In this segment of how wrong were they we have the following quote quote ““Google glasses may look and seem absurd now but (Brian) Sozzi says they are “a product that is going to set the stage for many other interesting products.” For the moment, at least, the same cannot be said of iPhones or iPads. unquote
Jeff Macke, Yahoo! Breakout, 27 February 2013
The iPhone and iPad were industry changing devices that set the stage for all Smartphones and tablets that have come since. Google Glass is an uber geeky product that other geeks make fun of those wearing it and everyone else looks at Google Glass users with distain -no offense to anyone in the audience wearing it - but - Just Sayin

deals-apple-store-hours-announced/
As I mentioned on the last episode - I would be giving some blackFriday deals on this episode. To start with - Apple announced their Apple store hours for the 28th - and that will be 8:00 AM Local time - 2 hours earlier than normal.
04:09
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/apples-black-friday-deals-
213324461.html
And if you go to the Apple store what are you going to save.
Well for any iPhone that is $99 down or more - you will save $50.
Any iPad - you will also save $50.
Any Mac - Except Mac Pro - you will save $100
And iPod Touch or iPod Nano - you save $25 - same with any Apple TV and any Beats HeadPhones and Speakers.
So really the best deal is $25 off a $99 Apple TV.
04:53
http://www.tuaw.com/2014/11/23/black-friday-2014-best-
deals-on-the-ipad-air-and-ipad-mini/
But as we have seen in the past - Apple Stores are not where you will get the best deals. Other stores will offer even sweeter deals to try to lure you in their stores.
Lets start with the iPad Air 2 - Best Buy is offering $100 discount for All iPad Air 2 models - double what Apple is offering. However Target is offering a better deal of $140 gift card off any iPad Air 2.
The iPad Mini 3 - you can get a $100 gift card at Target.
There are also a bunch of $100 discounts or gift cards for the iPad Air original at Walmart, Target, Sam's club, Staples and more.
If you are looking for a new iPad under $200 - You can actually find one at Walmart. The 16 GB Wifi only iPad mini original - is $199 + a $30 walmart gift card - Available between 6 and 7 pm on November 27th only. So a final price of $169 - which is also the price you would pay at Target well after you pay $249 and then get an $80 Target Gift card.
Speaking of iTunes gift cards - lots of places with them for 15% off - that is kind of the normal special discount through out the year - it is the %20 discount that is the rare and best deal when you can find it. And it looks like Sams club will be selling 4 packs of $25 gift cards for $79 - which is nice to stock up on for Birthday presents and presents for teachers.
I would suggest holding for buying iTunes cards at the 15% discount - as 20% discounts are the ones I think are special.
Office Depot is also offering up the 20% discount on a $50 iTunes gift card.
Personally I will be going to Sams club to stock up - limits 15 per customer and 50 per store. Friday to Sunday - not that there will be any left even on Saturday.
Hi Rob,
Stopped in a Costco in Kona, HI. They have $100 of iTunes gift cards discounted to $79.49 (4x25 limit 3.) That's the lowest I've ever seen. Not sure if this is the same deal at mainland Costco stores but if anyone is on the Big Island, it's a bargain.
Regards,
Greg from LA.
The Pebble Steel - If you can not wait for the Apple Watch - will be $150 at Best Buy for Black Friday - that is $50 off the current price and $100 off where the price was earlier in the year.

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2014/11/target-announces-some-
spectacular-black-friday-deals-on-apple-products
I mentioned on the last show about the Crusta Case from Amzer - well they are offering 30% off Orders on their website on Black Friday - 12:01 AM to 8 PM CT - Use the code FRIDAY - It is a north American deal only. Go to Amzer.com to see their product offerings - or go back to Ep 328 to hear my review of the Crusta - which is my iPhone 6Plus case of choice.
http://www.amzer.com/crusta
A Reminder - if you put out a social push or wrote a review about Today in iOS in iTunes - and want to be entered in the giveaway for the Crusta Case - you have until Friday morning to send me an email letting me know where you promoted the show. I saw a couple of tweets promoting the show - where the person did not send in the email to today in iOS at gmail dot com.
Put Crusta - C R U S T A in the subject line.
09:43
http://www.plxdevices.com/product_info.php?id=MOBLLEGIONMETER
Another item I mentioned on the last show with a Black Friday deal is the Legion Meter - They are offering a special buy one get one free offer. So for $70 you get two Legion Meters.
I have not sat down and charted out how much faster it charges my iPhone yet - sorry - but I can tell you one place I use it now - and that is in charging up my Pebble watch - one of the issues I have had with my Pebble is in getting the mag charge connector to make a good contact - sometime I think it is connected and 8 hours later it is not charged. But with the legion meter I can see it go from no W's drawn to 0.4 Watts - and that means it is charging. If you have a device that you are not sure if it charging - or just want to check to see if it is done - as in the amount of power being used drops way off - then the Legion meter definitely helps there.
This black friday deal is a good one - Link in the show notes.
Another product we mentioned on the show recently is also having a black friday deal - that is XPrintserver from Lantronix - they are offering up a 20% discount from 12:01 AM Friday the 28th to 11:59 PM Monday December 1st. Use promo code - BFCM2014 during the check out process. It really is a cool device for connecting your USB printer to your network and being able to print to said USB printer from your iOS device. Take a listen to Ep 326 at the 46:08 mark to learn more about this device.
I am going to pin the post for this episode to the top of the Google+ community - if you come across any other Black Friday or Cyber Monday details you want to share - please put them in the comments for the post of this episode - Ep 329 in our GooglePlus community.

