Spending the whole episode trying to decipher what Ellis said

The X Cox will be my guess

I'm thinking xtube

Xtube for sure

@@mommyofceosx tube is genius 😂

X hub

I love that they are actively thinking about what would make good intro clips and get so excited when they find it 😂

Marques facial expressions are one of the main pillars of this show! Dolphin confusion 😂😂😂

This podcast is the content I always look forward to most!

The 30 pin connector was with us for more than 10 years! Remember that it was released in 2003 alongside the iPod 3rd gen. I don’t know which one was the last product to be sold that used it, but the 7th gen iPod was sold until 2014 so… more than a decade 😵‍💫

Yeah it was also on iPads and stuff so tons more products!

Yeah we were specifically counting the iPhones it was on.

back when they didnt spam us with new products

I'd love to know if the 30 dollar Apple USB-C cables will last more than a year.

The clip of Marques saying “You can’t call it that! That name’s taken!” Made my entire week lmao😂

what did he say???!!

@@justwallace based on David saying YouTube Red shorts after, most are thinking he said “XTube” but no real way to confirm lol

​@@TJKoopa3018following the context, the device being cylindrical, and then a mention of "Youtube Red", I am positive that's what he said.

@@bmo3778His lips also seemed to purse making the "ooo" sound, so I think you're right that it is xtube.

The dolphin simulator killed me, so did marques’s “horrible SEO” 😂

Regarding the increased iCloud storage, if you have an apple one plan, it adds the extra storage on top of the 2 tab that’s included with the plan. it feels like more of a bargain at the higher levels. only slightly, though because of all the other things that come with apple one.

The more I hear about all this AI assistant for everyday people, I can't help but want these features to come to the health care setting. As a nurse on a very busy floor, I would kill to be able to verbally chart my assessments, vitals, notes, and bring up a live feed to conference with a provider in emergency situations. I wouldn't even mind rounding with doctors via my pc on wheels. This is the kind of tech I want to make my job ever so slightly less time consuming.

'As a nurse, I would kill...' Very nice words

@LinKueiDragon  lol, I'd sell my soul too. Some days I'm that desperate for some extra help. 😆

@DvnCodesTV-bl3nv  yeah I notice the errors from provider notes when they voice chart. Usually its not too hard to figure out what was meant, but the tech does need to get better. Even small errors can lead to patient harm.

39:15 actually the nest hub gen 2 has a soli radar sensor that will change the UI depending on where you are standing. So timers will get bigger if you're not nearby, music controls will show up if you walk up to it and some other small things like that

Really enjoy the conversation as always. The only podcast I have to watch the in video mode 🔥

Best part of my week, so enjoyable to watch.

I took a quick look at the Apple Watch carbon neutral report and they claim most of their impact comes from electricity, so switching to clean energy accounts for most of the reductions. My guess is they are also accounting for greener electric grids, which is why there are reductions for charging the watch. The tricky thing about carbon neutral products, is that it’s one product only. If they are building new products with high footprints, then the reductions achieved by a single carbon product may be insignificant. Companies should be decarbonizing across their operations.

Non-ironicaly I am SUPER EXCITED for the Paint layers and transparency because I bought a digitizing table just for fun and apps are super clustered with features and all I want is transparency and layers.

