The Objective Top 10 Phones List

foreign people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we're your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David and today on this episode this week we've got a tick tock introducing a paywall for Content that includes 20 minute videos Spotify is AI DJ we want to talk about and we'll wrap it up with the objective top 10 smartphones of 2022. no disputing the list we'll get into that one too it's fun uh but first usually we leave our our huge our huge Breaking News segment for the middle of our video but this I think this is the biggest news too big probably the biggest story in 2023 like we can't like bury the lead like if if people realize that we didn't talk about this at the top of the episode like we're in trouble like this is the biggest Story Probably of Our Generation Um so let's just get right into it a new yellow iPhone 14. this I I didn't see this coming to be honest we've gotten these like pale colors in the past of iPhones of like what is it we have the the the midnight and the Starlight and there's a purple one yeah um yellow really like just shook the whole Tech World up for a day there I think yeah it's a it's a bold choice I appreciate their bravery but yeah we have it yeah you know green purple that was expected but as soon as the yellow hit I just I I didn't know how to handle it I had to I had to call my therapist do you see the sides the the back is yellow but the sides are like a different yellow yeah what two yeah dude you got to watch the video soon it's incredible so they they invited a lucky couple YouTubers and people with cameras to point their cameras at it and I'm amazed that the camera is like actually were able to capture what they saw like a wider Spectrum in real life I wouldn't have believed it if I saw it it was hard to tell through the tears in my eyes of how beautiful it was yeah so for the Vibrance of it sure would you say it's like more yellow than the sun or it kind of has like a gold look to it I think it's gonna replace this one like one of the most important product releases is I think I've ever seen I've never even seen it with my eyes but me neither I've seen it with my ears now that you're describing it and I can't even I can't even imagine what it's like the articles are something they're poetry they're special this is I'm I'm just glad to be able to end the Pod right here yeah no that's that's kind of it for this episode there's nobody just tuned in no that yellow iPhone it's like released I did a video like two three years ago on like mid-cycle new color product releases if you want to watch that that's kind of the summary of uh the new yellow iPhone it's yellow it's in the purple iPhone video last year get like 5 million views well that's why I did the video I was like I usually wouldn't make a video about a new color of a phone but if you just look down at the view count you understand why this video exists so yeah that's um that was a thing for sure like the purple iPhone show up on camera so the purple iPhone was last year yeah I think so yeah oh my God yeah yeah it's like 13. because Ellis has it the 13 mini 12. I don't think the 13 came in I think no I think the purple's 12. and then there was like a red iPhone was it red Seven Ten not ten because the seven I think then right because I just remember us getting that and doing an unboxing in like an hour and a half and that video had like five million views yeah that's crazy the 1320 is green you know it's actually funny kind of some of these uh these new colors everyone's like camera settings and everyone's color correction is a little bit different so you kind of have to like if you watch three different videos on a new color you might actually not really know what the color is because I look a little different in each video and that's especially true with the red because it was a really saturated red yeah and that notoriously will over saturate the red channel of people's cameras and it will start to peek and then look pink a little bit when it was not pink at all fun fact I can't prove that my red is the same as your red anyway though that's true in my brain I know what red is and I hope everyone listening and watching also knows what red is it's just a different red yeah anyway tick tock on the clock we we have a tick tock headline so Tick Tock introduces paywalled content kind of a trend that we've seen on social media in general is enabling creators to make more exclusive content behind a paywall for smaller audiences like Twitter already does that um Instagram actually already does that and so now Tick Tock is doing that I mean YouTube does it also YouTube exactly so so I'm just gonna read the bullet points here and maybe we have some reactions to it so it's called series which lets creators sell collections of videos that you can purchase each collection of videos can have up to 80 videos in them and those videos can be up to 20 minutes long so creators can choose the price for the series they can go between one dollar and 190 dollars to to charge for their series at launch 100 of the revenue goes to creators minus the App Store and processing fees and there will be a new series website to publish and track performance that's it it's just sell videos behind a paywall within the tick tock platform yeah packs of videos which is really interesting yeah that's way different than what I was expecting yeah and I mean I'm assuming that they want it to be unique videos but I'm wondering if creators would like sell if they have like a a series of videos that they already do if they're just gonna package them and then be like you can buy but what does it mean to buy a digital product especially on Tick Tock that you can already look at for free it would have to be a unique it would have to be a new video yeah maybe you do like a series and you have Parts one through eight are for free on your thing but then Parts nine and ten are behind the paywall something like that or you could do like if you're a cooking Tick Tock Channel or something you could do like we're gonna do a Thai package and then it's like 20 Thai videos there's an idea yeah I went from seeing the the title of this that you posted thinking this is an awesome idea to reading this and thinking I don't think this makes any sense at all it's kind of like really I mean so it's really it's up to the creators to decide like what this extra content is going to be so like when Instagram did this you can be a paying subscriber or supporter of an Instagram page or whatever and then there will be specific stories and posts that only paid subscribers see so it might be similar photography to your other photos or it might be special you know behind the scenes or something like extra content whatever same thing with YouTube YouTubers can choose what they want to be just for the paid subscribers so I wanna that's what I thought this was going to be but this makes me think it's different now because when you're saying can charge between one to ninety dollars for a series it makes it seem like you are going to create a series of five videos charge x amount of say ten dollars for that just that series is unlocked right whereas like YouTube and stuff is you subscribe for extra and then like you also open all the past stuff that was like that so it was a little different movie on Google Play movies or on on Apple TV basically yeah you're buying a digital product that only you have access to it would have to be a really great video yeah yeah right individual video I well that's why it's there I don't think they want it to be individual they want it to be multiple videos yes ideally it's multiple videos that's like harder if Tick Tock did like YouTube subscriptions I think it would make perfect sense and allow 20 minute videos in there because then it can be like I'm gonna make my regular tick tocks that got me popular but I can also make some 20 minute deeper Dives or if you could do paywall live live streams where you could do paywall like yeah long q and A's that are 20 minutes and then whenever you subscribe for that month the the Creator gets that seems perfect it's like the patreon model right yeah I think like the cooking example that I said before I think that could really work because you could do one Tick Tock video where like we're making Pad Thai I have a whole collection of like Thai food videos that you can pay for I was just gonna say about like travel you could do like one Tick Tock to be like I'm going to Columbia next week and then 90 videos about like the cool things to do there and you just buy that series I would argue you'd be better off making the tick tock that makes you popular and the YouTube long version of that well I would argue you should just go on YouTube period I mean yeah yeah like they're trying to figure out a way to Mac to maximize the revenue that creators can make which is like if I was gonna pay I get that I totally get that because most people don't subscribe to tick tock remember it's like usually for you page stuff for most people so paying to subscribe to a user might actually really not feel as at home on tick tock I think it feels more at home than doing weird charged like video on demand things I mean like to pay for