and the display pops up in front of you and you
01:23:34
can pin windows and stuff when I say pin Windows like with other AR stuff that
01:23:40
sort of understands your space the the windows will kind of like kind of glitch around they'll jiggle because they're
01:23:46
trying to understand like where are you again like but no it's like you can walk around the room and if this is here it
01:23:52
is there it is not moving at all if you put a window on the ceiling It'll like spin around and walk around the room and
01:23:58
look back up there it's exactly where you put it that's one of my questions because Andrew and I didn't get to try it so like when you walk in for this
01:24:04
demo is there like Furniture in the room yeah there's furniture they did a decent job it was like a normal looking room
01:24:09
there's some photos if you look at the Good Morning America interview there's stuff maybe not as cluttered as an
01:24:15
average yeah there's a couch there's a table in front of you I actually think the more stuff you have the more tracking points it has to latch onto which is probably fine um but yeah it
01:24:21
was a pretty normal room was the goal I think the demo that really showed that off to me the most and that blew me away the most is first of all every single VR
01:24:28
headset that you will ever use has or ar headset has a T-Rex dinosaur demo for
01:24:34
some reason to make it just so you get that like oh I'm scared of this large thing but there was a that exact
01:24:40
dinosaur demo I think they showed it in the keynote but basically this this gate portal thing opens up in the wall and it
01:24:47
it feels like it's the wall is opening up because the spatial pinning is so good but the thing that was interesting
01:24:53
about this demo is they're like so get up walk over to the wall you know they
01:24:59
actually have you walk around and the cool thing is like the the refresh rate or whatever and it's and the cameras are
01:25:04
so good that I didn't feel like I needed to like be careful about where I was walking I felt like I could just walk
01:25:09
freely through it yeah this is the transparency was good enough like I walked right around the table cut you off really quick I don't think people
01:25:15
understand how important that is like we've tried every single pass through you can probably think of and they're
01:25:21
not great so like this is one thing specifically looking at that that I'm glad you guys got to experience was like pass-through is not very easy because
01:25:28
there's you have to have different cameras and the 3D space is like not remember that one
01:25:33
I forget what that headset was but when you went into pass-through mode things further away and things closer to you
01:25:39
would start wobbling off axis of each other because like those cameras aren't like
01:25:44
Computing them together well and that just immediately is like I'm in this weird space and I do not feel
01:25:50
comfortable moving totally so that's like crazy that's really really impressive it's a really nice how
01:25:55
impressive it is a really Niche way of understanding that that only us will understand you know we've tried to play ping pong and other headsets you could
01:26:02
do it in this one yeah you could actually play ping pong with the headset either way yeah totally yeah no it's so
01:26:08
good it's so good like I felt no oh God I'm gonna trip oh God maybe I don't see this thing oh God maybe the refresh
01:26:15
rate's not high enough especially because depth is usually a problem like I feel like if I toss something up in front of me I would I would maybe be
01:26:20
almost able to catch it but it would like hit me in the wrist or something yeah I'm throwing a frisbee I think we can do it yeah I'm yeah I think you
01:26:27
could do well we're playing guts yeah I don't know but I do think if I wanted to
01:26:32
play ping pong virtually with someone in AR and I could stand in front of a table or yeah like a real like fun game of
01:26:40
multiplayer ping pong but the apps are gonna be fun but yeah so the spatial reason thing with this with this T-Rex
01:26:46
demo specifically that was like oh my God was they they get you to stand up from the couch you walk over like to the
01:26:52
wall with the gate open and everything and the T-Rex is like coming out and he like comes out of the wall and it
01:26:59
doesn't matter like usually with these demos you have to stand straight in front of the wall and it if you kind of
01:27:04
like Get Off axis a little bit it kind of messes up kind of like the star line thing but with this you can like go over
01:27:09
to the other side of the room and kind of look at the wall from over there and the the space is exactly the T-Rex is
01:27:17
exactly rendered perfectly quality and it knows where you are so it like comes out of the wall a little bit and it kind
01:27:23
