Thanks JEFF for the music and folks I will put the full song at the end of the episode. I also want to thank TOSIN for sending in the Artwork for today's show. TOSIN wrote
Hi Rob,
Never done this before but I came across this this app the other day and was messing around with it and then this idea occurred to me. I've used the waterlogue app to covert the real life photo I got from the "pimp your screen" app on my iPhone into a water painting and then annotated with evernote's skitch app on my iPad.
I'm sure you've got artwork lined up for your next episode but just in case, here's one you could use.
Regards,
Tosin O from Hockley Heath UK
Well TOSIN Thanks again for sending in this artwork and folks you can see TOSIN'S artwork in the FREE Tii App via the BONUS button for ep 335 - or if you subscribe via iTunes on your computer as the album artwork and also as a stand alone post in the VIP section and at Facebook.com/todayinios.

In this segment of how wrong were they we have the following quote quote “Apple has become a value trap, This is a company with no growth, and profit margins that are way too high vis a vis the competition.” UNQUOTE
Doug Kass, Seabreeze Partners Management, 17 Sept 2013
That "value trap” as Doug Kass called it on Sept 17 2013 was priced at $65 - it is now at over $113 - Yeah I can see how 75% growth in value is a trap. Just Sayin

http://www.cultofmac.com/309730/states-iphone-users-will-surprise/
If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Kansas, Mississippi, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont and Massachusetts - when you look around it may seems like most people have an iPhone - and you know what - you would be right - those are the states with 55 to 65% iPhone traffic according to Chitika. At least that is the % of users causing traffic with apps that use the Chitika ads module. According to those that put together the report - quote Our analysis does point towards state-level evidence on the factors affecting iPhone usage rates, iPhone usage shares are positively correlated with level of education and population density at the state-level. unquote.
What they did not say mention was What about correlation between states with. AT&T customers and iPhone users compared. I am guessing there is still some influence per AT&T and iPhone users - at least where AT&T was more popular a few years ago.
Interesting the report covered % of iPhone use - the lowest group was 40% to 44% - meaning worst case - you are looking at 40% iPhone use as % of share in any given state. On the highest end it is 65%. Still saying iPhone usage varies betweens 40% and 65% in the US depending on your state is pretty impressive use. So much for the myth that android is killing it in the US at least.

money-than-the-box-office-last-year/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000602
Thanks to Myron for the heads up on this next one.
And I want you to really think about this next one - which is the new that in 2014 - there was more revenue generated for iOS Apps then there was for Hollywood’s US Box office Ticket Revenue. 7 Years ago there was no revenue - It was not until the middle of 2008 that the App store from Apple came about. Apple has created an incredible App economy - and the best thing is the devs are not forced to all be in Hollywood or cities right around it. You can be an app dev in any city, town, hamlet or ranch anywhere in the world - as long as you have electricity and a connection to the internet.
In the US alone Apple estimates there are 627,000 jobs created for this App ecosystem.
It has been amazing to watch all this unfold - especially if you have a chance to go back and listen to some of the older episodes of Tii from 2007 - where Apple did not want an app store. They were pushing for HTML5 / web apps - and if you do listen to those older episodes - you will hear me pushing for allowing native apps - prior to apple actually giving in and allowing it. Apple truly has those early jailbreakers to thank for this part of the Apple Eco system - and it really is one of the most important pieces of the Apple Eco system.
Again in under 7 years - App Revenue was greater by a wide margin than Hollywood’s US Box Office Revenue - and to me that is just amazing and mind blowing and well wonderful as well.

Thanks to michael for this next one which is that 15 More banks have signed on to support Apple Pay and with one breath they are.
A+ Federal Credit Union
-Amegy Bank of Texas
-America First Credit Union
-Bethpage Federal Credit Union
-California Bank & Trust
-Connex Credit Union
-Goldenwest FCU
-Huntington Bank
-KeyPoint Credit Union
-Meijer Credit Union
-National Bank of Arizona
-Nevada State Bank
-The Bank of Greene County
-Vectra Bank
-Zions First National Bank
That brings to over 50 different banks and financial institutions that support Apple Pay.
Link to the full list in the show notes.
But reality was Apple Pay was already supported by the biggest banks. But still if yours was one of the 15 I just lifted - it was good news for you.

