EL NUEVO APPLE TV Y SU CONTROL REMOTO CON SIRI YA ESTÁN AQUÍ El nuevo Apple TV finalmente está aquí. El dispositivo incluye en su interior el chip A12 Bionic, que hará que la próxima generación del Apple TV sea más rápida y poderosa. Este nuevo modelo también cuenta con soporte a transmisión en 4K, pero además tendrá capacidades de calibración de balance de color, lo cual es fantástico para las personas que desean la mejor imagen posible pero no están muy familiarizadas con las técnicas de calibración. LOS NUEVOS IMAC CON PROCESADOR M1 LUCEN POTENTES, PERO SOBRE TODO BONITOS Los rumores eran ciertos. Apple acaba de presentar sus nuevos iMac con chip M1. Externamente son los primeros iMac de nueva generación en salir al mercado con colores diferentes del gris tradicional, además del Space Gray, los nuevos equipos estarán disponibles en siete colores como el arcoiris. APPLE ANUNCIA UN NUEVO COLOR “MORADO” DE IPHONE 12 Y 12 MINI Ya, esa es toda la noticia. EL NUEVO IPAD PRO TIENE EL MISMO PROCESADOR QUE LOS IMAC Y MACBOOK Además de nuevos iMac de 24 pulgadas con procesador M1, Apple ha anunciado hoy dos nuevos modelos de iPad Pro. También con procesador M1. El chip de arquitectura ARM ha dado el salto por primera vez a un dispositivo basado en el sistema operativo iPadOS. Según Apple, el procesador de ocho núcleos es hasta un 50% más rápido que el A12Z Bionic de los anteriores iPad Pro. Viene de dos tamaños, de 11 y 12,9 pulgadas, se pueden configurar con hasta 2 TB de almacenamiento de alta velocidad y 16 GB de memoria RAM, aunque parten de 128 GB de almacenamiento y 8 GB de memoria. LOS NUEVOS AIRTAG DE APPLE SIRVEN PARA ENCONTRAR OBJETOS PERDIDOS DESDE TU IPHONE Tras muchos rumores, Apple por fin ha presentado sus nuevos AirTag, un “tracker” diseñado para que nunca pierdas tus llaves, billetera, equipaje o cualquier cosa con la que lo uses, directamente desde tu iPhone o iPad. Estos trackers de forma circular tienen un precio de 29 dólares por unidad o 99 dólares por un pack de 4 AirTags. La idea de Apple es que añadas el AirTag a lo que quieras, como tu mochila o tus llaves, y puedas encontrar tus objetos si los extravías, desde la app “Encuentra mi” (Find My) de iOS. Cada AirTag cuenta con conexión por Bluetooth, acelerómetro y un altavoz incorporado.

All right, with me today, I have the usual group. We have Taylor Arndt, TAYLOR: Hello, everyone, MICHAEL: and Jason Earls. JASON: Hello, everybody. MICHAEL: All right, we have a great episode for you today. And you know, we've been gone for a few weeks. We had a kind of a crazy storm And then we wanted to get back on a regular schedule. So, we're back with a new episode to talk about all the interesting news that's happened recently and some rumors and news and a bunch of different things that have happened. So, let's jump right into it. Our main topic for today is the first news item, and that's the HomePod being discontinued. And I have very mixed opinions on this. JASON: I do too. I kind of understand why Apple discontinued the HomePod. Also, they discontinued the HomePod! It's okay, HomePod buddy, I still love you! As I pat my HomePod. MICHAEL: Didn't we have a hashtag for a while, pet the HomePod? JASON: I think we did. TAYLOR: Hilarious. JASON: I was just trying not to pat the screen because I didn't want music to happen, but that would have actually been really funny. MICHAEL: I think I have a picture of headphones sitting on a HomePod. JASON: Oh, yeah! The Andrea Cans! MICHAEL: Yeah, yeah. JASON: But yeah, on one hand, I understand why they did it because it was at launch a what, $350 Smart speaker that couldn't do terribly much more than play music. I mean yes, it sounded good, But you know, it's not what people were looking for in their smart speakers. Especially considering the likes of the Echo devices, the Google Home Hubs or Homes at the time. And you know, the HomePod's been around for like 4 years. So, in one respect, I kind of understand it. And you know, the HomePod Mini does have some features that the big HomePod doesn't have regarding the U1 chip and everything. But at the same time, the HomePod does sound so good! And as good as the Mini is and as great sales figures as the Mini is because of its price point and everything, you can't argue that it just does not sound as good as the big HomePod. TAYLOR: Right. But I think if we're thinking about it, the majority of consumers, they may not be in depth with audio and they may not understand that the HomePod sounds the way it is and that they want to pay for that. Because a lot of them just want to listen to music, and they want it to be portable. And so, that's where I think it's coming down to. Like, I understand why they they discontinued it, but yeah, it's kind of sad. I mean personally, I don't have a big HomePod, but that's because in a small apartment, I just don't have a lot of room. JASON: Right. And, you know, they did say that they are still going to push out software updates for the big HomePods and support the Apple Care which is good because I just got Apple Care last year. TAYLOR: Oh, that would stink otherwise. JASON: Right? But like, I really want them to come out with a bigger HomePod for 199. That's what I'm hoping for, even though they publicly said to I think it was like iMore or whatever that they were in fact focusing their efforts on HomePod Mini. Because let's think about it like this, the big HomePod — you know, Apple slash the price to 299, right? So, for $200. You could get two HomePod mini for less money than one bigger HomePod. Now, that doesn't mean it's going to have the bigger, basier sound of the HomePod, but at least you would get stereo audio and stuff. MICHAEL: Well, let's leave this part for the end because we're already kind of diving in. JASON: I know right? I like, I got thoughts I'm sorry. MICHAEL: But the other bit of news is the iMac Pro completely was discontinued and they're only selling them while supplies last JASON:That I'm not sad about. MICHAEL: In a way, I am. I think it was a great product, but I think we're about to see something new come from Apple. And as usual, we will be doing a live stream of that event. At least that's the plan. We'll be doing a live stream of the Apple event when it happens later this month. Because we do know for certain, right, that there is an apple event? JASON: I don't think we do know for certain. I just think speculations hide that there may be one, at least last I checked. But March 23 is the rumored date for the Apple event. I also haven't really looked at the news today. So things may have changed. But last I knew it was a hypothetical thing at this point. I mean, a highly likely thing at this point. MICHAEL: And I think it's because they're discontinuing these devices and the fact that we have so much information in the code about our next topic, and that's potential AirTags coming soon. Because there's mention of them in the find my app. TAYLOR: Yes, there is. MICHAEL: On the beta TAYLOR: Which is awesome because I've saw YouTube videos. Obviously, I don't have the beta myself, but I've seen YouTube videos that have mentioned it. Obviously, when you're on to prepare for the podcast just kind of looking at all the news. And but yeah, definitely pretty cool. And hopefully, hopefully they work. I mean, Tile's nice, but it'd be nice to have something built in and integrated for finding stuff. JASON: Right, and I guess Apple's opening up the FindMy protocol so that companies like Tile could take advantage of it as well. And it's nice to see that they are opening up more of their frameworks and things. MICHAEL: Well, and I think that's because there's been so much blame for antitrust and things between them and Google and things like that, that they're trying to make sure that they stay open — JASON: ahead of that, Yeah. MICHAEL: Because Google's had a lot of problems with that because they're in everything. The last bit of news that we have is, and I won't make any jokes, Jason, I won't do it, I won't do it. Those will be left for off the podcast, the BrailleSense 6. And I only make this joke because if you want to learn more, head to hims-inc.com/bs.6 . And I'm not kidding. Take all the jokes from that you can. JASON: Exactly. MICHAEL: Basically, we have the BrailleSense 6, and it was announced this week at CSUN. From what I've been able to tell, it was one of the biggest announcements because there weren't a lot of announcements this week. And the BrailleSense 6 dropped the Polaris naming. And it's Android 10, 120 Gigs of hard drive space, 80211AC wireless, a battery that while under load will drain 21% in an hour and a half if doing the max amount of work. That's the only battery statistic we can get. It has SD card slot, it has two USBA ports, a two USBC ports, a headphone jack, supports microphone, The, what is that called, Jason? JASON: I think it's TRRS, actually, I believe is the technical standard which is basically what this microphone that I'm using is, which is, think the older headphone jacks on the iPhones or the the headphone jack on the Mac. So it's that single microphone combo jack. MICHAEL: And it has all that, it has new software installed. And the person doing the presentation was using Zoom on the BrailleSense. So that's pretty promising. The only concerns I have are if it's going to get Android 11 and up, and how well the software is going to work because the Polaris had a lot of issues with deleting documents and things like that. JASON: Yeah, the BrailleSense Polaris is a very interesting device. I think it also actually Michael, in addition to the headphone jack, I think they said it also has a stereo line in Port as well. So you could connect music things to it, you know, binaural microphones really would work I would imagine to it. MICHAEL: Nice! JASON: Did you mention that it has 6 Gigs of RAM? MICHAEL: No, I did not. TAYLOR: Nope, you didn't JASON: So yeah, it's got six Gigs of RAM, an 8 core CPU. I don't remember if they announced the clock speeds of it, but — MICHAEL: It didn't. JASON: So, it really does seem like a very interesting device and — MICHAEL: And it's gonna cost 5799, come out in June. TAYLOR: Yeah. Wow. That's a lot of money. JASON: So we do know, the battery will be user replaceable though because they talked about that at the CSUN announcement I think MICHAEL: they do offer financing and trade ins for your older devices, so those are options to get you a lot closer in price to those devices. So JASON: Yeah, it's a very interesting device. I do worry what the battery life is really going to be like, TAYLOR: Right, and also if it can — like some note takers have a problem where they fall behind mainstream. And so that's the other concern too, is that like, you buy the $6,000 device almost. Well, it's already running two versions behind of Android almost at this point. 