Is that real game They're calling it the Xox series, X twenty five. I said Xbox like four. XoXbox, X twenty five Xbox series Yeaho, what is up, people of the Innet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform podcast. We're your host. I'm Marquze. I'm Andrew. I'm David. And this week was WWDC Week from Apple. So of course, we'll be talking about that quite a bit, new software, new AI lot a lot of thoughts. Oakes, old Siri, but maybe some other stuff too. we've got potentially couple of nostalgic video game stories. You know how I feel about nostalgia Y ye. It seem we're gonna knock come up guys pick it and choose it. It's always going come up. By the way, if you're a new listener, just try toar what happened at WW, hit that subscribe button. We talk about all the newest tech stories every week. So of course, whenateever the next big show is, we'll be talking about that too. Get subscribed so you hear that AAP. when it drops Audio versionions like five in the morning or something four in the morning. You get to listenute no matter what time you commute. Even ASApper. yeah. So But first Did D even test this Anbody have a didig D got one on. Oh, yeah, this was my turn. Okay, so nice. My did they even test this is I think it is a universal experience if you have the services that I have. Which is a weird way to phrase this. Yeah fourteen people. On the Apple TV If you have YouTube downloaded and you also have YouTube TV downloaded, I am one of those people that like to put related things together. So I will sit there and rearrange my icons, rearrange the apps, everything to put them together. So I was like, oh, YouTube and YouTube TV, I'll put them together. They have like the exact same icon And it is so confusing. And every time I'm trying to pick one, I accidentally pick the other one. The only difference is that one is in light mode, one is in dark mode. and the YouTube TV one says TV at the end of it. But like besides that, they look exactly the same. So there's been so many times that like just my fiance will sit down and try to go to YouTube and she'll accidentally pick YouTube TV. orr I will try to pick YouTube TV and I'll just like not really thinking about it, pick YouTube And I'm like, they need slightly different icons Or hear me out. you just go to YouTube and they have a tab that says TV and I kind of assumed that's what it was. I that's only on could be wrong I think that's other like Roku or something like that because Roku and Dum didn't have a deal, somethingomet like that. I forget Wh don' they just I' tell you onpple TV there is an app for it. I have the iPad, YouTube app and the YouTube TV app and I regularly they are almost exactly the same icon as well, just with a little TV at the bottom. So I also sometimes hit the wrong one. Oh yeah, this might just be just an app thing, not even just for Apple TV. They might just have two similar apps . You know what they should change it to? Remember when the old IOS original YouTube app was TV Yeah. That's what the YouTube TV should be the old Iic icon. Yeah. Just throw it all the way back. Nostalia. That be sick. Nostalgia Nostalgia sells. is so last decade. Yeah. Speaking of did they even test this, by the way, one of our readers did go and create a did they even test this subreit So if people want to submit their own, did they even test this, we will be looking through those. We don't moderate it, but we will be looking at it. Are you saying we'll test them Um we may, we may because sometimes the things that we bring we didn't even test, to be honest. That's like last week's title for the podcast. Yeah, like last week's title. We know you know. Yeah, if you know you know, draft. Okay, that was great. Notification point Big deal. Tim Coke's last good morning I dumped up this year Good morning Thank you for joining us today at Apple Park. This is interesting It was interesting. There was a lot of I was just telling you guys off camera, but I feel like there were a bunch of little things that were slightly different about this keynote that they've technically never done before. Yeah.ittle It might not make much of a difference at all, but like did you notice that there were people for the first time I've ever seen this walking in the background behind the presenter in Apple Park. Like like Craig would walk out of the woods and they' in the blurry in the background, there'd be like two people walking with binders just like having a conversation There's a few instances where people were in the background. It was like not enough people to think the campus was because like normally it feels Normally it's totally sterile, right. Nobody' in the background. But there were still so few that it still felt closed down and like possibible there was one where They were by the what's that like reflecting pool? It's some big shallow pool.'t where that. In the background, there was two people talking to each other, but one was wearing all black and just blended in. So it just look like one person talking to themsel for a little bit, but yet I'm I can't tell if they were be I noticed that. I felt like that' it's definitely it's such a big production. It has to be an intentional choice of like, oh, we're shooting it on campus. We might as well make it feel more like the campus is alive. But that was a small thing I noticed. A lot of the production seemed to be a little less high quality than usual. Well that'sactly okay, that's the another thing I was going to say. Did you notice a lot of the shots felt a little bit more handheld. you were freaking out. Weed first fifteen minutes of it because we're all like, is this fake can't help? Is this real? Some of it was good, some of it was really bad. Yeah. Yeah, dist again, definitely it's definitely an intentional decision of like, let's make it feel a little more alive, a little more dynamic. Those are such big productions that every little thing is being considered and someone decided that they would do a little bit less big sweepy slow moo and a little bit more Wobbly hand held. But the thing I will say is that they they didn't even do any drone shots this year. When they announced the new MacOS version, which we will get to, they didn't have any shots of them in front of that location. Like they didn't do any crazy defation stuff this year. Yeah, which made me think that maybe they did rush the video production likeike they only did a few weeks ago, maybe. Here's Here's one more thing I noticed. that I've never seen before Did you notice that they didn't diffuse the light as much and it was clearly broad daylight instead of Yes, super super su? Yes it's a small thing. Well this is what I'm saying It felt less produced, which it just felt a little different. I don't know if it felt to me less produced. It just felt a little bit more natural, a little less My theory is because they were announcing all the AI stuff and they wanted to feel human. But before it's sterile and robotic and beautiful, sweeping we're so cool now it's like, they're gonna to be talking about AI for an hour. Let's make it handheld. Let's people in the background. That tracks with all the transitions. The transitions were very like low frame rate like match cuts and stuff. It looked very Human, I guess is a way to say, Which I liked reallyally liked that. Then they ruined it all with that rap at the end. That was That was hor too That was incredible. That was such a hard dis. It was amazing. No way, bro' l Bro. they had the last. It was just a corporate appeasement rap. They were like the gap and Walmart come on. That's one way of looking at it. What do you mean? It was also All the developers were there and they were like, please shout out my app. And they did and they went l. Yeah, But there were so many corporate apps though. Yeah, but the developers of those app look so people. That was the equivalent of when a YouTuber puts all of the Patreon members at the end of their YouTube video That was just them shouting them out at the end Yeah Dub dub. Yeah. And you know, I can't attribute any of this unique stuff to being like Tim's last dub dub or like the hand offff to Tnis or whatever, but you know, those were things that we noticed and we always seem to think of Apple's keynotes as like the staple of like what you expect a tech keynote to be and what everyone seems to be chasing. So it's interesting to notice that stuff. I don't know if either of you guys went to it But I saw like four hundred selfies with John Turners. was So I was there. Yeah. they brought So John Turnterers was not in the event at all, which was interesting. He was on the video. It was kind of surprising. Yeah. But yeah, there was a little there's like a little media mixer every year that Traditionally has only been for international people, and then now they finally added US people to it Um, I went to just mingle with my friends like the Verge team and stuff And yeah, they brought John Turnis in and he basically just did like a power walk through there like slowly just boom, boom, boom, boom And he was there for like maybe half an hour, and then he ped out And I think that they just wanted to bring him in to be like, He's human, he's accessible. he's cool. It made me think he was gonna to be. in the event somewhere. Yeah, and he was not in it at all. Yeah, I mean, Tim Cook's still the CEO. for you know? Craig' still a headad of software for now. So for now, this is a normal WWDC cast of characters. We never see John at WubW ' because he's the hardware. kind of thought there would be like hand offff or like an ode somewhere in the end like a The Oe so they happen in person. Yeah. so I guess in person, what they'll typically do, I've said this in videos before, but they try out the CEO and in Craig for like five minutes of speech before the live stream starts. So people who are there will get that live stream. So' Craig, healks out and he goes, this is, you know, big round of applause, Tim's last dubub, fifteen years of leadership. It's all. Tim comes out, he gives about twenty five, thank you. Yeah. Be everyone's like standing, you know, everyone there is super loves Apple. so they're all just standing applauding. than you, thank you, thank you. thank you. Thankk you. Then it gives a five minutes of this has been the honor of my life and enjoy the show. Yeah. So that was the ode, I think. Why can't they just show that? I was surprised at that too. I've been always wondering a minute best time to do it.. If I was Tim Cook, I would not want that shown in that way, because I don't think he wants it to be about himself. He wants it to be about Apple does and what it means to developers in the world and all this stuff like take the full of him. There was a tiny, tiny bit at the very end, didnidn't he say like the last fifteen years has been great basically. Yeah That That was kind of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't actually, I don't think he actually said goodbye in that. Like he doesn't mention. he just said like, this has been life changing. Yeahah, it's been great. Well he still that until September so but it also has less eents. Is really headlining that But he'll still be CEO. Oh, he takes over on septtember first, Dember first. we won' to be CEO anyore. Yeah. He'll be in the audience just like a fan. I making a Ferrari by then. I really. Yeah, okay. well I did tweet a video of six years ago of Tim Cook saying Thankk you twenty five times. So if you actually wantan to see it, even though it wasn't in the live stream I can head on my Twitter We gott to get into the actual announcements. Yeah We're breaking this out. The way that we're going to handle this is because it was a crazy there's this is one of the years where there's just like eight thousand little updates. So the way that we're going to break this down is that we're going to go through the platform changes, which is the Apple Watch, the iPhone, the iPad, the Mac All that kind of stuff. And then we are going to go into the Parental safety and parental safety stuff. and then we're gonna to do Siri separately because this year is a big Siri year. It's the The Siri Part two electric Booguloo I want to say, I was close. I said they would call it Siri OS. They called it SiriAI. They called it Siri AIself, which is very. ure Very close. Total letter different. but Physically very close.rue. Yeah. so we're gonna handle Siri completely separately, but I think first we should just go through the individual platform updates. and I specifically stripped the Siri stuff from the platform updates because we're gonna handle it all together. J right Yeah, a lot of people have been describing this as like this snow leopard of you know, it's a bunch of small incremental combing through, attention to detail, performance increases, like no big design overhaul, no huge features really needed just fix the buggy crap. Yeah, you know, L you've been you've been building all this wonderful new stuff but it's been kind of a show behind the scenes and like fix that part, you know? So now much more efficiencies, much more, you heard things like faster app opening, faster file loading, faster indexing and things like that. My favorite part about that is did you notice when Uh that She came up and she's talking about all these things that are faster and has this big list that keeps scrolling. And I was like, oh man, it's an alphabetical order and there's still an F. Then I realized Every single time it scrolls, it's just because it starts with fast, fast.. It's like a list of like fifty things that just all start faster. And I welcome that. That's great. I want everything to feel super snappy. eighty percent faster air drops is like, all right All right, up to Up to. Maybe once in a while it'll be eighty percent faster. Oh ye, by the way, we should mioned Rufus is here. Oh yeah. Hey, hey, Alice is on vacation. Yeah, look at me. He's Eice now So I'm happy to see that stuff. Yeah. So so if you guys know what Snow Leopard is, I was looking more into Sn. It's an old MacOS version that was the follow up to OSX Leopard. Where's Snow Leopard in California U It's in Lake Tahoe. So anyway, there the tagline for Snow Leopard, I just wanted to call this out was zero new in zero new features It was very funny. Hell yeah. Yeah. I just think embrace it. That's such a thing you already know and love Steve Jobs thing. Just works better. Yes. Yeah. trrust me. They shouted out things like improved CISPper icons, matching corner radi That actually complain about That was the time which that's huge.. That's why I was specifically looking to I haven't downloaded the beta yet, but you know that thing where you go to airdrop someone and then you select all the like people to airdrop to and then you're about to click one and then it just shifts them all over. And the one you click is not the one you wanted and then it shifts them all over again. wor. This better be one of those improvements. They better fix that. It's supposed to fix. betterter fix that All right, so number one, when you first boot up your new iPhone with iOS twenty seven or your Mac There are now liquid glass sliders So you can decide whether or not you want it to be fully glassy Little in the middle or very opaque. Did you just try it or I did Am I correct in saying they said for people who want it more transparent, there's ultra clear. So that slider now, it's not more than before. 