what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple we actually have some legitimate iPhone 6 news not like those made up LeBron to Cleveland rumors don't expect revamped max anytime soon and Apple has a job opening we can all qualify for well almost all of us so let's get to the show and new videos of factory-line parts acquired by Sonny Dickson's are showing us just how unbreakable and unscratched will the new sapphire based iPhone 6 front panel is Dixon is pretty kind with it with his been test but then YouTube rockstar marques Brownlee decides to get real he starts scratching it with a scratch test with his keys then takes it up a notch by trying to scratch it vigorously with a knife and even stabs it hard there's still not a single blemish he bends it even under more extreme conditions but nada now these are the only two known sapphire front panels that have leaked out sunny Dixon has a solid reputation of getting these parts in the past and the clarity of this panel is really crystal clear it also might confirm one unknown this is a 4.7 inch panel rumors had said only the larger 5.5 inch iPhone 6 would get the sapphire display but this part would suggest otherwise and something this light really can't be tested for corner drops or legit shatter test so we'll continue waiting but the panel looks impressive more parts this time a hands-on with a rumored 4.7 inch rear shell for the iPhone 6 thanks to moscow-based felled and Volk this is the first to showcase the cutout for the Apple logo a slot for the SIM card tray and two screws near the Lightning port opening on the bottom and the number one request everyone is asking for with the iPhone is better battery life but according to Chinese media reports we may be disappointed with a lower than expected battery capacity that will only give a slight boost compared to the iPhone 5s now that's due to the rumored focus on a slimmer design with an 1800 milliampere hours battery for the 4.7 inch phone and a 2500 milliamp Peters hour battery for the 5.5 inch one now in comparison Samsung's Galaxy s5 sports a 2,800 milliampere battery for their 5.1 inch display so would you guys rather have a slimmer iPhone or one that has way more battery life we know software optimization is part of it but when all is said and done Samsung's full advertising assault calling the iPhone users uh wall huggers might still be just as accurate when even the iPhone 6 comes out denied the freedom to enjoy even the most basic things like grabbing a drink or sharing a laugh with your co-workers or sitting with someone you know Zen or iPhones coming out soon open its a bitter battery I can tell you that I'm that person at the airport all the time but I don't like hugging walls I prefer huggy new all right also Apple seriously needs to step up their advertising game because they have been getting a bad apple beatdown by Sammy over the past two years all right I know a lot of us are looking to get a Mac with Intel's next-gen Broadwell chipset but Chinese site VR zone reports that production will not start until later in the year pushing out Mac's that would use those chips to mid 2015 it was expected to ramp up in July in August but that's just not the case anymore the report says new MacBook Airs and 13-inch MacBook Pros won't be ready to ship with Broadwell until February 2015 and the larger 15-inch MacBook Pro and IMAX won't be shipping until July 2015 at the earliest bottom-line Rodwell chips and Apple products won't appear until 2015 and that's been confirmed to seen it as well all right let's take a break and check out the app of the week this one is for all the sports fans out there and you've got to check out the 120 sports app which is more than just highlights they present two-minute clips really made for the internet generation of the biggest stories and highlights you can read articles that complement the

track your steps taken and that data is displayed as far back as a week for you there's also a new caffeine section to track how many Red Bulls you drink a day now this is the first year I really haven't installed it on my primary device because I'm not willing to screw with some key apps that stop working the past two years and plenty of people have complained how it's not ready for primetime use because maybe it's a beta on the other hand I've always partitioned my hard drive to use the latest OS 10 Developer Preview and Apple released the third iteration recently dark mode is officially available as an option for the OS which is really cool System Preferences mail and cloud preferences have received some interface tweaks and there's an updated QuickTime icon now a lot of you asked me
