Tom Garrity [00:00:03] All right. Welcome to the Perception podcast. This is Tom Garrity with the Garrity Group Public Relations. Joining me today is Vice President Andie Mercer and an assistant account executive, Makayla Roberts. We have just finished recording the session on threads. And I said, you know what? Hold on, guys. We're going to talk I'm going to throw one topic out at you. And those are drumroll. They have no idea what I'm going to ask, although they'll know once I ask, What is the one iPhone feature that you enjoy using the most? And so with that, let me see. Everybody is still on mute. So I will. Go ahead. Oh, Andie's up. Andie, you'll be the first one in. 

Andie Mercer [00:00:47] I will be the first two to jump on this. It's not iPhone specific, but airdrop like the connectivity between my laptop and my phone and my watch. I absolutely love that. It makes just living so seamless. 

Tom Garrity [00:01:13] That's good airdrop. 

Makayla Roberts [00:01:15] Makayla Dang. And it put out a good one. I do not know how I can follow up from that one. No, just kidding. But I think. My specific one. Can it be an app within? Sure. 

Tom Garrity [00:01:33] Absolutely.

Makayla Roberts [00:01:34] My notes is I absolutely use notes for everything. I use it for lists. I use it for information. And the one feature that I absolutely love is that they now have it available to lock your notes. So if you have anything of importance, because me, I forget everything. If I do not have it written down so you can lock it with your face recognition. And that is a game changer for sure. 

Tom Garrity [00:02:02] Interesting. I and I didn't know what was going to be shared for me because I've shared this before. It is the do not disturb function in the personal kind of how you can set those up and stuff. There was a time that I did not like the Do not disturb because I was missing all these calls. Well, I realized then that I was on Do Not Disturb, and it's kind of like the school of hard knocks. That's the only way you know, that some of these features exist. The other item is, okay, I know I said one, but I'm going to say two. I have an iPhone 12 and an iPhone 13. And I have to say that when you look at them, they're somewhat similar. But the camera's on like the iPhone 12 is so much better. I mean, it is like night and day. So, you know, I would say that the 12 hour is hands. Above everything else as far as the camera goes. 

Andie Mercer [00:03:01] And I will add on to that, because my brothers are all Android users. I know. Wow. But in our group chats. Not to toot my own horn, but my photos are way better than theirs. The camera quality on iPhones is definitely something that I really enjoy. 

Tom Garrity [00:03:25] Yeah. And, you know, the chat feature, you know, I mean, let's face it, we all love the blue cloud. I mean, when I see that green cloud come up, I go, Oh. And yeah, I get a little kind of high, you know, snooty and stuff. I'm thinking, Oh, come on, people, get an iPhone. Your life will be so much better. I mean, I felt a feel sorry when I for people, when I see the green cloud in the text. 

Andie Mercer [00:03:50] And and the fact that I have to wear a green bubble group chat with my brothers reaction when I like someone's message, it sends the message that I like their message. It's not the same. 

Tom Garrity [00:04:06] Not the. 

Makayla Roberts [00:04:06] Worse. The worst of the green bubble chats is when it kicks you out of an existing group chat and ...