's like' this before So the middle is Nw tween So like if I were to compare today's liquid glass with the middle of the slider for tomorrow's liquid glass, I would say it's between the original what they shipped at the very beginning. That was like really transl with what they shipped later where they made it a little more opaque. It's like in the middle of those. Okay. Yeah. I I love this Yeah, this is this is the thing. I feel like people mocked this up on Twitter for like months after it came out like give us a slider we just want to adjust it. And then the fact that you can make it more clear or less clear is hilarious. Yeah There are people on both sides of the fence. There it is. They did say For some users who would like liquid glass to be even more clear than others pre what ited appearance. Yeah. I remember they sort of so it's free it's like alpha. However, however, there is a universal change that makes it more readable. and that is that they basically sharpened the edges of all of the liquid glass interfaces So anything that has the translucency on it, got like it's got sharpening around the perimeter, which just makes it easier to like read things. It makes it easier to like see the difference between the liquid glass interface and what's below it Better across the board by far So That is good. goodood. Yeah. As you mentioned, Marquez, apppps launch up to thirty percent faster This is especially obvious on older iPhones because this OS does go back to the iPhone eleven, which is really cool. Can I just say Again making older iPhones much faster. without adding any new features is a great software update. Yeah. The iPhone eleven is how old now? I mean, that's an older that's Seven years old, that phone? Yeah, that's a long time ago to be getting a software update to make it dramatically faster. Yeah Thumbs up for that. I think thumbs up. The CPU scheduler We'll go all the way back to iPhone eleven as well. And they said that was one where it was like, this is what it does, but it will probably be helping those phones way more than the newer phone. Yes. Yes. We're also getting automatic wiFi to cellular switching to be much faster, which is good. They basically mentioned that you know you're in your house, you walk into your garage, but then your phone doesn't w to connect to your cellular, but it's also on too weak of a WFi connection. so you can't actually start your music fast enough Now when it detects that you're on a very weak wi connection, it' just instantly switch to cellular.. That happens at a j here every single time all the time. I have to just manually swap to data instead? Yes. Okay Gen Moji got overhauled. Okay, we can skip. spec I specifically flh this out, baby because I love it. These are some good things and then Gen Moji has like six Gen Moji. Okay, but it's a completely different interface now. Like they totally changed the Gen Moji interface. Okay. And and Gen Moji used to make your phone like catch on fire and now it doesn't at all Does it still send as a sticker U Well, that's the only thing that differentere. It's not a sticker. Well, you can create a sticker, but a g emoji is it's like sort of in between a sticker and an emoji. It ss as revolutionary. It's like it's a scalable image vector file It sounds as a sticker. Sut up Madam. tryrying to make it sound useful as a scalable image your file is hilarious. Okay. well, before you had to like select a person to use as a base and then you had to like mix it within aote. and it was just weird and not good. I still loved it, but it was still not good. Now, you can use any image and it will basically like make like a gen emoji of that image, which is crazy. I love all these too. like emoji kitchen in Gboard. Yeah Freicaking awesome. But like they send as images and it kind of ruins the like comedic effect when a giant this is not No Well. I mean, I could try to send this to you Adam. Do you want to see what happens? Yeah I'm going tond you Ad I'm not on IOS by the way. I know That's is why I' definitely coming in as is JPEg y. Okay we're gonna make JPG. Okay, this is the new this is a new Goji UI, right? It's way better. You can start recording and I'll screen record. Thank you. It looks very like AI prompt. You look like an AI prompt? Well, I probably will look cooler than a genenoji. It emoji. I describe an emoji. Let's say I'm gonna make this this is me as Link from Zelda And let's say shadly Copyright is just thing. Yeah I'm not even describing anything. I'm just Developing a gen modote. It is. It's got a little bubble around it. Look at this Pstty bad. Actually, I don't think that's that bad. Except for the fact that so it actually did use me f like stick noavi and everything. The biggest issue is it looks like it's really poorly cut out from a background, even though it's a generated emoji. Why does it have like So it looks that way at first, but when you actually send it, it doesn't go through like that. Okay Describe a change though. What would you like to change about this? Do You want to get rid of the crappy white app. You can mix it with a real emoji But mix him with the crying laughing? just say beaver? Beer. There is a Oh, let's do crying laughing and beer Wait is there a bearing? It was right before it. I know that might be cheers. Here there' a cheers. Okay, Let's see what happens Boom, baby I'm so listeners. This is Okay. interactive There's a little liquid glass thing that goes around. Oh, you can't. All right, no beer. Anyway, Okay That's fine. we'll end it there. There's I don't wantanna All I gotta say is I love emo. Genoj' is overhaul. I know a of guys are waiting for. David really just sold Gen emoji for every. I mean, way improve performance, like multi element designs, interactive editing, it's pretty cool Speaking of that whole image generating model, Image Playground got revamped with photorealistic generation and new editing tools I'm pretty sure this is sort of using the same stuff as like Nano Banana, you know? Yeah. It's not directly Nano Banana because none of this is directly Gemini. S. That's what they say. Sop generenator just got way more. Yeah, slap genererator actually did Yeah, you wrote slop like fourteen times. Oh yeahisted. It'll also suggest slop wallpapers for you, which is fun and not fun. Slop papers. Look under your seat It's more slop. It's more slop. Okay. Okay, you get slop you get slop. Okay, we have new photo editing tools within the Photos app. Okay, these are interesting. These are actually interesting and I got to like talk to them about how they worked and it's Really interesting. It uses a lot of Vision Pro technology actually. So the Vision Pro was not for nothing Okay, so there's three new photo editing tools. Yes. The first one well is not new, but it's improved. Cleanup. You've probably heard of cleanup. impro. cop the item in the front or the background and it deletes it. We've seen a lot of comparisons of people like comparing it to like a Samsung phone where the Samsung phone reconstructs your face and the Apple one doesn't do it well. Yeah. Seems like this one's much better. So cleanup is better The second one is extend So if you have a shot that you want to add to the side or top of, you know you wish you were standing further away or you don't have anltrawide because you have aniPhoner. you want to get more of the background. You can extend an image up to twenty five percent on any edge And it'll generate more of what it thinks the rest of the photo would look like Now I think you can then just take that and extend it again And then just take that and extend it again. So the twenty five percent limit is for each pass But eventually it's going It worse It's like a game of telephone with the edges of Yeah pointing. Yeah The examples they showed us were like a person in the center of the frame perfectly and it's just like background and you just add more background. Yeah. It's funny because I feel like the most useful that would be is when you are not centered and maybe you want to upload to something like Instagram, which is square and you're like Yeah, I just want to not have to crop in order to center myself, but just add some stuff that. No one on Instagram cares about the left side of the frame is fifteen percent. I have tried this a few times and we have to give a disclaimer that this is all beta software, legally. But I took a photo of VSong for the Verge and her arm was slightly cut off here and she was sitting on a chair and her sweater was like hanging off the back of the chair. and part of the sweater was cut off and arm was cut off. So I extended it out. It like added arm pixels And it looked very, very realistic. And the part of the chair that it added It also had her sweater draping along the back of the chair. It looked very, very realistic. Ses I've seen I mean, the examples look good. I think I'm going to try it with the knot. I mean, it'll be best with just pattern backgrounds. so it just makes more pattern. but I'm going to try it with all the other things like arms and legs and. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Extending images in like Photoshop or whatever is always either like Holy cow, that was incredible. and I did do no work or What on earth are you trying to add to this a third arm? Yeah. you can use this to make yourself look taller Probably Like whos leg lengthening surgery? Yeah. It depends on how what it decides to legs. Yeah, yeah. 'ause you can't tell it directly what to do in this version. But I guess if if you're wearing shorts and it like cuts off at the shins, will it just keep adding shins longer and longer down Yeah. I think it'll probably At some point it has to decide there's feet. Yeah, if I just keep extending it I wan to try this. It's going to drawg until it draw it's to figure out which shoes it want to add So that's yeah, that is extend fun for changing asspect ratios. Lastly, there is this rotating feature, which is the reframe? Spatial reframe. Yeah, spatial reframe. Okay, spatial reframe is really trippy. So the idea is you took a photo where you actually want to change The place you took the photo from in three D space. You want to rotate over a little bit or up or down a little bit And it will use generative fill and, like you said, the spatial reconstruction. because when you looked at a photo and turnurned it three D with the Vision Proros teech. It was a pretty convincing like three D Yeah reconstruction. So it's generating pixels in between to try to adjust your perspective. Yeah I I would love to test this a lot. I really don't know how good this could possibly be. pretty good. It's really impressive when you're just moving around in the preview and it looks like you're literally warping and like if someone was sitting in a photo and like looking to the side of the camera and then you just move it over so that you're in their eyeeline, suddenly you're m eye contact in a photo where they weren't making eye contact. tririppy. Yeah, but it'll do it. and then it'll reconstruct the background, reconstruct the angles of the face, et cetera. Yeah. And I don't know, should be interesting. The way the Vision Pro does it and the way theiPhones now do it is they do gaouusian splatting, which is basically they create, they recreate a three D scene using gausian splats And then it uses that sort of three D model to do generative fill on the areas.. It's really realistic. It's quite realistic It feels like one of those things that like, You know, you see it and you want to test it and you test the extreme of it and you're going find all of the issues with it. Yeah. But when I think of it, I think of like, when I've taken a photo of like a corner of a building and I was like one degree off you know, like It should probably be ultra minor like adjustments where you're just like I was just like This little tiny angle off of the thing I was trying to frame in with this and like a little tiny tweak probably It's almost you're filling it in that. Which to be fair, like there's in Lightroom and Photoshop, there's tools where you can just auto align and it'll spatially align things anyway. Yeah. so you don't It's just not as pretty to like sit and drag it with your hand and watch it turn someone's head. just crazy. They did mention when I first saw this, I thought this was just going to be photos like shot with the latest couple of iPhones because you have more depth information, but they said it's any photo from any camera. I don't know if it means it better from iPhones or if it's just the same quality for. told me that they trained most of the image model that does the reconstruction on iPhone photos, but they have other photos that they've also trained it on. I tried this with a photo I took on my X one hundred and it was a better result than a photo I tried on an iPhone. Interesting.eresting might have just been because a high resolutionro probablyably was a high resolution. Probably was a little sharper. That might have something to do with it. Yeah. But they so you can like you can use one finger to sort of like move kind of pivot around the object, but if you use two fingers, you can physically move the