Apple Byte - Apple's working on iris scanning for the 2018 iPhone (Apple Byte)

2016-07-28
what's going on Brian song here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple Apple's latest earnings were announced this week and we'll get to that but let's start off with you guessed it the latest iPhone rumors Evan blast has been active on his EV Leakes Twitter account and says the next iPhones retail release will be Friday September the 16th just a week and a half earlier than last year's 6s release you then followed that up with a confirmation that pre-orders will take place on Friday September the 9th now typically an iPhone announcement happens the same week as pre-orders and with Monday September the 5th be Labor Day we're looking at Tuesday September the 6th as the next Apple Keynote we're still not expecting much of a significant design change except for the loss of a headphone jack and the removal of antenna lines you can even take a sneak peek from Vietnamese website tint 8 with what's believed to be the first look at the Lightning 2 headphone jack dongle and it looks exactly what we'd expect it to look like but you all know the 10th anniversary iPhone is really the one to get everyone keeps on referring to this year's iPhone as the iPhone 7 but maybe not anymore website at full page de reports that Apple has already produced packaging with the iPhone 6s a name on them but there's been no photo evidence to support it yet but really the iPhone 6s E or the iPhone 6c hmm oh wait the iPhone 6 e no no no no the iPhone 6 say I see that's genius if that's what they call it I'm buying one for sure the iPhone sex-ay alright Apple announced they sold their one billionth iPhone this week one billion nine years in that's just straight-up impressive compare that to McDonald's who open their first restaurant in 1940 and sold their one billionth burger 23 years later in 1963 thanks Wikipedia now Congrats to Apple but it's not all that great after Apple reported their earnings for the third fiscal quarter or second calendar quarter of 2016 it was better than analysts expected but it still wasn't that pretty overall revenue dropped to fifteen percent to forty two point four from forty-nine point six billion in last year's quarter across the board iPhones were dropped to forty point four million compared to forty seven point five Mac sales were down four point two five million from four point eight and iPad sales keep declining from nine point nine five compared to ten point nine last year but you know me I still love my iPad pro now Tim Cook said he's very optimistic about iPhone sales this fall and part of that is just based on the massive install base that continues to grow and he's probably right but one thing he can't deny the latest IDC research data revealed samsung has shipped nearly twice as many smartphones as Apple this quarter was 77 million units compared to Apple's 40.4 Samsung was also the most popular smartphone in the quarter with a twenty two point four percent market share nearly doubling Apple's eleven point eight percent that's just a beat down now the latest iPhone 10th anniversary rumor comes to us from digit Times claiming Apple is working on an iPhone with iris scanning capabilities and could debut in 2018 say what that's two years after Samsung is expected to release the note 7 with iris scanning tech next week so basically apples giving us OLED screens two plus years later and is working on iris scanning two years later as well I know apples not always the first to market but two years later with two different signature tech features I am sorry that's a bad apple that one really hurt now apples plans for their electric car called project Titan hasn't gone as smoothly as they had hoped for and in a move to save the fledgling project Cupertino has brought former senior vice president of hardware engineering Bob Mansfield out of retirement to oversee the development of the car according to The Wall Street Journal Mansfield has remained with the company as a special project advisor but during his time at Apple and he was responsible for leading the hardware teams behind the MacBook Air the new iMac and the iPad now a separate report from the information reports the target introduction for the Apple car has now been moved out a year to 2021 alright let's do an Apple bite giveaway my friends from canoe have a lot of cool products but check out their latest product the air view now the air views curved mount can attach to the neck of a car seat it can rotate and supports most phones and tablets even as large as the iPad pro and you know I love that so it's perfect for a road trip and can even act as a stand on a table so I'm giving three of these away to you all and all you have to do is tell me what was my pick up line from last week's show simple enough and we'll announce the winners next week all right that's gonna do it for this show you can always email us at the Apple bidc Netcom or tweet me at brian tong thanks so much
