WEBVTT 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:07.279 Oh, hey. Uh, I got your order at Tech News here. Um, would you mind if I uh 00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:13.000 just uh can you just close the door? Uh, just so I can take a photo just quick. 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:13.000 Just close the door. Okay, thank you. 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.600 So, is that is that how things are delivered now for anyone else? Cuz it's 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.840 weird. U anyway, tech news. Apple is planning some revolutionary changes to 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:30.400 iPhone. According to the latest newsletter from he who seeth all apples, 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.079 Bloomberg's Mark of House Germades, at 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:37.920 Apple's September event, we're going to get the iPhone 17 Air, the super super 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:43.120 slim device Gur says is meant to replace the iPhone 16 Plus. In exchange for its 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.920 increased risk of bending, you'll get less battery life, only a single rear 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:52.160 camera, and no SIM card slot, even outside the US. You know, life comes 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:58.160 with trade-offs. Thankfully, September's event will reportedly also feature just 00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:00.800 a regular iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:04.879 Max. Although, I predict even the most normie Apple fans will still be side 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:10.560 eyeing the slim one. That's probably worse. But what if they're the first of 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.479 their friends to get it? But 2026 is 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.119 when things get interesting with the iPhone 18 Fold. in case the name had you 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.799 stumped, that one's going to compete with the various other foldable phones, 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:27.040 finally giving the Apple stands an option. And then in 2027, 20 years after 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.000 the launch of the first iPhone, we're getting a special curved glass iPhone, 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:38.079 which previous rumors have described as having potentially no ports at all, just 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.000 a smooth, unbroken surface, like how Ken 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.920 dolls look under their tiny designer shorts. Just like ASRock's revolutionary 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.520 12volt high power GPU cable update. Uh, 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.360 which is a segue that made sense before I edited this script. Plof helped me 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.799 write it because he is a saint. And so is ASRock. Not only for making the 90° 00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.280 connector dozens of you might have been asking for, but for making the pins 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:06.399 light green so you can easily tell if it's fully inserted into your GPU or 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.120 not. Imagine. And if you're still not satisfied, there's a nifty little NTC 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:16.000 sensor you plug in that shuts down your PC if it starts overheating. Something 00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.920 that I have to assume just got invented this year. Or why wasn't it in there 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.120 already? Look, at this point, I don't even care if it was NVIDIA who started 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.200 this whole mess. I'm just happy to see somebody trying to fix it. Even if 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.800 they're wasting valuable marketing dollars trying to convince you to put 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.519 stickers on the otherwise blank connector, just some pizzazz. It's okay. 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:41.360 I've seen people spend money on stupider things like Elon Musk who says he's 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:44.360 starting a new AI company called Macro 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.360 hard. 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.959 But why? Well, he says it's a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:57.120 very real. He's claiming they can simulate everything software companies 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.280 like Microsoft do using AI. Now, I've 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.120 said this before, but Elon claiming that something will happen has been proven to 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.480 be pretty good evidence that it will not. Although, here's one exception to 00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:12.879 that rule. Elon has gone through with his threat to have his other very real 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:15.200 AI company, XAI, sue Apple and OpenAI, 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.959 who have allegedly colluded to maintain monopolies in the smartphone and 00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:25.120 generative AI markets. Now, he's accusing Apple of depprioritizing Grock 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.879 in favor of OpenAI and chat GPT. And 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.440 that's the only reason Grock never reached the number one AI app spot on 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.239 Apple's app store. It's definitely nothing to do with Grock identifying as 00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:40.720 Mecca Hitler very recently. It also has nothing to do with today's sponsor, 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:46.640 MicroEnter, where the build upgrade save event is on now. CPUs, GPUs, PSUs, 00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:54.640 there's wacko deals on all of them. But particularly wacko are the deals on 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:56.720 Samsung SSDs. 1 TB, 2 terb, 4 terb. H. 