camera up and down. It so strange. which is very strange. And then again, you can only go a certain amount, but then you can save and then do it again. Go further. and go further. And I just feel like I want to take like a picture of someone like blowing out candles and then just go to the back of their head. Yeah see all the people in front of them. like thousand upload project on. Yeah Yeah. Damn wait Wow, That was a good idea. It's good to short. Maybe it's just keep rotating. Yeah. Just see what it reconstructs on other side. Can we three hundred sixty a person? Whoa. Okay, they we werere doing that I the legs also. I think the leg thing is lred Definitely would do that with the legs I think the legs will beya add of nowhere. So they changed the camera UI yet again. They now have three little settings at the top. so you can change the format, you can turn flash on and off, and you can turn live photos on and off And then now they used to have the extra options in the top right. Now it's just more accessible near the shutter button which is interesting. And now and we'll get to this later, there's now a Siri mode So this is basically for visual intelligence because before You had to use camera control to access visual intelligence. Y. Now you can just use the Si mode within the camera app itself And you can still use camer control and can still use camer contro to access that. Yeah. And the UI is way better than the the last UI for camera intell for visual intelligence was like It was like one button and a little screen. Yeah, yeah. It was with your photo. Last yeah, very not well thought out Now Wallet is adding a create a pass feature so you can scan physical passes in the real world and create digital versions of them to keep in your Apple wallet. If I believe if they have like NFC capability, you can also scan it and it'll become a digital NFC path, which cool. That's nice There's also the menu thing or the receipt thing Yes. So if you have a recet, you can take a picture of it with a Siri camera and then it will like itemize it and break it all out. and then you can split the bill and then charge everyone with Apple Cash or something. You have to use AppleCash. I did try this last night and it is actually a very cool UI because it it like breaks down each individual item and it's like, who got this item? Who got this item? This is the exact price And then you put in the percentage of the tip that you put in and it splits it between everybody. It's a very good UI. It is really cool to see that demo and use it every once in a while, but I don't remember the last time I actually did something like that. I do think this is a tech demo for.. People never use it. They always just take a picture and thenmo each other, but for the tech demo, it's like, oh, that's cool that that worked. It's cool. yeah. And I guess a more complicated split check of a bunch of people getting all sorts of different levels. everyone has Apple cash That's the problem. Yeah. Apple cash is easy to connect to your bank account, but not a lot of people use it. Well, but doesn't it also split it and just tell you the numbers and then you don't have to pay through it. You can tell everybody is how much it actually is. O. This is something I wanted to do in my recap video, but I didn't have enough time to write it all in, but I think it would have been really clever. I wanted to do a Sherlock counter And Oh yeah. That is definitely an app in the app store is like like even split wise, I'm sure would have had something like this where you just take a picture of the receipt and it just breaks it up and tells you how to pay one hundred percent. Sherlocked. There you go, rightight there. Here counter one Here's a one. I have another one for you where all of them are probably wrong Taking pictures to calorie track items. Didn't they throw that in here toobe? It doesn't, it's not gonna work. It doesn You can't tell what people are They're gonna try. What's on this food? They're gonna try Yeah It's be It's just never going to work. It's never going to be accurate. Yeah. ye. The reason it won't be accurate is because you just don't know how much oil that that oil It's mostly about the oil honestly. A lot of times, but like it could be a handful of almonds. like this could be anywhere from F to like And like who knows? Yeah. Why did you make an od example? You made alleonds? I don't know. What about It's never gonna work. Or a clutter a burrito, a clutter. could we talked about last time. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, big change. passwords can now automatically fix themselves if they have comppromised or weak credential. This is This is crazy. Yeah. This to me was the biggest new feature. It's like aentic in a way. This is the most agentic new feature as well. One of them. Yeah. So the way it works is the passwords app Which for years it's already been telling you, hey, your passwords are weak, your password are compromisiseed. If you have the same password more than one site, it'll tell you there's a weak password. So all of these have always been flagged before, but people don't often do anything about it This new passwords app will, if you decide to give it permission to, it will agentically go in to these websites one by one, log in, and change your password to a more secure password that it then saves and remembers so that it can log you in in the future. Yeah. So it's a It's so polarizing because I posted about this. It's a good thing because it makes all of your passwords more secure, makes them like thirty characters long and alphoneumeric and all this fun stuff But it also means it has to identically go do that and you are now locked in. Not locked in, but much more likely to just keep using the password. Is there any way to export that? Yes, yeah, you can export that. So you can go through and export it and then save it to you know seven What is it? One password? I use that, but like It's very clever what they've done with that. and work Sherlock also could be a Sherlock as well. I mean, it's not fully I don't know if any other app has done that exact feature where they will agentically go in and change that. but just as far as An agent going and acting on your behalf. I think this also requires like that we'll get to the new series stuff later, but it requires the personal context of your email because most of these websites, when you change the password will send you a one time code. And then so it needs to know what that one time code is so they can go back to the website, put the code in and Unless it's met AI, then you just tell the AI, no, I don't have access to that email in it resets the password. Well, I'm thinking because like Megaphone makes us change our password every six months and I've forgotten it every single time. But like that's a you have to do a capsuka every time it So would this be able to go through That feels like an immediate I mean, all okay, every single one of the demos is good if it works. but I have so many questions about what happens if it doesn't work And that is a good example of like, what happens if there is a capt part just decides The UI do this one when you go do. They showed a little UI of like showing all of your passwords and you select the ones that are compromised or weak and you say change these for me. And over time it'll like light up green if it's changed it successfully. So maybe it'll just show the ones that it hasn't been able to change successfully. Yeah. I know that Google has like eight times introduced the feature where it can automatically unsubscribe from emails for you xactly. Exactly, because half the time every time it doesn't work I specifically tested this like a week ago because I was like, okay, I'm looking at this exact email that I got from this company. Yeah. I'm clicking unsubscribe and if it shows up again, I'm gonna take note and it did. Do you know it's usually because those places then in their unsubscribbe list are like, well, you can unsubscribe from sales or reminders or this And so like it's probably picking one Name 'em, nameame and shame, stickly furniture. Ms. H? Yeah, I've done the unsubscribe button in Gmail probably every other day for like the last two weeks and I'm still getting emails from Well. I had a few years ago, I had an idea to do a bonus episode of doeses the unsubscribe button even work? And basically the answer was very boring because I spoke with the superhuman CEO, which now got purchased by Gammy which changes nes to superuman also make it care. Yeah Sher lucks later in episode ye. Yeah. But he was telling me that basically because of laws and stuff in different parts of the world, it are down there are laws. It comes down to company that is running it to just Do it correctly? Yeah. So it's like not a PR. Yeah, like it's not a fun answer. It's just like, yeah, they just have to go do it or have something in place to do it. you know? I guarantee you that my local like my favorite restaurant sends me like twenty emails a week and I keep hitting unsubscribe and they don't do it. And I wantna be mad at them, but they are my favorite restaurant. it's difficult. I have a snammil version of this and I'm way off topic, but I have this an this clean energy company that like sends me mail, sends me The same please switch to this clean energy source piece of physical mail Every couple weeks, Sam And I have solar on my house, like I don't need to do this. L please stop asking. And I've tried to get off this list. I've called them. I've sent mail, I've sent emails, I've tried. And I think the last time I tried, they're like, oh, it could take six to eight weeks to get you off the list. It's been months. I'm still on the list. I got one today It's Really annoying. rightight now. That's just like clean energy, something something. I'll find the name because it Clean Eergy Corporation I still get paper pay stub. Oh yeah. Every time get paid here. We got one today. It's on my desk right now. Yeah. I have tried for a year Let'sust stop this. down. Clean choice energy. named and shamed.. I got one today. That's like with Verz, I have FiOos. and when you sign up, they start sending you paper mail and then you can say, I don't want to receive paper mail and then you receive a paper mail saying, thanks for unsubscribing for my. This is the last one, att least so many companies do that. They say that. And then they send you a bunch of brochures anyway I try and say like, if your crap ends up in my mailbox, I'm never N using it ever. It's such a waste. Yeah. ye. All right. backack to Apple. Yeah Back to Apple. anyyway. Okay, Apple Maps got Gauss and splatting in Apple Maps. It looks a little better in their demo. Higher quality. c looks a little. if they keep saying Gausg and splatting, Isn't this just generative? No. It say you said that? Well no, yeah, it's can generate aaussian splash Well you can't well, not really. You have to take photos from a bunch of angles and they generate it. Yeah. ye. Well, the Gaussian Spllat is just like you could train tle on a bunch of Gausian splats and you could generate them. So actually they're doing some of. Yeah, but they're using mostly like satellite data and like fly overver data and For maps ye. For maps. Yeah. yeah So looks a little bit better. h, they have paramenopause and menopause tracking, which I know a lot about added to Apple Health New CarPay features including video apps and Carplay now, which I think got added to Android auto pretty recently. Y They're called the new Android Auto YouTube Yeah, YouTube. Is this still called Android auto or do they change it to? It's still Android Auto, not for long. for Nroid. Yeah. It's gonna to be Goole dririve soon. I should. You can now share one phone number between two iPhones One phone between two and they're both getting data and voice and everything. I don't know about that. They said then the carrier has to support it though Why would you wan to do this? vuse? I don't know. I could see doing the opposite putting two different So your open clw can have its own phone Well, you can do two different phone numers. Yeah. That's just huge' very wouldd you say? So you your open call can have its own phone callall people Or take calls for you. Geez. My agent's in the corner. I don't know, someone made a joke that so you can have your iPhone air for the weekend and your iPhone proro for the weekday Marquet Marquet does switch the watches are? hold Hold on. Wait a minute. It's actually not'sir. I don't know.. So you can party in the back. Well,'m going if I'm going to DubWub, I need the Pro Max and then when I go back to regular that's what I'm saying. I mean, I would love that ' I love my air. I might Google that later Yeah Okay They added independent alarms for independent volume for basically every volume finally being on my phone. This is another thing. There's another thing. like when you ask iPhone users like what's the biggest annoyance with the iPhone Almost at the top of everyone's list is I just miss alarms sometimes because my alarm volume was zero because the last thing I watched, I turn the volume down. L it just doesn't work all the time. When you wrote this I thought you meant like Individual alarms can have different You just mean that there's like a separate volume slider for alarms, timers and all that the thing Android' ad for a decade.. I thought this was even further. like I want this timer, I have said to be this volume, but this timer to be. There's always been a separate volume for like media and like alarm volume, but alarm volume encompassed alarms, timers, and like every other little small thing Yeah, whichich is insane. which is and they finally went and combed through the little things and I'm glad that this was big enough to make it through that comb. Yes. Big deal, big deal, big deal. this one's really fun Shortcuts, you can now just describe the shortcut you want in natural language and it'll make it for you Good AI, which is very cool U good I saw a bunch of demos of this. If you're a shortcuts fiend, this is going to be cool for you. And it just builds it in the shortcuts editor so you can edit it after the fact. So it builds it all, you can go in the editor and like change stuff if you want. Yeah. And it'll sync to your Mac