12 is beta. So that's the other thing too. These notetakers I mean, they're great for what they are, but you know, it's a specialized thing, and they're not always up to date. JASON: Like I said to you guys, I think off the show, if I were to get a note taker, it would probably be the BrailleSense. You know, the BrailleSense 6. It's so weird that they don't have a name for it now. TAYLOR: I know. MICHAEL: Alright, you know, and we could have a whole episode on notetakers, but I think we would want to have somebody on that can talk more about Braille and mainstream versus notetaker because I think that would be a very cool discussion. So TAYLOR: Yes. JASON: Yeah, I do too. Because I mean, I've used the BrailleSense in the past, but the BrailleSense I used was, I think, even before the U2. So, it was definitely not any of the Android based BrailleSense devices. So MICHAEL: Another thing that's happened, the last news topic I really could think about, is Android 12 is in technical preview. We really haven't talked about that. And I hear it brings a whole lot of user interface changes, but not a lot of — you're not going to be able to notice it very much with Talkback. JASON: Yeah, that's true. I have been playing a little bit with the beta. After a couple false starts, I eventually got it on my Pixel. I accidentally installed the version of Android, that AOSP version, so it didn't actually have a screen reader which is why I wasn't getting speech. TAYLOR: Oh, no. How did you fix that? JASON: I pre flashed it — MICHAEL: Very carefully. JASON: I was — TAYLOR: Yeah, very carefully. JASON: Yeah, very carefully. So yeah, I reflashed it, because you can actually go to the Google developer site, and you can actually use their online flash tool, and it will basically do all the work for you MICHAEL: Online? That's cool! JASON: It downloads the image to the device, you have to enable some things like OAM Unlock, and whatnot, it'll download the image to the device, and it will tell you when it's safe to unplug your phone at which point it should be booting into the beta of Android. MICHAEL: That's fancy. JASON: I know. MICHAEL: And talk about the security implications there. I mean, it's Google, and they have all the security keys and all that. But could you imagine if somebody were to spoof that, and be able to put a knot legit version of Android from a website? JASON: Yeah, I know. I did actually think about that. And then I stopped thinking about it. TAYLOR: That might have been a good idea. JASON: But like I said, I do have Android 12 installed. I don't notice too much of a difference. Although honestly, my Pixels not my primary driver, my primary driver's my iPhone. So what I can say though, is that 12 does seem to be relatively stable. And along with the introduction of Talkback 9.1 which is not specific to Android 12, I do think that the Android experience is going to improve a bit which is nice and awesome to see. MICHAEL: Yeah. So, it's really cool that, you know, we have the ability to flash these devices remotely. I think it's really neat. But we'll have more information about what's in the beta for Android 12 in a future episode, but I think it's really cool that we have the ability to do that, and to try these things before they come out, you know, iOS, Android, Windows through the Windows Insider program, and things like that. JASON: I think the one thing that was kind of annoying to me though is — and maybe it's just I did it in a way that made this happen. But it ended up forcing me to reset my phone to flash the version of Android 12 on to it. And of course, when I had the version without talkback, I didn't mind resetting my phone. And I think if you downgrade back to Android 11, I believe it will make you reset as well. They do tell you that. So MICHAEL: you know, I love how my watch made a noise even though I have — typically if I mute my phone, my watch will mute with it, but not this time. JASON: Oh, interesting. MICHAEL: Yeah, usually it mirrors but not this time, that's interesting. All right, so for our ad part of the show today, I want to talk to you guys about app development services that's offered by iAccessibility. iAccessibility offers app development services for iOS and Android at $50 an hour where we will build your app from the ground up based on your website or however, whatever app you're trying to build. And the app will be accessible and usable by all users. Unless it's a game that you really need specific use cases. We'll still try to make it as accessible as possible, though. So,, we've built apps like VO Starter, we've built apps like Pocket Braille, Blind Bargains, ACB Link, And that's just a few of the different apps on a lot of platforms that have been created. So $50 an hour minimum of $1,000 and you can have your app in the iOS and Google Play app stores. So you can go to iaccessibility.net to learn more, and we will be promoting that more on the website. So, people look out and we'll have more information. So thanks for listening to the iACast. And now on to our main topic for today. And we've already talked a little bit about that, and it's Apple discontinuing products like the HomePod. And you guys, I — this is — I feel like this is the most products that Apple's discontinued at one time. And you know, Microsoft has done it. I mean, they discontinued a whole store line. Google, Google is the project killer, they are known for that. Do you guys think Apple's kind of jumping on board that train, JASON: I think in a way they are. I really think what they're trying to do is they're trying to streamline their product line, and you know, not have so many variations of things around. Especially in the case of the iMac Pro. I keep wanting to call it the MacBook Pro. That is a different product. But the iMac Pro because they really want us all to move over to Apple silicon, which, you know, I'm personally fine with. So I really think that's part of it. And, you know, as far as the HomePod, I like to think that they have something new planned to replace this beautiful, soft, lovely mesh, big HomePod that I'm totally like rubbing a finger against right now because it just, it's fun! MICHAEL: Hashtag pet the HomePod. JASON: Exactly. But you know, I really hope that they do have something to replace the bigger HomePod with at some point soon. Because, yeah. TAYLOR: Yeah. So the thing with that is that, I think, like I said, a lot of these companies are doing that right now. They're just trying to streamline. And you know, Google has been doing it for years. Microsoft kills things. But Apple, like I said, this is really a first. They don't really do this all that often. And so, either one of two things, they either have a lot more products coming and they need to get rid of stuff, or they're just trying to streamline because a COVID and everything, obviously, but we've been in COVID for over a year now. So who knows. You know, they're just trying to get things streamline. Or if they are trying to add new products, but they need to get rid of some first. MICHAEL: And it might be — it might just be that they don't plan to update. Oh, well, actually, you know what? I think the Home Pod runs on the processor that the iPhone seven runs on. Isn't it, Jason? JASON: The big HomePod? Yeah, it's the A8. MICHAEL: Oh, wow. And I think that's the next on the chopping block this year, guys. TAYLOR: iPhone seven, you think next? JASON: I think well, the seven has the A9, right? MICHAEL: I don't remember — JASON: No, wait a minute. No, I think the A8 is from the iPhone 6. Actually. MICHAEL: But I remember the 6S is the last version — iOS runs on the 6S. And so I bet the iPhone seven will be the final version that 15 will run on. JASON: Oh, that's possible. I mean, at the same time, they did actually change the foundation according to some tech sites. They did change the foundation of what HomePod OS was. So for a while it was based on a foundation of iOS. And then I don't remember when this happened. But supposedly they ended up changing the foundation from iOS to TV OS so that it wouldn't have as much code and things in in the OS that isn't really needed and used by the HomePod. So I was kind of not expecting to see the cancellation of the big HomePod for another year or two yet. I was a bit surprised. But maybe — I mean, I was going to say maybe this has something to do too, with the silicon chip shortage. But that would probably be more to do with the Mac, I would think maybe then the homePod. MICHAEL: Well, it's interesting because I'm wondering if they're going to rename the HomePod Mini eventually to something else. Or if we're going to have the HomePod Pro, come out and then put a new device in later on in the HomePod category JASON: Right, or the HomePod Max. TAYLOR: Right, or the HomePod Pro Max. JASON: I don't think they'll do Pro — well, I lie, 12 Pro. — MICHAEL: If you think about it, on the Mac, we don't have a MacBook, we have the Mac Mini, the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. We don't have a Mac Book or the Mac. TAYLOR: Oh, right. MICHAEL: So that might be kind of the landscape we're looking at for HomePod for a while. JASON: Maybe. MICHAEL: Because if you notice the mac book that came out like 2015-2016– JASON: 2015-2016, I think 2016, yeah. MICHAEL: It was short lived as well. So you know we have the air and the pro that are still around but the flagship name was was discontinued quick on that line too. So that's kind of interesting to think about. JASON: Yeah, it really is. And I think the one thing that's keeping me from being complete and utter 100% distraught that the big HomePod is being discontinued is just the fact that the — and I think I said this before, that Apple did say that they are still going to issue software updates for the big home pods for the time being, and supported still through Apple Care. MICHAEL: I'm wondering if you put two HomePod minis in a room, if you get the same quality sound as one big HomePod, JASON: I think you would get the same overall quality sound, because the HomePod Mini does seem like it sounds very similar to the big HomePod just without that deep low bass that the big ones can hit. MICHAEL: Yeah. And I don't know, it's to the point where when we look at these devices, it's hard to it's, and you know, maybe I'm just, my train of thought just keeps going all over the place. But the more I think about things, maybe this is a way for tech companies to dispel rumors and leaks by just saying, we're going to discontinue this, we're going to change this. And so it kind of throws people off to know what the next step is going to be. JASON: Yeah, maybe. I think though, in the case of the iMac pro being discontinued, we all know, it's most likely going to be because we're going to be seeing an apple silicon based iMac. Now whether we see that on March 23, which I personally don't think we'll see. I will say that on the show. And I'll be very happy to be wrong. But I don't think we're going to see that on the 23rd. MICHAEL: I think we will, I think that's going to be the focus is iMacs this year. JASON: I don't know, I think we might see things about AirTags and iPad pros and stuff, but we'll see. If I'm wrong. I'll be happy. Michael: See, maybe we need to come up with the accessibility pool. Because what I think we're gonna see and take your bets people. TAYLOR: Okay, MICHAEL: I think we're gonna see iMacs, colored iMacs, I don't think we're gonna see iPads just yet. But that's just me. Now, in saying that, iPads have come out in March before. So it's not out of the norm. But IMAX used to be used for education as well. And so if they bring out the colored iMacs like they had for education in the past and kind of marketed towards that, I could definitely see that being a march thing. And plus, iPad Pro has typically has an 18 month life cycle. It's only been 11 months since iPads have come out. So in other words, this is Michael trying to say please let my iPad be relevant in April. TAYLOR: Well, I have to agree with Jason on this one, Michael. Because, like I said, with all the evidence and stuff, I think it's gonna be AirTags and stuff. But again, if I'm wrong, I'll be more than happy to admit it. But I really think I have to agree with Jason, Michael. MICHAEL: And who knows, we may see all these things. I doubt it but TAYLOR: That'd crazy. JASON: no, you know what's really gonna happen. Apple's not actually going to have a product event on the 23rd, they're going to just announced their new products quietly on their site. And then we'll all be wrong. MICHAEL: And it could happen, it could happen. JASON: I do think though regardless, as sad as I am to see the big HomePod be discontinued, and like I said, me personally, I'm not terribly upset about the iMac pros cancellation and we're excited because, you know, that just tells me to watch out for the iMac. Not that I'm going to get one but it's still always fun to see what they're going to come out with. I still enjoy my HomePod. You know, I still plan on using it until something happens. Like, if nothing else using it until Apple decides they're not going to update it anymore. Whenever that may be, so. MICHAEL: Well, and that shows me that them discontinuing these things that just, especially on the iMac side it means that they have something new coming around the corner and they may decide that the pro line of iMac just isn't needed anymore because of what the A1 and A1x will do for these devices. I mean — JASON: You mean the M1? MICHAEL: Yeah, the M1. JASON: It's a processor, Michael it's not steak sauce. TAYLOR & MICHAEL: Right. MICHAEL: That needs to be the name of an episode sometime. Our previous episode title we came up with it is going to be it. JASON: Yeah, but that would be hilarious. 156 It's a processor not steak sauce. MICHAEL: All right. And you know, I wonder if that's why they started with a4S. JASON: I don't know. MICHAEL: Because Could you imagine Apple naming, now introducing our first processor line, the A1. JASON: and then Could you imagine the hilarity in covering the lawsuits, if that would even happen. That'd be funny. MICHAEL: Anyway, would that'd be a coprocessor for for Intel the A1 because it has to go along with it to make it better? TAYLOR: I don't know, would it be? That's your call. MICHAEL: I mean, if we're comparing Intel to steak there would be A1 processor from Apple to JASON: They'll call it, I don't know, I was gonna say steak Lake, but that just sounds weird. Dinner Lake, MICHAEL: Dinner lake. All right, out there. There you go Intel. When you come out with that chip that everybody wants just say time for dinner. Like, JASON: Exactly. MICHAEL: Anyway, I think this is the most jokes we've told in a podcast. And I really think that the M1X will really be like, there's no pro version of that, there's no way to up the process or on that. So there's, on the Intel iMacs, you can get i5, I7, I9, and you have the better display on the Pro, which they can still do the better display. But if the display is already going to be amazing in these new iMacs with the new chips, then they don't have a need to do that. So, there may not need to be an iMac pro because the new iMac will just be able to boast that it's pro already with the built in Apple silicon. JASON: And that was kind of my thinking, when I first read about the cancellation of the iMac Pro, I was actually thinking as you were talking and I don't really think Apple's gonna do this, if they came out with instead of the M1x. Or the M1 2, having the M1 Pro, but I really don't think they would do that, considering they already have products in their pro line that have the M1 and that would confuse people. MICHAEL: Right. But, you know, I just think that they're going to, I think that they — now that we're looking at coming slowly out of COVID, they're going to be looking for the best way to sell their products. And if you could just say, look at the shiny new products we have in our stores aren't aren't these amazing, people are going to want them and especially if they start doing these colors, like they've shown on concept art and things like that, that that are rumored, that's just going to be amazing. JASON: I mean, look at how popular the new Macs have been already, you know, because working from home and they've got that long battery life and the slightly upgraded camera because of the ISP MICHAEL: And you know, I'm doing all this on an M1 Mac, the recording and Zoom, and all that. And I keep telling people it's the better of the two machines. I mean, this is still a terrible camera, but I'm looking at my face on here. And it looks a lot better than my other Mac did, by far. So Apple has really gone a long way with what they're doing. All right, do you guys have any final comments we want to give before we wrap up today? JASON: Steak! MICHAEL: Yes. TAYLOR: Oh my God! JASON: No, I'm kidding. But you know, it's very interesting to see these product cancellations. I keep flitting between I'm sad, especially for the HomePod. And it's because there's going to be something new, like, a lot of me is just like, This has to because there's something new. So it's going to be very interesting to see what actually ends up happening. MICHAEL: Well, you know, the interesting thing, I want to point this out. The interesting thing about the home pod Mini is you don't need to plug those into the wall. JASON: Right. MICHAEL: And that's really interesting. I mean, you could build a USBC — you could buy a USBC hub, plug it into the wall and have five home pod minis hooked up to that thing — TAYLOR: In a power strip. Yeah. MICHAEL: Well, not even a power strip, just a USBC hub. TAYLOR: Oh, wow. Oh, yeah because it doesn't even plug in to the wall. Wow, I'm not thinking JASON: Or a battery pack. MICHAEL: Yeah, you could hook it up to a battery pack. And so that makes it almost more usable than the echo. TAYLOR: Yes, Yes! MICHAEL: And so I think that's why Apple really wants to focus on that because they're like, there's so much possibility here. TAYLOR: I wouldn't blame them. MICHAEL: I mean, it sounds better than any echo. I'm sure. I don't know, I haven't heard one yet. But JASON: Review say they do. MICHAEL: So, you know you put a few in a room. You're gonna get good audio. The only thing that you can't do is use the standard stereo speaker — or TV speakers. JASON: You can, they just won't — I just don't think they'll do Dolby Atmos and stuff that the big HomePods do. MICHAEL: How would you do — oh, well, Apple TV speakers, but how would you use the standard TV speakers? JASON: Oh, okay. Yeah, I misheard. I thought you said Apple TV. Yeah, you can't use Well, you can't even use a big HomePod as a standard TV speaker. So that's not MICHAEL: It's not new. Could you imagine if they came out with the HomePod sub where you had 2 of the apple speakers of the homepod minis as your regular speakers? Now, that's a possibility. JASON: That's actually funny that you mentioned that because I was talking to somebody pre show about that. And what they had said is, Apple comes out with this sub and then gives it 2 USB C ports so that you can plug two HomePods directly into the wall or something. I don't know if that is what they're going to do. But that would certainly be interesting. It'll definitely help with the idea of, I want to have stereo speakers, but I need two outlets if they decided to go that route. So who knows? MICHAEL: Yeah, I'm really excited to see what they do. I mean, if they bring out a HomePod sub, I will press that Buy button immediately. I'm not kidding that if they did that, you know, I would buy a home pod sub. And it kind of makes sense, guys, I think that's actually probably what they're going to do. Because it would make money for them. If you had to buy two HomePod Minis and A HomePod sub. Let's price the sub at $200. They're making $50 more off of you then if you bought one HomePod. Now, granted, they're not going to make 600 or $700 if you had to buy two regular HomePods. But, who's gonna do that anyway? TAYLOR: Right. JASON: Yeah, that's true. I think though, the only downside to this is, as it stands right now, if you were looking to buy HomePods, new, that would do Dolby Atmos, you can't, because that was a feature specific to the bigger HomePods. And I don't know if it's because the eight is more powerful than the S5 or whatever CPU the minis have inside, I think it's the S5 or if it's just that the Mini. , I mean, the big HomePod has more microphones, and it's not limited to the chip. But as of right now, you can't buy new home pods directly from Apple. If you want to do Dolby Atmos. MICHAEL: actually you can for right now during the time of this recording, but. JASON: I didn't even see a link in the store for the HomePod when I last looked. MICHAEL: So I just looked, and they're still in the Apple Store app for 299. You can pick either one. JASON: Oh, they have the Space Gray ones back? MICHAEL: Yeah, they're showing both of them, at least when I looked it showed a picture showing both of them. JASON: Oh, that's interesting, because I knew for a while that they only had the white ones around. And it's very interesting then that I couldn't get to them. Because on the Apple Store, on Apple's website, if you wanted to see the HomePods, the only way it was able to find them is by going under the Apple Music link. And they talked about the HomePods and the AirPods and the AirPods Max. The only HomePod they listed was the HomePod Mini. Whereas the big HomePod used to be there. So that's interesting that they still show up in the Apple Store — MICHAEL: Yep, they are in the Aplle Store app. Yeah. JASON: And of course you can buy them from other retailers. It's not just Apple that sells the HomePods but MICHAEL: And since they're discontinued, I would wait so you can get them from Best Buy or somewhere else where they will be much cheaper. TAYLOR: Yep. JASON: Just keep in mind, if you're going to go that route, that we don't know how long Apple is going to support the big HomePods with software updates, even — All we know is that they are still going to support them. MICHAEL: Alright, well, that's gonna do it for our show today. Jason, to end us off for today, where can people find you online? And what's your pick? JASON: So my pick is, funnily enough, not an Apple product, but rather a Google product. MICHAEL: Ah, just wait. It'll be discontinued at some point. TAYLOR: Probably Well, next week. JASON: Specifically, my pick is talkback version 9.1. And I pick it because it enhances talkback by allowing you to use multi finger gestures. Finally, it has a Braille keyboard. Although, the Braille keyboards been there since 8.4 I think it was? But I really find I like the multi finger gestures. I like the new unified talkback menu. And it's just, I just love this version of talkback compared to the older ones, because I can disable the angular gestures and the proximity sensor silencing speech. I can turn that off now because you can now tap with two fingers to pause speech. MICHAEL: Oh, that's fantastic. JASON: And the magic tap gesture for iOS users is there. And so it's really nice. You know, they don't have the rotor as such. I mean, you can't rotate two fingers on the screen or whatever, but they definitely do have an easy way to navigate, granularity and stuff now and it's all customized Pretty much. So talkback 9.1 it's pretty nice. So that is my pick. As far as where people can find me, you can find me producing content for iAccessibility, you can email me at Jason@iaccessibility.net. And you can also follow me on twitter at jde 1. I know that I have been giving my Facebook out in past episodes, I have decided that I will no longer give that out. I no longer have the app installed. So yeah, those are the ways you can follow me, find me email emailing me and following me on on Twitter. And if you catch me in clubhouse, then feel free to say hi, MICHAEL: All right, Taylor, what's your pick for the week? And where can people find you online? TAYLOR: Okay, so my pick is a little technical. So I'm going to explain it. I pick generate press. And for those who don't know, Generatepress is a WordPress theme. And a WordPress theme is basically a thing that will help enhance the visuals of your site. So it basically helps make your site look the way it looks. In a short version. I mean, like a short description. So what it will do is it is really awesome, because you can customize every part of your site. And the cool part is that it's fully accessible. There are two versions free and premium. The free theme is literally just you go download it from wordpress.org theme directory, and the paid one is a paid plugin. I believe it's 59 a year or what? I can't rember the lifetime of like 249 lifetime Michael? MICHAEL: I didn't see a life. Yeah, I think it's 250 lifetime TAYLOR: Okay, so I really love Generatepress thanks to Michael Babcock and dimasi Thomas for mentioning those to me in a Clubhouse room. Where you can find me online, I'm all over the web. Literally, I have a YouTube channel that I would like you guys to check out, Taylor's Tech Talks. And that also has a podcast now. So if you like hearing from me, you can hear from me and both of those places. I also am on Twitter and clubhouse you can email me at Taylor@iAccessibility.net. And follow me on Twitter, Taylor_arndt22. And I am also producing content for iAccessibility. MICHAEL: Alright, so my pick for this week is a book series I'm reading called Expeditionary Force. And the first book in this series is called Columbus Day. The author is, I believe his name is Craig allanson. And he he has written several books in this series. And it's an awesome, awesome book series, The sci fi series about aliens taking over Earth, and about how humanity kind of steals a ship and goes out in the galaxy to kind of protect Earth. So there's an AI That's hilarious. And I'm not going to give anything more away about the series. But check it out. Highly recommend it. I'm on the third book right now. And I've been reading it for about two weeks and each books about 15 hours on Audible. So that tells you how dedicated to this series I am. So highly recommend it. As for where you can find me. You can find me producing content for iAccessibility. You can email me at mikedoise@iAccessibility.net. I'm Mike, always on Twitter, and on Facebook, just search for Michael Doise. And you go to Michaeldoise.com from my website, and I have a YouTube channel that I'm trying to make time to work on. And you know, I have content everywhere. And yeah, just very excited to be on clubhouse. I'm there as well. So find me on clubhouse. Just search for Michael Doise, and we even now, here's an announcement. We have a club. We're all fancy and everything we have the iAccessibility network club. In fact, after this recording, we will be on clubhouse doing a after episode kind of a discussion to talk about these things. So come hang out with us on clubhouse as we talk about today's episode. So we hope that you have enjoyed this episode of the IiACast. And we'll be back in two weeks for another episode. And it's been awesome getting to talk about all these things with you guys, Jason and Taylor.

