00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
Oh, hey, I got your order, I tech news here.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.360
Would you mind if I just, can you just close the door?

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.400
Just so I can take a photo, just quick, just close the door. Okay, thank you.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.920
So is that, is that how things are delivered now for anyone else? Cause it's weird.

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.880
Anyway, tech news. Apple is planning some revolutionary changes to iPhone

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:26.880
according to the latest newsletter from he who seeeth all apples,

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.160
Bloomberg's Mark of House Germeides.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.480
At Apple's September event, we're going to get the iPhone 17 Air.

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:39.800
The super, super slim device, German says is meant to replace the iPhone 16 Plus.

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:44.160
In exchange for its increased risk of bending, you'll get less battery life,

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:47.560
only a single rear camera and no SIM card slot,

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.960
even outside the US. You know, life comes with trade-offs.

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.960
Thankfully, September's event will reportedly also feature

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.920
just our regular iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max,

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.960
although I predict even the most normy Apple fans

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.440
will still be side-eyeing the slim one. That's probably worse,

00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:09.040
but what if they're the first of their friends to get it?

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.120
But 2026 is when things get interesting

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.120
with the iPhone 18 fold. In case the name had you stumped that one's going to compete

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.260
with the various other foldable phones, finally giving the Apple stands an option.

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:26.820
And then in 2027, 20 years after the launch of the first iPhone,

00:01:26.820 --> 00:01:31.780
we're getting a special curved glass iPhone, which previous rumors have described

00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:37.420
as having potentially no ports at all. Just a smooth, unbroken surface.

00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.660
Like how Kindles look under their tiny designer shorts.

00:01:40.660 --> 00:01:45.900
Just like Asrock's revolutionary 12-volt high-power GPU cable update,

00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:50.860
which is a segue that made sense before I edited this script. Ploof helped me write it because he is a saint.

00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:55.380
And so is Asrock, not only for making the 90 degree connector,

00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:59.900
dozens of you might have been asking for, but for making the pins light green

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:03.620
so you can easily tell if it's fully inserted into your GPU

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:07.180
or not, imagine. And if you're still not satisfied,

00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:10.180
there's a nifty little NTC sensor you plug in

00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:13.660
that shuts down your PC if it starts overheating.

00:02:13.660 --> 00:02:16.740
Something that I have to assume just got invented this year

00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:22.100
or why wasn't it in there already? Look at this point, I don't even care if it was NVIDIA who started this whole mess.

00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:27.580
I'm just happy to see somebody trying to fix it, even if they're wasting valuable marketing dollars

00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:31.500
trying to convince you to put stickers on the otherwise blank connector.

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:35.940
Just some pizzazz. It's okay, I've seen people spend money on stupider things

00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:39.420
like Elon Musk, who says he's starting a new AI company

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:42.100
called Macro Hard.

00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:47.780
But why? Well, he says it's a tongue-in-cheek name,

00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:52.460
but the project is very real. He's claiming they can simulate everything

00:02:52.460 --> 00:02:56.820
software companies like Microsoft do using AI.

00:02:56.820 --> 00:03:01.340
I've said this before, but Elon claiming that something will happen has been proven

00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:05.180
to be pretty good evidence that it will not. Although here's one exception to that rule,

00:03:05.180 --> 00:03:10.820
Elon has gone through with his threat to have his other very real AI company, XAI,

00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:15.900
sue Apple and OpenAI, who have allegedly colluded to maintain monopolies

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:21.980
in the smartphone and generative AI markets. Now he's accusing Apple of de-prioritizing Grock

00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:27.340
in favor of OpenAI and chat GPT, and that's the only reason Grock never reached

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:30.540
the number one AI app spot on Apple's App Store.

00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:35.460
It's definitely nothing to do with Grock identifying as Mecha Hitler very recently.

00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:38.740
It also has nothing to do with today's sponsor.

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:43.820
What the heck? These are drill bits. I asked you for quick bits.

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:48.300
God, do I have to do everything around here? That's probably how teachers feel

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:52.340
when someone suggests arming them to help stop school shootings,

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.940
but someone else had a better idea. Drones.

00:03:55.940 --> 00:04:00.380
Why not slap guns onto those bad boys, huh? And then just fly them into the schools

00:04:00.380 --> 00:04:04.700
during an active shooting. Oh man. Well, that may soon be a reality

00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:08.260
because there's only one governor of one state I can think of that would try this.

00:04:08.260 --> 00:04:11.940
If you guessed Ron DeSantis and Florida, congratulations.

00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:15.460
You win a trip to Alligator Alcatraz. Oh man.

00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:21.420
You can tell Ploof wrote these. Okay. Unfortunately, Florida's not getting a Netflix house.

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:25.740
Oh man. They've started ticket pre-sales and announced the opening dates

00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:28.740
for the events at Philadelphia on November 12th

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:33.580
and Dallas, December 11th. These are free to enter experiences,

00:04:33.580 --> 00:04:38.980
spanning over 100,000 square feet that feature their biggest and most successful shows

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.380
like Squid Game and Love is Blind. So it's kind of like Disneyland,

00:04:43.380 --> 00:04:47.820
but you don't pay to get in. Might speak to its quality.

00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:50.980
We'll have to see. Lunch probably is less than $100 though.

00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:55.580
Something you might pay for soon is a quirky new food delivery robot.

00:04:55.580 --> 00:04:58.980
Gee, I really hope all of those laid off compside majors

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:04.820
aren't looking for gig work in the next couple of years because it looks like Clankers are coming for that too.

00:05:04.820 --> 00:05:09.100
Ploof, you're gonna get us killed by the AI when it takes over.

00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:12.740
Okay, the Robomart RM5 has 10 lockers,

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:17.780
operates on public roads and carries up to 500 pounds of goods.

00:05:17.780 --> 00:05:22.620
Well, it's got me beat. That's rude to me.

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:26.480
Too bad it doesn't have NVIDIA's new robot brainpowering it.

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.540
The Jetson AGX Thor Dev Kit

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:33.500
is now on sale for $3,500 and ships next month.

00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:36.540
Honestly, it sounds like a pretty good business strategy.

00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:40.660
You buy the Dev Kit for thousands, and then once you've prototyped your robot,

00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.660
you turn around and buy the Thor T5000 modules

00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:48.500
from NVIDIA for more thousands. But hey, buy in bulk and save some money.

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:53.780
If you need more than a thousand Thor chips, they'll only cost you 3,000 a pop.

00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:58.540
Do we think that mom and pop shops are buying like fleets of robots or something?

00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:05.180
And on the red team side of things, hardware leaker Momomo leaked their 2026

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:10.900
and 2027 mobile roadmap. We're getting a Zen 5 refresh called Gorgon Point

00:06:10.900 --> 00:06:14.460
with Strix Point, NPU and graphics in that.

00:06:14.460 --> 00:06:17.780
Desktops will get Zen 6 in 2026,

00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:22.500
but mobile has to wait a bit longer before Gator Range

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:25.500
and Medusa Point release for the more elite

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:30.800
and premium laptops seems reasonable, but we'll have to wait for Lisa Sue to confirm.

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.900
Oh, I'm getting a fake phone call from Lisa Sue. Hey, Lisa, can you tell me a little bit

00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:40.460
about these mobile processors? Ah, come on, I signed the NDA.

00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:43.540
What do you mean the one I signed five years ago isn't valid anymore?

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:47.660
You've got my signature, what more could you possibly want? Tech news?

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:51.180
Well, you'll have to come back on Wednesday for that.

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.300
Or the deal's off.

00:06:55.020 --> 00:06:56.060
It goes for you too.