and you can also share the shortcut with other people Pankle. Overhaul Dictation, supposedly powered by Gemini powered dictation So that should correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization. Basically, the dictation on l one should be way better. Is that Right now? is that in Iowa? That's twenty seven. Yes. It doesn't It doesn't feel any better. It's only better on the phones with twelve gigs of RAM So the most advanced improved on device models are only on iPhone air and iPhone seenty. But is dictation in the advanced model? And dictation and one other thing are the I was told the only two things that are Like youew in that like that super new advanced best on device model. Wow So if you don't have better dictation, it may be because that's one of the things that didn't make it If you don't have twel gigs around Range. Are you on not one of those two phones Now I have a seventy proro So it should be better. That's whereir. That's not should be. It's not much better. No. Yeah I can't tell. I notough yet but I was too Not super Yeah, this is a kind of random one. You can now have subscription bundles in the app store. So if you're a developer and you sell multiple apps, you can do a subscription bundle that comes with a bunch of your apps. You can also partner, do a little partnership with another developer and offer your app plus another developers's app for a bundle price collab. It is a bundle price. Its collab. It's a collab. Yeah. It's a collab s Yeah, it's kind of cool Um Yeah a bundle of all the apps that are about to get shherlocked from Iirusice. Please keep us alive Bundle. You can now create calendar events with Natural language. so you could just go into your calendar and say Lunch at Supernica with James at three PM. and it'll add all the little details. Sherlock counter is now two That's specifically fantastic how. O. That's like one of the things a lot of these new calendar apps primary feature is that you can add things with natural language at a repeating event and it just does it for you. There it is Sherlock counter number two Find My uppdate they should have added a long ass time ago, and I don't know how they didn't. You can now so they redesigned the findind My UI a little bit. that's fine. But the big thing is it used to be that you could only share your live location for one hour until the end of the day or indefinitely. You can now set custom amounts of time to share your location. Wow, That'sice my one week vacation. It is crazy that it took that long cool U You can now say save any video frame as a photo. So if you stop in any video, you can just hit export as photo. That's something Android has had forever So it's not mazing. But it's nice, something That's nice. Shared albums in Apple Photos now support full resolution photos. I did not even realize they didn't before. And Android and Windows users can also contribute photos now. Could they really not before? Apparently not. So funy. just view it. Yeah. I love shared albums. ever since kids and having like nieces and nephews now, every single One of my nieces or nephews or children has a shared album with all the grandparents, all the uncles I wonder who's gonna adopt this because same thing in my family, but we all use Google photos. even though Google photos It's like yeah. Google photos is a default. So I guess now they have this, which is nice, but yeah, but you know, I don't know. Yeah You can now also set photo albums to expire after a certain period of time I wish you could just do this with group jets because I don't want to be in another group chat for indefinitely expire, namely expire. Yeah. Well, every time I make a temporary group chat, I name it going to destroy after event temporary ice And then the three people. Do you destroy on your phone? does it destroy everyone's phone? No, right? Probably not you just leave group chalself? Oh, you leave it you leave it. Yeah. smart Okay, the dual camera feature where you can record what is in front of you as well as your face is now available in FaceTime. I didn't realize this wasn't true before and it makes a lot of sense So before in Faceetime, you had to just switch between your face and the thing that you were looking at, which was stupid And it's very nice that you can actually you know do both at the same time now I like that. When you p with things online with Apple Pay, there is a much better UI now to select the card that you're using previously and I've had to do this a million times. you it's so complicated to like pick the right card because you have to scroll down to the bottom menu and then click like use different card, even though It was just a confusing UI before and they made it way better. That's c They synchced the step counts across the health and fitness apps This was not synced before. It was annoying a little things. Yeah, health and fitness, like I think it was because like your Apple watch and your phone like recorded different step amounts and they would get out of sync. and then if you opened the fitness app it would show a different amount of steps than the health app sometimes. L they were tracking steps differently which is really dumb. So this is very much a snow leopard feature U Okay, this one's kind of cool. Call context. So this is like magic Q on the pixel. Yeah. When you call like an airline, it'll know that you're calling the airline. so it'll look through your email and pull up your confirmation number and put it on the screen. This one is Cool if it works,ool if it works. I can see lots of ways that it wouldn't work. Yes. They also at the end of it If I remember correctly had this weird way of saying like We're listening for the context, but we're not listening to the phone call Yeah. It was like a very like 're listening But we're not listen. We're not listening. I promise we're not listening. It seems like they have to get the context somehow. And if you are calling the airline and you have a recent reservation from that airline, then that may be enough context for them to serve. You really have like lat seven reservations though I think it would be tough. It might not work every time. Yeah. reservation number So that was most of the major stuff with just the iPhone Next we got the Mac and we finally got the new name for the Mac And it is Golden Gate Is that a state park? It is, right? Another obscuure Its it's what the hell is it don't. It's not a state park. It's typically been I think it so we had all the cats Lopards, no leopard. Yeah, yeahah a tiger. Then we had places in California, but typically there were state park. Let's go and get Canyon State Park, but it's about the bridge though. It's the bridge. The other oness just landmark. So we've broken out of state. I guess the other ones were state parks because it was Yose well that was national Yosemite's a national park. Joshua Tree is a national park, National park Big Sir is not a national park. That's a state park We never had Joshuree we did No, we didn't, No we didn't, No we didn'. We didn't do that yet No, That's crazy. Yeahann, that would have been good one. Dude, all the Apple people getting high on Ayahuasa and Joshua Tree and they didn't use it as a name forichael. Yeah. That's how they made that animation with Craig. Yeah, And the hippyuds Yeah the hippy. That was actually pretty funn.y lean into that. That was a good one. I'll give them a lot of credit for that. I asked them straight up why they call it the crack markarketing team and they wouldn't give me an answer. It's think that's I think that's just a craig joke that he is just keeping alive by himself.. That's my theory because hes on stage and he's like, arere you gonna say it again? He's like, Yeahah, All right, we're using it They just kept saying, we like to have fun. So that was interesting. Watch this wrap. Anyway MacOS Goldenate. Now something we should say is that a lot of the features that came to the iPhone comeome to every other Apple platform. Yeah. So faster opening, transparency slider, faster airdrop, all the stuff we were talking about. Yeah. Al here. Yeah. So these are gonna to be truncated Um cororner radio. Corner radii That's the name of the st. I MacOS cororner Radi. There's a couple cool things in Safari, I think that they did here. Yeah, totally. So one of them was you can ask it similar to building a series shortcut, you can ask it to build an extension, a saafari extension to do a very specific thing. Yeah. And I got a demo of this and I watched and still basically in natural language can type out or write out what you want it to do and it'll build that extension. If it sees an extension that is similar to what you're asking for, it will actually surface them Yeah So not a full on shherlock of every single extension. But it will still show you extensions. Could you say I don't want to use that one though, keep making it Yeah. tootally, you can Yes. So then now it sureherlocks. it went from not sureherlocking to shherlcking it's more like you want exists that you could use. Yeah Okay. Yeah. if it's just like make me an extension to save bookmarks and rate recipes. It's like, well, okay, that exists. like that's a thing you can get here. and it'll actually do the nice thing and show you that. Yeah. But if you want to keep going, yeah, it'll make you an extension from scratch. Build an extension to scroll past Google AI overview Every time I wear was a scll I I wear I'd be seven. That is really cool though, because I feel like a lot of my developer friends that will have an idea to build something, will want to make a Chrome extension. Like that is where their brain goes first. There's like a thriving developer community for Chrome extensions. Yeah. Not so for extension.. So this could be like a way to get people back building. And I was going to say about this, like Apple is very good at taking things that people are doing outside of Apple ecosystem and then instead of being like We have a platform now that you can vibecode whatever you want. They're like in Safari Now saafari supports vibe coding of saafari extensions. Yeah Instead of having like a nebulous terminal where you're like code me a Chrome extension, you just say, this is what I want to be able to do in my browser, and then it does it. Yeah whichich I think is better for most people There a couple of smart things there. It will, if you want it to, use AI to organize your tabs into tab groups based on topics. so if you have What does Harper have seventy five tabs open at any point? You can just kind of group them together into things that are related to each other and then as you keep browsing, it'll keep sorting. They kind of ripped that from DA not gonna lie. There's a lot of browsers that do this now. I don't know if I call that a full on Sherlock, but that is definitely taken from other browsers. Yeah Okay, wait. If you have seventy five tab open and it's auto sorting them into tab groups. Yes. What if there's something that could be split between two tab groups? So how do I find that as the user? We're not children sure. Yeah. I think I ask someone like that. like if I have two Beause I asked them like, how is it deciding how to group them? And I was like if if there's two Google Docs documents open and the contents of one Google Dots is about cats And then I have a pet store page open Is it going to group the Google Doc with the cat pet store with the pet store or is it going group the Google Doc with another Google Doc? Yeah And they didn't really have answer for me. That's fun Are you just matching Favicons or are you actually like reading the content of the ages? Or like you're looking up cats and you're also looking up Japan And then you start looking up Thatat's in Japan. Right. Where does it go? I don't know go. right, put them all back together. Yeah. It would be cool if the tab group had a reasoning if you like right click if they gave you a reason. Yeahah of why it shows that ' off funny. Somewhere in the code. Yeahah, yeah somewhere in the thinking. I don't know. India, it's interesting because when I have tab groups, I don't make tab groups, but when I right click and like open a new tab, a bunch of stuff, that creates a tab group because it knows I'm doing this tree of things and it keeps them together So that's I imagine there' be animations that at least make it clear what is happening while it's happening. Yeah. So that's cool. Safari is also adding an ability to monitor a webpage for if it changes. So this the common use case of this is obviously like concert t things. But you can only give it you can only have it check once a day whichich means you definitely cannot use it for scalping. And you have to tell it when to check, I believe. There was a different one though that was like using context. it could see, I guess it's kind of the same just because we're tal about concert tickets, but it was like There's a lottery for this concert and it's like I think they took a screenshot of it and said, like remind me when this lottery is opening, which is kind of cool and felt like a vast difference between IO where they're like, I want to go to this concert, do everything for me. Yeah. series like I'll remind you when you can pay for it yourself. Yeah. And it's sort of just it's more of a little reminder tool than it is ant aentic like we're gonna to completely get you the concert ticket So that might that might sure lock something to be honest, but it's not probably not as powerful as some other extensions are. so maybe it's not quite sol locked The other major thing that they made a big deal about, the sidebars are now stretching to the screen edge, huge. So yeah, if you have like the Finder window open or something Basically just making better It's taking more advantage of the screen real estate. B use of space. betteret use of space unlike the HDC one Opin, If you know you know. If you know you know Okay. and then oh yeah, the one big thing that they didn't ask about that they didn't really mention, but I asked if there was anything that they didn't really mention They said MacOS is now much better at remembering the orientation of the screens you have plugged in. This is like the biggest this is actually huge. They could have only said that and I would have stood up and clapped. is This is