In this segment of how wrong were they we have the following quote quote
“The iconic Apple iPhone will either not exist or occupy a very small niche satisfying the needs of committed Mac fans around five years from now.”
Eugene Kaspersky, Kaspersky Lab,
27 April 2010
Oh missed it by that much - It is safe to say in most industrial markets - the iPhone is a lot more than a niche and this is over 6 years from when Eugene mis read those tea leaves - Just Sayin.

new-in-apples-ios-10-beta-2/717528
Well last week Apple released iOS 10 Beta 2 to Devs and also released it to the public beta testers - which it calls Public beta 1 - but to keep things simple - we will only use the Dev version name - which is iOS 10 beta 2.
With the beta being now available to the public that means more and more of you out there testing this out.
I am right now - just testing it on my iPad Pro - and so far so good for me.
Per what actually changed / was added from Beta 1.
Well first there is of course bug fixes and optimization tweaks.
They released the App store for iMessage - where you can get sticker packs.
Right now it just looks to be sticker packs from Apple - but when the beta is gone and it is Gold Master in Later September - then there will be options available from 3rd parties.
—
Another item added - is the encouraging of organ donation. Apple actually had a press release on this point on July 5th - where they talked about teaming up with Donate Life America - where iPhone users quote will be able to sign up to be an organ, eye and tissue donor right from the Health app with the release of iOS 10. Through a simple sign up process, iPhone users can learn more and take action with just a few taps. All registrations submitted from iPhone are sent directly to the National Donate Life Registry managed by Donate Life America. The ability to quickly and easily become a nationally-registered donor enables people to carry their decision with them wherever they go. unquote.
If you are not registered as an organ donor - you should be - make sure you go through the process when you upgrade to iOS 10. And in the mean time - sign that spot on your drivers license.
——
Some additional tweaks / minor changes in beta 2 include
3D Touch for the flashlight now gives 3 different options - Bright light, medium light and low light. Previously they were labeled as Bright Intensity, medium intensity and low intensity. That engineer has been reprimanded.
In the Messages section of settings there is a new feature to allow you to send images in a lower quality mode.
——
Also found in Beta 2 - is that the live Broadcast feature mentioned at WWDC is now turned on. And with Swift Playgrounds - being the first apps to support that feature. There is an extended menu in Swift playgrounds Apps that offers a broadcast live option selecting that option lets you pick apps that allow broadcasting - like Twitch or Youtube Gaming.
HOWEVER this feature of live broadcasting only appears to be available for iOS devices with the 64 Bit processor - i.e. iPhone 5S and newer.
====
Autolock is now under display and brightness settings.
There are new wallpapers at the bottom of the list in Wallpaper settings.
You can access widgets from notification center on Home screen.
Airdrop in control center now displays “Receiving Off”
The Apple News App can now be hidden.
App store split view now actually works on the iPad.
AirPlay slash bluetooth headphones and speakers available in now playing for the Apple Music app.
There is the handwriting keyboard button on the iPad in the Messages app.
There is a new Bedtime wake up Sounds in the Clock App. open the clock app - go to the Bedtime tab - and click options in the upper left - and you will see - Wake up Sound.
——
One of the bigger updates for those running iOS 10 beta 2 on an iPhone is voice mail transcriptions. Nothing special to turn on - just if you have visual voicemail - which you most likely do - then transcriptions will start showing for you for new voicemail messages. If the bots had a hard time transcribing your message - they will flag the transcription with quote - Low confidence unquote right above the transcription.
This is a feature rolling its way out to users - so some users may not see it yet - but really most should be seeing it now. If you have an iPhone and are running iOS 10 beta 2 and received one of these transcriptions - how good was it? Was it close or hilariously wrong? give us a call - 206-666-6364 - that is 206-moon-dog and let us know.
And there are many many other tweaks and slight updates from Beta 1 to beta 2. Let me also now of you favorite or least favorite change from beta 1.

