You know what I'm going to label the theme of this episode Sam?
spk_0
Hmm.
spk_0
Regret.
spk_0
That's...
spk_0
That is a lot of...
spk_0
That is the theme of today's episode.
spk_0
I'm calling it right now.
spk_0
For shadowing, if you will.
spk_0
Hmm.
spk_0
Welcome back to Genius Bar everybody.
spk_0
Welcome back to Genius Bar.
spk_0
I'm calling this the Regret episode because I don't know if you saw it.
spk_0
I don't know if we needed this, but the Wall Street Journal put out a report.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Ooh, okay.
spk_0
I don't know if we needed said report to know this information.
spk_0
You know, you and I.
spk_0
They say that some Apple Vision Pro buyers feel total regret.
spk_0
Like that's their actual article.
spk_0
That's their actual...
spk_0
I know, fine.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
They pay...
spk_0
Why is this so dramatic?
spk_0
Why does this look like...
spk_0
This looks like you like rented from like a scummy landlord.
spk_0
It's like a year later.
spk_0
They're still searching for a home.
spk_0
Like, look at that harsh shadow.
spk_0
Like, where is that light?
spk_0
What kind of light is on this person?
spk_0
A car light?
spk_0
Yom...
spk_0
Yom, Alaskar flew from New York...
spk_0
Two New York from Israel, actually, to be one of the first people to buy the headset.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
One of the first people ever and still regrets.
spk_0
So that's sweet.
spk_0
She was that experience had to be fun, right?
spk_0
Does it look like he's having fun?
spk_0
It looks like he's overwhelmed.
spk_0
It does, it does.
spk_0
The sub-quote here, because of course they pay all their content,
spk_0
is the mixed reality headset launched last year with great promise.
spk_0
But all these buyers got were dirty looks and soar next.
spk_0
Dirty looks.
spk_0
I think they just stole the soar next thing from you.
spk_0
I mean, that's not exclusive to me, but it isn't wrong.
spk_0
You're the only person I ever heard say it.
spk_0
I mean, listen, they're not wrong because these quotes that I'm seeing in the Macroom
spk_0
is reposter.
spk_0
It's just collecting dust.
spk_0
I've probably used it four times in the last year.
spk_0
I have used it probably twice this year in five months so far.
spk_0
What about you?
spk_0
Hang on, let me really dig back here because I want to make sure I give an accurate answer.
spk_0
This year?
spk_0
So like since January, you would say?
spk_0
2025.
spk_0
Hmm, I think none.
spk_0
No times.
spk_0
No, no times have been used.
spk_0
But it's sad because I know this is true, right?
spk_0
This is like there's no arguing it.
spk_0
The Wall Street Journal speaks no lies.
spk_0
What they say must be true and they say buyers are feeling total regret.
spk_0
Do I feel total regret?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
But I regret the situation because I feel like it didn't have to go.
spk_0
This way, I feel like it didn't have to be this way.
spk_0
But Apple, even after they could see clear as day that this is how it was playing out,
spk_0
they did nothing to stop it, nothing to improve it.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I feel like to a certain extent, maybe halfway through when you realize that the ship is sinking,
spk_0
maybe start eating some stuff, maybe start cutting that cost in half.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I feel like Apple's never done that where they were a product was like trickling and failing
spk_0
so bad that they were just like, okay, price is half that.
spk_0
Because the optics on that, it looks bad.
spk_0
So maybe that's why they don't do it because they're so exclusive and so luxurious and
spk_0
so great.
spk_0
Make Apple great again.
spk_0
But yeah, I feel like the whole thing could have been helped a little bit along the way.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I mean, there's rumors that they're working on a lighter version potentially for as soon
spk_0
as later this year.
spk_0
I think even later this year is too long because that would be, I guess it'll be a year
spk_0
and a halfish if they do it this year.
spk_0
But it more sounds like it's going to be around February of 2026, which is a two year time
spk_0
window.
spk_0
Remember when they released the Apple Watch in April of 2020, sorry, April of 2015.
spk_0
How do you just release?
spk_0
Because I'm an insane person.
spk_0
You are an insane person.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And then they released.
spk_0
Remember it was the technically it was the series zero that came out in April and then
spk_0
that September within I think six to eight months, they updated the processor and it became
spk_0
the series one.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
Because they knew it was two, like immediately.
spk_0
Let me fact check myself.
spk_0
Apple Watch series one release date.
spk_0
I believe it was, okay, I think I'm incorrect.
spk_0
They released the series one alongside the series two in September of 2016.
spk_0
So it was a year.
spk_0
Is what a year and a half after?
spk_0
So actually it would be exactly on track with the new Vision Pro.
spk_0
We'll see.
spk_0
I think you got that.
spk_0
I think you fact check that just fast enough.
spk_0
Well, people were like halfway through typing their correction comment.
spk_0
So I think you stopped them.
spk_0
Thank you.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I haven't used it.
spk_0
I did start watching the dark night.
spk_0
The other day I wanted to feel like Christian.
spk_0
Oh, because it's leaving Netflix.
spk_0
No, I was actually watching our max.
spk_0
I wanted like the full.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I might, yeah, my family.
spk_0
Somehow I still am on the family plan for Netflix that they haven't taken away from me.
spk_0
And I was, you don't have the household thing?
spk_0
That's not an issue for you.
spk_0
I live many states away from Missouri now.
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
I got to have a household thing so long ago.
spk_0
So long ago.
spk_0
I got really lucky, I think, dude.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
So, yeah, I was watching that and I might finish it in the Vision Pro.
spk_0
I might finish it.
spk_0
Just because it is the best movie watching experience ever.
spk_0
And that's great, but it's just not.
spk_0
It's not the greatest movie listening experience though.
spk_0
It's just halfway there.
spk_0
No, no.
spk_0
You got to have, you got to have AirPods on for like a proper audio experience.
spk_0
And the best AirPods are AirPods Max.
spk_0
And now you're dealing with like 20 pounds on your head.
spk_0
So it's way too much.
spk_0
Good luck.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Oh, by the way, I think another correction before they typed their comments.
spk_0
HBO Max, sir.
spk_0
Oh, sorry.
spk_0
Sorry, I've got a bit confused in the rebrands.
spk_0
My bad.
spk_0
Get it right.
spk_0
HBO Max is the.
spk_0
We're so bad.
spk_0
You name.
spk_0
The marketing though around that is incredible.
spk_0
I don't know if you've been paying attention to HBO's Twitter and stuff.
spk_0
No, they have, oh, they fed in marketing so good.
spk_0
It's so good.
spk_0
10 out of 10.
spk_0
If I was, if I was rebranding to a name that I had already used, this is what I would
spk_0
be doing.
spk_0
You go back to front page deck.
spk_0
Instead of that.
spk_0
Isn't that kind of the same?
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
Do you think if we launch like a rebranding campaign and reveal that it's just
spk_0
from page deck that we did that counts?
spk_0
That would actually be funny.
spk_0
You should do that.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
I'll do it tomorrow.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I can save anyone only for a day.
spk_0
Save anyone.
spk_0
Absolutely.
spk_0
But yeah, I mean, Vision Pro continues to be tough, sad, and I don't really know.
spk_0
I mean, I still, and I want to stand on this.
spk_0
I want to, you know, I want to stand.
spk_0
I want to.
spk_0
I want to cut.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
So you can stand.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Well, I'll be cut off.
spk_0
So then you won't be able to do me.
spk_0
But I'll sit on this.
spk_0
And I want to, I want to have this known.
spk_0
I think the problem with Vision Pro isn't actually just the way.
spk_0
I think that was my initial take.
spk_0
The problem with Vision Pro right now is there is absolutely nothing practically useful
spk_0
aside from watching content.
spk_0
That is the problem with Vision Pro.
spk_0
It is an amazing piece of technology that is wildly ahead of everything else in the market
spk_0
that is in a weird form factor.
spk_0
But the movie watching experience is unparalleled.
spk_0
It is the best way to watch a movie if you can deal with the weight.
spk_0
The thing is, even if Apple gets, even if Apple has ultra light and thin, comfortable,
spk_0
$1,000, will people pay $1,000 to watch movies?
spk_0
I don't think so.
spk_0
They already have a TV.
spk_0
There has to be something that Apple solves that is not possible with any current technology
spk_0
that exists.
spk_0
You can't just reinvent the TV because it's so isolating and so low.
spk_0
You got to do something else.
spk_0
All right, that can be a feature of Vision Pro.
spk_0
But what Apple needs to solve is what, why do you, the phone is a phone and a messaging
spk_0
machine and an email box and the web and it fits in your pocket.
spk_0
I'm just saying that that's why this worked.
spk_0
The Vision Pro is movie, AMC in your pocket.
spk_0
No, not even AMC on your face is what it is.
spk_0
And they got to do something else.
spk_0
That's what I want to leave Vision Pro on.
spk_0
Well, yeah, they reinvented a lot with Vision Pro, but it's just, I don't even know what
spk_0
words to use, but they reinvented and re-invisioned existing features and hardware that exists only
spk_0
in that lane.
spk_0
Like only VR mixed reality stuff.
spk_0
Like they reinvented a lot of that.
spk_0
The displays are incredible.
spk_0
Like it is the best experience you could have for that, but they didn't address anything outside
spk_0
of just those specific use cases and what, and they don't really like, they had the opportunity
spk_0
to present their mainstream user base was something a reason, any reason why they needed it.
spk_0
And I don't think that they gave a proper reason.
spk_0
And they just gave the kind of the same reason as every other headset and every other headset
spk_0
is they are selling either.