big. As a person who recently, like very recently switched to being a laptop person who's plugging into multiple sets of monitors. Yeah, I am frequently annoyed by the jumbling of monitor windows that happens when I unplug the monitor and replug it back in and they never go back to where they're supposed to Allegedly, they're going to go back to where this post. Allegedly. I think I think Windows announced that they had this like quite a while ago, so it's nice to see this on Mac But they said it'll know if you're plugged into one screen, two screens, three screens, and then it'll just automatically, you know Wh I set it up fire, Which is cool iPad OS twenty seven gets everything that the iPhone got. There are some other strange improvements, like transferring files from an external drive to an iPad and vice versa is now five times faster than it was before. Wow. I'm not really sure what the roadblock was there previously. Only the Thunderbolt ones are all of them. It says up to J Just like the air drop. Okay. So who knows Um bye Yeah. otherther than that, it basically gets all the same improvements as the iPhone and then you also get sort of the saafari benefits that you're getting from Apple Watch, they didn't change a lot here. We're gonna know as well, like they didn't even have like an Apple Watch section really in the keynote and same with TVOS and also homeome Vision Aro Yeah because no one Vis Pro they They showed a couple shut. They showed a floating Si bar that three people are gonna to use. I will haveould have been fun Okay. I am very excited about the Vision Pro. We'll get there Apple Watch they chang, they have this like dynamic app view now where when you press the digital crown, it shows your six most used apps first instead of just bringing up all of the apps and then you can click into all of the apps after That's basically the only change. There it is. Watch. Watch seven. Ver soen Apparently there's a better workout buddy that has upgrades and better sleep tracking. You get the better WiFi connectivity. Faster music playback. if you click the music playback on the watch and it's playing from your phone, it'll apparently happenving faster because the connection is better. There is better battery efficiency, however This was a big deal. People were very upset about this. They dropped support for a lot of Apple Watches this on this one On the keynote They said it's only supported by Apple Watch series nine series ten and above, I think Which everyone was like the series ten just came out. That's the last two generations. Yeah, last two generations. Yeah. But then someone from Apple said we made a mistake on the keynote. It's actually series nine and above I still only the last three generations. And I checked online and they It does say that now. at least says series nine because I was like, this is something that you can tell us is wrong, but until it's showing up somewhere and it has changed. Yeah. It's still kind of surprising that, you know, Apple Watch Ultra one not have support for watchOS twenty seven, which is kind of crazy. the SE two Yeah, very weir Okay, Vision Pro Yeah. This was the David update. There it is. No, this was the David update. Fis and OS twenty seven. Fision OS twenty seven baby. Oh this is I did yeah, I did mention ye. I thought as soon as they announced this, I was like, Ohh, Dave is gonna do that. Yeah. Yes, I am So what are you gonna to do on Vision Pro? The maor change in Vision Pro besides all the you know, Wiifi speed, whatever, who cares about Wife Fi speed? I don't care about. Do guys remember Vision Pro? You can get rid of the Wi Fi. I'm still excited about this feature So now on Vision Pro There' a feature where there was always a feature where you could spatialize photos, right? Now you can spatialize panoramas. That's not something they had access to before. and. And In the Vision Pro, there's thing called Environments. and they had them built into the Vision Pro where you could like turn the digital crown and you would slowly blend into these beautiful worlds that were handpicked by Apple. They were hands scanned by Apple with these special cameras. No, no, no, no, no You can use your own panoramas as environments now. So to be clear, before on the Vision Pro, I looked it up. There was exactly six environments. Yeah. So when you like shut down the transparency and like go into one of those worlds, you could either be in Yosemite This is where Josha from Maui, Joshua Tree. White sands. and the moon. That's it. All California. The mooon is also Califoria. the moon. Yeah. California. Well, the sounds stage is. On my website, I offer sixty different environments. So Ale Yeah. Apple, if you wanna buy them from me, you can I was like, how do we get Waveformer to talk about Vision Pro? That's probably what happened. That was exactly why they had it. And they nailed that. They also couldn't really make a ton of updates to Vision Pro because the guy that used to head up the Vision Pro is now the head of Siri. And so that's why Vision Pro is kind of like spiraling at the moment K of ings that people don't use very much. But there is like there is we're gonna talk about Siri in a bit, but there is a floating Siri orb now that you can interact with that's just always there. This is my favorite thing they announced period in the whole floating The floating Sir F floating Siri. And the fact that you can move it around. Yep. It should have been Finder Guy It should have been but it's not going to be and I'm like popping but the clpp. You don't want another clippy. you know No, That's exactly what I want. You want because He does want another clippy. You know the Palanter orb in Lord of the Rings, that not Palanter the missile company, the Rings evil guy? Yeah, do you know the Palanti orrb in Lord of the Rings Well, it's the thing that they like can look into that basically teleports you to a different place and you can like look. That's why they call that Palenter because it's like we're spying on everyone on the planet U and I wish I was joking Anyway, that's basically what the Siri Ob looks like. You like look at it and then suddenly you have magic access. I just want my digital assistant to be that orb. I think that is genius. Yeah. putut it everywhere U other interesting things about Vision Pro, you can now like look at things in your real environment and just like ask Siri about them. Yeah, they circle to search. Circle search. But in the real world. Yeah And and there's a new app kit for Safari so that you can make three D environments inside of Safari. So if you're in Safari and Vision Pro, you can tap a little thing and then it envelops you in the entire environment They also added Iceland Yeah, we can take more Iceland. You know, I also offer Iceland. I also offer Iceland environments just so you know. So they're probably better Does Google A the Apple lawyers on that one? Iceland. Yeah. Iceland. Okay. U Okay, we're basically done with the hardware because TVOS didnn't really get upgraded. The home pod they just forgot existed. I think because did mention. it cannot run any of the series stuff because it just doesn't have any RM. Isn't that crazy? The Siri box. doesn't do the new theory And everyone who's bought a home pod By the way, all all the four hundred dollars home pods out there and the homepod minis and all those, they are not going to get the new Si Everyone's sort of They bought into like the people who are most likely to accidentally use Siri once in a while are not gonna see these improvements. iPhone sixteen not even have the new Siri? No, they'll have the new Siri just won't have the most advanced on device models, which is like a couple of small things, like the notation or dictation. But yeah, the Siri box get better Siri. To be fair, the original homebook came out in twenty eighteen, so they were not thinking about that.s still like I bought my Google home assistant or whatever. and that has a new assistant. That just got updated this year. But that's all cloud based whereereas Apple is like we're taking your personal context from your local stuff. That's true. Yeah So yeah. onene thing as well, we didnice we didn't know earlier is that on the iPhone, like when you update, there's now this persistent notification in your settings that's just like indexing in progress. Yeah, It's a big deal. And we'll talk about Siri, so we might get to this in the next section, but ye there's a big part of what makes Siri the new Siri. Yeah is it's going to have way more personal contactxt. It will index all of your stuff. It may take some time to do that When it's done It'll be worth it. Yeah. There's a few small last minute things. AirPods now have customizable EQ.. roof is cheered loud during that. Finally, it's years over date. I can't believe it took this It so No this should be this should have been a feature that came with them like in AirPods one. T years ago. Yeah. And it's ridiculous that it hasn't had it forever. And it's a little disappointing that it's only three bands because yeah that's' only thousand dollars. No Yeah. It's so expensive. it only wor Is it just high, medium low? That's it. That was Yep. Yeah, you have high high high and mid. I'll takepe what we can get. I'll take it I have a question about this. Yeah because isn't the whole point of AirPods Pro and AirPods and stuff that it has the adaptive EQ that will like adjust to your ears and hearings? So why even have this? So yes, and that was basically their argument the entire time. And I think if you asked if ellse was here, he'd be fuming about how things don't sound like other things. I feel. But like yes, Apple's AirPods are computers in your ears and they're constantly adapting to sounding differently all the time, based on your environment and based on what's playing And so the EQ theoretically is also not like other EQ's. will generally It'll generally affect what you're listening to, but not in a precise scientific way. I still think that's fine. I'm glad to have the customization. It's about time Every time I review earbuds, I always talk about how they sound out the box, but also uh this kind of doesn't matter that much because you can make them sound the way you want to. But I've never been able to say that about AirPods Now I can. That's true. I hope it's for all airpods. Some people think that the AirPods Pro two sound better than the AirPods Pro three. Exactly one of them. And that was a balanced thing. And ideally this is what you can use to dial that base back a little bit and actually make. You can have your AirPods two again. have I have a much more granular critique that I will spare our dear viewers tick it No I w to hear it. You wantan to hear it? Yeah.pe. So when I listen to noises on my AirPods Pro three, which I did buy and I still have, they're sitting on my desk in case they ever get firmware updated. When I type on a keyboard, I have this little like resonance in like somewhere between six hundred and two thousand hertz, that's like bing,ing,ing, bing, bing, bing,,ing,ing, bing,ing Every time I'mping, it feels a little thoughty And I just don't really like that. It's just annoying. Every time I get in a car and I close the door, it sounds like a bomb goes off. That's actually very common. Yeah that happens. Pro threees do that all over the place. The Pro two's never did it. I don't know what changed and sometimes I feel like there the noise canceling is so it's really good. But it's so powerful that I'm like just alienated from my environment. It's just uncomfortable and I don't like it. And just overall The sound of the pr tos is it feels a little more balanced. I feel like the proro Thes have like a sharp high end like the high mid range can get sharper, but that's a three bandyQ isn't going to solve that and I just still use my P twoos, even though I have three on my desk. I have the pro thes on my desk and I only ever use the Pro twoos because they just like are the ones that I don't hate. I also won't be using the EQ with them. Because I am so used to the way the Pro two s sound. Yeah. I use them to listen to so much material. That's like how I check everything I ever mix. I'm not changing that anything. Like that is my I know what that sounds like really well. I not I've heard from a few people that the Pro two sound better than Pro three and I'll just trust you guys because I'm not the arti R. How do you feel about frequency response charts I, you know, cut it off. cut it. I don't have too much to say about that Good. And that is a good place to take a quick break. Yeah. 'cause we got plenty more to talk about with Siri and also we have a dad here so we can talk about paramsal controls 'cause I want thoughts Before we do that post but were you paying attention? Of course I was pay Of course you were. So you know that in the Siri AI section A notification popped up That said, the Golden Gate Bridge is painted in a color officially known as o, what? Oh, I did see that. There Oh I remember the obvious color part. I don't remember the the specific. Where that Well, I watched it. Okaykay, yeah I'm writing this down I was surprised by it. It's not What I expect what do you think It's like mermaid taail or something. They would Dang you know it wass funny because when you do that where you're paying attention clips Typically I'm a mix of paying attention. I'm paying close attention sometimes, also But I'm also live tweeting. and I'm also taking pictures. And so a lot of times I'll see something, I'll go, wow, that's really interesting. And I'll take a picture and I'll write in my notes and then I'll live tweet it, and then I'll look up and people are applauding. And I definitely just miss something. I miss something for sure. Yeah All right, I'm glad I got that. Yes. Okay. Y. Well, we'll get to Daddy after the break. Yeah Iess in, huh? What Should we keep that? ' If you why, I don't know. All right, let's keep that. Yeah.

It's a whole system You open the meat, you open the app and it's basically going to run the whole cook for you. Yes, it's tracking everything live and telling you exactly what's about to happen, not just the temperature, but when to flip, when to pull it, and when it's actually perfect. So you go from guessing every time to just being right every time. And once you experience that, it kind of ruins cooking the old way. So no more guessing. you are cooking to temperature instead of time.'s something Al always told everyone when they start cooking.