a one-time yeah I I feel like if they went the YouTube the like YouTube subscription series or patreon like uh method or whatever like that would make so much more sense it's just that like you would be surprised at how many people will pay for people's courses on things there's unlimited information about that thing on YouTube already but people still pay for instructional courses yeah like that guy Marquez Brownlee he has like I was then tied to like Trust of that particular instructor right and that platform where I just like Tick Tock feels like a not the same place I just feel like the other one feels way more tick-tocky and Creator based than like this yeah Tick Tock doesn't feel like a place I would go to pay for Content pay for some specific content not even just like extra content yeah I mean it's cool that it's an option and I'm glad Tick Tock is thinking about what is to diversify a little bit in that way and offer it at least and maybe somebody takes advantage of it and it looks really cool and people get ideas from it I see that's why I think it would be amazing if they did it the other way you may be underestimating the power of parasocial relationships I think you're overestimating I I feel like it it feels less parasocial relationship if I buy a person's specific video rather than get like the to open the curtain behind the scenes of like extra videos that they will make I think that's a different that is I think people paying for individual pieces of content because of the parasocial relationship oh that is individual pieces of contact yeah yeah or I think it's I think it's a tougher it there's like a lot of different things going on there that are let's add different things like I think a perfect example is we've done we've done member only live streams right like that to me feels like now once a month I get this live stream where I am in a smaller category of people and a better chance to get in contact with this person that is primo parasocial relationship whereas if I'm just buying an already created video that I get I just only get to open those five of them feels like maybe almost like another step away from parasocial I don't know maybe someone gets creative and like offers custom videos on Tick Tock that you pay for before or you like ask to be made and then pay to unlock you know they can get creative with it it might not just be here's a pack does anybody want to buy it it might just be hey does anybody want to see a video on a certain set of things oh okay yeah you're interested okay I'll make it it's here for you to unlock whenever that type of thing I don't know we'll see people get creative with it but I do think it's funny that instead of just trying to figure out how to monetize Tick Tock with with advertising the way that YouTube shorts is trying to do it tick tock is like Yeah The Creator fund isn't really working uh can you figure out a way for the audience to pay for it instead of actually just trying to figure out an actual ad model I do think it's like especially 100 Revenue like basically is agreeing hey we're making plenty of money by ourselves for now though yeah yeah so I like I liked how successful it is I Like the patreon Model it lets smaller creators be able to turn things into a living because if you do have the super loyal base getting that extra thousand true followers basically exactly yeah like that's incredible this is yeah yeah but this is almost like the opposite of that's why it treats followers that's why I think it's weird it's like you'll just find one follower every five minutes forever instead of a thousand right now forever yeah I don't know I mean I don't know how much people stand each other on Tick Tock you know what I mean yeah that is the other thing there's a pretty notorious drop-off in how connected you feel based on the platform like when people follow each other on Instagram versus YouTube versus even something like Twitter or patreon where you feel more connected and then on Tick Tock you're just sort of like scrolling people you don't know most of the time so I feel like that that does make it that's a new wrench in the dynamic yeah of like how do you monetize this I'm effectively a boomer because I don't even have Tick Tock so I don't really understand the parasocial relationship on there and I mean I have uh Instagram reels so I unders I basically yeah but that's the most Boomer thing you could have said is I don't like this newfangled thing but I do like watching it two weeks well no I don't like watching it I don't like watching it just forced upon me yeah I'm just saying yeah I don't know I I'm not really sure the level of parasocial relationship that happens on Tick Tock I would bet that there are some people that are insanely obsessed with some of the creators on Tick Tock yeah so most of the best examples of successful Tick Tock creators that I've seen have turned it into a following on a different platform yeah so that says this is true Tick Tock this is true yeah so I don't know I guess we'll see I mean they uh like they said they're taking 100 of the they're giving 100 of the revenue for now it's great to me that says we're gonna see how this actually plays out that's it ends up being successful we take 30 yeah like that all right Andrew I had a question for you actually yeah are you you remember how you said you were gonna review everything for what are you still reviewing everything yes but I'm like I've found that I need to give myself Point more time to review things and I like because if I'm going to be this specific which I also think plays into I don't want to go to ranty again but yes I would I'm trying things more often I'm reviewing them and I'm also just returned like I'm returning things and giving them bad reviews actually there's a pair of socks I bought the other day and I got very upset and then I got ghosted by the website and then and then you left a review yeah and then they refunded me another two weeks after that dang dang so my review is probably deleted but oh yeah for sure my question I have I have just been thinking I have these several weird review scenarios happening to me at the same time that just made me think of like how do I review this this product and is and am I just reviewing the product or am I reviewing the the overall experience can I clarify real quick you're not talking about like something we're doing for work you're talking about like a more personal thing that you can review on a website okay so they are actually personal purchases that I've made so so here's one of them I bought a year and some change ago a table a marble uh like a like a small counter height dining table uh from Wayfair I'll just name and shame I mean I can already tell you two stars okay so it was a great table and it lasted like that year and a half or whatever it looks great it was sturdy everything I liked about it pointed towards like I never reviewed it but if I did this would be five stars and then uh a week and a half ago it just broke spontaneously not quite full shattered like that uh tempered glass thing that we have but I have a picture of it and we'll put it on the podcast where like the side of it just kind of like broke open like it cracked like but like like big crack big crack like sharp dangerous crap like fit your picky up to your first knuckle crack yep pretty bad so this table just breaks out of nowhere spontaneously I'm like whoa that's that's really weird was it because it was sitting in the sun I don't really know how to address like how to diagnose the problem but it clearly broke like okay well I can't keep this table or keep using it so I go back online and I start looking for other counter height similar size tables that would fit the same look and for like an hour I'm going through all these other options I'm reading reviews uh this one's built cheaply this one's plastic this one doesn't it's square instead of circular all these other things and you know what I landed on the original listing for the table that I bought and I started reading the reviews for the table and everyone loves it and nobody mentions it breaking so I'm like is is it still five stars even though it broke I called them I was a year and a half out so they were like oh yeah it's out of warranty so we can't do anything sorry you're kind of screwed and I was like all right well I need to buy another table am I gonna buy the same table because everyone had great experiences and it seems like nobody else was broken maybe it was a freak accident or do I go with a different lower rated table I don't know I'd probably buy the same table I might okay are you allowed to re to edit reviews on Wayfair I I don't know maybe I haven't left my initial review yet well that would be interesting because if you're not then that doesn't necessarily mean all those people didn't have that issue it means they left their review that's really early exactly it's possible a lot of people like built the table set it up and a week later they were like I love this thing and left a great review and then disappeared and then everyone's table broke and nobody can adjust their reviews Amazon does let you review yeah edit reviews and I actually usually find those ones to be like that's something I like