look what guys guys guys it's here that watch is here oh my god oh my god beautiful guys she's beautiful what are you doing huh are you looking your watch no Mitch um look just the Apple watch just came some I'm just checking out to Brandi look it's pretty cool it's a new watch so uh it's pretty cool dude yeah yeah freak no I'm just checking out the watch man it's like a river wash what's good brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good of bad inside the world of Apple and yes i have my Apple watching I've been using it for about a week now and I'll be honest I do like it more than I expected to but we breaking it all down more next week now there's lots of goodies this week thanks to apple releasing the new macbook pro 15-inch with the all-new force touch trackpad now a few things here to note these are still using the current Haswell chipset and not broad wheel so you won't really see a huge speed bump instead the biggest performance gains you'll see is flash storage that's two and a half times faster and an extra hour of battery life pricing still starts at 1999 now the new iMac 5k brings a fat price cut dropping from 2499 to 1999 but the entry-level model cpu speed drops from a three point five gigahertz to a 3.3 and the Apple touted fusion hard drive is replaced by a standard one terabyte drive now you'll see a dip in performance and there's no option to upgrade this unless you jump up to the 2299 model now that pretty much refreshes the entire macbook macbook air and pro lines and the imac line for 2015 and it's a safe bet we won't see them at WWDC but see that leaves the door completely open for the new apple TV set-top box and it definitely won't be the apple TV TV we started talking about back in 2012 according to a recent story by The Wall Street Journal Apple shelved the plans to make a TV set more than a year ago after its search for breakthrough features that would justify an apple-branded TV set Apple considered an ultra high-def display and adding sensor equipped cameras for viewers to make calls through their TV but none of it was compelling enough for them to enter the market against the big boys like Samsung and LG now according to combined reports Apple's now focus on a redesigned Apple TV set-top box with their trackpad remote their own online TV streaming service and App Store series support and hooks to home kit to act as the center for the home for people in the Apple ecosystem now internally the new Apple TV hardware is said to be codenamed Jay 34 and the operating system is known as monarch tied a new version of xcode also includes a new feature called TV for developers to build third-party Apple TV apps and really that's the product I'm looking forward to seeing the most at WWDC this year all right an Apple watch news Tim Cook confirmed to employees during a recent trip to apples China headquarters that the company is aiming to have the Apple watch available to purchase in Apple stores by June in multiple countries also the first update for the Apple watch was recently released watch 0 s 1 point 0 point 1 includes bug fixes for Siri and better measuring of activities like standing calculating calories and distance for different activities and workouts it also supports the new emojis found in iOS 8.3 and provides additional language support users can also really look forward to the next big update after 9to5 mac reports features like find my watch will allow a user to track its location and remotely wipe it if it's stolen there will also be an optional feature internally called smart lisheen that will let you know if you accidentally leave your watch behind since you can't go anywhere without your Apple watch all right onto the bites Apple took their merry time with this one in by Mary time I mean three years later they have finally released their new iphone dock with lightning connector for 39 bucks it's compatible with the iphone 5 5 s 6 and 6 plus and the fifth generation ipod touch which still sees no signs of getting a major update anytime soon and i know a lot of you are sad about that also reuters reports the US appeals court has partly reversed apple's 930 million dollar patent settlement with samsung and may reduce it to around 548 million they found that violating the patents deserve the penalty but making a phone that had the same general appearance as the iphone was not a violation and check this out universal studios released their first trailer for the Aaron Sorkin written biopic Steve Jobs and here's a peek from it the musicians play the instruments I play the orchestra I said Mirage and invented the future because artists lead and access for show of hands now you can tell it has a facebook the movie feel to it there's drama and tension just in this trailer and I'm definitely going to see it but it has not been confirmed if the entire movie was shot using an iphone all right now on the apple byte we got some great not-so-great mean and straight-up idiotic comments from you every episode on YouTube specifically youtube so we wanted to shine a light on our favorite feedback of the week and this week it goes out