of gets up to your face and it's snarling and because these this uh headset also has spatial audio
01:27:29
so not only is there like the spatial rendering of your vision but there's
01:27:34
also the spatial noise and it makes it so immersive because you're like here and the T-Rex is staring directly at you
01:27:41
you feel it right in your if you turn like to your right you feel it's like snarling in your ear it's it's crazy
01:27:49
it's really hard to explain because I know that a lot of people have tried these kind of demos and it's like uh like the first time I ever tried VR was
01:27:55
trying a Vive in a Microsoft store and I play this game where you're underwater and there's like a whale that goes over
01:28:02
you I think it's called like the blue and I felt my heart start racing because I felt the scale of the whale it was
01:28:09
kind of the same thing with this yeah I actually there was also some footage that was like because I think with the T-Rex
01:28:15
I kind of could not really fully suspend disbelief because it's a T-Rex yeah and we like
01:28:20
held our hand out in like a butterfly landed on our finger and stuff and that was cool but there was also footage where like a baby rhino yeah like walk
01:28:27
right up to you I was like I now know exactly what it would look like if a baby rhino was right in front of me
01:28:32
Apple's got the money that could have been real it was I didn't smell it but I saw it so
01:28:37
it was speaking of that Rhino demo they had a few of these like um XR videos right yeah and another
01:28:45
feature they added to this headset that we were everyone was memeing I don't know because you should is that because
01:28:50
they have all these cameras on it and they're all at sort of different angles you can take 3D videos right and so they
01:28:57
have content that is like spatial video content which all the demos they had on
01:29:02
the headset were really freaking cool for the spatial video content except they suspect apparently that people are
01:29:11
you can also take your own 3D depth videos right and they had this moment in
01:29:16
the keynote where there's this like child's birthday party and it's this
01:29:21
little girl with all her friends and there's a cake and she's blowing out the candles and the smoke is like going right into your face and ever it's kind
01:29:28
of like half faded out half faded into reality so it kind of feels like a portal into a memory yeah which is
01:29:35
exactly how the idea of a portal into a memory would look in like most sci-fi stuff I thought you dripped water into
01:29:42
like a sorry
01:29:48
um and it was it was fine it was cool I I think the thing about this is that
01:29:53
first of all making something 3D does not inherently make it better we learned
01:29:58
this with 3D TVs with 3D movies like in some cases at times we have to teach you this lesson sometimes it like takes you
01:30:05
out of the immersion and it was like kind of cool but the thing that makes this truly terrible is that if you're
01:30:11
the dad at the birthday party yeah why why do you look like this
01:30:16
you've got this giant headset on your face and you've just got your stick in your head like right into the birthday cakes
01:30:23
and the eyes also are like like oh the eyes are
01:30:29
it could be and you as a parent get to look back at this leader imagine that child's memory
01:30:34
of now like wanting to pull out their candles but their dad's just like hovering over them
01:30:39
come on do it hold on I'm not recording I just feel like with photos and video there is a point of diminishing returns
01:30:45
where like adding extra like immersion features to the photos and video really just makes it worse
01:30:51
I can see 3D like photos or like like Memories like that
01:30:57
being something kind of cool in the future but you have to not diminish the experience in the process of capturing
01:31:02
it correct yeah this is another look 10 years into the future type thing yeah where theoretically the tech gets nice
01:31:09
and small and it looks like a pair of glasses and it's not too bad and you can record this ultra high resolution memory
01:31:14
and relive the memory without looking like an insane person maybe that's fine take away from being 90 and being able
01:31:21
to like oh this was my kid when they were 10 blowing out of breath that that in general sounds cool yeah but you're
01:31:27
messing up that entire experience you're messing up your child just put that technology on a GoPro on a stick so
01:31:34
sometime in the future they'll figure that out I don't think this is it I just want to say how Black Mirror this is by
01:31:39
the way it's like you know your your wife dies way too early and then you're just like you're sitting in your headset
01:31:45
just like watching her on the couch doing her like you know in every like sad movie they're running on like you
01:31:52
