what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and this week it's a whole lot of good now the sexy headline comes straight from Tim Cook during Apple's recent earnings report which we'll get to in a bit now Cook said development for the Apple watch is right on schedule and they expect to begin shipping in April he also added my expectations are high on it I'm using it every day and I love it and I can't live without it oh my goodness I mean I just wonder how did Timmy even survive a day before the Apple watch life is already so tough especially when you're the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company my friends the struggle is real speaking of struggling the Apple watch's battery life might be something Cupertino is having trouble with after a recent report from nine-to-five Matt claimed that Apple was aiming for two and a half to four hours of active use with the Apple watch now don't freak out just yet that means actually interacting with the watch and not with the people around you they are targeting a goal of 19 hours of active and passive use combined or three days of standby time or four days if the watch is sleeping you know since you probably paid a minimum $349 to have something and sit on your desk for four days doing nothing now this is the first real until we've heard about the battery life but the report also says Apple may not be able to reach the 19 hour mixed use school for the first gen this pretty much aligns with Tim Cook's previous comments that Apple expects you'll be charging their SmartWatch daily but this is one of those products that is screaming to me wait for the second gen alright let's get to the earnings an Apple recently reported their first fiscal quarter of 2015 and it was G double OD good posting a net quarterly profit of 18 billion dollars on seventy four point six billion dollars in revenue that's the most profitable quarter ever by any company ever no one has done it better now Apple sold a record seventy four point five million iPhones the corner up from 51 million a year earlier max were up 5.5 million compared to 4.8 million the year before but iPad sales dipped to 20 1.4 million from 26 million last year the iPhone now makes up 69 percent of apples revenue and ipods well they're bunched in that tiny slice of the pie called under here now the iPhone 6 release was really the eye opener here Cook said there with some clear geographical preferences for the iPhone 6 versus the six plus you can also thank China for the big jump in numbers for 16 point 1 billion dollars in revenue jumping up 70 percent from last year you'll have 20 Apple stores there very soon and they'll be doubling that by mid 2016 so we can expect to see more big numbers in the future with all this momentum all right iPad sales are down in that probably won't change anytime soon with no major revamp coming in it's still a product that lasts a good two to three years easily I keep telling you all I'm a big fan of the iPad pro for traveling and these top-notch renderings by Martin hey Jack gives us an idea of what we might see when it releases now he envisions the big bezel coming back shows off a size comparison and even includes details like the smudge and spit marks that all of you have on your iPad's plus a glowing Apple logo stylus cool in theory but not cool if you have to recharge it okay in some quick Apple software updates OS 10 point 10 point to bring some security fixes Wi-Fi disconnecting issues are fixed and the ability to browse your iCloud Drive in Time Machine and iOS 8.1 point 3 was also released and brings bug fixes but the biggest improvement reduces the amount of storage required to perform a software update in the future and I know you all like that but before we go Believe It or Not sometimes the Apple bite makes mistakes I know crazy huh well last week we told you about how Apple got rid of the free iTunes song of the week and a lot of you wrote me and we're mad about that so on behalf of you we threw out a bad apple well right after that Apple added a whole new section on the iTunes Store called free on iTunes that includes 16 songs and 22 full-length TV episodes right now so you know what the bad apple is on me yeah I deserve that one and maybe that one okay okay okay that's enough but my favorite free song Nicki jams travel stewardess all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can always email me at the Apple bite at cnn.com or tweet me at Bryant Tong thanks for watching we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple amigo get out