En este episodio te comparto la importancia crear conciencia sobre el uso de las muletillas en tu podcast para crecer como comunicadores y fortalecer nuestro mensaje. Escucharás qué son las muletillas, cómo estas pueden afectar tu mensaje y tu desempeño, sobre todo en entrevistas cuando nos toca improvisar ya que nunca tenemos la certeza de qué exactamente nos preguntarán. Además, comparto una breve lista de palabras, sonidos y frases comúnmente utilizadas como muletillas o comodines así como 5 Recomendaciones prácticas para reducir el uso excesivo de estas muletillas. #1. Usar un libreto o crear un bosquejo. #2. Hacer pausas #3. Escuchar tu podcast con detenimiento para anotar y contabilizar las muletillas más utilizadas. #4. Ampliar tu vocabulario #5. Practica la improvisación.  Aunque no se menciona en el episodio, las clases de actuación o improvisación teatral pueden ser muy útiles para practicar dicha habilidad. En el episodio hago referencia a la organización Toastmasters International, la cual ha sido clave en mi crecimiento y desarrollo como comunicadora. Te invito a conocer más sobre esta organización y cómo puedes beneficiarte de su programa educativo. ***Únete a nuestra red de colaboradores en Patreon y recibe acceso temprano a nuestros nuevos episodios, y a las citas más memorables o los libretos utilizados (de los solocasts), referencias y fuentes de información utilizadas y contenido exclusivo como tutoriales cortos en video y otros beneficios!

En este episodio conversamos con la podcaster Zair Dalí del podcast El ABC de la Productividad. Zair nos cuenta cómo se interesó en el tema de la productividad; cómo llegó al podcasting; su sistema de 4 pasos para organizarse para producir el podcast; sobre su libro y sobre los 3 pilares. A continuación un resumen de algunos de los temas que conversamos: Al organizar una empresa en NY, descubrió su pasión por crear sistemas productivos y organización para que los empleados fueran más eficientes y más rápidos. En su emprendimiento apoya a mujeres Latinas a crear planes organizados y productivos que las ayuden a lograr sus metas. En un momento dado tenía un empleo a tiempo completo, y otros dos empleos a tiempo parcial mientras desarrollaba su emprendimiento. Le tocó organizarse para desarrollar sus proyectos y dedicar espacios a educarse y aprender de otros para manejar su tiempo, automatizar procesos y liberar su tiempo. “La productividad no es una camisa de fuerza que le funcione igual a todo el mundo.” - Zair Dalí Aunque al principio sentía que el podcasting no era lo de ella, decidió continuar y ser persistente. Su podcast ha tenido una gran acogida. Utiliza Trello, aplicación digital para organizar sus proyectos. Recomendación: No buscar la perfección. Trabajar con el producto mínimo viable. Trabaja el tema de organización y productividad de adentro hacia afuera. I Identificó 3 pilares: conciencia, optimización y perseverancia. Anuncia el lanzamiento de su libro: Conviértete en la mujer que mereces ser: Productividad y Organización para alcanzar tus sueños ¡Contacta a Zair Dalí!

En este episodio conversamos con Tonia Maffeo de Spreaker sobre servicios de alojamiento para podcasts. Ella nos comparte las consideraciones que deben tomar en cuenta los podcasters a la hora de elegir un servicio de "hosting" para su podcast más allá del costo mensual.  A continuación, algunos de los puntos más importantes de nuestra conversación: Voxnest - Empresa madre de Spreaker (servicio de alojamiento lanzado en el 2010) Tonia Maffeo es la Jefa de Marketing de Voxnest y lleva trabajando en Spreaker desde sus inicios en el 2010.  Comenzó con Spreaker en Italia junto a sus fundadores eran unas 4 personas y hoy son más de 50 personas. Se ocupa de Marketing, la Comunidad y el crecimiento del Podcasting en general.  Se ha dedicado a educar sobre podcasting.  Ha aumentado el interés hacia el podcasting y ha aumentado la cantidad de preguntas que se reciben al respecto. A partir del 2014 se ha puesto de moda el podcasting. Durante el Lockdown el podcast ha tenido un crecimiento y una mejoría a nivel de escucha y penetración en términos del hábito de escuchar podcasts en muchos países. Los mayores desafíos a la hora de lanzar y tener éxito con un podcast es técnico (cómo se hace un podcast, dónde publicarlo, qué tienen que hacer las personas para escucharlo, etc.) No hay una regla que funcione para todos. Dependiendo del contenido puedes tener una fórmula que funcione mejor que otra (en tiempo de duración o con qué frecuencia debes publicar) Hay que entender cuál es el proyecto que quieres hacer como podcast y tener un feedback o una consultoría individual con personas con más experiencia. Spreaker procura producir contenido de calidad, atender a la mayoría de las preguntas y tener la oportunidad de hablar con los podcasters individualmente, entender sus proyectos, el objetivo final para apoyar determinar la estrategia final. Qué elementos debe considerar un podcaster a la hora de elegir un servicio de alojamiento más allá del precio: Fiabilidad - que no vaya a desaparecer la plataforma y que no atente contra los derechos de autor de tu contenido. Accesibilidad - Sencillez o simplicidad en el manejo de la plataforma, o sea apoyarte a producir tu podcast, de forma fácil y rápida. Oferta - Cómo evoluciona con el paso del tiempo y de acuerdo a los cambios del mercado (ejemplo: datos de escucha compliant con IAB, distribución a múltiples plataformas). Spreaker cuenta con el Spreaker Studio (una aplicación descargable) que permite a los podcasters transmitir su podcast EN VIVO. Funciona como una mesa de mezcla y te permite “chatear” con la audiencia y compartir efectos especiales e incluso otros archivos de audio. Otro beneficio: la distribución a múltiples plataformas en un solo click Monetización: tienen la opción de monetización programática o la opción de tener episodios especiales en un feed privado para oyentes que pagan un “fee”. En Estados Unidos, tienen podcasters que ganan $3,000 dólares al mes con unas 20 a 30 mil impresiones. En América Latina tienen personas ganando alrededor de $300 al mes. Tonia apuesta que el próximo año tendrán ese cero adicional. El CPM es más alto que el de YouTube Adsense. Tonia piensa que la diferencia en ingresos entre los podcasters en Estados Unidos vs América Latina, se debe mayormente a la inversión por parte de las empresas. El podcast ha entrado en la costumbre de muchas audiencias. Tips de Tonia: Tener una estrategia - saber por qué lo haces, cómo lo vas a hacer, a quién va dirigido, quién es tu oyente final Mantener el enfoque - no ponerse a experimentar mucho durante los primeros 10 episodios. Hay que mantener un ritmo en la conversación.  Cuál es el enfoque para los próximos años: Conectar con la mayor cantidad de plataformas externas en el mercado posibles (edición, creación de audiogramas) Crear valor directo dentro del producto (apoyar al podcaster a lograr sus objetivos) Contacto: Tonia@spreaker.com Para acceso a las notas completas del episodio, te invitamos a apoyar nuestro podcast en Patreon. ***Si deseas apoyar la producción de este podcast a través Patreon y recibe acceso temprano a nuestros nuevos episodios, y a las citas más memorables o los libretos utilizados (de los solocasts), referencias y fuentes de información utilizadas y contenido exclusivo como tutoriales cortos en video y otros beneficios!

Already sold out for 1-2 weeks! Thinner, and even smaller.  12.9” now the size of a sheet of paper. No headphone jack... Big performance increases, big price increases. Start price is now about 20% higher. 11-inch models start at $799 (Wi-Fi) and $949 (Wi-Fi + Cellular), while 12.9-inch models start at $999 iPad Pro comes with Apple's next-generation Neural Engine for advanced machine learning  This is the first gadget besides iPhone that will include FaceID.   Powered by the new A12X Bionic chip A12X Bionic has eight cores (four performance cores and four efficiency cores) and per Apple provide up to 35 percent faster single-core performance.  Seven-core GPU to deliver up to twice the graphics performance.  They say it’s now as powerful as an Xbox One S console. USB-C connector is replacing the Lightning connector, Allows iPad to charge your iphone What can connect to the iPad?  USB Hubs?  Hard Drives?  Printers?  Even Apple said they weren’t sure when The Verge asked them. Connect to external displays up to 5K… but why? Still no file system. No mouse support. Apple is trying to position this as a laptop, but it’s not a laptop. Apple Pencil 2 gets magnetic connection and charging, better iOS integration, and a 30% higher price tag (now $130) BTW: Previous 10.5” iPad is still available, and still for the same 64GB base price of $649.  256 and 512 models are also still available.       Macbook Air - a confusing product Newest gen Amberlake 8th gen dual core CPU Complete overhaul Retina Display New 3rd get butterly keyboard TouchID Larger Force Touch track pad Made from 100% garbage Also gets a 20% increase in price for the base model with 128GB, now $1200. Previous model is still available for the same $1000 price tag. Maxed out model with 16GB of RAM and 1.5TB - $2600 MacBook is now more expensive than the Air, starting at $1,299 and it has a slower processor, a smaller screen and it has fewer upgrade options. MBA now just $100 than the 13” MacBook Pro with faster processor and Intel Iris graphics.   Mac Mini Full overhaul Space Gray finish HDMI 2.0 two USB 3 ports four Thunderbolt 3 ports a headphone jack  and — for an extra $100 — a 10-gigabit ethernet port. With the Thunderbolt 3 ports A new cooling system doubles the airflow, allowing the machine to run at a maximum sustained power that is 70 percent higher than before According to Geekbench 4 scores, the base 4-core CPU has close to the same performance of the base 2017 5K iMac. $799 base model comes with 128GB of SSD, a  quad core 8th gen coffeecake i3 CPU with no turbo boost or hyper threading, and 8GB of ram. The maxed out with 64GB of RAM, 2TB SSD, and 6-core i7 CPU is a mere $4200. But the huge omission here is the Intel UHD Graphics 630.  There is no option to upgrade.     MacBook Pro    New MacBook Pros with updated graphics are coming next month https://www.cultofmac.com/586666/new-macbook-pro-graphics/ Apple has screwed us, their loyal pro users. Just about 3 months ago, on July 12, 2018, Apple introduced refreshed MacBook Pro models aimed at professional users, with the long awaited 6-core Coffee lake processors, up to 32GB of RAM, and slightly better GPUs.  Apple positioned these as video editing dream machines. It had been years since a compeling MBP update, so people were excited and scooped them up when they went on sale. But the graphics cards on these new MBPs were only minor spec bumps. The 560X was just a spec bumped 560, which was itself only a spec bump’d 460. Fast forward to this week, Apple has announced they will be offering a massive upgrade option to the Radeon Pro Vega GPUs, the same ones offered in the iMac Pro.  These new graphics options offer up to 60 perfect faster graphics performance in video editing, 3D design, and rendering workloads…  you know, the exact things people are BUYING THIS FCKING MBP FOR. Clearly, Apple knew they were going to offer this upgrade, but they didn’t tell us.   Why?  Because they knew many of us might wait to buy, and they wanted our money.   5 things we didn’t get at Apple’s ‘More in the Making’ event https://www.cultofmac.com/586726/apple-october-press-event-airpower-ipad-mini-airpods/

Adam, Jerod, and Tim get together to put a spotlight on Apple’s October 30th Mac/iPad event from a developer’s perspective. They cover the specs of the new MacBook Air and the viability of having it as a development machine, the new Mac Mini in the ever popular Space Gray, and whether or not Tim will be able to stop pulling his hair out to find an affordable, yet powerful desktop machine with it, and the gorgeous new iPad Pro.

