what's up Brian song here and welcome to the apple byte for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and the big story this week is all iphone talk from our friend KGI Securities analyst ming-chi Kuo who recently broke down what he expects the next iPhone to have now he's had a pretty solid track record up to this point and if he's right this isn't just a minor upgrade this is a full overhaul now quote predicts the rumor to iphone 6s and 6s plus will bring a force touchscreen with more input methods and gesture control support it will also be equipped with an a 9 processor with two gigs of ram bring an improved 12 megapixel camera and add one microphone near the speaker for enhanced audio quality the two screen sizes will remain the same and there will be no four-inch option it will also have improved touch ID recognition and if dropped test issues can be resolved he says a limited number of the 6s plus will have sapphire screens he also says the bengay tissues will be improved with different kc materials and improved internals there will be a rose gold color option to match the current apple watch edition that everyone is buying i mean come on it's just flying off the shelves and it's expected for mass production to start in mid-august now there's no word on what Apple will call the new phone but come on guys this one's pretty easy for me call it the iphone success uh-huh yeah you like that you can thank me later Apple alright another Apple gadget we're keeping our eyes on is the ipad pro and we alluded to a force touch screen on the product last week now The Korea Times is reporting that Apple just requested silver nanowire material samples for thinner touch panels from LG display samsung display and japan display now this specific type of panel is really more flexible than current touch technology it's created from a mesh of silver wires that are about one nanometer in diameter the material is really clear and it doesn't require additional sensors to determine your touch location now really all of this adds up to support chatter that Apple will be bringing force touch to the next iPad now the first wave of space black leather loop and modern buckle Apple watches are on their way with the steel link getting shipped out as well recently now my bad boy is finally on its way but one of the reasons orders might be taking so long is because Apple is relying on single suppliers for watch parts instead of multiple sources according to UBS LG is the sole supplier for the OLED display tbk is the only company providing the touch sensor and lamination and then you have us I Shanghai responsible for the systems and package including the processor and memory now this could point to Apple be very tight right now because it's a brand new product launch but it also affects how many units they can pop out and if you have been noticing apple has released a batch of new Apple ads for television and you really have to appreciate how accurate they aren't depicting the Apple watch in real world situations in fact they're so accurate that we decided to identify all the Apple watches featured and there are us advertisement and you know it was hard to identify a couple of them but during the one-minute commercial we found two Apple watch sports 16 Apple watch stainless steel and two editions just like in real life and you know what that is bad apple on you Apple alright the big a was recently granted a patent they inherited from their primeSense acquisition that covers a 3d sensing device that works with distinct gestures to control items on a display or TV the pad covers working with music movies or games which would be a natural fit for iTunes and the App Store on a Mac or Apple TV now the in air gestures would allow you to select an item like a song track or activate a channel like Netflix to open a song or a movie without a remote control now Apple was also granted a patent for this mysterious light fixture that has yet to come out to market it no one really knows what this is could it be something they'll use that the new campus or at retail stores it's truly a mystery and the patent offers no information on the nature of the design so it's pretty light on details oh no he thin oh oh yes I did and I love covering the gadgets that are connected to the apple ecosystem so I had to show you this meet Lily the first point and shoot camera of drones well let's just call it a throw-in shoot boom my blown now this is just amazing stuff it's a self flying drone that pairs with Abby can you wear on your wrist and it follows you to capture footage with a 20 minute battery life you can set it to capture different types of shots and it will make the proper dramatic moves for those shots with still images at 12 megapixels 1080p video at 60 frames per second and 120 frames slo-mo at 720p now I'm in love with this thing it comes out in February of 2016 yes 2016 and there's an early bird price of 499 before June fifteenth but after that it jumps to 1,000 bucks not the cheapest but this is really why we love tech alright that's going to do for this we show you can email me at the apple byte at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong thanks for watching and we'll catch y'all next time for another bite of the Apple oh hold on one more thing let's go let's go Oh
