Thanks to indeed for the sponsoring the apple bits excel in dinos. Hiring needs to be cost effective when you're running in your own business. Start hiring now with a seventy five dollars sponsor job credit to get your jobs. More visibility at indeed dot come sash, apple bits, terms of distance apply. All right.

So last week there was not a podcast because I was actually traveling to india, to a media tech summit and experience IT was a wild trip, are going to talk all about IT and the things that I learned and just actually experiencing not only india, but how tech is transformed. Things there will talk a little bit about that. And then we've got some big news.

Is apple finally taking the smart home seriously? IT sounds like they are, and IT looks like twenty, twenty five will be a big year for that. We will talk all about that and the latest apple uses well. So you know what time IT is?

Let's get to the show.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to the show. Is the apple bits excel Brandon here, your host to the most for everything good to bad in everybody is one hundred.

You may not realize this. Yes, I am using my laptop because I am still in india. I've been here for a week.

I told you I came out here with media attack who has sponsored a trip for a lot of content tech creators um and to really show us what it's like here in the tech space out here in their chips for everything IT was obviously a trip once in a lifetime opportunity and part of this also include me going to the toys on a hall which was a crazy experience in itself and you know will talk a little bit about that later but I just wanted to let you know right, we're going to talk about apple stuff but I thought this would be a cool opportunity to talk about some of the things i've learned about india and just the text scene overall here so you know entertain me here. But I think that this is going me pretty interesting. This is the first time that i've ever visited.

So I can have some factor ids to set the stage of what india is right now. And where is that? In case you didn't know, india is the fifth largest global economy.

IT is a four trillion dollar GDP and a population of one point four billion people. Now, with that many people, is also the second largest 5g market in the world。 And india is actually innovating net pretty much hyper speed.

There are one hundred and thirty thousand startups here. One hundred and ten of those are what are called unicorns, which are privately held startups with a value at over one billion dollars. That's pretty wild hear as well. India is also actively working to become a semiconductor powerhouse. You think about their population, you think about the focus on here.

And they have this thing called the india semiconductor mission that has actually been set up by the government here to create a semon ductor ecosystem to become a big player, not only in designing chips, but also fabricating them and being a part of this global summit conductor industry. Now there are nine hundred and fifty four million internet subscribers in india. How many do you think there are? Well, the U.

S. Population itself is three hundred and forty two million people. Geographically, the U.

S. Is three times larger than india. The number of internet subscribers in india is basically three times that amount. And then if you talk about india's international rank on broadband speeds, they jumped from one hundred and eighteen th all the way to fifty, the place in the march of twenty twenty four.

And a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that, right, there's reasons in india that weren't as developed. And what you've noticed, seen in some other countries is that they've been able to come to take a huge technological lead because all the old infrastructure, like over the us, you have a lot of wires and cables. They can deliver internet in more places wirelessly and set up those systems and really modernize very quickly where the us.

Is a lot slower because of the previous historical infrastructure there. Now if you don't know about media tech like OK, brian, why are you talking about attack? This is the thing media tech is in at least, I would argue, at least a third, maybe half the detect devices that you have.

Now I talked about IT early and intro. Everything from flagship tvs were time about SONY we're talking about know there are the processor that drives the best video image processor. SONY has a thing where they don't talk about.

And so there is media attack side, but we know that there is a media attack inside. You ve got something like the palatine bikes media. Att is chip inside that with amazon.

They do a lot of amazon devices. Arguably almost all of amazon s up with all different kindles, the echo devices and then other TV manufacturer like TCL and so on. And you know smart home devices, things with screens that aren't running basically apple silicon or cocos.

Now dragon is, in essence, it's pretty much a media tech. So they are a huge global economy. Now in china, it's, i'm sorry, in india itself, media tech has fifty four percent of the smart phone chip set market in india.

And how we've done this is they haven't necessary targeted to be like the ultimate flagship phone here, and they target different Price points and ranges. And what I noticed here is india is very particular. The population is very tech savi.

