what's up Brian song here and welcome to the apple byte it's our 2012 predictions show and we know rumors helped fuel the fire but let's have a little fun here and just make some really bold outlandish statements I'll write our first prediction at number one Apple will not release a TV in 2012 now TVs make their debut at the Consumer Electronics Show and they start hitting shelves around May June or July why would Apple do it at the end of 2012 they won't and they'll wait for the beginning of 2013 to upstage CES just like they did with their first iPad announcement and in an even bolder prediction if they even decide to launch one I really think Apple standalone TV will be Apple's first new product flop in a long time this year really was the year to buy a new LCD or plasma TV with the prices being lower than ever and people only replace their TVs maybe what once every five to seven years and that's being generous now if you already spent around two grand on a 55 inch TV are you going to buy an Apple TV one year later I don't think so but maybe if you're an old rich guy named Daddy Warbucks we don't know a single fact about the TV how will change the game will it you Siri and even if it does will that be enough all right on to prediction number two Apple release a new ipad iphone ipod imax macbook pros and airs in 2012 see I told you I was good but 2012 will be the last year we see a Mac Pro and they'll transition to a powerhouse iMac and eliminate the tower completely from the product line rumors are they've been holding back on releasing the new Mac Pro this year as they evaluate how profitable the division is for them now they kill the xserve for the same reasons and we're saying 2012 is the last we'll see of the mac pro ok prediction number 3 let's just put out a few small ones together and first up facetime will bring multiple user chat in 2012 with all FaceTime compatible devices it's something that should happen with apps like fring already doing it so I expect to see that also we still want to see blu-ray as a build-to-order option for apple's mac line get this if they haven't done it by now they aren't going to it and finally we'll get the iphone we've all been waiting for the iphone 4gs all right calm down guys you know what I'm talking about you know and I know an iphone 5 with 4G LTE compatibility and a bigger screen has to come in 2012 especially since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is one impressive looking phone it also come in white all right on our show today we'd like to introduce to you a special futuretelling expert going to take on life's questions that I have no answer for so it is with great honor that I introduce you to the all knowing all seen no shirt honest ain't no satalia so uh you know will you be able to help us out here well yes yes I will leave this to me this question master Tongass should i wait to buy the new macbook pro why yes yes of course do you watch the Apple bites can I get them to a request nostra Tongass are you the father of my baby would you be willing to take a paternity test next question he knows to Tongass um well my man learn to satisfy me in 2012 there are some things only Nostradamus can do next hey nostradamus well I find love in 2012 my friend all the signs point to null or try Vegas haha such is all alright i don't think i've done that before and that's going to do it for this we show enjoy the new year and a fresh new start with 2012 send us your emails to the Alpha bite at cnet com i'm brian Tong thanks for watching and we'll see you next time for another bite of the Apple
