what's happening brian Tong here fresh from comic-con 2012 welcome to the apple pie yeah what ridiculous what Jamie look this is hot i have my arc reactor here oh you hear that my blaster this is wait are you serious yes you all right guys you heard the boss just give me a second there we go all right guys and gals it's all the good and bad inside the world of Apple and there's a bundle of the iphone 5 rumors so let's get you up to speed with those first now everyone is talking about the potential chance of a slimmer iphone and the wall street journal is confirming an earlier april rumor that apple's next-gen phone will use in cell technology to make the screen thinner now the technology integrates touch screen sensors into the LCD removing the separate touchscreen layer that makes the whole screen thinner by half a millimeter and also improves the image quality at the same time the journal also claims production of the screens has already started by LCD makers sharp LG and japan display incorporated now a thinner screen could make the whole device even thinner believe it or not where Apple could even use that extra space for a larger battery yeah I'm saying gave me more battery now some reports claim the iphone is already in production but a boy genius report says the device is in the third engineering verification test phase it's at least three months out and has not entered the design verification test phase yet see you guys try saying that fast three times design verification test phase I'm parapente face of ifs your face now the report also claims they've confirmed several hardware details including not surprisingly integrated 4G LTE connectivity a bump up to 1 gigs of ram and NFC tech as well and if you still don't believe the parts floating around the internet and image of the purported front faceplate for the white next-gen iphone was leaked out earlier this week that again features the facetime camera center at the top instead of the side of the speaker and Chinese case makers from TVC mall are moving forward with their case designs before a phone is even an ounce now I got to love my people and this design features a taller phone with a smaller dock connector opening and a headphone jack port on the bottom of the phone like we've seen from leaked photos and specs but it still doesn't mean this is the real deal now speaking of real how about some actual stories that are really happening and not just pure speculation at this point apple recently won a patent for a removable iphone case that cuts down on background noise calling it a wind screen design it's designed to reduce wind noise air blasts and other noises perfect for my Apple buyers in chitown wud up and it's also clever idea but we'll see if Apple does anything with this in the future now I've primarily avoided all the back-and-forth with all these patent lawsuits between Apple and Samsung and other companies on this show but I won't today after a UK judge ruled Apple must display on its UK website for six months and also in British newspapers and magazines a published advertisement acknowledging that Samsung did not copy the design of the iPad with the galaxy tab 10.1 now the UK Court had ruled earlier that the galaxy 10.1 was simply not as cool as the iPad now take a look at this exclusive the Apple bite was lucky enough to get our hands on Apple's proposed ad campaign that makes it very clear to the naked eye that Samsung did not copy them now there's also an iPad design Samsung would never have copied during jony ive's deposition he referenced an early iPad prototype that was produced sometime between 2002 and 2004 network world was unable to track down the images of that iPad prototype even though it almost looked as thick as an iBook back then it took many of those design cues into a thinner version of the current iPad we have today alright guys onto the quick bites and the third beta of iOS 6 was released to developers and there are a few nuggets of info to pull from it the biggest is that iphone 3gs users were shown a little unexpected love as Apple has now added the VIP list feature in email and photostream sharing for 3gs users you'll also have the ability to adjust the navigation voice volume level in maps that we all wish we could do to our significant others at times and auto brightness increases gradually instead of instantly plus I message on the iPad now accepts phone numbers and there's other small improvements as well and we wanted to update you on Apple dropping out of EP well it looks like they've heard the backlash from consumers and governments who would no longer be able to purchase their computers the key word being purchase they have her listed the previously deregistered products just days after leaving it and the macbook pro retina still remains the only ineligible product at the moment alright guys now a lot of you have also been asking me about my macbook air jordan that i posted on twitter you know that one it's sexy well I talked to my good buddies at decals for macbooks calm and they are hooking up the apple byte nation with a twenty percent off code that's good until August
