leis you're oddly quiet over there yeah that's why God made the mute
0:11
button oh shoot didn't mute that one you think that you'd be able to feel
0:17
that one coming and mute it but let's see here are we
0:23
live I think we're live
0:30
and we're live I'm not hearing any audio so we got Matt PFO in the chat and let
0:35
me know if y'all can hear us because it looks like everything's fine on our on our end
0:42
can't hear anything from the from the stream is that what you said yeah I
0:47
can't hear anything but that might be normal oh good thank you for confirming
0:54
before we yeah I just want to uh ask you a question you you said right before we
1:00
went live yeah that you haven't been watching Severance so far and I just
1:05
don't know how that is humanly possible well first of all since you're GNA bring up the the PRI the pre-show conversation
1:13
I'm excited to hear how much you liked it like that's a great sign so have you
1:18
made it through the entire season or I guess that's impossible yeah right they they trick trickle it out drip drip drip
1:25
um I made it through I finally finished season two of Silo which man that show
1:32
is so good it didn't it didn't do quite as much as I was hoping but like did you
1:38
guys both watch it yeah I I haven't seen Silo you haven't seen the second season
1:43
was disappointing well I heard the two of you Rave about it yeah and so um I
1:49
actually told uh somebody I know about it like I I I used your recommendations like oh
1:55
hey you know I I hear you're interested in new shows to watch I've heard this show Silo is great although I haven't watched it myself they watched it and
2:01
they immediately hated it they hated every part about it that's CRA they only finished season one like through hate
2:08
watching it and I almost like burned my recommending ability with this person
2:14
because of how much they hat okay well look your friend having bad taste is not my problem you need to watch it yourself
2:19
and I think you'll quickly realize you need new friends I think that's going to be the
2:25
moral here actually you should watch it because now I'm curious to hear what you would think
2:30
if because I haven't heard a single person say they didn't like it I'm sorry this is not answering your question so I haven't started um uh uh Seance Seance
2:40
thank you yet because I was finishing Silo and now I'm like basically
2:46
rewatching Kirby Your Enthusiasm I stopped I've started and stop that show so many times I don't even know what
2:52
season I ended on and so I've been going through and and there have been a few M
2:57
moments in that show where I actually laughed out loud I hear the show gets worse um in the later Seasons but so far
3:04
it's you know still pretty funny um so I've just been really there's just so
3:11
much going on sometimes like I just need something light-hearted um but sance is really high on my list so I I am going
3:17
to make it so hearing that it's actually good so far is really an advantage to waiting is that like you can start like
3:23
at week eight and then you know you can just watch them all and you won't have to wait week by week that's an advantage
3:29
in your cas which I think my subscription to Apple TV plus runs out soon so I need to look
3:35
into that um my trial that they gave me for buying the iPhone but um yeah I
3:43
would subscribe to actually finish that show the season the you didn't like the season two of Silo Lewis like the end of
3:52
season slow way too slow okay so you don't like the Slow Burn did you ever watch um Blade Runner blade R 2049 did
4:01
you like this too slow I didn't like that one as much either okay so I don't mind the Slow Burn and the last like two
4:10
episodes of Silo were such insane
4:15
Cliffhangers like especially the end of season 2 like the very end of season 2 something happens which I'm obviously
4:21
not going to spoil and I was like dang dude this is one of the greatest
4:27
Cliffhangers of all time it's something happens and you're like where are they going to take it from here anyway we
4:34
haven't started the show yet yeah I I'm I'm a person who watches classic Doctor Who I'm okay with a Slow Burn yeah but
4:39
as a counter to that like I've I've tangentially like seen people discussing season two of Silo yeah and it sounds to
4:46
me like they're just kind of like trying to fill out 10 episodes and like sort of
4:52
sort of like dull out the plot just to make it work whereas I like a Counterpoint to like the first few
4:58
episodes of severance it feels like things have already happened that already could have been the season two
5:03
Cliffhanger and it's only been like three or four episodes that was like the first season of Silo where they send
5:10
people well I won't say I want to spoil anything for anyone uh let's see
5:15
here I think we're ready to roll should we go ahead and get this thing rolling I'm not sure how many people are going
5:21
to show up for um well actually what am I talking about
5:26
we got a new product coming people should be rolling in most exciting shows of the Year honestly I was like I going
5:32
say I'm not sure how many people are going to be excited about redesigned Power Beats Pro two although I actually
5:37
thought they looked pretty cool so we'll talk about those um and then of course bells and whistles that's
5:44
true uh okay well let's go ahead and queue up Mrs you know who tweet and oh
5:53
you want the Tweet action that actually might be the problem right there that might be the problem
5:59
there you go loose let's get things is that too loud I hope so priority all
6:05
right well let's go ahead and uh queue up
6:11
Mrs you know who will get this thing rolling oh Mrs
6:17

6:23

6:39
turning green looks horrified if you don't mind let's go ahead and not talk about that although I am glad to hear
6:45
that elcy is still with us I wasn't sure we'll get this show queued up we got a lot of stories to talk about this week
6:52
uh we'll get it rolling in three
6:58
two hello and welcome to the coasty best 30 plus minute Apple conversation you're going
7:03
to hear all week long I'm your host air Li join me today he's considering
7:09
installing neural Link in himself and the CAC writer so he can monitor their spelling and grammar mistakes in real
7:15
time and transmit his disapproving voice directly into their thoughts that sounds handy he's he's on The Cutting Edge of
7:22
editing technology LS walls is here just be afraid they connect connect me to one of
7:28
those chimps also with us he still carries the original iPod with him wherever he goes
7:35
why would you ever need more than a thousand songs in your pocket he's the riter for CAC Griffin Jones is
7:42
here good evening aan I have a question to ask oh please I'm an open
7:49
book do you have the same computer and tablet as you had last week uh actually
7:55
I do I absolutely he caved he caved although I did return the two that I
8:01
purchased the two weeks
8:06
prior of evil mastermind are dealing with I always had the same computer and
8:12
tablet that I had when I purchased the other two devices so the real question is did I return the new ones that I
8:17
purchased which is what you were alluding to um no I returned them I
8:23
returned the 13inch iPad Pro I returned the 13inch or the 14inch MacBook Pro
8:29
took it back took them both back on the final day that I had I just couldn't do it man the 13-inch iPad Pro I as much as
8:37
I wanted to love it and I think that is probably an incredible iPad for people who are artists what you gain um from an
8:45
artistic perspective being able to write and draw and like do all that stuff on a 13-inch um iPad Pro you lose in in
8:52
regular usability like it just I know it sounds crazy that extra screen real estate and heft make it far less Eno
8:59
enoyable at least for me just to use it as a regular iPad it was a tough call but inevitably I decided just to get rid
9:07
of it I was like I would just be happier with the 11 in so that was my decision there and then for the 14-inch MacBook
9:13
Pro it really came down to that space black like the longer I owned the space
9:18
black the more I just didn't like the color it looks so much better in the actual store and what really kind of put
9:26
me over the top is all the fingerprints that were constantly all over that machine and here's the thing
