2016-07-07
what's happening Brian song here and welcome to the Apple by for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple now if you want to get your first taste of iOS 10 and I know there's a lot of you the public beta is available now you can get access by signing up for apples beta software program online for free but I will warn you to put it on a secondary device because not all your apps may work the same way you know because it's a beta but not everyone really cares about that they just want the new stuff now apples also seated the second developer beta for iOS 10 TV OS watchos trace and my name is mako's Sierra I did that for you iOS beta 2 gets a few new tweaks like handling your widgets that you can access at any time with a swipe from the notifications new 3d touch options in the control center for the flashlight and timer and your medical ID has the option for organ donation so I could give my heart to you it also looks like the voicemail transcription feature is starting to roll out the actual feature is still in beta itself but you can tap on an individual voicemail and voila the transcription is there pretty sweet also I could go on and on about watch os3 and you know it's completely changed about how I feel about the Apple watch because I'm wearing it almost every day now we've talked about what makes it different but one of the new app editions is called breathe this isn't a throwaway app and it's actually useful for simple deep breathing exercises that can help you relax your body and quiet your mind I've used it in its really a nice feature to have plus you can even set reminders to take in a deep breath just breathe hey what's up hi so yeah that still wants to make me throw up in my mouth you can adjust how often the breathe out remind you but even after all that I still love watch os3 I'll write a report from digit times claims Apple may switch to micro LED displays for the Apple watch in the second half of 2017 at the earliest moving away from the current OLED screens the timeline would suggest OLED screens would still be around for the Apple watch to and micro LED panels would be ready for the Apple watch 3 micro LED displays are thinner and lighter with an improved color gamut increase brightness and higher resolutions all good things they do not require backlighting but are reportedly more difficult and expensive to mass-produce and in the latest iPhone news and rumors the latest CAD renders from nowhere else fr continue to show the larger 5.5 inch phone with an opening to support a dual lens camera and a 4.7 inch model with a larger camera cut out for a single lens and again the design reinforce is a lightning port with dual speakers at the base with no headphone jack but if you're still disgusted over apples insistence to have an entry-level iphone with 16 gigs a Wall Street Journal report has squashed that claiming the iphone 7 or whatever they call it will finally come with 32 gigs of storage in the base model you know I won't believe it until I actually see it Plus Nintendo has decided to wake up and will invest in physical controllers for smartphones and tablets at least five years later than they should have I've written in Tendo four years for being so stubborn instead of just at the very least releasing five dollar to ten dollar versions of their classics on mobile devices you know everyone would still buy them they'll also release five new mobile titles by March again at least five years later than they should have sorry no bad apples here this is just straight embarrassing how late to the party they are but they might have completely redeemed themselves with the release of Pokemon Oh in New Zealand Australia and a roll out to some US markets you basically use your smartphone camera and gps to create an augmented reality what I'd rather call real life where you can capture collect trade and battle pokemon now for someone who regularly loses to a seven-year-old and four-year-old nephews at the card game this is my chance for revenge Jake and Tyler you hear me Jake tonga Tyler Tom you aren't going down I'm gonna kick your butts huh all right that's going to do it for this week's show you can always email us at the apple byte at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong I even got this nice sketch from Gabriel to telly of an iphone sketch he did in 1991 call back to last week's show alright thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time from the bite of the Apple