But there also a tex savy within their budget right here in the us. You see all these people, I upgrade my phone in a year or two. That doesn't happen in india.

Yes, I know most people still in the us. Upgrade every three to four years. But in india, they're making a choice of maybe like something like around a four hundred dollar phone, even cheaper, that is going to ask them for four, five years.

And they're making every decision based on their budget and what these phones have to offer. And media attack has been able to exploit. We also know that apple has done manufacturing here in india, cl and cell phone here, but media tech has fifty four percent of the smart phone chip market in this country.

IT also has a really high brand recognition in india. We did this mixer. IT was pretty much thinking IT.

It's called media tech connect. Think of is like fans that are excited about technology. And I know there are only ninety people.

There is one of the loudest venues like they were cheering to meet tech creators. And we of that, we're there at the event, and they also were just enthusiastic about tech IT. Would IT remind me of if you ever seen basketball games, and you see how the U.

S. Cheers and baseball games is, how europe. Cheers and basketball games, it's that start of a difference of enthusiasm and passion.

But for tech and IT, which is so refreshing to see. And many of the two billion devices, media, tech powers every year can actually be found in india. So they were the ones who sponsored this trip for myself and plenty other test ratings. I also got to see um the tom hall, which is incredible. But just some of the things that I learned about india.

The first thing that blew my mind is just I don't know if you've ever been here, but for those that you have the traffic and the navigational traffic is crazy, there might be four lanes designated with lines for traffic, but they're actually fitting in six to seven cars across that the lines don't matter. Um in fact, when they communicate to each other like, oh, i'm here on this side, you're in hogs, you don't see blinkers use nearly as much as you expected. They almost are almost not existent.

In some cases, they they're still on cars, but they don't use them. But if we adopted indian driving to step in america, we would have a crash every five minutes. I mean, it's really well they do at move at little at slower speeds.

So I think that helps generally. But IT is traffic like no other. It's a population like no other. Um what I found is clearly there's right have and have not to india, but what I have found is the people here in general are very kind um and very nice and very welcoming in general.

The people that we came across, whether were strangers at the time, ma hall um people that were at the hotel, the other people at the shops that we came across, you were able to have conversations with them and they were just very kind p and warn people. So that stuck out to me. And then obviously to touch my hall, the seventh one of the world i've seen IT in books i've seen on the internet.

And IT is one of the most incredible things i've ever seen. Like I told you was like a twenty four hour trip to get here, right? He was like A, I had a five hour flight than a four hour later than a four hour flight to get to india.

And you think about the driving to the airport, to the hotel. IT was a twenty four our plus day. And then to get the touch, my hall from where I met IT was a four hour trip, then anyway, hung out the tom hall and is a four hour trip back.

So this was a beast, like I said, like at once, in a lifetime opportunity. That was just so incredible for me. And I just learned a lot about the people. The emerging teaming india is really easily position themselves.

If we talk about china as a tech superpower, I I would argue a lot of things that india is doing today, I mean, they could position themselves s to easily be number two or number one is like the tech take superpower in the world just because of their population, also the focus of their people to be become a true tech super parliament. They are there, but really to to see what's happening here. Um the innovation tech everywhere, everyone knows that they have this payment system called U P.

I. That is everywhere and it's none not specific to a platform anyone can use. Ah it's it's pretty amazing.

So I really had a great time just seen techy and the iphone is definitely not the prominent phone here. IT is one of the phones that people can. I I do feel like IT IT is a little more aspirations tional here because of its Price.

But right when I got out of the airport, when we are driving to the hotel, the first night, i've been here about six days. Now i'm leaving tomorrow. Tech is very friendly because the first signs I saw there was a OPPO a phone billboard, there was a samsung phone bills, and there was an iphone film phone billboard.

So IT is here, is everywhere. And it's just been an incredible time. I've been a lot of indian food and it's it's just been a joy to experience something completely different and really get a sense of the people and how that translates into what their goals aren't even like seeing.

Now I understand some of those cultural things because of what i've seen like the actual country. It's it's fascinating. So overall, just an amazing time in this, some of those nuggets that I wanted to share from the trips.

