what's happening brian Tong here and welcome to the apple byte it's everything inside the world of Apple like the creamy filling of a Twinkie in the back in case you didn't know alright let's get to the show and a new report from frost & sullivan that says apple has claimed the majority of the streaming device market share with the Apple TV at fifty-six percent these are dedicated streaming boxes so you won't find the ps3 or xbox but Roku came in second at 21.5 percent and Tebow came in third at six point five percent the others were made up of familiar names like the boxee TV and logitech revue so not too bad for a hobby device that has added more channels like HBO go and watch ESPN but everyone has continued to ask what will make the apple TV TV special and why should we even care well according to tech journalist Jessica lessin she reports that apple has been negotiating with cable companies and TV networks to offer a premium version of the Apple TV service that would allow you to skip ads and would compensate the networks for the lost revenue there are no specifics for how the service would work or how much it would cost but Apple has been talking about how they want to make the current TV experience better and this is a pretty compelling option now I think the big question comes down to how much would you be willing to pay a month on top of your current bills for a service like this is it thirty forty fifty dollars a month or more let us know your price and your thoughts send them to the apple bite at cnet com and we'll talk about it next week now an iPhone use according to all things D and jefferies analyst Peter Misek production ramp-up of the iphone 5s should begin around the end of this month music says that Apple started a small batch production of the iphone 5s last month and is ready to ramp up now didja x is also reporting that the next-gen iphone may see constrained supplies at launch due to poor yield rates of the fingerprint recognition chip designed by authentic that will be included in the phone they claim it actually delayed the iPhones ramp up for production to late July because of issues with producing the fingerprint sensor now we're still expecting to see the next iPhone one in the fall around early September now and some potentially sobering news for all you ipad mini fans multiple reports are now saying that Apple will be releasing a thinner and lighter iPad Mini this year but brace yourself the retina iPad Mini will see an almost bezel free design but it's expected to launch in early 2014 I know how you feel first world problems now digit times also reports that Apple's 5th gen ipad is on its way with a thinner and lighter design and the supply chain is starting small-scale production on the new full-size iPad this month all right onto the quick bites Apple and Samsung have had their beef but the korea economic daily reports Apple and Samsung have signed a deal for the two companies to work together on future a-series chips for iOS devices specifically covering a 9 chips based on the 14 nanometer process starting in 2015 and more frenemies working together Microsoft has released a native Outlook Web App mail application for iOS devices now owa for iphone and ipad are free but in order to use the app you'll need to subscribe to their office 365 service and have the latest update of exchange online so there's a lot of pieces that need to be in place and music creators apple has released a brand new version of logic dubbed get it Logic Pro X for 199 now one of the new features is the instrument track called drummer that automatically plays along with your song with a wide variety of drumming styles and techniques now the logic remote companion app it's on the iPad and it allows to control and play with logic from your iPad well that's also free and finally in a new segment that you know will do once in a while and I really decided to make it up it's our Apple biter of the month I know so check it out meet Stephanie she's from Maryland and according to her dad burned she has a crush on me and they watched the apple bite together for different reasons yeah sure you do verne anyways I love the pic thanks so much for watching in if any of you guys want to send in a picture to potentially be the biter of the month you can send it in to us at the apple bite at cnet com or just tweet me at brian Tong and if you make me giggle will feature you on the show alright that's gonna do it for this week i'm off to comic-con i'm brian Tong thanks for watching i will catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple