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Well, you will because that’s when new iPhones will be available! Apple Watch aims to help us when we’ve fallen down and can’t get up. Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com
 Direct Link to Audio Recap of Apple Event Announcements from September 12th  Apple eats a bit of “humble pie” in the opening film to their “Gather Round” event which is a spoof on Mission Impossible. They know they haven’t been able to keep their product announcements so secret anymore, so they made it look as though there was going to be some really extra special super secret product in a briefcase and it turned out to be...well, you can watch it here: September Keynote 2018 — Opening Film and view all of the announcements here.  This keynote was especially polished. The opening graphic as Tim Cook walked out on stage was that of a rose gold circle to represent the architectural design of their new digs. Throughout the event, you see that circle design prominently featured on product close-ups like the back of the new Apple Watch and on the single camera of the iPhone XR. They’re really emphasizing soft and curvy edges. Apple Watch Series 4 was announced first with even more health features including the built-in ability to take an ECG (electrocardiogram) and Fall Detection. The digital crown now has haptic feedback when turned and the surface of it is a sensor where you place your finger to take an ECG. The speakers have been improved and the microphone was moved to the other side to make using Siri more effective. There are two hardware configurations available in two sizes. The entry-level aluminum 40mm GPS model starts at $399. For an additional $100 you can get the GPS + Cellular model and leave your iPhone at home. Add on $30 more for an additional 4 mm of watch to get the 44mm if you like to live large. Upgrading the bands or case material to stainless steel adds to the price and overall fashion statement you can make with an Apple Watch. It should be noted that you will be able to use all of your existing bands with the new hardware. Here is a link to Apple’s shopping page where you can experiment with combinations to find the right Apple Watch for you or someone special. You can also still get Apple Watch Series 3 which is now down to $279 for the base aluminum GPS model. Adding cellular costs $100 more plus whatever your carrier charges you per month for that ability. Earth Wind and Fire Watch Faces In addition to Earth, we’ll now have “Wind” (in the form of “vapor” and “breathe”) and Fire watch faces from which to choose. Here are four new watch faces coming to existing Apple Watches with watchOS 5 — 9 to 5 Mac  watchOS 5 is coming to an Apple Watch near you on September 17th and it’s available on all models except the “Series 0.” Here is Apple’s complete watchOS Feature Availability listing. Good Things Come in Threes Including New iPhones There are now three new iPhone offerings in addition to all the previous models still available. There’s now more choice than ever before with a price point and form factor for just about anyone. Despite all the hardware offerings available, by making iOS 12 available on 28 models of iPhone and iPad going back the span of FIVE years, we still can’t really call Apple’s device lineup “fragmented” because of how they are managed and updated so elegantly. Each base price begins at the 64GB size which has become the sweet spot of hard drive sizes for the budget-minded and storage-conservative users. Even the beloved iPhone SE is still available in 32GB for $349 at authorized resellers for comparison on the low-end and even more budget-friendly. iPhone XS 5.8 inch display $999 and iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch display $1099 — both are available in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold finishes. iPhone XR 6.1 inch display $749 is the “budget” model of this year’s lineup. It’s a vast improvement on the iPhone 5c from the last time they designed a “fun” phone. (Preordering begins October 19th at 12:01 PDT) It is available in White, (PRODUCT)RED, Coral, Yellow, Blue, and Black finishes. We Spent Some Time With Apple’s Colorful iPhone XR. Here’s What You Should Know — Time Melissa’s Budgeting Breakdown When iPhone 8 Plus came out, it was $799 which is $50 more than what iPhone XR costs now. If you’re in need of an upgrade and are on the fence between the now $699 iPhone 8 Plus yet really want the iPhone X experience, consider that for $50 more, iPhone XR has a faster chip and Face ID. It’s also a smaller, more pocketable form factor with a slightly larger display so there’s no sacrifice there. While it only has a single camera system, it’s still capable of snapping pictures that feature Portrait mode and Depth Control. You’d be sacrificing telephoto and wide-angle capabilities of iPhone XS, so if you’re a traveler or birdwatcher, you may not want to lose out on those features. There is no 3D Touch, but many would argue it’s an underused and underappreciated feature that may end up being replaced with Haptic touch in the future anyhow. There’s also no need to be concerned about picking out a black or white front with that edge to edge screen. If you’re trying to decide between iPhone XR and iPhone XS, an extra $250 ($999 iPhone XS compared to $749 iPhone XR) will get you:  Best camera to date: wide angle and telephoto vs single camera  Best display to date: 6.5 inch Super Retina HD (OLED) vs 6.1 inch Liquid Retina HD (LED)  One additional meter of water resistance depth (2m vs 1m)  Even longer battery life  3D Touch vs Haptic touch It’s like buying a really good phone but then paying an extra $250 for the luxury and convenience of not also needing to carry a bulkier DSLR camera. You’re actually buying a camera that makes phone calls and enables you to have a mobile office. You have to ask yourself what you want and need in a pocket supercomputer capable of performing actual work tasks vs a camera that makes phone calls vs a phone that takes decent pictures.   $569 iPhone 7 Plus 32GB is still available through Apple unlocked. $349.99 iPhone SE is the lowest priced iPhone at the smallest size of 32 GB.

Normally the crew take off for shore leave on holiday weekends like the rest of you, cadets, but dagnabbit Apple had other plans for us. Last week, the company held a big education-themed event with a new low-cost iPad (now with Apple Pencil support!) and updates of all of its OS versions, including some new features (and animoji!), along with official eGPU support for the latest MacBook Pros. Mike goes over the details of that, while Charles celebrates portrait nightstand mode for the Apple Watch and the new Health Records app and a library of old music videos on iTunes, 80s kid that he is. The crew ponder whether the increase in iCloud storage for students portends a bonus for consumers later, and go over the mystery of the HomePod firmware update that may -- or may not -- have changed its sound. There's also the coming of the General Data Protection Regulation and how tech companies are prepping ways for you to better understand what is being collected about you, which of course leads to a discussion about FaceBook and Google -- the two worst offenders in the category of "not really telling you stuff you ought to know," with the former (but curiously not the latter) now being investigated by the FTC over privacy matters. Mazda finally adds CarPlay support, Tim Cook explains why coding is so important for students, Dropbox goes public (and what that may mean for you), Foxconn buys Belkin, and the iMac Pro's peripherals are now available for the rest of us. But wait, there's more! Tune in to hear how Mike and Charles called it right about the education event, iPhone X sales, and the FBI's honesty about the San Bernadino shooting, and how they're going to be right about silly rumors regarding the iPhone SE 2 and a "foldable" iPhone in 2020. They also start to clear the backlog of cool accessories to talk about, and find (with AppleInsider's help) a surprising new weakness in the Galaxy S9 Plus. And that's not all, cadets, yet somehow they bend time and space to cram it all into a mere hour, thanks to positronic neutron wranglers and duct tape. Check it out!