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:00.000 Now, this is member pricing only, so make sure you log into your MicroEnter 00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.840 account to see them. If you don't have one yet, it's super easy to create your 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:08.000 free account and you'll be good to go. Phoenix, Arizona, I know you've been 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.239 watching this whole time. Well, guess what? You're getting a MicroEnter, too. 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:17.440 The new store is coming soon, so sign up to get VIP deals and a free 128 gig 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:21.519 flash drive when it opens. Everyone say congratulations, Phoenix. Very happy for 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:26.720 you. and check out the build, upgrade, save deals at MicroEnter before they're 00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:32.639 gone. What the heck? These are drill bits. I asked you for quick bits. God, 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.199 do I have to do everything around here? That's probably how teachers feel when 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:42.880 someone suggests arming them to help stop school shootings. But someone else 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.960 had a better idea. Drones. Why not slap 00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:49.759 guns onto those bad boys, huh? And then just fly them into the schools during an 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:53.360 active shooting. Oh man. Well, that may soon be a reality because there's only 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:56.720 one governor of one state I can think of that would try this. If you guessed 00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.919 Ronda Santis and Florida, congratulations. You win a trip to 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.600 Alligator Alcatraz. Oh man, you can tell PLO wrote these. Okay, unfortunately, 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:12.400 Florida's not getting a Netflix house. Oh man, they've started ticket pre-sales 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:17.919 and announced the opening dates for the event at Philadelphia November 12th and 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:23.120 Dallas December 11th. These are free to enter experiences uh spanning over a 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:28.240 100,000 square feet that feature their biggest and most successful shows like 00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:32.960 Squid Game and Love is Blind. So, it's kind of like Disneyland, but you don't 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.120 pay to get in. Might speak to its quality. Uh, we'll have to see. Lunch 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.160 probably is less than $100, though. Something you might pay for soon is a 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:46.320 quirky new food delivery robot. Gee, I really hope all of those laidoff compsai 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:53.280 majors aren't looking for gig work in the next couple of years because it looks like clankers are coming for that, 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:55.759 too. Plof, you're going to get us killed 00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:01.440 by the AI when it takes over. Okay. Uh, the Robo Mart RM5 has 10 lockers, 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:09.360 operates on public roads, and carries up to 500 lb of goods. Well, it's got me 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.680 beat. That's rude to me. Too bad it 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:18.639 doesn't have NVIDIA's new robot brain powering it. The Jetson AGX Thor devkit 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.639 is now on sale for 3500 bucks and ships 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.120 next month. Honestly, it sounds like a pretty good uh business strategy. You 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.280 buy the dev kit for thousands. Uh then once you've prototyped your robot, you 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:34.160 turn around and buy the Thor T5000 modules from NVIDIA for more thousands. 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:39.039 But hey, buy in bulk and save some money. If you need more than a thousand 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:43.680 Thor chips, they'll only cost you 3,000 a pop. Do you think that mom and pop 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:49.680 shops are buying like fleets of robots or something? I just And on the red team 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:52.960 side of things, hardware leaker Momo 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.199 leaked their 2026 and 2027 mobile road 00:06:52.960 --> 00:07:01.520 map. We're getting a Zen 5 refresh called Gorgon Point with Stricks Point 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:05.199 NPU and graphics in that. Desktops will 00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:08.800 get Zen 6 in 2026, but mobile has to 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.520 wait a bit longer before Gator range and 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.919 Medusa Point release for the more elite and premium laptops. Seems reasonable, 00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:21.120 but we'll have to wait for Lisa Sue to confirm. Oh, I'm getting a fake con 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.120 phone call from Lisa Sue. Hey, Lisa, can you tell me a little bit about these 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:29.680 mobile processors? Ah, come on. I signed the NDA. What do you mean the one I 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:34.639 signed 5 years ago isn't valid anymore? You've got my signature. What more could 00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:36.240 you possibly want? Tech news. Well, you 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:44.639 uh you'll have to come back on Wednesday for that. Or or the deal's off. 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:44.639 That goes for you, too.
