what's up i'm brian tong and welcome to the Apple buy for the good stuff the bad stuff all of it inside the world of Apple plus we will announce our winners from our contest now if you guys are hungry for more iPhone news and rumors this week's show is for you even if the phones expected announcement is over a month away now the latest news is that Apple's new iPhone is expected to be 18 percent thinner not officially confirmed but expected that's after rumors cite Apple Pro took measurements of the leaked enclosures for the purported next iPhone now the enclosure was measured at seven point six millimeters thick compared to the iPhone 4s is thickness of nine point three millimeters and trust me every millimeter counts now they point out that Apple has been able to reduce the thickness thanks to modifications like an elongated design with a bigger screen the relocation of the headphone jack to the bottom the use of the new nano SIM card tray that takes up 40% less space and the more compact MagSafe style dock connector now website etrade also put their calipers to work and found the front glass piece was 0.1 millimeters thinner as well the overall dimensions of the phone measured were also found to pretty much match the leaked schematics that were discovered in June now Apple also released the fourth beta of iOS 6 out to developers this week which has helped to offer even more clues with tweaks to the iOS simulator 9 to 5 Mac found that iOS 6 is capable of automatically scaling its home screen to fit a taller 11 36 by 640 display more interesting is that changing it to any other resolution will not correctly display five rows of icons so there's definitely something specific about the resolution that Apple has been working with now iOS 6 will also no longer include the YouTube app that's been a staple of iowa's and they've removed it from the fourth beta as well Apple says their license agreement with YouTube had ended YouTube is expected to be working on their own app but it's a clear sign that Google and Apple are moving further and further away from each other now everyone is still talking about the new dock connection and inside of the iOS 6 code a new hardware feature is referenced as 9 pin which could point to the smaller dock connector but that's still up in the air after reports of a 19 pin and eight pin connector from other rumor sites plus I more which first claimed a smaller dock connector was coming now says that the miniaturized dock connector is coming to all of the iOS devices and will implement it as early as September 12th with the new iPhone iPod Touch and nanos the rumored 7 inch iPad Mini you can choose to believe this guy's also there including an updated version of the current nine point seven inch iPad and that's why we call some of these stories rumors alright let's get to some actual news and some tidbits that have come from the ongoing trial between Apple and Samsung the big a continues to plead its case that Samsung went as far as even lifting their icons from their iPhone and iPad now they provided evidence comparing icons that use the same colors or similar graphics so here's a look at Samsung's music player icon that yeah it kind of looks like an iTunes logo the contacts at totally different color totally now the photo icon are you sure that's a sunflower in both icons yeah I'm pretty sure it is maybe notes let's look at that well the page is turning there on all of Samsung's so that's different and settings yeah I always think of gears whenever I think of settings and the phone icon okay Samsung really shouldn't have done that now the quote of the trial came from Apple's first expert witness industrial designer Peter Bressler when he was pressed multiple times over the width of the side margin between an apple and Samsung device Bressler said you're asking me to compare peanut butter to Turkey yep that's the kind of testimony we're getting here so it's Apple the peanut butter that sweet and sticky treat that sticks to the roof your mouth I also know dogs like peanut butter a lot like a lot now why can't a Palance am song just get along I've seen a peanut butter turkey sandwich before so I know it's possible and yes this trial continues alright other nuggets from the trial include Scott forestalls testimony where he revealed content chief Eddy Cue was pushing for a 7-inch iPad by January 2011 internal emails show that Steve Jobs seemed receptive to the idea in those recent times and rumors about 7-inch iPads picked up shortly after that also in Patten news and a peek into the possible future the gadget discovered a newly filed patent application from Apple showing off a significantly enhanced iPad Smart Cover that could include features like a secondary display on the inside with embedded solar power cells a keyboard on the inside like the Microsoft Surface or even the ability to control your music and change tracks on the backside of the Smart Cover when it's being used as a stand which seems like the most realistic one to me there are some really cool ideas here but again it remains to be seen if any of these ideas will be implemented I'll write to the quick bytes Google is planning to roll out its new version of Google search for the iPhone in the near future and it brings natural language voice search to the app and asks for things like weather mapping info information about people and more it uses the same engine as or Google now product does and it's worth checking out for those of you who don't have a 4s or really if you just don't care for Siri and after harsh criticism from the public and media Apple has taken down those uninspiring non iconic crapple genius ads from circulation on TV they're really really bad Apple worthy now the big a said the ads were only intended for the first run during the Olympics so just for the weekend right sure guys and the iPhone isn't coming in September all right let's get to our