9:32
leis not easy to wipe them off even with a cult cloth even with the cult cloth
9:38
you had to really like wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe like there's something about that surface that the finger oils
9:44
and finger sweat adhere to now if you have drier hands this may not be an issue for you or if you just love black
9:50
devices which I know a lot of people do um and so I was cleaning it and I was like do I want to live this life where
9:57
every day I have to like swab the deck I don't think I can live this way and so
10:03
finally I decided to go ahead and just return both and of course you know the
10:09
Apple star was completely cool with it and didn't have did they ask you why no they didn't even ask me why they didn't
10:14
care at all so I just went in there and returned them now funny enough right
10:20
after returning it I was waiting for the discount to become available again um
10:29
and and and uh this is a PSA too M4 MacBooks are now available on the refurb
10:36
store so and they're huge discount like the machine that I speced on apple.com
10:42
without the discount was $4,440 that same machine is basically $3,700 now on
10:49
the referb store that's a massive savings absolutely huge and so I think
10:55
what I'm probably going to do is foro the 25% discount on the full price item
11:01
and if you know someone that works in apple they could get you I mean depending on how much they like you they
11:06
can get you a 15% discount on refurbished items which is an even better deal so the price I was going to
11:13
pay for the refurb new item um was I think before tax was like
11:22
3330 or something I forget the exact number but in the RB store you instead
11:27
of giving instead of getting 25% off a full price item you're technically getting 30% off because disc or referb
11:34
items are typically 15% off already and then you get an additional 15% off that price so it's like the absolute best
11:39
price that you can get on Apple devices so I think in the Reb store that same device in silver in silver uh was 3 or
11:47
3217 so it was like over $100 cheaper to do the referb plus the people that work
11:54
at Apple only get 12 125% off typically per device per year on
12:00
um like the major Apple purchases like iPhones iPads you know Macs but they get
12:06
a lot more discounts in fact that they may not have a limit on how many 15% offs they can get for themselves and friends and family so like they don't
12:13
have to use their own discount on you so it's a way better deal for them so I think that's what I'm going to do I haven't done it yet but that's my
12:20
current plan of record and this is presumably why you haven't posted your YouTube channel because you can't possibly create a YouTube video with
12:27
your ancient M1 MacBook Pro or certainly black MacBook Pro it only handles like
12:33
you know 55 um you know deep stacked timelines in
12:38
Final Cut Pro like my timelines typically have like you know probably like a hundred different editing lines
12:44
going on at the same time incredibly complex plus they're 12K
12:49
so I can't even work on this machine so I probably should get something replaced
12:56
pretty soon and once I do you know it would have been really great idea is making videos on my experience with a
13:02
13-inch iPad Pro before returning it and I'll geez could imagin that and the
13:09
14in uh M4 Max MacBook Pro do like the I'm returning my products one with like
13:15
the big like sad thumbnail where you've got like a tear running down your face like I might still make those videos to
13:21
be honest although it it's way less of a it's it's not going to be as interesting
13:27
without having the actual products and holding them like you're doing the review so I've kind of lost that but I
13:32
do think that the actual content itself even if it's just me here sitting at a desk talking about it might still be intriguing to some people but yeah I I
13:40
tried and and I I even asked myself like could I live with this for just a couple years and I think ultimately when you're
13:46
spending that much money you want to have something that you really love so and I just really couldn't love the
13:55
color or the size so I return them both that's currently where I'm at Maybe by next week I'll have a different
14:00
machine uh TBD on that but the iPad Pro isn't refurbished like in the refurbish
14:07
store they are like three possibly four years behind on iPads so I don't know
14:14
what's happening to all the refurbished iPads but they're not going on Apple's website um maybe they're using them as
14:21
um a way to give like replacement devices to people with Apple Care or
14:26
something I have no idea but like if you go on Apple's referb um store the iPads
14:32
there are like three years old and they never have new ones like they don't even carry like like one or two or three year
14:37
old iPads um maybe nobody ever returns one or maybe that's it maybe the return
14:44
rate's so low I don't know I mean won't those that you just returned won't those
14:49
end up on the Reverb list I mean that's what they do with them right I mean not necessarily broken they're just open
14:55
box I mean I don't know exactly what happens to them I yeah all they had to do is wipe that
15:02
thing down and you could get the fingerprints off with some water like if you spray a little bit of water on there
15:07
for some reason that made it work a lot better but I imagine they place they replac the entire outer shell would be
15:13
my guess I mean that would be sad if they did that I did carve my name into the bottom just in case so that if
15:19
someone who listens to this show gets it they'll know it was from me but on the inside of the shell right took the lid
15:25
off carved my name on the bottom that' actually be hilarious God if you did that because I I I wonder if
15:31
Apple scrutinizes that much if they take the whole thing apart my guess is they do um really I'm pretty sure they do I
15:38
think they do replace the outer shell of the device yeah and the battery no kidding I think so even something that's only been out for like two weeks I think
15:45
so they don't take any they don't make any mistakes or they don't they don't take any risk I mean on the refurb store
15:51
they say that their refurbishment progress is or or or uh process is
15:56
rigorous so it seems like they take all those parts off and just replace them
16:01
now if the battery has like only like five charges or something on it like maybe they let it go but I don't know
16:07
well they probably keep the same battery but I think they they replac the case I thought that they replaced the battery
16:12
too why would they replace the case on a because it used to look brand new leis
16:17
that that's that's the appeal of it's two weeks old yeah but somebody buying it wants it to look brand new I think
16:24
Apple makes it look new in all respects I mean there might be markets where they don't do that like outside the US they
16:31
might or or they'll they'll sell them to like resellers I always see resellers on eBay who are selling like there was
16:38
actually a sale last week somebody selling um um Apple watch Ultra 2os for
16:44
$469 right great deal and theirs I don't think actually were refurbished and I'm
16:50
going to guess they have some relationship with apple and apple like all the ones that maybe got scuffed up
16:57
or whatever ended up going to this reseller and they're just selling them all for like a huge discount which is a
17:04
crazy good deal like I I actually considered buying one but I'm I'm waiting for the three at this point you
17:09
gotta go for the three all right look wow we have no time for this leis um we got a lot of show to talk
17:17
about of course you all probably by now know uh Tim Cook Alias Tim B cooking
17:24
he's got a brand new product for us coming out next week and we'll talk
17:29
about what we think that might be we'll talk about the redesigned Power Beats Pro 2 which I think look great they're
17:37
like the best looking earphones that Apple sells in my opinion um I haven't
17:42
considered buying some but I was like I don't I got I got I already got like three different pairs of of airpods um
17:49