replay the memory like six times in a row like I wish I was here again yeah it's like holy crap yeah
01:31:58
um yeah it got dark yeah because this because I think a lot of the discourse
01:32:03
around this was like this feels really dystopian because and I think a core problem potentially with
01:32:10
this headset or with any XR headset is that this is such a you and only you
01:32:16
device right every video that they showed they didn't have multiple people in the room except for that like playing
01:32:22
that video of the child's birthday party it was always one person sitting alone in their five million dollar apartment
01:32:29
and that was it in the workplace they had a bunch of examples of like the workplace and having people handing you
01:32:34
things but I do agree it's never two people using that it's not social it's always like one one person in the
01:32:41
headset and they're the only one yeah I think while we're on the topic let's go over the couple of negatives the
01:32:46
downsides that I was immediately able to pinpoint just to get them out the way right so one of them is it's 3 500 and
01:32:53
that's obviously gonna limit how many people are gonna try it I think that's an intentional though yes that is definitely intentional and it's got Pro
01:32:59
in the name and obviously you can see a version in the future with not pro in the name number two um so this is interesting there's no
01:33:05
haptics because there's no controllers and I think that's fine but it was interesting that it could sort of take
01:33:11
me out of uh the the full immersion you know gloves in the future I don't know you say
01:33:17
there's no haptics but this is something I talked to with Shen before asking him why all hand gestures in VR seem to be
01:33:24
tapping and he said because that is about yourself like that part is people like I guess there's still the flicking
01:33:29
thing which if you flick I guess there is still some sort of but he said the reason they do hand gestures like that and not just pointing is because you're
01:33:36
making some sort of contact and that sure represents it better yeah but all the rest of the stuff like scrolling and
01:33:42
Safari and hitting the bottom of the page everything is virtual like once something when I wanted to like pet the dinosaur or the or the butterfly landed
01:33:48
on my hand you feel nothing you feel nothing like we did the haptic gloves demo and that's like so far from like solving a problem but that's just
01:33:54
something I noticed I do it's intentional obviously I don't want you to have to have controller
01:33:59
um number three is it's heavy it's glass and aluminum yeah and it's it's got a
01:34:06
separate battery pack to save weight but even that it's heavy even without that battery yeah how big is the battery pack
01:34:12
it's hard get scale
01:34:20
it's got a USBC port on it so you can plug it into the wall for all-day battery which is a hilarious spec or
01:34:27
plug it into another battery pack yeah I did not like the non-replaceable USBC battery pack just like have that have
01:34:34
that I understand that it needs to have the like locking and mechanism and the nice wire just put a USBC cord at the
01:34:40
end of it think of it as a power brick think of it like a laptop with a power brake well it's a laptop with no battery
01:34:47
inside and a power brick where the battery is in the brick like a desktop so like if you ever want to unplug from
01:34:53
the wall a desktop nothing just the battery but if everyone unplug if I want to unplugs from a wall I have two hours
01:34:58
to find a plug basically that's how it goes I2 hour battery life yeah I don't know I think they're reasoning Andrew
01:35:04
for the reason that it because it looks nice and it's Apple no it's you can't put that much weight
01:35:09
also on the headset well no no no the reason it's not that removable yeah Okay the reason I think it's not removable is
01:35:15
because they don't want the the USBC cable to like just come off and then all
01:35:21
of a sudden it just goes to Black and dies in the middle of it like apple is so intentional about we don't want this
01:35:27
to feel we want it to feel like such an extension of your reality we don't want you to suddenly be like Ugh what
01:35:33
happened and then you have this like weird shock value to your point they do have this pin hole in the battery that
01:35:39
you that I assume is a way to remove the cable if the cable breaks so you can
01:35:45
replace the cable and not replace the battery itself the cynic in me says that they'll sell this for 200 in the Apple
01:35:51
Store the battery well it should come with one battery I think they should sell a bigger battery or additional
01:35:56
batteries yeah but yeah I just think it's weird having to plug two battery packs in at the same time I agree for
01:36:03
