what's happening Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple buy for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple on this Thanksgiving week here in the US now it's a short week but there's still enough things to talk about now last week we mentioned the charging issue that has put iPad pros to sleep and requires a hard restart well in an update Apple has responded to those complaints and said they are aware of the issue and investigating it so I will keep waiting now the Apple pencil is still not an easy grab we're still waiting even if you're someone who pre-ordered it five minutes after it went on sale me now the Apple pencil in the surface pen have been compared side-by-side and showcased in many videos the big takeaways are that the Apple pencil really excels with more finite details and pressure sensitivity the surface pen is no chump it's just that apple's pen does certain things better while the eraser on the end is also really sick now I've been able to use CNET's pencil to make some really great portraits right so so check out this poor champion iPad Nocera Branca Desi Ghee Murdock Aris in intent a link to brand nada be sure yeah it's good see I told you they were awesome and if you'd like me to make a portrait of you or your pet just sent me a picture by Twitter or email and I'll post some of them on next week's show seriously so what's the magic inside the Apple pencil that allows me to create amazing works of art and is also the reason a pencil cost 99 bucks well I fix it torn apart and remove the outer plastic casing to reveal the inner metal cylinder the pencil includes two emitters that determine the nibs angle an orientation relative to the display it also includes a folded logic board with more than five components but it weighs just a gram there's an antenna battery and lightning connector but iFixit awarded it the lowest repair ability score with a 1 out of 10 because once the battery inside dies you can't replace it now it can be fun to get a look inside but until the iPad pro gets truly killer apps designed specifically for the platform and the pencil from the ground up it still seems half-baked as a creative tool now Apple themselves didn't even have a Final Cut Pro or logic to give users a sense of how to use this product to its fullest potential I love it as a big media consumption device and that's what I bought it for a bigger iPad for travel but really it needs to be more than that now Apple had a people say stupid things moment this past week by Jimmy Iovine who joined Apple with their beats acquisition it's hard to find the right music on CBS this morning he was talking about the thinking behind the recent Apple music ad and said women find it difficult at times some women to find music yeah so he kept going with I just thought of a problem you know girls are sitting around you know talking about boys or complaining about boys you know when they're heartbroken or whatever and they need music for that right so it's hard to find the right music clearly this only applies to women right because every guy knows exactly what to listen to after a breakup make the is display don't do it baby okay Apple watch two rumors from China points the next-gen watch coming sometime in the second or third quarter of 2016 development is reportedly underway for a slimmer form factor with similar battery life and possible smart band accessories rumors say Apple is looking for a second manufacturer alongside quanta but weaker profits on the Apple watch has made other partners more hesitant due to sales numbers that Apple still won't officially report and Square has launched its new NFC reader for local businesses that's now compatible with Apple pay the reader is 49 bucks and it also has the option to accept chip card payments merchants can go check out squares website to reserve theirs today and we know by the time you end up watching this my Golden State Warriors will have broken the record for the most wins in NBA history to start the season after defeating which team is oh yeah the Los Angeles Lakers making them 69 oh it feels so good so to share my joy I'm doing a giveaway for my sports game of the year NBA 2k16 one copy for the Xbox one one for the ps4 and I will also make out with your copy now all you have to do is tell me what's my secret to staying in shape that I told you from last week's show and we'll announce the winners next time you can send me your responses to the Apple byte Etsy Netcom or tweet me at brian tong you can also send me your picture if you'd like a personal portrait from btz alright that's going to do it for this week's show thanks so much for watching and we'll catch you all next time for another bite of the Apple you
