2014-07-17
what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for everything good bad inside the world of Apple now I first like to start off the show with an apology for all those rumors about LeBron going to Cleveland that were in fact true hello what up Dre hold up i gotta finish some talk to just like apple rumors have been over the past few years like every rumor you hear is actually true so I'm sorry in yes I get a bad apple onto the show and we have a heavy dose of iphone and I watch news if you're anxiously waiting to see a working iphone 6 you won't have to anymore well kind of thanks to my relatives iphone 6 clones are already appearing in China's mobile phone marketplace that are even using the rumored form factors for the iphone 6 and a full functioning iOS 7 even if it's a little laggy now the week oh I six features the 4.7 inch body and the goophone i6 will start shipping on August the first with a quad-core mediatek chipset 1 gig of ram and a 13-megapixel camera now I would just change the name because I don't like the idea of having a gue phone and if you want to get your iphone 6 case ahead of time spy in has listed multiple 4.7 and 5.5 inch cases on amazon get them while they're hot if you actually think they're going to fit the phone that hasn't come out yet also a report last week says Foxconn is preparing to enhance its assembly process with a new line of robots now each of the planned 100,000 robots are in the final testing phase and will cost around twenty to thirty thousand dollars and we'll be able to pump out an average of three hundred thousand smartphones now they'll probably be seen a lot of these this is a picture of the alleged new touch ID part for the iphone 6 that's below the current iphone touch ID sensor and if I was getting replaced by a robot I'd take as many pictures of leaked parts as I could so keep it up China all right according to a Chinese report from CN beta the big a will reportedly increase the speed of its a 8 chip to 2 gigahertz faster from the iPhone 5s is one point three gigahertz and the iPad Air's 1.7 gigahertz a7 processor the chip will keep the same 64-bit dual core architecture even if the competition is using quad core chips the reasoning behind this is because Apple uses a custom design chip optimized for iOS and the a7 more than delivered on performance compared to other phones all right onto the i watch watch Taiwan's economic Daily News says Apple is now planning to launch three versions of the iWatch in the third quarter of this year a 1.6 inch model and to 1.8 inch models with a high-end version of the larger size coming with a sapphire display now you remember that same one was unscratched bilang before many bending reports and rumors still point to an October announcement with a possible November release date and the 12.9 inch iPad pro rumor has been resurrected analyst ming-chi kuo says the big screen iPad will be made official this year as well I'll write a report by the washington post says the ipad may be the cause of unexplained rashes in children after the Pediatrics Medical Journal focused on an 11 year old boy who developed a rash that would not respond to conventional treatment his skin tested positive for nickel and the doctors traced it back to the iPad he had been using for the past six months and the iPad tested positive for nickel as well that's a bad apple now they put a smart case on his iPad and his rash subsided but that can explain this a big red rash that I have on my inner thigh it's it's actually right here like all in here now Apple responded saying their products met the strict standards and nickel allergies appear to be on the rise but I use my iPad against my bare skin all the time especially in my lap see maybe having a plastic iPhone isn't that bad and I'll take everything bad back that I said about the iphone 5c we sit in here Apple's supposed to be the leader for innovation and we're here talking about plastic and do you guys want another bad apple because I have one more this week's not app of the week goes to Kim Kardashian's Hollywood game so for the sake of report I tried this out for you and you create yourself you make like an avatar and Kim Kardashian becomes like you're much better-looking Yoda to guide you into becoming a star you can do the red carpet event and go to boutiques and clubs and flirt and you can be a model or a fashion designer or a list movie star and did I mention you can flirt now the game is free but it really sucks you in because you need these things called k stars that you can buy with your own money unless you want to wait around doing photo shoots and jobs to earn k stars and who wants to do that holy crap did i just say all that this game is horrible the only thing that's accurate here is that you have the same chance of being a big-time celebrity with no talent whatsoever except it's on your tablet and that's a big bad apple do not download this game because I just did it for you all right we'll be back next week with our e-mail episode in again you can send me your asking me anything questions to the apple byte at cnet com