sure no you plug it you only plug one in but you can yeah you have more yeah then you play another battery package yeah
01:36:09
and be mobile if you don't want to plug into the wall but like this whole thing is not to be connected to the wall like
01:36:14
yeah it should not really be in that scenario very often it's interesting yeah I kind of Wonder I don't know yet
01:36:19
but I wonder how much of this will be used plugged in versus not I kind of suspect it'll be plugged in a lot I feel
01:36:25
like that takes away from a lot of the things you guys are describing that are really good watching a movie on the couch watching movies sure using it as a
01:36:32
computer at your desk it can be plugged in in a lot of these situations yeah but even at your desk then the wires getting
01:36:37
tangled up in the chair because you're like I don't know I don't think that yeah I think a lot of people will be
01:36:43
double battery packing just make a backpack well you shouldn't double Eco
01:36:48
flow on your back just plugged right in yeah so the you can disconnect it from
01:36:53
the headset it's like a quarter turn locking thing so I assume you can just unplug that and theoretically buy a
01:37:00
bigger battery pack or whatever so you should never have to have two bedrooms no some third party is going to make a
01:37:05
bigger better with that connector I don't know I hope so I'm assuming that's a weird connector mfv
01:37:14
yeah the locking mechanism I I would bet you that they patented that my proprietary just like no one makes Mac
01:37:21
say stuff now yeah interesting yeah I would be that because they probably don't trust like third parties to have a
01:37:28
battery that actually doesn't take you out of the immersion randomly I think it puts out it's a weird spot I'm sure I
01:37:34
understand that but also something I didn't hear either of you guys talk about or just really anyone is there's
01:37:39
also an another strap that you can have that goes over the top of your head yeah yeah I had no they didn't mention that
01:37:46
in the keynote I think that's also intentional it is an
01:37:51
optional accessory that's probably in the box that I think everyone should use because it's so heavy that you're going
01:37:56
to want to use it I completely agree I heard it's so heavy that it sounds like almost everyone will be using it but I
01:38:01
guess it just doesn't look as nice it doesn't look presenting it for sure I will say the materials are insanely nice
01:38:08
um that's pretty the strap is really crazy nice one thing that really like kind of blew me away is like when you put it on when you're tightening it a
01:38:15
lot of the a lot of other headsets you have to just kind of like pull it and like tighten it around your head this one it's got like this kind of crown
01:38:22
that you like you twist and it's got a clicking ratchets it's got ratchets and you you hear it and feel like
01:38:28
and it's it just feels so smooth and seamless but you feel it slowly tightening around your head yeah I think
01:38:35
it's really good those are for like my new adjustments right like I think there was they said there was some sort or
01:38:40
that's for them bottled to your no the strap is not modeled to your head the light seals around it are made they
01:38:47
mentioned something in the keynote that was like there it was adjustable and then that was just for like minuscule
01:38:53
adjustments when like and like on the Fly for like oh this is not feeling too tight I'm gonna loosen it up that's true but you also have to use it to put it on
01:39:00
like you have to like loosen it to be able to take it off there are other our
01:39:05
headsets that do that but the the quality and the mechanism is so good the material is pretty great again it's
01:39:10
heavy yeah but it is really high also the head strap that you were talking about the the way that you tighten that
01:39:16
is also very seamless yeah and everything about it is uh it's like modular so every single part you can
01:39:21
take off and almost every single part of it is also machine washable which I think is awesome nice so you can like
01:39:27
clean it and wash it really easily and the main actual headset is that is not huge it's just the mechanisms to keep it
01:39:33
on your head or I don't know yeah volume um yeah yeah do you have any other like
01:39:39
questions about the demo or anything I don't think so yeah I think the main two
01:39:44
things like from not just you guys but everyone that I talked to that tried it it was the main things they said was
01:39:51
that worked way better than I expected because everyone saw no controllers and thought I've tried every other VR
01:39:56
headset and that's not gonna work and they were very surprised by it worked and then it immediately went to and that was heavy and the battery Pack's kind of
01:40:02
weird but then like I don't care I loved using it and that was wild oh and then it's really expensive think about it