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2014/11/following-the-launch-of-
the-iphone-6-and-iphone-6-plus-an-app-store-record-falls
Thanks to Michael for the heads up on this next one - which is being reported and re-reported - with some mis-information - and it is per the report from the Research company Fiksu - the put out a report on Smartphone App downloads - one of the items being reported is the following quote In October, App Store downloads reached a record 7.8 million per day. This compared to 5.5 million per day in September. unquote
Except for one minor bit of info - that 7.8 M per day and 5.5 mil per day are the number of downloads from the top 200 free apps in the US. So not only did they miss that US only part - they missed the fact it is just for 200 apps out of over 1 Million apps. Doooohhhh.
Now don't get me wrong 42 % increase from Sept to October is impressive. Most Impressive. But there are a lot more than 7.8 M downloads per day for iOS Apps.
All signs do point to a major record breaking quarter for iPhone sales - The stock price is also indicating that as well - at over $118 per share and climbing.

Hey Rob,
Just listened to your latest podcast -- keep up the good work as always
I am experiencing the same issue with my iPad that you talked about with your wife's. I have the 3rd gen iPad and the wifi is not usable when Bluetooth is turned on and connected to my Bluetooth speaker. If I disconnect from my speaker everything goes back to normal though. I have had this issue since since I updated to iOS 8. I would be very interested in finding out a solution for this.
Regards,
Ryan
From the comments on the post for Ep 328.
Quote for Jonathan in New Orleans, about his question about family share, per the apple website, only one account is the family organizer and it is THEIR credit card that all purchase are made from. One way to work around this issue as I have an 18yr old son, he has an iTunes Gift Card and all his purchases are made that way. when he runs out he re-fills it and continues to purchase that way and I don't get charged on my credit card for his purchases, but when he runs out of credits he could alway just purchase anything he wanted on my credit card without the system asking me for permission.
unquote
Francisco Tapia
Thanks Francisco - Great way to do it - where other users on your account can make purchases without a credit card - and if you go per earlier in the show and pick up some gift cards this weekend - you may be able to save 20% of those cards.
Hi Rob,
When I ask to use Apple Pay at the McDonald's drive thrus near me, the workers stick the card reader out the window so I can reach it with my iPhone.

Thanks to everyone that has joined and thanks for the great posts.
One new post in the G+ community that went up since the last episode came out is from Lawrence McFarland - and it is per the Pebble and Smartwatch Pro app - and if you get the Smartwatch Pro app you can get $20 off on the Purchase of a Pebble watch. Thus bringing the price down to $79. Thanks Lawrence for that heads up.
- And since the last episode there were also dozens and dozens of other new posts in the Tii Google+ community - which is an Android bois free zone and spammer free zone. Yup it is the most civil Google+ community covering iOS.
Folks Go to today in iOS dot com slash community to join in.
And thanks to all 1600+ of you already in the community and contributing.
Oh and Civil means just that - if you are not civil and tell someone that asks a question to go search for it or some other snarky comment - I will boot you. The whole idea of this community is anyone can ask any question related to iOS with no fear of someone getting on them about asking it.

http://9to5mac.com/2014/11/18/apple-mfi-summit-third-
party-products-lightning-port-new-accessories/
Thanks to all that sent in this next one.
And it is that Apple will soon be letting 3rd party products use of the Lightening port. Earlier this month Apple had their Made for iDevices Summit in China - and this is where they let their partners know what is up and what they can do officially if they want to get that Made For iDevice certification - and again this year the big news was the opening up of the lightening port.
One of the first products will be Headphones directly plugged into the lightening port - expect those first from Apple / beats.
Additionally for all those battery pack cases out there - going forward instead of the micro USB port for charging the battery pack - it could be a lightning port. Thus only needing to take your lightening cord with you on a trip.
The other news out of the Meeting - was that Apple has now started accepting product plans for Homekit. So expect a whole bunch of product launches or really announcements around CES this year.

