what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the premiere episode of the samsung bite you guys asked for it and you got it so believe it it's a show all about Samsung onto the stories and Samsung admits they are also getting into the lucrative SmartWatch market this year come on guys did you really believe that wait wait don't tell me you got april fooled buster alright let's get to the real show hey you guys let's just roll the intro what's good brian Tong here it's the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to the stories and the big news this week is that the iPhone 5 is officially coming to t-mobile on April to 12 now some of you might be saying big whoopee but there are a few differences with the actual phone and t-mobile's new no contract plans now this will be the first phone support t-mobile's HD voice the quick impressions from our cnet crew say the audio is noticeably fuller and more natural sounding with cleaner audio but you have to have to tmobile iPhones running on t-mobile to take advantage of the feature now LTE network performance speed was also very good the phone itself is a tweaked version of the a 1428 iphone 5 model produced for other GSM networks like AT&T and it supports advanced wireless services bands for t-mobile's network currently existing iphones cannot be updated to add AWS support now the other part of this announcement is t-mobile's contract free iphone plan that will no doubt save you money over a two-year period and beyond if you keep your phone that long so accessory makers AG did a break down to show the savings getting the carrier's as close as possible to similar plans and fees so check this out for an individual you'll get a nice chunk of savings of five hundred and eighty dollars over two years with t-mobile but if you're on a plan with multiple people for friends and family the savings isn't really there so it might only make sense to jump over to t-mobile if you have solid coverage where you of but it's a different way to try to bring back customers to the carrier in pink by slashing costs you done 0 / / yeah see that's how you fit the new Wolverine movie trailer into the apple byte now in iphone 5 news nowhere else dot f are reports that it has spotted new parts for the next iPhone including the home button for the iphone 5s that has a longer and thinner flex cable compared to the iphone 5 with a different location for connection now the rumored fingerprint sensing doesn't look like it's incorporated into this part if it is true and the other part is claimed to be the vibrator for the next iPhone attached to a flex cable that also appears to support the volume button and mute switch along the side it's also more compact than the 5s that's right it's gotten to the point where we're talking about i phone vibrators now multiple analysts are still chiming in that the next major product announcement will be in late June for the new iphone there's also a new claim from RBC Capital Markets that the new low-cost iPhone will not include a Retina display at all which contradicts what we've been hearing up to this point conclusion no one still really knows also digit times has a new claim from there unidentified supply chain sources that Apple is working on a 4k Ultra HD television set that would have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 they also claim like we've heard before that it will support voice and motion control with a targeted launch late this year but even more likely could be early next year now 4k TVs are starting around twenty thousand dollars right now so this would be a great purchase for the average income earning household and if you the Apple biters are feeling like the news has been kind of slow of late you're not the only one but we'll keep powering through this until things heat up in this summer just like that all right to the quick bite The Wall Street Journal reports Apple is acquired indoor location company Wi-Fi slam paying around 20 million dollars for the firm that's pocket change for them the two-year-old startup has developed ways for mobile apps to detect a user's location in a building using Wi-Fi signals and has benefits for indoor mapping or new types of retail and social networking apps so this may be one of the ways Apple hopes to beef up its location services and maps the big a is also in court in Shanghai China over lawsuit that alleges they copied components of series speech recognition shanghai-based GGN Network technology claims that Apple infringe on its patented siri-like software from 2004 called Zhao I Robot we'll see how things get settled but let's take a look and I see that spinning glow around the mic logo and those weather results look nothing like Siri yikes alright guys