01:40:09
like a first generation of a new iPhone it almost feels hard to think about as
01:40:14
first generation because it sounds like it's working so well it's just it's priced like first generation and maybe there's not as many things available it
01:40:21
just has so many parallels to me to the first iPhone where number one right now it just has Apple apps and of course
01:40:28
it's gonna launch next year and we should have a bunch more apps but it has Apple apps right now and those are the ones that sort of demonstrate how you're
01:40:34
going to use it and what it does best and then the UI and the way you interact with it is the Revolutionary part of it
01:40:41
just like how pinch to zoom was incredibly responsive and worked so well on the first iPhone compared to any other phone this one the eye tracking
01:40:48
and the Hand tracking and the way you move those windows around and interact with things and scroll has the same Vibe
01:40:53
it's like I've never seen a headset do it this well and if it gets better at all I'll be very happy I do think that's something
01:41:00
that I asked you guys after which was like this worked so flawlessly and was
01:41:05
so amazing is part of the reason we're so impressed by this because of all the ones we've tried before it that I've
01:41:11
tried to do and they just are not good yeah it's the iPhone of headsets yeah
01:41:16
that's I think that's like kind of the crazy part that when you look at 3 500 I still don't know if I was like
01:41:23
this stuff works is that worth that but it's just like that stuff didn't work this does so I don't know if it's worth
01:41:28
it but it's really cool other versions of it it's doing yeah other versions of it worked pretty well but wouldn't have
01:41:34
all of those things at once like Sony has good eye tracking but not the most
01:41:40
incredible hand tracking yeah like the Oculus the quest Pro The Meta Quest Pro
01:41:45
had decent pass-through and like is lighter and could do some of these
01:41:50
things but you needed controllers enough though there wasn't good across the board there's a point of no return where
01:41:56
like I could not if I used anything worse than this now I would just be like
01:42:02
this sucks if this is 60 as good as you guys are saying it is it blows The Meta
01:42:07
Quest out it does and I think it's way more than that like I believe everything you guys are saying and this feels like the metaquest pro is horrible and that's
01:42:15
exactly why I don't think this PR you can't really compare the price to anything else because it's like everything else is garbage and then this
01:42:22
is really the reason you can compare the prices like am I spending 3 500 to do these things in here for sure like the
01:42:28
use of the usability for sure absolutely if we're just comparing like if you 100 want these AR VR goggles yeah then the
01:42:36
prices I'm not saying people should buy this exactly if you want to reduce it to just a checklist it looks insane it's
01:42:42
like can you watch a movie in the regular Quest yes can you watch a movie in this yes okay can you use hand
01:42:47
controls in one yes can you do in hand controls yes one yes so they both like check most of the boxes pass through yeah pass through tracking yeah tracking
01:42:54
apps yeah apps games of course games but the difference is so much more oh yeah I
01:43:00
think if you want a headset I would spend the extra money on this I just don't know if you you're not sure if you
01:43:07
want a headset if you're not sure if you want to have 10 yeah don't buy any of the existing headsets including this one also um something that's interesting to
01:43:13
me is that when Oculus announced the or meta announced the metaquest 3 like last
01:43:19
week right I watched that intro for that video and they were like we have 500
01:43:25
apps and I was like that is not very many considering like considering how
01:43:31
long the meta Quest ecosystem has been around 500 apps is not very much and also I
01:43:37
would bet you that 75 of those are garbage yeah they're probably only people buy Android flexing how many apps
01:43:43
there are in the App Store it's like well how many good apps are there right where the interesting thing with like the iPhone for example and the Android
01:43:50
App Store um is that you it's a multi-tool that does literally everything if I never use
01:43:57
this one thing but then at this one moment I'm like oh I really need a light meter I can look up light meter and
01:44:03
they're just a bunch of light meter apps on the app store right and I think the interesting thing that the the Apple
01:44:09
ecosystem has if Apple's actually able to get so many developers to Port their apps to this to make new apps for it is
01:44:16
that they're just gonna blow every other headset out of the water in terms of what can you do with it that's the Apple
