Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of rich
Speaker 1: on Tech KTLA tech reporter Rich Jimmuro.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you. Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we got some new things that we want
Speaker 1: to share. First of all, I'm actually kind of jazzed
Speaker 1: about this one. New iPads from Apple, and I'm jazzed
Speaker 1: about it because you said there's more memory in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So a couple of new iPads.
Speaker 3: We've got two, so the iPad AIR and then of
Speaker 3: course the iPad I call it the standard one. So
Speaker 3: with the iPad AIR, the main thing is that's the
Speaker 3: expensive one. It's not the pro, but they're getting a
Speaker 3: better chip, which means it has support for Apple Intelligence. Now,
Speaker 3: this one starts at six hundred dollars for the eleven
Speaker 3: inch model. Thirteen inch model is eight hundred, okay, twelfth Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: this is for like, you know, people who want like
Speaker 3: a really high end iPad. I'll be honest, most of
Speaker 3: the people that are asking me about an iPad, they
Speaker 3: want the other one, which is the eleventh generation, and
Speaker 3: this one has a pretty standard chip inside. So it's
Speaker 3: not going to support the Apple Intelligence, but it's it's
Speaker 3: at three hundred and fifty dollars. And the cool thing
Speaker 3: about this one is that it now has double the
Speaker 3: storage at the same price. So if you bought this
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, you'd pay three fifty for
Speaker 3: sixty four gigs. Now you pay three fifty for one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty eight, and you're getting a better processor.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that the iPads that I've had had things
Speaker 1: like sixteen gigs and that kind of stuff. They just
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of memory when the phones have
Speaker 1: you know, a half a terabyte.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's the deal with the iPad. Nobody is
Speaker 3: actively like I mean, yes, people want an iPad, they
Speaker 3: go get one. But most of the time with the iPads,
Speaker 3: people aren't tracking the new models. They just go into
Speaker 3: the store when they need a new one. And by
Speaker 3: the way, these things last forever, so it's not like
Speaker 3: you're buying these things every couple of years. This might
Speaker 3: be a six year cycle on these things.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So here's something else that's new. Sony
Speaker 1: and Honda have teamed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the have you heard of this car,
Speaker 3: the Aphila ev I have nearn New Okay, well, it's
Speaker 3: their new joint venture. I mean Sony Entertainment. Right, Honda
Speaker 3: definitely knows cars, so they have teamed up for this
Speaker 3: new Afila EV and it's on display at Westfield Century City,
Speaker 3: so they've got a little pop up shop there.
Speaker 2: For the next six months. I headed over there to
Speaker 2: check it out.
Speaker 3: Now I've seen this car kind of percolating at all
Speaker 3: the different tech events for the past, you know, a
Speaker 3: couple of years.
Speaker 2: But this is not a concept.
Speaker 3: This is actually going to be hitting California roads by
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. So they're going to deliver these cars,
Speaker 3: and it's an it's expensive, it's ninety thousand dollars, but
Speaker 3: you know, it's very entertainment focused. Amy It's got this
Speaker 3: giant screen inside, three screens inside, one huge screen across
Speaker 3: the whole dashboard, two screens in the back for the passengers,
Speaker 3: and every app you can imagine, so everything from like
Speaker 3: Spotify to Audible to movie apps. I mean, your passengers
Speaker 3: can watch the same movie while you're driving, and they
Speaker 3: can play PlayStation, so your PlayStation at home works with
Speaker 3: this car.
Speaker 1: I'm always nervous about big screens in front of a
Speaker 1: driver's face.
Speaker 3: Good call, and I would one hundred percent understand that
Speaker 3: but as you and I know, if you look around LA,
Speaker 3: every single driver has their phone in front of them
Speaker 3: at every minute of the way, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: don't do that please. But this is safe. This is
Speaker 3: safe because it's got polarizing glass. So it's got this
Speaker 3: neat feature on the dashboard where when the car is
Speaker 3: in motion, all of a sudden, the screen polarizes, which
Speaker 3: means if you've ever looked at one of those privacy
Speaker 3: screens on an iPhone, from the angle, you can't see it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, that's cool, And I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: picture of it right now. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: evs are not that cool looking. This one is pretty
Speaker 1: cool looking.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, this is two really nice companies that
Speaker 3: know their stuff and they came up with a really
Speaker 3: good looking car. I think it's expensive, so it's not
Speaker 3: going to appeal to everyone, but three hundred miles on
Speaker 3: a charge, deliveries next year in California, two hundred dollars
Speaker 3: refundable deposit. I I really think this is a very
Speaker 3: nice looking car, and it's got a lot of fun
Speaker 3: features for the Techi like myself, and it's got a
Speaker 3: lot of sensors, so talk about self driving down the line.
Speaker 3: This has got forty sensors in it, so it's gonna
Speaker 3: be able to do a lot on its own.
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the steering wheel looks like a what do
Speaker 1: you call it in an airplane an airplane throttle?
Speaker 2: You don't call it a stat like a yoke or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like the half steering wheel. It's like cut in half. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Here, So I didn't get to drive it because no
Speaker 3: one's driving it just yet, but I said, please get
Speaker 3: me on that list as soon as I can drive it.
Speaker 2: I want to see what this thing's like. Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Then we'll talk to you once you get to
Speaker 1: drive it too, since you'll for sure be doing that
Speaker 1: before it's actually on the roads.
Speaker 2: Will Cole Schreiber heard you talking.
Speaker 1: With Bill Handle about Google's new privacy tool and said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, my information's out there. So tell us
Speaker 1: how we get our information not out there?
Speaker 3: Yes, So go to google new feature. If you search
Speaker 3: for your name and something like your phone number or address,
Speaker 3: you know, all those people find your sites come up.
Speaker 3: So look for the three dots next to the search result.
Speaker 3: You can tap that and now there's a new option
Speaker 3: that says remove result, and in a few clicks you say,
Speaker 3: I don't want this here, it's my personal information. Google
Speaker 3: takes a couple hours to review it. They will typically
Speaker 3: remove it. Doesn't remove it from the original website, but
Speaker 3: it does remove it from Google, where ninety nine point
Speaker 3: nine percent of people are going to find this stuff
Speaker 3: full details on my website.