spk_0
spk_0
But do you think they can fix it with Vision OS 3?
spk_0
You know what?
spk_0
Yeah, they'll just sell out of these finally when Vision OS 3 comes out.
spk_0
Did you know that according to Bark Berman, Apple Ready's feature that lets Vision Pro
spk_0
users scroll with their eyes?
spk_0
You know, he wrote an entire article about literally that one line.
spk_0
And he's like, you can scroll with your eyes now.
spk_0
So what he does, which is what a lot of learn from Bark Berman, it's very smart.
spk_0
He basically, so the leak is in the first and second line.
spk_0
And then everything else is just like, this is using technology, Apple's planning, big
spk_0
things soon.
spk_0
The Vision team is getting an overhaul.
spk_0
It will work on this at Apple's doing more stuff than I've ever, as I previously reported.
spk_0
I'm going to start doing my videos like that where like the first 12 seconds is like,
spk_0
guys, iOS 19 is going to be last buggy.
spk_0
Now, as I've talked about before, iOS 19 is going to be redesigned.
spk_0
As I previously reported, uh-oh.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I think I unironically do that.
spk_0
I mean, this sounds kind of cool, but I just, it also sounds exhausting.
spk_0
Like the idea of going, uh, uh, uh, uh.
spk_0
Well, I think he even mentions it in the article, Sam Sung phones did that in like 2013, 2014.
spk_0
That was an actual feature, not a, not a good one.
spk_0
But a cool like, a party trick.
spk_0
We'll see again, though, along with the rest of the heads, navigating vision OS is not the
spk_0
problem. It's the features we need, we need something else to do.
spk_0
We need a reason to be there.
spk_0
Ice crawling is the reason one and up.
spk_0
spk_0
I mean, they're going to spend more things than that.
spk_0
Do you think they're going to spend time?
spk_0
WWE DC is about to happen and they're going to spend time talking about that.
spk_0
Any amount of time is too many time.
spk_0
That's what they opened the keynote with last year, speaking of which,
spk_0
less than a month until dubbed cannot wait.
spk_0
So excited for that.
spk_0
Oh, yeah, just a day under.
spk_0
Is that correct?
spk_0
I think it's the ninth.
spk_0
So we're like always it.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
Why this whole time I thought it was the 13th.
spk_0
Probably is not like a Friday or something.
spk_0
Did I make that?
spk_0
It probably is.
spk_0
I mean, if it's Tuesday, when have they ever held dub?
spk_0
No, yeah, it works.
spk_0
Wait.
spk_0
So if that's a Tuesday, the 13th and June know is a Friday, bro.
spk_0
OK.
spk_0
OK. OK.
spk_0
spk_0
So it's the nine to 13.
spk_0
That's what you got it from.
spk_0
OK.
spk_0
OK.
spk_0
Technically, you were wrong.
spk_0
Technically, it is still happening that.
spk_0
Yeah, but the ass half of dub, dub doesn't count for us.
spk_0
You know, it's not nobody cares.
spk_0
It ain't about us.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
OK, it is about us.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
How about, uh, I don't know if you notice,
spk_0
but we talked last week on the show about how,
spk_0
I guess because of epic and the ruling there, Apple,
spk_0
has to allow, um, what you call third party payment systems to be used,
spk_0
like a Netflix, if they wanted to be like, hey, you could use instead of subscribing
spk_0
through iOS.
spk_0
In which case, we have to charge you 30% more because Apple charges 30% tax on this.
spk_0
We can, you can just buy it through the app and use Netflix payment system.
spk_0
Turns out Apple not going quietly with that day,
spk_0
they have a clever, but petty answer to that.
spk_0
You get a pop up in the, uh, store that says this app does not support the
spk_0
app stores private and secure payment system.
spk_0
It uses external purchases.
spk_0
I don't know why that would be like dangerous, but apparently it, oh,
spk_0
it's got a big car red caution symbol.
spk_0
So you know that it's bad.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh, does this feel
spk_0
yikki fair?
spk_0
I mean, I just don't know how they're expecting the appeal to work when they're
spk_0
doing stuff like this.
spk_0
Like they're actively appealing the decision, not that they're going to win,
spk_0
but they're actively appealing things and, uh,
spk_0
I don't know why they're being so petty about this.
spk_0
They lost.
spk_0
They just got to accept defeat.
spk_0
It's okay.
spk_0
We all, we all lose sometimes.
spk_0
Maybe maybe one day continue with our team, they will regret this behavior.
spk_0
Maybe they will regret this, but they were right.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
They're putting a big, I think that like the, I mean, the whole thing is app,
spk_0
the thing that separates App Store is that everything is curated.
spk_0
It's all approved by Apple.
spk_0
It's a safe app store.
spk_0
Everything here is safe.
spk_0
But now a good amount of apps are going to plaster this, oh, well,
spk_0
bad, not safe looking warning over them.
spk_0
And I just, I feel like they don't, they didn't really think that through.
spk_0
This is just, I feel like some, this was a single meeting.
spk_0
Someone was like, what do we do about this?
spk_0
Someone said, Hey, we could put big warning sign over.
spk_0
It's scare people.
spk_0
And someone was like, Tim was like, okay, I go, go back to tariffs now.
spk_0
And then here we are weird, very weird.
spk_0
The, you know, Apple's, what's the name?
spk_0
It's the, this has been, uh, for audio listeners, that's what's showing on screen right now.
spk_0
I'd say example.
spk_0
Absolutely no idea.
spk_0
But, uh, cool.
spk_0
Look at that.
spk_0
Apple is a bad loser.
spk_0
Yeah, I don't know why that's just weird.
spk_0
What are you guys doing?
spk_0
What are you doing?
spk_0
Do you have anything that is positive?
spk_0
I mean, yeah, I've got, I've got a few things that are positive.
spk_0
Okay, because it feels like I walked in here and someone was just like,
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Let's take a break from the grit just temporarily.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
We will be back.
spk_0
Don't you worry.
spk_0
Stay tuned to the end of the episode for big announcement.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Um, okay.
spk_0
This is the coolest thing Apple's done in years.
spk_0
CarPlay Ultra.
spk_0
Dumbass idiotic name.
spk_0
Why is it, why did we cut, why, if anything, this should be CarPlay Pro.
spk_0
It sounds like a, like a Majin Bu leak.
spk_0
It really does.
spk_0
I would not, if somebody would have said it's the new version of CarPlay that takes over all the screens.
spk_0
It's going to be called the Ultra CarPlay.
spk_0
I would say CarPlay Ultra.
spk_0
Ultra CarPlay sounds better actually.
spk_0
CarPlay Ultra, first of all, what I thought Ultra met.
spk_0
Words used to mean something Apple.
spk_0
Ultra used to mean extreme, like the highest, craziest tier.
spk_0
They should be, so it's, it should be CarPlay, CarPlay Pro, CarPlay Ultra.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
CarPlay Ultra should be what's in the Apple car?
spk_0
That would be like the full entire experience exclusive.
spk_0
I think words stopped meaning anything at Apple.
spk_0
The second they put Pro on an iPhone.
spk_0
Yeah, you're right.
spk_0
But at least pro sounds, I mean everybody's kind of doing that.
spk_0
It does make you be like, oh, this is the serious version of CarPlay.
spk_0
But no, we skipped Pro.
spk_0
We went straight to CarPlay Ultra.
spk_0
And maybe for good reason.
spk_0
This is one of, look at this.
spk_0
It is so pretty.
spk_0
Apple has fixed infotainment.
spk_0
It feels so ultra.
spk_0
Look at this.
spk_0
Look how ultra.
spk_0
It is so pretty.
spk_0
I've never wanted an Austin Martin.
spk_0
And now I'm like,
spk_0
maybe it's time.
spk_0
Maybe it's time to treat myself.
spk_0
So you can get CarPlay Ultra?
spk_0
Who's to say?
spk_0
That looks like this in this car.
spk_0
It looks so good, John.
spk_0
It really do.
spk_0
I wish that, um, oh my god,
spk_0
it even looks cool loading.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
And the coolest part is the customization.
spk_0
Go on.
spk_0
So a lot of people have been worried about,
spk_0
okay, wait a second.
spk_0
Wait a second.
spk_0
If you do this, every car is going to lose its
spk_0
individuality.
spk_0
No, Apple has thought through this.
spk_0
You can design completely boutique custom gauges
spk_0
as the automaker.
spk_0
So this is the, for example, what you're looking at right now,
spk_0
this is going to be the default Austin Martin.
spk_0
Look, it's got that racing green.
spk_0
Oh, it looks so good.
spk_0
Then you go through here.
spk_0
You've got your different menus.
spk_0
But then wait a second.
spk_0
What if you're feeling something different?
spk_0
Hold on.
spk_0
I'm going to get to it.
spk_0
Nope, not in that section.
spk_0
Here's the section.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
You can choose from curated set of
spk_0
instrument cluster themes with different colors.
spk_0
So like, here's an Apple designed look.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
See how you've got all these different vibes you can select from.
spk_0
Like a bunch of Apple watch faces,
spk_0
but they go fast.
spk_0
Exactly, dude.
spk_0
So very, very cool.
spk_0
And then if you want, look, you can go right back to
spk_0
Austin Martin.
spk_0
If you want that OEM feel or again,
spk_0
and this is what people are forgetting to be for.
spk_0
I did not mention this like my TikTok or whatever.
spk_0
You can, you don't have to use this.
spk_0
Like, there is a built-in infotainment still that if you want to use the dog looking
spk_0
Austin Martin, you can use that.