http://www.bemyeyes.org/
There is a new app / service I must mention on he show - it is called Be My Eyes - thanks to all that sent in links on this one.
In a nutshell what this is an app where a sight impaired users requests help seeing what is around them - a sighted user then replies to that request and describes what they see being video streamed from the requestors phone. Maybe they are looking for the ingredients of an food item they are about to buy or its expiration date, or maybe to confirm they were just given back the right amount of change, or maybe it is just to help them locate something they dropped or get their bearings or even to confirm that person they met at that social event looks the age they said they were. There are lots of opportunities for you to be helped by this app or to help someone with this app and who knows you might make a new virtual friend.
Initial reports are that so many people have signed up to help - there is no shortage - but that is now while it is in the news - but later on - hard to say if that will keep up. Hopefully it does - but if not I am curious to know if you help X amount of people and are in High school if those hours of help would count towards your community volunteer hours. If anyone officials from a school could look into this - that would be appreciated.
Again the website is BE MY EYES dot ORG - as in B E M Y E Y E S dot org - thanks for no funky spelling to the devs on this. Right now this is just for iOS - but if you are listening to this - that is probably not an issue.

VOICEMAIL - Rick_CT_Part1_feedback_voiceover
Hi Rob,
Per the caller asking about the Alarm Clock in the Headphones - My advice would be to look for a music/podcast app that has a wake up to feature. Preferably a podcast type app where you have a file downloaded and not dependent on a data signal.

Mike R
Hello Rob,
just been listening to the latest podcast 334.
Somebody stated that VoiceOver is unusable on the Mac.
I disagree with this as I have been using VO on a 21” iMac for the last 2 years since switching from Windows. No screen reader is perfect in my opinion although VO is very darn good. I purchased the iMac after using an iPhone since v4. Had a 5 now using a 6.
Very happy with all Apple products including the iPad Air.
Regards,
Max.
Hi Rob
In response to the caller on the last episode who wanted to put her apps in alphabetical order, there is a way to do this. Go to Settings/General/Reset/Reset Home Screen Layout. The stock apps will appear in their factory default locations. The other apps will now appear in alphabetical order. One important thing to be aware of is if you have created folders, doing this will remove them.
Regards
Steve

Hi Rob,
Per item 334:
Caller question regarding an iOS 8 Jailbreak tweak which makes searching through numerous apps quicker; i.e. alphabetical, favorites, and recents list.
Try Searchlight from the Cydia App Store, which will run you $1.99 from the BigBoss repo. This tweak adds much more functionality to spotlight search. As mentioned above, Searchlight alphabetically lists all of your apps and allows the user to pick and choose a separate list of commonly used apps. There are some alternatives such as Smart search, but the app lists are not as extensive.
Regards,

Hi Rob,
Just chiming in about your stance on the refund policy in the EU. While I can understand your position from an economic point of view (and agree with that part) I disagree with the part that apple should fight this. If anything good has come out of this, it is that blind people who use voiceOver can more "freely” try apps and don’t have to rely on a good-hearted Apple person or a lengthy process to get our money back when an unresponsive developer is afoot. Note the qualifiers there: I’ll buy apps at a dollar or so, but $10 sight unseen is a bit much for a poor college student. I also try very hard to communicate with developers or get the word out. So for VoiceOver users, the hassle-free refund policy is a good thing. Here’s hoping they allow it in the states.
Also, for the blind person wanting to learn voiceOver, I recommend (along with whomever he might encounter at the Apple store) these two sites:
Mac for the Blind:
http://macfortheblind.com
is a good site for getting tips and tricks, as well as useful links to apple’s own documentation. John, the person who runs the site, I believe does training on an individual basis, but you will have to contact him for further details.
Another great repository of apps, forums, podcast demos, and just good old fashion people helping people out is Applevis:
http://www.applevis.com
I hope this helps the DC listener out. Welcome to iOS!!