So that's all going to do talk about india and my media tech trip. But IT was absolutely incredible. So of course, what i'm gone, i'm not gonna able to cover, you know, all the latest and Grace of what happens in apple. So this is an opportunity. Catch up with some of the big news that happened this week and get you all up to speed.

And I think the biggest headline, of course, comes our friend mark german from bloomberg and the headline and he's eluted to this, think back in october, is that apple's next device, next new device, to be clear here, is going to be an A I wall tablet for home control. Siri and video calls. Now, I talked about IT early and I said, hey, is this apple going to finally take the smart home serious? I've complained about IT.

I've criticize them about IT for years, and I think this has been the right time. IT does feel like things have play toed. When you talk about what amazon is doing, when you talk about what google is doing, there has been much of any kind of shift.

And this might, again, might be an opportunity to soup in and create some market here, maybe do some unique things that live amongst actual apple ecosystem because right now, I am all amazon and google when IT comes to my smart home. Most like it's it's basically built off of that. Now it's a new specific product that is going to a spot light, the new syrian apple intelligence.

So it's gona lean on those two, and the device will be able to tap into cameras, doorbells and run apples up again. This is expected to be an ai wall tablet, a wall mounted display that control your planes, handle video converting, and use A I to navigate the APP. So this device, which does not have an actual name, IT, is code named internally at apple.

J 4 ninety, could be announced as early as march of twenty twenty five. An apple is expected, based on the reports, remarked government, to position IT as a command center for the home, connecting to all your devices, being able to see them work with them from this A I type wall tablet spotlighting apple intelligence. But again, people that gave up this information as not to be identified, but we we actually know and have a lot of details or right.

So right now, clear leave in the smart home. Apple trAiling. Okay, i'll call him alpa bit. But we know to google home and then amazon in the home. This device expect to be roughly a six six diagnose reen look more like a square ipad. It's about the size roughly based on this report of two iphones, side by side is going to a, have a thick edge round display, no description, but i'm guessing maybe more likely like a White type of vessel to blending in with White walls. Also give me a camera at the top front of the screen and a rechargeable built in battery and internal speakers, with apple planning to offered, oh, i'm sorry, in silver and black option, so scraps the whole White idea, silver and black options.

According to the report, the product also has a touch interface that looks like a blend of the apple watch Operating system and the iphones recently lot standby mode that's when you turn the iphone on the side and when it's charging IT kind of goes into that dull screen mode that gives you access the things like the weather and the time and your calendar and kind of like premire widget. But that will be, think of that as a commenter of that, and watch and the apple watch O, S, that merges to be more of this smart home. Now, apple itself, the report expects most people to use their voice to interact with device and rely on the three digital systems and assistant and apple intelligence.

This harder or was actually designed APP intense. And that's that system that apple previewed a wwdc that lets the A I precisely control applications and your test, which is set to debut in the coming months, this product will be marketed is basically a way to control your home appliances, chat with theory, have inner concessions with apple's face time software. And so when you think about this isn't not just going to be a world display that in one location, IT really does.

Sounds like this supposed to be something that's going to be in multiple rooms around the house to be able to low them to communicate with each other like an inner come system. But obviously, a inner calm system of the modern times of the screen in a video camera is also expected to be loaded with apple apps, including web browsing, have the ability to get news updates, play music again with apples, polish and their ecosystem, and leverage all that, access your notes in your counter information, and also can turn into a sideshow slideshow displaying your photos. Uh, this would be a first for apple, right? Apple has not created anything that could compete with amazon's echo or the echo show or the echo hub.

Smart splaying. We also know that goods next top, that's what I, which that super clever of just popping off IT as tablets and be able to use IT as a tablet. And I said, when I first saw that, that is something that apple should have done and apple completely missed on.

And also, if you remember, meta had that a portal product, product product that was like a video conference device that totally fought because no one is no one's gone to trust IT facebook doing what IT comes to privacy. But they're also planning, remember, we'd heard about some sort of a smart home robotic armed device. Apples actually planning a more expensive follow up to this device that has the robotic limb that can move around the move the screen around if it's attached to the end of a table or on a table.

