what's up brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple this week Google takes on Apple on almost every front possible and sep tember 19th could be the magic date for the next iphone let's get to it and the reason we talked about competing products sometimes is to give you all an idea of the entire tech landscape and how it might affect Apple because there's plenty of you that think apple is the only tech company and I know this because of the emails you write me now Google is going for the full court press at Google i/o after they announced their plans to target the living room with their Android TV and improved chromecast that can mirror exactly what's on your phone the infotainment space in your car with Android auto a handoff flight capability between Android phones and Chromebooks and their full rollout of Android wear now LG Samsung and the super sexy moto 360 watch will be the first to feature of Google's wearable operating system and this was the perfect chance for them to steal some of apple's thunder and show us why we really should even care about a SmartWatch but instead it fell flat and we were able to order a pizza in 20 seconds no one has figured it out and it still gives Apple an opportunity to do something different but the more and more I see these demos the less interested I get now I don't speak for all of you but I don't even know if Apple can justify the need for a SmartWatch and I use my phone to tell me the time over my actual watch in here right now it says it's 324 what about you just check it out and if we get the same time that's cool now a recent Reuters report claims Taiwan's want a computer will start mass production of apple SmartWatch in July with a display that will likely measure 2.5 inches diagonally and is slightly rectangular I really hope this is a rumor because I don't want a big ass screen on my wrist that looks like I'm an NFL quarterback Andy news and rumors in the iphone space multiple sources are reporting that September the 19th is the date we should expect the new iphone to go on sale about a year after the debut of the iPhone 5s deutsche telekom started claiming that date in may and now chinese internet company Tencent is also saying that's the date iphone releases have always been on fridays just like jordans drop on saturdays but this is still very speculative alright bloomberg has confirmed multiple reports that both the 4.7 inch and the 5.5 inch rumored iphone models will go into production in july we've seen plenty of leaked images and dummy units floating around that people are paying for and the report adds that both may be available at the same time that magic month in September and if you want a sneak peek of your leaked manufactured part of the week here you go these are the alleged front and backs of the 5.5 inch LCD screen for the next iPhone so you can tell your mom that a new phone is coming really soon and next-gen iphone rumors have also talked about optical image stabilization with modules produced by InvenSense but analysts are predicting that feature may be limited to the larger 5.5 inch iphone and used as a differentiator for making it a more premium phone due to supply constraints as well we've also heard rumors at only the larger iphone 6 would use a sapphire display instead of Gorilla Glass but it seems like a total shift in strategy compared to what Apple is done in the past so we'll just keep waiting out all the rumors until this thing is actually released and yes that mystery 12-inch MacBook Air with a rumored retina display that we never saw at WWDC is expected to begin production in the third quarter according to a report from digit times they claim the actual industrial design will be similar to the current heirs but will feature design changes with a battery and the internal layout all right guys and gals the world cup is in full swing and how can you not love what Team USA is doing also the performance from my brother from another mother Neymar go 00 oh and the cannibal Earthwise Jose Suarez who was tweeted by Snickers to just grab a Snickers next time if he's really hungry now players have been told by FIFA that they are not allowed to wear beats headphones in the stadium during games because of a licensing agreement with Sony that competes with beats that sucks for Apple but if there's a conversation about Beats you know Kanye West has to be a part of it now in a recent ad week interview kanya said the Apple beat steal only came about because apples rival Samsung inked a deal with jay-z and earned what he called cultural credibility hey Kanye just because you're jealous of dre and jimmy iovine maybe for once you should just give someone credit where credit is due wait wait wait credit me a lot credit couple weeks ago I was an escape for you and there was lifting weight and I will do all that and stop for you and I see no credit for myself you even they gave credit for that guy sipi some juice in a cup then I got none all right well um cell so they are interrupting the show and um I apologize ok sorry I will I'll take care of it okay yeah yeah all right you know what isn't Brazil playing the whole cup right now yeah it's like throwing a ball to a dog alright guys that's gonna do for this week's show send us your