Neben neuen Appleprodukten auf dem Radar, haben wir als Gast Timo Josten, den Entwickler von Dropshare, mit im Flieger. Und da Timo ein netter Kerl ist, gibt es drei Lizenzen für euch zu gewinnen. Als Gast haben wir Timo Josten (@activeOtwo), den Entwickler von Dropshare, mit im Flieger. Und da Timo ein netter Kerl ist, gibt es drei Lizenzen für euch zu gewinnen. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Überentwicklung Ja. Falls ihr schon auf Play gedrückt habt, dann habt ihr es gemerkt. Ganz brandneu-neu-neu beim Übercast, die Elektronik im Flugzeug wurde auf Vordermann gebracht und nun gibt es mehr oder minder hilfreiche Durchsagen, welche euch zum einen durch die Segmente unserer Show führen und zum anderen etwas mehr Niveau in die Sendung bringen. Da Patrick am Drücker für die Soundeffekte sitzt, entschuldigt er sich vorab für die eventuelle Überbeanspruchung der Knöpfe – ihr kennt das sicher… wenn etwas neu ist, dann will man damit auch rumspielen. Nun aber zu unserem neuen Segment: In “Überentwicklung” reden wir 20 Minuten lang mit Entwicklern und anderen Fachgästen über ein spezielles Thema. Der Unterschied zur bisherigen Herangehensweise ist also schlicht, dass ihr (a) in den Genuss kommt jetzt öfters mal einen Gast auf’s Ohr gedrückt zu bekommen - nein, nicht jede Sendung - und (b) das sich dieser Exkurs und Blick hinter den Vorhang nicht über die komplette Show streikt. Wie Eingangs bereits erwähnt ist unser Gast heute Timo Josten, und Timo erzählt unser geradewegs wie es überhaupt zu Dropshare kam. Und zwar fiel er dem klassischen “scratching your own itch” Syndrom zum Opfer: Eines Tages war er der bereits etablierten externen Hostingservices zum Teilen von Dateien überdrüssig und entschied sich dazu ein selbstgeschraubtes kleines Tool zu nutzen, um die volle Kontrolle über seine Daten zu haben. Timo entwickelt seit 1,5 Jahren mit Cocoa und es so oft ist, man lernt am besten, wenn man direkt an einem praktischen Beispiel übt. Schnell hat sich dann herausgestellt, das die Idee an sich für ein solches Sharing-Tool sehr populär ist und daraus ist dann Dropshare er- und entwachsen. Timo hat eine UI gebaut, damit sich auch unsereins ohne tiefgreifende Kenntnisse seine Verbindungen einrichten kann, für die Dateiübertragung hat ist er vom STP Protokoll auf sicherere Schnittstellen zur Dateiübertragung gewechselt und hat jede Menge Userwünsche mit eingebaut die Dropshare zu dem machen was es heute ist. Der Lösung für das schnelle, kostengünstige und private Sharing auf OS X mit jede Menge Optionen. Features Dropshare kann auf den eigenen Host (per SSH) hochladen, auf Amazon S3 oder auf Rackspace. Das coole ist, dass ihr mehrere Verbindungen angeben könnt und somit Dateien an unterschiedliche Ziele hochladen könnt, z.B. auf die private Sharingseite, die eigene Webseite oder euren professionellen Webauftritt. Hochladen könnt ihr indem ihr die Datei auf das Dropshare Icon in der Menüleiste zieht. Die Verbindung kann momentan per Shortcut gewechselt oder per Einstellungen in den Settings die man ebenfalls mit ein paar Klicks erreichen kann (Menübar-Icon > Preferences > Active Connections, dann öffnet sich ein Dropdown-Menü). Unterstützt werden ebenfalls die OS X Services, so das ihr Shortcuts mit Apps wie Keyboard Maestro oder FastScripts zum hochladen von Dateien direkt im Finder verwenden könnt, also ohne Drag’n’Drop. Um Ordnung zu halten, könnt ihr über das Icon auch wieder Dateien vom Server löschen. Noch einfacher geht das über den Verlauf, dort werden alle Uploads gelistet, die ihr je hochgeladen habt. So behaltet ihr den Überblick und könnt den Frühjahrsputz angehen. Optional können die Links zu den hochgeladenen Dateien als gekürzte URL in die Zwischenablage kopiert werden. Unterstützt wird der offizielle Google URL shortener (goo.gl), Dropshares eigenes Kürzel dsh.re und für die ganz wilden unter euch auch das eigene Shortener-Skript. Ebenfalls wahlweise kann man Markdown Dateien als HTML Seiten hochladen, um eine schöne, leserliche Seite zu generieren. Geplant ist hier auch die Möglichkeit Themes für diese Option zu integrieren. Bei der Landing Page funktionieren Themes schon heute. Ist dieses Feature aktiviert, wird für jeden Upload eine schicke Seite angezeigt mit Informationen zur Datei und Downloadbutton angezeigt. Wenn ihr HTML/CSS/JavaScript-kundig seit, könnt ihr euch je nach Expertise eine eigene Downloadseite bauen inklusive Logo, Kontaktdaten und Beipackzettel. Falls gewünscht kann Dropshare auch eure Bildschirmfotos automatisch hochladen und bei Bedarf gleich die Datei von eurem Computer wieder löschen. Als kleiner Vorausblick, nach Patrick’s bohrenden, inquisitativen Fragen zum Thema Dropshare für iOS atmet Timo einmal tief durch und gesteht, dass es ihm eine Freude wäre die App sofort anzugehen. Da es aber zeitlich im Moment nicht drinnen ist und er lieber eine App gescheit mit Updates versorgt, als auf zwei Hochzeiten gleichzeitig zu tanzen ist dieses Projekt verschoben. Nichtsdestotrotz steht das weit oben auf Timo’s persönlicher Todo-Liste und man darf mit einem iOS Pendant rechnen – nur halt nicht jetzt und direkt.

Überbleibsel Heute mal ganz kurz und schmerzlos – im Zuge der Fülle an Information die gleich auf euch zukommt, werden in Punkto Überbleibsel nur die Gewinner des »MacSparky Presentation Field Guide« verkündet: @3_5x5_5 @logolife Thomas Schlosser @codeh_de Herzlichen Glückwunsch und vielen Dank für die Teilnahme! Schlüsselnotenzeit Die historische Überleitung zu unserem heutigen Hauptthema erfolgt sogleich durch Sven. Die Keynote wurde nämlich im Flint Center of Fine Arts abgehalten. Was einige vielleicht nicht wussten, dies ist ein geschichtsträchtiger Ort für Apple, denn hier stellte Steve Jobs nach seiner Rückkehr zu Apple den ersten iMac vor. Heute ist es Tim Cook, der unglaubliche große iPhones und die lang erwarte Apple Watch vorstellt. Der Live Stream der Keynote hat dieses Mal nicht wirklich gut funktioniert. Auf Twitter gab es die komplette Bandbreite an Emotionsausbrüchen zu bestaunen. Sven hat allem Anschein die Antwort parat, aber bei so einem brandaktuellen Thema kann es selbst dem ältesten Hasen passieren, dass mal nicht der allerneuste Artikel aufgegriffen wird. Deshalb hier die von Andreas ausgegrabene Korrekturrecherche: Weshalb ruckelte der Livestream? Andreas selbst hat die Keynote natürlich wieder geschwänzt, um seinem Ruf als Streaming-Bolkottierer von Marketingevents gerecht zu werden. Natürlich hat er sich trotzdem für unsere Show die nötigen Informationen handverlesen aus diversen Blogs zusammengebrowst. iPhone 6 und iPhone 6 Plus Link zum Bild: Bastelstunde im Kindergarten Wenn wir den ersten Teil der Keynote zusammenfassen müssten in einem Bild, dann wäre es jenes Bild welches unter der Überschrift drohnt. Patrick hat die einzigen iPhones in der Hand die er sich momentan leisten kann, Andreas sein Blick könnte nicht mehr Kritik ausstrahlen gegenüber den “Phablets” und Sven sitzt immer noch völlig (an)gespannt da und wartet auf die Uhr. Wer mitbasteln will bekommt hier Links zu Druckvorlagen: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/iphone-scale.pdf http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/download/iphone-6-and-6-plus-scale-cutouts.pdf Inkl. Homescreen um zu sehen was der Daumen so alles erreichen kann: Which iPhone 6 Size Is Best for me? Das Unwort “Phablet” und viele Fragen dazu So unschön das Wort ist, jetzt steht es nun einmal da. Wie groß das iPhone in der Tat ist seht ihr hier… Link zum Bild: Größenvergleich … oder in dieser Montage von LadyX aus dem MacRumors Forum: Link zum Bild: LadyX Montage Sven mutmaßt, dass Apple sich mit der Größe der Smartphones womöglich um die Teenie-Klientele für iPads bringt, da speziell dieser Zielgruppe fortan ein Gerät alleine genügt und nicht immer das Geld so locker sitzt. Patrick merkt an, dass er Teens prinzipiell in der Stadt nur noch mit Gesicht und Hand am Handy in der Stadt sieht und gibt folgende Erfahrungswerte eines Freundes der 2 Jahre mit einem 5,5″ Handy durch die Welt gegondelt ist weiter: Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass du am Flughafen mit der einen Hand deinen Koffer ziehst und mit der anderen textest – not gonna happen. Ist es unmöglich? Nein. Du hast nur immer im Unterbewusstsein, dass dir das gute Stück aus der Hand fällt. Das Flughafenbeispiel, weil das der Ort ist, an dem es ihm immer auffällt: Du musst dein Handy benutzen, bist aber dazu noch in Eile. Schlechte Kombo. Eines ist Sicher: Es kommen jede Menge “Mein iPhone ist hingefallen” Geschichten auf uns zu! Wie Andreas schon sagte, es ist klar, dass nun mit 5,5″ der Umstieg auf ein Gerät möglich ist (statt einem Smartphone und einem Tablet). Patrick schiebt nach, dass so ein dickes Handy je nach Anwender reicht, … oder halt auch nicht. Jeder muss für sich selbst entscheiden, was er für Anforderungen an ein Gerät stellt. Nur so kann man sich für das richtige Gerät, bzw. Gerätekombination entscheiden. Fest steht, dass das 6 Plus nicht unbedingt als “iPad Mini Killer” gewertet werden muss. Das iPad Mini ist viel breiter und hat einen komplett anderen Formfaktor (4:3 Bildschirm). Bücher, Comics, Spiele, Internet und Videos darauf zu konsumieren ist eine andere und oft schönere Baustelle. Wir halten fest: Beide Geräte haben ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Wer jetzt bei den verschiedenen Modellen vor der Qual der Wahl steht, für den gibt es hier noch ein paar hilfreiche Hinweise: Option 1: Das Beste was ihr tun könnt → In eine Fachgeschäft gehen und selbst ausprobieren. Option 2: Eine der verlinkten Vorlage runterladen, ausdrucken (fit to page ausstellen), ausschneiden, auf Pappe kleben und selbst schauen wie es sich anfällt