I'm like I don't I don't need any more um what about when you're doing you know like the pole vault I do do the pole
17:56
vaults weekly but I've got other headphones I can use for
18:02
said purposes I'll tell you what I won't be using for pull Bal is the um the airpods three four with a andc can't can
18:11
barely move my head without those things falling out such such a bummer man I've never had that problem before uh we'll
18:17
talk about how Apple's getting into robots and then we get our predictions game where you will be able to partake
18:23
of what is coming out next week and I think we're also going to be guessing am I right Griffin okay y uh before we dive
18:31
in let me tell you about incog a service that I've really been enjoying with
18:36
incog you can take your personal data back use code codcast at the link below
18:43
well at the link that we'll have in the show notes and get 60% off an annual
18:48
plan it's incog dcom incog
18:54
docomo after signing up incog automatically hours and scans data
19:01
Brokers and their databases which is a massive business and then sends removal
19:07
requests on your behalf and then follows up regularly to make sure that your data is actually removed and they've got this
19:12
great dashboard which I'm showing right now if you're watching live of the progress and as you can see um they have
19:19
made 300 requests on my behalf already 300 requests 269 have been completed
19:25
which means my data has been removed from these databases 31 are in progress and they have got me added to 35 uh
19:33
suppression lists which means the Brokers um who have added me to their suppression lists will never collect my
19:39
data again if my data ever comes back to them they just won't store in any way shape or form so incog has this ongoing
19:46
production they continuously Monitor and um send repeated removal requests to
19:53
ensure your data remains off the market now why should you care about this well for me it's about you know privacy and
20:00
security um you don't want people being able to find things about you from all these different data Brokers of which
20:06
there's a ton of stuff stuff that you would be surprising to know that they knew about you and it could lead to
20:12
identity theft it could lead to um spam calls emails cyber attacks and when you
20:20
reduce your presence in these data warehouses you become a ghost
20:26
ghost um incog um will work on your behalf it saves you a ton of time and I have definitely
20:34
noticed a a huge reduction in spam calls it definitely made a difference when people call you and you're like where
20:40
did they get my phone number data Brokers take control of your data privacy today visit incog
20:48
docomo a 30-day moneyback guarantee to ensure you're completely satisfied with
20:53
their service and when you use our URL uh that's incognit dcom colc incog
20:59
ni.com codcast you'll get an exclusive 60% discount on incog so it's risk-free
21:07
and I think you'll really like it it's really going to make a difference in the amount of spam that you get and give you that warm fuzzy feeling that you know
21:13
that your data is not being sold all over the Internet like it is for probably most of you listening it's actually really crazy how prevalent this
21:18
is I had never I had never known that this is such a big industry all right let's head on over to Old Lewis
21:25
Wallace he's going to tell us about Tim Cook season the new Apple product what
21:31
we think it might be should I bring up this uh there we go look at that swirling
21:36
mesmerizing image yeah mesmeric as tweet of the week say yep what does it mean
21:43
though Louis that's what we need to know that's the question Tim Cook teases new Apple project but what is it uh just
21:48
today just this morning he uh sent out a I still got a call it a tweet I just cannot calling what else can you call it
21:56
besides a tweet a post so called a toot but that'd be the wrong place so uh
22:02
since it out this morning saying you know completely cryptic deliberately vague says get ready to meet the newest
22:07
member of the family and it's got this swirling Apple logo on a white thing
22:13
look to me I mean first thing I thought well of course somebody in slack beat me too but like oh it's air tag it totally
22:19
looks like an airag I was completely convinced that that's what it was and then shortly afterward you know G's like
22:25
oh it's about the iPhone se4 anyway uh our post goes into it you know what
22:31
might it mean um as mentioned there's an image it looks like an air tag you know we've been hearing rumors about that for
22:37
a long time that there' be a second generation Apple tracking tag but uh you
22:43
know most of the rumors indicated that was coming a little bit later in the year so uh excuse my
22:50
voice uh you know Ed Ed the guy who wrote it for us he says maybe it's an image of a top down view of a
22:57
homepod leaks point to a home pop with a larger built-in screen and Apple's 2025
23:03
agenda wow this is great another strong possibility as Ed and Mark Gman pointed
23:09
out is iPhone se4 which we we've been hearing now for two weeks that it's coming next week you know first it was
23:14
this week now it's next week every week it's next week next week maybe it actually will be next week
23:21
um the date that Tim Cook pegged this for is February 19 I think we can trust
23:27
him that that's a day we're going to get at least one new product well we know that it's going to happen because Mark
23:32
Gman posted about it so now we know it's real oh yeah yeah I I thought it was a a pretty
23:38
genius move just putting this out there you know I don't I don't remember them ever doing anything like this where they announced that they're gonna have a
23:44
product launch it's an announcement by but but you know especially just like
23:49
Tim Cook right yeah I mean maybe yeah I don't know we didn't
23:54
even get an email or anything normally when there's an apple like product announcement we get an email the
24:00
invitation the everything maybe they just decided totally cheap out on this it's like it's a bunch of fourth tier
24:05
products let's just uh let's just go the cheap R let's just let's do it by tweet uh let's see other things that Ed
24:12
mentioned might be possible you know because again it might not just be one thing uh entry level iPad Air and iPad
24:20
supposedly those are getting upgrades soon MacBook Air with M4 maybe I still think they're going to give that an M3
24:26
but uh anyway it's completely you know it's undeniable he says there's going to
24:32
be a new product on February 19th and uh just have to wait and see I guess man
24:38
maybe we should have a a predictions game about it hey that's a great idea who who who could have imagined such a
24:44
thing let's bolt that on to the end of the show maybe Griffin can put something together while we're doing the show and
24:51
have it ready by the end of the show how about that well I I kind of Wonder would they
24:57
do an announcement like this just for an iPhone SE it doesn't seem to be that
25:02
much that doesn't seem like a product that would be so exciting that it would wen't its own singular announcement you
25:09
know like it seems like it would have to be a suite of products new member of the
25:17
family that implies something more than just like that implies something more than just updated MacBook Air and
25:22
updated iPad and updated iPhone a new member of the family that they're bringing back the iPhone c yeah yeah you
25:30
know I was also thinking like it's kind of unusual that they would pre-announce an announcement for next Wednesday when
25:38
most like pre-announced apple stuff is either on Monday or Tuesday Apple rarely has big stuff on Wednesday right so my
25:46
theory is actually that this is going to be sort of a a traditional Apple week of
25:53
product announcements like Monday at you know 6:00 a.m. on the Apple Newsroom they'll let announ the new iPhone
25:59
Tuesday they lounce the new Macbook Air and then on Wednesday Wednesday will be the exciting
26:04
day of the week though and that is the day that we see the new member of the family whatever that is I'm embarrassed to say that I feel
26:11
like Lewis just deflated the whoopy cushion here what get ready to meet the newest member singular of the
