make this one count all right yeah well that will bite you know we always make it count high five right there that's how we do it well my brain it's my last show well for the day right no I'm leaving well we'll wait what's better than the Apple by Jay hey I found something else okay okay it's not you it's me I'll see you in the studio what oh hey there there you are beautiful what's good brian Tong here and welcome to the show for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple but first congratulations to the royal family and the birth of his royal highness prince george alexander louis of cambridge you know it's only a matter of time until they named a sandwich after him now on to the show and the big a better brings some real heat this fall because google just announced a flurry of products aimed directly at them including their second-generation Nexus 7 it brings a full 1080p HD display thinner and slimmer design faster processor NFC and Bluetooth 4.1 will hurt Apple even more is if they really bring an iPad Mini without a Retina display and just an updated design like the rumors have been recently suggesting so we'll just have to wait and see now google also unveiled their hdmi accessory called the chromecast that works like airplay and allows you to mirror content from a tablet smartphone or computer directly to your TV it includes youtube netflix streaming and will eventually add more apps like pandora but the biggest thing is that it works with both iOS and Android devices and it's only 35 bucks now that's a potential game-changer over time mine's on pre-order so this guy is definitely worth keeping your eye on read it Ryan yeah all right apple recently announced their fiscal third-quarter results for 2013 posting a stronger-than-expected 35.3 billion in revenue and a profit of six point nine billion dollars iphone sales reached over 31 million units compared to 26 million in the same quarter last year but ipad sales were down 14.6 million from 17 in the year-ago quarter yikes and Max were slightly down at 3.8 million from 4 million now there was no mention of ipod sales numbers because is becoming less relevant and you'll always get some good nuggets from earnings calls and when CEO Tim Cook was asked about iOS in the car he said having something in the automobile is very important if something people want he went on to say that Apple could do it in a unique way better than anyone else and that it was a key focus for the company and also in classic apple t's news Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said that Apple will be having a very busy fall and he said he'd leave it there and go into more detail in October so they better just get on it after what Google just dropped on them all right in the rumor mills this might not even be the iWatch but according to 9to5 mac apple has started building a team of medical center manufacturing and fitness experts indicating that the company is looking to move forward to building a fitness oriented sensor late in wearable computer now we've talked about the apple patents in previous shows four different wearable tech with multiple health sensors so think of it of Apple's own version of the Fitbit or jawbone or Nike FuelBand that we might see and in the nodeb rumor mills The Wall Street Journal reports that apple and its suppliers are testing larger screens for both the iPad and the iphone there have been rumors for an iPad as big as 12.9 inches or an iphone five point seven inches but we've heard this same story at least once a year in they should be doing this but what will really be bad as if their fall products are exactly the same size but you guys want to talk about bad if you head out to an apple store anytime soon don't do this support and that's bad all right in the quick bytes app release the fourth version of the developer preview for OS 10 Mavericks we're sending directions from your Maps app to your phone is working along with other performance tweaks and apple announced that the iTunes Store has eclipsed of 1 billion podcast subscriptions that's pretty amazing and I know people don't listen to every podcast and this is the Apple bite but I wanted to personally thank all of you who subscribe and show some love to our show and I just discovered this really cool product called tile and I wanted to share with you guys you can attach stick or drop this plastic tab like object called the tile on to any item you might lose like your keys or wallet it only works on iOS right now and it allows you to track and find your lost items now each tile costs 2495 and lasts about a year and you can have up to 10 tiles linked to one account this is pretty cool i order this for myself but I reached out to the tile team and they're giving away five tiles tough five of you the Apple biters all you have to do is tell me what you'd put your tile on what do you lose a lot and the more creative the better and i'll pick five winners and announce them