So that is plan to be marketed as a home campaign in piece of technology that has an AI personally. Now that high end product based on german report says could be Priced at a lot higher, something like one thousand dollars to paint on the components that IT uses based on the sources. The disappointment device, really the main one, the entry levels that were talking about will be significantly less than that and maybe compete more with product similar Price right now.

What we have echo show, that's that I believe around one hundred fifty dollars that go hub, which is the bigger one with the speaker, that's one hundred and eighty dollars. And he got something like the next time, max, that cost two hundred fifty or so. If I had to guess, this display thing would easily start at three hundred and maybe three forty nine.

I don't know. I don't think three ninety nine would make sense, but maybe we're going to three forty nine because this is apple, right you pay for the ecosystem. You pay for that apple tax to be a part of IT.

Um apple, according reporters, also designed different attachments for IT, maybe ones that connect the screen onto walls more like your classic home security panel or a base that has an additional speaker similar to what the google next idea was that could be placing the kitchen or maybe on a nighttime or a desk van. So apple really imagine that at least the face time feature could be really useful if you're cooking or doing video comment work and having those meetings, so that one way could also bring some versatility. Now the product is also designed to bring syria and apple and tells the life in a way that IT hasn't been able to do so far.

That is according to this report. And so we know that there are some more advanced A I body is like generate A I for images, got integration with OpenAI ChatGPT. Those are all come in, in late.

This are some time in december to IOS and also to mac with some aspects of those. So this screen device would have to clearly run some sort of a new Operating system and some new code, and that is expecting to be code named pebble. IT also includes sensors to determine how close a person is.

Now this is really cool. You find this on the latest nest stats is really cool. Special jewels got the bigger screen, but it's still a circular display. I love that product. But what these proxy sensors might do that if you're several feet away IT might show the temperature um with a little more detail and give you different a aspects of maybe whether in room a, room b if I can do that and I just a home through that when you're closer, but then when you're father weight, i'll keep IT more general like today's weather and things like that. So as you get closer, this thing will sense IT.

And then more to that, this new designed Operating system will also include customizable home screens where you can use wickets, chek stock tickers, the weather appointments of very ala IOS can can figure the screen to highlight specific key home controls. And then there there will be a dock on the bottom of this OS specifically for launching your favorite apps, similar to, like what you have an iphone or what you have, a map that dog on the bottom, which is definitely iconic to apple's U. I.

M. That's gonna a part of IT. Accordingly, now apple discuss launching ss and having its own APP store is part of the device for the smart wall A I display, I guess you up up.

But that was eventually turned down to exclude any kind of APP store specifically for the device. And I I think that to me, the taxi smarter, keep IT simple, let apple do a thing, let the audience figured out what they tend to do more, and then move on that research. But I do really feel like google and amazon are really had.

And I when I say I had a google specifically, they just feel like the one that has their stuff together between here. Um security will also be a focus for this new device. You will deliver your security alerts, display camera footage, include video from your smart doorbells and also act like an inner come system between different rooms in your homes with multiple apple displays.

And, you know, I think the prospect with that and the apple polish could be really cool. Now apple has also, according to support, explored building its own line of smart home accessories, things like an indoor security camera that could double a baby monitor. And this should be the emphasize, hey, we have privacy controls and IT install makes me think of home security systems from A D, T.

And others that apple was really putting the crossers on them say, hey, we're coming for you so he'll have to adapt. Or at the same time, IT makes a really competitive space. But in an apple flexes their muscle. They do have the ability to move markets to change people's minds and have people invest in the system by there's IT does sound appealing. Um we'll see what's going on with that.

Now apple is also, in additional, is working on some sort of a system that will let the home device sense how many people are nearby and that based on these external senses that could be even placed in wall alerts in the vast of the device on those accesses may come later or get cancelled together. But why is this important? Well, we already know right now.

