0:09
detection is a new system in iOS that
0:12
notifies users about compatible
0:14
Bluetooth trackers following their
0:16
movements this is uh something apple
0:18
collaborated on with Google it's a like
0:22
specification um IOS and Android both
0:24

0:27
delivers notifications to users if a
0:29
compatible Bluetooth tracker they do not
0:30
own is moving with them regardless of
0:33
what operating system the device is

worst values of all the Apple Services

2:25
really that expensive wow is it that
2:28

you know they they do those every year I
2:55
like this one it's it's it looks really
2:57
neon and and colorful
3:00
and I think they have a corresponding

watchband that you can buy as well so

3:07
which is the bigger news the uh
3:10
crossplatform tracking or
3:13
quartiles vote now on your
3:16
phones I wouldn't say either one of them
3:18
are marquee features here leis I'm gonna
3:20
go ahead go out and LGE I didn't find
3:22
ciles to be all that challenging to be
3:24
quite honest well it's just because of
3:26
your Superior intellect I mean for most
3:30
people you know it's like they could
3:31
barely solve one of the words it's it's
3:33
true that uh I said that in in the slack
3:36
chat I said H it's you know not hard at
3:38
all but you know the first one wasn't
3:40
and I did go back to some of the
3:41
archived ones some of those posed a
3:43
little bit more of difficulty but yeah
3:45
they probably have a ramp up in
3:47
difficulty I don't know to to lure in
3:50
like the yeah maybe maybe so yeah keep
3:52
you liking it enjoying it but I won't be
3:54
playing it because I don't pay for Apple
3:56
news plus and I never will