to look for three months later yep and they'll be like update and it's like oh that means something important enough happens that either it got that much better or that much worse and if that happens down the line and you're willing to go back and review it that feels like major green flag to me like I want to read that review I'm submitting a review on Wayfair right now so I reviewed this you did an originally review it right I didn't originally review it but now that I've done that do your deed to the people also if I I would just not buy something off Wayfair I would go for something really no I was looking at a bunch of other tables online on a bunch of other different websites like I googled this specific type of table I wanted and went through all these other sites and it landed me back on this one table that is on Wayfair yeah I feel like Wayfair is just kind of like Amazon at this point where they're just bringing a bunch of third-party garbage and making it look incredible and it's all just like white labeled the same trash and if one of them gets really good I don't know I submitted a review and it says pending review so it's not even on the listing yes would you review it I just I just submitted like a blanket that I got just put a five star thing and hit submit and now it says pending you're just five stars have reviewed the table that broke no no no just a random other thing to see if I could edit a review okay they have to review your review it sounds like they're gonna review my review there what if you review their review David no David no we were David it was suddenly back in February like what happened I bought something recently um period um and I'm probably going to review it because it was way worse than I was expecting okay what happened uh so I bought some exercise clothes um because I have traditionally only had one exercise shirt one exercise pair of shorts uh and I need more so I bought some random like no name brand on Amazon because it came with three pairs of like shirts and shorts funny enough how do you pronounce that I think it's baidya nice okay yeah it's Bui jya all caps always that's that's good first off red flag immediately Amazon listing all Cap Caps company name red flag yeah immediately but so it comes with three pairs of both a shirt and shorts red flag no that's comparable to Old Navy pricing red flag you don't buy socks in bulk I the last pair of pants I bought at Old Navy I wore them immediately to a wedding and my whole crotch just split open and I had to do the whole rehearsal dinner with oh my God the pants just ripped down the center so I think coming in a package I don't know if it'll be a yellow flag yeah it was a pack of three I thought value because like look I'm just going to the gym how bad could these possible I just need to get them sweaty like that's the only thing I'm using them for right so I opened the the package and I I wear them and I like go to wear them and the pants are literally backwards like that drawstring is is coming through the wrong side of the pants on the back and the pockets are backwards too and I was like I walked into the gym I walk into the locker room and Dave is just like looking at his pants I was like because I put them on and I tried to put my hands I try to put them on the way it looked like it should be and I tried to put my hands in my pockets of like these pockets are backwards and then I realized no the the drawstring part is backwards so I was like wait that's weird this brand like makes weirdly shaped pants hold on and then I can I cut you off and I think it's just the question we all have yeah the drawstring and the pockets are facing opposite directions opposite direction oh okay okay you put I thought you just had them on backwards it just sounded like you had them all backwards no no yeah my feet are facing this way and the pants are facing the other way okay so okay look okay so I put them on and yeah the drawstrings like in the back like on my lower back and I'm like that's really weird yeah right so I just dealt with it and and I thought like I guess this brand just puts the drawstring around the back which is confusing modern Chic Vibe yeah but then the next day I opened the the next pair and there the right way so I'm just like they literally made that part of the pant backwards I think what see what you need to do is use the backwards pants for core day because when you're doing sit-ups the forward the backwards facing Pockets will prevent your phone from falling out when you're flying down but your tailbone will be on your tailbone no no because if the pockets are backwards then the drawstrings the right way front oh if I flip it around yeah well it Rockets if the pockets are oh that's good are they Side Pockets or boom they're Side Pockets I think I've turned this one star review to a five six feature okay the other problem is that feature or a bug every single yeah feature but it's only one pair of the pants because I bought six right because you only have one core day per week yeah exactly exactly yeah um and then every single shirt just has tons of like threads hanging out of it like it is the lowest oh and I got a medium and they're like extra large they did look pretty they're so big so anyway I'm gonna I'm gonna review I just I this is a learning experience here because the name of this this listing is just the ultimate Amazon red flag and I think we can we can connect this to Tech here I'm gonna read it for you right okay men's workout clothes athletic shorts shirt set three pack for basketball football exercise training running gym that's every Amazon list exactly yeah the more words in the title the bigger the red flag is I feel like yeah the yeah there's a lot of things about that I think I would probably be like this is an Amazon but when you bought it it was a 4.4 star listing it still is which is not that bad compared like I was looking at Value versus like ratings right how many ratings is it there are 1 346 ratings I would I would take a shot on that yeah like the value versus rating scale I was like yeah but then I it's 4.4 but then when you when you expand the five star there's only 67 five-star reviews and then is it like stratified evenly or is there a bunch of two and one Stars 67 and then 16 oh it's like a percent yeah so but there's a you notice there's more a little bit more reasons the reviews are pretty positive all this year did you get a fluke backwards elastic package and with like crazy oversized like you just got a weird bad one but that was only one pair of pants and then all of the other ones were still terrible quality and super oversized this person only got the shirts they didn't even send them the pants Oh My Gosh okay you gotta so what are you gonna what do you what is your story I'm gonna give this I was it was probably I was thinking two star because the sizing is completely wrong like the backwards pant thing is like funny and weird and I don't really care but like the fact that it's super oversized and the shirts just have threads like hanging out of them constantly it just feels low quality like I think the two star even though again they're just exercise clothes and I really don't care but they managed to goof it up that bad and if I could get it for the same price at Old Navy then maybe I do that I'm gonna I'm thinking about this table I think I'm going to I think I'll go to a furniture store and look yeah but it's gonna be 20. that's a lot of work I know it is I know it is but it's also a lot of work to throw the like attempt to return this table or get rid of it and we had another one and set it up yeah I mean I with a friend like I could go to Furniture I just won't know if the table is going to explode by doing anything different you might get a better warranty though yeah oh this time I'm going to probably get the warranty that's more than one you can buy it you can buy it I'd skip the warranty I always skip the warranty that's my thing so I just I take good care of stuff but this one just exploded uh one other thing uh wait is this another review another review yeah um I bought a set of wheels and tires for my Tesla oh so it's a site that just does wheels and tires for Tesla just Wheels actually and they happen to sell a wheel and tire package okay and so they ship you the wheels with the tires mounted already I got the wheels I went to a a shop they Jack it up they put the wheels on and one of the wheels is one of the tires is flat and I go oh you got to air up this tire it's not I can't drive home unless you air it up they air it up I drive home the next morning tire is flat again Ah that's weird I air it up I come home from work it's flat again oh it's leaking that's like the obvious answer uh I go have it looked at at a tire place and the cords like the seal around the rim is just leaking as if it was ripped during installation everything else about the rims gorgeous Wheels I love the wheels the tires are installed everything else about them is great but I can't drive because yeah but I have to literally and I probably will end up having to get another tire what is the what's the star rating well you're also I mean it sounds like a fluke right I mean they'll replace it right what's their return policy I