as a senior software engineer who does use Chat-GPT to help write code occasionally, I want to say my perspective on AI writing code, especially for anyone considering entering the industry. In Software Development, there's "engineering" (the high-level design) and there's "writing code" (typing out the solution line-by-line). I like to use the analogy of clothing. There used to be a time when people had to weave fabrics by hand, that's like writing code. Machines started greatly reducing the number of those people that were needed for the fabric weaving, but to this day we still need the designers (analogous to the software engineer). AI is getting to a point of reducing the number of low-level "coders" you need, but its actually pretty bad for anything more than a very simple algorithm/project (hallucinations are worse and harder to identify/diagnose than in normal speech responses), and even as that gets better, there are tons of elements of the "engineering" side that AI is nowhere near replacing, mostly because these things are different for every piece of software depending on tons of factors like your users and your balance of security/speed/usability for hundreds of different aspects of a project which are all *kinda* based on opinion and I wouldn't want a machine deciding those things for me. AI is also known to be increasingly catastrophic when it starts correcting itself (ai's talking to each other develop new languages), which means AI constantly updating its code with new requirements will result in some insane and hard-to-maintain code that will be impossible to debug or tweak if there's a problem. So I still think people should feel confident going into the computer science industry, keeping in mind that the industry will moving more and more toward what you learn in a "systems analysis and design" type class, which unfortunately is a small part of the degree. If all you can do is write code that someone else tells you to write, then yeah, you might be in trouble in 5-10 years. But if you can use AI to help flesh out the pieces of a piece of software that you designed, you'll be in great shape for a long time.

I don't know man, for 5-10 years it just hard for me to imagine what 6 order of magnitude of computation more than know looks like, that's what nvidia predict by the end of the decade(7 years from now) we'd have 6 order of magnitude of compute than now(1000000×), it seems likely that artificial intelligence would already eclipse human intelligence by then

@@muhamadfikri6145 first of all that’s pretty optimistic since we’re already approaching the theoretical transistor size limit, but I’ve written machine learning algorithms and worked with LLMs professionally, and it’s hard to explain the difference but these are good at “acting” smart not “being” smart, and even if compute power does get that much better, it will still be acting based on training data from humans, the way AI works right now (fancy statistical analysis), hallucinations are a fundamental problem and as soon as AI starts learning from AI it goes off the rails and deviates from truth and believability insanely fast. AI is a very powerful tool that will be increasingly powerful, but we are very VERY far from true AGI that can think and learn rationally as humans do without lots of input from humans. An infinitely powerful LLM is still only as good as the training model, which is never perfect.

I see the evolution of LLMs in their current form as a logarithmic curve rather than an exponential one, and those look similar at the beginning but because of the training set and hallucination problems, I think we are going to start seeing some diminishing returns in a few years

I cannot wait, at all, for the deep dive video(s) of the carbon offset details and carbon neutrality, for Apple as well as the other large tech companies!

The reason back glass replacement on 12-14 is so expensive is because it’s not just the glass that’s replaced— it’s everything but the display and rear camera module. Everything elese, battery, motherboard, TrueDepth, taptic engine, speaker, receiver — all part of the “rear system” part that has to be replaced to address cracked rear glass on those models (minus 14 and 14 PLUS - those can have just the glass removed). Hope that clarifies 🤷🏽‍♀️

Love the Xbox segment on this! I listen to a lot of gaming podcasts so hearing your perspective from a tech + casual gamer perspective was awesome!

The upgrade to Motion sensors is presence sensors - those can tell if there is one or more people in the room, where they are, and even stuff like whether you’re sleeping to adapt your lights 50:50

As someone who worked in cellphone retail for many years, I can tell you that at least 1 out of 10 people, just upgrade because their upgrade comes up with 0 research, and will 100% be confused by the USBC cable

Working in any retail quickly teaches that if something can be misunderstood or used wrong, somebody will do it.

The 30 pin was 10 years also! Remember the first iPhone picked up where the iPod touch and previous iPods left off on with many generations of 30 pin connectors. Before the first iPhone everyone already had 30 pin accessories and docks for the years of iPods they had around the house. Many people were upset because they were so invested in 30 pin accessories.

I got the 15 Pro Max, and I love it. I upgraded from the 13 Pro. Funny, though...I could never find a charger and now that I don't need it, we seem to have a ton of Lightening cables.

Is it too much to ask for a daily waveform episode? I look forward to these uploads all week and always get excited waking up on Friday mornings knowing that I have a waveform episode waiting for me! Your guys chemistry is so great and watching these episodes makes me feeling like I'm just hanging out in the room with all of you!

Daily? LOL they have other work to do. Parasocial relationships are not good for you

@@conrado800 fr like get a life (i wish they uploaded hourly)

That Marques reaction was the BEST!!

