  Timing is everything, and Apple's new CEO's comments
• 0:03
  could not have come at a worse time. Apple may
• 0:18
  have taken its sweet time perfecting its brand
• 0:20
  new foldable, while other companies such as Samsung
• 0:24
  and Motorola have had almost a decade head start.
• 0:28
  However, that careful planning on Apple's part
• 0:31
  hasn't escaped the growing pains. Just days after
• 0:35
  the $2 ,000 iPhone Duo went on sale, apple has
• 0:40
  officially acknowledged reports of inner display
• 0:43
  cracking near the hinge it's an uncomfortable
• 0:46
  growing pain that just won't go away for a company
• 0:50
  that waited years to get the foldable right especially
• 0:54
  after apple's new ceos recently took a shot at
• 0:59
  earlier attempts by competition before we get
• 1:03
  to the snarky comment made by apple's new ceo
• 1:05
  apple admitted today that they're selling a two
• 1:09
  thousand dollar piece of apple confirmed the
• 1:13
  recent iphone duo woes by saying quote the response
• 1:17
  to iphone duo from early users has been incredibly
• 1:21
  positive and we are seeing exciting things from
• 1:25
  developers who are rapidly updating their apps
• 1:27
  to take advantage of its unique form factor we
• 1:32
  are aware of an issue impacting the inner display
• 1:35
  on a small number of iphone duo units if users
• 1:39
  experience issues with their iphone duo display
• 1:42
  they should contact apple care for a replacement
• 1:46
  end quote early iphone duo complaints buyers
• 1:51
  have encountered various issues from cracked
• 1:54
  displays Loose display housing around the bezel
• 1:58
  on the inner display and app compatibility and
• 2:03
  or optimization issues. I don't know if something's
• 2:06
  loose internally or what, but I noticed on the
• 2:09
  bottom edge over here when I'm typing and doing
• 2:11
  stuff, I keep hearing this popping sound. Definitely
• 2:25
  feels and sounds loose at the bottom. What makes
• 2:31
  Apple's situation ironic is that CEO John Ternus
• 2:36
  recently described early Samsung foldables as
• 2:39
  quote, kind of cheap and crappy in a Time Magazine
• 2:44
  interview last week. Apparently Samsung caught
• 2:48
  wind of this comment and is already poking fun
• 2:51
  at the iPhone Duo in an all new advertisement.
• 2:56
  The timing couldn't be more perfect for Samsung.
• 3:33
  It's almost like they planned it this way. Beyond
• 3:37
  acknowledging the display failures, apple also
• 3:40
  shared some encouraging news the company says
• 3:43
  early feedback on iphone duo has been overwhelmingly
• 3:46
  positive with developers quickly updating their
• 3:50
  apps to make better use of its foldable design
• 3:53
  that statement is ironic in itself because all
• 3:57
  i see online are apps being used on the duo that
• 4:01
  can't properly make use of this new form factor
• 4:04
  you know I'd be lying to you if I told you I
• 4:25
  wasn't getting a little bit of enjoyment out
• 4:28
  of this. Not for the user, of course, but on
• 4:32
  Apple's behalf. Apple is like that narcissistic
• 4:36
  in -law or co -worker that can never admit when
• 4:40
  they are wrong. Everything they produce and sell
• 4:44
  is perfect. It's the best thing since sliced
• 4:47
  bread. Apple tells its users what they will like.
• 4:52
  It's their way. or the highway now apple does
• 4:56
  hang its hat on premium quality hardware apple
• 5:01
  also takes pride in their premium graphical user
• 5:04
  interface ios so premium they like to call it
• 5:09
  liquid glass or i like to call it liquid ass
• 5:13
  and that's exactly what's going on with this
• 5:16
  new iphone duo with what appears to be hardware
• 5:25
  and software issues. I mean, what the hell were
• 5:28
  they working on for the last five years behind
• 5:30
  the scenes? It sure as hell wasn't the iPhone
• 5:33
  Duo. I tell you what, I know exactly why Tim
• 5:38
  Cook just quit days before the launch of the
• 5:41
  iPhone Duo. Tim Cook asked his team, what's the
• 5:46
  next launch? They handed him an unreleased iPhone
• 5:49
  Duo to try out over the weekend. And by Monday
• 5:53
  morning, he put in his two -week notice. He said,
• 5:56
  Termas, I quit. This one's on you. We'll have
• 6:00
  to see how this plays out over time. If you are
• 6:04
  an Apple fanboy, just sit down. Accept your defeat.
• 6:08
  If a thousand or even a hundred duos are affected,
• 6:12
  those devices are spread out all over social
• 6:15
  media. The smear campaign has already begun.
• 6:20
  Everyone and their mother. have been waiting
• 6:22
  for this time to remind Apple and its fanboys
• 6:26
  that nobody is perfect, not even you.