26:18
family now it could meet multiple products but there's going to be like a big one at the end I think that actually
26:24
makes sense but it seems like it's probably going to be one like seriously
26:31
super uh new exciting iPhone SE that people might actually want but it's kind
26:37
of hard to imagine the iPhone SC being exciting in any way shape or form H I don't know very solid budget phone could
26:45
be just what the doctor ordered some people are saying maybe it'll be a quote unquote new member of the family because
26:50
they're going to Rebrand it and it'll be like iPhone e or iPhone I don't know
26:56
some other new branding for it instead of iPhone S fourth generation yeah I think that's an
27:01
interesting Theory because they want to make something that people will be excited to buy and iPhone SE doesn't get
27:07
anyone excited in any way shap or form never even understood that I mean don't that stand for special edition or
27:13
something I think it did originally which is like the stupid stupidest thing in the world it's not really special
27:19
specially bad worse than the rest so so Edition what is this what what is this
27:24
so you've got like this metallic flowing Apple logo go it looks like it has um a
27:32
like lens flare around it it's so shiny that yeah I should we should
27:38
mention for the audio listeners a lot of people are thinking air tag because the design of the announcement has like a
27:44
metallic app logo on top of like a circular bubble yeah a white circle it looks exactly like an air tag it's white
27:50
yeah but if you look at it kind of dissolves and yeah it's and if you look at the Fringe of the Bubble at the very
27:57
end oh it it looks like it has a rainbow fringing which is exactly what happens
28:02
with lens flare it's like some kind of circular lens flare never look at the edge of the bubble don't look at the
28:10
edge um it is mesmerizing man I could just sit here staring it for a while and you know just let my imagination it
28:17
makes me want one of those Samsung frame TVs like those super thin like LCD TVs
28:23
that you put on your wall that you could just have like with rotating artwork in fact I think that Samsung has like a whole artwork service that you could
28:31
subscribe to where they just show you pictures they have one that's like shaped like an easel as well do they I
28:37
haven't seen that one that would be pretty cool because like I I don't think it's easy to mount a Samsung frame on
28:43
your TV or on your wall with no wires like you have to get call an electrician and you know get all the wires and
28:49
everything and hide everything in in the actual drywall that'd be so cool though I would love to have something like that
28:54
and then you can just have like this thing playing on repeat in the background or some kind of like lowii artwork like
29:00
that'd be so cool I I would love something like that maybe probably even more than the iPhone
29:06
SE wow all right so Wednesday February 19th yep wonder what it's gonna be I
29:12
mean I saw people online you know saying oh it's going to be a new airport router you know because it kind of looks
29:18
like there is no way it's gonna be an airport router absolutely not incredibly happy if it was a new airport router I
29:25
to make a new airport yeah and you know there's like they just it's weird I mean is it
29:32
actually going to be something that we haven't heard about that it'd be the first time in a while that that happened yeah all all the excitement
29:38
about this is the format of the announcement which is yeah yeah that's what that's what's so genius about it
29:44
like look at we're sitting here talking about it for hours everybody online is speculating everybody's all curious now
29:50
and you know it's like oh it's iPhone as he or it's a new air tag that has actually the new Air tag the rumors you
29:56
heard about that make it sound way better you know better much better um
30:02
what do they call that I can't remember the close finding what is that what's the name for that no like there's the
30:09
one part of fi that is precision finding is what they call it like that's supposed to be up to 100 feet instead of
30:16
just 35 and if if that was even better that would be awesome and yeah I would
30:21
absolutely buy a pack of those the instant they were available I don't want to go on and on
30:27
and on about this but it's hard to imagine them making an iPhone SE that people would want
30:35
um with the existence of like the iPhone 16 right it's like what could they do to
30:41
the iPhone SE that would create a phone that people
30:46
would want at a price that people would pay and not have it be just like an
30:52
iPhone on the other hand on the other hand my Counterpoint would be could you convince somebody
30:59
that the difference between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone SE is really worth like $300 cuz that's what the price
31:06
difference may be like I I I I don't know if Ordinary People would be able to tell you the difference between the
31:12
regular iPhone 16 and the iPhone SE the iPhone SE if the rumors are correct sounds like it's going to be a really good
31:18
phone watch it be like the iPhone Air that we've been talking about like the
31:23
last two months and it's like $200 all right well all shall be revealed on February
31:30
19th we may have some other products announced we'll include those um in our predictions segment uh coming up at the
31:37
end of the show in the meantime let's talk about a product that is not purely
31:42
speculative at this point and that is Power Beats 2 which came out this week
31:49
do we know the last time that these were redesigned it's been like three years has it yeah okay and I gotta say man
31:56
they look great I really like that design I know the over thee design is you know kind of
32:03
uh Blas at this point I feel like that'd be super useful for workouts and stuff and runs and stuff but anyway I'm taking
32:10
had cool looking hair like that and it could blend in what are you saying I'm saying you put that on my ear
32:16
I'm gonna look like I got you know a 1950s hearing aid actually I wonder if this uh is
32:24
going to support any hearing aid features I doubt it that's going to be reserved for the Pro see uh the updated
32:29
and redesigned Power Beats Pro 2 is Apple's first set of earbuds to feature built-in heart rate monitoring yeah and
32:36
feature air hooks for a secure fit during workouts and with this update the buds move to Apple's H2 chip to bring
32:42
adaptive EQ spatial audio noise cancelling with transparency mode and up to 45 hours of battery life with its
32:49
charging case Bonkers that's pretty insane that's like a full working week and then some if you wear them at work
32:57
so it does have the H2 chip which I think is the same that the airpods pro to have yeah so it probably could
33:03
function as hearing aids it has the same guts for it kind of interesting um Apple
33:09
noted the new buds offer an improved more secure fit and a lighter more compact package the case is 33% smaller
33:16
than the last one that's a big difference in like the Bulge it makes in your pocket when you carry it around
33:22
just like airpods they have OneTouch pairing automatic switching audio sharing handsfree series and find my the
33:29
Beats app unlocks One Touch pairing heart rate monitoring customizable controls battery status widgets and
33:35
locate my Beats um I hear that these are pretty popular headphones interestingly MKBHD
33:43
says that Apple PR told him on background that these are the best
33:49
selling headphones in the world wow is this these new ones
33:56
Orin generally the original ones huh there is no way that's
34:01
true well Apple PR doesn't generally lie but that's right but how could it be
34:07
with Android plays nicer with Android I know but just just from a I see these on the street
34:12
perspective I don't know if I've ever seen a pair of Beats like these in
34:19
someone's ears at least not that I've noticed and yet I see I would say I see
34:24
airpods Max more than I see these but I see airpods everywhere they're
34:29
ubiquitous yeah yeah so it's it's like if people are buying these up it's like I must not live in the place where they're wearing them where are they
