00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Tech Tuesday with Rich Tomorrow. Rich is

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>heard Saturday's eleven am to two pm right here on KFI.

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 2>He's the kt LA tech reporter, heard.

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Every day or seen every day Instagram at, Rich on

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>tech website, Rich on tech dot TV.

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Good morning Rich, Hey, good morning to you.

7
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Bill.

8
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm just checking to see if Apple Maps had changed

9
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 4>the Gulf of America. Yet doesn't not on my phone

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Google Maps has I know that?

11
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm wondering. You know what. I guess it's going

12
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>to go.

13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>It's going to hit because, as I've often said, as

14
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>America goes, there goes the world in many many instances

15
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>financial and this one. It depends on how much pressure

16
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump puts on this. He may very well say that

17
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to a country, especially a small country, if you don't

18
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>call it Gulf of America, we are going to invade

19
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you in what ype you out completely? So I think

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>they're yeah, I know, I think it may be really serious. Okay,

21
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>let's get to a couple of topics, and that is

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>T Mobile expanding, Starlink star Link satellite connectivity. And now

23
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see the majors Verizon AT and T users.

24
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess be able to use Starlink. I guess they

25
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>move over. Hey, this is the I know Starlink is

26
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk, and I'm assuming this is one of the

27
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>profitable ventures. This is part of visionary of Musk. Tell

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>me if I get this right. The satellites that are

29
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 1>going up are about the size of a shoebox. Matter

30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of fact, I understand that after you buy shoes, he

31
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>actually uses the actual shoe box, and they are all

32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>over the world. So he puts one of his spacecraft up.

33
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Out they go like, you know, little bugs, like a

34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>swarm of bees, and then they connect.

35
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>First of all, will you explain what's going on with that?

36
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

37
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 4>So, I mean traditionally we've had satellite connectivity for you know, many,

38
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 4>many things, right news radio. You've even had satellite internet

39
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 4>for many years, and satellite phone calls. The difference was

40
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 4>those satellites were big and slow. So if you had

41
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 4>something like Hughes, you know, via sat in your backyard,

42
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 4>it was mostly reserved for people who are desperate because

43
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 4>the connectivity was so slow and it was fixed by

44
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 4>the way. So what Elon Musk did and what Starlink

45
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 4>did was they're launching many many tiny satellites. Like you said,

46
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 4>so they're almost blanketing the Earth with these satellites, which

47
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 4>gives you a faster, better signal everywhere. So right now

48
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at t mobiles website. They've got four hundred

49
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 4>and fifty one satellites launched so far, and just to

50
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 4>give you an idea, they're going to keep going into

51
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 4>the thousands, because that's what Amazon's doing as well. This

52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 4>year they're going to start launching their first I think

53
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 4>they said eighty three planned launches for this year and

54
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 4>they're looking at like thirty five hundred satellite So this

55
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 4>is big business. It keeps a lot of people employed.

56
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 4>It's also connecting the world in an entirely new way.

57
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 4>So if you look at what you just said, with

58
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 4>the profitability and all this stuff, we are just at

59
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 4>the beginning where every single airline wants to have this

60
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 4>connectivity on their planes because guess what, you can now

61
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 4>stream full length movies, TV shows, downloads are just as

62
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>fast as your house as they are up at thirty

63
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 4>five thousand feet. Same thing with the smartphones. We've had

64
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 4>this idea of the smartphone, it works, it doesn't work. Now,

65
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden, starting now we have no more

66
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 4>dead zones. You could be on the top of the

67
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>mountain anywhere in the US theoretically later on anywhere in

68
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 4>the world and still have a signal. And right now

69
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 4>it's starting out with just you know, texts and things

70
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 4>like that, but soon it will be pictures. Later it'll

71
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 4>be live video streaming wherever you want in the entire world.

72
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 4>This is just unheard of, you know, in the past.

73
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking lower thorbid, which means I assume they

74
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 1>have to act like cell phones, where the towers bounce

75
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 1>signals off each other and then they go wherever they want.

76
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>That's number one and.

77
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Number two. Aren't they going to run into each other?

78
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 1>When we're talking about ten thousands.

79
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Of these things?

80
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 4>I know someone clearly keeps a grid of where these

81
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 4>things are. But if you look at like any animation

82
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 4>of you know, what Starlink puts out or what Amazon's

83
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 4>putting out with their project Kiper, I mean you just wonder, like,

84
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 4>how the heck is there enough space up there for

85
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 4>all of these satellites that they're blanking us or blanketing

86
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 4>with us with. But somehow, Look, those are people much

87
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 4>smarter than me, Bill that are figuring out how this

88
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 4>is all going to work. But at some point there's

89
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 4>probably going to be talk about like how much space

90
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 4>there is up there and how much room we have

91
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 4>to put these things. I don't know. At this point.