I think I talked to us, even maybe few months ago, there's companies that are making these sensors that just detect presence in a room, right? They sense when a body is in a room. And they worked together.

And what could be really valuable there is when you walk into a room, the lights automatic turn on because the proximity sensor senses you walk into IT. IT could then turn on the temperature thermostat that would then calibrate that room because IT knows you're in IT. Versus another room and know depending on where the fan is in your house deck can make a difference to.

So there's a lot of ways that these potential external sensors can even enhance the experience of moving around your house during a certain time of our day. Have certain setons, whether you leave the main drives open or not, or you like IT warming the morning or cultural in the morning, like IT would be able to detect that because he knows when you're moving through the house. Now this A I wall screen for the smart home will be a standalone device, which will allow you to Operate almost entirely on its own.

But IT is expected to require an iphone for some of the test, specially like its initial set up to get going in, will also work with apple's hand off feature that let users trigger a function on one device and then continued on their iphone after walking away. So this could definitely relate to maybe things you do on this A I world display versus maybe picking IT up in control center later in that day or that night. But he ultimately like anything apple hopes against all multiple units of this device, of any device to consumers, and allow them a place, multiple ones around the house, and use them multiple times a day.

And I think that obviously the biggest thing that's gonna come in to play of house successful diseases, how many people feel they need this or really start to feel like they need IT because IT just happens to be apple. Um the other thing is that, you know it's i'm intreated by the Price because the Price is going to really di dictate a lot. But look at my entry by apple.

Finally doing a smart zone system and finally doing at some other really throwing her ring and be more competitive. I absolutely am. This is a fasting story, fasting watch, and we'll see what happens because he was back in.

I'd even looked IT up. IT was back in mid october where the already rumblings that apple was looking to put, as you know, girl and put IT in that last article screens everywhere. So again, we will just we'll have to want to see how this plays out, but the report goal could be some time in early twenty twenty five.

Alright, less to take a men to think the sponsor this podcast. Indeed, you know, we're driven by the search for Better. But when IT comes to hiring, the best way to search for a candidate isn't a search at all.

Don't search, match with. Indeed, if you need to hire e, you need indeed, indeed is your matching and hiring platform with over three hundred fifty million global monthly visitors to indeed data. And imagine that that I helped you find quality candidates, fast ditched the busy work use indeed for scheduling, screening and messaging so you can connect with candidates faster, and indeed doesn't t just help you hire faster.

Ninety three percent of employers agree that indeed to delivers the highest quality matches compared to other job sites, according to a recent indeed survey, leverage over one hundred forty million qualifications and preferences every day. Indeed, matching engine is constantly learning from your preferences. So the more you're use, indeed the Better IT gets join more than three point five million businesses worldwide that using deed a higher great town fast.

And something I love about indeed is makes hiring all one place so easy with indeed hiring platform. So candidates you invite to apply, or three times more likely to apply your job than can to only sit in search according to U. S. D. data.

And we get them one step closer to the higher by immediately matching you with quality candidates and listers of this show will get a seventy five dollars sponsored job credit to get your jobs more visibility and indeed dot com flash apple bits. So just go to indeed dot com flash apple bits right now and support the show by saying you heard about indeed on this podcast that comes ash apple bits, terms, conditions, apply, need a higher. You need indeed.

All right, my friends, let's get into some news to talk some apple prize. We ve got some new stuff at least just want to give you a few updates around the apple vision pro. There have been plenty reports of his apple scaling back as apple has continue like apples in this for the long run.

So if if they have put things on cause we don't know one person, but there are definite reports ago, apples are not selling as many as we expect and don't we don't even know they've actually even hit the five hundred thousand unit mark? Or how much lower is from that number? How much hard is apple the second beta of vision O S two point two to developers? And the reason why this is important is the first time IT brings the ultra wide mac vertical display.

Now remember you could plug in your laptop, you could see your laptop screen um delivered you in four k but having an ultra wide display really gives you a whole up of versatility to allocate open up new apps, fill them in different directions and just see more by the apple vision problem. And I think the first thing that comes to my mind, and it's really the biggest thing that always comes to mind, whatever I think about apple vision, proves that is heavy, right? Like this thing is a heavy monster.