34:36
going where who who's wearing these Android phones are more popular overall in the rest of the world and less so in
34:43
the and you know less so in the United States it could be that there're just like big sellers in Europe or something
34:48
yeah I don't know Eastern European athletes yeah yeah doing a hammer toss
34:53
wearing their Power Beats Pro so did you guys did you notice on Apple website they called these things quote the most
35:00
advanced product we've ever developed what there's a lot of
35:06
hyperbole happening here that I'm like I'm finding this hard to are more advanced than the Vision Pro The Vision
35:12
Pro they called the most advanced personal electronics device ever made I have a hard time imagining that these
35:17
have more technology in them than that I was I read that and I'm like maybe they mean like that's beats talking but it's
35:24
on the Apple website it's on the Apple product page let's see here it's it's a crazy uh but you know then I saw
35:31
somebody else post a thing on like oh look you know compare the size of the Apple watch sensor to the the sensor for the
35:39
the um one in the you know the heart rate sensor in the the Power Beats Pro two it says it right there it's the most
35:45
advanced product we've ever developed yeah I mean unival I mean unless there's something
35:51
going on the one thing I find really interesting about this product is how they've miniaturized the um heart rate
35:58
sensor cuz like the one on the Apple watch Ultra anyway I mean it's
36:04
huge a lot of sensors in there and not more more than the heart rate one I guess that's true but like the green
36:10
sensors are really far apart from one another and in the Power Beats Pro 2
36:15
like the sensors are literally right next to each other which I find to be interesting I'll be curious to see how
36:20
accurate these things are I've noticed in my Apple watch um it will often get
36:27
duck with like the green light on and it and all of a sudden like the heart rate
36:32
just isn't accurate and like I'll take it off my wrist and the green light just stay on and I have to like power cycle
36:38
my watch to to to to get it to start measuring my heartbeat correctly again
36:44
happens to all the time huh you wearing it too loose I mean I don't think so I
36:50
don't think need to be a snug fit I think Apple has said that if you have both an Apple Watch and the Power Beats
36:56
Pro two on it'll take the heart rate measurement from the Apple watch so apparently they they trust that the
37:02
Apple watch is going to be more accurate but um if you don't have an Apple Watch I mean this is great there's a great way
37:07
to get that information if you don't have it at all or if you have an Android device apparently any Android device
37:12
like it's like a standard thing on Android o OS to like you know have these
37:19
generic heart rate monitor devices and so it'll work with any health app that you have on Android um and I believe on
37:26
iOS it'll work with the health app as well but dude I like these white ones man
37:31
they're good looking they're good looking products they really are yeah they're great colors I even like the orange ones to be honest with you like I
37:39
wish I had a reason to need these but I really don't I know I wish reason because you said that your airpods 4
37:44
fall out of your ears all the time that's true but I freaking hate having these ear tips and one of the other
37:50
things I heard um from the reviews is that these ear tips are actually much harder than the ones on the airpods pro
37:57
um for whatever reason and I'm like you know what I hate having uh more than tips in my ears hard tips in my ears
38:05
that sounds even worse um they're hard like GI Joe's
38:11
head but it creates a great seal impermeable seal um only the toughest athlete can
38:17
handle it and I'm not s that's the other thing about working out is I never sweat when I work out maybe maybe you're not
38:25
working out maybe I'm not working out hard enough but my heart rate's up but like you know I go on I go on long walks
38:33
and I try to keep my heart rate within a very specific range for fat burning purposes and right I do yeah I try to
38:39
keep my heart rate above well mainly below 135 but you know above a 100 and
38:46
and then I lift weights and like lifting weights is not a I sweat a lot sport you
38:52
know it's like you lift some weights and then you sit there for like three minutes browsing your phone and then you
38:58
do it again and so like I don't really ever ever sweat and when I go on the walks you know it's 35 degrees outside
39:06
so you know it's kind of hard to sweat in that weather um I me also most
39:12
strenuous activity I do is mow my lawn wherein I'm walking very slowly at one mile per hour for a few hours I don't
39:18
yeah this summertime though that's probably a sweat inducing activity I would imagine I get sweaty but I my
39:23
earbuds don't fall out of my ears I'll tell you that yeah so anyway I don't
39:29
really have a need for these although I I do definitely want them um anything
39:34
else we want to say about these before we move on they look kind interesting but personally I'm holding out for airpods Pro 3 yeah I think I'd probably
39:42
be more of an airpods Pro three person myself look at that orange
39:48
man real colors I don't know man I've never I never even tried any earbuds
39:53
with that that kind of a design I with the replaceable tips no I mean just with like that over the
39:59
ear crazy okay I mean they're kind of gigantic they I don't think they're as
40:05
big in real life as they seem um when they're actually on like when I see the
40:11
pictures of people wearing them I don't see any pictures on their web page they don't actually seem that
40:16
big oh here we go I mean yeah here's the picture doesn't look that
40:22
huge I don't know man it's the size of an ear well they do have to fit in your ear and
40:30
and you know if if if she had for instance blonde hair yeah I guess I mean
40:36
I guess you can't really it mostly tucks behind the the back I don't know Apple's
40:41
the pictures that Apple takes of of airpods all these things they always have like the best looking people they
40:47
always look you know the the airpod is at the exact right rakish angle everything's just always perfect and
40:54
then you know you see yourself in the mirror and you're like oh my God you look like Rudy Julie
40:59
honey good God all right what else fat man on a
41:06
[Laughter] walk uh the Power Beats Pro 2 available
41:12
on Amazon available on Apple if you want to pick them up tweet at me X at me let
41:18
me know what you think um one other thing I want to just mention real quick for those of you interested first foldable iPhone might arrive in 2026 I
41:25
know you're excited about it we've been talking about it for years and a report
41:31
from late last year suggested Apple was going to launch its first folding iPhone
41:36
in 2026 and then uh flark Sherman reiterated the same in his latest power
41:42
on newsletter uh the device will purportedly sport a book-like design
41:47
similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z fold lineup it could benefit from a bigger
41:53
display than the iPhone 16 Pros 16 16 6 .9 in display Apple apparently faced
42:01
development problems with the folding phone's hinge and folding screen um which if they do end up ever releasing
42:07
this I'll be curious to see how they solve that because all the folding screen phones I've seen have like that weird seam down the middle CU if you you
42:14
know you can't really fold glass so you got to use plastic and then plastic as you bend it like deteriorates and they
42:20
break after six months and they break every single one uh the company is working on some major upgrades to its
42:26
incoming models upcoming models this includes under the display cameras that's one thing I'm actually very
42:31
excited about and a display with no cutouts oh dude and moving all face ID
42:37
components to below the screen that's the that's the reality I want to live in especially on the MacBook Pro oh my gosh
42:44
I freaking hate the notch on the MacBook Pro um let's see here yeah then we have
42:50
talked about the potential iPhone 17 air later this year but there you go if you're interested in folding iPhone