92
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 4>It's also new that I think that that's not really

93
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 4>an issue.

94
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's crazy stuff.

95
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe like the airline, there are certain altitudes that goes

96
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>one way and then you go the other way.

97
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's fascinating stuff.

98
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And incidently, back to the first statement I made, and

99
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>tell me.

100
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>If it's true or not, because I just this was

101
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>just supposition.

102
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It is profitable for SpaceX or whatever, the Starling Company,

103
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 1>whatever he calls it.

104
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I believe so, yes, it is profitable.

105
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>And because this is such a growing business, and by

106
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 4>the way, so many of these airlines are I mean,

107
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 4>there's just so many industries that want satellite connectivity in

108
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 4>a fast way. So to me, the possibilities are endless.

109
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 4>We were at CES this year and you know, by

110
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 4>the way, every car is going to have this in

111
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 4>the future, because already we're seeing some of the new

112
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 4>car companies, like this car company Scout, they are building

113
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 4>starlink into their new evs that are coming out in

114
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 4>a year or so. So again, I mean the money

115
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 4>that is going to be flowing through this industry. This

116
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 4>is why you see these launches every couple of day,

117
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, out of southern California or wherever they launch

118
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 4>these things. Is because you know, and I've seen this.

119
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 4>It's like ten or twelve little satellites all linked up together.

120
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 4>It looks like Santa and It's reindeer up in the sky.

121
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>When they launch these things.

122
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>It's wild, it really is.

123
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Rich, new cheap iPhone is expected this week, So

124
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 1>tell me how you can connect the word cheap with iPhone,

125
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>because I don't get it.

126
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, considering the standard iPhone starts at about eight hundred dollars,

127
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 4>this one is about half the price at four hundred,

128
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 4>but this new one might be a little bit more.

129
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 4>We're expecting maybe closer to that five hundred dollars price point.

130
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 4>But this is the iPhone s. This has always been

131
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of their entry level phone, you know, but it's

132
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 4>gotten better over the years. I mean, this one has

133
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 4>pretty much everything you need. It's got you know, oh well,

134
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 4>it did have a home button until this time around.

135
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 4>So now it's got the.

136
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Face ID, it's got the latest chips that you got,

137
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, all the.

138
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Apple Intelligence features. It's got USB Sport so that's nice, which.

139
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 3>You know all the modern phones have.

140
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 4>And again this is just this is Apple's device that

141
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 4>when you go into the store and you think everything

142
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 4>else is too expensive, and they say, well we do

143
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 4>have this one, and you go, what's the what's the

144
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 4>problem with it?

145
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 3>Like that does everything you need and you say, okay,

146
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 3>we'll get that.

147
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>So what's the difference you have?

148
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>What's what's the differen thing eleven dollars phone and a

149
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars phone.

150
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, really it comes down to the screen quality, you know,

151
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 4>the really.

152
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 3>The quality of the device.

153
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 4>So the features that you you know, the higher end

154
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>features that you get. So for me personally, you know,

155
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 4>comes down to the screen. It comes down to It

156
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 4>used to come down to the processor, but they fix

157
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 4>that as well. So and now of course you're getting

158
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 4>the Apple Intelligence which is interesting. So without seeing the

159
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 4>actual device just yet, I can't tell you like what

160
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 4>you're not getting, but at this point it's it's just

161
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 4>your basic phone. They've added so much to this entry level,

162
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>entry level model that it's a really good value for

163
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 4>the price. And unless you are a super super duper

164
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 4>power user that needs all of the lenses on the camera.

165
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 3>You know you'll be fine with just this.

166
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's I'm looking I'm getting a new phone.

167
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Of course i am.

168
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Because one of the things I love about Apple is

169
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>when the battery goes south, the battery goes south, and

170
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 1>you have a deal with T Mobile and they have

171
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a deal where you're not paying interest.

172
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>They add twenty eight cents to.

173
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Your bill and before you know it, your fifty six

174
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you own the phone or whatever the hell they do.

175
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>So they make it very easy to buy a phone.

176
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But the way you describe it is what am I

177
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>doing with an eleven hundred dollars phone when I can

178
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 1>get everything there.

179
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about pictures.

180
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not looking at broadcast quality video or commercial photos.

181
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, it makes no sense for me to spend

182
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 1>eleven when I can spend five. Boy, I feel like

183
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm more on Thank you for this segment.