All right, we're back More dubub Something I was pretty, even though this is, you know, my kids are not old enough to really be doing parental controls. Lane does not have an iPhone. I'm keeping around in Android right now. But so there's you. Oh you next two. A bunch of new pntal controls, which I think First of all They did all of this because next they're going to talk about AI. So they wanted to be like, look at us. We're safe, we're private applaud us thenen we're going to talk about AI, which you're way more skeptical about. And two just because theseese are important and so many more kids have phones. and Ultimately, with all the announcements they did in this, I think the biggest thing they did was the redesign of setting up child accounts which is like It's just a much easier set upp process to be able to include all of these new restrictions and screen time and everything. So They added a new child's account, which one thing they did was if you have a regular account already on for one of your kids, you can convert those accounts back to this new childildren's account. There's a new setup assistant that I just mentioned. Some of them are like pre made groups. One was just called like esssentials only, which has like Faceime, phone, messages, maps and settings. like those are the only apps who are allowed. And then one thing they also announced in that is being able to gradually allow apps after you already do the setup process with the phones you're setting up, which is cool. One of the ways that can happen is whether it's through the app store or I guess apps on your phones, kids can request to be able to use apps or download apps with their parents. So like, Even in this spot right now rental controls on computers and phones and everything. they're just tricker to set up. This is like a much more granular practice of it. So you can Started off, totally lockeddown You know, like I got my first smartphone or sorry, my first phone When I was in seventh grade Bees. And it was because I started playing sports and there was a kid in our school who or at a different school that got left behind at a school and the parents couldn't find them. So my mom was like, you need a way to contact me Yeah. We're going gonna do this, even though you're probably's young devid is still traumatized for Because you started playing sports and Did the kid ever get a bandle We never pag us. I have no you Scone, maybe listening out there somewhere. but so like Lock him down, You can call me in an emergency. That's really all you should be able to do first us. Okay, now you're showing you're more responsible. You can open up this or that U so I think that's a cool way of doing it. There's also the Browser website request So you can just request to visit different websites, depending on how lockeddown you are. Polymarket. If you're a parent and get that call she request. call she That's way So I really like that idea of kids being asking for approval They also have a new screen timee redesign, which does a bunch of different things. It lists groups or apps in like different categories and you can adjust allowances based on the categories or based on times of day, which is awesome because you can really limit Screen time during school hours. Yeah, exactly. which very specifically. Yeah. likeike you can request Like you can use apps out of school hours more freely. but if you're in school B not be on Instagram, Yeah. We really on your phone at all. sure. Yeah. And so and then I do think it has inside the settings a way to adjust allowances kind of like on the fly. So I'm sure whether your kid was bad or good, you can then change allowances based on that like, oh, you did great on your test You could have thirty more minutes of YouTube tonight. Like that's probably a pretty cool way of That huge for me. Threety more minutes of shall you, baby. Is that gonna be your parenting style? Mine? She's never gonna have a phone. Really? No. No, she'll have a phone for sure. like just thinking about humane AI pen because you can't do anything. I think straight to smart glasses is the move. Yeah. Straight to smart glasses. Straight to AI. Well, the glasses will be the paradigm by the time she's older won't even it. I do think about it all the time of like the I got away with as a kid. Yeah and how My kids will not be able to get away with anything. I will know pretty much everything that happ. What think But it's 'cause their new generation will be getting away with different stuff. Yeah, well, new generations don't have a dad who's on a tech podcast that knows all the shit I can do so. They're screwed. Sorry. Do you know what your kids are doing in the metaverse They won't be in the metaverse. How do you know? How will you know? Beacause the metaverse already is given up on by Ma. Yeah, but they're gonna to be in neurolink You know. They're gonna be tradingal. Yeah. I don't know what my neurink thinking about. No Yeah. How should I? But the computer does. Elon Musk does One question I had for you guys who had no kids went through thirty one years old. Unmarried I mean, that's Childless Tch man T So they're doing a thing where you can also approve new contacts in apps. They just called there were Faceetime messages, phone are pretty obvious. Do you know if it extends into other apps because The contacts that I would be the most worried about are robblos or WhatsApp are a little more onliney things. And I don't know if they even would be able to do that, but they first just said contacts and apps and I was like In online video game world, that's where the predators are. That's where I want my kids requesting. I do think that has for a long time been the challenge of a lot of these tools is you can restrict which apps they do or don't have access to. But then once you go into those apps, the content in that is kind of like if you just give them YouTube YouTube is all of the stuff on YouTube. So I think that's more of like a high level control of like once they're in that app, it's everything that comes with that app. Remember during the Epic and Google trial, they had like a three day long disposition on what a game is So I don't think Yeah. it probably won't, but ye would be something. I mean, they did add the like age API thing that developers could implement. So that's like maybe one indicator of how they're looking at doing this kind of stuff. It all is pretty cool. I like how granular it is and I just really think the most important thing here is how easy it is to set up for parents. So parents will just actually use it And Apple launched a dedicated website for parents to actually learn how to use this, which is helpful. Again, ye I think that these features are like super important I also think that most parents don't know they exist. So any way that Apple can get out, even Google Apple, whoever's making these parental control features, like bring awareness to these things, I think that's a very, very importantace should have a stat flo. Yeah But they will say like when you do set up an iPhone, there is a I'm setting this up for someone else and then it asks is it a kid? And then I think they probably give you some sort of setup flow for like parental controls. and their age and all that. Yeah S'day I was in my briefing for this with a bunch of parents and they loved this part of the briefing. I'm so happy I don't have deal with it yet. I've got a few years but Yeah, there were people, I guess most of them were actively trying to do some sort of like parental controls with the existing tools and the requests that they had were basically all solved by these new sets of tools Thatound was cool. I'm just imagining me with my phone up and being like, laye, clean up your toys and I have this slider for like YouTube allowanceces. she's just watching it tick down not doing what I want her. Yeah. No rooblox for you. My other read on this, which was I don't know, if this is just the way I think about tech companiesites like get your kid an iPhone. Yeah. your kid an iPhone becausecause you have all these toills and it'll be super great. And also when the kid gets used to the iPhone super, super early, they are much more likely to continue to buy iPhes as they grow up And we know the story of yeah, we know the story of the iPhone in the US. is like kids just want iPhones. So yeah. now you have a good reason to get them yourour mom and iPhone Yeah your kid an iPh So bigiggest, baddest, most anticipated two year waight of all time, bigger than Avengers end game. It's Siri and Siri AI, which is just Siri with another name So the new seri will be be back Okay. Yeah At a high level, ye I feel that the new series is Not that crazy. It is about what we expected as far as capabilities anyway The thing that Apple always does when they introduce a new thing, especially if it's in a new product category, is they make it the thing that works with the iPhone and the rest of the ecosystem really well So you have other AI tools, especially large language models that you can use. You've been able to get Gemini on your iPhone and Claud and Chat GPT What is the thing about Siri that would make you even try to use it when you already have those things? Well, it's the one that can plug deeply into your personal context and the stuff that's on your iPhone Okay, great, what does that That means it can read your ei messages, it can look at your calendar. It can see things that were in your group chats, in your notes, in your email because it's on your phone And it can actually search through that stuff. It's indexed very, very specifically and can even take some actions on your behalf, mostly just by digging into apps. It can send messages for you. It can add calendar events, reminders, notes. all using those like first party Apple apps My immediate question seeing all of that stuff was Well what if I don't use all those Apple apps, right? obbviously you can use iMessage, but what if I use WhatsApp? What if I use Google Clendar? What if I use Spotify? What if I use a different podcast app Is this stuff going to work? Anyway, the idea is if you have a specific app that you want it to use for request, like if I have say pocketcasts that I wanted to open podcast with, if I ever go, Hey, Siri which sorry for triggering all of your series. If I ever say that and go What is that podcast that Kevin recommended a week ago? Can you play that It'll go search through your iMessage, find the podcast, and play it by default. And it'll just play Wform If it's a supported app. It'll play it. It'll play it by default in Apple podcasts, but if I ask for it to play in podycasts and the developer has enabled that then It should work. You can go into the default apps section and there are default apps It's for email, messaging, calling, call filtering, browser, translation, passwords. But that's for clicks, not for Siri I think Siri will access these as well. really. So if I say let's see, let's try this because I just changed my default email app to Gmail. Okay Hey Siri Sent an email to Adam Eelina, telling him he needs to pick me up. Oh it just died. G Its a bug. Let' try again. It'sa softw Sendnd an email to Adam Melina telling him to pick me up milk after work. Got you, fam. All right Yeah, yeah, it didn't do Gmail. But it did say pick upp Mook after work except for my iPhone. And it did Apple mail? It did Aleail. Okay so that's my suspicion. So we'll see how that works and it see wait, let me ask it composed it and then you can let me ask Let me ask to do Gmail Hey, Siri Send an email with Gmail, telling Adam Melina to pick me up milk after work. is Obviously not as quick as that of its own app. Yes Didn't, Well, while that's loading, wasasn't there something that in order to not set off anyone's series during the event that they like broadcast allegedly cut certain frequencies. that I guess we're in the S and whatever other letter made it easy to identify the words I want to try it out This beta software is really takes still time. I think the Siri loading icon, which is like six thoughts spinning around, should have been the Beach bowl T but eep it out. Wow Uh Adam atmelina. com still openedle Apple now after all. Yeah. Yeah. it doesn't yeah, you can't do it. So not right now. As an iPhone user, like many others who use things like Google caalendar and not Apple calendar. We use things like Tk Tk and not Apple rememinders etc, etceter. I wonder how much of this stuff will work or be feasible to use I'm now sad because yeah That kind of yeah, because Google Maps I use Google Maps I use Gmail, I use Pocketcasts. Yeah. I don't want to use only Apple apps. There's lots of developers at that keynote that make alternatives to Apple's apps. Yes. But I would imagine they would still have to implement this, right? Like not all of these features have been built into Gmail yet, you know true. Maybe there are updates to these apps coming that we willll support and then this will work flawlessly. Tchnically, yeah, I think Apple basically said that The developers have to support it wasn't app C cllips, it was app intense Appense, which is a thing that they've had for a while now. But apparently Google has just not really supported them in a lot of Google apps. because they have that little micro war which is really annoying, even if they both pay each other like a billion dollars. And also financing. The other thing is like how much of it is going to be on the device? Be I know like I message It knows all my messages. Okay. but What about my Google calendar? It's not that's not all on my phone. It's kind of nebulous. They did go into detail about the different models and how much they access the cloud versus how much theyd happen on device. They didn't say what apps can do on device versus what can't. I know that u There was a rumor going around that even setting a timer would hit the private cloud compute server. I asked someone at Apple about this and they were like It'll get worked out. The things that can happen on the iPhone should just happen on the iPhone without having to leave. So theres there's