Now I have to come up with a use for http://t.co/tFYN9A7xWY which I wasn't prepped for ;) CC: @iOhYesPodcast\n\n\u2014 Nolan O'Brien (@NolanOBrien) September 5, 2014\n\n\nSend us your shoutouts:\xa0@iohyespodcast\n\nThe Discussion\n\n\n\n iPhone 6 (4.7\u201d) and iPhone 6 Plus (5.5\u201d)\n\n[caption id="" align="alignright" width="190"] JNCO Jeans[/caption]\n\n Retina HD\n\n 326ppi @ 1334x750 (compare to iPhone 5: 1136x640, same ppi)\n 401ppi @ 1920x1080\n Apps that have not been updated for adaptive layout are scaled up\n\n\n Dual domain pixels - accurate colors at wider angles of view\n Plus has 185% more pixels than 5s\n\n Does the Plus have the GPU horsepower to drive this, or are we in the same situation as the first Retina iPad?\n We\u2019re probably in good shape: the 5s has oodles of GPU to spare, and the A8 has up to 50% greater performance, according to Apple.\n Screen not all that different from an iPad Air, which had an A7 in it\n Relevant: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8514/analyzing-apples-a8-soc-gx6650-more\n\n\n Very thin, but at the cost of a protruding camera. \xa0They both have a bump?\n What do you get with a ridiculously large phone?\n\n Need a pair of JNCO Jeans to fit the 6 Plus in your pocket\n Plus leverages adaptive layout to provide "regular" size-class content when in landscape. (Referred to as 2-up in the keynote)\n Expanded keyboard in landscape: Cut, copy, paste, etc\n Springboard supports landscape\n Sleep/wake button moves to the side\n Reachability slides the top of the screen down so you can reach it.\n\n Is this a necessary concession of ridiculous phone size?\n Will we see the iPad adopt this?\n\n\n\n\n A8 SoC\n\n 2 billion transistors (up from 1 billion)\n 20-nanometer process\n 13% smaller than A7\n Looks like the performance gain curve may be beginning to flatten (but we need more data)\n \u2026but maybe it\u2019s a conscious trade-off to gain 50% greater energy efficiency??\n\n\n Obligatory game demo\n\n Super Evil Megacorp - Vainglory\n Was that the singer from Tears for Fears playing the demo?\n\n\n M8 Motion Coprocessor\n\n Adds a barometer for relative elevation\n Can estimate distance\n\n\n Carrier Aggregation for faster LTE\n Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) - Simultaneous voice and data\n WiFi Calling (T-Mobile & EE for now)\n Better camera (Surprise!!!!) and better processing\n\n Pretty significant improvements. Too many to enumerate\n Plus supports optical image stabilization\n\n\n\n\n Apple Pay\n\n $12B/year in cc/debit transactions in the U.S.\n Contrived video showing how difficult using a card is\n\n She even fumbled while removing her card from its sleeve\n Is paying with a card really so inconvenient\n\n\n Followed by a video showing how easy Apple Pay is\n \u201cSecure Element\u201d chip stores device-specific payment info on the device\n\n Credit card number is not stored\n\n\n Single-use payment numbers and dynamic security codes for each transaction!\n\n Darryl has wanted this to be the standard for quite a while (Tweets from 2011)\n\n\n Apple does not collect transaction details\n Developer APIs available via PassKit (Getting started with Apple Pay PDF)\n Nick Arnott (@noir): 9/10/14, 7:11 AM 220,000 locations sounds like a lot until you realize that\u2019s out of roughly 14.26 million credit card terminals in the US. Long way to go.\n Very clear write-up by Nick Arnott on iMore: Apple Pay and security: What you need to know\n\n\n Apple Watch (One more thing\u2026)\n\n Starts at $350, iPhone required - This is definitely an accessory item\n Flexible Retina display - single-crystal-thick sapphire\n\n Touch- and force-sensitive\n\n\n Gyroscope and accelerometer built in, but location relies on phone, so you\u2019ll still need to bring it with you when you exercise\n Really interesting input/navigation\n \u201cGlances\u201d mini-widgets\n LOLling at the zoomed-out photo collection view\n Was Yo on to something? Apple seems to think so, given their \u201ccommunicate with taps\u201d feature\n Is this watch thin enough?\n Apple has always limited its product lines to simplify purchase decisions. Is this lineup too broad?\n Why the emphasis on +/- 50ms accuracy?\n WatchKit (No link available yet)\n\n Actionable notifications\n Apps\n Glances\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPicks\n\n\nChad (@jazzychad)\n\n\n\n Points - The Game\n\n\n\nDarryl (@dh_thomas)\n\n\n\n Hopper\nHopper is a reverse engineering tool for OS X and Linux, that lets you disassemble, decompile and debug your 32/64bits Intel Mac, Linux, Windows and iOS executables.\n Static Analysis: Following Along at Home with Hopper\u2019s Decompiler Feature by Melissa Elliott (@0xabad1dea),\xa0A bit out-of-date, but very useful walk-through of Hopper\n\n\n\n\xa0Jason\xa0(@jak)\n\n\n\n Product Hunt on iOS\n\n\n\nJohn\xa0(@johnsextro)\n\n\n\n Flappy Bird recreated in Swift from FullStackEDU.com they claim that they will be offering a course in game programming with Swift in the near future.\n\n\n\nAlternative show title suggestions\n\n\n\n Bigger Than a Pop Tart\n You\u2019ve got your damn phablet now.