spk_0
Nobody's going to stop me.
spk_0
It's made noises that it's indicating that it was good in the green.
spk_0
You like to green and now you're calling it a dog.
spk_0
No, no, no.
spk_0
I'm saying like no car play.
spk_0
You can use the original manufacturer infotainment.
spk_0
I see what you're saying.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
If you want, I mean, you'd be silly.
spk_0
Even the chief designer at Austin Martin said he's going to use car play over his own
spk_0
team's design.
spk_0
Oh, of course.
spk_0
I mean, it is, you can't, you just can't, there's certain things you can't compete in.
spk_0
Car manufacturers can't compete in software.
spk_0
That's just how it is.
spk_0
And it's not going to unbeat that way.
spk_0
The thing is, and I'm going to say something controversial.
spk_0
I started using car play recently.
spk_0
And how have we not yet solved navigation on the phone?
spk_0
How does it think I'm going right when I'm actually going straight?
spk_0
The amount of times the map glitches out.
spk_0
And it doesn't know where I am or what I'm doing.
spk_0
How have we, okay, I thought I was in saying no, Tesla has perfected this.
spk_0
I don't understand how car play still can, it's like, are you going,
spk_0
you were supposed to go straight?
spk_0
Well, you didn't tell me soon enough and now I'm going upside down left.
spk_0
I had this issue the other day where I,
spk_0
luckily I'd gotten past the part of the where I didn't know where it was.
spk_0
And I never, this has never happened before.
spk_0
So I just assumed, I don't know, it was my phone.
spk_0
I could just, because my phone never fucking works because I was.
spk_0
For obvious reasons.
spk_0
So I assumed that my phone just lost itself somehow.
spk_0
But I was, I like took an exit, but was like, continuing on the freeway.
spk_0
And it just said I was in the grass.
spk_0
I was very much not in the grass and it completely lost where I was.
spk_0
Couldn't tell me where to get off next.
spk_0
It knew nothing because it thought I was in the grass.
spk_0
And then it was like, hey, you go, you should turn around.
spk_0
It's trying to reroute.
spk_0
And so the thing is spinning on the screen because it doesn't know if I'm north,
spk_0
east, south, west.
spk_0
It doesn't, it doesn't know.
spk_0
It thinks I'm in the grass.
spk_0
It doesn't know which direction I'm facing.
spk_0
And so I was like, huh, wonder if my phone is broken.
spk_0
It'll probably, it'll probably, it's probably my signal, you know,
spk_0
maybe I just don't have enough signal here.
spk_0
That wasn't true.
spk_0
Turn the phone off and back on and magically,
spk_0
knew where I was.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I've been doing some, some Canyon driving and what confuses me about even Apple Maps, right?
spk_0
People forget the phone, sorry, when I say people, I mean me.
spk_0
The phone has a GPS, all right?
spk_0
It does not, you do not need internet to connect to a satellite.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Okay, I'm driving in the mountains where there is no LTE 5G, no cell service.
spk_0
I look at my phone.
spk_0
It knows exactly where I'm at.
spk_0
It shows me to the T, the exact road that I'm on in the mountain.
spk_0
You try to use Apple Maps to navigate home.
spk_0
It's like, oh, I don't know what the fuck's going on.
spk_0
I don't know where you're at.
spk_0
I don't know where home is.
spk_0
It shows me to the millimeter where I'm at on the map.
spk_0
It knows where I'm at.
spk_0
But it's somehow like, I'm not saying I need perfect navigation directions of what traffic.
spk_0
Just give me a route home is all I'm asking for.
spk_0
And it's like, I don't know how to do that.
spk_0
I don't know what's going on.
spk_0
And I'm like, you're showing me where I'm at.
spk_0
I can see where I'm at.
spk_0
Just, and I can see home.
spk_0
I can see home on the map.
spk_0
Just take me there.
spk_0
It can't take me there.
spk_0
The answer is no.
spk_0
Do you think that you have to have car play ultra for it to be accurate?
spk_0
I do think it may be time to, how much is, how much are going to cost me to get this?
spk_0
Aston Martin Price.
spk_0
There we go.
spk_0
Okay, Aston Martin, Martin's range in price only from 194,000 to 3.5 million.
spk_0
So the cheapest entry level is going to be the vantage.
spk_0
What does the vantage look like?
spk_0
Okay, okay.
spk_0
191.
spk_0
Okay, God, that is a good looking car, dude.
spk_0
I've never even heard of a Valkyrie and it sounds like a three and a half-bill car.
spk_0
No, no, the Valkyrie is insane.
spk_0
This is actually one of my, becoming one of my dream cars.
spk_0
Look at this thing, dude.
spk_0
I'm waiting.
spk_0
It's that, oh, I'm not on the right tab.
spk_0
I'm sorry, dude.
spk_0
I've been navigating it entirely differently.
spk_0
That's okay.
spk_0
We've just been, I've just been with the audio listeners.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
spk_0
Dude.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
That's, that's a normal watch this.
spk_0
Valkyrie.
spk_0
Dude.
spk_0
Oh, my, that looks like I would die in it.
spk_0
That is stunning.
spk_0
Yeah, I'd be dead.
spk_0
Look at this thing, dude.
spk_0
Is it a two-seater?
spk_0
There's...
spk_0
Do you remember Dexter's laboratory?
spk_0
That is a two-seater one.
spk_0
It looks like something Mandark would drive.
spk_0
Oh, my God, look at that thing.
spk_0
Yeah, that is a coffin for me.
spk_0
I would die pretty quickly.
spk_0
I'm guessing.
spk_0
I got to get one of these, dude.
spk_0
Can I borrow one?
spk_0
I got to get one of these.
spk_0
spk_0
Yeah, is this street legal?
spk_0
I think, yeah, one version is not, not,
spk_0
this looks like that track, like race version.
spk_0
But no, I believe this version is.
spk_0
Oh, I don't know, that blue is really nice.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
All right, so two, really?
spk_0
Okay, the used has to be cheaper.
spk_0
Used, Ashton Martin Vantage.
spk_0
That was the cheapest one, right?
spk_0
Near me.
spk_0
Oh, wait, this is literally, I know exactly.
spk_0
I was looking at this place the other day.
spk_0
This is, yeah, very close.
spk_0
Okay, so 2020...
spk_0
Oh, they dropped...
spk_0
I forgot these depreciate like crazy.
spk_0
155 for 2023.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
A 2020 is 100?
spk_0
What?
spk_0
That was like a 200, it's dropped 100K in five years.
spk_0
Why is the 2021...
spk_0
It's only got 16,000 miles on it.
spk_0
98K?
spk_0
Jesus.
spk_0
Oh my god, and it looks brand new.
spk_0
It kind of does.
spk_0
I think, does this...
spk_0
Okay, hold on, what is the old...
spk_0
Oh, that is a...
spk_0
Oh, I love that shot.
spk_0
Nice angle on this.
spk_0
Ashton Martin IV CarPlay Ultra.
spk_0
Does it say?
spk_0
I feel like it has to, right?
spk_0
It says...
spk_0
Uh, experience is available right now on new art,
spk_0
and we'll be available in the next one.
spk_0
Oh, no.
spk_0
Well, it says existing.
spk_0
So, wait, how far back can you go?
spk_0
Could you get like a 20-year-old?
spk_0
It's 16.
spk_0
What if I didn't say...
spk_0
Okay, visit media.astonMartin.com.
spk_0
Let's do it.
spk_0
Okay, they definitely have a press release about this.
spk_0
Okay, here we go.
spk_0
Okay, I thought it was a paywall at first.
spk_0
I thought it was a paywall at first.
spk_0
Um, okay.
spk_0
So...
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
This feels like it's going to be in here.
spk_0
Load.
spk_0
You got to expand the article.
spk_0
Where?
spk_0
Up, up, up, up.
spk_0
Right there.
spk_0
Okay, God, why do they do this?
spk_0
Uh, single system...
spk_0
Okay, initially launching in US and Canada,
spk_0
CarPlay Ultra is available on the super cars...
spk_0
on the super car of SUVs, DBS.
spk_0
That's just marketing.
spk_0
Along with Ashton Martin's core sports cards,
spk_0
Vantage DB-12 vanquish.
spk_0
We'll include all global markets.
spk_0
It's on new vehicle orders today
spk_0
as standard and made available as an update
spk_0
for existing models
spk_0
through the dealer now.
spk_0
I mean, it just says existing models.
spk_0
So I'm...
spk_0
So I guess the only one still supported by the dealer?
spk_0
Well, it sounds like if you have CarPlay
spk_0
in your Ashton Martin at all.
spk_0
So...
spk_0
Let's go to Apple CarPlay support.
spk_0
Now we can...
spk_0
Now we're doing God's work here.
spk_0
Okay, more than 800 models to choose from.
spk_0
So let's find Ashton Martin.
spk_0
Okay, theoretically...
spk_0
Readically...
spk_0
spk_0
You can go back to 2017.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So let's do a 2017...
spk_0
Vantage?
spk_0
Without being the cheapest,
spk_0
the vanquish?
spk_0
Let's just do 2017 Ashton Martin.
spk_0
Let's see the price on that.
spk_0
Loading.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Here we go.
spk_0
Used for sale.
spk_0
94,000 still?
spk_0
So do they just still drop?
spk_0
85,000?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
90?
spk_0
Okay, let's go here.
spk_0
We're not...
spk_0
We're not sorting by price.
spk_0
We got to go high to low.
spk_0
Low to high.
spk_0
Come on.
spk_0
Why did that not change from whatsoever?
spk_0
Oh, we got to enter my zip code.
spk_0
God.
spk_0
Why is this not working?
spk_0
This is a silly little guy.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
80...
spk_0
Oh no, price low to high.
spk_0
89,000 is the cheapest.
spk_0
So that is the cheapest, okay.
spk_0
That's cool color.
spk_0
What about...
spk_0
A vanage.
spk_0
That's got to be cheaper.
spk_0
Oh, oh, that's a Hyundai.
spk_0
How did that even happen?
