what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple plus a special giveaway so let's get to the show and it's not the biggest news week with a few updates on all the latest rumor products but a report from the china x claims that taiwan-based touch panel manufacturer tpk will be making flexible displays for the iWatch with mass production expected in the second half of the year the report says the iWatch will come with a flexible AMOLED display and 3d protective glass and will use silver nanowire touchscreen technology that's developed by tpk now they aren't the most reputable source but that's the latest in the iWatch world more reports continue to piggyback on the belief that will see two different sized iPhones but the latest from taiwan's economic daily news claims that only the larger of the two iphones will use the sapphire glass and the rumored smaller but still larger than the original iphone that 4.7 inch model will continue to use corning's gorilla glass like the iphone 5s and 5c then the economic Daily News decided to get a little cray cray and claims that Apple will not name the larger 5.5 inch plus device and iPhone because Apple is treating it like an experimental project and will not use the iPhone name now that makes me lean towards them naming it the iPad Mini Mini but come on I doubt they have any idea about the way app will be marketing these rumored devices also a report from fud Zilla says Apple will still stick to keeping their next a series processor and Qualcomm's LTE chips separate for the next round of iOS devices integrating the two typically helps optimize battery life but it looks like that will be another generation away KGI securities also released a report that indicates Apple will keep most of their products with the same processor except for the next iPhone which historically has taken the lead when it comes to new processors in their product line now no surprise there and the rumored full-size iPad would also be a candidate for a new a8 chip and more news about the Apple TV AppleInsider has done some digging and has found that Apple has posted several new positions for the Apple TV team related to expanding content on its set-top box new positions for an apple TV content part her engineer and an apple TV software QA engineer showed both roles hint at expanded third-party support and we've already talked about reports pointing to a new Apple TV possibly by April this year all right it's always cool to check out some of the patents Apple has been working on in recently they've been granted what's described as a sports monitoring system for headphones earbuds and headsets now the key to this invention would be sensors embedded into one or more areas of the headset or earbuds by coming into contact with your skin the sensors would potentially be able to measure your heart rate temperature perspiration and other physical stats it's basically a health monitoring system for headsets it looks really cool but unfortunately they won't be able to use the name heart beats by dre all right onto the quick bites Apple's bringing the itunes festival to America for the first time at South by Southwest Coldplay imagine dragons and pitbull will be some of the future performers but no word if Elvis will be performing does the Fox say okay I'm done and a cool story from seen its own daniel Terdiman where the TV show diggers found the time capsule from the aspen international design conference in 1983 now at the conference jobs gave a talk and predicted things like the ipad wireless networking and even the App Store long before they became a reality now the time capsule included the Lisa Mouse Steve Jobs used it during his talk along with other miscellaneous items that were thrown in it and it was dubbed the Steve Jobs time capsule so check out this clip so I look in the tube there's a little plastic bag in there I retune I grabbed it look I mean I kind of let go of it cuz I I panicked like it was like a hot stove now the time capsule had a strong moldy stench but even Steve knew that that thing would be priceless and put it in a baggie he's smart now if you want to watch the entire episode it will air on februari the 25th on the national geographic channel all right we've got another amazing giveaway for you from our friends