think that's what it'll depend on I would wait until the customer service yeah yeah are you need to gonna need to get two tires if you have to get new ones I know they're all matching uh I will have to I'm guessing what I'm going to need to do is they they damage the tire when they mounted it so I'll have to get one new tire and get that installed wait the second time you've had work done on a vehicle where they kind of damaged it a little bit wait wait but you said the tires were installed already yeah they mounted the tire onto the wheel and then shipped me the four wheels with the tires oh yeah so the company not the place you got to install that right okay sorry I thought you installed them just like took them and put them on the car for sure they didn't do anything bad it's the the shippers who like put the wheel and tire package together those are the ones I think that I need to I would go through the customer service policy and like wait for that and then if they return it and it's good and it's easy and they're doing it for everybody then that's on you that part's on you but if if the customer service is good then it's five stars to be fair they probably shouldn't have sent one that was messed up to start with but I agree yeah I would do four four because mistakes happen though yeah but if you if you're not lucky enough and you don't have another card you could potentially be missing days of work now or having to rent a car like that's quality control yeah yeah I would do I would do four I can't give it a five okay yeah it's also not it's not subtle when you tear a tire and there's a link in it you know what I mean um uh yes I'll give them benefit of the doubt yeah maybe something weird it's tough to say because it's a slow leak and so they could have like put it all on and then everything looked fine they aired it up and then they shipped them yeah and then they slowly lost air during shipping and they never noticed but I mean I'm not a mechanic but like I'm sure there are a Litany of tools to make sure that the aircraft tire is constant I bet the person who did it in the back of their head is like I hope I didn't rip it oh but they probably knew fire them they probably know well that's the end of mine my segment of exploring weird uh review scenarios I think we should keep this up because I think we constantly have questions about like we review things professionally but there's also like random things that we buy but we're like how how do you review this like backward pants could we do a segment at the end where people send us in things that they've been wondering about I was waiting for the trivia section to say that well too bad my idea now check me Adam so like people send in ideas of things that they people bought something and they send us what they liked and didn't like about it that'd be fun yeah maybe on a slow week and end of the off the rails only only weird things though not just like I bought a toothbrush like if you bought it too yeah like I bought three sets of pants and one of them was backwards and the other one had like the shirts were cute yeah I want to hear about all the weird stuff like that yeah I like that idea all right well let's get into trivia all right lights are back uh speaking I need the new iPhone biggest story of our time that we we were just talking

feature I have feelings about this I have thoughts I don't actually have this feature yet I've been trying to live on reloading Spotify you're the only one that doesn't I'm somehow yeah the only one who doesn't have this beta feature it's like the opposite of what normally happens but hey okay I didn't have it until literally 35 seconds ago and you have it now yeah so like maybe I'll get it soon but here's what it is okay so you know what AI uh synthesized voices can be um AI DJ is basically like it'll play through a playlist which Spotify can curate playlists but it'll also include like a radio DJ voice that like talks you through the playlist as if you're listening to the radio or something so it'll just be a guy going like hey I'm your Spotify DJ your first few songs are from your high school days because you listen to this artist a lot plays a few songs then it comes back and it's like time to change up the mood I have some more songs from the end it's just like a radio yeah AI thing whatever it has some scripts that it reads I don't I I'm not gonna use this ever but it's it's AI everyone who has a company has to do AI in some way so here's spotify's AI I'm gonna let David go off it like let David talk on his because so I was in your okay DMS David likes it Adam likes it Marquez and I were super skeptical of it you no no you I've tried I tried it all last night and all this morning so I have notes but I want you to talk about I want want you to talk and then I'll show you my notes okay so the The Voice map that of the guy that is talking to you there's only one voice but it's based on one of their early employees okay so they got like a lot of his voice and then they he's got a DJ voice yes yeah sounds like a DJ um and they got script writers and a bunch of other people to like kind of decide on how he was going to talk how he's going to mix it around but I I really enjoy it because like I was just listening to it um this morning and then it's like yeah we're gonna throw it back to the music you were really liking in 2018 and I was like damn this kind of nice I mean just it was how about you just play the song yeah but it does it for me I mean yeah I think this is my like my initial thought was that's cool but it's because you have a playlist called my top songs of 2018. I do is just playing that and I like can go back to that but like the fact that it's jumping around to a bunch of different stuff that is the thing I like about it and and like I think that we have we're always on a sine wave of wanting more control and wanting less control like the reason that people watch they're like uh what is it called that TV channel that just like Cycles through TV but it's online but it's streamed I don't remember that do you remember stumble upon the website yeah it sounds like that we're like yes wow yeah I think that people are in a phase where they kind of don't they have over too much choice and over abundance of choice and they just kind of want to be served stuff and the fact that like regular radio right has no mapping to you it's like a billboard right it's like you're going by a billboard it has probably has nothing to do with your interests the radio is the same way and it's probably if you're listening to 96.9 the eagle it's only going to play classic rock radio but this one is tailored to the music that you've liked over the years and you can hit the DJ button to be like I'm not really into this and over time it will better match your taste so it's like a better version of what Spotify already does Okay so I would like all of this without the DJ voice so like just like an endless there's already without the DJ yeah there's like lots of good playlists it's got like a hip-hop mix that's tailored to my hip hop listen so it's got a bunch of hip-hop artists I listen to and then radio sprinkles in some more then there's a pop mix then there's a Kanye mix then there's a drake mixed and there's a dead mouse mix a muse mix and they're all like because those are things that I've listened to and so it'd be cool to have like a Throwbacks plus modern whatever like but I don't want the voice context too and it's like so I like yeah I think we can we all agree that Spotify is really good at making these playlists right yeah like discover weekly all that kind of stuff is incredible like they do a great job at that and the tailored to you part is super important I do like the fact that he jumps between them I kind of wish I could just say like here's a bunch of playlists I have can you Shuffle between playlists and then like do that without the voice that'd be cool I think that would be cool he sometimes talks a little long he sometimes is a little quick yeah he like okay some of the things he's saying is basically just like like the scriptedness of it is just essentially explaining the name of the playlist because it's like here's the songs you liked in 2018 it's just popular 2018 songs that you listen to I also have noticed with a couple bands or like artists he's got a very grocery store self-checkout Vibe where it's like you really liked songs from 2018 so you're gonna listen to banana and like it's just like it says the name of the artist really oh really some are totally fine some of them they're he they tried to pronounce Foo Fighters and I thought they said firefighters and I was very confused which this brings me to my next point the immediate thing I thought of this was this is like radio how are they gonna bake ads into this oh no because it's only for premium subscribers so no I already got something I think I could kind of relate to an ad which is it was like you've listened to the foof you seem to enjoy the Foo Fighters who are going to be starting their touring again blah blah blah soon and then giving me close by tour dates which I can only use gave me nearby tour dates because they're starting a tour again and then that was the intro to this like next five songs