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
What about a vanquish?
spk_0
Oh, 2014.
spk_0
Oh, we need...
spk_0
Well, we need 2017 and up.
spk_0
Year 2016.
spk_0
Oh, this goes 17.
spk_0
Really a lot.
spk_0
Oh, oh, oh.
spk_0
These are all Lamborghini somehow.
spk_0
Okay, so basically you're spending 100K.
spk_0
100K is your cheapest in the door to get
spk_0
Aston Martin with Carpoil.
spk_0
I mean,
spk_0
could be worth it?
spk_0
Could be worth it.
spk_0
Could be worth it.
spk_0
Could be worth it.
spk_0
Could be worth it.
spk_0
What shot?
spk_0
I mean, you have to agree.
spk_0
This is one of the coolest things apples done.
spk_0
Something.
spk_0
Yeah, you could say that.
spk_0
But there's something that is happening right now
spk_0
and that is positive for certain people.
spk_0
And that is, you know, how every year,
spk_0
I'm surprised you haven't made your video yet.
spk_0
I'm surprised I haven't made my video yet.
spk_0
Every year,
spk_0
we put out like a first look at iOS 19,
spk_0
first official look.
spk_0
And it's because they announce accessibility features early.
spk_0
spk_0
Yeah, that happened.
spk_0
I actually missed what the feature was
spk_0
because I was focused on what Tim Sweeney was replying.
spk_0
So,
spk_0
CEO of Epic, by the way.
spk_0
I want to be honest, I did not look that closely at this.
spk_0
I literally just scrolled through the article and was like,
spk_0
can you see a vision OS styling yet?
spk_0
And the answer is no.
spk_0
Well, that doesn't sound like it's accessibility.
spk_0
I mean, obviously I can do that.
spk_0
But in the past, there's been like,
spk_0
you know, little tidbits that have been here.
spk_0
Now, this one I was confused about.
spk_0
I was really confused.
spk_0
They said that they're adding braille.
spk_0
Now, how?
spk_0
I don't have a lot of experience with braille,
spk_0
but I believe that involves touching textures.
spk_0
Yes, that sounds familiar.
spk_0
Let's read it.
spk_0
I'll access an all new experience.
spk_0
It turns iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
spk_0
Oh, Vision Pro.
spk_0
It probably uses vibration somehow too.
spk_0
Oh, a full featured braille note taker
spk_0
that's deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem.
spk_0
Built in app launcher users can easily open any app
spk_0
by typing with Braille screen input.
spk_0
Yeah, you can probably.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
That's really cool, actually.
spk_0
Okay, I see.
spk_0
And you can take notes that translate into braille.
spk_0
That's really cool.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Shall we?
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
We've got the accessibility reader.
spk_0
You're reading the Odyssey.
spk_0
That's going to be a long read.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Not my favorite book I've ever read.
spk_0
Live captions.
spk_0
Cool.
spk_0
Yeah, that's that is literally only good.
spk_0
Oh, I did not see this enhanced view with Apple Vision Pro.
spk_0
You can zoom in.
spk_0
Oh, my God.
spk_0
I didn't know why this was this an initial feature.
spk_0
This is like this is just a good idea that should be there.
spk_0
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
spk_0
You can just zoom in on like stuff in the real world.
spk_0
It's like glasses, but cooler.
spk_0
Oh, personal voice is becoming faster,
spk_0
easier and more powerful than ever.
spk_0
Wow, personal voice, huh?
spk_0
Now this one was a little interesting.
spk_0
Vehicle motion cues on the Mac.
spk_0
I mean, I guess if you're working at Ike2BeFair,
spk_0
I've worked in the car before I should I shouldn't be.
spk_0
No, yeah, I've, yes, I've seen this happening.
spk_0
Yeah, and I don't know how you don't get in the car sick.
spk_0
I just don't, my stomach's pretty good for that type of thing.
spk_0
But it's not good if you get on an airplane and have to land somewhere else.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
I've got it better though.
spk_0
Actually, my anxiety has been, my, my, my IBS has been better lately for everybody wondering.
spk_0
I know there's been a lot of concern.
spk_0
Yeah, the community.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
First look at iOS 19.
spk_0
First official look.
spk_0
Yeah, no, none of it looks like Vision OS.
spk_0
I guess.
spk_0
And honestly, there's no, there's no feature this year that like,
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
Is a game changer?
spk_0
Yeah, well, this one was a game changer.
spk_0
Yeah, this one's cool.
spk_0
Where like you can zoom in using your iPhone on your Mac.
spk_0
Like, that's really cool.
spk_0
But it wasn't like, I mean, at the end of the day, it's just zoom.
spk_0
Like you could just take your camera before and zoom.
spk_0
You know, it's not, it's not exactly like game changer.
spk_0
The way that works on Vision Pro is like, uh, when you wear AirPods,
spk_0
but you can kind of use them as hearing aids sometimes.
spk_0
That's like, now you can kind of use your Vision Pro as glasses sometimes.
spk_0
John, this episode is sponsored by Delete Me.
spk_0
Yay!
spk_0
Delete Me.
spk_0
Do you know why it's sponsored by Delete Me?
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Because they have simply changed not only my life, but I believe if I'm correct,
spk_0
they've changed your life as well.
spk_0
Wow, a way to put me on the spot they have.
spk_0
And it's so, it's so touching to me because identity theft is not a joke, Jim.
spk_0
There's so many issues here.
spk_0
First of all, your personal data, it's a lot of, it's a lot of places online that shouldn't be.
spk_0
You might be like, how?
spk_0
I don't remember ever telling anyone any of that.
spk_0
Turns out there's these little gremlins.
spk_0
They're called data brokers.
spk_0
Their entire existence.
spk_0
They're just teams of people.
spk_0
All they do all day is they sit at their desk and they collect all of your personal data.
spk_0
Now, why would they want to do that?
spk_0
Turns out, they want to sell it to the highest bidder.
spk_0
And there aren't many people that can help you with this problem.
spk_0
That's why we have Delete Me.
spk_0
Dude, what they do is on your behalf, they reach out to these.
spk_0
I'm going to say it.
spk_0
These bastards on your behalf.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Yeah, they're no longer gremlins.
spk_0
They've been upgraded to the B word.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Because I'm sick and tired of seeing stuff.
spk_0
I was sick and tired of getting spam calls and guess what?
spk_0
When I switched to Delete Me, I felt like I got some privacy back.
spk_0
I saw my data getting removed.
spk_0
They have this dashboard.
spk_0
You can check to see what's going on.
spk_0
And the best part is the spam calls have just gone downhill.
spk_0
Like actually change my life.
spk_0
It's like someone tries to call you, but Delete Me steps in front and says,
spk_0
no, not today.
spk_0
Guess what?
spk_0

spk_0
Of which there, do you see Germans been starting to share some rumies?
spk_0
No, I didn't actually.
spk_0
What are the rumies?
spk_0
There's going to be a focus on stability and less glitches.
spk_0
There's going to be AI battery management for longer battery life.
spk_0
And there's going to be an improved captive Wi-Fi experience.
spk_0
These are these are these are leaks?
spk_0
What do you yeah?
spk_0
Like the say this?
spk_0
No, correct.
spk_0
Like the AI baddie,
spk_0
baddie, dude, where's my AI baddie?
spk_0
The AI battery management, that's a feature.
spk_0
That sounds like a leak.
spk_0
That's cool.
spk_0
But like we'll focus on stability and less glitches.
spk_0
That's true.
spk_0
Bigger true, I mean.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I mean the captive Wi-Fi is cool.
spk_0
It's basically like you know how you do hotel and you always have to like enter your email
spk_0
or something.
spk_0
Yeah, no fun.
spk_0
Basically sounds like you'll be able to enter it on one device
spk_0
and it'll just auto fill on every device.
spk_0
That's cool.
spk_0
AI battery management sounds like it's going to use Apple and Toladans
spk_0
to extend battery and it's going to be a key feature.
spk_0
Might have to with that iPhone Air.
spk_0
Because
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
No, quit yawning.
spk_0
No yawning.
spk_0
Holy crap.
spk_0
Please, stop looking at me.
spk_0
Okay, I'm pretty again.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
We got this crazy report from the information that it's going to be my next video.
spk_0
So don't watch skip this if you're planning to watch my next video.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Just definitely buddy.
spk_0
Spoilers.
spk_0
Here we go.
spk_0
Our boy Wayne Ma.
spk_0
Absolutely.
spk_0
No, it's, I mean at first of all this this article is
spk_0
I'm so excited for my YouTube channel for the next couple of years.
spk_0
I think after that it's over for me like after
spk_0
Oh, you can plan the retirement now.
spk_0
Yeah, after 2027, I'm done.
spk_0
There's yet not a shot.
spk_0
I have anything.
spk_0
Oh, so you're going to you're going to time it up with Tim.
spk_0
I think so.
spk_0
I think 2027.
spk_0
You're not here walking out time.
spk_0
And maybe I'll speak in a regret.
spk_0
Maybe maybe I'll regret, you know, leaving so soon.
spk_0
But I think that could be the time to make the exit strategy.
spk_0
Because after that, I don't know what they're going to do.
spk_0
But there's some fun ass iPhones coming in the next few years.
spk_0
Okay, so the iPhone Air, we've got some bad news.
spk_0
Y'all, where's the bad news?
spk_0
But you know how you know Wayne Ma's the goat.
spk_0
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
spk_0
None of the featured images and his articles have to be exaggerated.
spk_0
Or like not they're not even new.
spk_0
They're showing old iPhones as featured images.
spk_0
Yeah, Mike Solven could update some of them.
spk_0
No fake screen on the back.
spk_0
No AirPods flipping out of the top.
spk_0
Not yet.
spk_0
Just straight up information.
spk_0
Hey, so we have good one.
spk_0
We've been worried about the battery life, right?
spk_0
You know how we've been talking about how battery life could be scary on the air?
spk_0
On, yep.
spk_0
Mm hmm.
spk_0
So it's going to be real rough.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
How many apples is internal testing?
spk_0
So generally they target their battery test target.
spk_0
They say we want 80 to 90% of iPhone users to be able to get through the day
spk_0
before having to charge.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Okay, and in testing the the air, they are,
spk_0
they're struggling to hit 60 to 70%.
