[236.92 --> 243.68] which is great. We had live Apple nerds, hashtag channel and Slack. So if you're listening to this, |
[244.46 --> 250.10] either now live or in the future, we have a channel dedicated to Apple nerds. And it's, |
[250.10 --> 255.94] I don't know, Jared, I think you started this channel a while back and I was like, okay, |
[256.16 --> 261.26] I mean, I'm an Apple nerd too, but I never thought we'd actually have like deeper commentary in there |
[261.26 --> 267.52] because we've never traditionally been, you know, Apple fan boys or Apple fan people, so to speak. |
[267.52 --> 273.10] I mean, definitely users, but never like, we got to create content around Apple. As a matter of fact, |
[273.10 --> 279.62] this is the first time we're ever doing anything event-ish live alongside of Apple's events. |
[279.62 --> 284.80] This is the first for us. And we're doing a spotlight, which is great, but yeah, |
[284.80 --> 289.46] my mornings are typically a little later. You know what? In the, in the words of Gary Vaynerchuk, |
[289.60 --> 296.64] embrace who you are. If you're going to sleep in a little bit, kill it the rest of the hours of the |
[296.64 --> 301.92] day. And that's what I do. I work my face off when I'm up. Well, you're awake now. And I think, |
[301.92 --> 307.62] I would definitely woke up as soon as the announcement started because there was a whole bunch of stuff that |
[307.62 --> 313.78] was announced. Everything that, that was announced was exciting. The only kind of downer portion of |
[313.78 --> 319.48] the event for me, like where I lose interest and go start merging pull requests is during the Apple |
[319.48 --> 324.60] retail section, but that's just not my bag. But I want to say we haven't covered Apple in the past. |
[325.80 --> 332.10] Oh, you see what I did there with the, the, the bag? It's not my shopping cart. We haven't really |
[332.10 --> 336.66] covered too much of this stuff in the past. We definitely are internally users of Apple products |
[336.66 --> 342.82] for different things. Of course, we also use other manufacturers products that being said, |
[343.32 --> 347.50] and we know there's a lot of commentary around these events and around Apple in general, |
[347.50 --> 353.72] and we don't want to be a me too, or an also ran in that category. I think we want to bring a little |
[353.72 --> 359.82] bit different perspective because we are developers. We are podcasters, and we're really going to |
[359.82 --> 366.86] look at Apple's announcements through that lens, specifically developer focused commentary. |
[367.48 --> 371.90] Cause that's what we are and that's what we do. And because of that, I think this event |
[371.90 --> 379.06] got us three super excited more so than WWDC, even though I'm typically more of a software person |
[379.06 --> 384.60] than a hardware person. So I tend to get geeked about WWDC, but man, everything here, I'm just like, |
[384.60 --> 392.44] shut up and take my money. We need the hardware and we need, we need Apple to remain a company focused |
[392.44 --> 398.58] on hardware that delivers for creatives. And since we, since you just mentioned developer, |
[399.14 --> 406.16] it may jump the gun a little bit, but the shout out to one password, such a dedicated team to great |
[406.16 --> 414.42] software out of Canada, amazing team. They've, they've continued to be a number one must install |
[414.42 --> 421.16] application for literally all devices for me. So they got a shout out for that around the touch ID |
[421.16 --> 426.16] section, which is later for the MacBook Air. And I'm definitely jumping the gun, but that was pretty |
[426.16 --> 432.44] cool. Let's just say if one password were publicly traded, I'd buy their stock right now for sure. |
[435.68 --> 439.96] Got to let one password shout out to y'all for making awesome software. Let's talk about |
[439.96 --> 444.52] the event and what was announced. First of all, we'll just say up front MacBooks. If you haven't |
[444.52 --> 452.58] heard brand new MacBook, much, much anticipated, still selling a non-retina MacBook Air. Sorry, |
[452.64 --> 458.82] I said MacBook, but MacBook Air Mac mini, which was kind of the most amazing part. And then an iPad |
[458.82 --> 463.72] pro that is just like, holy cow, can I use that to write software? Because I need an excuse to buy |
[463.72 --> 470.48] that thing. But let's, let's start where Apple started with, with the Mac and with the MacBook |
[470.48 --> 477.30] Air. Who's got the stats open can, can give us the rundown of what all this device starting at |
[477.30 --> 485.12] $1,199 now. Tim, tell us, tell us about it. Oh, oh, shoot. I've, I'm caught off guard here, but, |
[485.12 --> 497.46] but yeah. So the MacBook Air comes in, in a whole new, uh, 100% recycled, uh, aluminum enclosure, |
[497.46 --> 504.48] which was to me, one of the biggest announcements, uh, that had to do with the MacBook Air and, and |
[504.48 --> 509.98] really all the, the, um, Mac announcements that they made. I don't think they, they said the same |
[509.98 --> 516.08] thing for the iPad, right? I think it was assumed. If they did, I missed it. They definitely called |
[516.08 --> 521.52] it out for the Mac mini and the MacBook Air. Yeah. Okay. I think that might be just a trend |
[521.52 --> 526.88] that they sort of just pointed back to, and the same recycled stuff, but I don't think they said |
[526.88 --> 532.88] explicitly now. What's cool about that though, is that it's, it's now, I would say a more sturdy body, |
[532.88 --> 538.00] um, than maybe previous generations. I don't know. It's an all new alloy. I mean, |
[538.00 --> 546.36] leave it to Apple to go to such great lengths to say that it's not only from fully recycled aluminum, |
[546.36 --> 554.38] but also a brand new alloy. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. And, and now the MacBook Air only comes in one, |