it played one Foo Fighter song and then four songs that were from a completely different genre so it really felt forced sorry just to enunciate the force I'll slam the microphone but it really felt like pigeonholed in there to be like Foo Fighters are playing near you and Foo Fighters absolutely paid to put their tour dates on Spotify well that's exactly right why I enjoy this so much yeah because right now it's cute it's cool there's a voice but with location data with all the data Spotify has about you with if I want to start a running playlist and just be like I'm running give me the DJ hyping me up playing with Tempo songs that match my Pace to give me the weather while I'm driving to work what's the traffic on my commute to work and I just hit the aid DJ and it does all this yeah like that is where they're headed I want this I hope because that I get it I could see I get it because they're never gonna replace a human DJ yeah like they was saying it's like a human DJ is broadcasting to everyone but if they could get an AI DJ to do the same things but be very specific to you yeah it's over it's like the Google Assistant of your audio world yeah listening yeah yeah I get it I have two more things that I noticed sorry do you have anything else to say because I feel like I just I took a bunch of notes one so I had two things back to back that were kind of weird okay it brought up hey here's an artist you used to listen to but they've seen to fallen out of your rotation let's bring it back it was some like Lo-Fi playlist that I must have played when I was working once so it was like really strange so I immediately skipped all five songs and then it like I must have skipped them too fast and it got confused because then there's just 15 seconds of Dead Silence with the but like my Android auto said the DJ was up and it just like didn't know what to say I just waited speechless and then you just like came back so it was like clearly processing what it wanted to recommend me next and that that I thought was kind of weird but I have been trying to think of like what I think this could do you're talking about like running Tempo I think it would be cool like I'm going on a 30 minute run can you pick songs that will end at 30 minutes like so you're not ending a run at a certain point or like a warm-up Tempo then like right in the middle get really intense yeah yeah and yeah and basically but so here's here's a pitch that I have that I I think could be cool we've all played pod quiz right do now the first five is always music based and it's like Play a clip of a song and you guess I think it's always my favorite part of pod quiz If the DJ could somehow do something like I'm going to pick 20 songs that you might know and I'm gonna play you clips of them and you can like play this in your car of like guessing the song and the artist and like I think that would be that's what I'm saying this is Limitless when you tailor things specifically to the user it makes the the possibilities yeah a lot bigger okay let me let me propose another version of this to you and see if it sounds absurd or not YouTube has a recommended page let's say in a theoretical World YouTube can put together a quick AI generated 10 video playlist for you based on what it knows you like watching and it's usually pretty good but then also insert a video AI Alex Trebek all right next video for you is going to be a throwback to use to watch when you were younger okay it's me at the zoo and you skip a few too fast and then you get to the end of the playlist and he just looks at you like I wasn't ready for that man hold up new video different mediums I like the playlist just minus the the I don't know I would like that here's mine at movie theaters yeah but music you listen to over and over and over again videos you'd probably talk on here here is my Counterpoint and another thing I think could be interesting is I wish it was more interactive potentially with voice or it could be with forward and back buttons because in your car it you should not be controlling your phone yeah I wish the DJ in some sense was like hey uh we can either play oldies from the 70s or the stuff you listen to in 2019 and I could like give it the direction or like scoot it in a certain direction because right now it really is just going all over the place like sending me Summer 2018 into Lo-Fi beats into Dua Lipa is like yeah that's wild crazy sounds like a Vibe I do think that eventually they'll introduce some sort of natural language processing their house and interact with it and you can be able to interaction I'm kind of thinking of more like I want some Island Vibes right now and then it just is like yeah Island Vibes you were listening to those in 2018. I heard you on Island Vibes yeah I don't know I I it's very beta I think there's potential it's very beta I think it has a lot of potential um it's based on a company that they bought only a year ago so they like implemented it very quickly and I could see them doing a lot of like chat GPT style natural language processing uh injection pretty soon so I'm I'm down on the DJ as it exists now but I'm you've talked me into its potential future I think it is a success we did that yeah we convinced Marquez of something yeah that's not too bad he can't use it let me use the feature I'm just gonna throw this out here solely out of pettiness when I was uh applying to college as a high schooler I applied to like this fancy Business and Technology hybrid program at a university I'm not going to aim and I uh I wrote an entire essay about how Pandora's music Genome Project was worthless because all the important data as far as music went is going to be user data and listening data because you never like a song because you liked another song that sounds exactly the same you like a song because of the time you heard it and who showed it to you and I was like whoever can collect all this data and use it is going to be the you know biggest player in the music industry and I didn't get into the school [Music] but somewhere there's a professor who read that he's like I'm gonna teach this yeah I so I won't name them it rhymes with University of mother and malifornia yeah I like I love shaming the schools I didn't get into it's my favorite Stanford Cornell yeah it's whatever it's no big deal so there's one other thing we wanted to mention which is a not it's not AI is it it's a micro machine learning machine learning so slowly A J super resolution uh super resolution video yeah this okay well I pitched this to you this morning about talking and you had some strong thoughts you want me to read the the and then you can sure okay cool yeah so very quickly Edge is introducing a new feature that can use machine learning to upscale online video content to create higher resolutions the videos have to be 720p or lower they can't be DRM perfect protected so Netflix Hulu HBO stuff like that probably mostly YouTube videos um and you have to have some certain uh Hardware requirements so like 20 series or higher or an RX 5700 or higher um then it also says Microsoft has not mentioned if VSR can boost 720p resolutions to full 1080 which we're just like what's out there yeah um I know David's worked with video resolution yeah upscaling stuff before yeah so like that's why I kind of saw interesting and like in an ideal world if I can play me at the zoo at a higher resolution or like old stuff like that yeah it sounds cool before you I know you really don't think this is ever gonna happen how's your uh like your upscaling yeah how is it uh it does really bad with hard edges so text is terrible it kind of looks like if you put into Dolly to like make a sign that says something and you know how the text is just like random letters all scrambled and kind of like they don't really have hard edges I remember upscaling for a video we were working on the original Apple like iPhone keynote because it's only available in like 240p yeah you've done it for me before for a couple podcast things yeah and I upscale it to 4K and like Steve Jobs looks great the theater looks great everything looks kind of great but all the presentations on on the screen are just the text is just totally scrambled yeah so we've upscaled a few of the videos we've posted on the waveform Twitter from 720p to 4K and no one's like noticed or said anything yeah and also it's gotten way better recently um the tote I used topaz video AI for that before and I think that within the last year or so all of this video upscaling stuff has gotten away way better like Nvidia has Dynamic super resolution and all this different stuff and I'm just throwing this out here I have no proof of this but I think one reason they might be closing the edge upscaling to older stuff is because I find when I try to upscale things that were shot on film or shot on analog video it can't make sense of what it's seeing like it try I think it's really noise instead of well I think it's probably trained on high resolution like 4k digital video so like the soft lines and the noise and the subtle color banding it just freaks out because it has no reference to look like yeah that makes sense yeah yeah my my take on upscaling is it's generally not good generally so I've used various and I think