184
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Well look, I mean, look, we'll see when this phone

185
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 4>comes out, but yes, this is I think there's pressure

186
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 4>on Apple from the Android side of things, where there

187
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 4>are so many devices out there in a wide range

188
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.480
<v Speaker 4>of price tags that they have to compete and put

189
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 4>this out. And by the way, it's still a great phone.

190
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, if you look at the real nerds

191
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 4>like myself, we would you know, we would be like, nah,

192
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 4>this is not for us. But for the average person

193
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 4>that's just you know, needing their phone to check their messages,

194
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 4>you know, take a picture or two. Again, it's really

195
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 4>not going to be that bad. And especially with all

196
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 4>these features they're expecting to add to this phone, it's

197
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's really you're giving up the camera quality.

198
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 3>That's the main thing here.

199
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the speed, for example, you're browsing, the speed

200
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to be.

201
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Just as fast.

202
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a all the features, I guess I and I

203
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:59.639
<v Speaker 1>just don't care about pictures.

204
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just don't. There's no one I want

205
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>to picture of.

206
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's also smaller screen, so it depends, you know,

207
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 4>it's not the screen's not as big as the standard phone.

208
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 3>So that's another side of it.

209
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, I'll buy that.

210
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 4>I think Apple has a lot of success with this phone.

211
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Now.

212
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>One of the reasons I pay a premium for iPhones

213
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and I don't go to Android is because I'm just

214
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 1>used to the iPhone, much like that PC. People don't

215
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>go to Mac because they don't want to relearn how

216
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to deal with a computer. Is that one of the

217
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>reasons that iPhone is one of the most valuable companies

218
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>on the planet because people are just used to iPhones.

219
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think inertia is part of it. But I

220
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 4>think that the what Apple has done really well is

221
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 4>the ecosystem. And I'm not talking all the accessories and

222
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 4>cases and things like that, but you know, you've got

223
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, five hundred Apple stores, three hundred to

224
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 4>five hundred Apple stores around the world where you can

225
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 4>go into and you know, get help. I mean, that's

226
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 4>that's invaluable. I mean I remember I was in Japan

227
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 4>and I had a problem with my hard drive on

228
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 4>my computer, and I made an appointment with an Apple

229
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, genius bar person. Not even thinking if English

230
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 4>would be spoken there, I just assumed and sure enough

231
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 4>the person they give me it's like, you know, perfect English.

232
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 4>So it's again it's like that level of service and

233
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 4>seamless service around the world. I think that keeps people

234
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 4>with Apple and also knowing that their friends can you know,

235
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 4>if you have a problem with it, you can ask

236
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 4>your friends, but you know, you can learn the other

237
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 4>operating system. It's really I go back and forth all

238
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 4>the time. I try both, so it's it's a learned

239
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 4>but that's you.

240
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's our one last question, and that is how do

241
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel about buying those protection plans on and computers? Uh?

242
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, I I typically do not buy protection plans

243
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 4>because you're paying in advance for insurance on something that

244
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 4>you don't know is going to go wrong or not.

245
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 4>And so and I will tell you I carry every

246
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 4>phone that I get, you know, sent and I don't

247
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, I usually.

248
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Put cases on them. But I think if you have

249
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 3>a good.

250
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Case on your phone, you know, the chances are these

251
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 4>things are much more durable than they ever have been.

252
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 4>So the crack screen, you can, you know, it's less

253
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 4>of a chance that that's going to happen. But I

254
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 4>think it really comes down to it's a personal choice

255
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 4>of are you willing to pay this premium for something

256
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 4>that you may or may not need and you're adding

257
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, ten twenty percent onto the price of these things.

258
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 3>And these companies love them, by the way, because it's

259
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 3>pure profit.

260
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 4>So I personally do not recommend them typically, But if

261
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 4>you have money to burn and you don't care and

262
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 4>you just want that peace of mind. I mean many

263
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 4>many people do that.

264
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because and the reason is they all have money

265
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to burn and they just don't care.

266
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's as it's a.

267
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Peace of mind, Bill, I mean, that's really I mean.

268
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I understand you're talking about a peace of mind.

269
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I get that. I get that. That's why I've.

270
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Always ridiculous less leave, paid off my mortgage on my

271
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.879
<v Speaker 1>home as quickly as I could, just to wake up

272
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, and I own my home, and it

273
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>makes no sense, no sense.

274
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm all about that. So I'm I'm I'm with you there,

275
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 4>but I agree. It's like it's nobody nobody else.

276
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's peace of mind.

277
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, Rich We'll catch you on Saturday and again

278
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 1>next week.

279
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Have a good one.

280
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Bill,