five models And this is a little bit confusing. It's not actually using Gemini allegedly Apple says that they They are licensing a trill one point two trillion parameter Gemini model for about a billion a year as a teacher for the Apple Foundation models It sounds like they're building their own foundation models by basically distilling Gemini answers. S you got a toot kind of. It's a toot. It's a private toot. They're building their own models based on their own datas setets is what they said, but they're using Gemini to sort of like teach their model how to be a model. I don't understand it I was a car company And I had a billion dollars a year partnership with another car company Yeah. And I was going to make my own car, but I was going to use that partnership to have the other car any teeach me how to build a car. Toyota. you would end up with a car that lookooks and works and acts a lot like the one you're getting tutored from. you'd be able to technically say correct that it's not a copy to be of the other. They did say they use their own datas setets. So that's something. Yeah, we use our own tires and our own materials. I have no idea how to put them together R. But I have the blueprint of a Toyota Prius. Yes. And so when I put these things together using the instructions from the Prius, it's probably gonna to end up looking like the Prius. Yeah. But it's not Toyota's tires, it's my tres. Yeah. So don't you call it a Toyota car? Yeah. Okay Yeah, That's how Gra kind of sounds a lot like distillation. Yeah. Do you think for a billion a year they just Now they only pay nineteen billion dollars to Apple to be the search engine. seearch engine. Yeah. There's a lot of back and forth. a littleount receipt after. So there's five main models. There's two on device models. There's AFM three core, which is Apple Foundation model three core That happens for a very simple task, It is a three billion parameter model. That should be able to do things like setting a timer, et cetera FM three core addvanced, which is their most advanced on device model, which has twenty billion parameters. but it kind of uses the like mixture of expertts technique where it only accesses between one to four billion parameters at a time to actually do stuff. So I believe that's the one that can only work on the like iPhone Pro and like the latest one that won't work on the regular iPhone sixteen or iPhone fifteen proro, etcetera. The one built from the ground up. Built for Apple Intelligence. You guys who bought the iPhone that was built for Apple Intelligence, better get your ninety five dollars now And then there's three private cloud compute models. There's AFM three cloud, which is heavier cloud requests, which I assume is just stuff that the local models can handle. AM three clloud image, which is sounds like a distillation or some sm of version of Nanob Banana that is Apple's version of Nano Banana And then there's AFM three Cloud Pro, which is their heaviest tool. They specifically called out that it uses Google Cloud infrastructure, and it specifically called out that it uses NVIidia GPUs. Is this the one you think that will go through an unsubscribe If you do that. like the agentic stuff. Aentic stuff yeah. Or not unsubcribe. Change your password. Change your passwords. Yeah M I don't know That seems like comp whichich ones they're going to need a NVIidA GPUs for or if they just did that because there's some weird payment going on between NVidia and I have no idea. It feels weird because like the most like that is a very privacy centered thing, which I would assume would go through their private stuff, but they're saying the heavier stuff like that would be through There was some mdiness because they were saying all of the Coud models are through private cloud comppute, but then some people were saying that the most hardcore one that uses Google Cloud infrastructure, they said it still has the benefits of private cloud compute. and they were very specific about that verbiage. Yeah, because Google made their own version of it, basically. Iic would probably those are just being routed through Google service. Probably what it is. But then wouldn't It's only on Apple'sface.ike I feel like Apple still wouldn't do that Yeah. I don't know. It's all very It's all too nebulous and we don't want to make any big claims U, Okaykay, I think that we should get down to what Siri actually does because there's three main pillars of what Google what Apple is saying that Syrii can actually do. So there's Personal context which is so you can draw from all your personal apps like messages, Google Photos, email, and calendar take actions for you So you can say like, hey, Sari, when's mom's flight landing? And because it hads, you have a contact called Mom and it can search through your messages and she texted you when her flight is landing, it'll just tell you and that's helpful. There's on screen awareness which is Si being able to analyze what' on your screen is basically circle search. It can add things to your calendar. can you can ask it things about the things that are on your screen, et cetera And then there's in app actions, which is where Siri can perform and chain tasks together across tasks. So if you pull a photo into an email or you make a schedule based on your notes, that's where it's manipulating your apps for you U to do this They now also have a dedicated Siri app Yeah. so all of your apps, all of your devices are going to get this Siri app and it's essentially like a memory bank for all of the things that you've been asking Siri. So obviously if you use any of these others, you've 've seen like the sidebar of all your previous queries This isn't A hundred percent of your queries because you might just have serious what the weather is and doesn't want to save everything But it's the things that are you know, a little more context I might want to come back to them all your memories and it will sync across devices So you can pick up where you left off from one request or one conversation to the next. Yeah in this little hub where all your Sirious stuff will be. And there there's an interesting interface on the iPhone specifically, but I'm sure you can do it on other computers as well where when you ask Sir a question, it will give you like a high level answer But then you can pull down the little orb that kind of pops up andll it'll just sort of likeike fluidly open the app. It'll splat open. Spllat open. yeah. It'll gge spat. It doesn't feel like it's opening an app, but it's sort of just like this extension of itself, but it is the app. Yeah. somethingomething strange about round is of it. Yeah, it's just like it's a very basic looking becauseuse it looks like a dynamic island pops open, but then it looks like the dynamic island just takes over your whole screen except for a little bit of transparency at the bottom. Yeah it's just I kind of liked it. So I had one thing that I really liked, one thing I really didn't like. Okay. The thing that I really liked was the way it seems to it comes out of the dynamic island and then you can extend it and it just seems to always act like an overlay. So I thought that that visual consistency of it always just happening on top of whatever you're doing makes sense. That's the same thing like Gemini will do if you want to show itself on your screen. It always feels like it's on top. So I thought that visually that made a lot of sense And that's the same on the Mac and the iPad, it always looks like a little window. The thing I didn't love and it's subtle, but I think it makes a big difference for confidence using it is it doesn't transcribe what you're saying visually as you're talking. It just listens and shows a little orb. And then when you're done talking Boom, that's the text that you just input in. And it's a little thing, but when it shows the text as I'm talking, which like the rest like Googled especially does this really well, that gives me a good sense of like, okay, it's understanding what I'm saying, and here's what it has so far and here's the rest of what I want to say. Yeah I I wish it did that. Yeah. Because if you say something really long, doesn't get it right in the beginning. Now you've said the whole thing, but all of that could be wrong because of the first sentence where I see it in live. You can be like, o no, no, that Yeah. I can start over. Yeah. So that's a little thing that I wish they did differently. Maybe they will. There's still time to update the software. Yeah. But yeah, it does seem like it's sort of always in overlay mode happening on top of whatever you're just doing on your phone Have you messed with Siri at all and tried to get it to do edge cases and stuff yet? No, I'm updating my pro right now. That's what I'm going to be beta testing on because I want to do it on my main device. All of this for me is just from Keynote and from hands on I got at Apple Park. Yeah. I had a couple delightful experiences with Siri where I didn't expect it to work and it did. And I had a couple where it just utterly failed. Yeah. as Siri. Classic. But one that was really surprising to me, so I was The way that these events work is we get we get briefing schedules before the keynote. The but on the schedule, it'll be like one PM to two PM It just says briefing. becausecause they want you to know like what to prepare for, but not like what specifically to prepare for because you haven't seen the keynoteet Then you go to the keynote and then you've learned everything and then they give you another briefing schedule that tells you what the actual briefing is about. It unmasks the names of the briefing. Yeah I had been referencing my briefing email like all day to make sure I was like making it to my briefings somet time. And it got really annoying because I had to keep searching my email like a bunch of times. It was like, oh, this is an interesting series dynamic. So I was like, Hey, Siri, can you make a note of my WWC briefing schedule did it just it was like, here you go. And so it pulled it out of my email But It pulled out the original schedule. So it just said briefing. Yeah. So I said Hey, can you actually update that with the most recent one that gives more details? And then it did that And it was cool. Wow. And I was like, damn, that actually worked Then I said, Actually, can you add this to my email There's my calendar And it added the first two to my calendar. And then I said, Can you add the other three to my calendar? And it added two more to my calendar? I said, Can you add the last one to my calendar? And then it finally added the last one So there's weird chunks. and then also it only added it to my Ale calendar and I can't get it to my Goo goh. That's what I expected. This is the pr That's the main problem. Yeah, P part of me wants to just go all in on Apple's ecosystem. No, this is what it's designed to do.one. got it. You're the last person that could even do this, man. Listen, it's for science. I like jumping between things just to. Look, the golden gates of this walled garden are so shiny. If you are just entirely in Apple walls, everything works Dude it's awesome. But right now it's my Golden Gate bridge. That's fine. And if you use Gemini, it's all going to be great or looking your email, looking youroolendar. Always looking to draw your stuff But if you do if you do the Apple thing, it will use Apple reminders. It will use Apple podcasts, It will use Apple Clendar, you use iMessage, it willll do all the stuff you want because that's all the services you use. R And that sounds pretty nice. but Dt Don't let yourself become that person,ase Yeah They haven't shocked everything yet. Yeah. So we're obviously still in the very early testing stages of Siri. I tried it again with another thing, like I was heading towards the airport, but I had some time for dinner and I wanted a burrito, but I wanted to sit outside, but I wanted to be on a back patio. So I was like, this is awesome. So I just gave it a million different parameters of this query and it did find me some places. One of them was not Mexican But Most of them were. So I, you know This is what's gonna to happen. We're Everyone's gonna have to start testing this stuff and using it And it's either going to work all the time in ways that are surprising and great Or and this is what I think is more likely to happen, is people are going to try to push it to its limits and try to ask it to do more and more interesting things. because remember every time something new comes out, people try to break it. going all the way back to bing. L peopleeople are just trying to break it and it's going to fail. And I wonder what it's going to look like, slash act like, slash say when it fails. How does it fail? Does it confidently get things wrong orr does it just go, hey, I can't do that That'll be what we start seeing in videos Yeah to judge if it's actually capable or good or not. One thing, so I kind of I ran into that because I asked it, what time does my flight board because I don't think that's necessarily something that it tells you in the email, but I was like, maybe you can find that information anyway. So I asked it and it went around forever. It was like, d d And eventually it came back with I can't tell you the exact time, however, most flights board about forty minutes before So wrong. That's something unless you're Marquez. Or you're going internationally, which they want you to board an hour an hour before. So I don't I mean At least it wasn't just I can't help with that, which was the entire Si experience before this. Yeah. Hey, set a timer. I can't help with that.. What do you say? You know it's just evenven longer saying I can't help with that. And it takes a while for sure. Yeah. Yeah Really quickly On the Mac when you're using Siri, they built it into spotlight. So that's a cool interaction. paradigm. So Yes, be careful. It's basically careful Cful. I haven't put up the third finger yet for the shirtlck, but it's close. So when you use your command space to use spotlight, not only spotlight way faster and way faster at finding files because that indexing stuff we talked about earlier But now if it detects that it's a question or an action that it can take, there's a do this with Siri button and it's cool. And then