also this is this is Source dependent so upscaling like I've seen a lot of really uh like interesting demos of upscaling video Technologies on a TV and it's like I will play a 720p video on this TV with the TV's upscaling technology turned on and it'll look like 4K and then I play it and I'm like it looks like sharpen 720p I know what that looks like so I've never looked at uh the result of upscaling and thought wow mission accomplished it looks like the higher version high-res version um and I think that also applies to audio where like the worse your source is the harder it is to do a good upscale so like me at the zoo 240p 480p video Whatever It Is will never look like new modern digital video because of the way it was captured it just there's other than like really severely altering it there's no way to make it look like normal 4K video I think with diffusion you can do that though because like they yeah then you're like generating and adding yeah yeah yeah versus like sharpening and that can look good yeah the the old upscale I would completely agree with you that like a few years ago upscaling looked pretty trash but some of the most recent examples that I've seen have been actually quite good and I don't know whether they're using diffusion or whatever but I think that there are new AI models that do it a lot better yeah I have yet I would really love to see like some of this in action I should probably should try it on edge yeah we should try this this isn't out yet oh yeah but we can try it on some of the other in video or topaz you said you were using yeah but yeah I don't know I want to try the the no I do want to try the edge one when it comes out um it's not out quite yet yeah it one thing to think about though I think though is like I don't think 720p is gonna look as good as 4K but if 720 can look 70 it can be close to 4K it'll still look way better than 720 like we should test it with your your uh HP laptop video we should upscale that bad boy because that's rough lighting and I think the tonality is still going to look exactly like yeah that quality you won't get more Dynamics you won't get more yeah it'll be like a like a nice sharpening filter yeah with like a little more detail in some of the finer lines maybe so now we need your YouTube DJ to play Old YouTube videos upscale so then we can just flashback YouTube remastered here's one you will watch in 2007. HP Elite Pro remote review Minecraft tutorials tutorials are good yeah that's funny all right we're gonna take another quick break to talk about the top 10 phones in the world in 2022 objectively objectively but first [Music] all right so last night Andrew Adam me a few other people went to a hockey game a New Jersey Devils game so I thought today would be a fun week to do a Tech hockey collab question let's go I finally might have the advantage get it wrong so maybe uh the NHL has an official app for players and coaches it's called sap hyphen NHL it runs on iPad and it gives all sorts of like live statistics live insights it's actually like the kind of data it provides is super duper cool yeah um but the trivia question today is on game day at the arena how many iPad Pros is each team allowed to have okay maybe I might have an answer that's also an interesting question because the Flyers coach banned all iPads off of their bench so is are the Flyers paying off of there sports um yeah [Laughter] we'll be right back foreign for this episode comes from gigabyte so from their top tier gaming to powerful content creation gigabyte is looking to take you to the next level with their

accuracy discover more at orris.com laptops slash Landing all right welcome back to the official countdown of the top 10 best smartphones of 2022 and by best I mean I mean most unit sales globally of the Year number one is the yellow iPhone I mean no doubt about that yeah but 100 2020 is locked already 100 of you we already know how this year's gonna go but this is 2022. um so this is uh this is a some data Gathering From a site called Counterpoint and they've actually broken it down into a pretty interesting chart which is every single month uh we have the top ten for the year but then for every month how many where on that list each one of them was it's rank yeah it's rank for the year so it's really cool so let's just I think we're just going to put this chart on screen so you can see this real quick and for our audio listeners I'll just break it down our top 10 smartphones starting at number 10 is the Samsung Galaxy a03 number nine is the iPhone SE number eight is the iPhone 14 pro number seven is the iPhone 14. number six is the iPhone 12 number five is the iPhone 13 Pro I'm sensing a trend here yeah number four is the Samsung Galaxy a13 number three is the iPhone 14 pro Max number two is the iPhone 13 Pro Max and number one is the iPhone 13. this was surprising for a couple reasons to me number one this is global yeah so this I mean this is I would expect this in the US right for sure but there are a lot of other markets and a lot of other regions where I don't expect to see much on the premium iPhones like at all like a lot of countries a lot of regions just don't buy premium iPhones like that um and that also we don't see premium phones from other manufacturers that are competing with the iPhone so then you look at the month to month and it gets even more interesting uh obviously the iPhone 14 series didn't come out till September so they don't have anything listed on there on this list until September uh where the iPhone 14 pro Max debuted at number one and was number one for September October and November and then gave up its spot to the iPhone 14. um and it stayed at number two so the pro Max is the one that's actually selling the most volume and it sold so much volume in those four months that it became the number three best-selling phone on the planet for the entire year that is a lot of volume and when you obviously Apple sells the most volume right at the beginning of the of the release but that's gigantic yeah um then the 14 pro sells a lot the 14 the 13 people are still buying the iPhone 12 in such mass that in January it was the number four best-selling phone of the entire month in March and March and April and May and June and July was all top five every single month people just buy iPhone 12s regularly that's insane I mean the iPhone 13 [Music] 44 so people continue buying the iPhone 13. crazy yeah yeah this is like also really disheartening for like Samsung yeah because if you're Samsung first of all you wish that your premium phones would sell in the same mass and be your most popular phones but clearly here it's the a13 and a03 which are like 190 phone and 100 phone selling the most volume and number two instead of buying a cheaper Android phone people are buying old premium iPhones which is really interesting like people would actually go buy an iPhone 12. at what I presume is not a very steep discount from what we know about Apple's pricing yeah um they'll keep it in the lineup drop it by maybe 50 to 100 bucks you know when they put the like graphic on stage so yeah this is it feels crazy opening because like the amount of phones that real me and read me a lot all of these guys make so many variants of all their phones and you would imagine that they would ship like hundreds of millions of units and in some markets they they do so like yeah like in India they sell like craploads yeah in China and like walking phones that is probably part of it though is like because this is by model when Samsung and real may not have like 30 models and then those 30 models each year or whatever like it's so much so one interesting thing about this graph is between the third spot and the 10th spot is 1.7 to 1.1 percent so like yeah 10 to 20 could be neck and neck and that's where we could see a bunch of other Samsung phones a bunch of other real new phones the other thing here though is the number one spot is five percent of total market share globally was the the iPhone 13 yeah and then the next closest was half of that yeah Apple totals about 15 of all global market share with these charts so this this is the type of chart then that favors Apple because they have so few models yeah and that they're not the number one uh global manufacturer of phones by volume I mean they might be like number three or something like that yeah I think we'll always surpass them for a while a number of years ago but now I'm not sure if it was by volume I almost wonder if they could they would even be top five no I I wouldn't be surprised if they were but you think of like Huawei honor real me yeah there's just so many phones Samsung but they have so few models that in order to get a model at the top of this list it's easier when they have less models so yeah it's still like Samsung still has like clear flagships like s 23 23 plus and 23 Ultra are kind of like their flagships in the same vein as these iPhone flagships but they didn't crack the one percent Mark so they didn't end up on this list yeah yeah I mean it does still seem like apple has a huge amount of market share like Samsung is a is above them uh with let's see q1 of let's see Q4 of 2022 oh Apple was above them I don't know yeah they sold 70 million phones of Q4 