00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.400
warning this episode may or may not

00:00:03.159 --> 00:00:08.960
contain a Tim Cook impression sometimes it happens organically but we make no

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.639
promises that one will occur viewer discretion is advised that was a great

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:18.240
opportunity for a Tim Coke impression buy your mom an impression at their it's

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:23.680
glow time event this morning Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 lineup new

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:28.039
airpods and a new Apple watch along with old airpods and an old Apple watch that

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:32.960
you might have thought was new if you aren't terminally online thankfully

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.360
we are so here's the lowdown Apple kind of flattened out the iPhone lineup this

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:44.520
time around bringing the iPhone 16 and 16 plus two chip Generations up from the

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:47.559
a16 bionic to the a18 which means these

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.719
new non-pro iPhones will have apple

00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:54.000
intelligence in beta in the US next

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

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.680
get into that the non-pro iPhone 16s start at 800 bucks and now have the

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:10.119
customizable action button introduced with last year's 15 Pros as well as an

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:13.560
allnew camera control clickable slider

00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:16.360
button that's also on the iPhone 16 and

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:20.079
16 Pro Max it not only serves as a proper shutter button when taking photos

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:25.320
in landscape mode it can be lightly pressed to bring up additional uis for

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:28.880
fine focusing or changing modes by sliding your finger kind of like you

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.200
would do with physical knobs on a dedicated camera evoking memories of the

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.799
iPod click wheel and Apple's history of brilliantly emulating familiar Hardware

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:42.000
on new tech sorry that sounded sarcastic but it was genuine I struggle with

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.240
giving Earnest compliments he's never said anything nice to me good job Jacob

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:50.119
clicking and holding the camera control button will activate the new visual

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.360
intelligence feature which will let you use a photo to search the web prompt

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

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

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

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

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:19.160
get that exclusive color that seemed like it was Pooh brown but is actually

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.560
called desert titanium and doesn't actually look like poo to everyone's

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

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:34.400
bunch of upgrades that will let the 16 Pros run Apple intelligence 15% faster

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

00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:44.200
out yet but the pros also have larger displays studio quality mics that enable

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:50.480
customized background noise removal for video recording and upgraded cameras

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.720
that support recording 4K 120 video hey

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

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

00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:06.159
with withc and a wireless charging case while the airpod pros have gotten

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:10.959
upgraded hearing testing abilities that help them function as clinical grade

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:16.319
hearing aids I don't know sounds like Boomer to me Apple also showed off the

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:21.400
new Apple watch series 10 with a bigger display and the thinnest design ever it

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:26.599
now can run the translate app directly on Watch and add sleep apneia to the

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.360
list of conditions it can detect continuing the watch's transformation

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:35.480
into basically the High quarter from Star Trek at their next event in October

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:39.720
Apple will reportedly unveil new iPads and Macs packed with new buttons that

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.959
activate features that will definitely become available at some point in the

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

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:51.400
button it's like this feature will be available sometime next year there's no

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.360
Tim Cook impression but that was like almost Craig federi your friends and

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:02.760
family can now message each other and occasionally kiss I want

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:08.040
send little kisses over the Internet IFA 2024 kicked off in Berlin last Friday

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

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:20.079
stands for by the way according to Jacob and the world Nano Leaf showed off its

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:25.160
sense plus battery powerered Smart Switch that it's been working on for 8

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:30.240
years although that's no guarantee of success as Concord has shown the switch

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:35.440
uses a proprietary protocol called LightWave to control all nanoleaf smart

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:39.919
lights in a room while two configurable buttons on the sense plus can use matter

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:46.479
to control other devices then there's lenovo's Auto twist aipc concept which

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:48.600
has a motorized 360° hinge allowing the

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:51.759
display to follow you around like it's asking for a restraining order I know

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

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

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:06.520
detect when it's not being used and close itself to prevent any real snoops

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:11.960
from Gaining access oh interesting meanwhile Acer showed off a gaming

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:15.080
laptop concept called project dual play

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:17.639
its touchpad pops out and flips over

00:05:15.080 --> 00:05:22.400
into a controller that further separates into two smaller controllers Nintendo

00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:27.880
switch style wow but if you're into gaming products that actually exist

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

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:37.440
glasses as a display it evokes a cyberpunk dystopia where the majority of

00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:41.800
the population are forced to use the younger sibling controller only the

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:45.479
super rich get a normal controller if you're more into home gadgets the

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:50.199
wireless power Consortium the minds behind theqii wireless charging standard

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:53.400
announced the key standard you're supposed to say it the way that other

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:58.000
people said the other one wrongly apparently it's called that because it's

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:04.440
for kitchens okay key transmitters can be baked into to countertops that's a