42:58
you're not now maybe not now but you will be as soon as Apple releases it that's when you the most interesting
43:04
part of this rumor is that he says that it's going to be um not like the Samsung
43:09
Galaxy Z flip that's like a normal phone sized phone that flips down he says that
43:14
it'll be uh a book style design which I think is the more interesting product in
43:20
this case I don't I never look at my phone and wish it was more Square shaped and twice as thick but I think a lot of
43:26
people times wish their phone could be a bigger screen and that's sounds like the product that they're pursuing yeah very
43:32
cool I mean people can get enough of big screen phones sorry L go for it I haven't seen one that folds that way in
43:37
the wild uh one of my friends has one of the ones that folds into the you know giant brick and I I look at that I'm
43:43
like my God that thing's like almost an inch thick I can't can't even imagine putting it in my back pocket I I
43:49
couldn't either I mean the iPhone 16 Pro is big enough it barely fits in my back
43:54
pocket and then there's the max got to squeeze that thing with in with
44:00
some Vaseline here's another story I thought we could just touch on real quick we've talked about all the wacking
44:06
zy products that apple is looking into I think they're trying to get caught up in a lot of different ways they've realized they're behind in the world of uh
44:13
artificial intelligence robotics we talked about the um the iPad on an arm
44:18
which we we talked more about last week when we had that demo from Apple researchers interacting with that lamp
44:24
from they created from Pixar where it's like looking all around and acting human-like which is really cool
44:30
well apparently robots might be Apple's next big thing that's right I said robots Lewis a robotic Tim Cook how cool
44:38
would that be it's looking might already exist actually it might be ring apple as
44:44
we speak always on message um Apple's looking for a
44:49
completely new product category to grow its business and robots might be the answer according to an unconfirmed
44:54
report from an analyst there you go that's that's uh confidence inducing
44:59
apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots for future smart home ecosystems oh this is from mingi
45:07
quo okay well this actually has some um some Credence then the designs are still
45:12
at the proof of concept stage AKA P that's a that's a tech term leis you
45:17
don't have to remember that which means apple is still verifying whether the product ideas and core Technologies are viable before
45:24
kickoff uh that means Apple hasn't locked itself into the idea of a robot shaped like a human being quote why the
45:32
industry debates the merits of humanoid versus non-h humanoid designs supply chain checks indicate Apple cares more
45:38
about how users build perception with robots than their physical appearance I think that makes sense I mean the lamp
45:44
the lamp that we showed was was uh convincingly humanoid and it you know
45:51
isn't anthropomorphic I think is the term you're looking for yeah sure and
45:57
then you have R2-D2 which you know doesn't look or act like a human in any way but just
46:02
communicates with robotic movements and sound effects yeah very has a very
46:08
distinguished uh and identifiable personality that's what that's what the
46:13
lamp had it had a personality tell that's what I want an apple robot to
46:18
kind this is what I want an apple robot to do I don't want it to talk to me I don't want to hear like a Siri voice coming out of it I want it to speak in
46:26
emotional bleeps and bloops that's what I want I don't I don't want it to say hello Griffin the
46:32
weather no no stop talking to me just bleep at me that's all I need bleeping
46:39
robots that's something that eleny could use too just in his everyday life when communicating with people something that
46:44
bleeps out his uh his his foul language um let's see here last quote from the
46:50
story uh this is from Ming quo the timeline from P proof of concept to formal kickoff
46:57
fairies noted quo given current progress and typical development Cycles Apple's robot mass production likely won't start
47:04
until 2028 or later and later goes on for a long time could be Infinity but I
47:11
am happy that apple is looking into even the quirky to see what it can
47:18
do and to give us a new product they have had a hard time finding that next big thing like what's the next big
47:24
iPhone I don't think Apple knows yet they keep trying they were hoping Vision Pro might be it
47:29
but you know and maybe it will be in 10 years but it's going to be a while all
47:35
right I think that's all the news we have this week before we jump into predictions though we're not done yet oh
47:41
thermostats would be great in fact that'd be a fun segment we should do a segment on like Apple products we want
47:46
to see I don't know if people would care about that but yeah doorbell yeah rter I
47:52
want them to I want them to make printers again Apple used to make printers they were pretty okay but you know what I feel like the printer game
47:59
in 2025 is more ripe for an apple style product that just works yeah and is maybe a little laely expensive yeah can
48:06
you imagine how expensive the printing supplies would be using nothing but the finest hand cultivated dies bring back
48:14
laser riter yeah except this time it actually you know prints with like Advanced
48:19
lasers and in color and doesn't weigh F 500 pounds um real quick before we move
48:25
on let me just uh remind you about C cloth and C cloth. if you have a space black I can
48:32
say this conclusively now if you have a space black product you absolutely have to have cat cloth unless you're just you
48:39
know somebody that does not care about how grimy and disgusting their Apple products and Technology look I don't
48:45
know how that's possible that space black is like the biggest fingerprint magnet I've ever seen it's like worse
48:51
than a mirror and you know even with CT cloth it was a little trick to get the stains
48:58
and the smears and the smudges off but you could definitely do it especially if you use a little breath action that
49:03
cleans it right up maybe you don't have space black uh anything but you have
49:09
iPads TVs sunglasses glasses anything that you got uh Co cloth will keep it
49:15
sparkling clean you'll be surprised at how well that they work they're the best that that that's around uh We've sold
49:21
thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of cat cloth and if you haven't picked yours up yet I invite you
49:27
to check out cult cloth. C cloth. and use code carry cloth
49:33
or cultcast to check out cult cassid checkout and you get a free extra carry cloth with your order of $20 plus it
49:40
supports me it supports the show which we appreciate and you'll have yourself just the absolute best cleaning cloth In
49:46
The Biz as they say In The Biz c cloth. c cloth. let's talk about predictions
49:53
what's coming next week well we've got a whole list of predictions we can now review uh let me see if I can load this
50:01

50:27
event for each prediction we will vote Yes or No whether we think it will happen votes have been made in advance
50:34

50:41
must be ruled on by Leander canny a responsibility he has not been informed of or agreed to listeners can submit
50:47
their own votes using a Google form which you can find at DG Griffin jones.com
50:53
survey driffin jones.com survey there's there also be a link in the show notes and a link on the uh website as well the
51:01
highest score submitted before the first announcement will be honored in the next episode now I will say we don't know
51:09
when the first announcement will be apple could announce something on Monday morning and then I will have to immediately close your predictions
51:14
document so if you're listening to this episode a little late on Monday morning on your way to work well you got to
51:19
submit your predictions as fast as possible they might they may already be closed but um they'll be open until

51:39
like any of these things can happen pretty much until we start next week's show so we'll we'll see because I might
51:47