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
So almost up to almost half the people that buy this will have to charge before the end of the day
spk_0
every day when it's new, non-degree battery.
spk_0
But what if I already do that?
spk_0
And my battery's supposed to be good.
spk_0
You ready to do that?
spk_0
I feel it feels like I am.
spk_0
To be fair.
spk_0
So it's going to be worse for me.
spk_0
I mean, I probably have to, I would say maybe two days, three days out of every week.
spk_0
I have to throw the iPhone on the charger before.
spk_0
But normally I will say the pro, we're getting to the,
spk_0
like I think the next pro with the bigger battery that's rumored, I think,
spk_0
I think the next pro will be like finally great battery.
spk_0
Well, especially with what is what is the AI battery management even mean?
spk_0
It sounds like it's going to essentially watch your behavior
spk_0
and anything that you're not doing regularly.
spk_0
Like for example, if you check Twitter constantly,
spk_0
it would leave background.
spk_0
Oh, I see.
spk_0
But if you check your email once a day, it might not do background checking
spk_0
or refreshing for that.
spk_0
I'm not, that's my understanding of it.
spk_0
Which could be really useful.
spk_0
It definitely could extend the battery and whatnot.
spk_0
Well, you know what else could extend the battery?
spk_0
What?
spk_0
A battery case for the iPhone Air.
spk_0
Oh, you heard about this, didn't you?
spk_0
I heard about it through a little birdie named Apple Drive.
spk_0
I don't even think I tweeted about that.
spk_0
I don't know how do I know about it.
spk_0
It was an extended dream.
spk_0
I don't even think I heard about it like in a serious capacity.
spk_0
I'm pretty sure I heard about it like as a meme referring back to the
spk_0
tennis.
spk_0
Yeah, is that what that was?
spk_0
Yeah, I feel like we're just literally going through my next video right now.
spk_0
Very interested.
spk_0
Well, you already dismissed the people that wanted to see the video.
spk_0
So this is just the people that don't watch.
spk_0
But yeah, they're so that it fixed this.
spk_0
You're like, what's the solution?
spk_0
A battery case.
spk_0
Now I say this in my video.
spk_0
I'll say it again.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
Like the solution to an ultra thin phone having a bad battery is to make it into a normal
spk_0
slip slip phone.
spk_0
Like you turned a thin phone into a normal phone.
spk_0
Is it even more battery?
spk_0
You can choose 99 dollar battery case.
spk_0
I listen, I don't make phones.
spk_0
Never made one.
spk_0
Actually, I've never made one.
spk_0
I have no immediate plans to put.
spk_0
Not saying I'll never put out a phone.
spk_0
But if I were to make one and I was going to make a thin one,
spk_0
okay, and I wanted to be real thin.
spk_0
And if at some point in the manufacturing, I decided you know what?
spk_0
This is probably going to have to launch with a case that has extra battery in it.
spk_0
Maybe I have made the phone too thin.
spk_0
Maybe, maybe, maybe I won't sell it.
spk_0
Yeah, but it's going to be kind of sick, dude.
spk_0
Here's how I'm planning to use the error.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I'm planning to have this as my secondary phone.
spk_0
Like when I'm going out on the town to a stake dinner,
spk_0
I'm bringing the error.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
As long as you're on that dinner for like maximum three hours.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, that'll have to sway.
spk_0
I'll bring both.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
But I mean, I like this idea.
spk_0
I like that there's something I just can't shake.
spk_0
It's going to be so beautiful.
spk_0
You can't make me hate her.
spk_0
I feel like if you shake it,
spk_0
bad things going to happen.
spk_0
Yeah, maybe, maybe don't do that.
spk_0
I feel like, this is a serious thing that's happening.
spk_0
This battery case is absolutely happening with this.
spk_0
Do you think it happens when it launches?
spk_0
Yeah, I think it launches.
spk_0
Immediately admitting that like, I feel like releasing it
spk_0
and then like even if it's ready to go,
spk_0
if you just weigh a little bit and then release the battery case,
spk_0
it's a little bit cooler than just knowing right away that it's fucked.
spk_0
I think it's going to be and for users that want even more battery life from iPhone Air,
spk_0
we have an optional battery case to help you blast through the day like Jimmy.
spk_0
Blast through the day.
spk_0
This is like, this is like when they got rid of the headphone jack,
spk_0
but then gave you AirPods on the same day, except this is way less cool and way less useful
spk_0
and not new at all and does not take any courage.
spk_0
What if the battery case look cool though?
spk_0
What if they find a way to make it?
spk_0
Can it look cooler than an ultra thin slam iPhone?
spk_0
I don't think they can.
spk_0
Not a shot.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Okay, but maybe you don't want that.
spk_0
So next year we've got some really interesting stuff happen.
spk_0
Okay, so a couple of other things.
spk_0
Starting next fall, totally different way Apple releases iPhones from here and out.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
We're no longer getting the entire line up out once.
spk_0
Only the expensive models are coming in the fall.
spk_0
The cheap ones are coming in the spring.
spk_0
This is nuts.
spk_0
So pro and ultra, which is the foldable coming September, 2026.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Cheap phone, regular iPhone 18 and iPhone 18E coming out in March.
spk_0
This is so many.
spk_0
I have 2027.
spk_0
I like this release cycle.
spk_0
Well, also so many iPhones.
spk_0
Steve is not happy right now.
spk_0
The fact that I'm going to get to be doing,
spk_0
dude, the fact that I get to do iPhone rumors not just in the fall,
spk_0
but it'll be like regular eating.
spk_0
Especially at the beginning of the year.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Oh, that's why I'm saying I'm eating.
spk_0
I'm eating for the next couple of years.
spk_0
Everything Apple Pro watch out.
spk_0
That's all I have to say.
spk_0
Oh, miss you, failure.
spk_0
Speaking of regret.
spk_0
Then we can get two drop tests a year from him.
spk_0
And me.
spk_0
And you.
spk_0
I mean, I don't drop phones.
spk_0
I would never.
spk_0
No, you would never Apple.
spk_0
You would never like fly to a different country to drop the phone.
spk_0
No, I have a ball.
spk_0
I take it.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So.
spk_0
So.
spk_0
Next year.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Dynamic Island going away.
spk_0
Rest in spaghetti.
spk_0
Never forget.
spk_0
Kind of, I don't know.
spk_0
They are moving the front facing camera.
spk_0
So they're putting face ID under the screen.
spk_0
But they haven't yet gotten it for the camera.
spk_0
But so apparently Apple is moving the camera to the top left.
spk_0
That's what they've chosen.
spk_0
Top left.
spk_0
Not the middle.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
So not the same as my illustrious iPhone 14 pro leak.
spk_0
No, they're not.
spk_0
Imagine this.
spk_0
What the other side.
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
Wait, did Apple literally just do this because Android always does it on the right?
spk_0
Probably.
spk_0
How else will you know?
spk_0
Wait, I actually didn't realize.
spk_0
Oh, remember these days?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'm not going to lie.
spk_0
I would rather have the dynamic island.
spk_0
Oh, of course.
spk_0
Like, why are...
spk_0
I don't need this to happen at all.
spk_0
It's going to...
spk_0
It's the manufacturing cost on that.
spk_0
It's got to be crazy.
spk_0
The R&D on that has probably...
spk_0
has already been crazy for years.
spk_0
But the fact that they were able to create a solution
spk_0
where you got to cut out in the display,
spk_0
it's centered.
spk_0
The corner radius is good.
spk_0
And...
spk_0
And it's useful in software.
spk_0
That's like one of the most genius moves.
spk_0
It's the dream.
spk_0
I have ever seen Apple do since I've been covering them.
spk_0
I remember being so surprised by dynamic island.
spk_0
I don't understand why you would take something
spk_0
that is specifically uniquely, definitely only Apple
spk_0
and make it not that way.
spk_0
Well, my theory is that dynamic island is just going to move.
spk_0
Like, you know how we didn't have...
spk_0
But close up into just a little dot?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Like, essentially, it will shift to the left.
spk_0
Like, basically, dynamic island...
spk_0
I mean, we've heard...
spk_0
You look like you're in pain.
spk_0
Dynamic island...
spk_0
It hurts to hear.
spk_0
It's going to be permanently shifted to the left.
spk_0
That still feels weird, though.
