- You know, I remember back when
the original iPod was released.
At the time, I was working at a Fatburger,
and a young woman said, "Excuse me,
"have you heard about the Apple iPod?"
And she said, "Well, it's this wonderful new product
"that houses hundreds of your favorite musical mp3 songs
"and lets you play them like they're the Discman."
And I thought to myself, "I need to tell everyone I know
"about this new Apple iPod
"because it's gonna change the world."
- That's such a good story.
That's such a good story, I love that story.
- I'm Wendy Wilderötter.
- And I'm Yarrot Benz.
- [Man] Garrett?
- Yarrot.
With a Y.
- Yarrot. - Yarrot.
I'm Yarrot Benz.
- And I'm Wendy Wilderouter.
- And together, we are
Apple Rumors. - Apple Rumors.
(sniffing)
- [Wendy] How do we describe what Apple Rumors is?
It is, without sounding too cocky--
- It's the premiere aggregator of news, rumors,
and reports of all Apple products.
What do you care about in this moment?
- What's on your mind, probably?
Well, lemme guess, one guess.
- Durr, it's the upcoming release of the Apple iPhone 8.
(rustling)
Wendy!
- What? - Listen to this.
An alleged leaked design schematic of the iPhone 8
has suggested that instead of placing
the touch ID sensor under the glass,
it could be located on the back of the iPhone,
but it is not yet clear if the schematic
is indicative of the final design,
as multiple prototypes are being tested.
- [Wendy] Wow!
- I mean, this is insane.
- Wow! - Are you kidding me?
What, this. - Wow!
- It's the 10 year anniversary
and they're trying to make a splash.
I mean, that much is obvious.
- A splash?!
These guys know what they're doing.
These guys know what they're doing!
Pretty hard to find a component of the iPhone 8
that we didn't write about.
- Yeah, or if we didn't write about it,
we aggregated to someone who did.
- Right, we aggregated and curated.
- Or linked to someone who had aggregated and, or curated.
You know, we know about the iPhone 8 first--
- We know about it first.
- We can't get, we don't have access to it.
- No, no, no, we can't get it first.
- No, no, no, no.
- We hear about it first.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- [Wendy] We can't get you any kind of discount.
- [Yarrot] No.
- [Wendy] Or any kind of special deal.
- [Yarrot] No.
- [Wendy] Or any advanced purchase.
- No.
- We don't know anyone who works at Apple.
- No.
- We don't work at Apple.
- No.
- But, we do find out about their products first.
- Yes.
It's most of the time.
- [Both] Half of the time.
- Some of the time.
And sometimes we think we found out about Apple products--
- [Wendy] And we're wrong.
- We were wrong.
(clanking)
(burping)
- You want another one?
- So.
(burping)
Excuse me, this Tuesday turned out to be pretty nuts.
Um, we got a major nugget of information.
Historically speaking, Apple has always put the Home button
on the front of their phones, but a Home button on the back?
That would be the opposite.
Um, now...
- [Wendy] (screaming)
- You know, if this ends up being an accurate
piece of information, this is gonna blow people's minds.
I mean, this is gonna be a massive, massive internet shaker.
So what I'm about to do is I'm gonna call my guy
in Shenzen, China
and sort of just see what he has to say
about the whole situation.
(dial tone)
(dialing)
(busy signal)
Did we pay the bill? Did we pay the phone bill?
Apple products changed the world.
Apple products make people's lives better.
That's a principle that you can bank on,
that's something that you can take to the bank.
- That is absolutely true. - Yeah.
- Apple products make people's lives better
and there's just no argument against that.
- [Yarret] Right.
- And that's something nobody can deny.
- [Yarret] Right.
- So it's nice to be in a field where
you're on the right side of things.
Because if we were, I don't know, selling drugs
or selling machine guns--
- Or our bodies.
- Or selling cars even - Or cars.
- Because that would be fraud. - [Yarret] Right.
- But I think that when you know what you're
selling to people is just
the paragon of achievement in so many arenas.
- [Yarret] Yeah.
- Technology, design, social.
- Social.
- Okay, thank you Wei. Thank you.
- Hey.
- What the hell happened to your head?
- I'm okay.
- Are you sure?
(sniffing)
- Smells like potatoes.
- I feel like maybe you're hurt.
(crying)
- I'm sleepy.
We gotta get into those potatoes baby!
Should I call 911 or are they just sick of us?
- [Man] How to you two reconcile the fact
that almost all Apple products are made
in Chinese factories under inhumane,
sweatshop-like conditions that have at times
led workers to commit suicide?
- You're smashing it.
- I'm smashing it and nothing's hap--
- Nothing is even happening.
- Look, I'm gonna take a wrench, I will show you.
Duh, this stuff-- - [Yarret] Wow. It does not...
- This one really...
Cracked a little bit.
- Is it not turning on?
- Yeah. Well, just experimenting now.
- Yeah.
- Um, (inaudible) got this. - Oh really?
- Yeah.
- Shit.
Wendy got a tip that there might be
a bevel-free display on the iPhone 8.
- Which, obviously, if there is
that would be a game changer.
- [Yarret] Mmm-hm
- To say the least.
The other side of things is, do we have the right
to just, you know, throw the world into chaos?
- Well, and I always come back to this but
on 9/11 they did show the footage
of the planes crashing into the buildings.
- I know, I know, you always use that ex...
It is such a good example. It's such a good example
because it really applies.
- It's a really good touchstone for this type of situation.
- We talk about 9/11 a lot.
- [Yarret] Morning Wendy.
- [Wendy] Morning. I think today is gonna be a
really good day for Apple rumors.
- Yah!
- Hey, maybe Susan will see it.
I mean, maybe Susan will see the website today.
- Mmm-hm.
- Do you wanna talk about Susan?
(cheering and applause)
- [Announcer] iPhone 8!
(cheering and applause)
iPhone 8! This is a huge step forward for iPhone.
And to tell you all about it--
- YES!
- God we're on the money!
I feel so good!
- It isn't even a button (breathes heavily)
It isn't even a button.
- [Announcer] The design is all new
- Well, we did it. We stepped up to the plate
at the end of the day and we did it.
- Celebration time.
- [Man] So, what did you do exactly?
(upbeat music)