I I haven't been able to try out ultra wide because I don't have my vision problem of me. I did not choose the ticket to india at all. But all accounts are that IT is a game changer. IT is amazing from a stamp of the ability of the you know apple vision pro that's where IT stands out and having that super ultrawise display a very course.

So that actually in the visionary s two point to beta update and as that new feature to support wide or ullrich wide computer signs and everyone said it's an instant improvement over the current mac vertical display that also been available invision two point one, right? So we'll see how that all plays out. Other vision renews, if you have had a chance.

Remember I told you after that super incredible immersive film emerged. Like I beg you, I almost said you guys have to go check IT out at an apple store because it's absolutely free so you can check out the demo um that I just talked about you know with the new ultra. But this is the probably another demo that I can wait to see in person the weekend.

Apple in the weekend shot some, you know, there are three, six, one there one hundred eighty degree apple music video with spac audio. And its a music experience that puts you in the same of the action in basic, a music video with the weekend for a song, open hearts IT takes on a journey, you walk through a city escape, you got a downtown that's inspired by downtown L A. And this is really kind of a showcase of music and technology and what is possible.

So we've already seen just an incredible IT. Again, apple is really delivered on the goods about how amazing this is as an immersive video product. Does that mean for everyone? You know, even the Price, no matter what, still to I even tim cook recent interview, I believe, before apple's most recent earnings said that this is not a product for everyone.

That is actually pretty rare that you hear anyone for apple specific 的 C, E. O ever say that. And obviously, that s an effort to be more transparent. Of course, we're never going to know what exactly they are doing, but a lot of the reports have indicated that apples, they are slow down or maybe then stop production of the new or the current vision pro and is looking to creating maybe a potential cheaper model that's more affordable for the matching consumer and will will just have to wait and see what happens with that.

I think another call vision proof story is that not only that, launched in in two more countries, south korea and united arb and rates, so those customers can now schedule free thirty minute appointments to demo the headset and that weekend music video open hearts can be seen as part that demo as a ece of content. And I really encouraging you to check out all the cool emerge of stuff. I think the biggest ols announcement, at least over the past week for um apple vision pro is I do love the vision O S two point to announcement.

I think that's gonna key. We know that movie stars or movie stars. So you know, keep on pumping ing out the great content, keep up on pumping out that immersive video. But belt in recent, not only a new caring case that's really compact and small, but when you use the application problem and you have that big fat White head band that I prefer that softer, and sometimes they a little needs a little more support.

So belt is selling like, and not only a full travel caring case, but in over the head strap that can be used combined with that still and needed kind of rear headband instead of you having aware of the two dool headbands all the time. That gives you a little option, gives you more flexibility. But that's another product worth checking out if you have the apple vision pro.

So definitely checked that out. alright. Another thing that you should check out, yes, what we know that apple A I might be taken a little longer than you expect, but googles own gami APP, right, that is literally their AI APP is now available on the iphone.

You can download IT from the APP store. Just look for the gami APP from google. I an allows to do things.

I have a free following conversation with gami live on your phone that we've seen this, seen my academic talk because it's really late and i'm in india. My time is all mess up. We've seen, you know, german.

I be able to have these conversations with us that feel very human and can extend and understand context and able to build on another part of conversation and reference back to an early part conversation, just like humans due. That's pretty amazing. But also, you could study smarter by asking gini questions.

This is for the gi APP that lives on your iphone. Now it's a download through google. You can still do generate A I and create images in the gi APP from google on the iphone and then access some your favorite apps in germany, connecting your favorite apps from google with your extensions. You can just launch them from device IT still retains everything else.

But that's that's like, you know pretty three to four significant apple vision pronounce and I learned about that because like I know not everyone's going going to buy IT and i'm going to be really surprised who is worthwhile enough for someone to get them in an apple vision pro this Christmas season. I don't know that's a tough cell or not. We'll see.