spk_0
For me, I'm like, wouldn't you just want to just make the dynamic island smaller in the middle?
spk_0
Just put the camera center.
spk_0
And then keep dynamic island there.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
It's just my idea.
spk_0
That is what makes sense to me.
spk_0
Dynamic island coming out of the corner.
spk_0
And like, it is so seamless.
spk_0
Now, like, the animation is the way it comes out.
spk_0
The animations cannot be as smooth and as seamless
spk_0
if it has to go to such a small little dot.
spk_0
Well, who's to say?
spk_0
Maybe they'll figure it out.
spk_0
But that's 18 pro.
spk_0
But are you ready for the big one?
spk_0
I'm ready for the big one.
spk_0
What if I told you
spk_0
that the moment we've actually all been waiting for
spk_0
is coming in two years?
spk_0
They're getting rid of the notch.
spk_0
That's what I put in my YouTube thumbnails for years.
spk_0
One of the more significant changes.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
We'll be the year after.
spk_0
In 2027.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So 20th anniversary.
spk_0
iPhone XX.
spk_0
It will place the front facing camera underneath the screen
spk_0
to enable a truly edge-to-edge display to of the people said.
spk_0
And it would coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone.
spk_0
So let me show you what this is going to look like.
spk_0
So this is our next iPhone X.
spk_0
iPhone 8 Ben Gaskin.
spk_0
It's going to pull up exactly.
spk_0
Oh man.
spk_0
And this brings me back.
spk_0
There we are.
spk_0
I'm fine.
spk_0
I miss I drop news.
spk_0
Things were so simple.
spk_0
They were.
spk_0
Oh, remember the white bezel?
spk_0
That was so good.
spk_0
There we go.
spk_0
There it is.
spk_0
It's so nice looking.
spk_0
There it is.
spk_0
10 years after this was supposed to happen.
spk_0
It is actually going to happen.
spk_0
Do you think they heard this?
spk_0
They can went, oh, that's good.
spk_0
spk_0
Whoa.
spk_0
We should have done this all along.
spk_0
Yes, dude.
spk_0
It is finally happening.
spk_0
Oh, the app.
spk_0
It's pictures.
spk_0
It's so nostalgic.
spk_0
I absolutely am so excited.
spk_0
And guess what?
spk_0
Things get better.
spk_0
How could they possibly get better than this?
spk_0
Because it's not just going to be a little upgrade
spk_0
for the 20th anniversary.
spk_0
We don't want a little one.
spk_0
We want a big one.
spk_0
This is crazy.
spk_0
20th anniversary iPhone display may have no visible frame or bezels.
spk_0
Remember these concepts that we've always gotten?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
They'll like the waterfall display.
spk_0
Apparently that looks like a fucking crazy.
spk_0
I do so well.
spk_0
That would look nice.
spk_0
spk_0
Wow, it's been a while since I saw something.
spk_0
Like especially a phone where I was like,
spk_0
yo, that tickles me in places.
spk_0
That's sick though.
spk_0
This one I'm saying.
spk_0
We're going to be eating for the next couple of years, bro.
spk_0
June went on.
spk_0
Because now I can do that in thumbnails.
spk_0
And it's not so cool.
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
And people are going to say, that's clickbait.
spk_0
You're clickbait.
spk_0
I'm going to say, yeah, have it talk to my boys at ET news.
spk_0
That's what I'm going to tell them.
spk_0
Oh, they came from ET news.
spk_0
Yeah, dude.
spk_0
What's their Apple track rating?
spk_0
Before Apple Cloud, I'm going to try close down.
spk_0
But here's the thing.
spk_0
German's also saying this too.
spk_0
It's not just.
spk_0
That's a little okay.
spk_0
I remember they would post in like 2020.
spk_0
German said it's an all screen device
spk_0
and said it is a mostly glass curved iPhone.
spk_0
Now that's what that is.
spk_0
I love that.
spk_0
Hang on, I'll go back to that article.
spk_0
I love how people have to write about German.
spk_0
MacGerman says, as for what a quote,
spk_0
mostly glass curved iPhone means,
spk_0
German didn't elaborate.
spk_0
Of course not.
spk_0
That sounds incredible.
spk_0
Dude.
spk_0
That sounds like this.
spk_0
Well, then we got to go back to rounded edges.
spk_0
The squared edges don't work anymore for that.
spk_0
I don't think.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Like actually true rounded edges.
spk_0
That looks so cool.
spk_0
It's been glowing from your hand.
spk_0
All right, I can't quit you too.
spk_0
Not that I'm going to quit.
spk_0
But also one drop is not good.
spk_0
Well, I'll be the judge of that.
spk_0
What do you think for that?
spk_0
They'll sell a case that puts the edges back.
spk_0
But I thought about this, right?
spk_0
Because you know how we've seen the rollable or rounded glass.
spk_0
Let me pull up.
spk_0
The Galaxy S6 or S7 Edge was like this.
spk_0
Sam's song.
spk_0
Let's see if this works.
spk_0
This is a weird search.
spk_0
Oh my god, remember these?
spk_0
spk_0
Remember the self-healing LG phone?
spk_0
That should come back.
spk_0
Whatever happened to that.
spk_0
LG just really, they're going to get it.
spk_0
Donator app around the screen.
spk_0
It was the S7 Edge.
spk_0
Look up S7 Edge.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Yeah, something like that counts.
spk_0
Yeah, something like this, right?
spk_0
Where I can see Apple be waiting
spk_0
or to do something like this, like a wrap around time.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That looks cool.
spk_0
I can see it off.
spk_0
I can see it off.
spk_0
Oh my god, having the little icons on the side.
spk_0
As.
spk_0
Do not.
spk_0
That's so stupid.
spk_0
Do not.
spk_0
That would be so cool for audio listeners.
spk_0
It's an old, I think MKVHD thumbnail.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
This is a real, this is a real thing, bro.
spk_0
Oh, is it?
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
Well, Apple is, I hope you didn't clickbait me.
spk_0
Hold on.
spk_0
Let me find it.
spk_0
That looks so cool.
spk_0
Show me the thumbnail.
spk_0
Show it to, oh, whoa.
spk_0
Oh yeah, like this, this is what I'm saying.
spk_0
I feel like Apple could have, whoa.
spk_0
Wait, what is this from?
spk_0
I get it.
spk_0
You know, it's fucked up.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
What's fucked up?
spk_0
I looked at this and I was like, why does Mark has
spk_0
look young in this?
spk_0
Oh, I'm sure, dude, you go back to the first episode
spk_0
of Genius Bar.
spk_0
That was only like four years ago, four something years ago.
spk_0
spk_0
We look.
spk_0
That's not, that's exactly what I'm saying.
spk_0
So different.
spk_0
We, I would say the same thing if I was watching my own video, but damn.
spk_0
That's the only, this is the only bad side effect
spk_0
of documenting your life on the internet.
spk_0
Look at this.
spk_0
So we just have a holy shit.
spk_0
Wait, why is this kind of sick?
spk_0
Why have I, why do you think that's?
spk_0
I'm covering this.
spk_0
17 million views.
spk_0
I mean, you saw the thumbnail, the thumbnail's wild.
spk_0
Especially for five years ago, that looks like a sci-fi toy.
spk_0
You can speed all you want if you show me thumbnails like this, Mark.
spk_0
Yes, that's uh,
spk_0
probably this is a concept phone.
spk_0
Oh, there's the thumbnail.
spk_0
Yeah, there it is.
spk_0
Oh my god.
spk_0
That's so cool.
spk_0
Do you do?
spk_0
Imagine if it, if it acted with the gyroscope on the phone too,
spk_0
the way you're holding it.
spk_0
Do you remember the beer app that the iPhone had like back in the day,
spk_0
where you could drink?
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
I mean, I'm just saying I could see Apple doing something like this
spk_0
for the 20th anniversary.
spk_0
But it's true.
spk_0
It's something in the back.
spk_0
Wow, Xiaomi really fucking kind of killed it.
spk_0
Oh, here's the actual stuff.
spk_0
Awesome, even now.
spk_0
This, this phone is five years old and still looks like the future.
spk_0
Yeah, why, why did you never actually make this?
spk_0
It's probably like impossible to manufacture at scale.
spk_0
It probably, yeah, I probably took 10 billion dollars to make the one device.
spk_0
Damn.
spk_0
All right, I'm switching to Android.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I like that for you.
spk_0
Fantastic.
spk_0
So that's that.
spk_0
Yeah, basically 20th anniversary, get ready.
spk_0
Does this still come up?
spk_0
Do you remember this one?
spk_0
Go, glass.
spk_0
I drop iPhone.
spk_0
Did I just give you Apple Pay someone?
spk_0
No, that's one of my favorite tech songs, or not tech songs,
spk_0
techs notifications.
spk_0
I think it's called Hello.
spk_0
I think it's what it is.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
I was like, oh my god, he's actively just...
spk_0
No.
spk_0
No, it's the...
spk_0
By the way, I recommend everyone.
spk_0
If you have an iPhone, change your default text sound to that.
spk_0
It's, it sounds happier and more pleasant.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Well,
spk_0
this is going to be nuts and I can't wait.
spk_0
Oh, and I can't wait to make that thumbnail.
spk_0
That's going to be my thumbnail.
spk_0
From 2021.
spk_0
What's, oh, who's that from?
spk_0
Tech Flash.
spk_0
Tech Flash.
spk_0
I have no idea who this is or what they do.
spk_0
Glass, I drop iPhone concept.
spk_0
178 views.
spk_0
Oh, is that really like literally what you were looking for?
spk_0
No, I'm looking for something old like
spk_0
iPhone, I drop...
spk_0
Glass, I drop...
spk_0
...six concepts.
spk_0
That would be closer what I want.
spk_0
Yeah, remember this stuff.
spk_0
Oh my god, dude.
spk_0
Do you remember the laser keyboard?
