what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the Apple watch is out it's here and there is plenty of follow-up to talk about so let's get to the show and you know Apple was going to eventually show itself for the control freaks that they are after the coop town kids added a new ruling guideline that says they will reject any Apple watch apps whose primary function is just telling time now many developers complain to find their app have been rejected for just this reason and right now Apple only offers 10 watch faces and one of them is Mickey Mouse and I have no idea who would use that so let's just hope Apple changes their policy and opens it up to the devs eventually come on Apple being open hey it could happen now probably not now the big a is also poopoo een fart apps on the Apple watch the developer of fart watch that acted as a glorified whoopee cushion from your wrist got the news from Apple with the following reasons like we notice that your Apple watch app is primarily a fart app we do not accept fart apps on the Apple watch what the fart and I never thought I'd read something like that in my lifetime except digest all right other issues around the Apple watch are surfacing and let's be honest it was only a matter of time get it yeah all right well some early adopters with lower arm tattoos are complaining that the Apple watch isn't working properly because it might fool some of the sensors by flashing infrared or green LED lights against the skin the watch can detect your blood flow but dark colored skin could affect the accuracy of it and I'm not even sure if a tan brian from hawaii will as well now I'm still waiting to get one yes the one I actually paid for but I will test it out on my tramp stamp as soon as I can for you now users are also discovering that the stainless steel Apple watch is actually scratching pretty easily think about the back of the early iPods and imagine that surface on your wrist now and this thing getting banged around all the time or hit by your keys or whatever so it's not a surprise but it also sucks when you paid at least five hundred and forty nine dollars for this guy now you can remove most of the scratches with an inexpensive metal polish but I don't want to hear people say and scratch Kate let's not start that just yet okay but other than looks the Apple square watch looks like it might be the better of the two after display mate technologies tested out both screens they found that the scratch resistant sapphire significantly affected the optical performance of the Apple watch oh LED screen because it reflects twice as much ambient light compared to the Apple watch sports ionic strength and glass that's the same as the iPhone 6 and 6-plus the sapphire cover also doesn't have as good of a viewing angle due to its higher optical depth compared to glass see that's just great to hear you know I might as well buy an Apple watch sport and just spray-paint a gold already hey Brian somebody actually already did that it's on the website called YouTube okay you know what I am getting a little annoyed right now I'm not gonna lie but nothing makes me more mad than the fact that the Apple watch sport ban can also be accessorized based the people I watch popped who are making their own Crocs like accessorizing gibbets for the Apple watch and don't ask me how I know they're called Jib it's now I know you thought you'd see a bad apple earlier in the show but I was saving it for something horrible and this this right here deserves a bad apple Munn we're freakin putting charms on the Apple watch now alright right after this thing came out people were torture testing it in every way possible and what a surprise dropping a heavy frying pan crushes the screen I can also assure you that it works in the shower but real talk right here I can't help but point out how the pre-launch hype hasn't really even come close to matching the post-launch buzz are you really hearing people say I love my Apple watch oMG this is the greatest thing ever because I'm not now I still don't have my personal want to use frequently and try just picking up this thing and playing with it it's easily apple's most confusing interface out of the box and it takes a lot more than just a few hours to get used to but it also reinforces my point that this is anything close to a gotta have and they still have a long ways to go to figure it out now one thing Apple definitely knows is making that money Apple announced their recent earnings for the first quarter of 2015 the second fiscal quarter with 58 billion dollars in revenue and a net quarterly profit of thirteen point six billion it was apples second best quarter ever thanks to them selling 61 million iPhones and 4.5 six million max but iPad sales were down again for the third quarter in a row at twelve point six million almost four million down from the previous year's quarter now there's always some nuggets from these earnings and Apple CEO Tim Cook still stood by the iPad saying that it has a great future and that its long-term prospects are more important than individual 90-day clicks now I'm still one of the many people who are still on board with the iPad and all that talk that is dead is just talk because the reality is that people just don't need to upgrade it nearly as much and looking down the road Tim Cook also hid it at the earnings call that Apple could be part of a change in the media landscape HBO now subscription service on the Apple TV has been a success after two counted for almost one percent of all Internet traffic on a Sunday night recently only one week after its launch now during the earnings call Cook said he sees major major changes in media coming on the horizon and he admitted to Wall Street analysts that Apple could play a part in those changes so I shouldn't have to spell out this one but he's talking about the upcoming new Apple TV it's spelled a PP le T all right that's going to do for this we show you can email me at the Apple bita cnet.com or tweet me at Brian Tong and I'll answer whenever I can thanks for watching we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple
