what's happened in brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good at-bat inside the world of Apple we've got a bunch of stories after the big a's head chef recently spoke at the d11 conference to do not that guy we're talking about Apple CEO Tim Cook and he addressed the current state of Apple now we all know activity and excitement around Apple has recently slowed down that's the perception and the show me something tech world and sometimes perception can be reality so how did cook respond to the question if Apple has lost its edge the same culture and largely the same people that brought you the iphone that brought you the ipad mini that brought the ipod and some that even brought the mac are still there the culture is all still there many of the people are there and yeah i think we have several more several more game changers in US whoo because i thought they were really running out of ideas not really but one of those products is yes the Apple TV and cook had this to say about it it's not an experience that that I think very many people love it's not an experience that you would say has been brought up to date for this decade it's still an experience it's too much like it was ten years ago in many cases 20 years ago I don't I don't want to go any further on this because I don't want to give anybody else any ideas they have it but don't already have cook wouldn't even hint if it was ready to come out this year now Tim also said he doesn't see the mainstream appeal with Google glass and added that the wrist is interesting in the wearable tech space but gave no hints that Apple had anything coming anytime soon also WWDC is just a couple weeks away and cook went on the record to say Apple will be rolling out the future of iOS and OS 10 and we're super excited about it he also talked about the role Johnny eyes has played with the new iOS Johnny had contributed significantly to the look and feel of Apple over many many years and could do that for our software as well I think it's absolutely incredible and what about that Apple TV again it continues to be an area of great interest to us Tim come on throw me a bone man you're still giving us nada now when asked about if Apple ever plans on having multiple iphone models Cook said that Apple may one day release a second model alongside the flagship iPhone they haven't done it yet but that doesn't mean they won't all right to the rumor mills and the latest iPhone rumblings since Timmy won't talk about it maco to car reports that the rumored low-cost iPhone will ship with new colors but depending on the source the colors range from white navy gold orange and grey would seem like a really muted and Joel color set from Apple but could also include pink green blue and yellow orange which is not to be confused with the individual colors of yellow or orange Oh important they also report that the iphone 5s will be largely the same but it will support a dual LED flash this time around and the microphone on the back side will have a rear circular shaped hole I'm just telling you what the report says now it's also rumored to come in standard black and white but gold and green are now two new possible color options so pretty much any iPhone that comes out could be any color that exists hey Brian Burgundy's my favorite color um thanks Elsa alright an iPad news report from citi research says their supply chain checks indicate that they not only expect a lower-cost iPhone but a sub two hundred fifty dollar ipad mini they say there's an emphasis on more inexpensive devices with competition from other products like the 199 Nexus 7 duh now at 249 for an ipad mini just don't expect it to be a retina version at that price and a story that you might care about the big a has agreed to pay 53 million dollars as resolution for a class action lawsuit over the sensitivity of their liquid damage sensors in iPods and iPhones apples policy was to deny repairs to a broken device if the indicator had been triggered even if it could be triggered during normal use without dropping it in water so some of you could be eligible for a payout up to three hundred dollars if your warranty claims were denied for an iphone before december 31st 2009 or an ipod before jun 2010 and before we go just a heads up for those of you who still wanted to get your hands on those cool al13 aluminum frames from last week our buddies at think buy em are offering twenty percent off if you use the code Apple by 10 is good until June the first so I really dig these frames and the word check it out alright that's gonna do it for this week's show send me your emails to the apple byte at cnet com I'll get to as many as I can I'm Brian Tom thanks for watching we'll catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple