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
Who doesn't remember the laser keyboard, dude?
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
Dude, they, here we go.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I think it's time.
spk_0
I think it's time for two screens.
spk_0
We're just looking at concert images for...
spk_0
Deep.
spk_0
Oh, the kiss.
spk_0
Uh, scroll up.
spk_0
If you will.
spk_0
Upy, upy, upy.
spk_0
All the way upy almost.
spk_0
Almost all the way upy.
spk_0
Almost all.
spk_0
Okay, right there.
spk_0
Down a little bit.
spk_0
Down a little bit more.
spk_0
The see through one.
spk_0
That's such a good idea.
spk_0
We could kind of get, like if they, if they show you what the camera sees
spk_0
on your all-screen iPhone,
spk_0
it would kind of look like that.
spk_0
Maybe that's what Vision Pro is for the whole time.
spk_0
They're trying to get real-time camera to viewfinder,
spk_0
locked in and figured out so they could put it in an iPhone.
spk_0
And then Vision Pro goes away.
spk_0
It's also crazy.
spk_0
Look at those and I want to hear.
spk_0
It's actually happening this year after 15 years.
spk_0
All of the concepts are just apples just running...
spk_0
Yeah, wait.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
These were looking...
spk_0
We used to make fun of these, but no.
spk_0
These were low-key ahead of their time, bro.
spk_0
Do you think that they just ran out of ideas and Tim Cook also sat down at Google
spk_0
was like, iPhone concept and just started like,
spk_0
let's make that and let's make that.
spk_0
Let's do even broader iPhone concept.
spk_0
What the hell is this?
spk_0
This looks like an Apple Hub thumbnail.
spk_0
Not Apple Hub.
spk_0
Who am I talking about?
spk_0
Apple Circle.
spk_0
Apple Circle.
spk_0
Hey, there's the flippy thing.
spk_0
Flippy thing.
spk_0
There's the flippy with the AirPods in the back.
spk_0
You're on it.
spk_0
Nope.
spk_0
One to the left.
spk_0
Right there.
spk_0
Flippy thing.
spk_0
And all four pixels.
spk_0
Damn, so that wasn't even his original idea.
spk_0
He stole that.
spk_0
That's crazy.
spk_0
No, he-
spk_0
No.
spk_0
It will look really cool.
spk_0
I- stop making me excited about this.
spk_0
This is stupid.
spk_0
That's what I do, dude.
spk_0
Oh, look, the fidget spinner iPhone.
spk_0
It's the fact that people actually reported on this and thought it was real.
spk_0
I'm like, bruh.
spk_0
Guys.
spk_0
Oh, from the wrist.
spk_0
What the hell is that?
spk_0
Don't want to buff that.
spk_0
That.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
That's a lot.
spk_0
It's a concept.
spk_0
It's an iPhone vision concept.
spk_0
Oh,
spk_0
this was an iPhone.
spk_0
This was, yeah.
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
Dude, there's still one that I can't find.
spk_0
That's like the OG OG.
spk_0
Okay, that's my render.
spk_0
That's crazy.
spk_0
And it's not very conceptual.
spk_0
It's mostly just correct.
spk_0
That-
spk_0
I don't like that at all.
spk_0
Audio listeners, no, I'm not even going to describe it.
spk_0
You don't even need to know.
spk_0
It's terrifying.
spk_0
It's like a iPhone with spider arms that wraps around your hand.
spk_0
Yeah, no.
spk_0
Real ones know what I'm-
spk_0
Real geniuses know what I'm talking about.
spk_0
Dude.
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
We have so we have fallen from God's grace so far.
spk_0
Oh, the portable iPhone ones.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
All right, that's what we got to look basically.
spk_0
Guys, we just in 10 years, you're going to be watching this episode back and be like,
spk_0
they were ahead of their time.
spk_0
It wasn't just, well, they are ahead of time.
spk_0
I don't know what happened there.
spk_0
They were ahead of their time.
spk_0
What else?
spk_0
There's-
spk_0
There's-
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I think that's like what I'm basically excited for for the next three years.
spk_0
I mean, that-
spk_0
Keep in mind, this is my first time knowing any of that.
spk_0
That's amazing.
spk_0
So now I get to be excited.
spk_0
Hell yeah.
spk_0
You know what's not exciting?
spk_0
Is this how we do it?
spk_0
How do you-
spk_0
I mean, is there-
spk_0
I mean, that'd be the-
spk_0
That'd be the most genius-bar thing to do.
spk_0
Is there a way to do it?
spk_0
Hang on.
spk_0
Hang on.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
One last time.
spk_0
Why would you say one last time?
spk_0
Oh, dude, this is terrible and I hate it.
spk_0
And it's not fun.
spk_0
How do you end good things?
spk_0
There's never a good way.
spk_0
There's never a good way.
spk_0
There's never a good way.
spk_0
But, boy, do you want to say it?
spk_0
Do you want me to say it?
spk_0
Who's going to actually-
spk_0
I mean, I feel like-
spk_0
I feel-
spk_0
spk_0
They're going to think we're joking.
spk_0
spk_0
They're going to think that this is a bit-
spk_0
It's not a bit.
spk_0
And it's not-
spk_0
It's not-
spk_0
Fortunately, it is not.
spk_0
It is not.
spk_0
Our agency has been informed.
spk_0
The sponsors have been informed.
spk_0
It'd be a very sick joke if that's how far we took it.
spk_0
Ladies and gentlemen, this is-
spk_0
Geniuses, I should say.
spk_0
This is the very last episode of Genius Bar.
spk_0
I don't know how many-
spk_0
Four and a half years or so,
spk_0
what an incredible-
spk_0
Incredible journey.
spk_0
So many good times on this show.
spk_0
I feel like a lot of-
spk_0
Because we read the comments and stuff.
spk_0
I feel like a lot of people have noticed sort of the decline of the show.
spk_0
And so other than like, you know,
spk_0
how much attention we give the show and how frequently we show up.
spk_0
Like, behind the scenes, scheduling has been bad.
spk_0
Behind the scenes has been all sorts of issues,
spk_0
especially on my end.
spk_0
And there's really no way.
spk_0
There's no proper way to like,
spk_0
send off a show like this.
spk_0
It's just-
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It's just kind of painful.
spk_0
Like, I don't know how they-
spk_0
How did they end friends?
spk_0
How did they end good TV shows?
spk_0
Usually on a happy ending is generally how you want to end-
spk_0
Which I think-
spk_0
I think this episode was a happy ending to be fair.
spk_0
Well, the top part is-
spk_0
Like, we have so much to look forward to.
spk_0
It's-
spk_0
Apple is more than us and more than this show and-
spk_0
Apple is more than us.
spk_0
Yes, correct.
spk_0
It's not like we left you with Apple intelligence.
spk_0
That's true.
spk_0
That's true.
spk_0
We could promise a whole other year of Genius Bar at a future date.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And that would be like Apple intelligence.
spk_0
We did not complete the work.
spk_0
I feel like with like network TV shows,
spk_0
when they cancel them like a network cancel,
spk_0
they'd say, hey, you're done.
spk_0
And it's harder when it's just-
spk_0
When no one says you're done and you got to say you're done.
spk_0
And this is-
spk_0
This is us saying that.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And hey, um-
spk_0
It's not a decision-
spk_0
It's not a decision that we came to lightly.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
It was something that I thought about for basically this entire year for months.
spk_0
This sucks.
spk_0
I just want to say this-
spk_0
This sucks.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
If you're a listener and you feel like it sucks,
spk_0
it sucks for us too.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And I just want to say that like, yeah, I-
spk_0
I have a podcast I watch every week.
spk_0
And if it was announced that they were done,
spk_0
I would be like really sad.
spk_0
And I just want to say,
spk_0
this definitely feels like an F view to the people that have been with us forever.
spk_0
And I'm sorry.
spk_0
And I appreciate all of you.
spk_0
And generally, this show has changed my life.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
It showed me so much.
spk_0
I've learned a lot about myself
spk_0
through this.
spk_0
And I-
spk_0
You know, it's given me an outlet to talk.
spk_0
It's gonna-
spk_0
It's trust me.
spk_0
When WWE DC happens,
spk_0
and uh-
spk_0
I don't have a show to record that night,
spk_0
it's gonna be tough.
spk_0
It's gonna be tough for me to hold it all in.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But I think I'm at a point in my career
spk_0
and at an age where I-
spk_0
You know, I need to start thinking,
spk_0
what do I want my next five?
spk_0
What do I want my next 10 to look like?
spk_0
And uh-
spk_0
I think it is gonna be a step away from-
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
Until it's, you know, 30, man.
spk_0
But I-
spk_0
I think for me, it's-
spk_0
It's been a decision of-
spk_0
of what do I need to spend my time doing?
spk_0
And, you know-
spk_0
What-
spk_0
What is it?
spk_0
What-
spk_0
What is-
spk_0
What is calling my name?
spk_0
And I think there's been other things calling my names.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
For a while, and-
spk_0
Just so everybody knows,
spk_0
I'm not like quitting this
spk_0
and starting a new podcast next week.
spk_0
Like right now, I have no plans to make another show.
spk_0
Like, I'm not quitting this to do something else.