und transportieren lässt. Beim Hosentaschentest nicht vergessen, wenn das Stehen sich “okay” anfühlt, heißt das nicht, dass sitzen und knien auch locker drinnen ist. Also testen! Option 3: Spigen Case für iPhone 6 Plus (12 EUR). Die teurere Alternative zu den Schablonen, kauft euch ein Case und tragt es mal einen Tag mit euch rum. Äußere und Innere Werte Da wir hier in den Show Notes sind, gibt es noch eine Extra-Auflistung was sich so alles geändert hat, bevor wir uns dann den Unterschieden zwischen den Modellen widmen. Der Look leicht geschwungener Bildschirm an den Seiten wie beim iPad und iPod Power-Button nun an der Gehäuseseite Lautstärkeknöpfe ebenfalls wie beim iPad Gut nach Patrick, denn “die lassen sich wirklich leichter drücken”. Kritisch nach Patrick, denn evtl. können die Knöpfe in der Hose unabsichtlich ausgelöst werden. Die alten Knöpfe sind in der Tat nicht so leichtgängig. Preisübersicht Preis/Speicher iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6 iPhone 5S iPhone 5C 8 GB X X X 399 € 16 GB 799 € 699 € 599 € X 32 GB X X 649 € X 64 GB 899 € 799 € X X 128 GB 999 € 899 € X X Vorgriff: Zusammenfassung der Unterschiede Akkulaufzeit: Das iPhone 6 Plus hält wesentlich länger. Die Linse: Das größere Model hat optische Bildstabilisation. Ist also auch bei Fotos einen Tick besser als der “kleine” Bruder. Hinzukommt noch der erweiterter Landscape Modus beim 6 Plus durch welchen Apps mehr Inhalte darstellen können. Ebenso die höhere Auflösung. In Punkto Gewicht unterscheiden sich die Geräte wie folgt: iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6 iPhone 5S iPhone 5C 172 g 129 g 112 g 132 g Chips Prozessor: Es wurde vom A7 auf A8 Chip gewechselt (nach wie vor: 64-bit). Dieser soll 25% mehr Turbo-Boost bringen. Der M8 Chip für’s Tracking von Schritten kann nun mehr als der bisherige M7 Chip: Distanz schätzen, nicht nur Schritte Unterscheidung zwischen rennen vs. radfahren Ein Barometer (Höhenmesser - kennen wir vom Altimeter im Cockpit hier) für fleißige Treppenbergsteiger ist auch mit dabei. Schnelleres WiFi – 802.11 ac (bis zu 3x schneller as der N-Standard) Ist so. Patrick’s iPad Mini rennt allen anderen Geräten im Haushalt davon. Gratulation iPhone, du bist nun mit dabei. Falls unterstützt von eurem Anbieter: Anrufe per Wi-Fi annehmen, wenn ihr aus dem Wi-Fi-Bereich kommt, wird ohne Probleme und ganz sanft auf das Funknetz umgestiegen. Akkulaufzeit So, nun aber ans eingemachte: Die Akkulaufzeit. Erst ein wenig vorschnell von Pilot Sven überflogen und als “mit nur leichten Unterschieden” deklariert, merkt der sich auf die Internetnutzung versteifende Pilot (dort beträgt der maximale Unterschied nur 4 Stunden) beim überfliegen der Tabelle doch noch, dass es da in der Tat doch schon frappierende Unterschiede gibt. Aber seht selbst: Link zum Bild: Übersicht – Akkulaufzeit Wie ihr oben seht, ist die Akkulaufzeit deutlich besser beim größten aller iPhones. Ein nicht unerhebliches Kaufkritierium wie Patrick findet und deshalb gibt es noch eine kritische Anmerkung dazu aus der “The Verge Live: iPhone 6 and Apple Watch” Diskussionsrunde. Hier die wichtistgen Punkte zum Theme, die Patrick für sich rausgezogen hat: Die Industrie will erst einmal die Smartphones nur dünner machen. Wenn das Limit erreicht wird, dann ist erst die Batterie dran. Schade, weil mehr drinnen ist laufzeittechnisch. Kürzlich gab es eine Forschung zum Ergebnis hatte, dass man als Konsument den Unterschied quasi nicht mehr erfüllen kann zwischen den paar Millimetern an Breite. Vorrangig ist es also bei den Smartphones ein ziemliches Optikrennen, anstatt ein Gefecht um die beste Akkulaufzeit. Denn wo mehr Platz ist, da passt auch eine größere Batterie rein. Display, Landscape Modus, Reachability Das 4,7er (1920 x 1080 px bei 401 ppi) und das 5,5er (1334 x 750 px bei 326 ppi) haben deutlich mehr Pixelmost. Letzteres wird sogar als Retina-HD betitelt. Patrick gibt eine kleine Falschauskunft im Podcast. Auch wenn er 4,7″ sagt, hat er irgendwie noch Sven’s 5S im Hinterkopf. Hier die offizielle Entschuldigung: “Lieber Sven, natürlich hat dein (ebenfalls) großes 4,7″ iPhone auch den horizontal Modus für das Springboard, nur halt nicht - wie bereits erwähnt die Extra-Freifläche die Entwickler künftig einbinden können. Irgendwie habe ich es geschafft, mir kurz vor der Aufnahme einzureden, dass es noch ein normalgroßes iPhone gibt und das du das holen willst und wirst. Über die späte Erkenntnis, dass es überhaupt noch ein solches 4″ iPhone gibt, war ich selbst sehr überrascht. Leider zieht sich der grobe Schnitzer nun über alle Aussagen zu “deinem iPhone” hinweg. Aber die Redaktion hat mir versprochen da keinen großen Hehl draus zu machen.” Also noch einmal für alle zum mitschreiben: Die neuen iPhones haben beide diesen Modus, nur das alte 5er logischer Weise nicht – ist ja kein Platz. Das Plus kann auch noch mehr darstellen und man darf gespannt sein, ob Entwickler einige Bedienelemente die sich bisher in den Settings verstecken dorthin auslagern oder wie diese Freifläche allgemein genutzt werden wird. Den Ein-Hand Modus (“Reachability”), welchen man per Doppel-Touch auf den Touch ID Button auslöst, hat Sven zukünftiges iPhone 6 natürlich ebenfalls. Reachability sorgt dafür das der obere Teil des Bildschirms nach unten rutscht, dass man diesen Teil bequemer erreichen kann. Noch ein zusätzlicher Touch und ihr gelangt zurück zum Vollbildmodus. Basketballspieler brauchen die Funktion übrigens nicht. Link zum Bild: Shaquille O’Neal Nebenbei erwähnt, eine ähnliche Funktion haben andere Hersteller ebenfalls bereits integriert – es handelt sich also nicht um einen Geniestreich aus Cupertino. Das muss bei solchen Abmessungen einfach sein, denn wer erinnert sich nicht gerne an diesen iPhone 5 Werbespot. Am Ende des Tages kann es natürlich sein, dass man zum größten Teil für beide 6er prinzipiell eher 2 Hände braucht. Kamera-Fakten Autofocus doppelt so schnell Panorama Modus: bis zu 43MP (größere Panoramas) Neuer Gyroscope-Sensor: besseres stitching bei Panoramas Fortgeschrittene Gesichtserkennung und ein “Bester Schnappschuss” Modus Linse 6+: Optische Bildstabilisation kann sich bewegen und so das Bild stabilisieren Justierung und Stabilisierung Noch besser bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen 6: Elektronische/digitale Bildstabilisation Video Framerate verdoppelt 1080p von 30 fps auf 60fps Zeitlupenmodus von 120 fps auf 240 fps NFC (Near Field Communication) Die Katze ist nun aus dem Sack. Bezahlt wird nicht per iBeacon wie von der Tech-Szene vor einem Jahr noch vermuten und wie von PayPal bereits umgesetzt per Bluetooth 4.0 mit Beacons. NFC ist bei Patrick heute NVC, weil seit der iPhone-Affäre von oben einfach der Wurm drinnen ist. Bei Android ist NFC dagegen schon immer NFC und auch schon eine kleine Ewigkeit am Start. Apple war allerdings so nett und hat gleich mal diverse Partner mit ins Boot geholt. Sven freut sich auf jeden Fall auf die schöne neue Weltm in welcher er ins Flugzeug und ins Hotelzimmer per Handy einchecken kann. Ebenso begeistert es alle Piloten, dass man nun komplett anonym hinter seinem iPhone ist. Man bekommt eine Accountnummer von Apple und das war’s. Apple selbst sagt von sich auch: »Security is at the core of Pay, but so is privacy. We’re not in the business of collecting your data.« Der Großkonzern aus Cupertino weiß also weder “was ihr wo gekauft” habt, noch sonst irgendwas. Ebensowenig sieht der Kassierer euren Namen. Ihr müsst auch nicht mehr den dreistelligen “Sicherheitscode” eingeben. Wie versprochen gibt es hier in den Show Notes noch mal eine Liste zum Thema NFC und Sicherheit. Sicherheit: PC-WELT: Zahlung per NFC - bequem aber sicher? PC-WELT: Ist das Bezahlen per Funk sicher? Zusammenfassung: Betrugsfälle sind nicht auszuschließen, aber bisher ist keiner bekannt. Bis zu 10 cm muss sich ein Betrüger dem Smartphone nähern. Ein dicker Geldbeutel oder ein Spezialhülle die abschirmend wirkt sollen wohl helfen. Verbreitung und Integration: Ausserdem hat Patrick noch ein wenig recherchiert, wo und wie das Ganze - insbesondere in Deutschland - umgesetzt wird und was der Status Quo ist: Bezahlen per NFC macht man problemlos bei Kleinbeträgen bis zu 20-25 EUR. Danach ist die Pin-Eingabe erforderlich. Das entfällt wohl bei der Apple-Lösung. Das Bezahlen per iPhone started zunächst in den USA (American Express, Mastercard/VISA) und Entwickler können die Funktion auch in Apps integrieren. Besonders Beispiele wie die Einbindung beim Taxi-Dienst “Uber” sollten Registriermuffel aufhorchen lassen, dort kann man nämlich ohne extra einen Account anzulegen sich ‘ne Taxe bestellen. In England und Australien ist die ganze Geschichte schon wesentlich verbreiteter und beliebter, doch auch bei uns gibt es Hoffnung. So kündigt Mastercard kündigt zum 1. Januar 2015 einen NFC-Zwang für neu aufgestellte Kassensysteme an. Momentan sind nur 5% der 700.000 Mastercard-Akzeptanzstellen umgerüstet. Hier eine Liste wo sich bereits per NFC bezahlen lässt: Aral-Tankstellen (Esso will nachziehen) Galeria-Kaufhof-Warenhäusern Hit-Supermärkte (noch nie gehört) Hannover, Hildesheim, Braunschweig und Wolfsburg DM Drogeriemärkte, Edeka, Jet und McDonalds. In Frankfurt sollen 1.400 Taxen mit NFC-Chips ausgestattet werden. De facto: Bei uns dauert es also noch und man muss hoffen, dass die Kritiker, welche auf zu geringe Vorteile gegenüber dem herkömmlichen Verfahren beim Bezahlen mit Bankkarten verweisen, einfach ignoriert werden. Aber auch nur, weil das Bezahlen per Handy einfach zu praktisch, um es längerfristig zu ignorieren. NFC Automatisierung Trigger (ehemals NFC Task Launcher) aus dem Google Play Store ist die App, um die Android-Nutzer schon seit Jahren von Patrick beneidet werden. Aufkleber