ios/5-hidden-ios-10-features-that-are-
instant-game-changers.html
As I mentioned previously there are a lot of articles going over that authors favorite new features in iOS 10.
This time we will look at an article in Mac world from Oscar Raymundo. He had 5 favorite new features.
1. Maps - Find my car - this is where Siri automatically flags where you car is when you get out of it. Or as I like to call it - The My Wife has a feature created just for her feature.
2. Control Center - Change flashlight intensity. This is for 3D touch iPhones right now - and we mentioned before - intensity is now replace by the word light when picking the brightness level.
3. Music keeps playing when Camera opens - this is for those with Live Photos. Previously if you had live photos enabled - when you opened the Photo app - it killed any audio you had playing.
4. Mail - Easy unsubscribe. Now when you get an email from a subscriber list - likely one you had no idea how you got on in the first place - the unsubscribe link is no longer buried at the bottom of the email - but place at the top. Where it is easy - much easier to tap and get out of.
5. Music now has optimize storage - which is really needed for all those poor souls that purchased a 16 what was I thinking GB iPhone. This feature looks at your available storage level and looks at your music usage and based on songs you have not listened to recently starts removing said music to free up space.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-thinks-
black-market-1-143000265.html
There has been in the past a lot made about how much the FBI paid to get that iPhone 5C unlocked. Most put it north of $1 Million dollars. So how do Apple feel about this - well surprisingly - they seem to like that high dollar amount.
This is what Ivan Krstic Head of Security engineering and architecture for Appel said about the $1 Million dollar plus price tag paid.
quote
As probably most of you know, there is a black market for software vulnerabilities, and once in a while some of the prices on the black market become known, Usually these prices are tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes $100,000. Those are prices for software like Microsoft Windows or Google's Android — but the prices for iPhone hacks are much, much higher. Take that with a grain of salt, but it's a fascinating number to think about," What you're seeing now is the result of a decade of our best work in protecting our users.”

Some Apple TV 4th gen news.
Apple has added Comedy Central, MTV and VH1 to the universal search feature.
In the US - that brings 35 different apps / services that universal search can search through.
If you are in Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UK - you can search through 2 - iTunes for Movies and Music and Netflix.
So a little bit of a gap there.

Hey Rob, finally got iOS 10 installed thanks. Not a whole lot of feedback yet, definitely looking forward to playing around with The Playgrounds app with my seven-year-old son though.
One bit of feedback I have so far though, the keyboard is totally buggy. If I switch to numbers it switches back to letters, if I switch to caps it cap locks, if I try to go back to lowercase it shifts. It is almost to the point where it's unusable. I'm recording this via Siri right now.
I know with betas come bugs so I'm not complaining, just giving you the heads up on my experience.
Love the show.

Hi Rob,
Quick note to you hoping I can get my review of iOS 10.0 Dev beta 2 to you before episode 398.
I myself can only vouch for my iPhone 6+ 64Gig. However, Peyton who by the way was not named after a certain football player but for the term Petabyte (long story) our 9 year old son reports a pleasant experience so far on his iPad Air 2. FYI, he would of given me a more detailed review of 10.0 beta 2 but is obsessed on getting Happy Chick working so he can play NES games that were out 20+ years before he was born.
Anyway, back to my review.
iOS 10.0 developer beta 2 absolutely rocks. So far it is running Velvety smooth. I have been using the update for the past 8 hours at writing this email and the experience has been flawless. No freeze ups, no what look like reboots or any of that stuff. Just a nice smooth uniformed performance.
That is it for me. If anything else comes up that may be worth bringing to the TII community's attention, I'll check back with you.
To sum up my email? Bring on the public beta!
Have a great week!
Shane Cashin
Hi Rob,
Tonight I updated my iPad Air2 to the iOS 10 Public Beta everything's working great.

Hi Rob,
I updated to iOS 10 beta and I was hoping that we can set default email apps without having to use the stock mail app. So I once I deleted the stock app, I went onto safari and clicked on an email link and received a pop up message that told me to re download (or restore) the stock mail app. Apple's walled garden is kind of frustrating.

One new post in the G+ community that went up since the last episode came from MYRON UECKER ON JULY 9TH who posted the following
quote
One nice feature of the iOS 10 music player is the downloads section that show only music on your device. Finally a way to play only what I downloaded and not my entire library!
unquote
To which -
DAVE T replied
quote
Don't I already see that on my iOS 9 phone?
unquote
AND THEN MYRON UECKER REPLIED:
QUOTE
There is the ability to only show music on this device in iOS 9. It has never worked properly for me. On my iPhone it simply grays out the music not on my phone and cycles through it anyway on random mode. I was never able to figure out how to randomly play only music on my device. In iOS 10 there really is a way to see only what is on your device and random mode works as expected.
UNQUOTE
Since the last episode there were also dozens and dozens of other new posts and comments in the Tii Google+ community - which is an Android fan bois free zone and spammer free zone. Yup it is the most civil Google+ community covering iOS.

