what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the apple byte for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple now we're just a couple weeks out from apple's keynote after they officially confirmed the event will take place on sep tember 9th in San Francisco with the invitation featuring the quote hey Siri give us a hint so if you try it on your phone all really serious doing is taunting us and talkin that ish hey Siri give me a hint the only hint i can give you right now is a hint of linemen that there's a big announcement on sep tember 9th look deep within yourself and you will find the answer especially on sep tember ninth well I hear there's something big happening on September ninth can you get a hint no you may however get it would want and you know what maybe they'll surprise us but we pretty much know what to expect with all the iphone 6s least we've seen including this new one for mac rumors now it shows the display booting to the gear icon and internal logic board as well i gotta say those black gloves and the shaky camerawork do give it a more top secret feel and look all right now let's just make sure they get all the kinks figured out with that especially after Apple discovered that a limited number of iPhone 6 plus phones sold between September 2014 to January 2015 have a defect that causes photos taken with the rear isight camera to come out blurry so if you thought this whole time it was just you that had bad eyesight it wasn't you it was actually a bad eyesight camera that ladies and gentlemen I'll be here all show now Apple will replace your phone based on its serial number if you qualify and you can go to their support page to handle that we also still expect the new Apple TV and now would be a good time to do it after data collected by research firm parks associates found the Apple TV was the fourth most popular streaming device in the US and 2014 Apple didn't even get the bronze medal y'all they trailed the leader in the space Roku then Google's chromecast and the Amazon fire TV and fire TV stick so now would probably be a good time for their new refreshed UI app store siri based redesigned touch control next gen apple TV i'll write a new check the Telegraph reports that a British company called intelligent energy has built an iphone 6 prototype with a built-in cell that supports hydrogen cartridges and can deliver up to a week's worth of battery is this too good to be true now the patented system will be deployed in cell towers across India in a few weeks and it produces electricity from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen now small amounts of water and heat are the result of the reaction and the only difference in the iphone 6 prototype our rear vents that allow imperceptible amounts of water vapor to escape the report says the company is believed to be working with apple as well and i love everything about this story so i get this tech here ASAP ok patently Apple has also found a new patent application from the Bay gay that reveals they're working on a next-generation voice over LTE headset that works with the iphone but even better the renderings show it might also bring cellular voice capabilities to the iPad other tablets have had this before and currently the iPad can only take calls if it's on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone this headset will make it completely independent you can see the patent image where item 220 is described as either a cell phone smartphone PDA tablet computer or laptop computer but in that picture it's an iPad and finally in the Department of not so subtle things to do it was revealed that Swiss watchmaker swatch filed for two trademarks in november of last year the trademarks one more thing popularized by steve jobs at apple keynotes and swatch one more thing a saying no one has ever used in their entire life trademarking that phrase alone deserves a bad apple now the trademark ice watch that swatches own for years reportedly prevented apple from using the name iWatch initially and the Swiss company also holds the exclusive rights to using liquid metal and watches from an agreement with liquid metal technologies in 2011 so clearly the beef is real and let's be honest watch you're acting like a child and speaking of children it's time to bring back the feedback of the week and all of you Apple biters were in rare form after last week's episode Brian Kendrick says Brian deserves a bad apple for being a d for a boss hey Brian it's okay to spell out the word dark it's not racist more feedback nick is kind of cute just saying I n44 yeah i'll make sure i relay the message for you to him I in and my favorite scene it is the king of reuploads I know that can be true but we have to make sure it's right okay but nothing nothing beats this submission from yasser king on twitter who took our skit to the next level and added a little WWE flavor to it look at this amazing for realz an RKO now that was awesome all right
