what's shakin Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple now I just came back from Disneyland you know the happiest place on earth and now I'm back with you on the Apple bite the second happiest place on earth so let's get to the show and yes we're getting closer to Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference that was officially announced from June the 2nd through the 6th this year the eye watch is still Apple's Vegas unknown but according to digit times three different supply firms have delivered flexible circuit boards that will be integrated into Apple's I watch and is expected to be released sometime around the August and September timeframe according to multiple publications now I'm lean on the earlier side of that time table Barclays also chimed in with a report that the eye watch could include a UV light exposure sensor to help people who are prone to sunburn II I'm not because I'm brown now Texas based silicon labs announced the first single chip digital UV sensors in February and company net atmo showed off their own UV sensing bracelet at CES 2014 but the barclays article doesn't provide any specific links to Apple's I watch it's all speculation and there has been no sign of any kind that this will be part of Apple's wearable all right still not convinced about why you need to buy an eye watch I'm not either but Piper Jaffray spring 2014 teen survey yes that's an actual thing showed that there's fast growing interest in an eye wash in October of 2013 only 12% of the roughly 7,500 teen respondents were considering buying a product that doesn't even exist well the recent survey now shows that 17% of those teens would purchase an eye watch if it's priced below $350 so you can bet Apple says ok let's just push it to 399 these future spenders are also very iPhone centric with 67% of those teens plan to make their iphone their next smartphone purchase and you can add in a 1 more teen to that list who's looking forward to that iPhone as well especially guys if it looks like these latest renderings from another leaked schematics by designer ferry pashya those are just juicy all right guys an Apple TV news of filing from Comcast and Time Warner in their pitch to the FCC for their planned merger spilled some of the beans and referenced apples development of their new set-top box now in this filing they're arguing that this will help them compete with Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple so let's for a moment forget how scary a Comcast Time Warner merger would be for consumers and your cable bills but according to past reports both companies have been pitched by Apple and it makes sense that both companies have been sharing their future plans and talks with potential partners like Apple now if the two merge it would actually make implementing the rumored Apple TV connected to a single cable service a whole lot easier but waiting for a new Apple TV could even be delayed by the companies not merging it but you guys you're allowing the top two u.s. broadband and cable TV services to merge to get that it ain't having that all right we now know that the Apple versus Samsung trial round 2 is going on defendants exhibit number 4 8 9 2 4 5 it's an email from Steve Jobs that he sent to his top execs in 2010 outlining the visions he had for products including the iPhone and changes to mobile me and what was also called the Apple TV 2 jobs referred to it as making it a great must-have accessory for iOS devices with content partners like NBC CBS and HBO including a possible TV subscription and suggesting apps up browser and even a magic wand we like remote that Apple filed a patent for in 2007 now we haven't seen many of those things yet and unofficial reports are still pointing to a new Apple TV in April also we mentioned WWDC earlier in the show but for the first time ever Apple is implemented a ticket lottery system because of the demand Apple has just sent out the notifications telling people who have won a chance to purchase a conference ticket for $15.99 that's $1,599 but if you didn't win at least you get this letter of rejection also WWDC has always featured the future of iOS and OS 10 it should be no different according to nine-to-five Mac Iowa's AEA's codenamed oka mo and it will retain that same flat and punchy Johnny Ives look and feel to it the big focus will be moving Apple into the fitness and health tracking world with its health book apps and services that we've mentioned in past episodes and a major focus to bring its maps up to speed with better mapping data that's more accurate and it's Vegas omission public transit directions billboard is also reporting a possible dramatic overhaul of the iTunes Music Store after failing to stop declining music downloads and a potential on-demand music streaming service that is a no-brainer to me the report says Apple has a radical plan for iTunes which could lead to a completely different experience in three to five years in I think most people wouldn't complain about a cleaner and tighter experience compared to the bloated app that does too much these days all right guys let's get to our Apple bite giveaway and if you've seen this show you know I'm a huge fan of jealous skins because they keep all of your devices slim while protecting
