what's up everybody brian tong here and welcome to the Apple byte the s Edition for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple now the iPhone 6s reviews are in and the consensus is real positive with 3d touch and the camera being the two standout features that everyone is talking about now I'll get my hands on it just like you this weekend but the reviews confirm what I believe from the start 3d touch is going to change how you use your phone once you have it you won't want to phone without it and it's just scratching the surface I know sure sounds like I'm drinking the kool-aid but like the saying goes don't knock it until you've tried it the same goes for boba now we know the iPhone is expected to arrive this Friday for those of you that pre-ordered it but if you live in certain parts of Philadelphia and New York City that won't be the case the Bega has started sending emails to customers who might be affected by the shutdown of deliveries and pickups on Thursday and Friday due to Pope Francis's visit to the United States come on Pope you had to come visit on iPhone Friday now on behalf of my Apple biters in Philly and the NYC I'm sorry but you're getting a bad apple and if I somehow get struck by lightning or I'm no longer hosting the show next week you'll know why but maybe you're a lucky dust like visual designer Adrienne Alpern from San Diego California somehow someway her rose gold iPhone slipped through and she received it five days before launch so she's showing it off taking pictures with it and her dog and just taunting us with more pictures I mean what did you but she still needs to learn to shoot video in landscape mode I know let's be honest just jealous now Apple is taking steps to remove malicious code added to some commonly used apps like WeChat after the first large-scale attack on Apple's App Store a counterfeit version of Apple's Xcode that's normally used for building apps is being called Xcode ghost and was downloaded by several developers to build their apps which were then released into the App Store now a lot of times des will go to outside sites to download Xcode because Apple servers are hammered when they release new versions that's how Xcode ghost ended up being downloaded and you WeChat has been updated and fixed like many others but Apple claims there is no evidence to suggest that Xcode ghost has been used for anything malicious such as transmitting personal identification info but right now security firm eyes says about 4000 apps have been compromised and it's up to Apple to remove them and notify users sounds like fun alright Apple has also released a new iOS 9 software update nine point 0.1 is now available and adds a few bug fixes but many of you have pointed out how the iPads podcast app from Apple still does not have an option to play a video podcast fullscreen look here where's the button to go fullscreen nowhere really Apple that's an easy bad apple I'll write a new teardown by I fix it gets us inside the guts of the new Apple TV no big surprises here but it can be fun to look at some of these pics featuring its dual core 8 processor in red on the top of the logic board and why not just tear the Siri remote apart as well cool now Apple has also released the second TV OS beta for developers and a couple new details have come out of it developers steve town smith says the old apple remote will still work with the new Apple TV meaning the new Apple TV still has an IR receiver which is good for home theater junkies with universal remotes also the new Apple TV and it's Siri remote can sense when you pick it up and will automatically turn on the Apple TV if it was in sleep mode so you don't have to press a button to start it up all the time anymore and maybe you're not impressed with all the Apple videos coming out this year and you're already looking to the future according to The Wall Street Journal Apple has designated its Apple car as a committed project with a target shipping date of 2019 the fruit company has been investigating an Apple branded car over the past year it's been making plenty of hires within the automobile industry and even recently met with California's DMV to talk about self-driving cars according to the Guardian now internally it's called project Titan and the group has been given the green light to triple the 600 person team and it will be interesting to see how this all comes together down the road promise off stop all right and in some gadgets coming soon that I have to show you have you ever wanted to text someone while you were holding an umbrella but it's just not that easy well check this out from Korean company KT design it's called the phone Brella and it's amazing rested on your wrist and have access to

it allow us to take better selfies with our dogs the answer is no but this will it's a Kickstarter called the pooch selfie it's a phone mount that holds a tennis ball which is pretty much like crack
