what's happened in Brian's song here and welcome to the apple pie for everything and I mean everything good and bad inside the world of Apple and yes last week's episode was running at 60 frames per second on YouTube and I looked good all right let's get to the show in the latest report from reputable French website I Jen claims the pricing for the iWatch could balloon as high as five thousand dollars now we already know the entry-level apple watch will start at three hundred and fifty dollars IGN reports the stainless steel model will start at five hundred bucks while the gold Apple watch price point could start between 4000 to five thousand dollars is the ultimate bling bling Apple fashion statement that still needs to be connected to your phone and will only last about a day now other than people that poop out money is anyone else going to drop that kind of cheddar for a first gen watch now it makes sense for Apple to make a high-priced relatively unattainable watch if they're really trying to target high fashion why not but friends don't let friends buy a five-thousand-dollar first gen apple watch unless they're getting it for you and what about that rumor of launched target in February of next year or early 2015 from Apple a report from nine to five max says Apple Retail senior VP Angela Ahrendts told retail employees in a video message that they'll need to conserve their energy going into the holiday season then chinese new years and then we've got a new watch launch coming in spring now I check the calendar and the first day of spring in 2015 is all marks the 20th that's nowhere near februari and you know it's going to be releasing the way after that so I'm sorry if I just let you down but here's a hug for you from me oh it's warm huh alright a new report from Chinese economic daily news newspaper says Apple is working on a 3d phone display that doesn't require the use of special glasses and they're actively developing 3d software ecosystems the report claims Apple's iPhones will be moving from the current ncell display technology that won't be compatible with the 3d tech to new displays supplied by tpk now this is really a stretch even if Apple has filed patents as far back as 2012 showing off 3d iOS interfaces with motion gesture capability we also saw how adding that feature worked out for the Amazon fire phone and honestly have you even seen anyone using a fire phone that doesn't work for Amazon anyone still waiting yeah that's what I thought all right a new report from new field Wireless finds that US carriers have experienced a huge surge in voice over LTE use with the iphone 6 and 6 plus if your carrier has flipped on that switch with 3g voice calling dropping by 150 normal amount now AT&T and Verizon followed that up with an announcement that they will work together to allow their customers to make voice over LTE calls to each other across the networks in 2015 really a rare instance where carriers appear to be working together for the consumer and in more new Starwood Hotels has officially launched its SPG kila service allowing guests to use their iPhones and future Apple watches to unlock their hotel room doors now I always get to the room just like this but we know most people really get to the rooms and need keyless entry like this alright if you haven't been following the activity around the next Steve Jobs biopic the latest is that Christian Bale is bailing on the Steve Jobs job and that was the best headline ever now Bale withdrew his name from the project with a little curious timing after news leaked that Seth Rogen may be slotted to play was reports now say producers are now in talks with Michael Fassbender to take on the job of jobs so magneto and the Green Hornet for the first time together on the big screen and if any of you were watching television recently you know it was election day here in the US cNN has a regular coverage flanked with their team of experts and this time flanked with microsoft surface Pro's for product placement the problem they weren't being used to cover the event they were being used as stands for the commentators who are using iPads whoops yeah maybe Microsoft should add that somewhere into the recent apple bashing ad campaigns all right that's going to do for this we show email me at the apple byte at cnet com or tweet me a brian Tong and i'll respond after i finish detailing my crocs thanks so much for watching and we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple
