Apple Byte - The Apple Watch goes through scratch tests. Does it survive?

2015-04-23
what's good Bryant on here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good bad inside the world of Apple and we're just days away from the release of the Apple watch and we'll also announce the winners for our Mortal Kombat X giveaway now let's get to it and we've already seen online videos for both the alleged sapphire glass cover for the Apple watch and the ion X glass cover for the Apple watch sport being tortured and put to the test with different scratch tests now some of them are practical but I'm not so sure I'll be running my wrist in constant direct contact with a piece of coarse sandpaper all the time the same alright just before the April 24th release Apple was granted patents for the Apple watch sport band which has unique fold under design element with the strap the classic buckle that connects with magnets and the link bracelet that has a spring-loaded butterfly clip and release buttons on some of the links for a custom fit now these are actually unique designs that deserve a patent also the Apple watch edition with the exclusive gold link bracelet is making its way onto high-profile celebrities like this picture of Beyonce lost in with it at Coachella that pretty much set the internet on fire now JJ Abrams didn't get the same treatment but people still went gaga over his stainless steel Apple watch at Star Wars Celebration and so what celebs are getting the Apple watch early but you can too that's because some pre-orders with four to six weeks where a June delivery estimate have seen their order status change to preparing for shipment could this really be happening so you're telling me there's a chance yeah well maybe for you but not for this guy late and if you're curious what some of your favorite apps might look on the watch developers Steven trot and Smith has created a tool that lets you take an early peek at apps like Twitter and its small screen layout you can also check out Instagram and how its formatted and the ESPN app with its scores and highlights plus one thing the Apple watch will also be able to do is control your keynote or PowerPoint presentations and you can see what that looks like in these images as well now and some not so great news for eager 12-inch MacBook owners many users are experiencing a spinning beach ball during the setup process that has stalled the setup for as long as 30 minutes now Apple is suggesting users avoid the delay by moving through the setup assistant without connecting to the Internet then once the laptop is set up restart it and manually join your local Wi-Fi connection or plug into Ethernet pain-in-the-butt apple's addressing it but at least you know what to do for now and that's why you should tell your friends to watch the Apple byte alright WWDC 15 is coming in the first part of June we're ready for it but are you all now according to the WWDC 15 attendance policy you may not use selfie sticks or similar monopods WWDC is also banning wearable recording devices like Google glass which is actually probably gonna help you meet more people in real life now no selfie sticks I can't believe it so that begs the question are they also banning the belfie stick because you know taking a picture of your booty it's kind of a thing now but we always know Apple is typically slower in terms of adopting new forms of technology so next year WWDC attendees I can assure you selfie sticks would be added to that list and if you're an Apple lover that's up to no good make sure you keep your tech toys locked away somewhere that's after a scorned ex found out her boyfriend had been cheating on her so she did the next logical thing she dumped his entire Apple collection into a bathtub full of water and posted it on Twitter now this dude will be bobbing for apples for reals now the submerged collection looks like it included one eye Mac and iPad two iPhones two MacBooks and Airport extreme and more now Apple recently published a patent in early April to make the buttons on its iOS devices waterproof but it won't help this guy all right let's get to the winners of our Mortal Kombat giveaway from last week where I asked you what you thought about my mom and her comments on the Apple watch why are you wasting your money of that now over email has soos de Dios writes in with moms know best plus she's kind of cute you must have gotten your looks from your dad yeah he sees how did you know and on Twitter metalman said I don't think your mother is a tiger mom but she sure might be a cougar but she doesn't look anything like a cougar all right congrats to both of you thanks to everyone who entered and will get the games out to you as soon as we can that's gonna do for this week's show now I'm really hoping none of you waits in line outside of an Apple store on Friday because they aren't selling the watch in store so don't be that person you can email me at the Apple bye to see Netcom or tweet me at brian tong and I will answer after my nap time thanks for watching we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple
