what's happened in Bryant on here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple the Apple iPhone 6 event gets an unofficial date a future iPad could bring gaming controls and did you know Samsung actually did work for Apple let's get to the show in that magic date for Apple's next iPhone looks to be September the 9th according to multiple sources now it still hasn't been officially announced by the bay gay but recode says they have scheduled it that's just about a month away but the 9th is also known as wonderful weirdos day it's probably one of the stupidest made-up days I've ever heard of and my favorite teddy bear day yes I'm not lying like who wants an iPhone when you can give that someone special a teddy bear that just melts me like great in this area all right in a couple iPhone follow-up stories a cloning company analyst claims the two rumored iPhone 6 screen sizes won't be the only thing that makes them different their supply chain checks report that the 5.5 inch iPhone may include a more powerful processor and a different touch module compared to the 4.7 inch iPhone now there are no specifics on clock speeds the analyst says the size of the processor may be larger pointing to the a8 chip but it's a stretch with no specifics right now we've also talked about past rumors with the iPhone 6s less than stellar potential battery reports now point to a 2100 milliampere battery which would be a 46 percent increase from the iPhone 5s now that still trails the galaxy s5s 2800 milliampere battery but the tight integration between Apple's hardware and software optimization should help make up some of that difference we hope all right Apple released the latest update for OS 10 Yosemite s Developer Preview and an updated look with the system preferences and a redesigned top bar launch pad now has a progress bar there's a new looking volume and brightness panel and a tweaked calculator with Apple's favorite translucency iOS 8 also released its betta as well with some new tweets like the ability to use SMS relay with your computer it's one of the new continuity features there's now an option directly on the keyboard to turn on predictive typing the ability to optimize your photos with iphone storage by sending full res versions to the iCloud and keeping a smaller optimized version on your phone and when Wi-Fi calling is enabled on the network like t-mobile it will be called out as t-mobile Wi-Fi there are plenty more little hidden secrets and improvements but the most interesting beta release might be for the Apple TV which brings a cleaner and more refined look with Apple's thinner fonts introduced in iOS 7 as well you can check out its revamp two icons that take a cue from Apple's cleaner and flatter design direction let's check out some iPad news and a new set of photos claims to show the rear shell of the purported iPad air 2 the images show off of gold housing with several design changes including a new speaker grille with larger holes and a microphone next to the iSight camera on the back now this lines up with previous leaks and replicas we've recently seen that also feature the expected touch ID sensor so what could be coming to the next next iPad well Apple has been granted a patent for a backside gaming controls on an iPad that's right iPad booty controls that allow the rear surface to be used as an input device for gaming the patent was filed in 2012 so this is a patent that's been granted pretty quickly the sensors would be aligned along the edges in a grid-like pattern on the back end may include ultrasonic pressure and capacitive sensors and one or more cameras could also be used to give proximity information now we've already proposed a name for it we like to call it the iPad touch my rear all right let's check out the quick bytes Samsung and Apple have agreed to end all patent disputes outside of the United States suits in Australia Japan South Korea Germany and other countries will be dropped against each other now slowly the two companies have been making peace with both dropping appeals to patent infringement cases and all patent suits involving Motorola Mobility good news coming from the App Store the coop town kids announced July was a record-setting month for apps for revenue and Tim Cook even tweet his thanks Apple also put out an announcement showing off the power of Apple's ability to create jobs with roughly six hundred and twenty-nine thousand jobs in Europe thanks to the Apple economy and over five hundred thousand of those jobs were part of Apple's app economy and ladies and gentlemen we finish things off with my favorite story of the day a former employee from apple's vancouver pacific center store is auctioning off his business card t-shirt and lanyard for charity well why is it so special it's because the dude's name is samsung sam sung worked for Apple and it's the only time you'll see Apple and Samsung on the same business card so Sam put up the auction on eBay all of the proceeds will go to Children's Wish British Columbia and UConn a nonprofit that grants wishes to sick children and with eight days left it's at 80 thousand and two hundred dollars that's amazing so Sam the Apple biters got nothing but love for you and you deserve all the props in the world that might end up being one of the coolest stories of the year all right that's gonna do it for this week's show send me your emails to the Apple byte at cnn.com or tweet me at Bryant on it I will get to as many as I can they so much watch it we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple you
