2015-02-26
what's up Brian song here and welcome to the apple pie for everything you want to know good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to the show Annapolis sent out its official invite for its next event on marks ninth in San Francisco at ten a.m. pacific there's still a lot more we don't know about the Apple watch that's expected to release in April but the spring forward event could also see the launch of the 12 inch retina macbook air or refreshes of the macbook air line and possibly some news about their beats music service will find out soon but if you look closely at the invite I think they might be releasing something with colorful leaves Tim Cook is on a global tour right now making stops in Germany and Israel and according to French website I Jen cook told an employee at the berlin apple store that he wears his Apple watch all the time even in the shower now remember when he said this it's a new innovative intimate way to communicate directly from your wrist yeah he wasn't kidding now Apple has already claimed the s1 chip inside the watch is completely encapsulated in resin to protect it from the elements so look for shower proof to be added as one of the key bullet points sometime soon cook also still said he charges the Apple watch every night now a lot of people are still obsessed with how expensive the watch might be and if Apple is smart they shouldn't reveal anything until the absolute last moment now that has becomes such a big deal Jared fireballs John Gruber recently asked his Apple contacts if the five thousand dollar mark was too high they all responded with a confident no so now he's flirting with the idea of a ten-thousand-dollar watch and if you add on a specific Band or bracelet he says it could hit even 20 grand all this for a first gen watch that will last about a year and a half before the next gen and if there's any watch Cooper toodles to be paying attention to it's the newest pebble time watch with a color e-ink screen and a battery that will last roughly seven days now they just put it up on Kickstarter and it will you tell for 199 and in case you're wondering in two days it's already past the nine million dollar mark at the time of this shoot I'll write in Apple pay news if everything goes to plan our European Apple biters will be able to use this service this year after visa announced its payment terminals will support apple pays tokenization system by mid-april there are still a lot of steps that need to happen apple doesn't really seem to be in a hurry and during cook's tour he said the company's goal is to have it running by the end of the year in better news Apple is planned to launch Apple pay for my friends north of the border in canada as soon as March alright apple recently released the latest OS 10 10-point 10.3 pre-release and the newest beta for iOS 8.3 this week OS 10 gets an update to the Photos app while the iOS beta gets a new version for the apple TV OS as well but the biggest update is the addition of new emojis see Apple delivered on their promise and is finally bringing racially diverse character sets which lets you pick from various skin tones on several different characters finally a darker skinned Chinese guy can be represented by emojis and I personally thank you for that now 32 new country flags are also part of it and Apple has changed the watch emoji to duh the Apple watch the phone is now an iphone 6 and the computer is an imac now also people were wondering what's up with the default super bright yellow faces asian people aren't actually that yellow but it actually has to do with the standards created by the Unicode consortium for how different characters appear on different platforms ultimately it's up to the specific platform to choose the picture so that default Lego yellow color is the same as a default yellow for a smiley so people you don't have to get all crazy about it but we finally have diverse emojis everything is I all right in the quick bites bloomberg reports that apple is aiming to start their electric car production sometime in 2020 and pushing employees to have it ready to compete with similar cars by Tesla and GM coming out in 2017 again Apple could delay or completely kill this project but if they need any motivation the best quote this week comes from mercedes-benz chairman dieter zetsche Jenna he says if there were a rumor that Mercedes or Daimler plans to start building smartphones then they being Apple would not be sleepless at night and the same applies to me you know what we will check back and see how he feels in five years and this friday the movie profe is featuring Will Smith and Margot Robbie will be one of the first Hollywood films edited entirely using final cut pro x the director said FCPX save them time by automatically organizing their footage while edits were done on location with a macbook pro now the entire project involves 61 days of shooting 145 hours of footage 11 months of editing with 117 scenes being edited at full resolution alright that's gonna do it for this week I'll be out of town next week but if you guys and gals are on your best behavior I'll pump out a show for you next time you can always email us at the apple by de cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong thanks so much for watching it will catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple you
