what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple bite it's all the good bad inside the world of Apple so let's get to the show and talk about the next big Apple product we can expect to see next now a beef bench test was spotted by Mac rumors recently that appears to be the next-gen 15-inch MacBook Pro with 16 gigs of RAM running OS 10.9 Mavericks the benchmark score of 12,000 497 is comparable to current gen MacBook Pros and with the next-gen Haswell processors it's really an improvement in battery life instead of horsepower that we're expecting to see that's been the case with our recent tests of the 14 plus hour MacBook Air 13-inch now the benchmark also revealed an Intel Core i7 processor featuring iris 5200 graphics which is Intel's top-of-the-line GPU option and the timing of this benchmark combined with the back-to-school season makes us a prime candidate for Apple's next product release in the very near future now there's plenty of developments on the iOS 7 front the Cupertino Kids released our third beta for iOS 7 earlier in the week that brought more visual improvements including indicator dots on the calendar app if you had events or appointments some changes to the icons and the fonts have been made easier to read across the board for multiple apps as well we've also talked about how all signs point to an approved camera and slow motion capture for the next iPhone but 9 to 5 Mac has been able to get more details for the new camera feature called mogul discovered by Hamza soon it's not the final name but mogul as in the media mogul would allow the iPhone camera to record at 120 frames per second there's no confirmation at what resolution it will record at but here's an example of an on I phone video shot at 120 frames and slowed down you'll just have to trust me if you've never seen a butterfly in real life their wings move faster than this Plus butterflies are kind of magical now in other iOS beta findings it looks like Apple's iOS car integration feature will be compatible with specific cars over Wi-Fi instead of having to be connected by a physical cable we'll assigned up automakers like Honda Mercedes Nissan Ferrari and more and at WWDC they said integration could start as soon as 2014 as long as it works with my car that I'm letting you all see right now well then I'm good with this feature are I sticking with cars the big a was recently granted a patent for touchscreen controls in a car that also include tactile feedback so drivers can keep their eyes on the road it's an extension of the very basic multi-touch invention that's been adapted to automotive uses for telematics and communication via a mobile phone you would be able to control things like your a/c our windshield wipers and the screen itself could have raised areas or ridges to offer tactile feel like potato chips now I'm still waiting for cars to fly so you guys can let me know when you get that one lock down all right in iPhone rumors and news a Chinese business news report says Foxconn is reportedly hiring workers to build the next gen iPhone Foxconn has begun a large-scale recruitment of workers and affirm reports they currently have 210 thousand workers compared to their peak of 300 thousand in 2012 that's a lot of numbers Plus do you want to see more pictures of the rumored low-cost iPhone in different colors you have two seconds to say yes or no okay I heard you through the screen in there they are Tec D even made this mock-up video of what the next budget iPhone might look like people have a lot of time on their hands and I'm ok with that so I can put this video on the show alright congratulations are in order for the App Store's fifth anniversary and to celebrate Apple is giving these apps and games away for free for a limited time to celebrate so go on and get them I would recommend tiny wings really cool game and how to cook everything because I learned how to scramble an egg and it can be very very difficult but everything it's not all happy in Apple land the US Department of Justice ruled that Apple violated federal law by playing a central role in conspiring with publishers to raise ebook prices Amazon is still the dominant player in ebooks but Apple's actions caused some ebook prices to raise to $12.99 for $14.99 from the $9.99 prices that Amazon had charged and established early on and I'm Asian so I like cheaper things now the big five publishers including CBS's own Simon & Schuster paid more than 166 million dollars in a settlement but it was only Apple that went to trial Apple said they will appeal the ruling but this smells like remnants from SJ and Apple's brash nature of the past and we're throwing out the bad apple now we also wanted to address a correction of our own the last week's show I gave Apple a bad apple for only giving consumers an app store gift card but I stand corrected Apple is still offering the full educational discounts on Macs on top of giving you the app store card in that's a bad apple on me we've also made sure the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken my booty still hurts all right guys we told you we'd read some of what you the Apple fighters want to see in the upcoming iPhone and by far the number one request was longer battery life like us on for uki who sent us this picture of himself and it's kind of weird Isaac Christiansen wants the rumored fingerprint scanner built-in to the home button Earl at well on Twitter wants a better color scheme in iOS 7 because he thinks it looks a little too girly on hello kid Dale like how I said that he hangs out with monkeys and wants one of the Siri voices to be mine okay well as long as you don't ask any dirty questions like what is derp made of and Rex wants my face blown up on the back glass panel of the next iPhone unfortunately Apple rejected our idea for the limited exclusive Bry phone five all right thanks for all your entries and everyone that I mentioned you guys are getting an awesome true fit artist collection i phone case where they partnered with some of my favorite artists and to anti-glare films from True Fit as well for their iPhone 5 and I told you guys we'd hook you up plus true protection is also giving the Apple byte nation 25% off everything on their online store with the promo code seen at 25 so check out their stuff and how your purchases will also
