Apple Byte - The Apple Watch reviews are in: Fancy, but not necessary.

2015-04-09
what's good brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple by for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple now before we get to the Apple watch reviews we are always accountable here at the Apple by so I just wanted to address an error in last week's show at the 438 mark where I said i watch are ready for the Apple watch with updates to their iOS apps that include i watch support i watch support oyoshi dude yes I'm sorry and there were no other errors last week I am in fact 23 years old plus working all right let's get to the show and the Apple watch reviews are in the verdict it's the most ambitious smart watch right now it's the best-looking one but it's not essential and it tells you something when every reviewer says it's not really for everyone now see that Scott sign says it's more like a fashionable toy than a necessary tool Rico's Lauren good says smart watches are still unproven but Apple has made a pretty strong case for them and Brian tongs mom says why are you wasting your money on that thanks mom now i'm waiting until the 24th like some of you to purchase one for myself but i'm pretty sure their reviews would be a little different if they were the ones putting down their own cold hard cash for that stainless steel one thousand dollar set up with multiple bands at Apple provided them I'm just saying now the good news for the most part its battery gets through an entire day but different issues range from the watch's interface being slow and sluggish at times the heart rate tracking not working unless you have a sports BAM that fits tight to the wrist and the most important thing being the ability to tell time like a subtle twist of the wrist won't always do it and a deliberate shake of the wrist is needed for the screen to turn on fancy but not necessary is really the overall theme and I honestly think a lot of you hardcore Apple fans we're hoping for more but we'll have plenty more to follow up in the coming weeks all right Apple is publicly released the official update for OS 10 point 10.3 with the new Photos app bug fixes and new emojis we've talked about iOS 8.3 also receive their own update as well so you can finally get your diverse emojis on it works for some butt not all you just hold down on an emoji and choose the skin tone color you want but sadly you can't change the color of the poopoo all right Apple is officially confirm the pricing of the bill to order new macbook 12 inch that starts at twelve ninety nine for the 1.1 gigahertz intel core m processor now if you want the processor bump to one point three gigahertz that will cost an extra two hundred and fifty dollars and you might want to strongly consider that after the recent geekbench test compared it performance wise to the top-tier macbook air from 2011 so like I've said before a great design but wait until more power comes to this machine now French website has revealed a video and images of what's believed to be the rear shell of the fourth-generation iPad Mini they aren't official but it takes design cues from the current ipad air and also uses the similar single row of holes for the speaker grill as well apple has released new iPads in the late October time frame the past years and we can probably expect the same now LG might be getting a little ahead of itself but in a recent explainer on the future of 8k resolution screens and calling it the future of display technology they also claim that apple will announce the imac 8k with a super high resolution display later this year yes now it could be a mistake of course they are probably testing them but this is another wait and see in the meantime Apple should probably focus on 4k or at least get up to speed there first before jumping into 8k that's because a follow-up report from buzzfeed's John pets Kowski claims up the fourth generation Apple TV that is rumored to come this year will not support 4k video initially with the source saying that 4k is great but it's still in its infancy now Netflix and Amazon are offering 4k content right now but it's extremely limited and the current eight chip in the iPhone 6 and 6 plus has been shown to be 4k capable but really it's apples mo to wait until new standards have widespread adoption before jumping in and before we go just wanted to send a shot out to two specific Apple biters all the way from Colombia Pablo and Felipe thanks for watching and I know you guys are probably running around in circles right now alright that's going to do for this we show you always email us at the apple byte at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong and i'll answer if i'm awake thanks so much for watching we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple I'll just no no no I'll just be like this Charlie I'll to be like this stick my head out yeah why are you wasting your money on that that's Oh what time is right now yeah that's fine