also in the screenshot tool, which is command shift four or Command shift five, there's a Siri option now too, where you can basically circle the search on your screen and take action with the addit to your calendar, do stuff like that That's really cool. and then there's a dedicated ser app on the in the floating Orb on Vision Pro. The floating orrb Adams favorite. Yeah, the Palantir Orb. Yeah. U yeah, so that's probably it. There's some weird things. It's not going to be Siri on the iPhone is not going to be available in the EU or China for now because of DMA stuff, but it is available on the Mac in the EU because their thing only covers smartphones and not uters And It's English only, right? And it's English only for now as well. You can also now customize series voice and change the expressantveness and speed Um It's definitely not a leading class voice model. I'm gonna be honest. I've heard some samples. It's not terrible.ound It sounds S onide I'll definitely be testing all this stuff reviewing it, obviously when the time comes, defeinitely h subscribe. If you guys have any questions you're listening to this, you want to know if I try to do something, if it works or not, leave that down below. I want to know what you want to see if it's capable or not. Y Well, That was fun. That wass Dub dub What's a question Oh yeah, trivia time question. So When Apple were demonstrating the features of the new Siri AI in Vision Pro They gave us a demonstration of a user looking at a backpack they were thinking about buying. trip and they asked, does this backpack fit on my flight Where was that flight going Sam That's so. Is it bad that I remember the website they were using Iember everythingthing else about. Remember the back boot. I remember the boots and they said, do the boots fit and it said, yes, but just barely. I remember everything else. Those are the this they had in real life, right? Yeah They like what they fit in Re boots and they asked if it fit in the backpack. That was on the website. Whatere did they look? Totally realistic scenario. But where is the flight I have a random thought, but it's not probably right They'll fit but it will be tight Well, let's find out after the break Keep seeing celebrities posts, me in the nineties versus now. Well the person staring at me in the mirror is definitely not the same person that could pull off boot cut jeans Time creeps up on us so slowly, you don't see it until suddenly you do. Same thing goes for your bills. A dollar here, an uptick there, it's a slow burn until one day you realize the price you're paying now is way higher than when you signed up.

See you this summer Welcome back. this is the WW episode where we're gonna talk about Nostalgia Gaming run really quick Gaming. I just want to say it Xbox twenty fifth anniversary Xbox series X twenty five In transparent greens? Is that nameame They're calling it the Xbox series X twenty five So like but the way I I rewote this like three timesx I was so confused. The ROG al. said Xbox like four times Xox boox X Xbox, series X. She green She transparent She pretty L like she's much chance to lose. This is a nostalgia Oh There was like original box. Oh yeah limited Gotcha. I really thought it was like a master Chief edition, but I might be wrong about that, but That was right on for Yeah. it's fine It's so good though. It looks nice. It does look nice if I played it. As someone who has never seen the actual old Xbox that it's based on This looks cool What? I like it. Yeah Never seen? I just I've seen old Xboxes, but they're all black aybe you've never seen the clear. I've never seen whatever this is referencing, but it looks it looks cool. Okay. I have a quick rant. aboutout Alcarina of time. And then I have a quick rant, but go on Why didn't I bring my Alcarina? I didn't put this in a dock so it'll be a surprise for me. I should have brought Alcarina and just It's not out of storms. I was debating asking you to bring it in, but I flee directly from DubWubakes sense. I'll play it next next week. You didn't bring it to DubWub with you? Yeah, that'd be cool. I'll play it next week Nintendo announced a remaster again They've remastered Star Fox and Ocaran of Time like four times a year. Oh God. Ar cre of time And star okay There's a scene in the trailer. They just showed a trailer and they only showed what Link looked like and then like what the intro looked like, but they didn't show any gameplay But Nintendo now is going for hyperrealism, which is just the thing that Nintendo never did. Yeah. It's in my opinion, a horrible idea because the amount of Zelda games that they've made and they just do different art styles and it's always really interesting and cool when they switch up the art style, but now I don't know if you guys have ever seen those like Mario, but if it was made in unreal engine, like fan videos. And they look ridiculous. Like they've been making those for the last like ten years and they look like They can look kind of cool, but You can't have Hyperreism and timelessness at the same time. becausecause those graphics will always become outdated Whereas if you go with cartoon and cell shade it and something that never was made to look realistic anyway, it is timeless. like like Windwaker Ezelda Windwaker Always going to look amazing because it's cell shaded Anyway, Okreita is my favorite game of all time and I just really feel like they massacred my boy. This this video of him and Pretty realistic. kind of just looks like, you remember pooly pockets? Wh But It looks like a poly pocket in this.'s like Yeah. I'll reserve judgment for when we actually see gameplay, but link It is weird to just show guys you can vote with your wallets. You don't have to keep buying the same game with. Iagree. You don't have to free for backair baseball. No. No. Yeah. No you if you look back thereair baseball is going to be the same game as well, but it'll have online multiplayer. so that's new. If the only thing that's new is because you said remastered. Yeah, is it the same game just higher quality but it's not Like for the three Ds, they basically just put like a like like a sharpening shader on the original game. Yeah. For this one, they're like making all new assets. I mean, it's supposed to be when you say new, you mean old but better looking reedone. like the same characters but drawn again. differentifferently. Yes my point Yeah Don't buy it I won't I probably won't. I don't buy all these games. I didn't buy star. I guess my angle is if you do buy it, if you do buy it, this will be confirmation for the companies that it works and I'll do it again. Yeah I know what you're saying. Clearly works. They keep doing it. Yeah. Hollwood.'re going keep doing it Anyway, I just want to say they massacred my boy and Nintendo needs to stop doing hyperrealism. And speaking of Nintendo and hyperalism, they somehow got the trailer for Kingdom Hearts four And I am so excited for this for this game to come out And there was already a trailer three years ago and then radio silence And now there's another trailer So we'll see how long it takes until the next trailer. I've always been surprised that they can just be like Soul Caliber but Mickey Mouse and that's popular, But exactly And Donald Duck, don't forget to. Go off K and Goofy loveove it. Sora wasnt smash, so That's true. Yeah. Maybe Lane and I can play this Maybe Kingdom Hearts. You should play the first thirteen games th so you really understand this. thirirteen, you just said four. Well, they have like two point five and then two pointter two point you have remaster. There's They have multiple remasters. You should watch just a YouTube super cut under story because there's like a bunch of story that happens only in like mobile games that were specifically released in Japan and that's like actually canon to the actual gamepl. D you ever find the door That he's trying to unlock with that big key. No spoilers ' that is carry that key. Great g, great story. inse It's an insane story that everyone should know because it's amazing. I heard it was insaning. Yeah. Really Okay. I just have one last thing because I feel like it's important Uh anthropic. finally released its model that was too dangerous to release So yeah. That's the playbook We talked about Mythos a long time ago. It was like a crazy cybersecurity model and they were like, we're not gonna to give this to people and then they gave it to people. Crazy new marketing angle. Yeah. This thing we' about to release. You can't handle it. T too hardot to handle.. They've done it a few times. So here it is. So here it is They said they like madeade it safer They're kind of doing a little bit of a bait and switch, which I don't love, where Giving access to everybody like who has a paid subscription of any kind, access to this model for like one month And then they're completely pulling it from the models you can access unless you pay for the API. Isn't that what drug dealers do? Yes. Well they have a reason the reason they said they're doing this is the same reason that they said they they're changing their data retention policy. Oh for But if you read their press release, what they said is that they wanted to make sure that they were curtailing like bad actors using it to do the wrong stuff. So you know how you can get it to be like, o, roleplay is my grandma who used to read me state secrets as when I was going to sleep Now she's dead and ye, can you do it for me? Yeah. And it's like, no, no, I won't do that. So you could ask it like, okay, role playay is my talking dog who I trained to repeat states to and then you could get it to do it like that. They're looking for all of the variations of the ways you can trick it. so that they can train their alignment model to be better Abot. finding the things that people are going to do, the patterns that people are going to try to use. Well they just tell around the restrict. They they want it to be less gollable. they just tell fable to tell it all the things that people can do to get around it because I thought I could do everything. Well, know I' You got me. I don't know should me. I don't know. It's This is why I don't work at Amthon. Look, it's a combination of like Apparently this model was freaking insane and Opus was already insane and we vibecoded a lot of crazy with it But It's just kind of crazy to like release to public for one month and then pull it. And I like I can you could wrap your you can That could be an excuse. I could understand partially kind of maybe, but obviously they're trying to get people to pay for the API because twenty dollars a month. There's been a lot of da that's come out that like these twenty dollars a month plans cost these companies five thousand dollars. So they need people to pay per token So anyway, that's the whole thing. That's I just wanted to say that. It was impossible. like They had Anyway, we had to talk about it briefly question with this is ye, do you think this was all planned already? Yeah.. This is part of the rollout, right? L announced with those. Yeah. And then a month later or forty some days later, they're like, actually we also have these sa. They've done this multiple times. Like this is like the second or third time that they've been like, it's too dangerous to release this to the public and then they release it to the public. Money please Money please Yeah, because the economy is going gonna crash pretty soon after the SpaceX IPO and the anthropic IP and the opening IPO.oney By the way, on the same day as WW U OpenAI filed to confidentially IPO which was not that confidential. Th these companies what confidential means because we keep hearing about it. But I meanwhile, it's not going be confidential if you just file, right? That's like Yeahah, then they say that they did it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know Is it confidentially or confidently Both I also think it's cool that Apple and Chad JBT are breaking up a little bit They haven't officially broken out? Yeah. That whole thing where you could like you'd ask ser your question and would go, you mind if I ask CchCPT this question? Yeah It doesn't necessarily need to do that anymore. Yeah. So That's nice. That's cool. Yeahice. Yeah All right I know that we're running long time. It's time for trivia. Should be o, dude Yeah Marker? So, I do. We have points Marquez, twenty six Andrew, twenty five David thirty one A first question in the Siri AI section A notification popped up that said The Golden Gate Bridge is painted in a color officially known as what Tim Cook. I can't believe I remember this. is one of those If If you got this right, I will be shocked. This is maybe the most specific thing you could ask me that I remember reading the notification P'm pretty sure I have't. That's crazy. Yeah. We'll see. Reading the notification. Yeah, like the notification. Oh on the screen. Well, 'cause the other question' about oh no, it's about a destination Yes Is that our journey or the destination So re what do you got Oh I think you're right, Mark has. I remember it saying it was painted in this international orange, which is like this universal color of like highigh contrast or whatever they use for the The buttonang your Apple Watch Ultra. W. Correct. That watch ultra butt was the same color as the Golden Gate Bridge. It didn't age the same, but that's true. It I mean that That hasn't been around as long as the Golden Gate Bridge. Exactly. I knew it was orange, so I wrote Nixon five. Correct. You That'll be really funny because there's an a tonight and we don't know. Let's give them the c name. Uh I won't give them the point. All right. there what you say? California Poppy cororrect I guess. Yeah, I was saying correct I was gonna give you the point, but then David yelled. becauseause he also agrees that it's Nixon five. It's Nixon five They already swept, We just live in an alternate reality Okay. All right, nextxt question. Nixon four. Where is the flight to? Okay, somewhere you go hiking, I guess. Wait, what was the question again? Oh When demonstrating N Si AI functionality in Vision Pro. They showed us a person going on a trip somewhere and checking if their backpack would fit in the overhead bin of a flight Where were they going? Cuppatino Little bear Big barely