Rewatched the intro 5 times just to laugh along with you guys 😂

Parasocial activities

38:45 - The Nest Home Hub has a proximity sensor to sense if you're close to it or not. The palm gesture to pause/play music uses it but active timers fill the screen when you move further away from it

I use paint 3d extensively. It has functionality of paint, object separation, transparent background, subtract or add shapes to create complex shapes, etc.. I recently used it to design our kitchen. It was easy to navigate with touch and i can view it from any angle. It also provides various finishes for object surface. It is like autocad meets photoshop. Only thing i missed is i cannot stand inside the object(kitchen) to view it inside out - would very much like this feature.

Nest/Google Home Hubs do have proximity sensors and will show photos when you’re far from the device and then show home controls when you’re close.

The iphone 14 PM was my first iphone so seeing the 15 is my first time experiencing a new release and it is the exact same thing. Don't see how for years everyone always gets hyped for the new one

Hardly anyone does, only review youtuber do. People in general keep their iPhones for years. Same as with phones in general

Apple is pretty honest about you not needing to upgrade your iPhone every year but say someone who’s upgrading from 11 would need a comparison between 14 vs 15 and can be generally excited. No basic smartphone would see too much jump in anything from year to year whether its apple pixel or samsung unless someone had a horrible last release

Part of the reason it was so expensive to replace the back glass on older iphones was because they basically put your screen, front camera and face id sensor on a new iphone. the processor, port, battery, cameras and all the other goodies are attached to the backing that the glass is attached to. now they can just pull the broken glass off and place a new one on.

Shouldn’t it be like that from the beginning 🤔 (just replace broken glass with new one)

David is exactly right. To guarantee carbon neutral, Apple likely purchases carbon credits to guarantee its neutrality.

I had to doublecheck to make sure, but ultrasonic movement detection has been a feature of Echo devices since the spherical ones were released in 2020 (Gen 4). It sounds exactly like the "new" feature described at 49:07. Am I missing something?

Marques reaction to Dolphin emulator was great!

Because of the speaker with motion sensor. Aqara has a presence sensor named FP2 which can sense up to five people in the room. And you can setup zones and use these to create automation. For example, I sit on the couch and the ambient light turns on, TV turns on….

I love this podcast. Replaced Tested for me when they stopped

Official petition to make David wear round Harry Potter glasses in the next episode.

Agreed 😂😂

Apple could be reducing the carbon footprint of AWatches packaging and transport by selling a Watch only product without bands to those who have a drawer full of watch bands already. Is that too hard to manage or too much lost profits by having to lower the MSRP accordingly?

Regarding personal assistant devices: In 2018 I distinctly recall shouting at the echo in my work's office playing music and I shouted "ALEXA, SHUT THE F*#$ UP" and it stopped playing the music. I never felt so powerful.

About creating energy out of nothing, I think apple mentioned having an estimate about how much energy it takes on an average to charge an apple watch for its life cycle, and they are putting that much energy back into the grid generated through clean resources like solar and wind. So technically, yah you cannot create energy out of nothing but you are still not using any carbon based resources. Therefore, your clean energy into the grid is offsetting the carbon energy being taken out of the grid, hence carbon neutral.

This is the best day of my life ! (Ok not that excited) but I do find paint very useful and I’m excited for the new feature

I work as a packaging engineer. Almost always cost savings projects internally are shared as environmental wins externally. Also, the way they "guarantee" that it's carbon neutral is almost certainly by using LCA (life cycle analysis) which makes assumptions based on input to estimate life time emissions and environmental impacts.

14:40 - $549 was the cost of a replacement iPhone, so they wouldn’t actually replace the back glass, the whole device would be replaced. Now that the back glass is a serviceable part, they have an applicable price for that part.

I think the Xbox controller thumbstick layout feels more natural/comfortable. That’s why I prefer it. PlayStation just take some getting used to

Other way around. You never touched a PS controller.

I think these large language models would be much better spent as INTERPRETIVE AIs than GENERATIVE. Being able to communicate naturally with tech would be a huge QOL improvement, and much preferable to ripping off artists' works and replacing them.