in of 2022 and Samsung sold 58.3 million phones you know also yeah another stat that just keeps blowing my mind more and more is in the US how dominant they are among young people so like you think of like what's a dominating market share for a smartphone in any one country you'd think like 50 for one company is pretty crazy that's 60 is crazy 70 is like dominant and then the numbers of like uh people in the US ages like 18 to 24 18 to 24. no it's like 90 plus it's like an insane percentage of people who specifically get pressured into the iPhone and the ecosystem because not only do all their friends already have one but their parents have one it's just like the communities have them it's just it's just the phone in the US well it went up from I'm trying to remember the years but within a five-year span between I think 20 2014 and 2019 it went from 40 of 18 to 24 year olds in the US owned an iPhone to 75 this is just a recent article I pulled up from Phone Arena according to uh their survey nine out of every 10 teenagers in the in the US on an iPhone 87 9 out of every 10 87 percent nine out of every ten that's insane most people yeah in in like that age bracket like 13 to 19 whatever so it's crazy it's crazy how dominant they are in this one country but then it is kind of eye-opening to see a global chart where I think the global thing is what surprised me the most here because I know we talk about Apple a lot because we're us-based but we clearly get a lot of comments that's like Apple's not big where I am they're way too expensive or like import fees all this stuff and like but I think it said they're most popular in US UK Germany France and China and like if you just really can dominate a few markets you really can dominate Global sales like it's yeah pretty crazy yeah I think that really shows the power of the ecosystem lock-in especially in that age group like if you're not able to use the thing that the social dynamics of the other people your age use you're going to get Outcast and that's the worst age to get outcast in because you're trying to make friends you're growing as a person and it just it's a strong it's an Oro Boro so it eats its tail because it the more people that get pressured into getting an iPhone then they become part of the amoeba that pressures other people to become part of their amoeba and eventually the smaller amoebas just get completely eaten and it turns into one they grow out into crabs we're all back to crabs that's a that's a deep cut but yeah I don't know it's like it makes sense that scent in the last five years the uh the market share has grown that much in Apple's favor because they're the most ecosystem forward brand and because they already have a dominance that's just going to keep getting bigger and bigger and there's gonna be a day where there's like 99 of teenagers have iPhones in the US that's that's always been an interesting question is like can any other brand crack this because you can obviously emulate the same pressures with your own ecosystem but you also have to get switchers so like Samsung can build a really strong ecosystem and they have like you can get a Samsung laptop that talks to your Samsung phone and has Samsung services and it has their own version of airdrop and their own all this stuff like works really well together Huawei does the same thing Opera does the same thing but you also have to bow balance the the people who are already in a different ecosystem and get them to switch into your ecosystem which is way harder so I think it's tough to like pick someone cracking This and like actually starting to turn over market share and get into what Apple's doing yeah well in the fragmentation of the fact that like yeah you can have a Samsung phone and you can have a Samsung laptop but it's actually a Microsoft laptop because Microsoft makes the software this is true and just the the level of parity between those devices if they're not made by the same manufacturer is just always glitchy and buggy and never really works that well because like what is Microsoft's incentive to make this random Samsung pairing app any good yeah and it'll be a Samsung laptop with an Intel processor exactly and the other yeah Microsoft's OS and it's like you look across the aisle and it's an apple chip with an Apple computer with an apple piece of software on it and like an Apple phone of course they all work great together like apple Architects things within the hardware to be some software features that work well with their other devices yeah you can't do that if you're fragmented as a device yeah so this is tough anyway they're pretty good at this huh yep people always ask like oh wow well there's always a there's always the like wow you guys do a lot of iPhone videos and then you look at uh we were joking about the iPhone the yellow iPhone being the biggest story of our time joking what I mean of course it is the biggest story over time but it's like you wonder why so many uh we were talking about the this is another thing I could make a video about if I really got if I really wanted to I don't actually want to but about um YouTube channels because there are so many YouTube channels there are now increasingly fewer ways to differentiate yourself in the YouTube ecosystem and so you see like back when I started if you were a tech YouTube channel that was enough of a differentiator if you'd be like oh wow you do Tech you do videos but you do Tech videos that's really interesting I haven't seen that and now there's a bunch of tech videos now there's people who just do smartphone videos or people who just do software or just do productivity inside of tech yeah and now we're so saturated that there's just like what can you latch on to to just you know sort of drag yourself above the noise and and all the saturation and I think a lot of people find that just making apple videos is just yeah people are interested in apple there's always a popular Apple product around we might as well just hook onto that or like the menorah fish on the side of the shark you know so I don't know if there's a video essay in there somewhere but that I think that's even too saturated at this point Apple channels now you need to unbox iPhones while jumping out of a plane it's true because there's gonna be a bazillion Apple videos and and if you're not on the first page of search you might as well just I mean is Bing AI ever gonna find you nope probably not steal your content yeah by the way it's not a menorah fish what is it sorry thank you kill me I can't believe I got I'm sorry thank you for that thank you for that so yeah it's a real thing the iPhone turns out is a pretty popular phone I can't wait to tell my grandkids like in my day we hadn't we had Android phones shut up Grandpa it's time for bed all right girl two different reports and you had to pick one Android it's not real go to bed no the there are ancient menu scripts that detail the Samsung Galaxy S um super old carcass of a video idea in video board which is is the iPhone the most successful product of all time and I started like writing down others that could possibly compete with it one of them is sliced bread well so it has to be a company who's made a product foreign Tech is one of the things that iterates every year so you have newer and newer versions of the product so it keeps getting sales so Ford Model T doesn't really have a modern equivalent that I can say oh it's one of the most like successful products ever it turns out Toyota Corolla every single year is one of the best-selling cars on the planet for a long time yeah you can make an argument for that or F-150 you can make an argument some others I saw um Lipitor a drug product that's just been popular and useful to people for a long time penicillin and then some other random dark horses like the Harry Potter series or um just another rant just like a one-off thing Pokemon yeah like like one-off media entities which are really interesting but I ultimately kept going back to the iPhone I think the iPhone is probably hands down the most successful individual product ever yeah I love Harry Potter that's really quiet I love Harry Potter it is like my thing I have tattoos for it and everything it doesn't hold a candle so the iPhone it's just like cultural impact was probably a higher Spike for Harry Potter but the iPhone yeah I don't know I don't know I still meet people that are like oh I've never read the books oh I've never watched the movies so maybe and it's Heyday Harry Potter and it's absolute Heyday was like every kid it's like Pokemon was standing outside the store waiting for the book to drop or at least just like the iPhone or at least knew about it yeah right because it was like a it was a book instead of 100 300 500 thing everyone knew about it but then it's got to get translated in all these languages and it's got to be International too I'm just like the iPhone starts new economies almost like right the iPhone started so many new sections it is the reason apple is what it is and then they have all these other businesses that are built on top of the iPhone being popular which is just like the iPads the App Store entire App Store like all of that is from iPhone yeah exactly I think it's hard to compare product to