what's happened in brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple by for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get to it and Apple still hasn't released a new product in 2014 which points to a bonkers second half of the year but while we wait new code appearing in iOS 7.1 points to Apple working on Cirie voice input on the next Apple TV now if you look at this image from nine to five Mac assistant is Apple's internal name for Siri and the number three represents the Apple TV family where one m2r for the iphone ipod touch and ipad families now this new info suggests voice input and feedback will most likely be included in the next Apple TV model but it also looks like Syria may not be coming to the current gen apple tvs also Amazons fire TV has voice search that works pretty nicely an apple would potentially be the second streaming box with this functionality but I'm pretty sure a gary busey isn't at the top of their list for celebrity reps if you're like me you're like talking to things that's just disturbing and a quick Apple TV update more content has been added with the addition of A&E the history channel and lifetime you'll still need to be a cable subscriber but you'll be able to catch up on episodes you've missed from shows like Dance Moms or let's see there's wife swap or devious maids or mission makeover but um I've never actually watched any of those great shows all right the iWatch is another toy plenty of you are waiting to see I may not want it right now but I'm really curious the big a has registered trademarks on the iWatch name in several countries but now macrumors has found that the fruit company has been bolstering its trademark on the actual name Apple to also cover jewelry and watches trademarks are broken into 45 different classes watches and jewelry are part of class 14 that covers precious metals and stones and in general covers jewelry clocks and watches now Apple wants to bring that bling but gamma goes I bling stan is not one of those products in fact I actually searched for I bling just to see if anything existing yeah it does that thing is so ugly and it's just begging for a bad apple and if you own one of those I'm blocking you from the show alright apple announced their earnings this week for the first calendar quarter in the second fiscal quarter of 2014 the big a beat estimates posting revenue of forty five point six billion dollars and in that quarterly profit of ten point two billion besting the forty three point six billion in revenue and net quarterly profit of 9.5 billion from the same quarter last year now iphone sales were up forty three point seven million units compared to 37.4 a year ago but i pads were down 16 point 35 million compared to 19.5 in the previous year so maybe now Carl Icahn can stop his whining in public in you know it looks like he will after this tweet but bottom line everyone gets paid all right in the latest iphone 6 rumors and news taiwan's industrial and commercial times reports that apple's 5.5 inch iphone 6 has been delayed and will launch in 2015 previous rumors have pointed to potentially two new iphone 6 screen sizes 4.7 and the 5 inch plus size the report says apolis to find a sufficient battery that measures two millimeters or less to fit in the devices super thin profile now the report also says parts suppliers are referring to it as the iphone air but that's not the official name yet and a pass Reuters report also claimed the larger 5.5 inch next-gen phone was having production issues with its display that was also causing delays at the time and did you guys notice how many concept images we use to cover story about a product that hasn't been announced has no release date doesn't exist yet but feels very real and check out these latest renderings from Martin Hajek based on the latest schematics and iphone 6 case leaks let's keep it real this thing is going to have a bigger screen faster a processor touch ID and a better camera the lines for this thing are going to be ten times longer than the lines for the nike air yeezy foamposites and i know one of you is doing a google search right now alright I've said it plenty of times on the show but the next big transformative change for the smartphone in my mind at least here in the US is making it a true digital wallet that works everywhere and touch ID is the first piece to get us there now still early in the process but according to recode Apple is interviewing senior payments industry executives to take on roles with the company to push ahead with their plan to build an electronics payments business now using the over 600 million itunes accounts as the foundation Apple is looking at ways to make it easier for people to buy products in apps and on the web using their iPhones and they're also working on making purchases in physical retail stores with iPhones as well Tim Cook has publicly said mobile payments was one of the thoughts behind touch ID but you know what it's still a long ways before we see anything like this as a real service we're probably at least one or two years away and I'll remind you again the tech has been around in Japan over about 10 years now 10 they had this tech on their flip phones now let's get to the quick bites Apple recently released an update for OS 7.1 point one that brings more improvements to touch ID keyboard bug fixes and security updates and this one is a good one if you're curious about what Apple is cooking with OS 10 they are now letting anyone with an Apple ID to test out OS 10 beta builds previously you had to be part of their paid developer program but not anymore so the latest OS 10 10 point 9.3 build was released recently and you can sign up here for their beta seed program alright that's going to do it for this week's show send me your email to the Apple by to cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong thanks so much for watching I will catch you guys next week for another bite of the Apple