01:44:22
superpower yeah that's I think that's a good place to end it which is like it is early it doesn't come out till next year
01:44:27
we've only got to try for 30 minutes there's not a lot we know yeah but what we do know is this is going to slot into
01:44:33
the world of VR headsets where the the advantage to any one headset typically has been quality or features and the
01:44:40
advantage to this apple one is going to be now there's an entire giant developer Community that's like feasting over like
01:44:46
oh this is it I'm going to make the best app I can and blow up in VR and this is their chance to make the best apps
01:44:52
possible and those are all going to really showcase what this thing is capable of and the technology will back it up and there'll be quality
01:44:58
experiences it will ride or die on if there are good apps for it so it's kind
01:45:03
of like a chicken or the egg thing yeah and I think they had to make the good Hardware to entice those developers and
01:45:09
they did that and because they've nailed that I can't wait to see what apps show up and we just have to wait and we don't
01:45:14
even know what they're going to make yet we'll just wait and see there could be an incredible calculator app for all we know
01:45:20
like one more point that I want to make yeah and it's that this is like the only product that Apple makes that isn't an
01:45:27
accessory for the iPhone right like the airpods are its own entire industry and
01:45:33
they're an accessory for the iPhone the Apple watch accessory for the iPhone MacBook the MacBook came out before the
01:45:39
iPhone true uh but you could argue that so many of the things that make the
01:45:44
MacBook useful is that it works with your iPhone I think that's true about the headset too but what do you do besides be besides having an Apple ID
01:45:51
and like doing FaceTime and stuff what necessarily makes this an iPhone an
01:45:56
accessory well not an iPhone accessory but it's an ecosystem plug where like if
01:46:02
I look at a Macbook my MacBook screen levitates out the top and suddenly I'm doing like Final Cut editing with the
01:46:07
trackpad and all this stuff yeah if I have messages on it FaceTime it's like the ecosystem plug part is real even
01:46:13
though it's not an iPhone accessory but you could just have a Macbook and an Android phone like Alex does and use
01:46:19
this headset and you don't really need an iPhone Apple ecosystem in general is that everything works better yeah when
01:46:25
you have everything together but some things kind of only work if you have an iPhone like the Apple watch you know right yeah yeah this is its own I think
01:46:32
this is kind of like a Mac in that it's a standalone computer but it will definitely plug into the ecosystem
01:46:37
really well by Design and that's why I think the 3 500 price I guess it's stupidly expensive for sure but you're
01:46:44
also buying basically a whole computer yeah it has an M2 in it where's like an Oculus Quest it can play some games but
01:46:49
you can't do it something xr1 or something yeah but you
01:46:54
can't do on an Oculus Quest what you can do on a MacBook before I don't think we should well Quest Pro is the only thing
01:47:00
we should compare to this in Oculus Quest is just sure it's not the same thing but a quest Pro doesn't really
01:47:05
have like a desktop kind of like format right it could you could pair it to a man you could impair
01:47:11
it to computers but you don't have to pair this to anything no yeah it's its own standard it has an M2 Chip if you
01:47:17
think about it as a computer 3 500 isn't that exactly but chances are you're not replacing a computer totally yeah for
01:47:23
sure somebody's got to do a I can't wait for a benchmark of like can we just run geekbench on all these headsets of like
01:47:29
the M2 gets a trillion points and then the Snapdragon XR gets like whatever it gets it's just absurd it doesn't
01:47:35
actually so before we go I know we said no trivia but I do have a fun trivia thing for you guys if you want it okay yeah sure when was the last time Apple
01:47:42
did the whole one more thing on stage for this a long time ago was it the Mac
01:47:48
Pro at dub dub Mac Pro yeah Mac Pro David
01:47:56
[Music] no it was the iPhone 10.
01:48:11
wow okay well that's good to know we got a lot more upcoming a lot more coverage
01:48:16
obviously stay tuned this studio channel has a video we got an episode a bonus episode on the podcast Channel we've got
01:48:22
the main Hands-On on the MKBHD Channel autofocus dropped a Prius review we're popping out all kinds of great videos so
01:48:28
watch those and uh no trivia of course we'll be right back next week with a bunch of cool stuff thanks for watching
01:48:34
and listening we'll catch you guys in the next one peace waveform is reduced by Adam Molina