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/11/21/apples-a8-soc-reportedly-
capable-of-4k-video-output-may-pave-way-for-ultra-
high-resolution-apple-tv
Thanks to all that sent in links for this next one - which is that the A8 chip in the iPhone 6 and 6plus already technically supports 4K video output.
That said the screen is not able to truly display 4k video. The iPhone 6+ is 1920 x 1080 vs 4k Video resolution of 3840 x 2160 - yes exactly double on both dimensions for those checking on their calculator app.
This discovery of 4K video support was made by the developers of WALTR a Mac App that allows quick upload of video files to a users iPhone from the Mac. In testing the App they found they could playback 4K video on the iPhone 6.
What Apple Insider speculates is that the A8 chip could be used for the guts of the next Apple TV - thus allowing for 4k video playback via Apple TV.
And file this one under - ok one more straw on the next Apple TV's back.

http://www.fiercemobileit.com/story/apple-fills-enterprise-
mobility-gap-left-receding-blackberry/2014-11-19
Thanks to Paul G for this next one. Which is about Apple filling in the void left by Blackberry's implosion in the Enterprise space.
According to Data from Globo and Enterprise Mobility Management company - per their customers in 2014. iOS made up 61% of mobile devices deployed vs 35% for Android vs 3.4% for Blackberry vs 0.6% for Windows Phone. Yikes.
Globo pins Apples success per its non-fragments platform. vs well Androids very fragmented offering. They also said iOS's updates being able to get out quickly and regularly helps ensure that security patches are not just available but actually installed. Plus having everyone running on the latest version of the OS means less conflicts when collaborating with colleagues.
Add to that Apples push with IBM - and you can see Apple is getting more and more serious with the Enterprise market. Which makes sense - as Apples is coming close to saturating the personal Mobile space - and may actually get to the point of saturation this quarter. As in Quarterly sales may peak this quarter with basically flat sales yr/yr to a slight decline a year from now at least in the direct to consumer market - meaning any growth would need most likely come from the enterprise market. As well it does not make sense for Apple to go into the low end of the consumer market.

http://9to5mac.com/2014/11/09/home-depot-
windows-breach-macbooks-iphones/
This next one just goes in the too funny category - seem Home Depot blames its epic and massive Security breach on Windows - and now Senior executives at Home Depot have been given MacBooks and iPhones
So to summarize - Home Depot has a security breach in which 56 Million Credit card accounts and 53 Million email addresses of customers were compromised by hackers. The root cause a windows vulnerability in Home Depots main computer network.
So the execs that are in charge of making sure that all is ok between Home Depot and their customers - after preceding over one of the most epic fails in consumer history - yeah these folks are rewarded with new Macs and iPhones. Well that will teach them. Like I said - too funny.

Hi Rob,

Hi Rob,
Nice looking and clean new version of the Tii app. But I have been living with it since it has been released and am finding it like a new pair of shoes to fit into. Mostly, I seem to remember that when episodes were played they disappeared off the feed. Now they just kind of hang around like unwanted guests that overstay their welcome. Am I missing something? Is there a setting I need to invoke? Or is that just how it works now.
Regards,
Larry
Hi Larry,
In the Tii App - Up at the top of the Episode list - tap on More.
Then you can select Played or unplayed.
The old version only let you darken the played ones there was no removing the old episodes - But now you can get a list that just shows unplayed or just shows played.
Additionally it also now shows you what % of the episode you have played.
So if you looked at all audio episodes for example - you would see what % you have played for each episode.
I think you will see there are much nicer features that are more user friendly for the podcast listener with the new version.

Thanks to Michael for this next one. Which is a link to an article about Ecamm's Call Recorder - this is a Mac App - but I am mentioning it - as you can use it on a mac to record FaceTime calls and Phone Relay calls - so if you get a call on your iPhone and answer it on your mac - you can then record audio calls with Call Recorder. Again you do need a Mac and an iPhone from which to hand off the call from.
The App is Free to try and costs $29.95 from Ecamm.