Apples quarterly Conference call covering last quarter will be Tuesday July 26th at 4:00 PM CT.
I will do a blog post later than night - I am traveling that afternoon - so no episode that night or coverage right after. I will talk more next week on speculation on iPhone and iPad sales. But really this is not a very meaningful quarter - it is the next one that is where things might get interesting.

apple-phone/apple-lowers-iphone-trade-up-
credit-abandons-interest-free-financing.html
Hi Rob, FYI. Dr. John M
Seems Apple is lowering their iPhone trade up credit and also getting rid of the interest free financing.
Originally users could get up to $300 credit from their older smartphones - now it is reduced to $250 max credit.
Currently on the Apple site the estimated trade in value varies from $50 for an iPhone 4S to $225 for an iPhone 6 and $250 for an iPhone 6Plus.
They are not at this time accepting iPhone 6S or 6S plus for trade in because you know - there is nothing to trade up to at this time. Well at least not for the 6S Plus.
And previously Apple was offering interest free financing via Citizens bank - now apple is reverting that back to the Carriers to manage the finances - because you know nothing bad could ever come out letting the carriers manage it.
Long of the short - is if you thought you knew how apples trade in programmed worked - well kudos for being that person. But now things have changed.

36683517/spotify-accuses-apple-of-blocking-
app-and-using-store-as-weapon-
to-harm-competitors
Spotify got all in a lather over Apple rejecting their most recent updates to the Spotify app - and they accused apple of doing this for anti-competitive reasons.
Spotify general Counsel said Quote The move is causing grave harm, We cannot stand by as Apple uses the App Store approval process as a weapon to harm competitors. This latest episode raises serious concerns under both US and EU competition law. It continues a troubling pattern of behaviour by Apple to exclude and diminish the competitiveness of Spotify on iOS and as a rival to Apple Music, particularly when seen against the backdrop of Apple's previous anticompetitive conduct aimed at Spotify unquote
That was said in a letter they sent to Apples Lawyers - which Spotify legal counsel also you know accidentally - on purpose leaked to the press.
Well them is fighting words and actions - said Apple’s Lawyers - well maybe that’s not exactly what they said.
Actually What Bruce Sewell - Apple general Counsel said to Spotify was quote
We find it troubling that you are asking for exemptions to the rules we apply to all developers and are publicly resorting to rumors and half-truths about our service. We did not alter our behaviour or our rules when we introduced our own music streaming service or when Spotify became a competitor, Ironically, it is now Spotify that wants things to be different by asking for preferential treatment from Apple. I would be happy to facilitate an expeditious review and approval of your app as soon as you provide us with something that is compliant with the App Store's rules”

iphone-7-1960-mah-battery/
Rumor time - and back to the iPhone 7 - and it seems one of the reports is it will have a bigger battery.
The rumor / leak is the iPhone 7 battery would be 1,960 mAh battery vs the current 1,715 mAh battery in the iPhone 6S.
The A10 is also supposed to improve battery life - so to see a 20% increase in battery life or more for the iPhone 7 vs the iPhone 6S is not really a stretch.
Expect more and more of these part leak rumors to pop up over the next two months.
29:23
http://www.webposterz.com/2016/07/15/

more rumors around the iPhone 7 and 7 plus revolve around the name and Apple possibly going to iphone and iPhone Pro for the 4.7 and 5.5 inch version respectively.
There are also rumors of faster charging for the next gen iPhones.
29:45
http://appadvice.com/post/apples-
abandonment-of-the-audio-jack-is-long-
long-overdue/717355
And of course there is the on again / off again - but mostly on again rumor that the HeadPhone jack is going the way of Floppy disks and fire wire ports.
There is an article in 9 to 5 mac that talks about the average length of time Apple supports a type of port - and that average is 15 years. Currently the headphone jack has been supported as is by Apple for 32 years.
So maybe the on again rumor camp - that is the group saying yes Apple will kill the headphone jack - maybe the on again rumor camp is right after all.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/30/
technology/apple-patent-stop-phone-
recording/index.html
One of the things Apple does - and does a lot of is file patents - and they file patents on things they never plan to use or roll out - but just in case and because they can - they file patents - and some times people look at those patents and say well if Apple was granted the patent they are going to do this.
And this is one of those cases and one I say some strong negative tones around.
Apple was granted a patent where they could put in technology to disable a phones photo and video recording capabilities using an infrared signal.
The theory is that in theaters or concerts the people running the event could kill of the camera. That is the theory.
Here is why Apple will not implement that tech. Human Rights violations.
The Smartphone does a great job of recording these. And if Any one that ran a movie theater could get their hands on the tech to kill your camera - then clearly any repressive regime could get their hands on that tech to kill off cameras where ever their soldiers or thugs went. Especially at quote peaceful rallies unquote
IF you think Tim Cook did not think about that possibility you are greatly mistaken. There is no way Apple rolls out that tech - no way.

Hi Rob,
As the iPod Touch 5th gen is excluded from the forthcoming iOS update, will I still be able to purchase music and update the music app?
The Scribble feature on the new watchOS looks great, probably faster than conventional texting. Do you think this should be an option on iOS?
Thanks for all the hard work.
Best wishes,
Alf, Sheffield, England.
Hey Rob,
Last week a listener mentioned their headphone jack wasn't working on their iPad Pro 9.7" after installing iOS 10. He thought it might have something to do with the rumored replacement of the 3.5mm jack by the lightning port. The same thing happened to me on my iPad Pro 9.7" so I went looking for a solution. Most forum posts said to do a full reset, but I found one comment that said just to turn hey Siri off - and sure enough that worked for me.
So it seems like the non-working headphone jack in iOS 10 is really just a bug, not necessarily a sign of things to come.
Thanks again for the great show.
Aric Boyles
Hi Rob,
I'm hearing lots about maybe there will maybe there won't be a jack on new iPhone 7 for headphones. If so could you or the listeners recommend a good Bluetooth in ear set. Music is my main priority as opposed to calling.
I currently use the Jabra sport coach in ear headphones and they are just ok.
Thanks for all you do.

Hi Rob, I was recently given your contact information as someone who might be able to point me in the right direction. We are launching an exciting new product called FireFlies. FireFlies are completely wire-free earbuds similar to Earin, Bragi Dash, and others that have recently been announced… except unlike these other products, Fireflies do not cost $300. FireFlies are the first affordable wire-free earbuds and will be available for just $79 on Tuesday, July 5th. We have worked very hard for the last two years so that the average person can afford this awesome new technology! Here is a brief product overview: www.firefliesaudio.com
We need help spreading the word. I am hoping to discuss this product with the right writer at Today in iOS for audio electronics/gadgets. Please let me know if you can direct me to the right contact. Thanks! KC Corbett www.firefliesaudio.com
Hi KC,
Thanks for the heads up - I will feature this in our next episode - Ep 398 - which should be out this week.
Best of luck with the campaign.
What is the expected battery life from a full charge? All it says that I could find is:
" two tiny ear buds that can play stereo Bluetooth audio for hours”
Is that 1.1 hours or 2 hours or 4 hours or
Thanks
Rob W
Thanks for your support Rob!
The battery life of the earbuds is 3 hours. So, after listening to 3 hours of stereo audio, you can put the earbuds their carrying case and get 3 additional full charges on the go via the carrying case. Once you have listened for 12 hours total, you can recharge the carrying case.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide you with and thanks again!
Best,
KC
Thanks to KC for his reply. The project again is called - FireFlies - one word with flies - spelled - F L I E S
Luck it seems KC did not need - the project had a modest goal of $20,000 - it has raised over $270,000 - Way to Go KC.
The early bird special of $79 are all gone - the pricing is now $99 - and likely those will be gone soon - and then it will be $119.
What you get for $99 or $119 - is a set of the FireFlies ear buds, The Charging Pod - which is really nice. extra silicone tips and locking wings - plus a micro-USB cable for the Charging Pod. You do not plug into the earbuds - you plug into the charging pod - and that recharges the earbuds. That is a better way to do it then trying to get the connectors on the earbuds.
I guess the best thing to say - is don’t wait for apple to remove the head phone jack - get out in front of them and show you don’t need it anyway.
Search for FireFlies in the show notes for Ep 398.

An Apple Watch Beta Tip from Robert Spivack in out Google+ community.
Quote
WatchOS 3 beta tip - make a backup first
If you are installing WatchOS beta software (or will install later this month when the public betas start appearing), here's a quick tip:
Make a backup of your Apple Watch software/configuration first. Apple only provides an indirect way to backup your watch which many people many not be aware of.
Run the Watch configuration app on your iPhone, select your Apple Watch, unpair the watch, and then setup up the watch again restoring from backup (don't select "setup as new watch").
Unpairing your Apple watch generates a backup of the watch and configuration at that moment.
Please note that unpairing is a slow process and setting it up again by restoring from a backup is even slower, so allocate a lot of time (1 to 2 hours) to do this.
Leave both your Apple watch and your iPhone plugged-in and charging to avoid any power-related problems.