Chelsea

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 was a nice tip that came from Francisco Tapia - If you are in the safari app - you can find past closed tabs. To do this in the lower right tap on the double square - the one that shows the open tabs - then tap AND HOLD on the big Plus button at the bottom center - it will then show you a list of “Recently closed tabs”
Thanks Francisco for that tip.
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.

http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/01/25/apple-adds-free-
on-itunes-tab-to-itunes-app-on-ios-desktop/
Thanks to Steve from Brisbane for this next one.
Which is that Apple adds a new Free on iTunes section to iTunes on your iOS device and also on the desktop version. So to check this one out I had to go find the folder I had iTunes hidden in on my iOS device - but once found and launched - yup there it was the new Free on iTunes featured button in the middle of the screen. And in there I could see free Songs and free Full-Length TV episodes - and well free Song and free full length TV episodes - sorry no free movies.
But hey you can get the first episode of 12 monkeys for free if you missed it. Although I am kind of at a quandry with that one as I put the original Terry Giliam 12 monkeys as one of my top 10 movies of all time. It really was just a great movie - and I am afraid to watch it for fear they will ruin such a great property. Ohhhh the woes of a nerd.

http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/22/apple-targets-for-apple-
watch-battery-life-revealed-a5-caliber-cpu-inside/
Lots of reports about the Apple Watch battery life or if the reports are true lack there of.
Ok lets go over what some of those reported numbers from sources in the know are saying.
Apple was wanting the following specs:
4 Days - that is the length of time if left in sleeping mode.
3 Days of pure standby time
19 hours of combined active / passive use
and 2.5 to 4 hours of active application use
Those sources however are saying Apple will only likely achieve approximately 2 to 3 days in either standby or low power modes.
With the Watch face showing constantly - and nothing else going on - they are saying Apple is getting 3 hours of battery life.
And they are getting 2.5 hours of heavy application use like game play.
And finally for the watches fitness tracking software Apple is targeting 4 hours of straight exercise tracking
Again this is all from unnamed sources in the know. So take it for what it is worth - which may be nothing. Here is my prediction - since this Apple rumor has been widely reported - And in the past Apple has made announcements right after quarterly calls - I am predicting that Wednesday or Thursday of this week - we hear something from Apple with regards to the Apples watch and at that time there would be more specs released.

http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/01/18/kgi-apple-likely-
to-launch-stylus-to-enhance-upcoming-129-inch-ipad-user-experience
Thanks to Tash and a few others for this next one - which is per another rumor that seems to be heating up as of late - and that is the 12.9 inch iPad Pro rumor - along with Apple introducing an Apple Stylus. Now note this latest rumor round is coming from Apple Analyst - Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities - whom has a much better track record of getting rumors right - that said - you need to understand - Much better is still in the neighborhood of a good major league batter - i.e. in the 30 to 40% range.
What is different with Apples stylus vs one you get at the dollar store - is that Apples will cost a lot more than a dollar - and it will have a gyroscope built in to support 3D handwriting - which I am sure will look great on the 2D iPad Pro.
Anyway - this is not something that will come with the iPad pro - but something you buy as an accessory for the iPad Pro. This would be something charged via the lightening port of your iPad.
And he is also saying the iPad Pro would finally offer split screen on an iPad.
If this sounds like wetting your finger and putting it up to see which way the wind is blowing - you would be likely be correct - but then again - Ming Chi does have a better record then most when using that method.

Thanks to Myron for this next one. With this next one being of interested for those of you that well you know booked a plane ticket for Sunday night or agreed to go to your nieces musical or in the case of my father a few years ago were dragged off to a Musical in NY during Super Bowl sunday - Yeah for all of you that will be out and about during the super bowl - NBC has your back - if you have an iOS device that is - as NBC will allow you to stream the super bowl even without a cable account. Heck you will even be treated to what will seem like endless hours of pregame coverage starting at Noon ET on Sunday the 1st. This is all via the NBC Sports Live Extra App. And again this is totally free to any iOS owner. If you are not an iOS owner - say an Android owner - well then you might feel a little deflated with this offer.