announce something extra on Thursday the morning of the show so uh grading will be interesting this time around to say
51:54
the least it's challenging for sure um I actually just realized that I didn't

space hyphen space and then the answer God so you don't have to do all that just put the number in you you
53:20
don't need hyphens uh Al updated okay can't be it has to be an M
53:28
Dash underscore would be preferable if I can do an M Dash I don't know if YouTube allows it oh my God I something
53:37
happened okay ready go one two three
53:43
go I voted yes oh man I'm it's showing me as colam ma in the chat I don't know
53:48

53:54
lisis vote for and what did you vote for said yes sorry okay what did you
54:00
vote I voted yes as well we're all yes so you're not putting yours in the chat
54:05
no because I I can't bring up the chat while we're doing the live stream because I would break up
54:10
immediately I keep trust me CR control to Major Tom iPhone SE oh I can I can
54:17
reveal my answers to you before you tell me what yours were so that you know that I'm not being influenced by yours okay
54:23
okay iPhone SE has a Dynamic
54:31
Island we've heard confli rumors about this okay 3 two one
54:36
go I voted no I voted yes oh Lewis yes
54:43
it's got to be because this is such a big announcement that they've got to make the phone look current I
54:49
think interesting just my two cents we'll see about that uh iPhone SE has an
54:55
action button and camera control oh
55:01
man that's tough that's a tough one these are these are these are going
55:08
to be tough questions because we genuinely have no idea what's going to happen next week okay I'm ready
55:15
leis oh boy okay 1 two three go I have a feeling
55:23
I just messed up I voted yes l a point I voted just because I can't
55:29
believe they're going to put it out without the camera control that operates visual lookup or whatever it's
55:36
called first of all they designed this phone before they found out that people don't like the camera control and second
55:41
of all to your point the camera control requires is what enables visual intelligence which I used the other day
55:47
on a hike by the way it worked pretty well okay it identified poison hemlock which kind of was terrifying see
55:54
the thing is though like it could have been completely wrong I double checked it with the c cap
55:59
okay I'm going to keep my big mouse and I harvested some for future use next
56:05
question Apple designed cellular chip is called
56:10
C1 well I mean this begs the question are we expecting it to have an apple design cellular chip that's what
56:17
everybody has been saying and if you say no then you'll you'll be correct if they don't introduce a new cellular chip
56:24
okay oh was it the oh that's an interesting point
56:31
because people were saying that that was pretty widespread that this would be the first one with the Apple
56:37
modem I like that uh okay okay one to
56:44
three I voted yes I voted no I voted yes yes but it won't be called C1 you can't
56:51
that well then your neg well then your answer is no
56:58
that's level remix's answer not mine I voted yes oh okay okay I was like wait a second and you're okay it's like a dual
57:06
condition answer both conditions must be either false or
57:12
true next question iPhone SE costs
57:19
$499 this is five yes let's see
57:24
here the price is $429 okay okay I was I was actually just
57:30
looking that up right now [Music]
57:39
um all right I will also say just as more color commentary Apple has never unveiled a face ID device I think under
57:49
$700 okay yeah are pretty expensive it's time okay Louis I'm ready okay one two
57:55
three go I said no because I think it's going to be
58:02
450 I think it's GNA be $499 and they're going to increase the storage to 128 leis I said no mostly
58:11
because that's a specific number and there's a whole lot of other specific numbers that's true that's that's that
58:16
Sound Logic play the odd I almost said no for that same reason actually there are a lot of numbers I'll give you that
58:24
yeah uh questions six we're in the iPad section new iPad Air is announced with
58:31
an M4 chip dude what is this six
58:40
mhm I have to decid what I think on this too I'm ready all this already
58:46
went I'm a no no I'm a
58:51
yes wow oh well shut in the dark let's see
58:57
next question new iPad Air has face ID God does the current one not I can't
59:04
keep oh it has it in the volume button doesn't it touch ID in the power button or po power right well again this begs
59:11
the question on whether or not they're going to be announcing a new iPad Air next week well if there's no new iPad
59:18
Air next week then no would be the correct answer yeah did you vote now on the earlier
59:24
question because you don't think there's going to be one or because you don't think it'll have the M4 I don't think there's going to be
59:30
one wait which question the iPad Air
59:38
um I I I yeah I don't think there's going to be one next week
59:47
okay oh God okay I'm all confused
1:00:00
that makes me the whole thing like that that's another thing like the uh it's it's like it makes the odds so much
1:00:07
greater that that like no is almost a guaranteed winner although if you guess no four times that's four OBS oh
1:00:16
God I guess I'll say uh no okay all
1:00:23
right wait which question is this this is new iPad Air has face ID okay I
1:00:29
thought we were on the new low-end magic keyboard announced be easier if they had
1:00:35
numbers on the on the questions yeah okay so now we're on new lowend
1:00:42
magic keyboard announced yes
1:00:48
okay new low and magic keyboard announced I'm going no no I'm also going
1:00:55
oh wait I'm going yes I don't think it'll have face ID but
1:01:00
I do think there'll be the magic keyboard because we we've been hearing rumors about that if there's going to be one at next week uh which now I'm losing
1:01:07
confidence in myself on that anyways 11th generation iPad
1:01:13
announced 11th gen iPad
1:01:21
announced that's number nine mhm what do you think Louis
1:01:27
one two three I put yes I put no I put
1:01:37
no this is I I gotta say this is the most confusing one of these ever there a
1:01:42
lot of there's a lot of reasons not to vote Yes or no and oh boy and it's a
1:01:48
tricky one next section other products we on now nine 10 question 10 yes
1:01:57
MacBook Air has M4 and no other significant changes
1:02:03
ooh I'm ready MacBook Air has
1:02:14
been when you are making me sigh what what's the what's the current one guys current is M3
1:02:21
huhh God are they really going to make it parody
1:02:29
3 two one okay all right go I voted yes I voted know still not sure it's coming
1:02:35
next week though which yeah I was gonna say this is gonna be like my highest score of all time or
1:02:41
my worst score of all time what did you vote I don't even remember I think I voted you voted yes
1:02:48
yes oh okay new home pod with a screen announced oh that's definitely coming
1:02:56
next week is that of might be this might be the new thing yeah could be now
1:03:06
now what if it what if they call it like the Home
1:03:13
pad that would be a no right like I don't think they're going to put the the
1:03:18
smart home hub which that might be what they're announced next week I don't think they're going to call it a home
1:03:23
pod h so I'm gonna okay I shouldn't have told
1:03:29
you my reasoning I suppose I changed my answer thanks it is going to be homepod branded but I guess
1:03:36
if you don't think it will if they announce it and it isn't called a homepod um I guess we'll have I guess I
1:03:44
would consider that to be a no if it was in the homepod family I
1:03:49
would probably say yes cuz you have no idea what the naming convention is going to be but it's more
1:03:55
along the lines of like is it going to be in that category of
1:04:00
products air tag two announced is number 12 wait did you reveal your answers for
1:04:06
for the last question what you say for that I said no no I said no as well
1:04:12
basically in the nomenclature which who knows I'm gonna go yes shot in the dark
1:04:17
I think it I think that's the new member of the product family I think that's the only product rumored product that it makes sense for and I think it's going
1:04:22