spk_0
I am-
spk_0
You know, where we're stopping this.
spk_0
For-
spk_0
For a lot of reasons that we're not gonna dive into.
spk_0
But um-
spk_0
Ultimately, we decided this was
spk_0
the best decision for the show.
spk_0
Yeah. Um-
spk_0
And it-
spk_0
It feels like that too.
spk_0
It feels like the best decision.
spk_0
Even though it-
spk_0
It sucks.
spk_0
Like, I'm sitting here listening to you-
spk_0
I-
spk_0
Like, I don't know if you ever envisioned
spk_0
how the show was gonna end, because I definitely didn't.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
And it- it's hard.
spk_0
Like, how do you-
spk_0
This is other than from Page Tech.
spk_0
This is the longest running-
spk_0
IP that I have been a part of.
spk_0
And-
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
This-
spk_0
You know, this is something-
spk_0
We've missed episodes here and there.
spk_0
We've been late here and there.
spk_0
But for the most part, like consistently,
spk_0
This is-
spk_0
We do-
spk_0
We do this every week.
spk_0
Sam and I sit down and do this every week.
spk_0
And-
spk_0
Next week, when Friday comes
spk_0
At noon,
spk_0
and-
spk_0
No one has to sit down and record.
spk_0
I think that's when it's gonna be like,
spk_0
Fuck.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And then that's-
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It's gonna be tough.
spk_0
I mean, crazy moments.
spk_0
Crazy moments over the years.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
A live show.
spk_0
Are it Stubbs?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Merch, you know, the Genius Cloth.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
My ass has been shown on this show too many times.
spk_0
It's right.
spk_0
Like my actual ass.
spk_0
Our shirtless summer beach towel campaign.
spk_0
Our Halloween costumes.
spk_0
Oh.
spk_0
I'm just Sam premiered on-
spk_0
Yeah, I'm just Sam.
spk_0
Oh, really?
spk_0
We're really getting nostalgic here, man.
spk_0
Um.
spk_0
I guess like-
spk_0
I'm not sure how important this is to any of you,
spk_0
but none of this stuff is getting deleted.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
It will stay up on our YouTube channel.
spk_0
And, uh-
spk_0
Of course, the audio feed.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Audio listeners.
spk_0
Wipe the tears from your eyes as you drive in your car right now
spk_0
and know that if you wanted to,
spk_0
you could go to youtube.com slash Genius Bar.
spk_0
If you've been listening through audio this whole time,
spk_0
you can watch it all again.
spk_0
Get it every show again just by just by watching it.
spk_0
And I promise there will-
spk_0
There'll be
spk_0
those some moments in there that uh-
spk_0
That I think you're like even if um-
spk_0
Even if we're talking about the iPhone 12 at the time.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That would be a little tough to sit through.
spk_0
I was being like, is it going to be square edges or rounded this year?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
Well, I-
spk_0
I just want to say thank you to the audience to the geniuses
spk_0
for giving us an hour, two hours, three hours, sometimes,
spk_0
four hours sometimes of your week.
spk_0
Every week.
spk_0
No matter how you consume the show video or audio,
spk_0
thank you to Sam who's been one of my very best friends for so many years
spk_0
and took this journey with me and uh you know
spk_0
it was your idea to do a show together and-
spk_0
Was.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
I-
spk_0
From the very first day you brought it up,
spk_0
I would have never envisioned, you know, this happening.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Hmm.
spk_0
Same.
spk_0
Us, this show lasting as long as it did and being as successful as it was
spk_0
and like actually being a significant part of our
spk_0
lives uh for the- for the next following year.
spk_0
So thank you, thank you to the audience.
spk_0
Um- and thank you to audio boom, our agency who represented us for
spk_0
the entire time.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
From day one.
spk_0
The entire time.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And to all the sponsors that uh that supported this show
spk_0
all the way up to the end, delete me,
spk_0
another extra shout out for you.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
OG.
spk_0
Yeah, dude.
spk_0
They true.
spk_0
They're right.
spk_0
They're thick and thin.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
They were there.
spk_0
Yeah, and I feel the same way.
spk_0
Uh- yeah.
spk_0
I mean, thank you to the audience.
spk_0
Thank you to you.
spk_0
Of course, we're doing the show for- for four years and um-
spk_0
goodbyes are never easy.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
And I- I will definitely miss-
spk_0
I will definitely miss parts of this for sure.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
I'll miss seeing y'all's comments.
spk_0
I'll miss.
spk_0
Gotta give a shout out to Infinite Region.
spk_0
Oh, absolutely.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Our number one.
spk_0
We gotta- we gotta do the clap.
spk_0
He did the timestamps every week for four years.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And a whole so many other familiar faces
spk_0
in the comments every week that show-
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
Absolutely.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Thank you guys for everything.
spk_0
I will always consider the people that show up here
spk_0
to be the most dedicated people in our audience
spk_0
for the people that watch your videos,
spk_0
my videos, and still come back to watch
spk_0
an extra hour or two of us.
spk_0
And some- some people only know us from Genius Bar,
spk_0
which is also very cool.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But if you want us, we're still going to be doing YouTube.
spk_0
I mean, I can't speak for you, but I will be-
spk_0
No, I'll be there.
spk_0
I- I- I do need to pay my bills somehow.
spk_0
So I will be doing YouTube videos.
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I can't keep YouTube and Apple track on YouTube.
spk_0
We'll still be around.
spk_0
And of course, you know, I'll be on on TikTok Instagram.
spk_0
This will probably give me more time to focus on short form.
spk_0
Yeah, a jungle mop.
spk_0
But I- I will be, um-
spk_0
I do have a passion for-
spk_0
for short form content as well.
spk_0
And yeah, um-
spk_0
Um-
spk_0
Thank you to every guest as well.
spk_0
Every guest that ever appeared on the show.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Especially the- the ones that showed up.
spk_0
Many, many multiple times.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
Just a real- so many good memories with the show.
spk_0
And uh- I'm going to miss it.
spk_0
I'm going to miss you.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I just sounded like you were dying.
spk_0
We're not dying.
spk_0
Yeah, we're not dying.
spk_0
That's not what's happening.
spk_0
The- the show is dying.
spk_0
Yeah, the show is dying.
spk_0
That is- that is unfortunately a- a fact we have to accept.
spk_0
Yeah. Um-
spk_0
Not saying I'm not going to show up on podcasts
spk_0
from time to time.
spk_0
Who knows?
spk_0
My- you know-
spk_0
I- I- I- I- my- my show up on geared up or, you know,
spk_0
gadget cast if, you know, I don't know.
spk_0
Gadget cast?
spk_0
You know, who knows where I could be.
spk_0
I'm not saying that we're podcasting.
spk_0
I don't think you'd be down that bad.
spk_0
To show up on-
spk_0
To gadget cast.
spk_0
Oh, well, or, uh-
spk_0
What about our friend- uh- our friend's over at Dark Mode?
spk_0
Yeah, I could- could show up on-
spk_0
Unlew and Noah's podcast.
spk_0
I mean, who knows?
spk_0
Who knows?
spk_0
But, yeah.
spk_0
Regular podcast takes from me.
spk_0
For the time being, we'll be done.
spk_0
I'm not saying I'm never- you know-
spk_0
Who knows a year from now?
spk_0
Maybe I start another Apple Podcast.
spk_0
Yeah, this is not a promise.
spk_0
But-
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
But that's not-
spk_0
That is not an imminent thing.
spk_0
There's no imminent plan.
spk_0
And for now, my focus is content on my YouTube channel.
spk_0
And-
spk_0
I think it's going to allow me to refocus.
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
And, um-
spk_0
Yeah, thank you.
spk_0
Thank you, John.
spk_0
And then, thank you to the audience.
spk_0
We've said that three times.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Guys, how do you do it?
spk_0
Uh-
spk_0
This is it.
spk_0
I-
spk_0
I'm happy we have exciting things happening with Apple.
spk_0
And-
spk_0
For everybody that-
spk_0
Wow, that's very poetic.
spk_0
My AirPods just died.
spk_0
So I can't-
spk_0
Yeah!
spk_0
So you can't hear me.
spk_0
I have to-
spk_0
You can't-
spk_0
I got a-
spk_0
One second.
spk_0
I can't- I can't go out with-
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
Of course that happened.
spk_0
True genius bar fashion.
spk_0
Oh my god.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
He's plugging him back in.
spk_0
Don't worry, everybody.
spk_0
I got a-
spk_0
We already got headphones.
spk_0
The beats.
spk_0
Okay, we're back.
spk_0
You know, I think the-
spk_0
Oh, he can't hear me.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Pluggy, pluggy.
spk_0
Tested-
spk_0
You know, I think-
spk_0
Can you hear me?
spk_0
Yeah, can.
spk_0
I think the most significant
spk_0
consistent thing with Genius Bar is
spk_0
when we started this,
spk_0
you were not-
spk_0
uh-
spk_0
Part of Apple's PR campaigns.
spk_0
And now that we end.
spk_0
You're still not that.
spk_0
In fact, you might be in a worse position now
spk_0
than when you started.
spk_0
One, could I give you-
spk_0
Yeah, do you think-
spk_0
Do you think if I stop a associate with you finally,
spk_0
they'll be-
spk_0
Like, what if I got-
spk_0
What if we quit this?
spk_0
And then-
spk_0
Me!
spk_0
Like W-W-D-C-I get it in-
spk_0
In-Vite.
spk_0
That would be-
spk_0
Other than being associated with me,
spk_0
there's also-
spk_0
You have become way more vocal