http://www.computerworld.com/article/2875165/all-signs-
point-to-the-demise-of-microsofts-surface-tablet.html
Thanks to Dr. John for this next one. Which we file under SHOCKER
And it relates to the MS Surface 2 tablet - that has song, danced and clicked its way into the hearts of well basically no one.
Remember the first gen Surface was called the Surface RT - and yes that is the one that MS wrote off $900 Million on.
Now don’t get this confused with MS Surface Pro - that is the one that runs windows. No word yet on what level the write off will be on this one - just that basically they are no longer selling new ones on their store or well they are showing up as out of stock - same with their retail partner Best Buy.
Microsoft had their quarterly conference call today and it was not ALL bad news they had 26.5 Billion dollars of revenue last quarter that is up 8% from the same quarter a year earlier.
They sold 10 Million Phones. Which sounds good until you see they had an ASP of $230 - vs the ASP of iPhones which is north of $600.
And MS did confirm it is no longer selling the Surface 2 - so you can officially stick a fork in it - right next to all the other forks un-officially stuck in it over the past year.
MS is now only selling the Surface Pro 3 - which makes sense - as its best selling feature is that it runs Windows - not some non-compatible OS.
How did Wallstreet react to the Conference call - well the stock was down 4% in after market trading - that said - I can remember quite a few times when Apple had what I thought was a grand slam quarterly report - only to see the stock drop 4% or there about in after market trading.
To me though the take away from their quarterly report - ASP of $230 for their phones vs Apples ASP’s which are not just well north of $600 but probably will be well north of $700 tomorrow when Apple reports.

Hi Rob,
I was listening to the podcast today and you asked if anyone had the R79 case. I Purchased the case. My overall impression is that it does give a better signal, but only slightly better.
I set my iPhone to field test mode so I get a numeric value from the signal, rather than 3 or 4 bars, I noticed before I put the case on, I saw -110 db. After putting the case on, it was constantly -100 db. I have done some experiments with taking the case on and off, and consistently see about a 10db signal improvement. I got the case because where i work, I have a great signal, but when I’m home not so much, there are some places in the house where I have to go to talk on the phone. With the case, I haven’t noticed having to do that, but I’m not a heavy phone user at home, so can’t comment if it would be enough for most people.
Aside from the signal strength, I think the case is a decent case, in itself. It seems to be well made, and I like how the bottom is cut out so it doesn’t interfere with various non-apple lightning or dock connectors. Overall, I think it’s a little expensive for a case, but not tremendously expensive. It’s not a magic cure to low signals, but if you are right on the edge in some specific areas it might help.

Hi Rob,
I wanted to let you know that I received my Acme Made "Charge" cases that you mentioned on Tii. I backed the project at the $55 level which gave me two cases. Last month they sent an update which said to watch for early delivery, originally they were scheduled for late March. Today when I arrived home, both cases one for my wife's 6 and one for my 6+ were in the package. The cases look good with a lightning charge cord tucked in the kickstand. Good quality with a tight fit on the phone. The buttons are open for the original feel and just a hit of the gold is visible at the top and bottom.
Thanks for the recommendation of this project! They came through unlike other projects which have yet to deliver can you say SOS Charger*.
One observation, the side ridge isn't deep enough to protect from a face drop. Users will just have to be aware.

I had a couple of listeners email in that they supported this next one - which is called the Vikaura Screen - V I K A U R A - Quote Vikaura lets you friends & family drive images and information out of your phone and into your world - no wires unquote.
First off this one has until Feb 3rd at 12:57 PM CT to get funded - and it ain’t there yet - as it only has $90k towards it goal of 125k.
Essentially this is an e-ink screen you can wirelessly push an image to - they are offering up a 4” version for $99, a 6” for $129 and a 9.7” for $199.
Yes there is more to it than that - as they claim the battery life for their devices lasts quote for years on its battery unquote
It does look cool - but $199 cool - I am not sure. And neither are most others - as again they are a bit short on hitting their goal.
If they do hit their goal for those that funded it - I will be very interested to hear your thoughts when you get it. For all others interested in this search for V I K A U R A vikaura at kickstarter dot com or in the show notes for ep 335

s-most-advanced-charging-cable
Hi Rob,
If i have the legion meter wouldn’t the SoniCable be the same but slower?
Regards,
Michael
And what Michael is talking about is the SoniCable - spelled S O N I C A B L E - which is at Indiegogo dot com - and has raised over 230k towards a goal of 10k - so they are well over their goal.
The folks behind this one are touting it as the worlds most advanced charging cable.
Pricing on this is $27 and what they are claiming is that you can charge your device fully in half the time as normal. Which yes is something that the Legion Meter claims as well.
And like the legion meter it has two modes - one mode is where it is like a normal USB to Lightening cable allowing you to charge and sync your device - but on the other mode it is focused just on Power - and sync / data is disabled - and all you can do is charge but at a faster rate.
They claim the following features for the cable. Dual sided USB, Aluminum Connectors, Table free cable with is strong and durable.
And they are also claiming the MFI - Made for iPhone designation as well.
You can also get 2 for $49 or 5 for $110.
Search for S O N I C A B L E at indie go go or in the show notes for ep 335
Per is this slower or faster than the Legion Meter - I think the legion meter claimed charging a little faster than 2x - but honestly with my device - I never did see that and I just use the Legion meter mostly to make sure I am actually charging my Pebble - as it shows the 0.08 MA charge it draws.

I get lots and lots and lots of emails from devs promoting their apps - most of them free and almost none of which I have time check out. But every so often I will see one come through I think has potential - and this week I saw and downloaded one of them - the App is called Click the Number - it is a simple game - where you are presented with a few numbers and you need to tap on the one listed above. You tap the correct one and the next screen there are more numbers - and so on - and you have just a few seconds to locate the right number and later on in the game the right symbol or letter. It is simple - and helps exercise your mind - and it is free - the app is called Click the Number - and it is one I will be getting the kids to play as well - especially the 6 year old that needs an app like this.
Oh and if you are an App dev and have a free app - the best way to get featured on this show is to send me in a 60 sec or less review of your app for me to play. Again most that just send in a link never get mentioned on the show - but any that send in an audio review get up on the show. PS - first day playing with this my best was 18.
email me today in iOS at gmail dot com - let me know you best score.
Lets see where I am by the next episode.

Hi Rob
I am fairly new to the Instagram app for iOS. I am finding if I upload an existing photo to Instagram from my camera roll, it saves a duplicate photo to my camera roll, which then means I have to go in and delete the unwanted duplicate. I don't want to have to do this every time I upload a photo to Instagram from my camera roll, so do you or any listeners that use Instagram for iOS, know how to avoid this occurring? Appreciate any advice.

apple-sell-last-quarter-update/
Leading up to the apple quarterly report - I want to go over some Predictions from the Anal-ists out there - Thanks as always goes to Philip Elmer Dewit at Fortune for curating all of this.
This time I will include Mac predictions - just because some of them are pretty high.
A year ago Apple sold 4.84 Million Macs. This time the average estimate is 5.58 Million Macs. With Daya Baran of StockChats at the top of the guessing tree with 5.98 Mil mac vs Collin Gillis of BGC partners with 5.1 Mil macs guessed.
Next up is the iPhone guesses - A year ago there were 51 Mil iPhones sold in the Last quarter of of 2013 - this time the average estimate is 66.5 Mil iPhones sold. With Kirk Burgess from the Braeburn group being the cherry on top with 71.50 Mil iPhones sold as his guess - and Uncle Gene Munster from Piper Jaffray with a guess of 61 Mil for his guess on the bottom side.
My guess is Apple sold how ever many they were able to make last quarter - with Apple saying that sales were constrained by supply - and they did not equal equilibrium until This month. Nope not going to give a number - as I never get it right - but If I was guessing I would have said 69.2 Mil sold. But I am not guessing.
For iPads sold - A year ago it was 26 Mil sold in that quarter. This year the average for last quarter is 21.5 Mil sold. With the top guess going to Peter I went to Colorado and bought some cool stuff man Misek from Jefferies
and Uncle Gene I went with him to Colorado Munster both with a guess of 25 Mil sold - to a low of 16.32 Mil from Aaron C Rakers with stifle Nicholaus. If I was guess I would say well under 20 mil - and go with 18.5 Mil for my guess - if I was guessing.
We shale see later on Tuesday - look for my blog post on Tuesday going over the numbers - but it might be later on Tuesday. Just depends on how the blizzard goes - and if I can get to the hospital to visit my mom. Which is why this episode was recorded using a different mic this week.

Hi Rob,
I was just reading some articles on your website about apple pay and it made me think about how simple it is, and it got me thinking about other applications for apple pay. I help my family out every summer with a lawn care business they own, and there are a lot of places that have electronic security gates. My curiosity is, I'm wondering if there would be a way to be able to use an apple pay like experience with a security gate instead of having to put in a pin every time. And do you think there would be a way to send out temporary passes to other visitors so you wouldn't have to give out a PIN number.
I love your show and I look forward to it every time,
Thanks for everything and I did subscribe to your KC start up podcast and it's a joy as well!
Regards,
Jason H