[554.38 --> 564.98] in, in one really option, the 13.3 inch led backlit display. Uh, I, you know, one of the, |
[564.98 --> 572.14] one of the notes here that, that was talked about was the, um, the bezel. Adam didn't seem to really |
[572.14 --> 577.92] think that the bezel shrunk enough. I, I disagree with that. I feel like this bezel, |
[578.08 --> 586.52] this new bezel is, is really thin. Um, I mean, uh, it, it looks very similar to all their, uh, you know, |
[586.52 --> 592.74] other MacBook bezels, which, uh, I mean, I don't know how they could shrink that bezel more. |
[592.74 --> 598.86] Okay. Fine. Fine. Listen, I disagree with my original agreement. Okay. Cause, cause that was |
[598.86 --> 603.36] based on, you disagree with yourself. I disagree with my original notes. I'm taking it. I'm taking |
[603.36 --> 607.82] it back. It was, it was premature. It was meant to be a future note, not a, not a declaration. |
[608.50 --> 613.94] However, I was bummed. It didn't seem like it shrunk much. That's why I put in quotes much. |
[614.46 --> 618.44] You quickly disagree, which I don't disagree with your disagreement, but, uh, in comparison, |
[618.44 --> 624.66] I did say that it also did shrink plenty, which is great because we always want less bezel around |
[624.66 --> 631.78] the screen. And you can see when they went from old to new, you know, the, the bezel shrunk |
[631.78 --> 638.24] significantly. Plus the original or the previous generation was, uh, was a silver color, you know, |
[638.24 --> 643.34] around it. So you always had to compete with where the screen was. And I like now how the, |
[643.42 --> 648.28] it's become a standard of having the black bezel around the screen. That's the best way to go. |
[648.28 --> 656.80] Regardless of what color you choose of a device, whether it's a 10 S max or a 10 S or whatever, |
[657.54 --> 661.56] the, the black bezel, my opinion, they've given other colors, they've had white, they've had rose |
[661.56 --> 666.90] gold, they've had others for different devices. And I think when you put that black bezel around a |
[666.90 --> 674.88] screen, it's the best way to do it. Yeah, I agree. Now they also brought in touch ID to the MacBook |
[674.88 --> 681.88] air, which is, which is awesome. I, I want touch ID everywhere, to be honest with you. Um, I wish |
[681.88 --> 687.10] that there was a way for them to put touch ID in like, you know, their, their Bluetooth connected |
[687.10 --> 691.94] keyboards, but I understand that that's, you know, from an engineering standpoint, that's probably, |
[691.94 --> 697.30] yeah. Okay. So here's one thing I want to say on this part here that I know this is new. Do either |
[697.30 --> 704.84] of you own an Apple watch yet? Yes. Yeah. Okay. The unlock feature from the Apple watch to any Mac |
[704.84 --> 710.50] is amazing. It's pretty great. Right. Yeah. I kind of prefer that over the touch. I'd like to connect |
[710.50 --> 717.82] and be me to the watch and let the watch act as me. So sans touch ID. However, I do agree that |
[717.82 --> 725.58] it is pretty cool to have touch ID. So here's the, here's the big point I think with regards to |
[725.58 --> 732.32] this particular feature is that on the MacBook air, the brand new MacBook air, which is not a pro |
[732.32 --> 742.56] device, it has touch ID in the keyboard and it also has a hardware escape button. So there's no touch |
[742.56 --> 747.74] bar. They've just put the touch ID in there, which is kind of what we all really wanted in the |
[747.74 --> 753.40] first place for the pros and a hardware escape button. So I think a lot of developers, especially |
[753.40 --> 758.80] us Vim users, although I have adjusted to the touch bars escape, I just basically tap it like |
[758.80 --> 762.46] three times now instead of once. This is not the same though. Just to make sure that I, yeah, |
[762.46 --> 768.96] you can't really, you just can't get the satisfaction of like just drilling escape in anger like you can |
[768.96 --> 773.70] with the hardware button. Yeah. I think this makes it very attractive for developers, |
[773.70 --> 780.88] especially Vim users because they don't lose their beloved escape key and get the advantage of touch |
[780.88 --> 786.68] ID. Although I admit with the Apple watch, I use a touch ID less than previously. That being said, |
[786.72 --> 793.80] it is nice for Apple pay and for points where the, the watch doesn't work. Like they'll, |
[793.90 --> 798.54] they'll request a fallback authentication. Almost zero. Yeah. It's almost reduced it to zero for the |
[798.54 --> 803.70] touch ID. If you've authenticated, you know, originally you have to start with your password |
[803.70 --> 811.70] and then you can use touch ID from that point on similar to when you restart a phone with similar, |
[811.82 --> 816.80] like, and now it's face ID where before it was touch ID. The cool thing on the developer front too, |
[816.80 --> 824.96] is the accessibility 1200 bucks, 1199. This is starting price. I mean, most developers or even brand new |
[824.96 --> 830.98] people who want to come into the software world, but that's an approachable price, right? I mean, |
[832.16 --> 839.72] several thousand dollars for a MacBook pro is not, whereas this is like, it's pretty much all you |
[839.72 --> 846.94] need and you get the tactile escape key as you said you need not totally agree. I've, I've embraced |
[846.94 --> 853.40] the touch bar. I don't love it, but I think it's kind of cool. It has future opportunities. |
[853.40 --> 857.60] I started to find like, it's taken me about a year, but I've started to find specific use cases. |
[857.60 --> 863.48] Like I like the emoji picker. There's certain things where I like to, I like if you're watching |
[863.48 --> 867.96] YouTube and you go into full screen mode or something, you still have access to the scrubber |