Love the modded Casio 1200! Used it on my trip to Italy. Better than a smartwatch for easy time zone switching.

If 5x is 120 mm full frame equivalent, how do we expect 15x to even be a thing? It boggles the mind to think that phones are getting into the big white glass region. I’m still amazed that phone photos are as good as they are now.

Saw another video where someone took a 5x portrait and it was the best looking portrait on an iphone. Would love to see you guys try it.

I'm really looking forward to the Polestar 2 video, I drove one for 5 days on a trip to Pittsburgh as a rental and I have a lot of thoughts on it.

Not to mention it was the first time I've ever been in an EV, let alone driven one.

2:49 they do something called an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) that helps calculate the GHG emissions. Then the GHG emissions is calculated ProRata. Then they use Carbon Credits to offset those based on the calculations and assumptions. I think they mentioned it’s third-party assured so must’ve been assessed based on GHG Protocol Accounting rules!

10 years later I still get chills from this

I wonder what David was doing that would get him 3 days out of the older pro max phones cause, as someone with a 14 pro max, I rarely get a full day of charge.

That red and black combo is quite nice! Very nice box

I am always skeptical when corporations proclaim how good they are. Like that sketch-dramedy they did with mother nature...

HELL YEAH THE KID PIX SHOUTOUT. I had such a fantastic time with that program in elementary school. Thank you for the key memory unlock.

I would've left a USB-C to USB-C cable in the Polestar 2 when we dropped it off, but I totally forgot that new iPhones come with a C connector, lol!

All nest hubs has that same presence sensor. Google just do basic things with it, like if you're playing music and move away the controls go away and reappear when you come back.

Apple might end up slowing the A17 pro with future software updates to improve the battery life.

Def

I have a friend who just bought a 13 mini after using an original SE for ages, and he sent me a pic of the Lightning-TypeC charing cable asking wth that is and how to use it :)

I've refrained from asking David about his watch the past 3 weeks, I'm glad its finally reveal

I thought the boys will get their own seperate mics after having a taste from apple studio😂😂

Best part of my week!

I meannnnn Google’s cloud storage is the same $5 per terabyte. Seems to be the current going rate.

If there is a sliding scale between more power and battery efficiency, I’d rather get as much power as I can, and just achieve 24 hours because anything over that’s unnecessary I charge my phone every night to 100% of course but also when I’m in the car things like that I’d rather get more power instead of airing on the side of power conservation

You guys have to remember that the 30-pin connector was ubiquitous long before the iPhone because of iPod.

As someone who uses both PS5 and Xbox controllers very frequently, I definitely prefer the Xbox controller. It is more ergonomically comfortable, and a lot of PS5 controller capabilities are more annoying than useful. The haptic feedback is quite impressive, but the touchpad and motion sensing is pointless. Also, the speaker and adaptive triggers are cool for like 5 minutes, but now I turn them off as soon as I can when playing a game.

Never used a PS5

PS5 controller is the first PS controller that actually fits in a human hand. Until that came out it wasn't even close how much better Microsoft's controller was.

Thanks for the 15 Pro Max feedback! I won't be upgrading then. Saves me money for a PS5.

Pretty sure that you can invite anyone to Family sharing and share your iCloud as long as they have an Apple ID. They don’t exactly check anything. Unless you say it’s a child then you have to put in their birthdate.

AWESOME EPISODE!🤣

I have bought my eve spectrum monitor 4k 144hz 3 years ago and still loving it

My 12 Pro back glass broke, I put a skin on it and then a case on top of the skin works like a charm! Gave that to my mom when I upgraded

@wvfrm those back glass repair cost are for the US, read an article for France the price is still roughly steep: 1euro = 1$ front glass = 490euro back glass = 230euro both front and back = 609euro battery = 110euro back cameras = 300euro other up to 860euro

I watched this on my TV, and the quality is just 💥

It's just 1080p

@@LinKueiDragon Maybe for your device

yeah im keeping 14 pro max and waiting for to see what they put in the 16s next year

Thanks Andrew, my Echo looked up some lit ass movies. (Don’t watch the pod on speakers near an assistant)

Had the same reaction as Marques with the dolphin simulator!! Like, wait what??!!