holen, programmieren, Aktion ausführen. Das stellt sich der junge Pilot sehr geil vor und zudem noch aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach erschwinglicher als überall iBeacons aufzustellen. Anwendungsbeispiele: Haustür: Beim Verlassen der Wohnung WLAN ausschalten Auto: Bluetooth aktivieren Schlafzimmer: Flugzeugmodus aktivieren, Lautstärke auf Leise stellen, Bildschirmhelligkeit auf 1% fahren. Noch besser wird’s wenn man Webseiten, quatsch, x-callback-url’s öffnen bzw. ausführen lassen kann. Patrick würde sich sofort ein analoges Launch Center Pro bauen mit dem er ein Festplattenbackup anstoßen kann, Blog-Posts veröffentlicht und das letzte Bild automatisch an Heinz und Ulla sendet. Daneben hat die App noch folgende Trigger: Akkustand Standort Zeit-Trigger Die Frage ist nur, ob Apple irgendwann mal Zugriff auf diese ach so unantastbaren Systemeinstellungen gewährt. Sollte sowas in Cydia auftauchen, so wäre dies womöglich wieder ein Anreiz genug für Patrick zu jailbreaken. Video-Links Um das Thema iPhone gebührend abzuschließen noch ein paar Videos zum Ausklang. Trigger Happy TV - Der ‘großes Handy’ Typ und noch mehr The Verge: iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hands-on Apple: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - Seamless Apple: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - Health Apple: Introducing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus _ WATCH = “One more thing” »We believe this product will redefine what people expect from its category.« Als erstes hat sich Apple ein wenig selbst die Schulter getätschelt. Der eigene Erfindergeist und der konstante Fokus auf das Wichtigste wurden hochgelobt: Das User-Interface. Mac => Mouse iPod => Click-wheel Apple watch => digital crown Erhältlich ist das gute Stück im Frühjahr 2015. Sven lobt das Apple allem Anschein nach verstanden hat, dass die Uhr ein individuelles Schmuckstück ist und man so viel Kombinationsmöglichkeiten hat (bis zu 2 Millionen… eine unfassbare Zahl die Patrick beim ersten Ohrenkontakt gar nicht glauben wolle). Anbei ein grober Überblick. Varianten 3 Modelle: Apple Watch: hochglanzpoliert in Edelstahl oder Space Black Apple Watch Sport eloxierten Aluminium in Silver und Space Gray. Apple Watch Edition 18-karätigem Roségold oder Gelbgold 2 Größen (ebenfalls bei den versch. Bändern) Bänderwechseln - sieht gut aus, hoffentlich hält’s auch Gliederarmband, Milanaise (feingliedriges Metallarmband, nicht flach ausstreckbar), Leder, Plaste, etc. Features und Alleinstellungsmerkmal Das berühmt-berüchtigte (unverkratzbare) Saphir-Kristallglas “Digital crown” - die Krone, das Drehrad, welches als Homebutton-Ersatz und Scrollrad daherkommt. “Force Touch” macht die UI drucksensitiv. Es kann zwischen Tap und Press unterschieden werden. Die Uhr kommt außerdem mit haptischem Feedback daher und drückt euch sanft, wenn ihr Neuigkeiten bekommt. Meinungen und Mutmaßungen Für Sven steht fest, dass die Apple Watch das Schmuckstück unter den Smartwatches ist – auch wenn sie nicht im klassischen und etablierten runden Look daher kommt. Dennoch würde er seine heiß geliebte Tagheuer nicht in die Schublade stecken dafür… was ihn aber nicht abhalten wird als Technikfreund irgendwann einmal das Handgelenk mit der Apfeluhr zu umrahmen. Das die Navigation mittels haptischem Feedback (ganz dezente Druck-Vibrationen die noch nicht einmal der direkte Sitznachbar mitbekommen soll) gelöst wurde gefällt Patrick wiederum, der sich im Großstadtdschungel regelmäßig mit flachem Akku verläuft. Sportfreund Andreas macht eine klare Ansage: Er würde sich überlegen, eventuell die $349 zu investieren. Der Preis sei zwar eine ordentliche Stange Geld, aber für die Wertigkeit und die Integration ins bevorzugte Ökosystem könnte sich das lohnen. Wir werden sehen, ob wir Anfang nächsten Jahres die Checkliste vor der Show per Uhr abarbeiten. Dann geben wir natürlich sofort bescheid geben und verkünden das Andreas zugeschlagen hat. Dank des Triathlontrainings von Sven ist die Uhr für ihn in Version 1 zumindest erst einmal runter vom Wunschzettel. Er braucht eine Wasserdichte Uhr. Bisher sagt das Durchgesickerungskommando, dass die Apple Watch nur Spritz- und Regenwasser fest ist. Patrick hat anfangs gezweifelt, ob Apple es nicht in Punkto “Gimmicks” bei dieser Uhr übertrieben hat. Der Homescreen sieht sehr (über)wuchernd aus, die Nachrichtenfunktion mit Herzschlag, Zeichnung und animierten Emoji’s kommen auch eine ganze Nummer verspielter daher, als man es aus Cupertino gewohnt ist und dann war da ja noch das Astronomy Watchface mit dem man auf den Mond geflogen wird. Sein finales Urteil nach anfänglichem Zweifeln ist, dass so eine Horde an Spielereien für eine auf Individualismus ausgerichtete Uhr durchaus okay ist und auch Sinn macht. Gerade die Astronomy App hat da noch einmal das Ruder rumgerissen und ihn restlos überzeugt… auch wenn’s eigentlich tragbarer Nippes mit Lexikonanbindung ist, aber als Sci-Fi Anhänger ist das natürlich eine versteckte Botschaft von Kupido. Wo Patrick allerdings noch Verbesserungsbedarf vermutet ist die Nachrichtenfunktion. Die Uhr hat ja soweit bekannt ist keine Tastatur, man diktiert also seine Nachrichten ein. Die unausgesprochene Frage von Leuten die oft in zwei oder mehr Sprachen texten ist dem zufolge, wie man die Sprache wechselt. Patrick mutmaßt, dass man wahrscheinlich wie beim iPhone in die Systemeinstellungen der Uhr muss. Bei den iOS Geräten kann man auf der Tastatur direkt umschalten und dann in der jeweiligen Sprache des Keyboardlayouts diktieren. Wenn man irgendwann per Siri schnell umschalten kann anstatt in die Settings zu gehen, wäre das eine willkommene Option, im Speziellen für die Apple Watch. Sven hingegen lobt den Mut von Mr. Lynch (Ex-Adobe Technology Rudelführer), dass dieser vor versammelter Mannschaft sich getraut hat per Siri einen komplexen Satz zu diktieren. Der Übercast schließt daraus, dass der Satz entweder zig’ tausendmal geprobt wurde oder einfach ein Video abgelaufen ist. Andreas zuckt an dieser Stelle verschreckt und man ist sich ab da sicher sein, dass zCasting 3000 involviert war und die Demo abgefilmt hat. Unser Sven stimmt dann noch in den Chorus ein, dass dies nun Tim Cooks Apple ist. Sein Baby ist die Uhr (… und die Riesenhandys). Besonders löblich findet er nach wir vor, dass die Uhr als Lifestyleprodukt verstanden und konzipiert wurde, hier also nicht der Fokus auf Techniknerds gelegt wurde die sich X Features wünschen. Patrick ist trotzdem noch ein wenig baff, weil halt so wenig Informationen rausgehauen wurden, z.B. die einmal am Rande erwähnte SDK und die fehlende ganz spezielle Apple-Begründung, warum die Uhr nicht als autarkes Gerät geplant wurde. Klar, man kann es sich denken, aber trotzdem ist es noch einmal was anderes es aus erster Hand zu hören. Im Grunde ist Patrick auf jeden Fall, trotz nicht gezündetem Kauf-Impuls gespannt auf das Gerät, schließlich hat man bei den Hands-on Demos der Journalisten ja auch nur Videos auf der Uhr gesehen. Eine Fähigkeit der Apple Watch wo er ebenfalls neugierig ist, wie sie sich in der Realität schlägt, ist das ‘Arm-heben - Uhr an’ Feature. In der Show führt er das Beispiel aus dem Klassenraum an, und zwar wenn sich Anton aus der 11b meldet und dann die zuletzt geöffnete Tumblr-Seite mit Food-Porn aufgeht. Link zum Bild: Food Porn Beispiele von der Keynote Die Bedienung sieht ja schon einmal vielversprechend aus. Mit “Glances” kann man per Swipe nach ↑ eine Art Dock aufrufen, in dem die Lieblings-Clock-Faces liegen und zwischen welchen man dann per Swipe wechseln kann. Vorgestellte Apps oder Watchfaces waren unter anderem: American Airlines = Ein Tap um einzuchecken. In Hotels = Ein Tap um die Tür zu öffnen Im BMW = Automatisch bei Bedarf zurück zum parkenden Auto navigiert werden Video-Links The Verge: Apple Watch announcement in 6 minutes The Verge: Apple Watch explained in under 2 minutes The Verge: Apple Watch hands-on (…man bemerke die zitternden Hände beim bedienen der Uhr welche ja auf Autopilot läuft – ist halt neu, da freut man sich). Unsere Picks Timo: Dash von Bogdan Popescu bringt Entwicklern Zugriff auf die Dokumentationen von sämtlichen APIs und dient gleichzeitig noch als Snippet Manager. Die Schnupperversion ist umsonst, die Vollversion kostet 17,99 €. Patrick: Timerlist von Strauss ist ein super flexibler und durchdachter Timer Manager für Yoga, Intervall-Training und komplexe Workouts. Die App kann ebenfalls gratis getestet werden, die Vollversion schlägt dann mit 2,69 € zu buche. Sven: OmniFocus 2 für’s iPad ist zwar noch nicht draussen, aber Insider Sven macht euch hier einfach trotzdem schon einmal den Mund wässrig, da diese Version wohl seine Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen hat. Andreas: After Shave Milch von Esbjerg. Ja, genau… wenn ihr kein Programmierer seid und mit Dash nix anfangen könnt, lieber auf der Couch sitzt als auf dem Laufband unterwegs seid und demzufolge Timerlist nix für euch ist, oder richtig gut lesen könnt und bemerkt habt, dass OmniFocus 2 für das iPad noch gar nicht draussen ist, dann, ja dann kommt Andreas jetzt mit einer echten Testosteronpackung, die euch aus der Pick-Wüste rein in eine erfrischende Oase für die Nassrasur zieht. Hätte Cleopatra Bart getragen, so wäre sie wie Andreas im Wiener Shop von Esbjerg gelandet.Dort hätte sie sich mit Rasiermilch ausgestattet als gäbe es keinen Morgen. Weil das der mit einem globusumrundenden Abstand bei weitem der beste Pick ist den wir je hatten, gibt’s zum Abschluss noch ein Lächeln wie es nur ein Esbjerg-Nutzer nach einer Frischekur mit seiner Lieblingsmilch hinzaubern kann: Link zum Bild: Aftershave In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.