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:06.720
pun and deliver up to 2200 WTS to

00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:10.759
compatible smart appliances these appliances will be cordless to make them

00:06:08.599 --> 00:06:15.240
dishwasher safe and to also render them useless if you ever move I thought that

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.880
was a genuine feature welcome to an older shittier building we don't have

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

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:28.160
spinning yeah it'll never spin if you you live never spit again on the even

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:33.240
weirder side there's the air purifier table from switchbox the only company

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

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.199
gave it a little

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:46.680
hat you should be brave enough to ask about our sponsor seic their Prime TX

00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:50.479
1000 wat power supply is a great choice if you're building a high performance

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:54.199
system it features an 80 plus titanium rating which means less power gets

00:06:52.080 --> 00:07:00.319
wasted during power conversion or in layman's terms less loose juice write

00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:02.240
that down the prime tx1000 is also fully

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:07.080
modular and features both hybrid fan control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:13.560
to reduce overall fan noise on top of that it comes with a 12year warranty I

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.560
mean come on learn more at cic.gc.ca

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:36.360
architectures rdna and cdna respectively

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:38.000
into a unified udna architecture making

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:42.160
a more accessible platform for developers and hopefully more

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:46.599
effectively competing with NVIDIA's Cuda ecosystem but it seems AMD won't be

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:53.000
competing with NVIDIA's Flagship gaming gpus as wi told Tom's Hardware team red

00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:55.080
is reprioritizing mid-range gpus saying

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

00:07:56.960 --> 00:08:04.360
and Ferraris can buy and that's why they're high-end x870 motherboards

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:08.599
reportedly won't cost more than $800 it's a board for the people for the

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:14.080
people in higher tax brackets meta's rumored budget headset The Meta Quest 3s

00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:18.680
is expected to launch on September 25th at meta's connect event but a render of

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:23.000
the headset was recently released online thanks to Reliable leaker meta the

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:27.199
render was originally spotted in the files of the meta Quest client for

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:31.960
Windows and posted to Reddit and it seems to show a design that combines

00:08:28.919 --> 00:08:33.839
elements of the Quest 2 and Quest 3

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:39.279
likewise thirdparty accessories for the 3s have already appeared on AliExpress

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:43.760
including apparently real photos of the headset I don't know though this could

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

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:53.600
just don't Amazon's Audible has started to invite certain us audiobook narrators

00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:57.600
to train AIS on their own voices narrators who opt in will be compensated

00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:03.399
for any Audi book that makes use of their AI voice though likely at a lower

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.200
rate via a royalty share model narrators

00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.360
can still choose which Productions get to use their AI voice model and will be

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:14.000
able to use built-in tools to edit the AI narration to correct things like

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:17.399
pronunciation mistakes and pacing but I mean at that point why not just record

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:21.240
the audio yourself it sounds like you have time hold on let me just edit this

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

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:30.519
this guy an idiot Sonos is still suffering from its software issues

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:34.399
according to a report by Mark German reporting on something other than Apple

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:38.360
right what are you doing Mark stay in your lane what are you doing buddy the

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:43.360
company's app troubles have caused it to delay the launch of two products one of

00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:49.040
which is a set top box code named Pinewood Sonos is also scaling back

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:52.600
production of its Ace headphones as they haven't exactly been flying off the

00:09:50.839 --> 00:09:57.880
shelves do you want to buy headphones that will break in a couple months for

00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:59.920
no reason worth a shot oh yeah by the

00:09:57.880 --> 00:10:04.440
way Sonos makes headphones if you forgot or were never told gosh I wonder why

00:10:01.880 --> 00:10:10.079
they aren't selling and researcher and I guess fashion designer Teresa Barton is

00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:13.399
recycling old NVIDIA gt730 graphics

00:10:10.079 --> 00:10:16.120
cards into purses that cost

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:21.279
$1,024 exactly which is one way to make enough money to finally afford an RTX

00:10:17.959 --> 00:10:25.640
480 Barton also offers higher-end purses

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:28.519
fashioned out of h100 AI chips for over

00:10:25.640 --> 00:10:32.600
$65,000 these repurposed gpus aren't functional oford according to Barton

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:37.040
they're ethically sourced from data center dumpsters but the fan still works

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.000
which should mean your wallet and keys get excellent airf flow I could use that

00:10:39.079 --> 00:10:45.360
better in my pants really and we'd appreciate more air flow this Wednesday

00:10:43.079 --> 00:10:51.519
when the next episode of TechLink drops so come on back if you're a

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.760
fan I'm sorry oh God I'm so sorry please

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:59.920
that was I didn't mean to make that joke that was not

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.920
please please come back
