Apple Byte - The hidden features in iOS 8 Apple didn't show you
2014-06-12
man it is so good to have you back man
the old office good to be here I know
it's been way too long
it has been a while have you seen
everybody yeah I saw the editors I hung
out with the mailroom guys for a little
bit grab a bite you know what's cool
what about Brian
uh-huh really he really hasn't gotten
over you actually it's been two years
man
say goodbye what's good Brian Tong here
and welcome to the Apple buy for all the
good and bad inside the world of Apple
this week it's the stuff Apple didn't
show you an iOS 8 and product rumors
galore let's get to it and we'll start
off with the gadgets Apple still hasn't
shown us according to a new report from
Mac generation Apple is plenty to update
its iMac line next week with speed bump
and lower prices we aren't expecting
these IMAX to bring a Retina display
just yet and they could surprise us but
recent evidence in the OS 10 Yosemite
beta points the direct references to
Retina display imax in the near future
now in more Mac news that we couldn't
get to last episode Intel announced our
next-generation Broadwell chipset that
will be used in devices that will go on
sale later this year
the Intel Core M processor will be the
most energy-efficient one in the
company's history and even better a
majority of designs based on this chip
are expected to be fanless a fanless
chip is a big deal and I don't know if
we'll actually see that tech integrated
into Apple's laptop line like the
rumored 12 inch MacBook Air it's not
likely but we'll see
all right Korean site ET news reports
displays for apple's next iPad air are
set to begin production this month with
the camera module entering production
soon as well we're still expecting an
updated a a8 processor an upgraded
camera and touch ID this time around
with rumors still pointing to a
September October release based on the
past history of iPad releases and watch
out multiple reports including the
Nikkei and recoat are saying Apple is
aiming for October with an apple event
in the same month to show off the device
the Nikkei reports it will use the
curved OLED touchscreen and will use
biometric sensors to collect
health-related data even Apple has
already started pushing the idea of
health and fitness
with their new ad
go you chicken fat go I mean what do
they even mean by chicken fat I didn't
even see it in the video okay that's
disgusting and I'm going to finish this
show without throwing up all right
AppleInsider found the big a was
recently granted a patent this week
for a weightlifting tracking system that
uses a standalone sensor to transmit
metrics to a remote display including a
wristwatch a sensor Laden device would
attach itself to a weightlifting bar and
counts and displays repetitions or what
we call in the workout community reps
now this is just one of the examples
that perfectly aligns with the idea of
Apple's next-gen wearable but come on I
don't need a watch to keep track of my
reps
that's right I work out
now the iOS 8 and OS 10 Yosemite beta
have been out for a while now so we just
wanted to go over some of the things L
didn't show you or really get into
detail at WWDC the rumored split-screen
multitasking is still in works code
related to apps running side by side has
been found in the beta and it will
reportedly only work in landscape mode
and may be limited to the iPad air
initially also iOS 8 will be able to
show battery usage by app so you can
find out which one draws too much power
that one's super helpful there will be a
time lapse mode for the camera which is
a great built-in Edition Safari includes
the option to request the desktop
version of the website on your mobile
device you can set a time of 30 days or
one year to remove your stored messages
and free up valuable space and your
recent photos will also show up so you
can add them quickly instead of always
going to your photo library to find them
there's a grayscale mode for
accessibility and there will be an
option that will allow users to place
calls over Wi-Fi instead of the older
cellular networks saving minutes data
and the best part better call quality so
there's still plenty more little bells
and whistles but those are just a few of
the smaller useful changes we can expect
an iOS 8 when it's available to the
public this fall and if you thought
Apple's Maps we're all figured out
they're not we were expecting to hear
about the new improvements but
techCrunch reports that many developers
left the company and improvements for
iOS 8 maps just weren't finished in time
now the story continues that tasks were
badly planned developers were jumping
from project to project and internal
politics issues were more significant
contributors to the
failure to complete maps on time yikes
now do we even have to question this
that's a bad apple and I'm still not
using those maps and you thought I
wasn't gonna show you an iPhone 6 rear
shell case this week right well here
they are thanks to Taiwanese race car
driver Jimmy Lin who is flaunting his
iPhone six mock-up case thing he's a
cool guy it's not the real thing because
if it was really working he would have
turned on the screen but more
importantly what can we learn from these
photos use nail clippers
alright that's gonna do it for this
week's show send us your emails to the
Apple byte at cnn.com or tweet me up
Brian Tong and if it's your birthday you
might get a special wish and if not it
means I don't care that's gonna do for
this week's show I'm Brian telling