to be homepod branded okay I'm going yes on that air tag to
1:04:30
announced no no I also voted now I voted yes it's been so long come on get it out
1:04:37
there plus it looks like an air tag airpods pro 3
1:04:46
announced this is number 13 MH chat's going crazy you guys are all
1:04:54
pday uh if people are voting in the chat I'll remind you that I I don't go through the chat and include you in the results you
1:05:00
have to go to Deer jones.com survey to have are you reading Darth inklings
1:05:06
comment I let just fix the original home pod I still have it and it succumb to the death fart oh man seriously that
1:05:15
sucks Apple majorly bungled that product serious design flaws so many
1:05:20
people have had issues that guy that I told you all about who fixes hom pods he gets like 10 a week
1:05:27
really yes he gets so many hom pots people shipping them in from all over the place well they're expensive items
1:05:33
and they really it's it'd be really hard to throw one of those in trash and you can't replace it I mean you can get the
1:05:39
new homepod but it's not as good yeah announced this is 13 right
1:05:49
13 I said no no no I said no
1:05:57
Aon did you say no as well I said no okay updated Apple TV
1:06:02
announced this 14 M
1:06:09
okay I said no yeah me too although it's been a
1:06:16
while I also say no it has September product energy I
1:06:23
think new Apple watch band colors released like to do that in the
1:06:31
spring okay that's number 15
1:06:39
m one two three I said yes you said yes come on
1:06:45
they do that in April not they don't do that in the middle of winter it's always like you know April flowers and new
1:06:53
pink Apple watch bands it's always it's always a spring refresh come on man oops
1:07:02
anyways new Apple Studio display with mini
1:07:08
LED story on this earlier today oh we forgot to talk about it oh I guess we
1:07:13
decided to put it into the predictions ready yeah 3 two
1:07:21
one I said no I also said no because as
1:07:27
badly as I want one of these in fact I'm like gonna be watching this like a hawk so that I know when to sell my studio
1:07:32
display I think German said 2026 I believe German I think it's G to be a while so like towards the end of this
1:07:39
year I'm going to be looking to sell mine you know probably like October November time frame live without it for a little while and then maybe spring for
1:07:46
the new one
1:07:52
miscellaneous 18.4 beta is released this would be
1:08:01
17 iOS 18.4 beta is releas anytime in the week
1:08:06
really okay I voted yes the
1:08:17
beta I don't think they're going to do it next week I say no I also say
1:08:22
no well I'm happy two are losing a point on that I might be at zero I have no idea
1:08:30
I'm either going to be like I've never been so unsure I know confidence is at an all-time low I it'll be really
1:08:37
embarrassing if like every single one of our listeners gets it like way better than us I mean doesn't that usually
1:08:42
happen uh more products are 100% carbon neutral this is
1:08:51
18 100% see that's the
1:08:57
one two three they always crow about something
1:09:03
like this I vote Yes I vote no what yeah I
1:09:10
think I have to go know as well so few of their I mean I was really
1:09:17
confident about this for like three games in a row and like they just didn't mention it and I think the only new
1:09:23
product is like another I mean what are the products that are 100% carbon neutral like two versions of Apple watch
1:09:29
and what else I think like airpods or something like that some band or something yeah yeah yeah but you know
1:09:35
they they just keep doing more of it so I don't I don't know I think they make it a priority here are the a couple of
1:09:43
trees here are the two hardest questions in the game all product announcements are made on
1:09:51
Wednesday yikes okay I'm
1:09:57
ready 32 one Lewis okay I voted no I
1:10:03
think it'll be a Monday Tuesday and then big one on Wednesday see I think it's going to be one product next week and
1:10:09
only on Wednesday and that's why everything else that has nothing to do with iPhone SE is going to be wrong I
1:10:15
think that's all we're getting and the only reason I say that is
1:10:20
because of TC's wording in that tweet the newest
1:10:26
M if it was going to be plural that would have had s and then German
1:10:31
saying retweeting uh Tim Cook and saying this is for the iPhone SE next week so
1:10:37
that's your VIN diagram that's why I'm voting no on pretty much everything
1:10:43
else Lewis uh what was the question oh I
1:10:48
think I already voted no no I think there'll be other days they've been releasing a whole bunch of stuff I mean
1:10:55
who knows it could be a a new uh well they just did an invites
1:11:01
app anyway uh I need some clarification on this next one okay Apple releases a
1:11:09
keynote video what is that what do you mean by keynote video that's what I need to know I'm reconsidering the wording of
1:11:15
this question maybe product video okay like if they release it maybe not like uh because previously
1:11:22
they've done a thing where like um they released a new product I think it was
1:11:28
maybe like last spring or something like that they release a new product they don't like have a keynote but if you go
1:11:34
to the product page they have a link that says watch the announcement yeah where they it's like an eight minute
1:11:40
announcement video in the style of like a full keynote so when they obviously were thinking about pulling up full one
1:11:46
together and then they just said uh we don't have enough it's like a this is going to be a product video MH okay well
1:11:52
I mean yes if if you mean just a generic product video I mean how could anybody say no I
1:11:58
mean not just a product video like it it has to have like you know one of the Apple Executives like on camera okay so
1:12:04
you mean like a keynote video okay you mean at least a segment with turnis or somebody saying hey this is the really
1:12:11
the great oh yeah okay yeah yeah I'm ready maybe keep the wording exactly how it is keynote video okay it just doesn't
1:12:18
have to mean a twoh hour one it just means keynote style there might not be like a thing on apple.com events but
1:12:25
there will be like a keynote Style video associated with one of these products
1:12:31
okay got it right one two
1:12:38
three yes I voted yes oh I voted no
1:12:43
oh if it's important enough to tweet about a week ahead of time I think we
1:12:49
got video on the other hand maybe that's why he did it just so like to drum up interest you could be right we have no
1:12:56
which has uh been surprisingly effective by the way that's true that's true okay
1:13:03
that's it those are our predictions listeners you can submit your anones
1:13:10
survey this time I didn't I I couldn't think of a wild card question and I didn't really like how that went with
1:13:16
the last few games because I feel like the Wild Card completely through the the
1:13:21
rest of the answers it's like double jeopardy that's the whole point well I don't know I couldn't think of one
1:13:27
anyways I will say um if you're a member of the cult club now is a great time to join the Discord again uh get that new
1:13:34
Discord invite link and check out the C Club because like anytime there's a product announcement thing you know
1:13:39
people are or anytime we do the predictions game people are posting their answers we're talking about it they're like live posting in the Discord
1:13:46
as like an announcement is going on it's a great place to be uh support. the.com if you want to join in and if you
1:13:53
already a member but you gave up being in the cult Club because you kept getting booted out try it again or ping
1:13:59
me and I'll get you the link because we think that we fixed the problem it was very Insidious like very difficult
1:14:07
to figure out what was going on um I know some people are like getting kicked out every 10 seconds because of whatever
1:14:13
was going on with the Discord but I think we fixed it in any case that's it wow that was a fast
1:14:20
ending that's all the codcast we have for people this week leis that's it there's no more to say but we're excited
1:14:26
to see what happens next week and of course uh we'll be show right after terrifi who got the highest score
1:14:33
