what's happened in brian Tong here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple now for those of you that were worried last week about me I'm here you know I'm alive I'm kind of invincible so let's get to the show and the latest news Apple released the second beta for iOS 7 to developers this week and also included the ipad version as well it looks like you'd expect a bigger version of iOS with no device specific features at the moment some of the new features that have been added in the latest beta are a revamped reminders app new Siri voices and everyone who is asking about voice memos they're back as well there's also a lot of performance improvements some subtle interface changes and bug fixes that are part of the update but 9to5 mac reports one of the cool updates that include several new camera oriented features for developers Apple has added new image detectors that can detect facial expression characteristics like blinking and smiling in photos let's just hope they don't mess it up like nikons did someone blink feature and for those of you wondering we're not related now iOS 7 will also give developers access to 60 frames per second video which could lead to high quality slow motion effects and everything it just looks better in slow-mo oh well it is tummy it like looks like jello now there have been plenty of talks about the next-gen iphone getting a significantly improved camera so all these features could complement it nicely speaking of that next-gen iphone the first batch of high-quality photos of the new iPhones panel have been published by fanatic phone and show off the rumored iPhone 5s is display assembly right next to an iphone 5s they show up a longer connector cable with different connection points and lower quality images of the iPhone 5s is logic board and it's subtle differences have also been posted on macrumors and they match up with the high quality photos so all signs that we've seen so far pretty much point to the same iPhone form factor for the 5s but we'll have to see what's really going to make this next iPhone worth paying attention to so we thought this would be a great chance to get you the Apple biters involved in the show next week we want to know the top five things you want to see in the next iPhone and we'll post some of your responses in next week's show and if you include a picture we'll also put you in the show unless you look like this because no one looks like this all right let's check out a how-to for my buddy Donnell belt it's an oldie but a goodie for households with multiple iphones if you live in a home with multiple iphones ipods and ipads and you've probably run into this problem someone connects the new iphone to your home computer and loads up a few of their favorite songs and accidentally ends up with your embarrassing voice memos and all of your contacts the first thing you need to know is that you can avoid a lot of this mess by wirelessly syncing your apps and music and data using iCloud which is now baked right into iOS my second tip for avoiding this mess is to just create multiple user accounts on your Mac or PC you can have your itunes your husband or wife can have theirs and everything is kept separate and tidy all of that said if you really want to sync more than one iphone or ipad to a single itunes library here's how to do it now here's my iTunes library filled with all of my media which my wife mostly hates but let's say she's in a hurry and she really wants to get this bjork album before heading out I'm going to connect your iPhone watch it pop up in itunes here on the left click on it and you'll see a panel of all the phone settings the critical options here are the first and the last we want to make sure that this is not setup to automatically sync when connected and then we want to enable the ability to manually manage music and videos after that we'll click through on each of these other tabs just to make sure that nothing else is set up to sync no contacts no apps no podcast books or photos none of it then hit apply to make these new settings stick now if this is the first time you tried syncing this device with your iTunes library you might get a warning that says the phone was originally set out to be used with another computer and that you're about to erase this phone and sync it with content from this library some heavy language and if it scares you too much you can try one of the other techniques i mentioned earlier all right now that that's done finally I'm going to locate that Bjork album my wife wants my itunes collection here and manually drag and drop the songs onto the phone icon now up at the top you can see that they're copying right over when I'm all done I can hit eject and check the phone and I should see that the music i added is right there in the music menu thanks d onto the quick bites and according to a report from Matt trast Thunderbolt displays are again running low at third party Mac resellers and they've been told Apple is no longer making them available to purchase we're expecting new displays alongside of the release of the new Mac Pro later this year and if they're going to design them to match well this apple byte rendering is a good idea for the inspiration for their next-gen display hey Apple call me if you need someone you know to help you guys out and following American Airlines lead pilot to fly for JetBlue are now being trained to use apples iPads in the cockpit for whether flight planning and airport charts replacing the laptops and heavy paper manuals pilot kit bags can weigh as much as 40 pounds and that's really heavy if you don't wear no plus bringing on iPads is also a good thing because its employees probably won't be quitting by using the emergency slide anymore all right that's going to do it for this week's show send me your emails to the apple byte at cnet com and your tweets at brian Tong and remember tell us the top five features you want in the next iPhone for next week's show i'm brian Tong thanks for watching it will catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple
