00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,400
warning this episode may or may not

2
00:00:03,159 --> 00:00:08,960
contain a Tim Cook impression sometimes it happens organically but we make no

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,639
promises that one will occur viewer discretion is advised that was a great

4
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:18,240
opportunity for a Tim Coke impression buy your mom an impression at their it's

5
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:23,680
glow time event this morning Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 lineup new

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,039
airpods and a new Apple watch along with old airpods and an old Apple watch that

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,960
you might have thought was new if you aren't terminally online thankfully

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,360
we are so here's the lowdown Apple kind of flattened out the iPhone lineup this

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,520
time around bringing the iPhone 16 and 16 plus two chip Generations up from the

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,559
a16 bionic to the a18 which means these

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,719
new non-pro iPhones will have apple

12
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:54,000
intelligence in beta in the US next

13
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:59,160
month a lot of that kind of Tomorrow energy going on at this event but we'll

14
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,680
get into that the non-pro iPhone 16s start at 800 bucks and now have the

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:10,119
customizable action button introduced with last year's 15 Pros as well as an

16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,560
allnew camera control clickable slider

17
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:16,360
button that's also on the iPhone 16 and

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,079
16 Pro Max it not only serves as a proper shutter button when taking photos

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,320
in landscape mode it can be lightly pressed to bring up additional uis for

20
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:28,880
fine focusing or changing modes by sliding your finger kind of like you

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,200
would do with physical knobs on a dedicated camera evoking memories of the

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,799
iPod click wheel and Apple's history of brilliantly emulating familiar Hardware

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,000
on new tech sorry that sounded sarcastic but it was genuine I struggle with

24
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,240
giving Earnest compliments he's never said anything nice to me good job Jacob

25
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:50,119
clicking and holding the camera control button will activate the new visual

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,360
intelligence feature which will let you use a photo to search the web prompt

27
00:01:52,479 --> 00:02:00,600
Siri or chat GPT and even add an event from a poster to your calendar it's like

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,680
what Google Lens pretends to be and is actually really cool I'm sorry I just I

29
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:10,119
don't I don't know how so wait all the iPhone 16s sound pretty similar right

30
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,480
now why would I pay over a th000 bucks for the 16 Pro or Pro Max other than to

31
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:19,160
get that exclusive color that seemed like it was Pooh brown but is actually

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,560
called desert titanium and doesn't actually look like poo to everyone's

33
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:28,000
surprise well you don't want the regular old 18 you want the a18 pro it's got a

34
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:34,400
bunch of upgrades that will let the 16 Pros run Apple intelligence 15% faster

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:39,400
than on the iPhone 15 Pro not that we would know at this point it hasn't come

36
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:44,200
out yet but the pros also have larger displays studio quality mics that enable

37
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:50,480
customized background noise removal for video recording and upgraded cameras

38
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:51,720
that support recording 4K 120 video hey

39
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,720
if it's good enough for the weekend to film a music video with it's good enough

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:02,239
for me next up the new airpods 4 have an H2 chip and also an upgraded version

41
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:06,159
with withc and a wireless charging case while the airpod pros have gotten

42
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,959
upgraded hearing testing abilities that help them function as clinical grade

43
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,319
hearing aids I don't know sounds like Boomer to me Apple also showed off the

44
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:21,400
new Apple watch series 10 with a bigger display and the thinnest design ever it

45
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:26,599
now can run the translate app directly on Watch and add sleep apneia to the

46
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,360
list of conditions it can detect continuing the watch's transformation

47
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:35,480
into basically the High quarter from Star Trek at their next event in October

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Apple will reportedly unveil new iPads and Macs packed with new buttons that

49
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:42,959
activate features that will definitely become available at some point in the

50
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,319
future press them to get an estimate on how long you have to wait you press the

51
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:51,400
button it's like this feature will be available sometime next year there's no

52
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Tim Cook impression but that was like almost Craig federi your friends and

53
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:02,760
family can now message each other and occasionally kiss I want

54
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:08,040
send little kisses over the Internet IFA 2024 kicked off in Berlin last Friday

55
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:15,400
and some of the tech there really put the funk in intern F that's what IFA

56
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:20,079
stands for by the way according to Jacob and the world Nano Leaf showed off its

57
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:25,160
sense plus battery powerered Smart Switch that it's been working on for 8

58
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:30,240
years although that's no guarantee of success as Concord has shown the switch

59
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:35,440
uses a proprietary protocol called LightWave to control all nanoleaf smart

60
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,919
lights in a room while two configurable buttons on the sense plus can use matter

61
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:46,479
to control other devices then there's lenovo's Auto twist aipc concept which

62
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:48,600
has a motorized 360° hinge allowing the

63
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:51,759
display to follow you around like it's asking for a restraining order I know

64
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:57,039
you said you're done using me for stuff but actually I have something to talk to me about you like close the window and

65
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:02,039
then like walk away and it's like is it is that it more helpfully the laptop can

66
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:06,520
detect when it's not being used and close itself to prevent any real snoops

67
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,960
from Gaining access oh interesting meanwhile Acer showed off a gaming

68
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:15,080
laptop concept called project dual play

69
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,639
its touchpad pops out and flips over

70
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:22,400
into a controller that further separates into two smaller controllers Nintendo

71
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:27,880
switch style wow but if you're into gaming products that actually exist

72
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:33,680
there's the Techno pocket go a handheld PC disguised as a chunky gam pad with ar

73
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,440
glasses as a display it evokes a cyberpunk dystopia where the majority of

74
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,800
the population are forced to use the younger sibling controller only the

75
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,479
super rich get a normal controller if you're more into home gadgets the

76
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:50,199
wireless power Consortium the minds behind theqii wireless charging standard

77
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,400
announced the key standard you're supposed to say it the way that other

78
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:58,000
people said the other one wrongly apparently it's called that because it's

79
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:04,440
for kitchens okay key transmitters can be baked into to countertops that's a

80
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:06,720
pun and deliver up to 2200 WTS to

81
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,759
compatible smart appliances these appliances will be cordless to make them

82
00:06:08,599 --> 00:06:15,240
dishwasher safe and to also render them useless if you ever move I thought that

83
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,880
was a genuine feature welcome to an older shittier building we don't have

84
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:23,759
countertops like that there is a benefit though if you like accidentally knock over a blender or something it'll stop

85
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,160
spinning yeah it'll never spin if you you live never spit again on the even

86
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:33,240
weirder side there's the air purifier table from switchbox the only company

87
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:38,199
brave enough to ask the question what if we just made an air purifier but then we

88
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,199
gave it a little

89
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,680
hat you should be brave enough to ask about our sponsor seic their Prime TX

90
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,479
1000 wat power supply is a great choice if you're building a high performance

91
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,199
system it features an 80 plus titanium rating which means less power gets

92
00:06:52,080 --> 00:07:00,319
wasted during power conversion or in layman's terms less loose juice write

93
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,240
that down the prime tx1000 is also fully

94
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:07,080
modular and features both hybrid fan control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings

95
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:13,560
to reduce overall fan noise on top of that it comes with a 12year warranty I

96
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,560
mean come on learn more at cic.gc.ca

97
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:36,360
architectures rdna and cdna respectively

98
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,000
into a unified udna architecture making

99
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,160
a more accessible platform for developers and hopefully more

100
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:46,599
effectively competing with NVIDIA's Cuda ecosystem but it seems AMD won't be

101
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:53,000
competing with NVIDIA's Flagship gaming gpus as wi told Tom's Hardware team red

102
00:07:49,479 --> 00:07:55,080
is reprioritizing mid-range gpus saying

103
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,159
quote I don't want AMD to be the company that only people who can afford Porsches

104
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:04,360
and Ferraris can buy and that's why they're high-end x870 motherboards

105
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:08,599
reportedly won't cost more than $800 it's a board for the people for the

106
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:14,080
people in higher tax brackets meta's rumored budget headset The Meta Quest 3s

107
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:18,680
is expected to launch on September 25th at meta's connect event but a render of

108
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:23,000
the headset was recently released online thanks to Reliable leaker meta the

109
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,199
render was originally spotted in the files of the meta Quest client for

110
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:31,960
Windows and posted to Reddit and it seems to show a design that combines

111
00:08:28,919 --> 00:08:33,839
elements of the Quest 2 and Quest 3

112
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:39,279
likewise thirdparty accessories for the 3s have already appeared on AliExpress

113
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:43,760
including apparently real photos of the headset I don't know though this could

114
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:47,920
still all be just a prank what if we're all in the metaverse already I mean we

115
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:53,600
just don't Amazon's Audible has started to invite certain us audiobook narrators

116
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,600
to train AIS on their own voices narrators who opt in will be compensated

117
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:03,399
for any Audi book that makes use of their AI voice though likely at a lower

118
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,200
rate via a royalty share model narrators

119
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:09,360
can still choose which Productions get to use their AI voice model and will be

120
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:14,000
able to use built-in tools to edit the AI narration to correct things like

121
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:17,399
pronunciation mistakes and pacing but I mean at that point why not just record

122
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,240
the audio yourself it sounds like you have time hold on let me just edit this

123
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:26,120
AI version of me to see if it's any better oh what was this delivery what is

124
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:30,519
this guy an idiot Sonos is still suffering from its software issues

125
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,399
according to a report by Mark German reporting on something other than Apple

126
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,360
right what are you doing Mark stay in your lane what are you doing buddy the

127
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:43,360
company's app troubles have caused it to delay the launch of two products one of

128
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:49,040
which is a set top box code named Pinewood Sonos is also scaling back

129
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,600
production of its Ace headphones as they haven't exactly been flying off the

130
00:09:50,839 --> 00:09:57,880
shelves do you want to buy headphones that will break in a couple months for

131
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,920
no reason worth a shot oh yeah by the

132
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:04,440
way Sonos makes headphones if you forgot or were never told gosh I wonder why

133
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:10,079
they aren't selling and researcher and I guess fashion designer Teresa Barton is

134
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:13,399
recycling old NVIDIA gt730 graphics

135
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:16,120
cards into purses that cost

136
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:21,279
$1,024 exactly which is one way to make enough money to finally afford an RTX

137
00:10:17,959 --> 00:10:25,640
480 Barton also offers higher-end purses

138
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:28,519
fashioned out of h100 AI chips for over

139
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:32,600
$65,000 these repurposed gpus aren't functional oford according to Barton

140
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,040
they're ethically sourced from data center dumpsters but the fan still works

141
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,000
which should mean your wallet and keys get excellent airf flow I could use that

142
00:10:39,079 --> 00:10:45,360
better in my pants really and we'd appreciate more air flow this Wednesday

143
00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:51,519
when the next episode of TechLink drops so come on back if you're a

144
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:53,760
fan I'm sorry oh God I'm so sorry please

145
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:59,920
that was I didn't mean to make that joke that was not

146
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,920
please please come back