VOICEMAIL - Review_Case_Robert_CA_Caseology_review
Dear Rob,
During the month it took Apple to deliver my two, yes two, iPhone 6 Pluses, I researched and ordered a few items. Took your advice to heart about Post iPhone Delivery Stress Disorder and decided to get the wife a new phone rather than handing her my slow-as-all-get-out iPhone 4S — It worked! She loves her new 6 Plus and lets me play with mine all I want.
Anyway, here are the accessories I ordered and a few notes about them.
Power Support AFP Crystal Film for iPhone 6 Plus screen protector ($19.95 for a two pack). Great quality and value. I’ve used Power Support protectors on all my iPhones over the years. They last, don’t scratch, are absolutely clear and the touch sensitivity is great. For the last few devices, I’ve been going with crystal rather than anti-glare because photos look so much more brilliant. One note: because the new 6s have curved edges, the protector is limited to the flat part of the screen, leaving a small gap. Power Support explains that going all the way to the edge would involve making a curved protector that could more easily come off. There is a slight edge that you feel when you use gestures that come from off the screen to on, but it is not too objectionable. Power Support has assured me they are working on putting a beveled edge onto future products. Phenomenal value at $10 for each protector and it will, trust me, last the life of any iPhone. http://www.powersupportintl.com/iPhone-6-and-6-plus-s/1885.htm
Power Support Air Jacket Clear for iPhone 6 Plus case ($29.95). This is a minimalist case that retains the look and feel of the naked iPhone. Beautiful execution and feel. Somewhat of a struggle to get on and off but Power Support has a video that makes it easier. I like that I get to use the real buttons with their distinctive click for volume, etc. And everyone who sees the case oohs and ahhs and wants one. It is a bit slick, and I’ve had a few near bobbles while handing my 6 Plus over to friends and family to look at my photos. Need to be careful with this one. http://www.powersupportintl.com/iPhone-6-and-6-plus-s/1885.htm
Tech21 iPhone 6 Plus Case (Classic Check - Clear & Blue) ($39.99). These are the most protective and easy to use cases going. My wife loves the look of her blue one and I think it is a bit more attractive than the clear, especially with a Silver iPhone. The case, because it has a protective bumper all the way around makes the phone wider, this is a bit of a problem for me with my small hands. Not so much for my wife. However, this is my go-to case when I plan to take a lot of photos, pulling the 6 Plus out of my pocket over concrete several times an hour. The fit is fantastic and the 6 Plus pops in and out with little effort and, yet, it is a secure fit. https://www.tech21.com/iphone-6-plus-cases
Griffin Trainer fo iPhone 6 Plus armband ($19.99). My wife uses this for running. A good value. Can operate the phone through the case. The iPhone must be put in the case naked except for the screen protector. Easy to use and with the Tech21 case, going from one to the other is easy. To take a photo, you have to pull out the lens. It isn’t waterproof in any way so for rainy days, my wife has to put the 6 Plus in a Ziploc bag before putting it in the armband. http://store.griffintechnology.com/iphone-6/trainer-for-iphone-6-plus
amphipod AirFlow Lite belt ($23.95). This is what I prefer on my runs. It is a belt that easily fits the iPhone 6 Plus and has a second compartment for keys or gel packs. It says it is “moisture resistant” but I’d still put the phone in a Ziploc for a downpour. This is a great option for my wife when she doesn’t want to carry a purse and isn’t wearing jeans with a large enough pocket for the 6 Plus. Comes in three nifty fluorescent colors and classic black. http://www.amphipod.com/products/holders/music/electronics/airflow-lite
So those are my recommendations for the moment. Hope this helps some of your listeners who were asking about such things.
Always, always, love listening to your podcast. It keep me up to date and there isn’t an episode, not one, where I don’t learn something new and useful.
Regards,
Jeff in Burbank

Hello Rob,
I want to report the disappointing saga of my i-Pad mini.
I purchased a 64 gig wifi and cellular i-Pad Mini II in August from BestBuy.
I had problems which most of your listeners will not have because I am strictly a voice over user.
I decided to learn all of the keyboard navigation short cuts but found that my Logitek keyboard case wouldn't pair.
I went to the Apple store and they could not pair my keyboard either. They tried it with an i-Pad Air II. They also tried an apple keyboard and their Logitek keyboard without success.
They thought my unit had been corrupted so ordered another.
I went in on Monday to pick it up.
First, they updated it to 8.1.1 and again tried all of the above mentioned keyboards.
I went home as they requested and called Apple-care who sent me back the next day.
I also tweeted around and found some work arounds.
There has been a bug since the release of IOS 8 in which some keyboards and some units do not work with Voice over. If Voice over is turned off, the pairing works and the keyboards function. If voice over stays on, the keyboards simply don't function, or in some cases, crash the IOS devices.
, I took my i-Pad back to Best Buy and got a full refund.
I know most people have had good experiences with the Apple stores and until now, I have had fine experiences.
But, the employees are not trained to handle complexity. Most don't know anything about voice over and one was horrified to find screen curtain on when he picked up my i-Pad. I told him how to fix it, and I brought the screen back to life.
I comment here only because I am saddened that I am not able to use an i-Pad. Yes, I can and do most everything from my phone, but using an i-Pad totally with keyboard control was something I wanted to do.
Be ware of complexity.

Jan B