like story based entertainment too yeah that was like a dark horse yeah like the Apple watch is the most popular watch on the planet it's an iPhone accessory yeah it's what it is yeah so that's true yeah I think yeah and airpods are like one of the biggest companies in the world on their own right if you were to map out all headphone companies like Sony makes headphones so we consider them a headphone company uh Audio Technica makes headphones among other things um I think airpods would be like a top five like headphone company and Sony makes movies yeah like they make a lot of stuff Nintendo just bigger than all of Sony too just kind of airpods as their own Standalone business are about as valuable as Netflix in its entirety so I think they if they were their own company they would be actually I guess yeah yeah yeah it's insane yeah and they're just iPhone they're an Apple products yeah so yeah the more you know I think we've talked about it I was thinking about making this video but it also kind of felt just like if I make a whole video about why the iPhone is the most popular the most successful product how much did they pay you it just feels like I'm just patting them on the back like congrats guys you did it you really did it this time with the iPhone take a Victory lap make a yellow one yeah they wouldn't dare so it is what it is now it's a podcast thought I think that's appropriate pod thot hashtag yeah David wants to talk about well yeah yeah um it's kind of a quick thing uh yeah I guess this is perfect what we just talked about yeah um realme shipped its first phone that has it's like a extremely Dynamic Island ripoff that it's it's like it's not just like a ROM that you can download yeah or an app that you can download it's literally a feature on this realme C55 phone um and you know what the thing is like apple can't really stop manufacturers from like making software things it's just a software thing it looks it's cool like it's a good idea right I think that the hype behind Dynamic island is probably one of the reasons that the iPhone 14 pro max sold so many units like it's a very simple feature that got a lot of people invested now what I wanted to talk about with this specifically is that one uh people have been complaining since the iPhone 14 pro and pro Max launched that still not that many apps take advantage of the API um but even less apps are going to be made for this one because this is not like this is not like there's an Android API that can take advantage of dynamicon it'd be like real me it would have to be like hey guys uh Uber uh this is calling all developers the real me C55 like every single time a company releases like a fringe product they're they always go like and we opened the API so anyone can make anything like razer's done this a ton of times with like their weird products and nobody makes anything it's tough and the fact that Apple can't even get enough manufacturers to make stuff for the dynamic Island it's like yeah real me is just gonna there's gonna be system information charging animations whatever the charging animation looks it looks dope terrible wow wait I haven't seen it so I don't know what to think right now look at this tell me this isn't a tenth of as good as what apples is and I'm saying that because they wrote super boots in the charging animation how could you it says super boost why would you put that on the top you know what's funny too is it says 99 right next to the battery icon that says 99 exactly this is yeah this is what I would call it in my day a poor use of space this is crazy I mean the space is there right it's a software feature this is funny because it's just a regular webcam hole punch cut out yeah like yeah I do like like having stuff at the top as basically like quick switch I think that's what was cool about Dynamic Island they needed to do it more so in on the full pill cut out if you're gonna do all this for charging why is this also here oh I'm not talking about this I'm not talking about charging I I agree with you on that one but I think to what David said like and it's not even necessarily realme's fault it's not Samsung's fault it's Android in a million different specifications where like to ask a developer to do that is like please hire an entire new branch of this development yeah in order to get it to work so if it's not working on Apple which has like two models that are exactly the same where it's so much easier and we see this in a million different apps and it's just an unfortunate side effect of the Android yeah I mean I'd say the reason that there's still not that many Dynamic apps that take advantage of dynamic island is because yes it's Apple yes it's the iPhone but it's still only two models of the iPhone I would bet you that when the iPhone 15 comes out especially if Dynamic Island comes to the regular model of 15 we're gonna see every app manufacturer taking advantage of uh trying to find developers to do it yeah yeah there's a couple cool ones now my weather app does it Uber does it Spotify does it so we'll see we'll see more yeah um super super teaser we kind of have some of our own first-hand experience in this now too which is kind of interesting so it is what it is it's a it's a Shameless clone which is what the Verge called it and I agree with that um but that is it okay that that concludes our anyway the last trivia question all right so trivia time quick update on the score of course Marquez has eight Andrew has seven David has ten that's right David's in the lead that's a wow that changed yeah Andrew you gotta you gotta get on it yeah catch up and also before we do trivia we did hear feedback and we are going to make this much faster we are doing very strict time limits and we will try and cut out Dead Space so you will just hear the question and you will hear the answer and you will like it and you will rate it well and you will not listen to my rating restrictions and you'll give it five stars you're welcome thank you for that very concise explanation okay you're welcome we're making this longer than it needs to be I've already written we could have just had the delay in the trivia but now we delay the first question yeah so just got the yellow iPhone what was the model number of the last yellow eye model number yeah the model the model oh not the number I mean same thing what was the last iPhone that was yellow yeah okay yeah yeah so you have until the end of this music to write down your numbers or answers okay they're not numbers I just may have confused myself a little but yeah we wrote it down no Adam I did not change but you changed yours from before I'm just saying mine's still what I wrote the first time you're changing it you better hurry up we got about three seconds okay all right flip them and read okay I have to really think about that one oh yeah okay iPhone iPhone I wrote iPhone 10r oh that's not the least I wrote 10r really nope iPhone 5c no is there a 12 iPhone 11 11 was it the last yellow okay because the 11 was when they first didn't they basically the first time they made the pros like quite a bit better so the 11 was almost just like an 11R yeah that's why oh you know what's funny I thought about that too because the 11 always skips my mind I always forget it the 11 was basically the 11R but they just like shifted everything forward yeah all right next question brought to you by I really thought I had that Alice no in a regulation NHL hockey game how many iPad Pros is each team allowed to have what is it called Andrew is it a bench bench so like in one team's bench how many iPads are allowed in that bench not assuming it's two because there's two benches right not in the arena per bench per team per team okay how many iPads are allowed on game day in the arena per team in the arena on game day in the arena no no I'm in the bench I thought wait per team or not per team per team okay on the bench or is this including their characters because they have like analysis people outside of the bench this is uh on the bench okay final final a bench if you guys want contacts a bench holds three coaches and 20 players here's the reason it's important because during the week outside of game day they are allowed X number of iPads per team all right flip them and read because I thought it was a trick question because like the NFL doesn't allow any iPads because they do services but then I changed it to two he wrote two that is the kind of question I would write but that is a great I wrote three I wrote four let's go so on game day they're allowed four and during the rest of the week they're allowed to per team yes interesting that's exactly what my thoughts did you know that or did you just get a nice little guess well I originally wrote two and then I didn't and then Ella said they'd go up I almost changed to four when I said that but I assumed one for each side of the bench and one for the coach one of the coaches Mark has take us home please thanks for watching we appreciate you guys uh please suggest topics for future questions so that we can catch up to David yeah catch you guys in the next one peace bye away from us Bruce by Adam Molina and Ellis rovin we're partnering with VOX media podcast Network and our intro music was created by Vince thank
