How Late is Apple to the Smart Glasses Party?
Просмотров 182Месяц назад
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says that Apple is holding focus groups about what people want from smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Bans. Myke and Jason raise the questions: Is Apple further along than we think? Or has Apple been caught flat-footed-and is their current organizational culture the reason?

This week we recommend some TV shows, differentiate between types of vaporware, and break down the new iPad mini and Amazon Kindles. Then, Myke and Jason try to predict exactly what Apple might announce later this month. Due to a technology disaster, this RUclips video episode a little rougher than usual. Thanks for your patience.

Apple Demands More Money From Patreon and Creators Get Squeezed
I’ve also never had eggnog solely because it sounds gross
Happy holidays! I discovered Upgrade and MacBreak Weeklu this year and I’ve been in love! See y’all in the new year. Lots of love from Montreal Canada
It’s nostalgic seeing Myke playing with a fidget spinner
Jason’s audio was a bit weird.
all our audio is now processed by the app we're using to record the show - if you want pristine audio I recommend the audio podcast ;-)
@@jsnell that makes sense. thanks for the response Jason. Can’t wait to listen to MBW this afternoon :)
Couldn’t get the offer code to work. 😢
UPGRADE20 works here?
Hi. Is something wrong with the video? I'm only seeing the title card for the whole thing.
Never mind. The description wasn't showing for me. 🤦🏼
Same
Go Dodgers!!!!! ⚾️😁
BTW, I witnessed THE PLAY in 1982 live at Cal Memorial Stadium
Jason, great summary of what it is to be a long suffering CAL FB fan. UCB class of 1982
Darn I thought I was going to get a Rolllll on Tide! Great show!
I think the deciding factor for whether or not to announce something with the iPhone is whether or not its something someone would realistically buy while going to pick up the new phone. "oh, I'm getting the new iPhone, maybe I'll get the... while I'm at it" That's plausible for a watch or airpods, not a whole computer
if apple did pull out of a country for example the uk. the uk get 17.5% tax for everything purchased , so the money the uk or any other country would also loose a lot of money from the lose of tax from apple products been purchased in the country .
Hey guys, love the podcast! Glad to see the Vision Pro getting some love! To Jason’s point made at 12:45 there actually is a way so that keyboard occlusion while using Mac virtual display is persistent and not just when you have your hands near the keyboard. If you go into settings and then awareness and safety, there’s an option to turn off bring hands near to reveal. If you turn that off, the keyboard should always remain occluded when using environments. Hope this helps!
I think you've misunderstood me. If I am not looking at the keyboard when I turn the environment on, the keyboard never appears, under any circumstance. Hand placement has nothing to do with it. If I am looking at the keyboard when I turn on the environment, then it is "recognized" and will appear based on that setting.
@@jsnell oh yes, that makes a lot more sense. Apologies for the confusion on my part! I haven’t noticed that being an issue, but I will certainly pay attention to it! Thanks!
Jason might be winking @ us a little with his wardrobe choice! 🇬🇧
celebrating Myke's 10th anniversary of going independent
@ Congrats!! Much earned & well deserved.
Thanks for the early upload!
Thank you Myke for your opinion on Apple Intelligence Image playground. I personally don't agree with you but we can agree to disagree. Let's come back here a year from now and see if this Apple Intelligence feature was a success or a dud.
I love my M1 MacBook Air, but I can’t find a way to fully shut it off. Open the lid, it’ll boot up. Press on the haptic trackpad when it’s “off” will turn it on and it’ll give a haptic. I don’t know if there’s a setting I missed, but I don’t think I can disable that. It’s always sipping power sadly. I can’t necessarily power down my MacBook and walk away from it for 6 weeks (estimate) and have it still work. Which is weird
If you don't want the MacBook to turn on when the lid is opened, turn off AutoBoot. sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00 Not using your MacBook for 6 weeks or more is an edge case. I would suggest making sure that Optimized Battery Charging is on and leave the MacBook plugged in. The MacBook will learn that is being left on the charger and will eventually learn not to charge to 100%. There is also third part software, AlDente, but the default Apple software should learn to protect your battery.
I think it's fair to say this whole thing is a debacle.
its totally him
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these long form tech discussions. ❤this podcast is amazing yeah 👍 boys keep up the good work 🔥👊✅
Great conversation. I really enjoyed "Submerged". I hope we get more like this. Can't wait until we get a whole film in this format directed by a legend, such as James Cameron.
