2015-11-12
what's up Brian song here with the Apple buy you know what we do it's everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and the iPad pro is here like I have it right here and it's glorious like look let me show you right here this is big as my face said it's that big all right now as per request by some of you I will not make out with it and even if I did it's so big now that's what she said yeah you wouldn't even be able to see it happen so I'm gonna spend a good amount of time with it in my review from someone who actually paid for it with their own money is coming in next week's show also I still need an extended quality time with the Apple pencil and the smart Keyboard but you might ask Brian you just bought the iPad pro you're right but see Apple decided to make the pencil and keyboard available a week later even if you pre-ordered instead of holding off and selling the iPad pro and the pencil and the smart Keyboard case at the same time the pencil is this iPads biggest differentiator it's the showcase feature and you can't even buy one on day one that's just stupid and you know what that's a bad apple and yes my voice just cracked but sure there's bad but the best thing about this iPad and no it's not the fact that the Apple pencil is waited to roll on its side with the word pencil facing up seriously now this guy delivers notebook level performance with its a 9 X chip that's even faster than the current 12-inch MacBook gretna with an Intel Core M dual processor it still falls short of 2015 Broadwell or skylake based machines but it's GPU performance is ridiculous while performing a 2015 15 inch retina MacBook Pro in addition to other Mac books and all the iPads this thing ain't the iPad pro this thing is the iPad Beast cook told The Telegraph the iPad pro is a replacement for a notebook or desktop for many many people they will start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else other than their phones come on Tim I'm sorry even the hardcore fanboys know you're drinking a little bit too much of the kool-aid now it still doesn't seem like this is a device that will be able to replace my own laptop but like I said I'll give it a go see apples even promising big things from this with a new TV ad in fact they're promising the universe with the iPad pro oh this is sweet tip of the day don't get stuck in someone's iPad all right since we're on the topic of the iPad and buying new goodies from the store if you had to guess what do you think the lowest rated product on Apple's online store is gonna give you a moment to think about it okay well it's actually two things you were correct if you said Apple's lightning the USB cable with over 1,000 one-star reviews all of my original ones were destroyed and the other apples MagSafe power adapter with over 1,000 one-star reviews of its own arguably the two least durable products from Cupertino that continuously fray are the rubber coating breaks or just stops working it's been this way for years and it's pretty clear all 1000 plus have you already through your own bad apples at them but I'll just pile on here all right Apple released their latest software updates for developers the second TV OS 9.2 beta for the Apple TV is out now and the third betas for iOS 9.2 and OS 10 point 11 point 2 Apple music is also now finally available on Android on the Google Play Store membership still cost $9.99 a month but this could be a nice addition for a mix Apple and Android hold with the $14.99 family plan believe it or not those families do exist and the Steve Jobs movie yes that one is now officially a complete bomb in box offices it's so bad that Universal has pulled the movie from over 2,000 screens projections from its debut weekend were between 15 and 19 million dollars and up to this point it just earned over 16 million now it unfortunately shared the same fate as the 80s cartoon reboot for Jem and the Holograms that was also pulled from over 2,000 screens by Universal and I never thought I'd have jam and Steve Jobs in the same story like ever and to end things on a good note you've got to check out this awesome customization from the people at color where if you ever wanted a retro 80s iPhone 6's check out this color job with the beige coloring fake air vents and that signature Apple rainbow logo now the phone's just sold out they made only 25 units for $15.99 a pop that's 1599 for you guys who think you're cool but only think you're cool because you have one and no one else thinks you're cool all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can send me your questions and comments to the Apple byte at cnn.com or tweet me at Brian Tong thanks so much for watching it will catch all next week for another bite of the Apple