You know what's not a tough cell though? Eg, that's right. Every year the encode consortium, this is the organization that you know suggest and.

Shows up with a few of new amos for the year so they've decided on new a oj characters coming to smart phones and other ervine in the future this will be unicode seven um and these are everything from like a Harry like big foot switch this distorted face with the eyes pulled out, whether d but kind of embarrassed something like a fight cloud of, I mean IT almost looks like Adams colliding into each other. You know you have an apple core war and apples been bit on both sides in orka or a tmm bone. There's an emotion for like a land slide and a treasure chest and there's more than just that.

But this looks like this will be seen some time maybe around twenty twenty six. Um if IT goes with this Normal time line of when it's shown this again, the unique consortium, they showcase one of the new more different platforms to design them in their own way but still stay to to them also representing the proper a ogi and I mean look to me, the more a ogi is the marrier. That's a great thing.

I'm not been complained about this. IT is pretty awesome. If you look back in history though, apple last introduced new aog s right, new at things like like a mushroom and a phoenix and a broken chain or something like a shaky head.

Doubt came out with IOS seventeen, twenty four and I was released in march of twenty, twenty, twenty four. So you let's say if the target was december, they missed that by three months. Will see you know, with people at least coming back to work how how that works out on with the new apple iphone.

Alright also funded a final cut pro, just got updated the final cut eleven and its leveraging more of the power with a serious chips. I'm not going to go through all the features, but they have some really cool once there's a new thing called a magnetic mask. It's an a power tool and it's a video editor.

Isolate a person or object that's movie with that someone walking and seeing with things in front of IT, behind IT. Maybe it's something like a car and have a video clip without a Green screen. IT doesn't force to do any time of a super time consuming specific roto scoping to separate maybe an image from an overall image that shot in video.

But this thing can do IT. There's also magnetic mask that is ideal for custom zing. Maybe things like backgrounds and environments and IT can use color correction and video facts for more control over each project. And by controlling that background and just making IT feel little home, I mean, I I don't really care about working on back off and the comes adding video, but that's just me. Now there's also another new AI feature called transcribe to captions.

And let's what IT sounds like, let's final cup of automatically generate close captions in the time line using apple own trained large language models that then analyzes you spoke in audio in a video and then allows you to then add that the notion, so really cool new tools and logic pro also, but final cup pro eleven is the big one. The other future are finally supporting video editing for facial video. This is exciting.

I don't know how many of you have started adding special video. The new final cup pro eleven supports video editing in special video that started being captured by the iphone fifteen pro, iphone sixteen pro models and higher or X R I, iphone sixteen and sixteen pro models or higher that are able to capture space al video, and they got something like kennon are seven camera with a specific dual lens. It's called the R F fifty s seven lens that allows you to cut proportions while enjoy the citizens you know the great scenery that you have um in spac videos I am excited about this.

This just looks really could I get that dept. field. And finally, in some, just having a one video clip y shot with your phone now can be more creative and start doing some more story telling tight shots and wide shots and medium shots and I don't know, maybe make a spac video surfing, i'll be going to know why I would be actually pretty fun.

And then i'd have to use final cut pro kind of learn on that. I'll mingle all marry IT on that will if that happened. So um you can also have a mac paired d with a vision pro and the mac virtual display that the display in the vision pro can be used for eating spac video with the final cut pro software, right?

So we're using final cut pro to edit spital video innovation pro, then watch that footage on a vision pro um or they can know you can share them to others and upload the vision O S vimeo APP. So right, there's that video APP specifically for special video content that's super cool. So yeah, the big news this week, apple taking the smart home seriously, right? What else? New apple vision pro tools and features come in and experiences.

And then also you have something like google gi APP on the iphone to get a real sense of, I mean, you will see how much more capable their general A I quite honestly, is even through a third party APP, it's going to take apple some time to get there and new happenings around final cut pro, which hopefully, hopefully have the opportunity to really work through IT and and do IT. It's best. Alright, everybody, that is gonna al for this episode coming to you from delhi, india.