This sounds like a giant turd.
Do you have a recommendation for a larger ereader? The kindles are just too small for me to read comfortably. I hate having to constantly turn the page but I don’t need the writing capabilities of the scribe
Kobo Sage!
Chip's computer came back
Whew! I take all responsibility for this episode because I slapped it together very quickly when Chip's laptop died. Apologies for the lower editorial standards 🙃 but hopefully Chip's MBP will be back and better than ever next week
thanks Jason! we appreciate you <3
Thanks for the episode. Sorry to hear about Chip’s MacBook
Great Show as always! Also. loved having Jason on Connected recently. Missed Stephen but Jason is always great to have on the show.
There are NO compelling games for VP. Why does Apple hate gaming so much? Where is my racing simulator? Where is my tower defense game? Not everyone likes Synth Riders style games. Where is my Space Pirate Trainer style game? Personally, I thought Kittypocolypse was like digital crack for the Vive Pro. I'd take a game like that right now just to keep my busy. Why can't I sit courtside at an NBA game right NOW?
44:10 - Apple released this for two reasons: Tim Cook needed to have sort of new product released under him to point to shareholders that they are still innovating and are a 'growth' company. The Apple Car failure brought too much negative attention to the company; AVP was a way to provide some cover/noise and again show that Apple is alive and innovating. If the Car was not canceled, you can bet the AVP would have been held in development longer or canceled. The perception of Apple being behind in AI is further pushing them to progress in the world of MR/AVP.
I listen to all my podcasts on youtube. i wish connected had a presence here.
I wasn’t fond of the part where they put a torpedo inside of me 😶
Hilarious.
Just finished Wolves, boring nothing seems to happen. Good choice to not put into theaters I would have been annoyed.
Nice show! It's specifically an Apple podcast? The channel/RSS description confused me.
@@eesi7170 Yup. It’s primarily an Apple show. But they dabble in other topics from time to time
@@iFish12 Thanks!
I appreciate the contact sharing change. I actually got very angry a month ago when Uber forced me to share my contacts with it in order to split the cost of a ride. It didn’t allow me to input the info. It forced me to let it ingest my contacts and pick from there. I always selectively allow stuff like that
Apple did the right thing by asking the user. I know a bunch of iPhone users who share their contacts with anyone that asks and do not realize the implications of doing so.
Personally, it was exciting to learn about Meta’s progress from the CEO rather than a drip feed of rumours from Mark Gurman.
Right there with you about clicking the camera control making me shake the phone.
Jason defends Apple so passionately, he must have a lot of very good friends there ❤
Whenever I hear people say any tea has a lot of caffeine, I remember some people do not drink caffeine like I do.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus came in Jet Black, it looked amazing. I still have my 7 Plus in Jet Black.
I got the same macOS install/update issue that Jason had. I had it on 2 MBPs and neither were running the beta. One was the o.g. Macbook Pro M1 with Touchbar and the other was a Macbook Pro M1 Pro. I could not upgrade to macOS 14.7 or 15.0. I had to boot into recovery on both MBPs to reinstall macOS 14.6 on top if itself from a download and then boot the MBPs normally and upgrade to macOS 15.0. My Macbook Air M1 running the beta did not run into this install issue.
No pop filter for Jason 🙉
I can’t agree that the beta AI functionality isn’t useful. Summarizing email works well, for instance. I do agree that Siri performance varies.
I was starting to worry! I started listening to the audio episode instead and I heard y’all mention a recording, but only if things went well. So I assumed they didn’t. But I listened to half the audio, so I’ll finish the other half on video! Very happy to see y’all. We couldn’t hear your new haircut on the audio version Myke
Congratulations! 10 years of Great Content and entertainment.
Congratulations!🍾
Orignal star trak rules , great acting excellent stories . Minimal props yet outstanding world lo engage in. Hollywood today in 2024 is totally lost. Opportunity today is great for independent entities to produce something great and with the power of the internet , bypass Hollywood and be great!
Congrats on the decade!
A good icon should be unequivocal, impossible to misinterpret. I'd NEVER put the Shortcuts icon in that category; while it might be a clever metaphorical translation, as an image it could really be anything. Conversely, Calculator is absolutely S tier for me.