Google pixel 8 should have all all the ai features it will be a great sell for average consumers

What an X-traordinary episode 😂

Have you considered the common battery life is because you transferred data from one to the other, you have the same stuff running in the background on both ?phones?

I’d love to see marques have a conversation with a computer scientist that works on ai, someone like Andrej Karpathy.

That's in the different YT channel tho.. The one with the lady, they talk about quantum computer stuff etc

@@farishakim6759 yeah but marques has also had guests on his show

Have been waiting for this all week! Weekend starts now in the UK :)

iOS 17 seems poorly optimized for battery, my 13 is sucking power like crazy after the update, maybe that’s the main problem with 15 Pro battery

Had the same issue on the 13 pro, I updated to iOS 17.0.1 and it seems better now though

What is Marques talking about Microsoft being 5 years late? If anything, doesn't Microsoft have a history of being too early with regards to a lot of products? Off the top of my head, a few products they should have waited on/were before their time: -OG touchscreen tablets back in the early 2000s -Netbooks (before Ultrabook processors were really a thing) -Car infotainment software (they had a big partnership with Ford, Sync?) -Non-skeuomorphic design -HoloLens/Mixed Reality

I always am so disappointed after I get the new iPhone. The only thing I like about it is the new lighter design and smaller frame. Everything else I’d prefer the 14 pro max

Always the highlight of my Friday youtube watching session. Still waiting on a review of the Galaxy Watch 6 which came out a month before the Apple watch......just saying 🤷🏿‍♂️

1:00:47 the Dualsense controller is a better controller, but the ergonomics and layout have always been better on Xbox. It’s mainly the thumbsticks, both of them low on the controller is so much less comfortable imo

Wrong

In the leaks for xbox they said that the new controller is going to have the same trigers and haptic fitback like PlayStation 5 controller

In the U.K. the 12TB plan costs way MORE than 6x the 2TB plan

00:32:00 happens often now and at first glance it’s not noticeable but then you do realize something seems not right at-least so far thats what I have noticed

Nest hub has Ultrasound sensing that changes the UI depending on how close you are 39:13

apple explained how its carbon neutral during the event, they said they reduced emissions by 78% and covered the rest with credits

The 30 pin was also use for YEARS prior to iPhone.

I’m glad iPhone repair costs are going down. It’s kinda funny and aggravating that my mom put a case on her iPhone and the back glass broke whereas I don’t use a case because my last iPhone 12 broke while walking in the rain and now I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I dropped it on concrete, hard floors, I tossed it at times. Not a dent to be seen, all without a $50 case. I kinda accepted that if my phone breaks, it will be expensive. And with a case, I had pretty bad luck. So I just appreciate the design for what it is and creates less weight or something.

59:17 has so much meme potential. That was awesome

For the iPhone pro battery life - could it be indexing in the background after setting it up the first time? AFAIK that could take as long as a week if you store a lot of stuff on your phone.

We've been using them for almost 2 weeks at this point. We're still doing battery testing, but since we review a LOT of phones we also have a lot of comparative data to go against - iPhone 12, 13, 14.

I bet the percentage of new iPhone 15 owners who do not already own USB C powered devices is incredibly small. It's an already well established ubiquitous standard. I'm a iPhone user and I have more than 10 devices with a USB C port, including a MacBook. Very different from the transition from 30 pin to Lightning.

Should note that the Ifixit score was just dropped as they Apple were trying to say repairablity improvements

Brought back memories of a microsoft concept video from 2000s early about xbox 2070 , it was round

In that article Sean wrote, someone had contacted the authorities somehow in Finland I believe about Dough.

In terms of talking to a climate expert about the carbon neutral Apple Watch — I wanna shout out Simon Clark! He’s a YouTuber with a doctorate in that stuff.
