Apple Byte - New Apple Watch specs revealed from the WatchKit Dev Tools

2014-11-19
what's up Brian song here and welcome to the Apple by for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and our winners for the canoe stance giveaway but first let's jump into the show and apples released the latest iOS 8.2 beta to developers including the watchkit development tools that will enable them to start trading apps and software for the Apple watch that we expect to see in spring 2015 now new information from the watchkit SDK reveals the two different screen resolutions for the two Apple watches the smaller thirty eight millimeter Apple watch has a resolution of 272 by 340 while the larger 42 millimeter watch has a resolution of 3 12 x 3 90 Apple refers to the watch display as retina and instructs developers to use image assets at twice the resolution now in the notes apple says the Apple watch aims to blur the boundaries between physical object and software through the digital crown navigation to the taptic engine for soda alerts and force touch a new touch control system thoughtful design should contribute to this experience of hardware and software feeling indistinguishable man I have no idea who could have written that up like really I can't put my finger on it alright one other note currently after watched third-party apps require a connected phone to allow them to function and developers will need to be mindful of that we're fully native apps that will be able to run on their own on the apple watch will come later in 2015 so logically an Apple watch that requires no iPhone whatsoever comes in 2016 the smartest time to buy one alright display may recently published their latest results of their display color accuracy shootout to find the best mobile displays amongst phones and tablets now even though the ipad air 2 finished near the top in a couple of categories the iphone 6 plus and the air too finished fifth and sixth place overall and display color accuracy with the galaxy note for taking the top honors and surface pro 3 coming in second Amazons fire HDX 8.9 inch also performed better in these tests so if you're super defensive about your iPhone you can tell people in the YouTube comments below that display color accuracy doesn't mean everything alright in tech down the road that will make your phones only better sony which supplies apple with their camera components debut their new 21 megapixel image sensor with an ultra fast autofocus that also takes 4k HDR video you can even see a comparison of image quality here from the previous sensor the new sensor is called the Exmor RS IM x230 its stack design cuts down on size which might help remove that camera nipple on your iphone 6 and 6 plus but i know some people like nipples and it has 192 autofocus points which can track faster moving subjects instantaneously so my prediction get ready for this is that a future iphone will have a 21 megapixel camera uh-huh you heard it here first on the apple bike alright Apple announced last week to its accessory partners in their made for iphone and ipad programs that new lightning connectors and specs will be available for them to build new accessories that includes apple's proprietary connection previously reserved for its own iOS devices accessories that still only have a USB port to charge them can now use a lightning port in the future or using a lightning cable as a headphone cable is another option that could be implemented by accessory companies in future designs alright everybody now this next story could get a little salty but a UK market research firm called yougov collected all their research data from a sample size of around 10,000 people to create general profiles for a typical Samsung fan and a typical apple fan in the UK and their findings well a typical Samsung fan is a 40 to 59 year old male describes himself as polite but is on occasion disinterested gucci is this top clothing brand and he drives a Vauxhall now compare that to a typical apple fan that is female 25 to 39 years old describes herself as clever but on occasion is troll freaky Hollister company is her top clothing brand and she drives a BMW yeah I'd say that's pretty accurate but if you sift through the data there is one thing and one thing only that both sides agree on the pet that both Apple and Samsung fans are most likely to have is a fish who do all right let's announce our winners of the canoe stance mini tripod give away from last week the correct response for what did you see when I gave you a hug is to teddy bears so how did our winners feel about it on Twitter
